All Heavens: Originating from Swallowing the Stars

Virtual Universe, Qianwu Dojo, Liulan Empire Branch

Today, the Lord of Yousha Army is still meditating in the highest cultivation room of the Qianwu Dojo. However, this female immortal, whose true combat strength may have already reached the rank of Marquis, has changed into a golden robe. This robe is woven from an unknown precious metal, with faint law patterns flowing on it, making her look noble, elegant, and sacred.

"Teacher, I'm back."

Li Tuo was familiar with this outfit. After all, the Lord of Yousha Army was the head of the Qianwu Dojo in the Liulan Empire. Although he did not often show his face in public, he would still attend some important occasions on weekdays.

"Hmm, that slave trader is dead?"

Upon seeing that it was Li Tuo who had arrived, the Lord of Yousha turned around and revealed a faint and inscrutable smile.

Her fundamental law of earth is sand, lacking the steadiness and weight of ordinary earth-attribute deities, but rather a unique kind of erosion and decay, like a vast desert that is constantly expanding and eroding the vitality of all things.

"Taken him. Just a third-tier Realm Lord. Apart from a minor hiccup, everything went smoothly."

Li Tuo sat down on the ground, not mentioning the details of the battle with Pan Xi, but simply transferred 200,000 Hunyuan Units from his bank account to the You Sha Army Lord, and said with a smile,

"Possessing a treasure is a crime. It's a waste to leave such a valuable resource in that person's hands. It's better to take it and show our respect to our teacher."

Two hundred thousand Chaos Units is a very appropriate number. For a senior immortal god like the Lord of Yousha Army, whose assets start at millions of Chaos Units, it is neither too much nor too little, and it will not cause his teacher to think too much.

"Heh, it seems your reasons for killing that slave trader weren't so simple."

Upon receiving the payment, the leader of the Yousha Army looked somewhat surprised. She had speculated about Li Tuo's reasons for killing Pan Xi, and now it seemed that Li Tuo's actions matched some of her guesses.

What percentage of Li Tuo's gains were 200,000 Mixed Yuan Units? Twenty percent? Thirty percent? Or more? Or less?

The veteran immortal military lord stared at Li Tuo with a calm gaze, thinking casually to himself, but without any intention of delving deeper.

"That's good. I'll transfer 5000 Mixed Yuan Units to the Seventh Prince later. That will give him an explanation, both in terms of face and substance."

She didn't ask Li Tuo about his overall gains, partly because she didn't have such a strong desire to control him, and also because the two of them had been together for over two thousand years and had a unique bond and tacit understanding that others didn't have.

For a deity like her who is about to be ennobled, 200,000 Chaos Units, while worthy of attention, are only a small part of her assets. For such a small amount of money, she would never harbor any ill intentions towards her own disciples.

After all, in this universe that pursues individual power, the master-disciple relationship is often closer than the bloodline relationship, especially for immortal gods. A sufficiently outstanding disciple is worth spending a lot of effort and money to cultivate.

Taking the Lord of Yousha Army as an example, the amount of money she was willing to invest in Li Tuo far exceeded 200,000 Hunyuan units.

"Thank you for your help, teacher."

Li Tuo thought to himself, "The Seventh Prince only lost a subordinate at the third level of the Realm Lord, but he received 5000 Mixed Yuan Units as compensation. No matter how you look at it, that prince is definitely making a profit."

"It's nothing. The Seventh Prince has been an immortal for longer than me. I've known him for tens of thousands of years, and we get along fairly well. He's also His Majesty the King's own son, so we have to give him some face." When mentioning the Seventh Prince of the Qianwu Kingdom, the Lord of Yousha couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Strength? How does the Seventh Prince's strength rank among the Immortal Army Lords?" Upon hearing his teacher mention the strength of the Immortals, Li Tuo immediately became interested and asked.

"His understanding of the laws is slightly inferior to mine, roughly at the level of a top-tier immortal military lord, not far from the level of a marquis. But if we take into account the treasures given to him by the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, his true combat strength should be enough to be a marquis," said the Yousha military lord after thinking for a moment. "But he is similar to me, he has never achieved immortality. The ruler of the kingdom is very strict and did not grant him the title of marquis."

As an ancient cosmic ruler who suppressed the human race for countless eras, the Qianwu Kingdom had quite a few biological children, but only a handful became immortals. The Seventh Prince, as the seventh immortal son of the Qianwu Kingdom, was considered to be relatively favored.

"After all, if we only give him the weakest title of Marquis, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom will lose face. If he really has the combat power to be a Marquis, becoming a top-tier Immortal Army Lord would be a way to deceive the enemy," Li Tuo said, stroking his chin.

He recalled the original timeline and remembered that among the human race, Venerable Fiery was probably the one who valued his children the most. That Venerable only had one son, and he spent a precious treasure to push his foolish son to the level of a king, which can be considered to be a painstaking effort.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom clearly did not spoil his own offspring to that extent.

"That's true. There are too many people hiding their strength. It's always good to keep something in reserve." The Lord of Yousha's eyes were deep as he strolled through the spacious dojo hall. Seeing this, Li Tuo also got up and followed his teacher to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, which was more than ten meters high.

In the virtual universe, every detail has been evolved to perfection without the slightest flaw. Li Tuo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and everything, from the sunlight streaming down from the sky to the solemn and majestic Qianwu Taoist temple below, and the flow of people coming and going in the temple, was exactly the same as in the real universe.

"Tuo, where is your true form now? If you have time, come back and show yourself. After all, you are a World Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior. There are only a few like you in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The Flowing Mist Army Lord is preparing to give your star system to your mother's clan. Even the King has sent a royal marquis to commend you."

Lord Yousha spoke casually, looking down at the bustling members of the Qianwu Dojo below. Having achieved immortality for tens of thousands of years, her mindset had long since transcended worldly concerns. However, Li Tuo was, after all, the first disciple of hers in recent years to have the opportunity to become immortal. With a bond between master and disciple that had lasted for more than two thousand years, it would be a lie for Lord Yousha not to be happy.

"Oh, I'm still in the Cui Lang Star Region finishing up things there. I was originally planning to return to the Holy Land, but since you've asked, I'll go back earlier."

Li Tuo nodded, not surprised at all. A World Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior—the title held even more prestige than many ordinary immortal gods, so it was perfectly normal for him to be valued.

"Let's forget about giving the galaxy to our mother race. My race is too weak; they can't even swallow the area of ​​a galaxy. Let nature take its course."

"Yes, I'll listen to you. It's been many years since we, master and disciple, last met. There's a cosmic auction in a year. If we have time, let's go and take a look together."

The Lord of Yousha smiled, placing a slender, delicate hand on Li Tuo's shoulder. He remembered that it was the same when he first met his disciple. At that time, Li Tuo was just a teenager, a first-level planetary-level being with a first-level water law domain, who amazed everyone.

She was an immortal with a long lifespan, having lived for over ten thousand epochs and taken in many disciples, but she was not truly immortal. Even the strongest realm lord could not live past the limit of a thousand epochs, and the bond between master and disciple was always difficult to pass on.

Only Li Tuo is the first among her disciples who has the potential to achieve immortality.

"A mid-level auction... I'll go, Teacher Mo Ji." Li Tuo smiled back at his teacher.

Meanwhile, in the Cui Lang Starfield, in the region of the Bain asteroid belt, Li Tuo's main body floated in the vast universe, a smile also appearing on his face.

Before him, the Bane asteroid belt had already been swallowed up by the vast power of the water elemental law. The terrifying power that was everywhere was tearing everything apart, and the entire Bane asteroid belt was rapidly collapsing.

With the power of a realm lord, destroying a planet would be a piece of cake. Li Tuo had this ability, so of course he didn't want to leave any trace.

"Six billion Chaos Units. If the news really gets out, the three hundred kings and marquises of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom will probably go crazy." Li Tuo shook his head as he watched the debris of the Bain asteroid belt being captured and swallowed by the gravity of the star.

This is the truth. 60 billion Hunyuan units is definitely the total wealth level of a mid-to-high-level King-level Immortal, while the vast majority of the assets of the kings and nobles in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, which are often diluted with water, are far from reaching this level.

No wonder Li Tuo was cautious; it was because the quantity of those Locke Divine Waters was so large that leaking the news would pose a great risk to him.

To be on the safe side, Li Tuo even planned to stay in the Cuilang Star Region for another six months to obtain firsthand information about the region, so that he could effectively avoid being affected by uncontrollable factors.
