Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 264 The Human Race's Quiet Development: The Chaos City Lord's Breakthrough
The Cosmic Boat Flame Ice Domain, one of the three forbidden zones of the Cosmic Sea.

A colossal tomb-like vessel floated in mid-air between the black swamp and the endless lava sky of the Flame Ice Domain.

Inside the Tomb Ship, in the various basic inheritance spaces.

The candidates vying for the inheritance of Duan Donghe from all sides of the primordial universe and the cosmic sea were all deeply engrossed in the second trial set up by 'Lord Duan Donghe'.

The first test of passing on the Duan Donghe legacy is to meet certain requirements in solving the "Rhinoceros Emperor Formation".

The second test is to create a secret technique at the level of the strongest in the universe, based on the reference and inheritance provided by Duan Donghe!

The first to meet the requirements will inherit the entire lineage of the Duan Dong River.

All other candidates, however, faced certain death!
Therefore, whether for survival or for the sake of their people, each candidate unleashed tremendous motivation, immersing themselves in the research with fervor.

However, no matter how crazy or hard-working they are, only one inheritor is destined to survive in the end.
At a certain moment, while all the candidates were completely absorbed in the parts of the inheritance they had received, an invisible force suddenly descended from a star in the sky and landed directly on each candidate.

"No!"

"No, it should be me! I should be the one to succeed!!!"

"This is--"

"Ah, I'm not reconciled! No!"

The candidates froze instantly, as if in a trance.

Their souls have long since vanished, leaving only their divine bodies.

Even some of the candidates' clones in other small universes or primordial universes collapsed at the same time.

When the successor is born, all others perish!
And the final winner, just like in the original story, naturally went to Luo Feng.
The sudden fall of all the candidates shook the entire cosmic sea!

The lineage of Duan Donghe is something that nearly a hundred forces in the entire universe sea desperately desire, as it represents an opportunity and method for them to transcend reincarnation.

"Who, who got it?"

"Is it human or the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land?"

"Which side actually received the inheritance?"

All the major powers in the universe were anxious and puzzled, but even the Purple Moon Holy Land was unaware of the situation.

Only the Eastern Emperor Holy Land has a bit of confidence, because only two people performed the best in this inheritance process: one is the Azure Blood Venerable of their Eastern Emperor Holy Land, and the other is the Galaxy Lord of the Primordial Universe Human Race!

Now that the Eastern Emperor Holy Land knows that their Azure Blood Venerable has fallen, the one who will ultimately inherit the legacy is 99% likely to be that human Galaxy Lord!

Compared to the various forces in the Cosmic Sea, the various factions in the Primordial Universe are just as concerned about the ultimate ownership of the Broken East River's legacy!

Especially the three major races bordering human territory—the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race—are like ants on a hot pan, anxiously watching the final outcome.

"The best performers in the first stage were human Luo Feng and the Azure Blood Venerable from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land. The inheritance guidance they received in the second stage was also more detailed, and their probability of passing the test in the end was the greatest!"

"It's almost certain that it's either the human Luo Feng or that Azure Blood Venerable!"

"Who is it? Who on earth is it?"

"The Eastern Emperor Holy Land is already powerful, so even if it gains another inheritance, it won't affect us much. But if it's humans... Our race and humans are currently in the same primitive universe era, and we have territorial disputes. If the humans gain the inheritance, it will be a disaster for our race!"

"Please, please don't let it be that human."

All the major powers in the Cosmic Sea, as well as the various races and alliances in the Primordial Universe, are anxiously watching.

However, since the Eastern Emperor Holy Land did not actively publicize it, and Luo Feng did not make a public appearance, all forces were anxious but could not make a clear judgment for the time being.

Under the watchful eyes of countless competitors, Luo Feng, who finally defeated one competitor after another and successfully obtained the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage, sent an email to the founder of the Human Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City to inform them of the final result. After that, he immersed himself in receiving and sorting out the entire inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage.

While the outside world was in a state of anxiety, Luo Feng remained calm and composed aboard the tomb-like vessel.

Meanwhile, the human race was still in a state of vigorous development, quietly and diligently pursuing progress.

In particular, among the ancient and powerful members of the human race, over the past 20,000 years, apart from a number of the highest-ranking members of the human race, almost all the most core immortals and cosmic venerables have successively received the ancient civilization inheritance bestowed by Qi Yuan.

These ancient powerhouses were naturally completely absorbed in studying the ancient civilization heritage they had just acquired.

Under the powerful guidance of this legacy, the true elites of these human races, accumulated over billions of years, began to enter a phase of rapid advancement!

In less than 20,000 years, more than ten new Cosmic Sovereigns have been born in the human race!
Meanwhile, the Star Prison Demon Lord, the Ancestral Tree Venerable, and several other ancient cosmic overlords have vaguely sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough and have begun to cultivate in seclusion, launching a final sprint towards the realm of the cosmic master!

This improvement is truly astonishing!
The later the cultivation process progresses, the more difficult it becomes.

To comprehend the entire law of time or the law of space and become a supreme being of the universe—how difficult that is!

To fully comprehend the laws of spacetime and truly master a region of spacetime is even more difficult! Under normal circumstances, the human race might not see a new cosmic sovereign born even after tens of millions of epochs.

As for the Lord of the Universe, there might not be one in hundreds of billions of epochs!
Now, in less than 20,000 years, more than ten Universe Venerables have been born, and several Universe Overlords have sensed the opportunity to break through to the next realm. Such an exaggerated improvement is truly astonishing!
The reason for such an amazing burst of development is naturally inseparable from the ancient civilization inheritance provided by Qi Yuan!

Unlike the Duan Donghe lineage inheritance that Luo Feng obtained in the original novel, the Duan Donghe lineage inheritance is passed down only to one person. Apart from some ordinary inheritances that are collected at will, the true core inheritance is strictly forbidden to be passed on to outsiders.

However, the Ten Directions Sect inheritance in Qi Yuan's possession does not have this restriction.

Aside from the parts that exceed the limits of the strongest beings in the universe and cannot be taught due to the restrictions of the supreme rules, he can freely teach everything else, even the most precious core inheritances of the three main lineages: 'arrays', 'weapon crafting', and 'mechanics'!
He passed on one of the three core inheritances of the Ten Directions Sect, the "Qi Ancient Mechanical Flow," to his disciple Su Ai, who was born into an intelligent life form.

The most precious technique, the "Twelve Yuan Chen Formation," was passed down by him to a group of his personal disciples, represented by his fourth disciple Mireya, who followed the secret rune path.

The "Absolutely No Weapon Technique" was passed down to the dwarf disciple 'Flodis'.

Other disciples such as Cang Fan, Liao Li, and Long Ji, as well as some of the most trusted core elites of the human race.
For example, the group of immortal grandmasters who had been granted the title of king, such as the "King Juekun" and the "Sword King" that Qi Yuan knew before, as well as some cosmic venerables who were either close to him or truly trustworthy, such as Venerable Lan Hong and Lord Lan Ting, all received some of the "top inheritance" of the Ten Directions Sect from Qi Yuan!
These inheritances are extremely precious even among the inheritances of many ancient civilizations, and are naturally much stronger than the ordinary inheritances of the Duan Donghe lineage that Luo Feng was able to publicly impart in the original work.

The more profound and exquisite inheritance, coupled with Qi Yuan's large-scale 'preaching' during this period, combined with the combined efforts of various factors, led to such astonishing achievements!
Many powerful members of the human race have made tremendous progress, and Qi Yuan, as the driving force and beneficiary of all these changes, has gained more than he could have imagined!

The core inheritances of the three main branches of the Ten Directions Sect were already considered the pinnacle achievements in their respective fields in ancient civilizations.

After being passed on to disciples, the rewards of thousands of times the critical hit bonus further boosted the level of these inheritances, truly reaching the 'ultimate' level in their respective fields!
For example, the mechanical school can normally only create machines used by eternal true gods at its highest level. After all, once a person reaches the level of sainthood, they control the entire law of chaos and possess boundless power. Mechanical machines can hardly bring significant improvement to such a powerful being.

In return for the "Qigu Mechanical Flow" as a gift, the "Mechanical Holy Code" contains the methods for creating and using various powerful "machines" in combat, which can greatly assist even Chaos Realm experts!

This has surpassed the original limits of the entire school, and can naturally be called 'ultimate'!
Of course, since all the Ten Directions Sect inheritances that Qi Yuan obtained were stored in the 'Evolution Platform' left by Zhu Yongzi, they were not recorded in the Memory Stone.

Qi Yuan can only impart the content that he can see, which does not exceed the limit of the strongest in the universe. Therefore, all the precious books that have been returned have reached the 'ultimate' level in terms of level, but only the 'first volume' is available. The content above the limit of the True God is temporarily missing.

It's estimated that he'll only be able to find a way to obtain the remaining 'second volume' of the inheritance once he's passed through the cycle of reincarnation.

However, in the era of the Cosmic Sea, this kind of inheritance was more than enough for him to use!

Besides the three core inheritances, other ordinary and top-level inheritances also brought Qi Yuan great benefits after being returned by the system.

Techniques such as the divine power burning technique, the will attack technique, and the flight survival technique, which were originally only considered "top-tier" in the ancient civilization's heritage, have all been upgraded to "first-class" level, comparable to the original three core heritages.

Some of the most basic and ordinary inheritances have been elevated to what can be called 'top-tier' levels.

The number of inheritances that Qi Yuan possesses has not only become more abundant, but their quality has also greatly improved!

With this vast amount of incredibly profound heritage to guide him, Qi Yuan's path to becoming a powerful figure will naturally become smoother!

Qi Yuan focused his main energy on researching and improving the divine power path, while also spending some of his energy reading and comprehending the vast amount of exquisite inheritance returned by the system.

Incredibly profound and powerful magic arrays, powerful mechanical combat techniques, secret arts of burning divine power, secret arts of willpower, various combat techniques of melee style, and methods of escape by flight.
Extensive reading, memorization, and comprehension, along with the collision and impact of various schools of thought and countless exquisite lineages of knowledge, broadened Qi Yuan's horizons considerably, and inspired a constant stream of profound insights.

With his divine power level increasing, his comprehension of laws and his mastery of secret techniques also improved simultaneously. Qi Yuan's strength was soaring at an astonishing rate that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
time flies.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years have passed since Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of the Donghe lineage.

The Tomb Ship is a cultivation space within the Inheritance Space.

"The journey of cultivation is long and arduous!"

"The unique skills created by the three generations of patriarchs are extremely difficult, and I can't stay here forever."

Luo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass, opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "And I still have to create sword techniques and so on. I clearly feel that I am too weak in terms of laws."

Rules are one of his weaknesses.

"I need to get out as soon as possible."

"Obtain the white wings as soon as possible, and then immediately begin cultivating the Golden Void Path. Break through to the Universe Master level in one fell swoop first."

Luo Feng made a decision in his heart.

"Huh? A new email?"

Although his physical body is in the cosmic sea, he also has a clone in the original universe, so he can naturally receive email messages from the virtual universe.

"Email from the founder of Giant Axe"

Luo Feng's consciousness stirred slightly, and he directly opened an email he had just received.

After just a brief glance, Luo Feng's eyes lit up with immense delight—

"Teacher, you've broken through!"
