Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 227 Mysterious Star Chart
The sixth disciple, Long Ji, spent more than ten years in Chaos City. After thoroughly familiarizing himself with and mastering the complete set of treasures bestowed upon him by Qi Yuan, he began to quietly venture to the Primordial Star.

With his current divine body strength and supreme treasure configuration, there are very few things on the original star that can pose a threat to his safety, so Qi Yuan doesn't need to worry about him too much.

Therefore, after sending his disciple away, he focused his main energy back on his main body, which was adventuring on the original planet.

Now, more than five thousand years have passed since the beginning of the original star.

For over five thousand years, Qi Yuan's true form wandered among the primordial stars, spending anywhere from a few months to one or two years on each one.

To date, his footprints have covered almost all 10081 primordial stars!

His actions aroused considerable curiosity among many members of the Hong Alliance and even other powerful alien races.

After all, the ordinary treasures that usually appear on the original star have very limited appeal to a powerful universe lord like him.

These powerful beings mostly ventured into the cosmic sea long ago and rarely appeared on the original planet.

Moreover, even when entering the Primordial Star, they are usually only attracted when powerful treasures such as high-level or top-level treasures are born. They would not wander around aimlessly at other times.

Therefore, Qi Yuan's continued appearances and wanderings around the original star naturally aroused the curiosity of many powerful figures.

However, given the lessons learned from the three major clans, none of these powerful individuals dared to question or provoke them, despite their curiosity.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan mostly just wanders around. Even if a treasure appears, he will only occasionally show up to compete for it if it is extremely rare or if the place of its appearance happens to be close to him. He usually doesn't make a move.

Therefore, after paying attention for a while, the powerful figures who roamed the original star got used to his presence and were no longer as fearful and wary of him as they had been at the beginning.

Original star number 10081.

In front of a certain vortex channel.

"call!"

Qi Yuan, clad in dark gold armor, appeared on this primordial star.

"The last primordial star."

The moment he appeared, Qi Yuan's consciousness began to spread out, using his connection with the origin of the universe to perform a special 'location' of the original star he was on.

When he first ventured to the Primordial Star, he was somewhat at a loss as to where to begin in exploring its secrets.

After all, the matter of the entire primordial star was like a single entity, which not only could not be taken away, but also isolated it from all exploration, making it impossible for him to observe the internal structure of the primordial star.

To think that one can uncover the secrets of a primordial star simply by looking at its 'appearance'—mountains, land, and forests—is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Therefore, although Qi Yuan had some ideas at the beginning, he didn't really have much hope. He just wanted to explore the original planet and see what it was like.

However, after wandering for over five thousand years, his footprints covering countless primordial stars, a completely unexpected discovery occurred to his senses.
During his time as a Realm Lord, he received a special reward called the 'Heart of Law'.

With this 'Heart of Laws', he can always connect his consciousness to the origin of the universe, and this ability still exists even after he breaks through to immortality.

In addition, he had previously absorbed a wisp of extremely peculiar dark energy in the mysterious space deep within the Time Prison, and his soul underwent an incredible transformation, becoming in perfect harmony with the origin of the universe.

And it is precisely because of this incredibly close and intimate state that his perception in certain aspects can be described as exceptionally powerful.

For example, he was able to use the distant and unknown origin of the universe as a vague reference to mark the original stars, which were originally located in independent spacetimes, with some special 'coordinates'.

Upon discovering this, it naturally piqued his great interest immediately.

For over five thousand years, he has continuously set foot on one primordial star after another, using himself as a 'locator' to obtain the 'coordinates' of each primordial star and attempting to present them in the same 'reference frame'.

The primordial origin of the universe is somewhat like an ethereal, ethereal existence. Under normal circumstances, except during the realm lord period or after gaining recognition from the primordial laws, one can communicate with the origin through consciousness. On the conventional scale of time and space, it is simply impossible for cultivators to detect it.

As the 'place closest to the origin of the universe,' each primordial star seems to exist in its own independent spacetime, and cannot be located in a conventional way.

However, Qi Yuan used the special state of perfect harmony between his soul and the origin of the universe to locate and mark them in a very unconventional way!

Over five thousand years, passing by one primordial star after another, and locating each primordial star, a very special 'star map' has gradually been perfected in Qi Yuan's consciousness.

Each star on the 'star map' corresponds to a primordial star!
At this moment, as Qi Yuan, through a hazy connection with the origin of the universe, 'positioned' and marked the primordial star where he was currently located, a dazzling point of light rapidly shone in a corner of the mysterious 'star map' deep within his consciousness.
Individual stars, arranged in a specific orientation, form a remarkably complete 'star map'.

"boom!"

The incredibly mysterious star map caused Qi Yuan's consciousness to resonate with a jolt, as if endless mysteries were constantly pouring into his sea of ​​consciousness.

But when he actually tried to capture it, he felt that he couldn't grasp anything.

However, the more elusive he became, the more his consciousness was drawn to it, as if the 'star map' held endless mysteries waiting for him to explore.

"What is this? A peculiar pattern composed of the positions of 10081 primordial stars, seemingly encompassing countless great principles—amazing, truly amazing!"

Qi Yuan's consciousness was involuntarily drawn to and awestruck by the mysterious star map, and he couldn't help but want to immerse himself in it.

"Go back to the Kingdom of God first."

Qi Yuan made a decisive move, immediately finding the corresponding vortex passage to leave the original star. Then, using teleportation and divine kingdom teleportation, he quickly returned to the divine kingdom.

Then, he no longer suppressed the attraction, and his consciousness quickly immersed itself in that incomparably perfect special 'star map' that seemed to contain all the mysteries of the world.

The dazzling 'stars' are arranged in strange positions, and there seem to be countless connections between them.

As if by instinct, Qi Yuan followed some mysterious feeling and tried to connect the trajectories of the 10081 stars. However, there were countless ways to connect the 10081 stars.

Different combinations of stars create vastly different moods. Even with the same stars, different connection orders will change the mood.

With each combination and each wondrous artistic conception, Qi Yuan was like a child encountering a novel toy, unable to help but immerse himself in it. Even Taiqing's clone in Chaos City, and Yuqing and Shangqing's clones in the Cosmic Sea, all dispersed most of their consciousness to immerse themselves in this mysterious star map.

Completely immersed in the moment, I lost track of time.
While he was engrossed in his research, the entire primordial universe remained bustling with activity due to occasional messages coming from the primordial star.
"The Mechanical Race's Venerable Wu Hua actually managed to seize a high-level realm treasure amidst the siege of dozens of Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords! Powerful, incredibly powerful! A high-level realm treasure is comparable to a typical top-tier treasure. Venerable Wu Hua has made a huge profit!"

"The core component of the top-tier set treasure 'Whirling Light Soul-Devouring Armor' has appeared, leading to a massive battle among more than a dozen Universe Lords. It was a brutal fight; I heard that the Vulture Lord of the Misty Peak Alliance almost perished because of it!"

"On the original planet No. 08953, a high-grade treasure armor was born, attracting a massive battle among hundreds of cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords. Unexpectedly, it was ultimately snatched away by a human celestial ...

"The top cosmic overlord of the Northern Frontier Alliance, Lord Yanfeng, was hunting down Venerable Tianshi, but unexpectedly, Venerable Tianshi escaped with the help of a high-grade treasure, the Palace. Good heavens, that Venerable Tianshi is too rich! He has at least four high-grade treasures, including special treasures such as domain-type and palace-type treasures!"

"The Lord of the Ancestral God Cult, the Lord of the Netherworld, severely injured the Lord of the Thorn Ring Alliance, and obtained a token from the Temple of the Primordial God!"

"The Dao River Venerable of the human race has appeared! In just one year, he has killed dozens of Universe Venerables, including 5 Universe Overlords. Another human genius has risen. Why is the human race so blessed with good fortune!"

"It seems that since the opening of the Primordial Star, the human race's cosmic venerables have become much richer. Even the high-level venerables seem to all possess supreme treasures, some even more than one. Are humans really this generous to their own cosmic venerables?"

The primordial star will be activated, but it will take a full 1000 epochs to complete.

Over the course of 1000 epochs, countless treasures were born and countless exciting battles broke out, naturally generating endless topics of conversation.

In this lively atmosphere, time quietly slipped away.

Hundred years, thousand years, ten thousand years
On this day, Qi Yuan, who had been immersed in the mysterious star chart for over ten thousand years, finally seemed to awaken temporarily, as if he had gained some insight.
