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

Chapter 378 Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, Black Sand Sea!

[You have bestowed the secret technique "Body of Time" upon your disciple Yi Yun and received a thousandfold return; you have obtained the secret technique "Time".]

Lu Qingshan bestowed three treasures upon his disciple Yi Yun, and he chose the secret technique "The Body of Time" to return to its original state.

As for Ice Prison Dew and Time Compass.

The compass was obtained through cashback, and there's no more cashback available. He already has plenty of Ice Prison Dew, so this is just one cashback opportunity and he doesn't need to worry about it.

After the cashback.

The information about a secret technique seemed to be imprinted in Lu Qingshan's memory out of thin air, as if it belonged to him.

Time

The Secret Technique of Burning Divine Power.

It is divided into nine volumes, but Lu Qingshan currently only has the contents of the first three volumes in his memory. He can sense that the contents of the later volumes still exist, but no matter what, he cannot see the contents of the later volumes.

"This is... the influence of the primordial cosmic will!"

Lu Qingshan instantly understood the reason.

The content of the third volume of "Time" exceeds the limit that the original cosmic will can tolerate, so only the first three volumes are allowed to be viewed, and everything afterward is completely blocked by the original cosmic will.

Lu Qingshan is considered lucky... at least he can clearly view the first three volumes, and it seems he can even inherit them.

Lingxi obtained that secret culinary technique, but she could only use it herself. She could neither speak of it nor write it down, and it would inevitably be content below the limits of a true god.

Lu Qingshan examined the secret technique.

That's brilliant.

The design of the secret technique was simply ingenious, far surpassing any of the immortal ultimate secret techniques that Lu Qingshan had previously created.

Divine bodies and divine power can actually be condensed and unleashed in this way!

The Divine Power Burning Secret Technique and the Nine Tribulations Burning Life Technique that Lu Qingshan previously revived before his immortality have some similarities. Ultimately, they can be considered as a self-destruction method, a self-destruction that can be controlled. The power of a self-destruction is great, but the range is too dispersed and cannot be concentrated at one point. However, the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique can completely control this part of the power and use it as a basis to perfectly execute attack secret techniques, which can unleash power a thousand times or ten thousand times greater than itself.

In a battle between two equally matched opponents, if one side uses a divine power burning technique, the other side is lucky to escape.

Of course, such a powerful secret technique comes at a great cost; using it will cause serious damage to the divine body.

If Lu Qingshan were to use this technique in his human form, he would likely be able to drain all his divine power instantly, making it difficult to sustain.

The World Tree's clone is enormous, and its power is even greater, so it should be able to last longer, and could even be used several times in a row.

However, this is not a secret technique used under normal circumstances. Without the massive World Tree clone, the benefits gained from using this secret technique to kill the enemy might not even be enough to compensate for one's own losses.

Lu Qingshan observed for a long time and found that this secret technique was too ingenious and extremely dangerous to cultivate. He temporarily gave up the idea of ​​cultivating it and decided to wait until he returned to the Divine Kingdom and was next to the World Tree clone to cultivate it. After all, the divine power of his main body could be replenished by the World Tree clone in an instant by cultivating it an infinite number of times. Even if his main body died by accident, the World Tree clone could instantly revive him.

Setting the secret technique aside, Lu Qingshan began to examine his second acquisition.

When Lu Qingshan had just bestowed the True Yan King and Yi Yun upon them, he triggered some information from his cheat system.

The bestowal of a great treasure can only be done at the peak of the King-level, while Yi Yun, who is at the initial King-level, can be bestowed with treasures such as Ice Prison Dew, Ice Prison Star Stone, and even the Banyan Wood Divine Blade, which are pseudo-great treasures.

Although these conditions were somewhat different from what he had expected, he could understand them, since even among the peak experts who had reached the King level, only a very small number possessed such treasures.

A single treasure could enable the Purple Bell King, at the peak of the King-level realm, to kill two King-level limit cultivators, demonstrating just how powerful such a treasure is.

He is now a Universe Venerable, with a disciple like True King Yan who is invincible at the King level. There is no difference between the peak of the King level and the initial level of the King level to him, so he naturally doesn't need to care about these things.

He looked at the return of the True King.

[You have bestowed the 'Sinking Sand Hourglass' upon your disciple, True King Zhenyan, and received a thousandfold return. You have also obtained the 'Black Sand Sea'.]

"Black Sand Sea!"

Lu Qingshan looked at the arc-shaped black disc in the Golden Finger Space. With just one glance, it was as if he saw a cosmic abyss that had been extracted. Its surface emitted faint black light, and inside were billions of black grains of sand.

This treasure was too large, probably much larger than Green Mountain Residence, so Lu Qingshan did not retrieve it from Chaos City.

If it were taken out now, causing even the slightest energy leakage, it could probably destroy the entire Green Mountain Residence and a large area around it in an instant.

Without a recognized owner, Lu Qingshan was unable to learn all the information about the treasure, or even its level.

But one thing is certain: it should be at least a top-tier treasure. Judging from its imposing appearance alone, it is not even in the same league as the Sunken Rock Hourglass.

The Sunken Rock Hourglass only requires 100 Treasure Points, while this treasure definitely needs Supreme Treasure Points to measure its value.

Lu Qingshan was very satisfied with the Black Sand Sea artifact; this treasure would be more than enough for him to use for a long time.

……

Time flies.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The cosmic passage has been opened.

The Dragon Whale Venerable, clad in a long golden robe, piloted his biological spaceship into the primordial universe, instantly teleporting directly to Green Mountain Residence.

"Junior Brother Qingshan... Congratulations on your breakthrough! I came back in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts for you. Consider this Ice Prison Star Stone as my congratulatory gift!"

The Dragon Whale Venerable walked over and sat down opposite Lu Qingshan. He took out a thumb-sized Ice Prison Star Stone that emitted a faint, cold light.

Don't underestimate this small piece of Ice Prison Star Stone; it's quite valuable, comparable to a point of precious treasure.

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

Looking at the Ice Prison Star Stone, Lu Qingshan smiled faintly.

He was very familiar with this Ice Prison Star Stone. He had exchanged it with Zi Dou Koflora in exchange for the Void King's treasured hammer. Back then, when the Dragon Whale King broke through to the Universe Venerable, Lu Qingshan's Ghost King clone took it out as a congratulatory gift for the Dragon Whale King. He never expected that... it would come back to him after all this time.

He put away the Ice Prison Star Stone and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother, didn't you say a few days ago that it would arrive in a few days? Why has it been delayed for half a month?"

"Ugh!"

Venerable Dragon Whale sighed.

"There was nothing I could do. After returning this time, I first went to the Qianwu Secret Realm to see my teacher. Who knew that my teacher was going to venture into the Guixu Secret Realm? The Guixu Secret Realm is a cosmic secret realm that was only discovered thousands of years ago. It is outside our human territory and is extremely dangerous even for cosmic venerables. I tried to persuade my teacher for a long time not to go out and explore, but he simply wouldn't listen to my advice..."

"Why is the teacher in such a hurry... I'll go and try to talk to him..."

Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised.

“No need.” Venerable Dragon Whale waved his hand. “My teacher originally told me not to tell you that he had already set off when I left the Qianwu Secret Realm. However, you don’t need to worry too much. My teacher has forged a treasured armor and exchanged it for a top-tier treasured weapon. As long as you are careful, you should be able to survive.”

“Junior Brother Qingshan…you haven’t spent much time with our teacher and don’t understand his personality. Once he’s made up his mind, no amount of persuasion will work. Even when I tried to persuade him, I didn’t have much hope…Our teacher was born in the early days of humanity and is older than many of humanity’s greatest beings. He is still a high-level cosmic venerable and naturally wants to improve his strength…his previous falls can only be attributed to bad luck.”

"Teacher owes countless debts and has no great treasures or supreme treasures, so he can only stay in the Qianwu Secret Realm. Now... you and I have become Universe Venerables one after another. Teacher has no worries and has accumulated some wealth. Naturally, he wants to go out and make some progress."

Venerable Dragon Whale sighed, then changed the subject, asking, "That old bastard Zhenyan, did you really take him as your disciple?"

“That’s right… The reason we brought our senior brother back this time is to have him take the True Yan King to the Ancestral God Sect to receive the inheritance. He is only one step away from comprehending the space, and he has already entered the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God. If he receives the inheritance, he will have a certain chance to become a Universe Venerable. At that time, our Qianwu lineage will have four Universe Venerables.”

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"That kid Zhenyan is lucky. You actually have a legacy token that matches his attributes. Junior Brother Qingshan, no wonder I asked you this. How did you get so many legacy tokens?"

The Dragon Whale Venerable was very curious.

If it were anyone else, they would never ask such a rude question. However, since Venerable Dragon Whale and Lu Qingshan had a good relationship and no other intentions, Lu Qingshan naturally wouldn't mind.

"Senior brother, junior brother has had some good fortune, all of it is spoils of war." Lu Qingshan smiled ambiguously: "Junior brother doesn't have many of these inheritance tokens left, there's only one left."

"besides?"

The Dragon Whale Venerable was shocked.

Having two inheritance tokens was already outrageous enough in his eyes, but he never expected that his junior brother Qingshan would have even more.

“Indeed, but this is the last one.” Lu Qingshan flipped his hand, and a Golden Void Beast God Inheritance Token appeared in his palm. This was the last inheritance token he bestowed upon his son, Lu Lingxiao.

Looking at the familiar token, Venerable Dragon Whale was filled with envy.

"Junior brother, your luck is truly enviable! I even suspect that you are the ancestral god's own son. Why did you receive so many inheritance tokens?"

Lu Qingshan did not take back the Golden Void Inheritance Token, but asked, "The reason why Teacher insists on going out to make a name for himself is probably because he wants to pay off his debts to his old friends as soon as possible. Teacher has been under too much pressure because of these debts over the years. Can you help me ask which Universe Venerable in the Hong Alliance is willing to buy this Inheritance Token? I can trade it and pay off part of the debts that Teacher owes to other Universe Venerables first."

"Qingshan... Teacher will definitely not agree to what you're doing." Venerable Dragon Whale was ashamed. I'm the second senior brother, how can I let my junior brother help the teacher pay off his debts?
“If the teacher disagrees, just don’t let him know.” Lu Qingshan shook his head nonchalantly and continued, “You ask around for me. If someone buys it, I can give them a 5% discount from the Human Race Treasury’s price. If no one buys it, I’ll just have the Human Race Treasury take it back.”

"Yes, Junior Brother Qingshan, don't worry. I'm familiar with the Hongmeng. I'll go ask them now, and we should have news soon."

"Excuse me, senior brother."

Although one offers a 9% discount and the other a 9.5% discount, when it comes to treasures of the Treasure Point level, even a 0.1% discount is incredibly valuable. It can be exchanged for several precious treasures, so naturally, we shouldn't waste it if we can avoid it.

A few days later, Venerable Dragon Whale brought news that Venerable Golden Spear of the Hong Alliance intended to buy the Inheritance Token in his possession.

The Inheritance Token costs 1.2 Treasure Points in the Human Treasure Vault, and with a 5% discount, it becomes 1.14 Treasure Points.

If contributed to the Human Treasure Vault, it would be worth 1.08 Treasure Points.

The difference is 0.06 treasure points.

Based on the current exchange rate, with one Treasure Point equal to 3200 Heavy Treasure Points, the difference is 192 Heavy Treasure Points, enough to buy two ordinary Heavy Treasures similar to the Sinking Rock Hourglass.

"Second Senior Brother, how can I make a deal with Venerable Jin Ge? Do I need to ask you to make the trip for me?"

Lu Qingshan asked.

This Venerable Jin Ge is a Universe Venerable from a major clan in the Hong Alliance, and does not belong to the human race.

“No need for that. You can use Yu Baotang’s channels to guarantee the transaction. Just hand over the Inheritance Token to the people at Yu Baotang, and they will be responsible for delivering the goods to Venerable Jin Ge. After receiving the final payment, they will transfer the entire remaining amount to you. There’s no need to worry…” Venerable Dragon Whale explained.

"Well, let's do it."

Lu Qingshan contacted the Yu Baotang of the Hongmeng Alliance in Chaos City and handed over the Inheritance Token. A few days later, he received 1.14 Treasure Points from Yu Baotang.

Yu Baotang charges very low fees for services provided to the Universe Venerable, and there are three free opportunities per era. This time, there was no charge for helping with the transaction.

After obtaining these precious points, Lu Qingshan inquired briefly with Venerable Beiming and quickly learned about the information of several creditors of the Qianwu Kingdom.
