Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 151 Enslaving the Immortal Zerg Hive
Whoosh!
Qi Yuan took a step and entered the divine kingdom directly.

The divine kingdom is vast and filled with boundless divine power!

Furthermore, the entire divine kingdom is constantly absorbing cosmic energy, and its edges are continuously expanding outwards.

"God's Kingdom, this is my God's Kingdom!"

Qi Yuan stood in mid-air, closed his eyes, and stretched out his arms.

It's a wonderful feeling.

In that instant, I felt as if I had transformed into the entire divine kingdom, with everything within it residing in my heart.

The inner world is the foundation of a powerful realm lord.

After breaking through to immortality, all the way to the stage of cosmic venerable and cosmic master, the foundation is the divine kingdom!
Cultivators at the Immortal level and above, within their own divine kingdoms, are empowered by the entire divine kingdom's power, allowing their strength to increase dozens of times instantly!
Of course, unless it is the final moment of life and death, a cultivator would never rashly bring an enemy into his divine kingdom.

After all, the divine kingdom is the foundation of cultivators. Once it is destroyed, although it is possible to survive and maintain strength, one will never be able to improve further.

Unless someone self-destructs and dies completely, and a super being who controls 'time reversal' comes to help, they can be 'rescued' directly from the point in time before the destruction of the divine kingdom.

However, putting aside the cost of reversing time, how many people in the entire primordial universe could actually connect with a super being capable of 'reversing time'?
"My divine kingdom, while incomparable to that heaven-defying Luo Feng's, should still be comparable to those of ordinary universe venerables."

Qi Yuan silently sensed it.

After all, ordinary cosmic beings do not have the opportunity to be granted a secret innate ability to have their life core transformed by mysterious energy.

Their divine kingdoms, at most, are divine kingdoms created from the inner world with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, and then evolved and expanded over a long period of time.

The divine kingdoms of some ordinary cosmic venerables are basically at the same level as the Qiyuan Divine Kingdom today.

"When Boss Luo broke through to Immortality, he already had 10081 times the perfect genes, and his God Kingdom's diameter reached a trillion kilometers immediately upon breakthrough. I'm still far behind him and need to keep working hard."

Qi Yuan sighed silently in his heart, but looked directly at the divine kingdom below.

"The creation of a divine kingdom requires careful planning."

He raised his hand and pointed downwards—

"Temple! Stand!"

Instantly, in the center of the entire divine kingdom, the giant amethyst tree, which was nearly a million kilometers tall, shattered with a deafening roar.

whoosh whoosh~~~
A vast amount of divine power converged and rapidly fused with the fragments of the shattered amethyst tree, eventually forming a majestic temple.
This is a majestic temple radiating endless, dazzling lightning light. The aura of the fundamental law of lightning spread out, making the entire temple appear incomparably majestic and unapproachable.

boom!
As soon as the temple was completed, it formed a subtle connection with the entire divine kingdom, becoming the core of the entire divine kingdom.

Meanwhile, the three enormous auspicious clouds, now entirely tinged with pale gold, drifted over and hovered above the temple.

Golden auspicious clouds drifted by, seemingly echoing the entire temple.

Qi Yuan kept moving—

"Mountains!"

"grassland!"

"swamp!"

"desert!"

"oasis!"

"lake!"

Qi Yuan closed his eyes and sensed the entire divine kingdom. At this moment, the divine kingdom and he were one, and the entire divine kingdom began to rapidly evolve and improve according to his will.
After a long time-

He finally opened his eyes with satisfaction.

"With the divine kingdom established and the weakness of the life core eliminated, I can now act with greater freedom!"

With the golden auspicious clouds around him, his clones and even his main body can fight freely outside!

Each of the clones perished, but could be restored in the golden auspicious clouds with a single thought. As for Qi Yuan's main body, given its size, it only needed to allocate a little divine power from the three clones to re-condense!

Unless he is extremely unlucky and is instantly possessed and destroyed by a super strong person who is extremely skilled in soul manipulation, his soul will penetrate and destroy his entire body.

Otherwise, if the divine kingdom does not perish and the golden auspicious clouds do not disappear, he will be practically immortal!
"From now on, you should focus more on strengthening your soul and will. You can also utilize the spiritual talent of your Taiqing clone to learn more powerful soul defense techniques. It would be best to also find a way to acquire a soul defense treasure."

Qi Yuan was making plans in silence when he suddenly remembered something else.

"By the way, after breaking through to immortality, my soul power has increased significantly. Could I try to enslave that immortal-level Zerg hive?"

Years ago, the return of the worm that helped his disciple Longji possess a body was definitely the greatest opportunity Qi Yuan had ever obtained besides the return system!
That one return not only rewarded him with a sleeping, immortal-level Zerg hive and a top-tier soul control technique called "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns," but also an almost abnormal special reward—the innate technique "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones"!
The power of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones goes without saying, and he has also gained some understanding of the profound mystery of the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns over the years.

However, he had never attempted to enslave the immortal-level Zerg hive because of the vast difference in their soul power.

However, now that he has broken through to the Immortal realm, his divine power is comparable to that of the most ordinary Universe Venerable. Coupled with the powerful spiritual strength of his Taiqing clone and the wonders of the *Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns*, perhaps it's worth a try.
"call!"

Qi Yuan paused slightly, and immediately, the Immortal-level Zerg mother hive that had been sitting in the system space without being claimed was retrieved by him. The Immortal-level Zerg mother hive was pyramid-shaped, reaching a height of over ten kilometers. The hive was full of holes, naturally emitting some poisonous gas, and even flowing with some venom.

The Zerg hive is synonymous with terror in the universe.

Such an immortal-level Zerg hive, as long as it breeds enough Zerg warriors, can basically be regarded as invincible below the cosmic lord!
The Zerg Queen commanded a large number of Immortal-level Zerg warriors to attack, and even the peak King-level powerhouses could only flee for their lives!

Fortunately, the Zerg hive was currently dormant.
Qi Yuan manipulated a wisp of divine power to quickly penetrate into the Zerg mother nest.

The entire Zerg hive is like a giant 'beehive', with countless holes inside, which should be the place where a large number of Zerg warriors are bred.

In the very core of the Zerg hive, there is a vast, empty cavity with a diameter of approximately one kilometer.

In this hollow, there is a life sleeping.

Her entire body was fair and translucent, like a delicate body formed from crystal. She was about thirty-six meters tall and had a pair of wings that looked like butterfly wings.

The wings enveloped her delicate body like a thin veil, and her curvaceous figure was a masterpiece of nature. Even in her sleep, her brows were slightly furrowed, which was heartbreaking.

This is the Zerg Mother Queen!

The real members of the Zerg are a group composed of these Zerg queens, who dominate the universe and become one of the top groups in the universe.

Even if the human race is as strong as the clouds, they are still only evenly matched.

"Based on the information I obtained after my privileges were elevated, my current conditions should fully meet the requirements for enslaving the Immortal Zerg hive."

With a slight thought, Qi Yuan immediately manipulated a wisp of divine power to penetrate and invade the body of the insect queen.

At the same time, the soul control secret technique "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" was activated—

An invisible soul force instantly eroded every trace of the Immortal Zerg Queen's soul imprint, guiding her dormant subconscious into a hazy dream. It also took the opportunity to plant a special 'catalyst' within her soul imprint.
It's unclear whether it was the system's power that kept the immortal Zerg queen in a deep sleep, or whether the "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" was indeed powerful.

Throughout the entire process, the sleeping Immortal Zerg Queen did not make the slightest attempt to wake up.

Soon, guided by Qi Yuan's soul power, the 'catalyst' that had invaded the depths of the Zerg Queen's soul began to take root, sprout, and grow rapidly until it finally blossomed. Threads of soul intertwined, quickly imprinting Qi Yuan's 'symbol' onto every trace of the Zerg Queen's soul imprint.

An invisible connection was instantly established between Qi Yuan and the Zerg Queen.

At the same time, in the central space of that ugly Zerg mother hive, a pair of gentle and quiet azure eyes slowly opened.

Call ~
A figure that looked incredibly delicate and alluring flew out from a pit in the mother nest filled with venom and poison gas, and then gracefully landed in front of Qi Yuan.

Her butterfly-like wings fluttered gently in the wind, and a pair of captivating blue eyes looked at Qi Yuan before her. Her eyes seemed to ripple gently like tranquil lake water, and a light mist naturally spread out, making her beautiful face somewhat blurry, which only added to her allure.

"Owner."

The Zerg Queen bowed slightly, her voice soft and gentle, seemingly penetrating the heart.

Qi Yuan looked at the 'giant' Zerg Queen in front of him and calmly gave a command:
“Shrink your divine body to the same height as me.”

"Yes, Master."

A gentle voice sounded, and the dreamlike body of the Immortal Zerg Queen rapidly shrank, soon shrinking to the same height as Qi Yuan's main body.

"Yes, that's much better."

Qi Yuan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the much more pleasing Zerg Queen, then asked, "Do you have a name?"

"Master, my consciousness has just been born and I do not yet have a name."

The Zerg Queen's watery eyes rippled gently, revealing an expression of deep affection. "Please bestow a name upon me, Master."

"Give me a name?"

Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Then I'll give you a title. From now on, you can be called 'Queen of Blades.' As for your name, just pick one that you like."

"Queen of Blades. Thank you, Master, I love this title!"

The Zerg Queen's soft, gentle voice revealed boundless joy.

Looking at the beautiful Zerg Queen who resembled an elven maiden, Qi Yuan began to ask the questions he was most concerned about.

"Tell me first about the types of Zerg warriors you are good at breeding, and also what resources are needed to breed immortal-level Zerg warriors."

"Yes, Master."

The Zerg Queen, the Blade Queen, responded gently and then began to explain in detail the Zerg warriors she was skilled at breeding, as well as the resources required to breed each type of Zerg warrior.

As she explained, even Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The resources required for an Immortal-level Zerg Queen to nurture and cultivate an army of tens of thousands of Immortal Zerg warriors from scratch are simply enormous and outrageous—so enormous and outrageous that even a typical peak-level King-rank Immortal might not be able to afford it!
However, after sighing, Qi Yuan didn't really feel too much pressure.

"Fortunately, I have the return system."
