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

Chapter 369 Special Life, A Disciple's Opportunity
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—who holds the colorful ribbon dancing in the sky?

Outside the planet's atmosphere, countless dazzling streams of light shimmered, like flowing ribbons intertwining and enveloping the entire planet in a giant neon light shield.

Lei Ming stood in the void, gazing at this beautiful scene.

The Colorful Star.

This was the first stop on his training journey with his teacher. It was here that he gained insight into the realm amidst life-and-death battles, laying the foundation for becoming a powerful figure.

When I came back today, everything had changed, and people and things were no longer the same.

After a moment of sadness, Lei Ming accelerated, rendering the Starry Sky Air Defense System useless against his speed.

He easily reached the surface of the planet.

The planet Fantasy is much more prosperous than before, with handsome men and beautiful women walking on the streets, and some space travelers who have come specifically for tourism.

The planet Fantasy Star had few resources. When it was enslaved, the three enslaved people only sold the handsome men and beautiful women on the planet. After taking back the planet, Mona saw a business opportunity and vigorously developed the tourism industry, which gave Fantasy Star the capital to stand in the universe.

Today, Fantasy Star is a well-known tourist attraction in the Maple Leaf Empire. The handsome men and beautiful women on Fantasy Star also attract many single people who want to have a love story that spans the planet.

Lei Ming's appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, but the confidence and world-weariness that come with strength naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The boy who used to blush when a girl gave him a flirty look has now grown up and can handle such advances with ease.

Lei Ming didn't talk to anyone else, he just kept walking down the street.

After a long time, he arrived outside a cemetery.

As Lei Ming walked up to the tombstones filled with flower baskets, he glanced at the portrait of the girl on one of the tombstones. She was still as lively and lovely as she had been in her youth.

“Mona…”

Lei Ming spoke slowly.

The girl he once had a slight crush on was lying inside, and Lei Ming still felt a pang of sadness.

However, he also knew that a life of comfort and pleasure was not what he was looking for. He had a powerful teacher, and becoming a strong person was the path he had to take.

"Lord... Lord..."

A hesitant voice came from behind.

Lei Ming turned his head and saw a burly man. Unlike the men and women on Illusionary Star, this man was too strong and gave people a feeling of being very solid and powerful.

"you know me?"

Lei Ming asked.

The burly man nodded hurriedly: "My lord, I am Tamu, Mona's brother... I heard that strangers came to pay their respects at Mona's grave, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you, my lord..."

Although tens of thousands of years have passed and the planet Fantasy has continued to develop freely, Tamu knows that their planet Fantasy has a nominal master, and it is that master who saved their planet Fantasy from dire straits.

"You're not bad... being able to cultivate to the cosmic level shows you have some talent."

Lei Ming glanced at him, not caring at all... He was just a cosmic-level being, a king on an ordinary life-bearing planet, but he was no match for him.

"Thank you for your praise, lord."

Tamu quickly expressed his gratitude.

“Since you are Mona’s brother and the strongest person on this planet, I will transfer the Illusionary Star to your name,” Lei Ming said.

"My lord, our Rainbow Star has accumulated some savings over the years. We can spend money to buy Rainbow Star from you," Tamu said nervously.

"No need!" Lei Ming waved his hand directly: "This little bit of money is useless to me. Keep it for your own development."

"Yes, lord."

Tamu stepped forward, walked up to Lei Ming, and took out a box from his spatial ring, saying, "Lord, this is something left behind by Mona before she died. She said... if I live to see you again, I will give this to you."

"Oh, what's inside?"

Lei Ming took the box.

“No…I don’t know…” Tamu shook his head and said, “I have been following Mona’s will and waiting for your arrival, Lord, so I have not opened it. If you want to know what it is, you can open it and see for yourself.”

"Yes, I accept this gift. I have already arranged the procedures for the transfer of planetary lordship, and it will be transferred to you soon. You don't need to do anything... If the Illusionary Star encounters any insurmountable danger in the future, you can seek help from the Maple Leaf Empire. Just mention my name, and they will know what to do."

Lei Ming looked at the exquisite box and spoke.

"Thank you, my lord."

Tamu was extremely grateful.

The lord before them was a world lord-level powerhouse recognized by the fundamental laws, so his words were naturally of great authority.

With this statement, the planet Fantasy Star will be completely safe from now on.

Lei Ming simply nodded, then turned and left.

After leaving the planet Fantasy, Lei Ming opened the box that Mona had left for him.

Inside was a thin leather scroll, its surface yellowed and showing signs of age, with some areas corroded. It was unclear where Mona had obtained it.

"what is this?"

Lei Ming examined it closely and found that it seemed to be a map, but it didn't quite look like one. The writing on it seemed to be the language of some indigenous civilization, neither the universal language of the universe nor the language of the planet Illusion.

"Xiao Lei, can you help me analyze what these pictures represent?"

Since Lei Ming couldn't figure it out himself, he asked the intelligent life form to help analyze it.

Soon, intelligent life provided the answer.

“Master, based on my deduction, there is an 80% chance that this scroll is a treasure map. The location marked on it is a cosmic coordinate, and we have passed by it before.”

"A treasure map? I've passed by this place before?"

Lei Ming was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Master, please look, this is the location of that cosmic coordinate."

The spaceship's screen changed rapidly. The iridescent star in front of us turned into a tiny dot and quickly disappeared. Then, a red dot appeared in the distant starry sky, representing the coordinates.

"I've actually passed through here...it's quite remote!"

Looking at the interstellar map, Lei Ming realized this place was familiar. He had felt it was quite remote before, and it seemed he had even had Mo Yun Teng leave a leaf nearby as a divine power coordinate. The spaceship traveled to a secluded corner, and Lei Ming immediately had Mo Yun Teng activate the divine kingdom teleportation, arriving near the coordinates in a short while.

The E-class mechanical ship started at full power and arrived at the coordinates in just a few days. It was a void of starry sky, seemingly devoid of anything.

"Activate the detectors and start full-scale detection!"

Lei Ming gave an order, then his eyes were fixed on the detector.

“Master, there is a slight spatial fluctuation at the coordinates, as if something is hidden in the spatial interlayer.”

The intelligent life form, Xiao Lei, spoke excitedly.

"Moyun!"

Without Lei Ming's command, Mo Yun Teng tore open space, and the two continued forward along the spatial rift. Before long, they saw a dilapidated divine kingdom.

This divine kingdom has already detached from the divine kingdom layer and is located in a very shallow area of ​​the spatial interlayer.

If a powerful individual were fighting here, it would be easy to spot them.

"A divine kingdom? Or a dilapidated divine kingdom? Could there be some treasure hidden here?"

Lei Ming was somewhat surprised.

He went to the location with the coordinates that Mona had left for him out of mere interest. He thought that Mona was only at the stellar level, and at most she would leave behind opportunities at the cosmic level or even the domain lord level. He never expected that it would turn out to be a dilapidated divine kingdom.

“Mona must have been here before, but she couldn’t break through the spatial rift. She thought there must be some benefit here, so she left it for me. After all, the strongest person on the Illusionary Star is only a cosmic-level Tamu, so it’s impossible for her to come here.”

"what is that!"

Upon closer inspection, Lei Ming discovered that where the Divine Kingdom Temple had once stood, a massive vine crackling with lightning lay sprawled on the ground, resembling a primeval forest.

Seemingly alerted by the thunder, the vines became highly vigilant, and streaks of purple lightning shot towards the direction of the thunder.

"Boom boom boom!"

Lei Ming did not dodge.

He let the lightning strike him, his armor easily absorbing it all.

Feeling the power of these thunderbolts, he showed a look of shock.

He thought that no one at the Realm Lord level would pose a threat to him, but he didn't expect that the strength of this vine was beyond his imagination. If it weren't for the armor bestowed upon him by his teacher, he probably would have been seriously injured just now.

"Only a World Lord level... its attack power is so strong... even stronger than that of an ordinary immortal god. What is this thing? Could it be the extremely rare special life form that the teacher mentioned?"

Lei Ming's face lit up with joy.

He learned about special life forms from his junior brother, Lu Lingxiao.

His junior brother, Lu Lingxiao, possessed an extremely powerful special life form, and he was no match for even a single clone of it.

If this thing is a special life form... then the opportunity is enormous!

Although he couldn't understand why this vine, which resembled a special life form, would appear in a dilapidated divine kingdom, Lei Ming was very excited. He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly said...

"Mo Yun subdued him!"

No matter how strong a special life form is, it is impossible for a mere World Lord level being to rival the peak Marquis level Moyun Vine.

Soon, the Moyun Vine suppressed the huge vine flashing with lightning. If it weren't for the worry of accidentally killing it, there would have been no need for such trouble.

"I don't have the authority to look up this information. I'd better ask the teacher."

After subduing the purple vines, Lei Ming immediately called his teacher.

Soon, the teacher appeared on the video screen, and judging from the background, it should be in a restaurant.

"Lei Ming, you rarely send me call requests first. What's up today?"

"Teacher, I'd like you to help me find out what this is."

Lei Ming pointed the camera at the suppressed vine.

"This is?"

Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised, and then began to search. During this time, he returned to Thunder Mountain, where his status as a Universe Venerable was recognized, and his authority was naturally elevated.

Now, unless it concerns the most core secrets of the Lord of the Universe, there are no secrets left to hide from him in the human database.

Soon, Lu Qingshan found out what the lightning vine was.

"Thunder Spirit Vine, a special plant-type life form, with a gene multiplier of 50 times..."

"A favorite of the Lightning Law, the power of the Lightning Law is enhanced."

"The innate secret technique, parasitism... allows one to parasitize a target with a soul, replacing and assimilating the other party into one's own parasite, becoming a kind of clone. Normally, the Thunder Spirit Vine can hide, allowing the parasite to walk outside. Even if it dies, it can parasitize again. At the same time, it cannot parasitize more than three targets."

Indeed, it is a special life form with very strong comprehensive abilities. Its parasitic ability alone is enough to save its life... The key is that it is at the level of a World Lord... Lu Qingshan was very surprised. He did not expect that his disciple Lei Ming would have such an opportunity.

Lei Ming was only a third-rate genius, and his greatest future achievement would only be to be granted the title of Marquis. As Lu Qingshan's first disciple, he was obviously somewhat weak, but unexpectedly he had such an opportunity.

Lu Qingshan sent all the information to Lei Ming.

After a long while, he asked, "Have you thought it through? Are you willing to possess someone else's body?"

“Master, your disciple is willing to possess your body.” Lei Ming did not hesitate.

"Okay, I sent you a book on the secret technique of possession. Study it carefully and use it after you've mastered it."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Qingshan sent the secret technique "Thousand Threads Soul Stealing" to Lei Ming. Lei Ming had been cultivating Thousand Threads Soul Refining for a long time, and his soul will was not bad. Now he was already at the level of an Immortal Army Lord, and the danger of possessing a special life at the level of a World Lord was not very great.

He continued, "After possessing a body, don't rush to break through to immortality. You can keep some specimens of world lord-level creatures first. This Thunder Spirit Vine is quite precious and may fetch a high price."

"The disciple understands."

"Okay, be careful. If you have any questions, ask me in the virtual universe."

After saying that, Lu Qingshan hung up the phone.

He looked up and saw the door to the private room in the restaurant being pushed open, and Lingxi skipping and hopping over.
