Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 133 The Powerful 'Transformation' Talent, Qi Yuan the Immortal God
After more than a year of space travel, Yuqing and Shangqing's clones, who had been venturing and fighting in the extraterrestrial battlefield for more than a hundred years, finally returned to the Liuquan Star System and quietly returned to the inner world within their main body's life core.

When he previously acquired the innate secret technique 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones', his life core underwent a mysterious energy transformation.

Not long ago, the Primordial Light transformed his body, not only raising his genetic level to the limit of a hundredfold, but also seemingly strengthening his life core once again.

After these two enhancements, the carrying capacity of his life core increased significantly, and the inner world it nurtured naturally expanded accordingly.

Normally, the inner world of most ordinary human world masters is only about 10,000 kilometers in diameter. Some with special opportunities may eventually be able to gradually expand it to a size of nearly 10 million kilometers.

What is the diameter of Qi Yuan's internal world now?
10 billion!
A full 10 billion kilometers in diameter!
Moreover, this number was already achieved during his time venturing into battlefields outside the region!

Not long ago, after being transformed by the Primordial Light, the life core was enhanced once again, and the inner world began to expand once more!

The diameter of his inner world has now gradually exceeded 10 billion kilometers, and it continues to absorb energy and grow larger.

How magnificent and vast is a world with a diameter of over 10 billion kilometers!

The boundless land, with its undulating mountains and rushing rivers, is more vast and expansive than any other life-bearing planet!

The endless ocean, which is countless times larger than the earth, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. A single wave that is splashed in the endless ocean can reach thousands of kilometers high and can easily submerge a small planet!

In the center of the inner world, above the giant amethyst tree where the Origin Pearl resided, three enormous auspicious clouds of pure energy floated in the air.

Meanwhile, the two auspicious clouds were churning, with wisps of mysterious energy converging from all directions within the body and continuously pouring into them.

This process did not last very long.

Soon, the two auspicious clouds seemed to have reached their limit of absorption, and the mysterious energy that was constantly gathering was instantly cut off.

"Whoosh whoosh~~~"

Two auspicious clouds churned and rolled, and then two majestic figures stepped out from them.

Both figures were over 300 kilometers tall. One wore a robe with chaotic cloud patterns and held a chaotic pearl, while the other wore a robe with yin and yang stars. With each movement, powerful energy spread out, causing the entire space of their inner world to tremble slightly.

"Haha, this feeling is powerful, incredibly powerful!"

The two clones within the inner world silently sensed it, and a feeling of unparalleled confidence and power naturally arose in their hearts.

With a body at a genetic level a hundred times higher, its strength alone is dozens of times greater than before!
Coupled with his current understanding of the laws, which is comparable to that of a Marquis, he is probably unmatched at the level of an Immortal Military Lord!
"However, at this stage, continuing to train alongside the team will somewhat reduce the effectiveness of our training."

Qi Yuan immediately frowned slightly.

If you're going to act with an elite squad, considering the fact that your teammates are at the level of Realm Lords, you generally won't choose opponents that are too powerful. Basically, it's an elite Realm Lord squad of alien races led by only one Immortal God.

With Qi Yuan's improved strength, killing those alien races at the realm lord level would no longer serve as any training exercise. To hone his skills, he would need to find enemies with a large number of immortal gods or those with peak immortal military lord level experts.

However, such an enemy was beyond the Bahrain squad's ability to cope.
"To hone their skills further, they'll probably have to leave the smaller team. It's really frustrating that we haven't been able to recruit two promising young talents from the team."

Qi Yuan was in a dilemma.

Although his disciple expansion plan has begun, it will still take a considerable amount of time to see results. Moreover, even if he receives disciples who meet his expectations, it will still take a lot of effort to cultivate them to the level of World Lord.

If I could successfully 'win over' two teammates at the World Lord level before this, I could avoid a lot of detours!

Now that he has a large number of 'Xuanyuan Divine Light' in hand, he may no longer need to limit his targets to those two teammates with a return rate of more than 50 times; he can also consider targeting other teammates!
Apart from the new recruit Noah, the rest of the team members were all veterans who had been traversing and honing their skills on the battlefields beyond the realm for over a thousand years. Their temperament and will were extremely firm, and they were only lacking some qualifications and resources to break through to immortality.

And Qi Yuan has all of these!
If we could take one or two 'veterans' under our wing and train them a little, we might be able to gain a powerful disciple at the level of an immortal god in the near future!

In this way, his needs for disciples for a long time to come will also be taken care of!

However, while this is the idea, putting it into practice is quite difficult.

These veterans, who have fought on foreign battlefields for thousands of years, are all proud and arrogant.

Now that he himself is only at the level of a Realm Lord, and not some high-ranking or powerful figure, it is not an easy task to make these veteran Realm Lords submit to him and be willing to become his disciples.

"If I were an immortal god, perhaps I could give it a try."

Immortal gods and realm lords may seem to differ by only one rank, but their status is vastly different. If a realm lord wants to take on a disciple, the veterans might not be very interested.

But if it were an immortal deity, especially one with a profound understanding of the laws of time and space, the outcome might be different.
"Hmm, come to think of it, that's not impossible."

Qi Yuan, lost in thought, seemed to suddenly remember something—

"My basic strength is now no different from that of an ordinary immortal, and my understanding of the laws is comparable to that of a marquis-level immortal. Apart from lacking a law domain and an immortal divine body, there are still ways to overcome this."

As soon as Qi Yuan's thoughts raced, the Shangqing clone within his inner world, which had just completed its upgrade, began to change rapidly.

The Shangqing clone rapidly shrank in size, shrinking to just over three meters tall in the blink of an eye. Its appearance also changed constantly, with a dark red armor automatically appearing on its body and purplish-black patterns appearing on its bare neck.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into the appearance of the immortal god captain, Balin.

The Shangqing clone's innate ability—transformation!
[Transformation: Can freely transform into any form, perfectly concealing its soul and life force; the concealment effect depends on the strength of the soul.]

Moreover, according to Qi Yuan's experiments, this ability to change not only allows one to arbitrarily change one's own form and conceal one's aura, but also has the potential to simulate the secret techniques used by the opponent, as long as they do not exceed the upper limit of one's own comprehension!

"The most difficult step is to disguise an immortal divine body. An immortal divine body is a manifestation of the complete fusion of soul and body. Although I cannot achieve this step, I wonder if it would be possible to completely conceal my soul and life force and then simulate a form similar to an immortal divine body."

As he thought this, Shangqing's clone continued to activate his innate abilities, and his own soul and life force rapidly faded until they were completely hidden.

At the same time, the original flesh and blood body began to change rapidly. Every inch of flesh and blood transformed into a very special energy particle form. A strange aura emanated from each energy particle, as if it had truly transformed into an existence similar to an immortal divine body!
"There also needs to be fluctuations in the laws of nature."

With a thought, Qi Yuan quickly connected a wisp of his Shangqing clone's consciousness with the fundamental law of fire. Although he had not specifically cultivated the fundamental law of fire, thanks to the Shangqing clone's extremely high comprehension and understanding of spatial laws, he had already naturally crossed the threshold of laws such as the fundamental law of fire, but had not continued to improve.

As the fundamental law of fire was activated, an extremely violent and turbulent powerful aura rapidly spread from his body.
"Haha, that's getting to it. Next up is the Law Domain."

Qi Yuan recalled the various law domains he had witnessed in the extraterritorial battlefields over the years, and then, based on his original idea of ​​combining the lightning domain with array formations, he began to attempt to simulate them.
Crimson fire snakes spread rapidly, then intertwined and took shape along the trajectory of some array pattern, with the fundamental laws of fire continuously stirring, and a trace of the power of the laws was also incorporated into them.

At the same time, the innate ability 'Transformation' was activated, and countless mysterious patterns imprinted on the flesh and bones of the Shangqing clone quickly lit up. An invisible and traceless mysterious power rapidly spread, drawing the power of flames, domains, formations, and laws towards a special form of fusion and transformation.

"boom!"

Suddenly——

Flames rolled and the laws of nature rippled, and a vast fiery domain world instantly took shape!

At this moment, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone stood in the endless world of flames, with the fluctuations of laws emanating from his body, like a god who controls flames!
"Success!"

Qi Yuan was overjoyed.

With the power of a hundred times that of a peak world lord as his foundation, coupled with the 'immortal divine body' and 'law domain' form simulated through his talent 'transformation', he seemed to have transformed into a true immortal god!

However, he knew in his heart that this simulated 'immortal divine body' and 'law domain' were just empty shells, good for showing off and fooling people, but they did not possess the power and characteristics of a true immortal divine body and law domain, and could not be used in battle.

However, for Qi Yuan, this is enough!
All he wanted was the identity of an immortal god!

"Have Shangqing's clone disguise itself as an immortal god, secretly find an opportunity to meet with the team members, and ideally, travel together for a while. During this process, appropriately demonstrate your 'power' and 'wealth'."

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

"Those veteran realm lords have roamed the battlefields beyond the realms for thousands of years, seeking nothing more than resources and opportunities for further advancement. If I were to present these directly to them, I think there's a good chance I'd be able to attract them."

If Qi Yuan could really take on one of those veteran-level world lord disciples, his cultivation speed would definitely increase dramatically again!

The Realm Lord level is the stage where it is easiest to comprehend the laws, and the cultivation speed is at least hundreds of times faster than that of the Domain Lord level!
When you impart your cultivation experience to disciples at the realm master level, the insights you receive in return will naturally be even more astonishing!

With the help of this exaggerated feedback, he might be able to quickly pass through the law accumulation stage of the Realm Lord period and break through to the Immortal level earlier.

Then I can register my name at the Virtual Universe Company, give some lectures, and it will be much easier to find disciples!

As for the little tricks he uses to recruit disciples, well, it's all for the sake of cultivation, nothing shameful!

"That's the plan! But to increase our chances of success, I need to do some more preparation."

Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, and soon a series of thoughts came to mind.
Based on everyone's feedback, there's been some dissatisfaction with the part about recruiting apprentices in the extraterritorial battlefield. However, since it's already written, I can't make major revisions. I'll try to speed things up and move this part through more quickly later on.
We welcome your continued supervision and constructive criticism!
