Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 244 Time Passes

Before handing the strange object over to the founder of the giant axe, Qi Yuan naturally made a 'backup' using the return system.

With the special 'disciple' Tianyu Wang, who was enslaved by his soul, he accepted whatever was given to him without hesitation. Although there would be no critical hit reward, each gift would reliably return 60 items to him that were exactly the same as the 'gift', making him an extremely qualified 'tool'.

One strange object, after changing hands, instantly became 61 pieces!
Even if one of the 61 wondrous items was given to the creator of the giant axe and another was given to the Chaos Pearl, Qi Yuan would still have 59 left in his hands!
A total of 59 strange items in hand!
If this news were to spread, it would likely be enough to trigger a frenzied attack and treasure-hunting by all forces in the entire universe!

However, this secret will not be easily known by anyone. Even if his several avatars perish one after another, outsiders will not be able to find any trace of the wonder in his world ring.

Because all the rewarded items are stored in the system space.

The system is bound to his consciousness, and is like an ethereal existence. Even if others rack their brains, they would never imagine that Qi Yuan actually has such a magical storage space!

Shortly after the battle in the Mysterious Realm of Yuan, Luo Feng, guided by the Lord of Chaos City, began his adventures in the Cosmic Sea.

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, continued to devote himself to his extremely busy cultivation.

His true form returned to the starry sky where Earth is located, and with the help of the 'enlightenment' effect of the Wonderful Pavilion, he continued to sense and comprehend the trace of 'evolution' left behind by the Mountain-Sitting Guest when he transformed Earth.

While sensing it, he also compared and contemplated the concept of 'creation' contained in the original star map, and various wonderful insights would often well up in his mind.

Besides the main body, the other three clones each have their own specific functions.

Taiqing's avatar was stationed in Chaos City. Apart from teaching his disciples, he spent the rest of his time studying the Dao of the Eight Great Beast Gods.

As his disciple 'Su Ai' gradually made progress in the eight paths of the Beast Gods, Qi Yuan could use the 'imparting cultivation experience' function of the return system to quickly obtain a large amount of experience from her. His own progress in the path of the Beast Gods also began to enter a state of rapid advancement.

Moreover, as his understanding of the laws governing the fusion of the eight great beast gods deepened and his foundation became increasingly solid, he also had a vague sense of the methods for fusing and applying multiple laws recorded in the nine hundred volumes of "The Way of Arrays," as if he had finally seen the dawn of entry into the field.
As for the other two clones who roamed the cosmic sea—

Over the past tens of thousands of years, Yuqing's clone has successively analyzed a large number of strange substances from the primordial universe and the cosmic sea, as well as various biological samples such as blood, hair, scales, and skin, and has already laid a good foundation in the analysis of matter and genes.

At this time, there was also a special 'strange wood' born from the Origin Continent as a research sample. As the 'strange wood' was continuously decomposed and its microscopic composition was analyzed in depth, the research on Yuqing's clone also vaguely entered a state similar to a 'bottleneck'.

He had a premonition that if he could successfully break through this 'bottleneck,' he would very likely break the limitation of the 'ten thousand times perfect gene level' and enter a wider world!
As for Shangqing's clone, given his current strength, unless he were to fight against an opponent of the fifth rank or higher, it would be difficult for him to be affected.

At this time, he spent more time exploring the natural dangers of the spaceship, seeking subtle inspiration in these powerful natural environments.

The Spaceship is a super "Legion Mechanical Flow" treasure left behind by the ancient civilization of the "Wu Kingdom"!
According to the original text, before its demise, the Wu Kingdom was slightly stronger than the Jin Kingdom founded by the reincarnation of the Mountain Hermit, and was extremely skilled at manufacturing mechanical artifacts.

The Spaceship, a powerful mechanical artifact created by the ancient Wu Kingdom, requires an entire powerful legion to operate and contains endless mysteries.

For example, it can devour chaotic energy and transform it into various primordial energies such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light, possessing powerful abilities similar to those of a small cosmic origin. This is something that no single strongest being in the universe can achieve on their own!
If one can grasp this mystery, then reasoning backwards about how various primordial energies fuse to form chaos will become much simpler.

Although the spaceship is now in ruins and most of the imprints left by the ancient civilization when it was built have been destroyed, there are still some traces left behind.

Many of the extremely dangerous places within the inner domain of the spaceship today were originally key operational nodes of the spaceship.

As the spaceship was destroyed, the entire rune circuit that maintained its operation completely collapsed. These critical nodes also collapsed and exploded under the impact of endless energy, thus forming these dangerous places.

Qi Yuan traveled to various natural and dangerous places, hoping to find a trace of the secret patterns of the cosmic ship's operation.

If it were any other universe ruler, or even the strongest being in the universe, it would be almost impossible for them to accomplish this.

However, thanks to the powerful 'transformation' ability of Shangqing's clone, he can almost simulate everything he sees, even the secret techniques used by his opponents or some special artistic conceptions.

It was with this ability that he would carefully sense every natural danger he encountered, and try to resonate with it by simulating the special atmosphere of the danger he was in, so as to capture any traces that might remain.

Over the years, he has used this method to travel through at least a hundred natural danger zones in the inner domain of the cosmic ship. Although he has not found any complete inheritances or inscriptions, he has obtained some fragmented residual secret runes from some of these areas.

As countless fragmented residual marks accumulated, some residual marks with similar functions gradually reflected each other, often bringing him some wonderful inspiration.

Based on his understanding of the Ten Fundamental Laws and the Eight Great Beast God Fusion Laws, and using the captured imprints as a reference, along with the 'evolutionary' conception he had grasped on Earth and the 'creation' conception contained in the primordial star map, Shangqing's avatar began to attempt to integrate them and create an even more powerful secret technique. This step was extremely difficult, but he persevered tirelessly.
Time passes slowly.

Qi Yuan's main body and his three avatars were all busy, and the progress of this world continued to move forward.

Luo Feng begins his adventures in the Qingfeng Realm. He battles the Lord of An Yong, discovers a mysterious space containing the core components of the Wu-Slaying Wings, and fortuitously obtains a cyan relic and a map of a spaceship left behind by 'Jie Fanzi,' the strongest being in the universe before the Great Cataclysm.
Even the creator of the giant axe, just like in the original story, was fortunate enough to obtain that supreme treasure, the divine axe, in the inner domain of the Peak Realm.

Therefore, all the high-ranking cosmic rulers of the entire human race gathered in the virtual universe for a grand celebration.

At the banquet, the creator of the giant axe, who had obtained the supreme treasure, offered to return the Soul Suppressing Tower to Qi Yuan. However, Qi Yuan dismissed him with the excuse that he "didn't need it for the time being," allowing him to retain possession of that supreme treasure.

It's definitely not needed.

About four hundred years after the battle in the Mysterious Realm of Yuan, the eldest disciple, Cang Fan, who had been sitting in seclusion on Leiyuan Star for tens of thousands of years, finally unleashed his accumulated strength and successfully passed through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, and broke through to become an immortal.

Then, just over three hundred years after breaking through to immortality, he surpassed all his junior brothers and sisters who had performed better than him, becoming the second disciple among Qi Yuan's disciples to break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm after Long Ji!

After his breakthrough, Qi Yuan was overjoyed and naturally bestowed upon him a complete set of top-tier weapon treasures, along with high-grade armor and special treasures!
While enhancing his disciple's strength, he also gained a complete set of supreme treasures once again!
Even excluding the Soul Suppressing Tower, he now possesses more than ten supreme treasures!
This number is almost equal to the total number of supreme treasures possessed by all the powerful beings in the entire primordial universe!

Furthermore, his Taiqing clone is always stationed in Chaos City and never ventures out. These ten-odd supreme treasures are more than enough to arm his other three divine bodies.

Therefore, when he said he didn't need it, he wasn't just being polite; he genuinely didn't need it.
After a lively banquet, thanks to the map of the cosmic ark left behind by 'Jie Fanzi' that Luo Feng contributed, the high-level combat forces of the entire human race who were venturing in the cosmic sea began to leave the Qingfeng Realm and move to the cosmic ark region.

After obtaining information from this map, Qi Yuan found it much easier for his Jade Purity clone and Taiqing clone to explore the cosmic ship.

Previously, the human race possessed very limited maps of the spaceship region. The outer regions were relatively well-documented, but the inner regions were extremely rudimentary.

Therefore, Qi Yuan was extremely cautious and severely restricted when traveling within the inner domain of the spaceship.

In some more remote areas, although he wanted to go, he was powerless to do so without a suitable map.

The cosmic ship map that Luo Feng contributed, which was left behind by the tenth-tier super strongman 'Jie Fanzi' before the Great Cataclysm, not only recorded in detail a large number of safe routes and dangerous places in the inner domain of the cosmic ship, but also contained some records of going deep into the core of the cosmic ship.

In this way, Qi Yuan's two clones, who were adventuring in the Cosmic Sea, naturally had more 'training grounds' to go to.

Deep within the inner domain of the spaceship, this place is extremely close to the core.

An endless world of flames, the sky, the earth, and all directions were completely engulfed by endless crimson flames.

hiss hiss hiss~~~
The intensely red flames emitted a buzzing sound, and even space and time were distorted and collapsed under the scorching heat of the flames.

Occasionally, vortexes of fire would form in this world, devouring everything, even the surrounding flames.

The process of devouring and replenishing continues endlessly.

A magnificent palace, entirely azure blue and covered with endless starlight markings, cautiously flew through this endless world of flames.

Inside the palace, Shangqing's clone had to devote most of his energy to controlling the 'Tian Dou Palace'.

"The route to the Blood Sea is relatively safe, though this safety is only relative. If one is accidentally swallowed by the fiery vortex and teleported into an unknown region, even the strongest beings in the universe could perish."

The Shangqing clone carefully manipulated the Tiandou Palace to avoid areas where fire vortexes might appear.

However, even with utmost care, when passing through an area densely packed with fire vortexes, despite having carefully avoided all of them, at the same time, dozens of new fire vortexes suddenly appeared.

Each vortex directly engulfed an area of ​​tens of light-years.

The blue palace, which was moving forward, had no room to dodge at all, and was instantly swallowed up by one of the vortexes of fire!
