Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 107 Future Planning
The Realm Lord level is the stage where a cultivator's strength increases the fastest in their lifetime.

Any genius with even a little ambition will choose to stay at this stage for a while longer, until they have comprehended the laws of time or space to a higher level and the benefits begin to decrease, before they will choose to break through to immortality.

As a new-era time traveler with ideals and aspirations, Qi Yuan would naturally not be content with mediocrity.

After briefly testing the power of the Heavenly Craft Tower, Qi Yuan did not immediately leave seclusion.

As his consciousness dispersed, merging with the origin of the universe and the ocean of laws respectively, he continued to comprehend the laws and cultivate by taking advantage of the special state of heightened sensory clarity.

On the other hand, even a tiny sliver of consciousness was set aside to seriously consider the next steps in the plan.

After all, besides the rapid cultivation speed, the Realm Lord level is also an extremely important stage for laying a solid foundation.

The more solid and robust the foundation built at this stage, the more terrifying the surge in strength will be after breaking through to immortality, and the smoother the future cultivation path will be.

With the existence of the Heaven-defying 'cheat code' of the return system, Qi Yuan naturally had to devise a targeted plan!

He drew upon what he had read in the original work and quickly came up with a general outline.

First and foremost, comprehending the principles remains the top priority.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to break through to the Realm Lord level and gain recognition from the Origin Law, he wanted to raise the Origin Law of Lightning to the threshold for breakthrough as soon as possible, and then devote himself to the cultivation of the Law of Time, trying to advance his understanding of the Law of Time to a higher level.

The Law of Time, as one of the two superior fundamental laws, is more than a hundred times more difficult to cultivate than the other eight inferior fundamental laws.

Some realm lords, even after a lifetime of effort, still cannot grasp the basics of the laws of time or space.

Although Qi Yuan has some talent in the laws of time, he is far inferior to some of the top geniuses in places like the Virtual Universe Company's Primordial Secret Realm or even the Primordial Secret Realm.

To catch up in this area, we must put in some effort.

He already had a few vague ideas in this regard.

First, we should find or train a disciple who has just begun to understand the laws of time, so that we can quickly improve our understanding of the laws of time by taking advantage of the system's feedback function.

Secondly, try to find ways to enhance the speed of comprehending the laws of time. For example, treasures that improve aptitude, auxiliary secret techniques similar to the "Heavenly Thunder Manual," and if possible, even try to obtain clones with special talents, etc.
This also coincides somewhat with the second plan in Qi Yuan's plan.

Doppelgänger!

In the original work, clones are definitely an indispensable and distinctive element!
Besides the main character Luo Feng's several clones, there are countless other extraordinary life forms in the vast universe that are extremely powerful and suitable as clones.

Things like the World Tree that controls a region of spacetime, the Destroyer Beast with the ability to stop time, and the Flame Star Beast that feeds on stars, all of which sparked endless imaginations among countless fan fiction authors in my previous life.

Whether considering survival, combat, or enhancing a particular ability, obtaining a suitable special clone is an excellent choice.

For example, for Qi Yuan, the Destruction Beast that appeared in the original work would be an extremely suitable choice for a clone.

The Destroyer Beast is one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, ranking alongside the Golden Horned Beast that Luo Feng possessed.

Moreover, the attributes of this behemoth are 'lightning' and 'time', making it an extremely suitable match for him.

In addition, the Destroyer Beast possesses the innate secret technique 'Time Freeze,' which can definitely be called a heaven-defying innate secret technique. When the Destroyer Beast, which cultivates the law of time, unleashes it, its power can definitely reach an incredible level!
If Qi Yuan could obtain a similar clone, he would not only gain a great improvement in cultivation and combat, but most importantly, he could travel freely to various places to explore trials and seek more opportunities or talented disciples, while ensuring the absolute safety of his main body.

This is a huge liberation for him, meaning that he will no longer be so restricted by the safety of his main body and the worry of wasting return opportunities!
That's all there is to it, but how to gain the ability to create clones really stumped Qi Yuan.

Even with a return system, he didn't know what to give as a gift to obtain the extremely rare clone ability from the original work. Was he supposed to capture a special life form with clone ability and give it to his disciple?

Putting aside whether he could ultimately get what he wanted back, simply finding a life form with the ability to create clones and a suitable cultivation level was an extremely rare and unpredictable endeavor. Qi Yuan's only current lead was whether he could find some secret technique for cultivating clones.

For example, the Chaos Monument guardian 'Kandri' in the original work, who has been stationed in Chaos City for countless years, is famous throughout the universe for his 'cloning technique'.

Not only are there many clones he creates, but each one also possesses about 60% of the original's strength. His clone technique is definitely an extremely powerful and miraculous secret method.

However, over countless years, only one 'Chaos Monument Guardian' has emerged among the human race, so obtaining his clone technique must not be an easy task.

Or perhaps this person values ​​their clone technique so much that they are unwilling to teach it to others.

Either his clone technique has significant limitations, meaning only he himself can unleash its full power.

However, this at least gave Qi Yuan a direction to strive for. Besides, even if he couldn't get Kandri's clone technique, he could try to find some other alternatives.

Over billions of years of human development, countless geniuses with extraordinary talents have emerged, creating a multitude of wondrous and mysterious techniques, among which there should be some similar techniques.

Even if the effect itself is not great, if the system returns a bonus, with a return multiplier of thousands of times, he might get some unexpected gains!
Besides the laws and clones, he also needs to consider how to further improve his aptitude and foundation.

In particular, the improvement of the life gene level and the internal world.

An upgrade in his life gene level will allow him to possess a higher level of divine power in the future, thereby gaining greater combat strength.

The more powerful inner world can lay a solid foundation for the future evolution of the divine kingdom.

However, he is currently at a loss in these two areas.

The internal world is a bit easier to understand, as there are quite a few widely circulated methods for improvement.

While it's impossible to reach the terrifying scale of trillions of kilometers as depicted by Luo Feng in the original story, it's certainly not enough to leave him completely helpless.

However, the resources to elevate the genetic level of life are truly beyond Qi Yuan's current access.

Such resources are generally only available to the most elite kings or even cosmic venerables.

Even someone like Luo Feng's True King teacher, a veteran invincible king-level expert, only had his genetic level increased tenfold.

It is easy to imagine how scarce and precious the corresponding resources are.

In this regard, Qi Yuan can only place his hopes on the return system and see if any unexpected surprises will occur.

Laws, clones, life gene levels, and the improvement of the inner world—oh, and also a self-created secret technique. These are the things Qi Yuan currently thinks he needs to focus on improving and resolving during his time as a Realm Lord.

Every aspect of improvement presents considerable difficulties and challenges.

However, with the return system at his disposal, Qi Yuan, though in a difficult position, still felt quite confident.

"I can't say about things like clones that I can't access right now, but other resources that improve one's aptitude and foundation aren't difficult to obtain."

Qi Yuan pondered silently, and soon he had a general idea in mind.

"Let's start by qualifying for the Virtual Universe Company's mid-level auctions!"

It's really stuck. o(╥﹏╥)o
This chapter is a bit short, so please bear with it for now. I'll update another chapter in a couple of days once the plot has sorted out to repay you all (plus the extra chapter I promised for 400 monthly votes, so I'll owe you two chapters in total).
Also, feel free to share any good ideas you have in the comments section! I'll start a separate thread about it later. Anything you like—characters, secret techniques, interesting plots, special treasures, weapons, etc.—is welcome! Please feel free to contribute and comment!
(Hehe, just to clarify beforehand, I absolutely will not admit to trying to plagiarize your ideas. I simply want everyone to participate in the creation of this novel, so that it can bear more traces of everyone's involvement. That should be quite interesting, right? ~~~ I don't know what else to say. I wish you all good health and all the best! ~~~o(*￣︶￣*)o)
