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

Chapter 62 didn't involve cheating, it just wasn't turned off.
The stars and rivers turn, and another year has passed.

Under the influence of the Dragon Soul Jade, Lu Qingshan's soul is transforming at a significantly faster pace, and he even has a certain possibility of breaking through to the Realm Lord level now...

However, there is a chance of failure in breaking through now. If it fails, it will damage the soul. Lu Qingshan is not in a hurry. He plans to use up all the soul power in the Dragon Soul Jade and wait until his soul has completely transformed before choosing to break through...

It's not like it'll be more than a few years anyway, so there's absolutely no need to take the risk!
Inside the World Ring, the amount of Locke Divine Water, which was originally only the size of a small pond, has increased considerably. Although it is still a small pond, its area is noticeably larger...

Lu Qingshan had prepared everything for this year's gifts at the Qianwu Auction. He gifted the ten sets of Lan Ke Fruits he won at the auction to Lei Ming and Paris. These Lan Ke Fruits would allow them to cultivate the Mo Yun Vine to the ninth level of the Universe...

The returned treasure is still Locke Divine Water, and it's three times the amount from last time! A full 3 cubic meters.

However, that's all. The system's judgment on cultivating plant life is based on their own strength. In other words, they are currently at the ninth level of the stellar realm, but they are only allowed to raise the plant life to the ninth level of the cosmic realm...

Perhaps only after they break through to the cosmic level will the restrictions be lifted.

There are no instructions on how to use the cheat system; feedback is only provided when Lu Qingshan triggers a certain mechanism of the system.

For example, money given to disciples cannot be returned as cash, can only be given once a year, and items that are too high-end or unrelated to the disciple cannot be returned as cash...

Lu Qingshan figured all of this out on his own.

For example, when Lu Qingshan encountered the unicorn ghost king's horn, he realized that it could be bestowed upon Lingyu, because there was a close connection between the two.

All the boundaries need to be explored by Lu Qingshan himself, which has its advantages, as it adds more fun to the exploration and is not just about opening blind boxes.

Looking at this pool full of Locke's Divine Water...

Lu Qingshan's eyes held a hint of solemnity.

"That immortal from the Treasure Pavilion guessed that I still had other Locke Divine Water on me, and he was right... That guy is still haunting me, he's a bit of a nuisance..."

"Fortunately, I'm absolutely safe in the Qianwu Secret Realm... As long as I reach the Realm Lord level and acquire other treasures, I have a great chance of escaping from the hands of immortal gods..."

Lu Qingshan already had a plan in mind.

He won't leave Qianwu City, let alone Qianwu Secret Realm, until he becomes a Realm Lord.

As for retaliation, that's for sure...

Having lived for 90,000 years, even though his mindset is much more stable now, Lu Qingshan is still not the type to not fight back when bullied.

Everything will have to wait until I break through my own level and the clone of the One-Horned Demon King is born.

Perhaps the clone of the One-Horned Demon King could bring him a different kind of surprise.

His knowledge of the One-Horned Demon King came solely from the introduction at the auction, lacking much useful information.

"Two more years..."

Lu Qingshan looked at a giant white egg that was gestating life on the shore of the pond not far away.

This is his clone, and it will be successfully conceived in two years...

"Star-Eating".

Lu Qingshan called out.

A massive creature with thick roots and leaves covered in sharp serrated edges emerged from the pool.

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's call, his leaves fluttered as if expressing his emotions.

"So happy, so happy..."

“Star Eater, from now on, you can consume these Locke Divine Waters at will… Strive to break through to the Realm Lord level as soon as possible. Only when you reach the Realm Lord level can you help me, understand?” Lu Qingshan stroked the leaves of the Star Eater Grass.

The other serrated leaves of the Star-Eating Grass resembled a kitten's head, curled up in a ball, pressing against Lu Qingshan's trouser leg.

After exiting the World Ring, Lu Qingshan's consciousness once again entered the star map containing nine stars.

"Yesterday, Lingyu provided me with a thousandfold return on the Law of Time Origin. This time, I should be able to fully comprehend all nine stars at once. I wonder if, after I fully comprehend these nine stars, things will turn out as I expected..."

The star chart, as always, emitted a faint starlight. Lu Qingshan's consciousness shifted directly from the first seven stars to the eighth star...

In an instant, countless insights into the fundamental laws of time flooded his mind... The laws of time he had previously comprehended, as well as the cashback he received from Ling Yu yesterday, were all naturally deduced and integrated in his mind...

Gradually, it manifested as a sword technique manual...

"This move is called Moon Slayer..."

Elegant and beautiful.

"This move is called Starlight..."

It was as brilliant and beautiful as the Milky Way; with a single stroke, it transformed into a sky full of stars!
The two manuals, with each move evolving within Lu Qingshan's consciousness, gradually became perfect.

Consciousness returns.

"How long did I spend contemplating Nasus this time?"

"Master, a total of 17 days and 21 hours have passed this time."

"It's been this long!"

Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised. Previously, it would only take him a maximum of fourteen days to comprehend the Star Chart, but this time he broke the record directly.

Perhaps it's because of the transformation of my soul that I was able to persevere longer and feel the pressure from my soul. Also, there are too many time laws to sort out this time, which is why it took so long.

The longer you spend reflecting, the greater the gains you will make.

"Now I have fully comprehended all nine stars in that star chart, and with the addition of the two secret manuals, Moon Slash and Starlight, 'Green Mountain' has collected nine sword technique manuals..."

“These nine secret manuals, each representing one of the essential laws of time… together they form a complete star chart… no, not a complete star chart. Nine stars are nine stars, and a complete star chart is a complete star chart; these are two different concepts…”

"No wonder the star chart didn't change at all; it turns out I still haven't fully grasped it... Perhaps, only by understanding all the combinations and variations of these nine essences can I succeed..."

Lu Qingshan had a slight smile on his face.

He has already grasped the nine essentials. Would it be difficult to connect them and integrate them into a whole?
Perhaps after a few more attempts to comprehend the star chart, I will succeed.

With my current understanding of the fundamental laws of time, if I were to attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge that records these laws, reaching the fifth level would probably not be a problem...

This is already much stronger than many world lords who have mastered higher laws... Bolan had the spatial law comprehension of world lord level at the star level, but even if he did not choose the Cosmic Chaos Stele, but instead tried to break through the Nine Universes Sky Bridge that simply records the original laws of space, he would probably only be able to break through to the third or fourth level at most.

This was after Bolan had completed three years of training and broken through to the cosmic level...

I've taken the route of analyzing the essence of the fundamental laws of time. My progress was slow in the early stages, and reaching this level in just a few years would probably surprise many important figures.

Take Luo Feng for example. He spent thirty years in Chaos City, while it took him nearly a hundred years in the outside world, to master the first nine essential elements of the fundamental laws of space. Even that amazed Zhenyan Wang, an invincible king.

Lu Qingshan's ability to master nine essences in just a few years in the primordial universe is simply unreasonable!
It cannot be said that Lu Qingshan's higher cultivation level allowed him to bully others. He is currently at the Domain Lord level, while Luo Feng's original Golden Horned Beast form was also at the Domain Lord level. Their cultivation levels are comparable, so there is no question of one of them gaining an advantage.

Lu Qingshan didn't use cheats; he just didn't turn them off...
