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

Chapter 374 The Visit of Six Cosmic Venerables

Virtual Universe, Thunder Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, in the Green Mountain Residence, Lu Qingshan looked at the spirit feather adorned with a pair of purple wings and showed a hint of interest.

"Is this a disguise technique belonging to the bloodline of the One-Horned Demon King?"

He pretended not to know and asked.

"Yes, teacher. After my bloodline evolved twice, it seems that I have awakened some innate talents. After I obtained this winged trophy, I disguised myself according to my own ideas and found that the effect was very good. Even the peak King-level experts could not see through my disguise."

Lingyu trembled slightly and then removed a pair of wings; the original wings were just a pair of metal skeletons.

It's just a very special piece of equipment for becoming a king; it's not some kind of treasure or supreme artifact.

But beneath Lingyu's disguise, she seemed to be a powerful member of the Winged Human race.

"What a remarkable disguise! Although this One-Horned Ghost King's genetic level isn't high, its abilities are still quite strong."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

"Compared to my teacher, what are my little tricks? My teacher is already a Universe Venerable. I was quite shocked when I heard this news." Ling Yu put away his wings and said with a look of admiration.

“Becoming a Universe Venerable is indeed very difficult; I, your teacher, also had a somewhat special encounter.” Lu Qingshan nodded.

Lingyu asked, "Teacher, you've broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, haven't you held a celebration banquet yet? Do you need my help to make arrangements?"

"Haha, forget it... We held a small event in the Qianwu Secret Realm before, and some Universe Venerables sent congratulatory gifts. If we hold another one, wouldn't people think that your master is greedy?"

Lu Qingshan shook his head.

he went on.

"You made a name for yourself on the battlefield outside the realm this time, killing a high-ranking King with your soul treasure. You've probably been targeted by the alien races and are now at the top of their assassination list. If you don't have anything to do in the future, try not to wander around outside, or you might get assassinated by them! Where are you now?"

"After leaving the battlefield outside the realm, I went to the Primal Secret Realm. I am currently digesting the gains of these past years and plan to challenge the Bridge to Heaven. I am confident that I can pass through the 19th level of the Bridge to Heaven."

Lingyu spoke with great confidence.

Over the years, she has fought on the battlefields beyond the realm, and her understanding of the laws has improved by an unknown amount. Now, she has cultivated the Path of the Beast God to the second level of perfection. If she breaks through to the third level, not to mention the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge, even the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge will not be a problem.

At this moment, she also understood the significance of the company's life-or-death trial. Although the danger was great, the rewards were equally great! If she had continued to cultivate in seclusion and never ventured out, she might not have been able to cross even the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge, let alone the 19th level.

As for the teacher... that was an accident!
"Yes, your progress is indeed very fast, but don't rush to break through to the Immortal God level... With the strength you've shown so far, your other teacher, the Chaos City Lord, will definitely secure better resources for you... In the Human Race's treasury, there is a treasure called the Blood of the Beast God. If you have the opportunity to apply for it, you can apply for more of it, as it is much more powerful than the Blood Crystal."

Lu Qingshan still reminded him that the Chaos City Lord might not mention these minor matters, and if Ling Yu chose to break through immediately, he might miss these opportunities.

The Realm Lord is in the nurturing stage, during which everything is free. The higher the talent, the higher the privileges obtained. Some of the good things are even coveted by the Universe Venerables. However, after breaking through to the Immortal God level, all privileges will be nullified!
Even among the Venerable Ones of the Universe, the blood of the Beast God is an extremely precious item. Although Lu Qingshan also possesses some, he can only give away a dozen or so drops, which are his remaining stock. Given his current status, it is perfectly acceptable for him to bestow it upon his disciples.

However, the quantity is too small; even if all of them were given to Lingyu, it wouldn't be enough.

"The disciple understands."

Lingyu nodded quickly, her face showing anticipation. As a beneficiary of the Blood Crystal, she was filled with excitement upon hearing her teacher's words.

"After you finish your cultivation, come to Green Mountain Residence in Chaos City. Your master has something very important to give you."

Lu Qingshan spoke last.

"The disciple understands."

……

As Ling Yu's figure disappeared into the virtual universe, Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly. Among his disciples, Ling Yu had the greatest potential and had obtained the most opportunities.

Back then, Ling Yu didn't rely on the blood of the Beast God; he simply fused with the Blood Crystal to become a Black Warrior, even surpassing his teacher in skill.

This means that her physical potential has not yet been fully developed, and there is a high possibility that she could reach a genetic level a hundred times greater before achieving immortality.

A hundredfold increase in gene density... Even among the many cosmic venerables of the human race, only a very few can achieve this.

This also means that after Ling Yu becomes a Universe Venerable, his strength will inevitably be very powerful, far exceeding that of other Universe Venerables who have just broken through.

This is not the most critical.

The most crucial thing is that Heart of the Netherworld...

That is the only innate treasure of the One-Horned Ghost King clan. If Ling Yu absorbs it, his potential may soar to new heights, making him the only first-class genius among Lu Qingshan's many disciples.

Lu Qingshan still had some confidence.

Ling Yu's talent, after several improvements, is among the top-tier of second-class geniuses, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he has a high probability of becoming a Universe Venerable in the future.

If combined with the Netherworld Heart, which can turn decay into wonder, he might truly break free from his shackles and become a first-rate genius!
Although he was looking forward to it, Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry and did not urge Ling Yu to come to Chaos City quickly.

Now that he is a cosmic venerable one, teaching and educating people in Chaos City, he is safe and sound, so naturally he has no sense of urgency.

……

Lingyu had just left not long ago.

Several streaks of light flew down from Thunder Mountain and landed directly outside the gate of Green Mountain Residence.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Lu Qingshan showed a hint of surprise before walking towards the door.

They welcomed the group of six people in.

“Venerable Wanfa, my name is Beiming. I am a close friend of your teacher, the King of Qianwu Kingdom. Have you heard of my name?”

A cosmic venerable one dressed in a black robe spoke first. "I have met Venerable Beiming. My teacher has mentioned you to me many times, saying that Venerable Beiming is his best friend."

Lu Qingshan bowed and then spoke.

As for the fact that Venerable Beiming gave him the top-grade heavy treasure sword, he did not mention it in front of the other Venerables, but his attitude spoke volumes.

"Venerable Wanfa, let me introduce you to the others. This is Venerable Leiming from our Virtual Universe Company."

The Northern Celestial pointed to a bald, muscular cosmic venerable and said.

"Thunder Venerable!"

Lu Qingshan showed a hint of surprise.

"Haha... I know why Venerable Wanfa has that expression. Venerable Wanfa has a disciple named Leiming, haha."

The Venerable Beiming laughed heartily.

“I do have a disciple named Lei Ming, but he certainly doesn’t know that there is a cosmic venerable of the human race named Venerable Lei Ming…” Lu Qingshan explained.

The temperaments of the Cosmic Venerables are all different. Some Cosmic Venerables value their dignity above all else. They don't want their disciples to offend a Cosmic Venerable just because of their names.

Moreover, since Venerable Leiming is walking in front of everyone, his strength must be immense, perhaps even surpassing that of Venerable Beiming.

“It’s alright, it’s alright!” Venerable Leiming was very straightforward and shook his head, saying, “There are at least a trillion people in the universe with the same name as me, so it’s nothing. As long as he becomes a cosmic venerable and no longer calls himself Venerable Leiming, I have no objection.”

"That probably won't happen."

Lu Qingshan simply smiled.

Everyone else thought it was just a joke. The Universe Venerable was so powerful that they didn't believe that Lu Qingshan's mediocre disciple, Lei Ming, could become a Universe Venerable. So, this condition was naturally not considered a condition at all.

Among all the disciples of Venerable Wanfa, only Lingyu has this opportunity!

"This is the Thunder Shadow Venerable."

Bei Ming continued his introduction.

"I have met the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Laws."

The Thunder Shadow Venerable greeted them first. He was short in stature and had a full beard, making him look like a dwarf.

"Raikage."

Lu Qingshan returned the greeting.

"This is the Blood Fiend Venerable."

"I've heard of Blood Fiend Venerable. You're Rakshasa's teacher, right? Rakshasa is quite impressive. Last time, she actually made it into the Primordial Secret Realm of the Realm Lord level in the qualifying battle. She'll be at least a King-level being in the future."

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Compared to the disciples of Venerable Wanfa, Rakshasa is nothing." Venerable Blood Fiend was equally polite.

The next two are Venerable Thousand Illusions and Venerable Iron Wall.

Venerable Beiming introduced Lu Qingshan.

After getting acquainted, Lu Qingshan invited the group into the living room and served them fine wine and food.

While eating and drinking, the group revealed the purpose of their trip.

"Venerable Wanfa, we have come here today for two reasons. First, to congratulate you on your breakthrough to become a Universe Venerable... Second, to invite you to reside on the mountainside of Thunder Mountain. Universe Venerables of the Virtual Universe Company have the right to build a palace on the mountainside of Thunder Mountain and can also obtain a Universe Venerable's exclusive dimensional space. You should know this, Venerable Wanfa."

"It is Venerable Thunder," he said.

"I know."

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

“Venerable Wanfa…you have become a Venerable of the Universe. It’s not appropriate for you to continue hanging out with these little immortal fellows…move Green Mountain Residence to the mountainside.”

"Yes, yes, the Cosmic Venerable must maintain his dignity; how could he mingle with these immortal gods?"

“Yes, Venerable Wanfa, now that you’ve gone to the mountainside, it will be easier for us Universe Venerables to communicate together in the future. Our Virtual Universe Company has many other Universe Venerables, and you don’t even know Venerable Wanfa yet.”

Hearing what the others were saying, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile.

These guys really have nothing better to do than eat too much.

When Luo Feng broke through to the Immortal Realm, he received preferential treatment from the Lord of Chaos City and was allowed to build a palace on the mountainside of Thunder Mountain, but they all strongly opposed it... When it came to him, they urged him to move to the mountainside.

Lu Qingshan just smiled and said, "I only came to Thunder Mountain after my breakthrough. I also thought about moving to the mountainside, but the palace on the mountainside is too big and needs to be designed. At most, it will take three years for you all to see my palace on the mountainside."

"Alright, you are welcome to visit my Thunder Manor anytime. You can also contact me if you need any powerful artifacts crafted."

"Come visit my Beiming Manor sometime, the scenery there is very nice."

“Rakshasa has been cultivating in my palace. Venerable Wanfa, when you come over sometime, give him some pointers. That kid has great respect for you, Venerable Wanfa.”

After a hearty meal, the several cosmic venerables finally departed.

To avoid being urged by other cosmic venerables, Lu Qingshan left Thunder Mountain directly.
