Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 366 The Venerable One of Ten Thousand Laws' Reward
The Secret Realm of Qianwu, Wind and Thunder Island.

Today, Fenglei Island was bustling with activity. Special-grade instructors, who were rarely seen in normal times, appeared one after another, causing many geniuses cultivating on the island to wonder what had happened.

The entrance of the villa.

Bru and Nan Hui stood on either side, welcoming the arriving guests.

“Blue, Dark Star Marquis…”

Bai Mei stepped forward first and bowed to the two of them.

"Teacher Bai Mei... there's no need to be so polite. You are my teacher's guest, and today it is the two of us, fellow disciples, who should pay our respects to you."

"Bruce spoke up."

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Bai Mei quickly waved his hand.

In the last ten thousand years, these two have been the most famous figures in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. They have enjoyed immense prestige and have directly suppressed the slave trade. Even the three hundred kings and marquises of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom have all behaved themselves, not to mention their world lord-level teachers.

If Bru and Nan Hui were to bow, they would be apprehensive and dare not accept it.

"Master Bai Mei, please come in."

"Thank you."

Bai Mei nodded and walked towards the villa's lobby.

Soon another top-tier tutor arrived, and Blue smiled and said, "Professor Ron, please come in."

"You are Welcome."

Ron returned the greeting. He could still deal with Blue calmly, after all, he had taught Blue the laws of space for more than ten years and could be considered a mentor. But he dared not be presumptuous in front of Nan Hui.

This is a genuine, immortal deity who has been granted the title of Marquis!

"I have met Dark Star Marquis."

He bowed to Nan Hui.

Nan Hui smiled.

"The teacher is waiting inside. Instructor Ron, please go in quickly."

Following that, the other invited top-tier instructors entered the villa one after another.

Even Jimmy and Mitchell were among them.

There are more than fifty people.

……

Outside Fenglei Island.

The three immortal gods, Marquis Mingguang and his companion, had been there for quite some time. They did not rush to enter, but waited for the other special-grade instructors to enter first.

"Silver Moon, Azure Sea... have you remembered everything I said before?"

Marquis Mingguang gave a special reminder.

"remember."

Both Marquis Yinyue and Marquis Canghai nodded, a hint of seriousness flashing in their eyes.

Thinking about what Marquis Mingguang had told them not long ago, they were still unable to calm down.

"Your Highness Qingshan... has actually become a Universe Venerable, a powerhouse on the same level as the great Qianwu Kingdom Lord."

Although they were surprised, they had no doubts.

Because the source of the information was Marquis Mingguang.

Marquis Mingguang is at the peak of the Marquisate level, and his strength far surpasses theirs. The key is that Marquis Mingguang also has a powerful teacher at the peak of the King level. This news came from that teacher.

“Your Highness Qingshan… no, he is now the Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws, the supreme Venerable of the Universe. We cannot be like those Realm Lords who are fearless because of their ignorance. We must respect them, just as we would the great Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom.”

Marquis Mingguang gave one last instruction before leading the two of them to Fenglei Island.

He was very familiar with Nan Hui and Bulu, and after exchanging greetings, he went into the house.

……

Once everyone had arrived, the banquet officially began.

The scale of this banquet was much higher than that of the one when Lu Qingshan left. The food was ordered from Baiweilou, and many of the ingredients were transported from extremely distant places, even requiring the use of the Divine Kingdom for teleportation. The reason for the delay of a few days was for these dishes.

As for the wine, it was much simpler: one bottle of Divine Intoxication and Thunderstorm Wine per table, and even the main seats of Lu Qingshan and the several immortal gods were of the same standard.

When Lu Qingshan left, he was treated differently, but now, to Lu Qingshan, none of that matters.

"Your Highness Qingshan's eradication of the slave trade and the benefit of billions of native planets is admirable. I toast Your Highness."

Lu Qingshan did not display his strength in front of this group of realm master mentors. Marquis Mingguang addressed him as Prince Qingshan, a title that would never be wrong in the Qianwu Secret Realm.

“Come!” Lu Qingshan raised his wine glass. “I remember all the contributions you, Marquis Mingguang, made.”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Marquis Mingguang was overjoyed and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Marquis Canghai and Marquis Yinyue also joined in offering a toast.

The three immortal gods, who were usually high and mighty, were obsequious and cautious in front of Lu Qingshan.

……

Mitchell looked up and saw this scene. He thought of the time when he went to test the other party on Qiulong Star, and his feelings were very complicated.

The giant axe warrior he abandoned back then has, in such a short time, risen high above, soaring into the clouds, becoming an existence he can no longer comprehend.

Thinking back to the order he issued—to stop paying attention to the other party.

Mitchell felt his face flush slightly.

At this moment, Jimmy nudged his arm. "Old buddy, let's drink! If we miss today, we'll never have the chance to drink this kind of fine wine again. This Divine Intoxication costs 8,000 Hunyuan units a bottle, and that Thunderstorm Wine... is even more expensive. I can't even search for the exact price; it must be a restricted item."

Jimmy's face was flushed, whether from excitement or from being drunk, it was hard to tell.

Everyone ate and drank, not wanting to waste a single drop of the fine wine.

Fine wine is more than just about taste.

For these world lord-level top-tier mentors, these two kinds of fine wines are of great help in their cultivation and comprehension of the laws.

Even with their faces flushed and feeling tipsy, they continued to drink, cup after cup.

Mitchell and Jimmy clinked glasses and downed their Thunderstorm liquor in one gulp—a single sip that was worth more than all of his wealth.

The banquet didn't last long. It was mainly the Thunderstorm Wine that was too strong, and many mentors got drunk in no time, lying on the table unable to move... Lu Qingshan asked others to help send them back, leaving only a few close friends behind, and then ended the banquet.

……

In the hall, besides Lu Qingshan's two disciples, only Bai Mei and Luo En, as well as three immortal gods, remained.

"Whitebrow, Ron."

Lu Qingshan looked at the two of them.

"Greetings, Your Highness Qingshan."

The two looked respectful.

"You two are still at the World Lord level. Do you have the confidence to break through to the Immortal God level?"

Upon hearing this, the two were extremely excited and immediately spoke up.

"Have."

“I still have some confidence in myself.” “Well, of the two of you, White Eyebrow is the veteran, with a deep understanding of the laws, comparable to Yang back then. As for Ron, you… you have a certain understanding of the laws of space origin, and compared to White Eyebrow, you have a better chance. I’ll give you both a chance.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and two Primordial Universe Enlightenment Tokens appeared in front of the two of them.

"With this token, you can enter the initial universe to comprehend for three thousand years without having to queue. Whether you can become an immortal god depends on your own destiny."

Among these top-tier mentors, Lu Qingshan had the best relationship with Yang, making clear arrangements for him, not only helping him break through to the level of an immortal god, but also arranging the best job for him.

As for these two, their relationship was a little shallower, but Lu Qingshan still gave them a chance.

As for whether they can break through, Lu Qingshan will not provide them with any further assistance.

"Thank you, Your Highness Qingshan."

The two expressed their gratitude in unison, looking at the token with great excitement, especially Bai Mei... as if they were dreaming.

"Put it away."

After the two accepted the tokens, Lu Qingshan dismissed them and then looked at the three people, including Yin Yuehou.

he continued.

"Lord Silver Moon, you have done a great service in discovering Ling Yu and Ling Xi. I bestow upon you two volumes of the 'Green Mountain Secret Technique'... You are only one step away from becoming a Marquis and an Immortal. Study it carefully, and you should have the opportunity to become a Marquis and an Immortal God."

With a wave of his hand, two secret manuals appeared before Marquis Silver Moon.

These are "Qingshan - Basic Time Edition" and "Qingshan - Advanced Time Edition", along with two accompanying illustrations of giant beasts with secret runes of laws.

The Silver Moon Marquis was able to become an immortal god on his own, so he must have some talent... Although he is not a second-class genius, he is probably not far off. As long as he studies the secret techniques that Lu Qingshan gave him, he has a good chance of breaking through to the Marquis level, but it will be difficult after that.

Don't be fooled by the low prices of these secret techniques sold in the Virtual Universe Company's Secret Technique Pavilion. They are a special privilege reserved for core members of the Virtual Universe Company. Outside the company, let alone such complete secret techniques complete with rune diagrams, even the Virtual Universe version of Silver Moon Marquis cannot obtain them.

"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness Qingshan."

Marquis Silver Moon knelt on the ground and accepted the secret technique with both hands.

Lu Qingshan then looked at Marquis Canghai beside him.

Marquis Canghai was somewhat uneasy. Of the three, he had contributed the least, having only intervened once when Bru was cracking down on the slave trade. He wondered if he would receive a reward.

"Marquis Canghai... I bestow upon you the 'Green Mountain - Space Advanced Edition' and its accompanying secret rune diagrams. Study them carefully and strive to become an immortal marquis as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Highness Qingshan."

Marquis Canghai was extremely excited, never expecting to receive such a gift.

Finally, it was Marquis Mingguang's turn. Lu Qingshan looked at this former chief immortal god of the Qianwu Secret Realm, smiled and said, "Marquis Mingguang, your contributions are considerable. I will give you two choices: one is to receive the same treatment as Marquis Yinyue, plus a divine weapon for being a king; the other is to give you a chance to receive my guidance."

“I choose the second option: to accept the guidance of Venerable Wanfa.”

Marquis Mingguang did not hesitate at all.

There were no other realm lords present, so he directly addressed Lu Qingshan by his honorific title.

“Hmm…” Lu Qingshan was not surprised. Marquis Mingguang also had a teacher and was not lacking in secret techniques and treasures. He nodded slightly and said, “This is a rare opportunity. You are not far from being crowned a king. It would be best to ask me again at the last moment.”

"Thank you for your guidance, Venerable Wanfa."

Marquis Mingguang knelt on the ground.

"Okay, you guys go down too."

The three immortal gods departed after receiving their satisfactory rewards.

Nan Hui and Bru stood aside and witnessed the whole thing. They already knew in advance that their teacher would become a great ruler.

Seeing the grateful expressions of Marquis Mingguang and his companions, they also marveled at their own good fortune.

If even a single opportunity for guidance is treated this way, then they are the teacher's disciples, and they can ask the teacher for guidance at any time whenever the teacher has time. What kind of treatment is this?
"Bru, Nanhui, you two did a good job with things here in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Now go back to Qingshan Residence and cultivate properly."

"is teacher."

They both nodded.

The slave trade in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has been completely eradicated, so there's little point in them staying here any longer.

After so many years of tyrannical rule in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, it's time for him to focus on cultivation and be granted a title of marquis or king as soon as possible.

Lu Qingshan did not give his two disciples any reward. Letting them return to Qingshan Residence and teach them by his side was the best reward.

……

The shamanic ritual site.

The divine realm passage lit up, and two figures left the Qianwu Secret Realm; they were Jimmy and Mitchell, who had just finished attending the banquet.

Both of them were slightly tipsy at the moment.

"Jimmy, didn't you say you were going to attend this banquet... to seek Prince Aoyama's help...? Why?"

"Why didn't you mention this?"

Jimmy chuckled.

"Ah."

Mitchell nodded.

"Mitchell, you're such a blockhead, all you know is fighting and killing. No wonder you couldn't even survive in the Golden Orchid Army."

Jimmy shook his head.

"It is true that I gifted Prince Qingshan a commercial building in your name back then, but how can this favor be used so easily?"

"What about Marquis Jinlan?" Mitchell frowned slightly.

He never expected that the纨绔子弟 (playboy) he killed was actually the younger brother of Jinlan Hou's most beloved lover.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have killed the other party for the sake of military discipline.

Now... Marquis Jinlan is very dissatisfied with him. There is no place for him in the Jinlan Army. If he hadn't been hiding in the headquarters of the Qianwu Daoist Temple, he might have already been arrested and questioned.

"Marquis Jinlan is indeed powerful, and we cannot afford to offend him, but compared to Prince Qingshan, what is he? Just you wait... Marquis Jinlan should contact you soon."

Jimmy spoke with great certainty.

Before Mitchell could ask any further questions, a call came in. Upon seeing the caller's name, Mitchell's expression changed slightly. He walked aside and answered the call.

"I've met my lord."

On the other end of the call was Jin Lanhou, who was wearing a long golden robe and usually had a stern expression, but now he was all smiles and his attitude was as warm as a spring breeze.

“Mitchell, I have investigated that matter thoroughly. It was indeed Qin Sa who went too far, leading the way in violating military discipline, which is unforgivable… Your killing of him was entirely in accordance with military regulations… When you return to the Jinlan Army, I can guarantee that you will not be held responsible and will even be rewarded.”

"M-Sir...let me think about it some more."

Mitchell was completely shocked.

"Okay, you can continue your leave. You can come back whenever you want. Your position as the tenth general of the Jinlan Army will always be reserved for you."

"Yes, my lord."

Mitchell hung up the call and looked at Jimmy beside him.

"Did you know this would happen?"

Jimmy nodded: "Let me answer your question again. Your little matter was already over when you stepped into the Qianwu Secret Realm to attend Prince Qingshan's banquet. Why bother asking and wasting that precious favor?"

"Jimmy, is Prince Qingshan's influence truly that terrifying, even Marquis Jinlan..."

Mitchell took a deep breath.

Jimmy let out a burp: "Prince Qingshan's influence is far greater than you imagine, even greater than I imagined."
