Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 260 Breakthrough, The New Lord of the Universe

Qi Yuan's voice resounded throughout the entire secret realm.

He started by talking about the very beginning of cultivation.

From the interdependence of soul and body to the explosion of inherent potential, the core of the 'planet' is formed.

Planets evolve into stars and galaxies, and then collapse to form a 'singularity' that gives birth to a hazy realm.

The hazy realm solidified into an inner world, and then broke through the shackles to create a true divine kingdom.
It also contains the mysteries of the eight lower-level fundamental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light, as well as the vast power of time and space.
With Qi Yuan's current profound understanding of the fundamental laws, even when he recounts some low-level cultivation experiences, he can still evoke novel insights and emotions in the hearts of the listening beings.

Qi Yuan continued his sermon, and at the same time, the 'preaching' function, which could only be restored once every ten thousand years, was activated.
A mysterious power, beyond the perception and understanding of all living beings, quietly spread in all directions along with his voice.

The disciples in the Enlightenment Space, the human race's cosmic overlords, the special beings in the Secret Realm Space, and the Thunder Origin Star Clan were all naturally immersed in Qi Yuan's voice.

At this moment, guided by that mysterious power, all the beings listening to Qi Yuan's sermon entered a state of extreme excitement and activity in their souls and consciousness.

In this state of heightened spiritual awareness, their thinking speed, comprehension ability, and even sensory instincts all experience an exaggerated surge.

Each cultivator felt as if they had entered a state of 'enlightenment'. Everything Qi Yuan said was constantly touching their souls, causing them to have 'sudden realizations' one after another.

The obstacles and bottlenecks that had troubled him in the past were broken down one by one, and his insights kept soaring. Every listener was completely captivated.

Especially the 'innate beings' born in the various secret realms!
Newly born beings have no concept of cultivation and can only instinctively use their own power. They have no understanding of how to further develop their power and become stronger.

However, as Qi Yuan began to explain the various realms of cultivation and the mysteries of the laws from the very beginning of cultivation to the deepest level, these innate beings, who were originally somewhat ignorant and confused, seemed to have undergone some kind of 'enlightenment' and instantly became enlightened!

Gold is infinitely sharp and indestructible, yet it is too rigid and easily breaks.

Water has no fixed shape; it benefits all things without striving, yet as vast as rivers, it also possesses the powerful force to destroy mountains and split rocks.

"Fire, endlessly violent, destroys everything, yet new life is born from destruction."

Qi Yuan's voice echoed through the secret realm like a resounding bell, each word a gem, containing the true meaning of supreme laws.

His words were no longer just language, but transformed into ripples of law, piercing through the void and nourishing the souls of every listener.

Under the baptism of this sound, which is like the voice of the Great Dao, all the beings who listened to the sermon gained new insights and quickly broke through the bottlenecks that had troubled them for a long time.

boom!
From the direction of Leiyuan Star, the aura of the origin of laws descended with a roar.

A hundred or so Lei Yuan clan members were surrounded by shimmering light, and special marks quickly appeared between their eyebrows.

That is a sign that it has gained the recognition of the fundamental laws!
Furthermore, other members of the Leiyuan Clan continued to break through their cultivation levels.

Some members of the clan who have reached the immortal level have also become increasingly profound in their understanding of the laws.
In the icy river, the aura of the Nuwa Water Spirits surged continuously, and their transparent bodies radiated an icy blue glow.

The ice crystal crowns on their heads and the ice crystal armor on their bodies gradually solidified, and some of the larger water spirits wielded unique weapons such as halberds, scythes, longswords, and shields.
The most powerful of them all grew to a height of nearly ten meters.

Its crown was tinged with a faint icy blue, and a long whip resembling flowing water appeared in its hand.

Immediately afterwards, the aura of the fundamental law of water descended with a roar, and a mark shaped like an ice crystal wave quietly appeared between its brows.
In the dark abyss, countless little demons that were jumping around have undergone obvious evolution.

The flame imps' bodies blazed into crimson armor, the vine imps' tentacles transformed into chains of law, and the rock imps grew larger and larger, their bodies covered in solid rock plates.
One by one, the lesser demons devoured the rich primal energy within the secret realm, their auras constantly rising, and soon, lesser demons at the realm lord level were born.
Within the endless fiery domain, the bodies of the fiery apes flickered with light and shadow.

There were tens of thousands of fire monkeys, and the flames on their bodies gradually changed into various different colors.

Blazing golden flames, chilling blue flames, and raging purple flames
Each of the fire apes exuded a distinct aura.

Soon after, the aura of the fundamental law of fire also descended...

Compared to these places, the commotion in the direction of the mysterious misty ocean is much greater!
boom!
The massive black ancient whale, with a body spanning millions of kilometers, soared into the air, surrounded by endless blue air currents, allowing its enormous body to roam freely through the entire sea of ​​mist.

It opened its enormous mouth and swallowed the mist, revealing mysterious, wavy patterns on its scales.

"Moo!"

A long, earth-shaking cry—

With this long chant, it was as if some invisible shackle had been broken.

boom!
The Law of Wind descended upon the ocean, appearing directly above the entire Illusionary Mist Sea.

"Boom~~~"

In the void, endless divine power and seawater poured down, filling the world.

A black ancient whale, with a body length of a million kilometers, floated in the foggy sea, directly absorbing endless divine power and undergoing its most fundamental transformation.

An incomparably powerful and vast aura rose up and spread wildly in all directions...

……

In the Enlightenment Space of the Strange Fate Tower.

Qi Yuan, who sensed all of this through the power of the Realm of Truth and Illusion, revealed a faint smile. His tone remained unchanged, but the content of his narration gradually became more and more profound.

"Space and time are one and inseparable. Space is frozen time, and time is flowing space."

"The shadows of the past settle into space, and the thoughts of the future collapse into time."

"The ultimate pursuit of space and time is 'no distance, no gap'."

As his narration became increasingly profound, the disciples and human cosmic overlords sitting cross-legged before him became more and more focused.

The magnificent sound echoed throughout the space, like the resounding voice of the Great Dao.

The invisible power of 'preaching' is quietly at work.

At the same time, Qi Yuan used the power of the Realm of Truth and Illusion to pull all his disciples and all the universe overlords into a special world that exists between reality and illusion.

The energy of the true and false realms converged, beginning to reflect the operating state of the universe's origin, presenting it directly to everyone.

Mysterious, endlessly mysterious!

It's like in that primordial universe, because the entire miniature universe hadn't fully evolved, causing the rules of the endless universe to manifest, becoming one of the three treasures of Chaos City that can help cultivators comprehend the laws more easily.

Today, the Realm of Truth and Illusion directly reflects and simulates the operating state of the entire universe's origin. However, this simulation can only be considered as capturing the 'form' of the original universe's operating rules, and cannot yet reflect its 'spirit'.

However, this level of presentation is enough for these disciples, who are at the highest level of the Universe Venerable realm, to observe and comprehend.

Qi Yuan's insightful explanations, the assistance of the 'preaching' function, and the vague presentation of the universe's operating rules by the Realm of Truth and Illusion
With the support of various powers, the disciples and the human universe overlords began to enter a state of soaring enlightenment.

"boom!"

The fundamental laws of space descended upon the ocean, a five-colored vortex swirled, and surging divine power poured down!

Su Ai, a disciple born of intelligent life and carrying Qi Yuan's great expectations, successfully comprehended the entire spatial law and broke through to the realm of the Universe Venerable on this day, less than 20,000 years after she began cultivating!
Of course, this less than 20,000 years refers to the original universe time. If the cultivation time in the time acceleration zone of the Azure Palace is included, it will be far more than this number.

Although the True Void Realm is a world with its own independent operating rules, Qi Yuan also keeps it subtly connected to the original universe at all times, so it naturally does not prevent the arrival of the Ocean of Laws.

Furthermore, with a thought from Qi Yuan, Su Ai's figure instantly fell back into reality from the realm of truth and illusion, allowing her to focus on receiving the divine power without worrying about affecting others.

Rumble~~~
The colorful vortex spun, and the divine power of the seawater poured out wildly, its momentum no less than that of the Taixu Ancient Whale's breakthrough.

Su Ai's breakthrough was completed very quickly, and an extremely powerful aura burst forth from her body.

"teacher."

Su Ai bowed silently to Qi Yuan, then sat quietly to the side and continued to listen to the sermon.

time lapse
5 days. 10 days. 15 days. 20 days.
The preaching continued.

Rumble~~~
The ocean of laws has descended once more!

Shortly after disciple Su Ai broke through, another disciple, the second disciple 'Liao Li', who had fought and trained in the Ninth Star Domain prison for over 100,000 years, also successfully broke through and achieved the position of Time Venerable!
Qi Yuan has as many as five personal disciples at the level of Cosmic Venerable!

The sermon continued
25 days. 28 days. 29 days. 30 days.
Soon, Qi Yuan's sermon had lasted for a full month.

And one month is exactly the longest duration that the system's 'sermon' function can last for each time.

"The duration of these sermons has reached its limit, yet none of these cosmic overlords have broken through it. It seems..."

Qi Yuan was sighing inwardly.

However, at that moment, an incomparably powerful aura, far surpassing the breakthroughs of the Taixu Ancient Whale and its two disciples, instantly spread out.

"boom!!!"

The primordial laws of the universe descended directly!

That boundless pressure instantly enveloped the entire secret realm.

Above the Qiyuan Tower, an enormous vortex appeared in the sky. The black and white vortex was a vast and endless expanse of interwoven black and white vortex, carrying boundless power.

A colossal vortex, exceeding a hundred billion kilometers in diameter, exudes overwhelming pressure. At the center of this massive vortex lies a passage—a passage connecting to the 'Ocean of Cosmic Laws'.

At this moment, the passage was completed, and endless divine power and seawater poured in like a collapsing celestial river!

Under the endless divine power of the seawater, a heroic man with long reddish-brown hair, crystal-clear skin, and black eyes, whose appearance was extremely similar to that of a human on Earth except for a vertical line between his eyebrows, revealed a satisfied smile on his face.

Qi Yuan smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.

"It's a celestial eclipse, haha, not bad, not bad, finally a breakthrough!"
