Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 255 The Shocking Human High-Ranks

"happy event?"

"What joyous occasion is it?"

"Haha, Giant Axe, what good news is it? Stop keeping us in suspense!"

Beside the long stone table in front of the Giant Axe Temple, the various cosmic lords of the human race looked expectantly at the Giant Axe Founder at one end of the table.

The event that could make the giant axe so excited and lose control, shouting "Great joy!", must be a truly momentous event that would shake the entire human race!

"Could it be that you, Giant Axe, have obtained another supreme treasure?"

"Or is there some news from Luo Feng's side?"

Each of the universe's rulers was speculating.

"Haha, supreme treasure? Compared to what I'm about to tell you, what is supreme treasure!" The founder of the giant axe laughed heartily.

"Even more important than the most powerful treasures!" The lords of the universe all looked astonished.

"Ha ha."

The founder of the giant axe exchanged a glance with the Chaos City Lord standing nearby, then laughed loudly, "Don't rush, wait a little longer. I only received an email notification from Qi Yuan and don't know much. Let him explain in person when he arrives!"

"A serendipitous encounter?"

"The Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion?"

"Is it related to Qi Yuan? Hasn't he been in seclusion recently? Last time he caused such a commotion in Chaos City..."

"Could he have broken through? That's impossible, he's only been cultivating for a short time!"

Apart from the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord, all the Universe Lords present had their eyes flickering with a mixture of speculation, expectation, and disbelief.
moment--

A figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the silent temple.

A black-haired youth dressed in a simple white robe casually swept his gaze over, his eyes like an endless abyss of chaos, drawing people in.

"This"

One by one, the lords of the universe looked at Qi Yuan in surprise.

As masters of the universe, their senses were incredibly keen. With just one glance, they could see that Qi Yuan before them seemed to have undergone some kind of earth-shattering change.

It's an inherent quality. Some people develop a more resolute and sharp temperament after many battles, while others develop a scholarly air after reading a lot. Different experiences can change one's temperament.

Qi Yuan first underwent a transformation of his will, and then created the heaven-defying secret technique 'True and Void Realm'. In addition, when he absorbed the massive inheritance of the entire Ten Directions Sect, his vision and accumulation underwent earth-shattering changes, even far surpassing many of the strongest beings in the universe. With such a foundation, his temperament naturally became more and more reserved and profound.

In the past, the human race's universe lords felt that Qi Yuan was somewhat mysterious because he rose to power too quickly and they had little contact with him.

However, at this moment, in the perception of these universe lords, Qi Yuan before them was no longer simply 'somewhat mysterious,' but had completely transformed into a special existence that was unfathomable, insurmountable, and could only be looked up to with powerlessness.

"This, this feeling."

"When I first saw him, I was momentarily stunned to see the original ancestor from back then."

"A powerful feeling"

One by one, the high-ranking human race members, all at the level of universe lords, stared in astonishment at Qi Yuan as he approached.

"If it can exert such pressure on us even in this virtual universe, has Qiyuan really broken through!"

Even the ancient and powerful Lord of the Dragon Realm, a cosmic ruler, showed a look of shock in his eyes.

"Giant Axe, Chaos"

Qi Yuan smiled and strode forward. He first nodded slightly to the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord before sitting down and glancing at the other universe lords.

Under his gaze, even extremely powerful universe masters like Peng Gong, Huang Jian, and Xu Jin felt as if a chaotic abyss was directly swallowing them up, making it impossible for anyone to even think of resisting.

"call!"

A figure in white robes appeared directly beside the long stone table, in the empty seat at the other end, opposite the Giant Axe Founder.

Everyone present, including the founder of the giant axe, was completely unaware of the figure's appearance. Only Qi Yuan's gaze seemed to sweep over this direction unintentionally, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"It seems you've made quite a bit of progress this time."

The white-robed man, the 'Original Ancestor,' smiled and nodded at Qi Yuan, 'You don't need to worry about me, you can continue.'

No one but Qi Yuan could see any of this.

As the master of the entire virtual universe, the Primal Ancestor could naturally manipulate the power of the virtual universe and decide whether or not to appear.

"Everyone."

Qi Yuan's gaze swept quickly over the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, and the various human Universe Lords, before he slowly spoke.

"My clone ventured into the cosmic sea and, by chance, acquired the legacy of a powerful ancient civilization."

"The Inheritance of Ancient Civilization!"

"Another legacy of an ancient civilization?"

"What level of inheritance?"

The faces of the highest-ranking members of the human race were filled with shock.

"I only received your email notification before, and I didn't have time to ask in detail. How does the inheritance you obtained compare to the Duan Donghe inheritance that has been making headlines in the Cosmic Sea recently?"

The founder of the giant axe, seated at the head of the table, also inquired.

"The Donghe lineage has not yet been fully revealed, so it's difficult to make a complete judgment."

Qi Yuan shook his head, then smiled and said to the expectant gazes of the group of high-ranking officials, "However, based on the limited information left behind by the inheritance, in terms of secret techniques and scriptures alone, it should be no weaker than the Duan Donghe inheritance!"

He said it with great confidence.

Even now, the vast amount of heritage accumulated by the disciples of the entire Ten Directions Sect over the generations is in no way inferior to that of the Duan Donghe lineage.

If the system returns the inheritance, then the inheritance that Qi Yuan possesses will be far greater than that of the Duan Donghe lineage, and even the entire Origin Continent where the ancient civilization is located will have very few people who can compare with him!

"It is no weaker than the Duan Donghe lineage!"

"Really? Is it that exaggerated?"

"The inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage is something that even the two great holy lands are fighting tooth and nail for. The Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau alone is incredibly astonishing. If it's even more powerful than the Duan Donghe lineage's inheritance, just how powerful must it be!"

"A remarkable coincidence! Where did you obtain this kind of inheritance?"

The highest-ranking members of the human race were all stunned by the information in Qi Yuan's words!

Even the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City only received an email from Qi Yuan saying that he had obtained some inheritance and asked them to convene a meeting of all human high-ranking officials, but he did not explain in detail what kind of inheritance it was.

However, upon hearing what Qi Yuan said, it was highly likely that he had obtained a powerful inheritance that was in no way inferior to the Duan Donghe inheritance, which naturally shocked them as well!

You must know that the emergence of the Broken East River lineage caused a tremor throughout the entire universe!
Currently, across the three cycles of the Cosmic Sea—the first, second, and primordial universe eras—at least hundreds of forces are focused on the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage, sending numerous inheritors to participate in the trials and vie for this inheritance.

However, while the battle for the Duan Donghe inheritance, which has attracted the attention of the entire universe, has yet to come to a conclusion, Qi Yuan, who has been keeping a very low profile recently and has not even shown himself when the Duan Donghe inheritance was born, has quietly obtained a powerful inheritance that is in no way inferior to the Duan Donghe lineage without the knowledge of any of the high-ranking members of the human race!

Faced with this unexpected surprise, even the highest decision-makers of this human race were momentarily stunned.

"Can it really rival the legacy of the Broken East River?" The Lord of Void Gold asked in disbelief.

"Definitely stronger, not weaker!"

Qi Yuan stated firmly.

"It really is true! It's actually true!"

"I wasn't dreaming?"

"Did our human race really acquire the legacy of an ancient civilization just like that?"

The lords of the universe stared at each other in disbelief.

Even the Ice Peak Lord and the Dark Lord, who are usually extremely indifferent, showed obvious excitement in their eyes at this moment.

The legacy of ancient civilization!

It is still comparable to the powerful ancient civilization heritage of the Duan Donghe lineage!

This is something that would absolutely drive countless forces in the universe to fight madly for, and now, it has been obtained by the human race so easily?

It was a dream come true; every high-ranking human present felt it was an absolute dream!
Why are those two sacred sites in the Cosmic Sea able to transcend reincarnation?

Why were the Divine Eye Clan so powerful in the first era of reincarnation?

Besides their own strength, what's even more important is that they all inherited some ancient civilization's legacy!
That is the foundation that enables a race to rise and take off!

"Qi Yuan, what is your purpose in summoning us this time?"

The Lord of Chaos City asked.

Upon hearing the words of the Chaos City Lord, all the high-ranking members of the human race turned to look at Qi Yuan, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"There are some arrangements that require your support."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qi Yuan slowly revealed his thoughts—

The cosmic sea, an endless space of light and mist.

"After nearly a thousand years, we have finally completed the compilation of all the inheritances of the Ten Directions Sect!"

Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone looked at the black 'Yan Dao Platform' in his hand. At this moment, the secret patterns on the surface of the entire Yan Dao Platform had disappeared, and it had returned to its simple and unadorned appearance with crisscrossing ravines.

As his consciousness probed into it, an incomparably vast and expansive world appeared in his perception.

In the vast world, the most conspicuous thing was an incomparably magnificent and enormous ice-blue monster bird that directly occupied a large part of the void.

A trace of divine power imprinted itself upon him.

"Whoosh!"

The icy blue bird was taken out by Qi Yuan and then quickly merged into his body.

A faint light flowed, instantly covering Qi Yuan's entire body. In an instant, Qi Yuan transformed into an ice-blue flying beast with sharp claws and a pointed beak, huge ice-blue wings, and a long tail. It was beautiful, dreamlike, and full of endless power and speed!

"The powerful mechanical treasure 'Pantheon', at the level of an Eternal True God, excels in speed and attack. It has six layers of secret runes inside. I can only master the first two layers in a short time. As for the third layer, it will probably take some time to master it. However, even the first two layers are enough to make my combat power jump two levels directly."

"With my current True Void Realm, I should be considered a top-tier sixth-order cultivator. If I advance two more orders, I'll be a top-tier eighth-order cultivator! The strongest beings in most universes in the Cosmic Sea are only at this level!"

A powerful, incomparably powerful feeling welled up in Qi Yuan's heart.

With this mechanical treasure, 'Pantheon,' he will no longer fear any powerful being in the current universe!
Even the creator of the giant axe, who wielded the supreme treasure, the divine axe, could only flee at most, and could not truly kill it!

"Before the emergence of the World Beasts and the Jin World, I was fearless in the current cosmic sea!"

Qi Yuan felt a surge of heroic spirit.

After sensing it silently for a long time, he finally put away the 'Pantheon'.

"While mechanical treasures are powerful, they also consume a lot of divine power. The next step is to focus on finding a way to break through to the next level of divine power!"

"Among the existing inheritances of the Ten Directions Sect, there are those that can guide cultivation to the second level of the Divine Body. I wonder if, after using the system to return them, I can reach the third level."

Shangqing's clone sighed, then looked up at the front.

As the Dao-Derivation Platform was put away, only the incomparably majestic figure of the ancient giant ape remained seated cross-legged in the void.

Under the cover of the Realm of Truth and Illusion, Qi Yuan's senses were incredibly sharp, and he easily detected a faint fluctuation emanating from the giant ape's figure.

Unfamiliar information flooded his mind, gradually converging into a powerful inheritance called "Void Body Refinement".

The entire "Void Body Refinement" has nine levels, also known as "Nine Refinements of the Void," and is an incomparably powerful body refinement inheritance.

A True God Realm cultivator can complete the first and second trials.

The Void True God Realm can complete the third and fourth refinements.

The Eternal True God Realm allows one to complete the fifth and sixth refinements.

The Chaos Realm allows one to complete the final three refinements.

Each refinement, once completed, allows one's divine body to undergo an exaggerated enhancement.

Once the Nine Refinements of the Void are completed, one can be considered virtually invincible in the Chaos Realm, able to survive even against the most ordinary God-Kings!

"This 'Void Body Refinement' is even slightly stronger than the strongest inheritance of the Ten Directions Sect's body refinement lineage. No wonder that Zhu Yongzi values ​​it so highly."

Thinking of Zhu Yongzi, the former sect leader of the Ten Directions Sect, whose consciousness had completely dissipated, Qi Yuan sighed inwardly.

No matter how powerful a sect or its experts are, they are bound to weaken and perish. The world after passing through the cycle of reincarnation is probably even more dangerous and tragic than the cosmic sea.

"call!"

Shangqing's clone waved his hand, directly taking the corpse of the towering giant ape into the internal space of the Dao-Derivation Platform.

"This mysterious space was originally the 'workshop' of the powerful weapon refiner Zhu Yongzi. After receiving the inheritance of the Ten Directions Sect, leaving became much easier."

"But we can't waste these good things before we leave!"

He looked at the endless colorful mist that filled the void around him, each point of color exuding an incomparably heavy and profound aura.

"By using the core of the spaceship, I can absorb the essence of primordial energy transformed from chaotic energy. This is a valuable resource! Whether it's used to integrate into treasures or to enhance the foundation of my divine kingdom, it's excellent. Moreover, it will be useful for my upcoming plans."

With a thought, Qi Yuan caused the 'True and Illusory Realm' that enveloped the entire endless space of light and mist to rapidly contract, and the faint dark radiance directly brought together the colorful light and mist in the entire space.

"Huhuhu~~~"

In just a moment, the dark world and colorful mist that enveloped the entire space completely receded, directly converging into a smooth, round bead, less than the size of a thumb, black with a faint glow of color. Then, Qi Yuan directly put the entire bead away.

"All the gains have been made; it's time to leave."

Having done all this, Shangqing's clone took a step and returned directly to Tiandou Palace.

Then the entire mysterious space trembled slightly, and a huge black passage appeared directly in the void.

"call out--"

The Heavenly Palace disappeared into the passage ahead, vanishing in an instant.
