Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 229 Nine Domains Alliance
With the Ghost King's clone making a move, it was no surprise that both immortal gods were killed.

After subduing the two races, they used them as cannon fodder to successively defeat dozens of smaller tribes, making them a formidable force within the Giant Stone Realm.

At this moment, the Ghost King's clone revealed his thoughts.

"Elder, I intend to lead our clan to join the Nine Domains Alliance. Only by joining the alliance can we gain protection and lasting stability."

After the last incident, Jin Yansen was almost completely obedient to Jin Yanming, the genius of his clan. He nodded and said, "Joining the Nine Domains Alliance is definitely a good thing, but the alliance may not be interested in our Jin Yan clan's current strength."

“That’s easy… When I was training outside, I acquired a valuable ore. I can present it as a gift, and with our Jin Yan clan’s current territory, joining the alliance shouldn’t be a problem.” Jin Yanming was already prepared.

"In that case, your treasure is gone." Jin Yansen felt a little regretful.

Their own genius was a Realm Lord General when he was a Realm Lord, and after breaking through, he was directly granted the title of Marquis not long after. His current strength is enough to protect the Golden Rock Clan and ensure their long-term stability.

Whether or not you join the alliance doesn't really matter.

After all, the Giant Stone Realm is just an ordinary realm, with nothing particularly coveted by others.

They only occupy a small portion of the Stone Realm.

"It's alright. All treasures are external things. One's own strength is the most important. After joining the alliance, I have hope of advancing further, and my clan will also receive protection. As long as my strength improves, I will have the opportunity to obtain any kind of treasure in the future."

Jin Yanming shook his head and continued.

"I urge the Grand Elder to organize the territory we've conquered these past few days and try to make the data look as good as possible. I will submit the application to the Alliance as soon as possible..."

……

The Ghost King's clone had been cultivating the identity of Jin Yanming for a long time.

Jin Yanming was originally a genius of the Jin Yan clan, who had entered the realm of laws at the cosmic level. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and was seriously injured and on the verge of death in a dangerous place in the universe. The Ghost King's clone did not save him, but instead searched his memories before he died and disguised himself as the other party.

After that, Jin Yanming, who was already a genius, became even more of a genius and quickly broke through to the Realm Lord level.

In the end, he became a world-class general and was able to escape from the hands of immortal gods. Before the Ghost King's avatar left, Jin Yanming used the excuse of going out to train and break through to immortality to leave the Jin Yan clan.

Over the years, most of the traces left by Jin Yanming in the Jin Yan clan were actually left by the Ghost King's clones, so there was no problem of exposure.

Moreover, given the Ghost King's disguise techniques, unless a Universe Venerable personally infiltrates his body with their spiritual power to observe him, it would be impossible for him to detect his disguise.

That's why he was so confident and planned to lead his clan to join the Nine Realms Alliance.

As for why they insisted on joining the Nine Domains Alliance?
It wasn't about finding a powerful backer; rather, the Ghost King's clone learned at a trade fair that within the Nine Domains Alliance, there was a treasure called the Blood and Flesh Spirit Mushroom, which could double the genetic value of ordinary people.

This is a treasure strictly restricted by the Nine Realms Alliance; only alliance members can exchange for and purchase it.

Moreover, this stuff has many limitations; it's only effective the first time you take it, and it becomes useless after ten times the gene count. So, by joining in, there's still hope of obtaining it.

The Ghost King's clone is a special life form with 50 times the genetic potential, so this thing is naturally useless to him.

But it is very important to the original owner.

Because this thing can be given to disciples.

A mere doubling of the power is nothing, but if it were bestowed upon a second-rate genius, it would be extraordinary. Lu Qingshan himself had no idea what kind of reward he would receive.

Things that can increase gene count are extremely precious.

Within the Hongmeng Alliance, something similar exists, such as the blood of the Beast God.

However, even if Lu Qingshan could obtain this item, he could only use it himself and would be restricted from bestowing it upon his disciples.

So he needs to figure out a solution himself.

This flesh and blood spirit mushroom from the Nine Domains Alliance was his first target!
……

The Nine Domains Alliance is an extremely large racial alliance in the primordial universe. Its status may not be comparable to the Hong Alliance, but in terms of the number of powerful individuals, it can be said to be countless times that of the Hong Alliance.

Among them, there are 100,000 Venerables, 50 million Kings... and then there are Marquises and Immortal Gods, whose numbers are countless times greater than those of the Hong Alliance.

Of course, in terms of top-tier combat power, the Nine Domains Alliance is far inferior to the Hong Alliance, with only about ten Universe Lords and no strongest among them.

The Nine Realms Alliance once invited Zuoshanke to be the leader of the alliance, but Zuoshanke refused outright.

The Yan Emperor, who betrayed the human race, held a position in the Nine Domains Alliance comparable to that of the Chaos City Lord in the Hong Alliance.

Such a large alliance was naturally extremely disorganized and bloated, far less united than the Hong Alliance.

The threshold for joining the Nine Domains Alliance is, of course, very low.

After delivering a large piece of top-grade F-rank ore, the Ghost King's clone successfully brought his race, the Golden Rock Clan, into the Nine Domains Alliance. They became a small race under the alliance, receiving its protection but also needing to contribute a certain amount of their clan's revenue.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Silent Night King."

In a grand hall, Jin Yanming respectfully bowed to a large man dressed in a black robe and presented him with another world ring.

It contains some ordinary resources, but the quantity is considerable, which shows sincerity and prevents others from coveting them.

King Silent Night accepted the World Ring and chuckled, saying, "Jin Yanming, there's no need to be so polite. Bringing a genius like you into the alliance is also a contribution to me. After joining the alliance, your growth will be faster, and perhaps it won't be long before you catch up with me." "You flatter me, my lord. After breaking through to the Immortal God realm, I feel that my progress has been extremely slow. I'm afraid that becoming a Marquis is my limit. I dare not compare myself to King Silent Night."

Jin Yanming was very humble.

"By joining the alliance, as the leader of your clan, you can now enter our City of Glory in the Nine Realms and take a look... As long as you have contribution points, you can acquire many precious secret techniques and treasures..."

"It's an adult."

Jin Yanming bowed before slowly leaving.

After returning to their race.

The Ghost King's clone took out an arm guard-like object and put it on. Once bound, he could enter the City of Glory in the Nine Realms.

Compared to the virtual universe of humans, the virtual technology of other races is far inferior. Even the Nine Realms Alliance, a vast alliance of races in the original universe, can only provide very few opportunities to enter the virtual world.

"Enter."

"call out!"

Nearly half of the Ghost King's consciousness was absorbed into it, and it appeared above an ancient city.

"Is this the City of Glory of the Nine Domains Alliance? The difference between it and the Hongmeng Plane is enormous."

The Nine Domains Alliance has countless times more powerful members than the Hong Alliance, yet the City of Glory is far less bustling than the Hong Alliance's.

Due to technical limitations, the City of Glory in the Nine Realms cannot offer the same level of convenience as the Hongmeng.

Those who come to the City of Glory in the Nine Realms are basically there for some reason.

The streets were sparsely populated, and the people there were all quite eccentric. Everyone was in a hurry, and when they encountered other people, they would just walk past without saying a word.

Having joined the Nine Realms Alliance, the Ghost King's clone also obtained some information about the City of Glory of the Nine Realms. He went straight to the largest ancient castle.

Approaching a staff member, the Ghost King's clone spoke.

"Hello, I would like to ask how to exchange for the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma?"

"This is information about the flesh and blood Ganoderma lucidum. Take a look for yourself."

The staff member threw a stack of documents over.

The Ghost King's clone didn't mind. He knew these people were all connected to him, and since he didn't have high authority, he naturally wouldn't receive good service from them.

The Ghost King's clone quietly began to observe.

"So it turns out there's a connection between this flesh and blood Ganoderma and the innate beast god."

Looking at the information about the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma from the Nine Domains Alliance, the Ghost King's clone was somewhat surprised.

It seems this Beast God truly lives up to its reputation as a walking treasure trove. No wonder it was besieged by countless powerful figures the moment it appeared.

The Blood and Flesh Lingzhi, formerly known as the Blood Lingzhi, is a special treasure from a secret realm within the Nine Domains Alliance territory.

The Blood Spirit Mushroom's effects were far less significant than they are now. However, one day, a Beast God perished there, and his blood fused with the Blood Spirit Mushroom, causing a mutation... which ultimately led to the creation of the unique treasure, the Blood Flesh Spirit Mushroom.

As for the race that originally possessed the Blood Spirit Mushroom, it quickly disappeared. This Blood and Flesh Spirit Mushroom became the territory of a race with a Universe Lord within the Nine Domains Alliance.

Every hundred eras, the races under the command of this cosmic lord would place some flesh and blood spirit mushrooms for sale in the City of Glory.

After all, this thing is useless to those above the Venerable level, but it can be considered a rare treasure to those below the Venerable level.

The gene boost is doubled. If the gene boost is only one, it will become three times after using the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma. The base strength will directly increase by two times, and it is no exaggeration to say that the strength will double.

In the beginning, every time the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma appeared, it would attract many people to fight for it. However, as countless years have passed, the price of the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma has continued to rise, and now it has reached a point where even some kings may not be able to afford it with all their assets.

"The Blood and Flesh Ganoderma requires 50 billion contribution points to exchange..."

50 billion contribution points, calculated in mixed units, is approximately 50 billion mixed units.

Let alone these impoverished alien races, even human kings rarely have so much cash to spare.

For powerful figures who have been granted the title of King, weapons, equipment, clans, and territories are things that cannot be sold.

“50 billion contribution points is a lot, but it’s not that I can’t get them, it’s just that the risk is too great.”

The Nine Realms Alliance is not comparable to the Hong Alliance.

Chaos, fighting, murder and looting are all common occurrences.

Just think that Emperor Yan was the ruler of the Nine Domains Alliance, and you'll know what it means when the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked too.

If he were to put out that many resources...

It seems unlikely that he will ever be able to return to the Jin Yan clan.
