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

Chapter 66 Soul Secret Techniques, Reincarnation Illusion

Peace is never something that can be obtained through charity!
Having experienced 90,000 years of ups and downs, and with the experience of his previous life, Lu Qingshan understood this principle very well.

When someone says you're oppressing them, you'd better actually be oppressing them!
When someone tells you you have weapons of mass destruction, you'd better actually have them.

Otherwise, you'll definitely suffer a terrible fate!

Stopping himself from thinking about it, Lu Qingshan began to examine his spoils...

[You have bestowed upon your disciple the soul-binding secret technique "Eye of Nothingness," and received a thousandfold return. You have also obtained the secret technique "Soul Analysis - Volume 1."]

Soul analysis?

Last time he obtained a fragmented analysis of the secret technique Heavenly Thunder, but this time it's a soul analysis, and it seems to be the complete first volume.

It seems that the cashback of a thousand times and a hundred times are not even in the same league.

Soul Analysis

Just looking at the name, it must be quite extraordinary.

In the world of Swallowed Star, there's a convention: the simpler the name of a secret technique, the more powerful it is likely to be.

For example, "Essays on Time and Space"

For example, "Time Overview"

These names, which resemble those found in junior high school textbooks, are ridiculously valuable, to the point that even the most invincible kings couldn't afford them.

Lu Qingshan received the messages; the massive flow of information was almost unbearable even for his soul, a powerful domain lord.

The first volume alone, "Soul Analysis," contains 3172 soul-related secret techniques...

Soul

The secret art of enslavement.

One can enslave a life by relying on the power of the mind and soul, with very little consumption of soul power. Ordinary soul enslavement techniques, such as Huyan Bo's soul imprint, can enslave ten lives, and this mind and soul can enslave twenty, generally doubling the number.

Thousand Threads of Soul Refinement

Cultivation can strengthen the soul and temper the will. Lu Qingshan examined it carefully and found that this Thousand Threads Soul Refining technique could actually immerse a person in a series of illusions during cultivation, allowing them to spend their entire life in these virtual worlds, condensing their soul and tempering their will within these illusions!

The Temple of Souls

The Soul Defense Secret Technique constructs a void Soul Palace within the soul. To attack with the soul, one must first breach the palace's defenses! A highly skilled cultivator of the Soul Palace will find it incredibly sturdy, comparable to a powerful treasure, capable of driving even illusion masters to despair!
"Soul-Shaking Technique" and "Soul-Destroying Technique" are two secret attack techniques that can only be used after cultivating the Thousand Threads Soul Refining to strengthen the soul and will... Relying on soul attacks, they are unpredictable... but the risks are not low.

After reviewing all the messages, half a month had passed, and Lu Qingshan wore a happy expression.

This was a huge success.

Even if he breaks through to the Immortal Realm in the future, he will never lack the cultivation of soul secret techniques.

However, the risks of cultivating this soul technique are not low. Although my inherited techniques are complete, I still need to be careful. Before cultivating other soul techniques, I should try this Thousand Threads Soul Refining first.

This is the foundation of all arcane arts; only a powerful soul and will can easily unleash other arcane arts.

"Nasus, set a ten-day timer for me. Wake me up no matter what after ten days!"

Lu Qingshan still took some precautions.

Although the Thousand Threads Soul Refining Cultivation Method is not considered too dangerous according to the introduction, a very small number of people with weak willpower will become addicted to the endless cycle of illusions and reincarnations. Even if they eventually awaken, it will be after countless years, and their physical body may even perish before their soul...

"Thousand Threads Refining the Soul..."

Lu Qingshan constructed a cycle of reincarnation using secret methods, where everything was determined by the mind...

The heart is for the world.

A luxurious conference room.

On the demonstration platform, a bespectacled, refined-looking man was explaining something to the large screen.

"Warmest congratulations to Tengke Company on the outstanding achievements of its cultural and entertainment project." "This year, we developed a total of 136 IPs. Among them, 106 are film and television adaptations, 20 are animation adaptations, and 10 are game adaptations..."

"Most of these projects have achieved very good results. There are 13 projects adapted into film, television and animation with more than 10 billion views, and 7 IPs that have been in the top ten of online platform viewership for many years."

"The large-scale entertainment project generated 227 billion yuan in profit in one year, and indirectly increased the estimated value of the company's other IPs by 189 billion yuan."

……

"Next, let's give a warm welcome to Mr. Yang Yunyun, the biggest contributor to our big entertainment project, to the stage to speak. In addition, Mr. Yang Yunyun will be promoted to the position of the general manager of the big entertainment project and the vice president of Tengke Films."

Yang Yunyun took the stage in high spirits and began to recount her glorious history.

And offstage.

Lu Qingshan, however, had an expression of utter disbelief on his face.

"Why?! This major entertainment project was proposed by me at the headquarters meeting last year. I've poured my heart and soul into it this past year, traveling everywhere without a single day off. I personally signed and led the signing of most of these 136 projects. Yet why is he credited as the biggest contributor?!"

"Why is it that even my name isn't mentioned at this celebration party?"

"Didn't we agree that I would be in charge of this major entertainment project?"

……

"Lu Qingshan, you're just a country bumpkin from a small town who got into a prestigious university by sheer luck. You think you can compete with me for a place? What a joke... I can make sure you, a lowly commoner, have no chance of ever turning your life around with just one word."

"You dare to expose this online... Haha, looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences!"

"Get out of here, you stray dog... After leaving Tengke, there will be no place for you in the country!"

……

In the cycle of illusion, Lu Qingshan chooses to step out of the country and join a world-renowned giant company.

Ten years later, he returned and acquired Tenke, a company that had been hollowed out by management corruption.

Yang Yunyun, who had previously trampled on his dignity, was imprisoned and looked full of remorse when the verdict was announced.

"Heh... This is the reincarnation illusion constructed by the Thousand Threads Soul Refining technique? It's too fake. A small person's revenge? That's just a story that exists in novels... It's for fooling idiots!!"

Come again! !
For twenty years since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, the country has enjoyed peace and prosperity.

Crown Prince Lu Qingshan is ignorant of political affairs and obsessed with martial arts... The Emperor of Daqian dislikes the Crown Prince and plans to choose another heir.

Throughout the Great Qian Dynasty, a fierce struggle for the throne among nine princes unfolded! The drama was incredibly intense, yet the Crown Prince remained in the palace, cultivating day and night!
The 26th year of the founding of the Daqian Dynasty.

The Crown Prince's Palace, the back garden.

Lu Qingshan turned and left. The rock that he had just struck with his palm shattered a few steps away!
In the twenty-seventh year of the Daqian reign, the emperor fell seriously ill and died seven days later.

The crown prince ascended the throne, and the struggle for succession among the nine princes became a laughing stock!
……

Later records state that Emperor Taizong of the Great Qian Dynasty was obsessed with martial arts in his early years and was not good at politics. After Emperor Gaozu of the Great Qian Dynasty passed away, Taizong ascended the throne. Emperor Taizong personally led the army to destroy the Xiongnu, pacify the Western Xia, and terrify Annam. The surrounding small countries were terrified and came to pay tribute to the Great Qian Dynasty, regarding it as the Celestial Empire.

……

"Heh, in a dynasty world without martial arts, to create a martial arts cultivation method and even reach the Transformation Realm is just bullying people, isn't it? No wonder the old emperor died so quickly, no wonder the barbarians on all sides submitted to him!"
It's all just an illusion after all!

Consciousness slowly returned to reality.

How long has Nasus been gone?

"Master, it's almost the tenth day, and I'm just about to wake you up!"

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"This Thousand Threads Soul Refining technique is indeed low-risk, but it has a very good effect on training the soul and will. I can even feel that the speed of soul transformation has increased a lot."

"If I continue to cultivate the Thousand Threads Soul Refinement, it won't take ten years. In about six years, my soul will be able to transform, and there will be no obstacle to breaking through to the World Lord realm!"
