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

Chapter 49 Lingyu's Ambition!
For the next few years, Lu Qingshan devoted 99% of his time to understanding and comprehending the star chart.

He hasn't been to Lingyu's place even once since.

Despite such a negative teaching attitude, no one complained.

Even Bai Mei, who was also a mentor, was grateful to Lu Qingshan for giving him more teaching time.

All of this was predicated on Lu Qingshan completing his teaching duties ahead of schedule.

If someone finishes the task ahead of time, not only should we not offer extra rewards, but we're also expected to criticize them for not being attentive in their teaching?
Therefore, Lu Qingshan can remain in the Qianwu Secret Realm. His identity as Lingyu's mentor will be retained for more than ten years, after Lingyu participates in the Genius Battle and joins the Virtual Universe Company.

As for what Lu Qingshan will do at that time, whether he stays in the Qianwu Secret Realm or returns to the Qianwu Dojo, it will depend on the attitude of the three immortal managers, including Yinyue Hou!

"Five years have passed so quickly!"

During those five years, Lu Qingshan didn't even leave his home once.

Even the precious once-a-year rebate, Lu Qingshan didn't make special preparations for, but instead exchanged it for insights into the Law of Lightning.

In other words, the progress that Lingyu, Leiming, and Paris have made in the field of lightning or the laws over the past few years has been used by Lu Qingshan as a rebate on himself.

"Nasus, open my panel."

"It's the master."

A panel slowly appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.

Name: Lu Qingshan

[Realm: Peak of the Ninth Rank of Domain Lord]

[Laws: Lightning Law 13%, Light Law 1.3%, Time Law 0.25%]

The following are sub-panels.

Below Lu Qingshan's main panel are the sub-panels for his three disciples.

However, their cultivation level and comprehension of the laws have remained at the level of five years ago, requiring Lu Qingshan to personally confirm and manually update them.

Over the past five years, he has made good progress. Although the fundamental law of time is too difficult, Lu Qingshan can comprehend the nine stars at any time. He still managed to thoroughly understand the first star and created a sword technique.

A fleeting moment!

This is a sword technique created by Lu Qingshan, centered on the essence of time, used to record the fundamental laws of the first star he mastered.

The epiphyllum blooms for a fleeting moment.

It represents the ultimate speed!

This sword technique can increase the speed of sword swings by a thousand times, ten thousand times...

In battle, slay the enemy with a single, decisive strike!
Having created this technique, Lu Qingshan knew what it meant: it meant that he had taken the first step steadily on the path of analyzing the fundamental laws of time.

Of the 108 fundamental laws of time, Lu Qingshan spent five years mastering the simplest one.

The fact that he was able to achieve this in just five years is definitely not due to his outstanding talent, but rather to the effect of being able to view the star chart without restriction, as long as the soul can withstand it.

That star map was no less than a priceless treasure to him.

Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, knowing that this thing must not be exposed under any circumstances. In fact, before he had absolute strength, he should not tell anyone about the fourth level of Lightning Flash.

It's possible that some powerful being who is well-versed in the fundamental laws of time might be able to deduce something from this movement technique that he himself cannot discover.

When it comes to the unknown, you can never be too cautious; it's a life-saving skill.

His ability to rise from a slave to a giant axe warrior, and then to the emperor who founded an empire, is inseparable from Lu Qingshan's cautiousness and prudence.

"The third level of 'Lightning Flash' is no longer difficult for me."

With Lu Qingshan's current perspective, he could naturally see the changes in the third level of Thunder Flash. In the third level, the fundamental laws of time were used very little, and even those were unrelated to the essence of the laws; they were merely simple applications. Only the fourth level of Thunder Flash truly touched upon that path to heaven.

"I wonder how Lingyu's cultivation has been these past few years? Has he grasped the basics of the Time Law?"

Lu Qingshan stood up and looked at the huge manor at the foot of Fenglei Mountain, where Lingyu cultivated.

……

"Your Highness Lingyu!"

In the training grounds of the manor, White Eyebrows raised his voice slightly: "You need to change your training plan."

"Teacher Bai Mei, would you allow me to temporarily set aside my movement techniques?"

Lingyu's voice had a somewhat cold quality to it.

"Your Highness!" Bai Mei said earnestly, "Your Highness's movement technique has truly reached a point where it cannot be improved any further. Not to mention stellar geniuses, even cosmic-level geniuses, or even some domain lord-level geniuses, cannot compare to you in terms of movement technique!"

"That arena competition isn't an infinite space. Movement techniques can only protect yourself, not kill enemies and win. If Your Highness's movement techniques were on the surface of a planet, even the geniuses of the Primal Secret Realm in previous years wouldn't be able to defeat Your Highness. That competition is on an arena, an arena that is gradually shrinking!"

"Your Highness can only defeat your opponent while remaining invincible by upgrading the Wind and Thunder Sword and fully mastering the second level of the Wind and Thunder Sword. Otherwise, once the arena shrinks to the point where movement techniques become ineffective, Your Highness will likely be killed immediately!"

Bai Mei had no idea what kind of medicine the tutor named Lu Qingshan had secretly given His Highness, which made His Highness so obsessed with the movement technique he had created that His Highness had even neglected other aspects of his cultivation.

He had to admit that the prince's movement technique was indeed impressive. In just five years, the prince's movement technique had reached a level that even he found astonishing.

If the goal is not the competition.

He would never say much, after all, movement techniques also have the function of saving one's life, and only a living genius is a true genius!

"Teacher Bai Mei, what goals has Teacher Yin Yuehou set for me?"

Lingyu suddenly spoke up and asked.

Bai Mei was taken aback: "Within the top one thousand in the entire universe, you will enter the core secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company."

"So, with my current abilities, can I achieve this goal?" she continued.

"It should be... not a big problem, but..." Bai Mei was momentarily speechless. Indeed, even if one specializes in movement techniques, as long as there are no major accidents, being in the top one thousand should not be a problem for Prince Ling Yu.

"So, what difference does it make to me whether it's one thousand, eight hundred, five hundred, or even two hundred?"

Lingyu sighed.

"But they're all just the lowest-tier post-apocalyptic secret realms..."

"?? The lowest-tier post-apocalyptic secret realm, what kind of talk is that..." White Eyebrows was speechless. That was the core secret realm of one of the five giants in the entire universe, a powerful force far surpassing their Qianwu Universe Kingdom! So what if it's post-apocalyptic?!

Is Your Highness's goal not the apocalyptic secret realm?
Bai Mei was shocked and had this incredible thought. If it wasn't the Doomsday Secret Realm, even if it was the next level of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, it would require the top 100 in the entire universe to have a chance!
Lingyu continued, "Does Teacher think Lingyu is a bit arrogant, just because he has a slightly better movement technique than others? No... if Lingyu can master the Law of Time, all of this will no longer be a pipe dream!"

"Boom boom..." Ling Yu's gentle voice sounded like a thunderclap in Bai Mei's ears.

Time... the laws of time...

Even a realm lord who has gained recognition from the fundamental laws of wind and lived for millions of years dares not dream of ascending to the laws of time.

To him, it was poison...

If he were to be contaminated even slightly, causing the slightest disturbance to his wind-elemental laws, he would completely lose his chance to break through to immortality!
And Your Highness Lingyu.

Such lofty ambitions!

Is she relying on that secret technique?

Without hesitation, Bai Mei immersed his consciousness in the virtual universe and immediately reported the news to Marquis Yin Yue!
