Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 129 Mysterious Space, Nine-Colored Divine Light

Qi Yuan hesitated slightly on how to deal with Hu Ge.

With such a high-potential talent coming to his door, he naturally wouldn't want to let him go easily.

However, considering the previous entanglement between the two parties, Qi Yuan could not completely trust him to treat him like other disciples for the time being.

After much deliberation, he ultimately followed the method of the soul secret technique "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns," directly using his soul power to guide and plant an invisible 'guide' deep within his consciousness.

Over the years, while Yuqing's clone has been venturing into the battlefields beyond the realm, Taiqing's clone has also been busy.

Taiqing's clone possesses a powerful spirit and exceptional talent in the realm of the soul.

Besides teaching his disciples, he also diligently studied the "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" that he had previously obtained, and also purchased many basic soul-related secret techniques for comparative research.

The seed he planted in Hugo was one of the results of his research over the years.

This trigger is not yet as powerful as the original "A Thousand Years of Dreams," which could enslave and control the soul; it can only slightly affect his subconscious.

This will blur his previous impression of Qi Yuan, making him think that Qi Yuan is an extremely important person to him, and he will subconsciously trust and protect him.

If this continues and genuine trust is established between them, this initial step will naturally become ineffective.

However, if he harbors any ill intentions towards Qi Yuan, this trigger will quickly blossom and bear fruit, transforming into the true 'Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns'.

At that time, Hugo will naturally become a slave completely controlled by his soul.

This subconscious influence is almost invisible and traceless. Unless Hu Ge's own soul far surpasses Qi Yuan's, or another soul master proficient in this art intervenes in the early stages of planting the seed, it is basically impossible to break free.

However, given Qi Yuan's current level, even with the support of the Taiqing clone, he can only influence people like Hu Ge who are no more than the peak of the universe level.

If the other party's level is higher, this influence will be greatly reduced, or even completely ineffective.

After doing all this, Qi Yuan finally appeared and began to inquire about Hu Ge's experiences over the years and the possible opportunities that might exist.

At this moment, under the influence of the soul 'catalyst' planted by Qi Yuan, Hu Ge instinctively forgot his previous impressions of Qi Yuan.

He felt that Qi Yuan was like a long-lost elder, even closer than an ordinary elder, which made him subconsciously reveal everything in his heart.

As he continued his narration, Qi Yuan couldn't help but show an extremely admiring expression on his face.

Speaking of which, Hugo's experiences over the years have truly been quite dramatic.

Previously, in the Eclipse World where trainee mercenaries were being assessed, Hugo and a few surviving guards barely managed to escape the pursuit.

Just as he was preparing to look for an opportunity to continue completing his assessment task, he suddenly received a message that his uncle, the pillar of his lineage, had suddenly died in seclusion.

Soon after, much of their family's resources were quickly seized by their arch-rival Adona's faction, and not long after, all communication between him and his family was cut off, making it impossible for him to contact anyone in the family.

Left with no other choice, he hurriedly returned to Thunderstorm Star, intending to gather intelligence before making further plans.

However, they did not expect that as soon as they returned to the outside of Thunderstorm Star, they would be ambushed and besieged by Adona's men.

Fortunately, among the stellar-level ninth-tier slave guards he purchased before heading to the Eclipse World, one of the Mist Clan mentalists happened to break through to the cosmic level on the way back. Caught off guard, the enemy was caught off guard, which allowed them to break through and escape.

With his territory occupied and unable to contact his family, he dared not return rashly. He had no choice but to hide in a remote star region while trying to find out what was happening in his clan.

It was during this process that he was unintentionally drawn into a mysterious place while traveling in a spaceship.

In this mysterious place, he received a 'baptism' of some kind of mysterious energy, which greatly improved his aptitude.

Later, during his wanderings, he was fortunate enough to be taken in as a disciple by a domain lord-level powerhouse who lived in seclusion on a remote planet.

While following this domain lord-level teacher in his cultivation, he continued to inquire about the family's situation and gradually learned the whole story of the family's upheaval.

Therefore, not long after, when he encountered his nemesis Adona in an unfamiliar star field, he immediately begged his teacher for help to capture and kill him.

However, no one expected that there was a lord-level alien spy hiding by Adona's side. Not only did they fail to capture and kill Adona, but the battle also caused their teacher, who had been living in seclusion, to be noticed by a mortal enemy.

Not long after, his domain lord-level teacher was killed by his mortal enemy, and Hu Ge was sold into slavery by that person.

After several twists and turns, he ended up in the Hidden Cloud Starfield and became the guard of that three-eyed old man.

Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, she was brought before Qi Yuan again.
It has to be said that Hu Ge really does have some luck on him.

For example, the Mist Clan slave he casually bought, whose aptitude far surpassed that of ordinary people, happened to break through to the cosmic level on his way back to Thunderstorm Star, which saved his life.
For example, during his time wandering and hiding, he was able to find a 'baptism' opportunity that could greatly increase his aptitude, and he was also taken in as a disciple by a reclusive domain lord.
For example, the entire Ortega family was implicated in the spy incident involving a foreign race, but he was fortunate enough to escape unscathed;

For example, more than a hundred years later, just before he was about to be sent to the Giant Axe Arena to participate in a life-or-death battle, he was discovered by Qi Yuan.
These events, one by one, if they were turned into a novel, could probably fill the screen and make up the protagonist.
A month later.

The Tian Gu Starfield is an extremely remote and uninhabited star field.

The space fluctuated slightly.

A silver-white triangular spaceship quickly appeared.

"My lord, it's this area. I was flying past that uninhabited planet when I was suddenly sucked into a mysterious place." Inside the spaceship, the one-horned youth Hu Ge looked at Qi Yuan with unusual reverence. "There was a very magical colored beam of light in there. I just absorbed one of those beams, and my body underwent a tremendous transformation. My cultivation has become much faster."

"But after I accidentally came out, I never knew how to get back in," he added.

"Ah."

Qi Yuan nodded slightly, then smiled and said to Hu Ge, "Don't worry, I will keep my promise. As long as you can find the place you mentioned, I will allow you to become my disciple."

"Ah, yes, thank you, sir!"

Hu Ge was in high spirits; subconsciously, he had already come to regard Qi Yuan as someone he greatly admired.

If he could have the opportunity to become Qi Yuan's disciple, it would naturally be the chance and good fortune he had always dreamed of!

"At that time, it seemed to be more than 30,000 kilometers away from that uninhabited planet in front of us, around these coordinates," Hu Ge said, carefully guiding the way based on his memory.

Following his instructions, Qi Yuan maneuvered the silver-white spaceship slowly forward, soon approaching a yellowish-brown uninhabited planet more than 30,000 kilometers above it in space.

However, the spaceship flew back and forth around the area several times based on the coordinates provided by Hugo, and even landed on that yellowish-brown uninhabited planet to investigate, but still found nothing unusual.

"Sir, I'm not lying to you, it really is in this area, but I really don't know how I got in." Hu Ge tried to explain anxiously.

"Please wait here for a while."

Qi Yuan casually gave an explanation, then stepped directly out of the spaceship.

Soon, he flew back to the vicinity of the coordinates that Hugo had mentioned.

The surroundings were empty space, with nowhere to hide or conceal oneself.

Qi Yuan's power of the world reached out, probing every inch. At the same time, a wisp of his consciousness rapidly communicated and resonated with the omnipresent spatial fluctuations.

For over a hundred years, Shangqing's clone has been studying the spatial insights notes of the King of Zhuan Kong, and has made great progress in the field of space.

The three clones share a common consciousness. The techniques mastered by the Shangqing clone can also be used by the Taiqing clone, although there is a slight difference in the maximum power they can unleash.

Just as his consciousness attempted to communicate and resonate with the spatial fluctuations of the primordial universe, he clearly sensed something amiss.

It felt like looking through a clear glass bottle and seeing an even smaller glass bottle inside.

A silver light shone from one of Qi Yuan's hands.

He raised his hand and gently swiped, and instantly, the void in front of him silently cracked open, with rich, colorful light shining out continuously through the crack.

Even Taiqing's clone felt somewhat invigorated when illuminated by this colorful light.

"This is."

Qi Yuan stepped inside and was instantly transported to a vibrant, dreamlike world—

This is a world of light!
The entire space was like a rainbow cascading down, crushed by the gods, with countless rays of light of varying thicknesses intertwining and roaming in a way that defied the laws of physics, creating a colorful and dreamlike scene everywhere!
Gold, purple, red, silver. Countless threads twisted and intertwined, one end seemingly rooted in the void, while the other end was entangled and coiled in the center of this world into a 'cocoon of light' that was taller than a person.

Within this 'cocoon of light,' three extremely slender nine-colored divine lights were constantly chasing and 'swimming' like nimble fish.

The three beams of divine light were two large and one small. The two larger beams were about a foot long and as thick as a little finger.

The smaller one was only about ten centimeters long and as thick as a chopstick. At the end of this divine light, there were nine thin threads of different colors connected to it, each thread shimmering with light, as if it were transmitting some kind of energy to it.

Upon seeing the nine-colored divine light, Qi Yuan couldn't help but smile.

This was exactly the mysterious beam of light that Hugo had described to him before, the one that had caused his aptitude to skyrocket!

"What kind of place is this that could give birth to such divine light?"

While observing the scene in the space, Qi Yuan was also rapidly exploring the virtual universe through the auxiliary intelligence carried by his clone.

However, after searching, he couldn't find any information related to the scene before him at all.

"Access exceeded?"

Qi Yuan's gaze sharpened.

The virtual universe network can be seen as an almost omniscient and omnipotent entity.

The fact that Qi Yuan couldn't find any relevant information could only mean that this mysterious space and what it contained must be extremely precious, requiring a very high level of access to understand!

"Whatever, I'm lucky to have run into it!"

Qi Yuan smiled as he looked at the nine-colored divine light that was nimbly swimming in the cocoon of light, his eyes revealing an extremely excited and eager light.

"Just this one ray of divine light could potentially create a genius with 'immortal potential.' I wonder what special treasures he might return to me if I give it to my disciple."
