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

Chapter 50 The Silver Moon Marquis's Reflections

The Secret Realm of Qianwu, Jinchen Island.

This is a place incredibly far from Wind and Thunder Island. On the island lies a peculiar place that slightly enhances one's understanding of higher-level time laws.

The Silver Moon Marquis, one of the three immortals of the Qianwu Secret Realm, has always resided here...

At this moment, in the main hall in the center of the island, a woman wearing a veil on her face frowned slightly, immersing a sliver of her consciousness in the virtual universe.

"White Eyebrows, why aren't you properly guiding Lingyu's cultivation? What are you doing here?"

In a manor on the virtual universe's Qianwu Continent, Marquis Silver Moon spoke slowly.

"grown ups."

Bai Mei lowered his head, not daring to look at the face of this great and immortal god. He spoke hesitantly, "It is because His Highness Ling Yu has encountered some problems in his cultivation."

Ok?
Just a look.

Even in the virtual universe, Bai Mei's body couldn't help but tremble. If it were in the real world, a powerful figure like Yin Yue Hou could obliterate him with a single glance.

Without hesitation, Bai Mei relayed Ling Yu's situation over the past five years, as well as what Ling Yu had just said.

"Nonsense!"

The Silver Moon Marquis's cold voice carried a hint of anger.

"How easy is it to grasp the higher laws? If there were still a few hundred years left, it would be one thing, but the Genius Battle is about to begin in only thirteen years, and she still dares to be distracted, actually deluding herself into comprehending the Law of Time..."

As an immortal god who has lived for countless years, Marquis Silver Moon only began to study the laws of time after breaking through to immortality. Now he has made some progress and his strength is close to that of a marquis.

Even a fraction of her countless years of cultivation is a thousand times, ten thousand times more than Ling Yu's. How could a mere stellar-level being have such delusions?!
And then there's Lu Qingshan. It's one thing for Ling Yu to act recklessly, but why did he have to join in?

Yin Yuehou, who originally had some goodwill towards Lu Qingshan and thought he had some teaching ability, was now quite dissatisfied with Lu Qingshan.

Although Bai Mei didn't explicitly state it, Ling Yu was cultivating a secret technique created by Lu Qingshan, so she simply wouldn't believe there was no connection between them.

"Bai Mei, you may step back now. I will go to Fenglei Island myself."

As soon as Marquis Silver Moon finished speaking, he disappeared into the virtual universe.

Looking in the direction where Silver Moon Marquis had just been, a bitter smile appeared on White Eyebrows' face.

“Your Highness Lingyu, this matter is too great for me to keep secret. I hope you will not blame me.”

After saying that, his body also disappeared from the spot and reappeared in Lingyu's manor on Fenglei Island.

Ling Yu didn't speak, seemingly already knowing what Bai Mei had done. He looked towards the mountainside of Fenglei Island, where Teacher Lu Qingshan's villa was located.

"Teacher, you have already solved all my problems, so why am I still unable to get started?"

"But I have clearly sensed the fluctuations in time."

"Why!"

Ling Yu's face was somewhat desolate. If she hadn't persisted for five years and reached the point where she could no longer hide it, she wouldn't have said those words to Bai Mei just now. She only wanted to cultivate silently and then make a name for herself.

But now...

She could ignore Bai Mei's words, but she could not disobey her teacher, Yin Yuehou!
"Teacher Lu, where exactly did Lingyu fall short in that final, slight mistake?"

Unfortunately, no one answered him; Lu Qingshan hadn't visited her manor in five years.

Lingyu continued to look upwards, towards the top of Fenglei Mountain.

Amidst the flashes of lightning, a gust of wind howled past, and Ling Yu's face paled slightly.

"Your Highness!"

Bai Mei felt a pang of heartache and regret, as if he himself had destroyed His Highness's dream and broken His Highness's wings...

But he was a mentor personally sent by Marquis Silver Moon, and he was responsible to Marquis Silver Moon for everything.

Moreover, things have already come to this point, and there's no going back...

At that moment, a slight ripple appeared in the air, and the Silver Moon Marquis, dressed in a white dress and with a face shrouded in mist, appeared in the sky.

Looking at the stubborn disciples below, a flash of rage crossed his eyes! He was about to speak.

Suddenly, she stopped.

The spirit feather below seemed to have entered a strange state of enlightenment.

"I saw it, I saw it..."

"Wind, thunder, time... So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

Ling Yu's laughter puzzled the White-Browed Realm Lord.

suddenly.

Ling Yu's body moved, and an illusory form floated out from him. Then, a second, a third... a ninth... a tenth!!!

"How could this be... Her Highness..."

Even Bai Mei, who was standing to the side, could sense the changes in Ling Yu's ten illusory forms.

Although the number of illusions only increased by one, each of these ten illusions felt different from the originals.

It seems that... each phantom exists in a different dimension of time.

Bai Mei realized a possibility and was shocked. For the first time, he dared to look up at the figure in the sky, wanting to seek answers from Yin Yuehou.

Yinyue Hou stared at Lingyu's illusory form, his eyes lowered, and the words of blame he had intended to utter remained unspoken.

She chuckled.

The sound was like the swaying of wind chimes.

"Lingyu, my disciple, you are not bad, not bad at all... You have grasped the fundamental laws of time..."

"It turned out to be true!"

Bai Mei was deeply shocked.

His Highness Lingyu had indeed accomplished this almost impossible feat, and then he looked terrified. Unfortunately, this had nothing to do with him, and he had almost ruined His Highness's plans.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations! Your Highness has mastered the laws of time; your future is limitless!"

Bai Mei quickly offered his congratulations.

"Teacher Lu, I did it, did you see that?" Ling Yu looked away from the villa on Fenglei Mountain.

Then he bowed to the Silver Moon Marquis who had landed and said, "Teacher, it was my fault. I made you worry."

Looking at her sensible yet stubborn disciple, Yin Yuehou's eyes, as bright as stars, flashed with a hint of helplessness. She stepped forward and helped Ling Yu up, saying, "You did nothing wrong. It was your teacher who underestimated you. Your teacher almost buried a true genius."

The most difficult part of mastering a law is getting started; once you do, subsequent cultivation becomes much easier. Ling Yu had entered the realm of the Time Law thirteen years before the Genius Battle began, giving her ample time to transform the law into her own power.

Marquis Yinyue wasn't the kind of stubborn old woman who would get angry or try to argue if she was wrong.

Wrong is wrong.

She misjudged her disciple's potential and almost sent a genius who was among the top ten in the universe to the apocalyptic secret realm.

If the great ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom knew about this, he would probably punish her.

The king values ​​geniuses so much, yet the number of geniuses in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is decreasing, and they have even performed poorly in the Genius Battle for many consecutive years. Could it be that there is a problem with the way the secret realm cultivates geniuses?

Marquis Yinyue began to reflect and review, wondering if, over the countless years, there had been any other geniuses like his disciple Lingyu whose talents had been wasted.

at this time.

"Greetings, Lord Silver Moon Marquis."

Lu Qingshan, dressed in a green robe, slowly approached. He had just broken through to the Spirit Feather realm and had sensed some fluctuations in time from afar on the mountainside of Fenglei Mountain, so he came to confirm it, only to encounter Marquis Yinyue...

　Sorry I'm a few minutes late.
