Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 152 Establishment of the Chaos City Government

Initial universe, Chaos City.

The ancient Chaos City can be considered a sacred place for cultivation for the entire human race in the universe.

Here, the secret patterns of the universe's operating rules are visible to the naked eye everywhere; there are wondrous chaotic beasts and chaotic spirits; and there are 52 chaotic steles that can guide people directly to the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
A series of powerful opportunities allow every cultivator who enters Chaos City to obtain rich and satisfying rewards!
Besides that, for some cultivators, there was another aspect of Chaos City that they valued highly—

Within this ancient, chaotic city, reside countless ancient and powerful beings.

Among these incredibly powerful beings, some, while cultivating in seclusion, would occasionally open their mansions to give public lectures.

Those who meet certain requirements can attend classes at the residences of these powerful beings.

It should be noted that those qualified to give public lectures are all top-tier experts among the Immortal Kings, and are grandmasters in their respective schools!

For some cultivators, being able to regularly hear lectures from a grandmaster-level expert with a similar cultivation path is perhaps even more important than the Chaos Stele.

After all, although the effects of the Chaos Stele are incredible, most ordinary geniuses can only comprehend the Chaos Stele a few times during their time in Chaos City.
Once the uses are used up, no matter how powerful the Chaos Monument is, it will have nothing to do with them anymore.

However, those grandmasters and powerful figures would often give lectures.

Each of these grandmasters possesses a profound understanding of the Chaos Stele corresponding to their respective school.

Listening to their lectures three or five times may not be as effective as comprehending the Chaos Stele once. However, if you listen to their lectures for a long time and accumulate knowledge over time, the gains will far exceed the benefits of comprehending the Chaos Stele, which can only be done once every so long.

Even if someone performs exceptionally well and is fortunate enough to be noticed by a grandmaster-level expert and taken in as a disciple, it is an unimaginable and tremendous opportunity!

However, over countless centuries, the human race has produced countless geniuses, but those grandmasters, especially those who are willing to open their own schools to teach and pass on their knowledge to disciples, may only appear once every hundreds of thousands of epochs!
Therefore, very few people can successfully become disciples of a grandmaster during their cultivation in Chaos City.

However, recently, a piece of news has suddenly spread, subtly exciting countless ordinary cultivators in Chaos City—

A new Grandmaster-level expert from the lineage of the Cosmic Chaos Monument will be stationed in Chaos City and will soon officially open his residence to teach.

On the day the mansion is opened, several powerful masters from the Cosmic Chaos Stele lineage who have been cultivating in Chaos City will appear on site to give random lectures, including this grandmaster.

Any cultivator who meets the requirements for attending lectures in Chaos City can go and listen to the teachings.

sensation!

This is absolutely sensational news for all ordinary cultivators in Chaos City, especially those from the Chaos Monument lineage!

The fact that a new Grandmaster-level expert has established a residence and started teaching in Chaos City is something that might not happen even once in hundreds of thousands of epochs.

Moreover, according to rumors, on the day the mansion was opened, many grandmasters and powerful figures from the lineage of the Cosmic Chaos Stele gathered together to give lectures and teachings. What a shocking scene that would be!
"Haha, another grandmaster from my lineage of the Cosmic Chaos Stele is about to give a lecture!"

"That's great! I still have over two hundred years left to cultivate in Chaos City. With another grandmaster giving lectures, I can attend more sessions and make even greater progress. It's a pity I don't have the chance to become an apprentice."

"An opportunity! This is an opportunity! The new grandmaster might have lower requirements for accepting disciples at first. I'm still a little short of passing the third level of the Heavenly Bridge. Hurry, I must pass the third level as soon as possible, and then try to become his disciple!"

"On the day the mansion was established, many grandmasters from the lineage of the Cosmic Chaos Stele gathered to give lectures. The scene was absolutely breathtaking; I must go and witness it."

The cultivators of Chaos City were all shocked by the news that had recently spread.

In Chaos City, in a huge mansion relatively close to the city lord's mansion in the center.

Under the leadership of several immortal deity commanders, the guards of the realm lords were busy making arrangements in preparation for the upcoming grand opening ceremony.

Meanwhile, in an elegant pavilion within the mansion, Qi Yuan, who had just returned to Chaos City, was casually drinking and chatting with several figures.

"Thank you all for helping me with this matter of establishing my own residence. If I were to do it myself, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Qi Yuan smiled and raised his glass in greeting.

"Haha, it's just a piece of cake."

A burly, bald man wearing a purple robe, who was over two meters tall even while seated, and had a crystal-like mark on his forehead, raised his glass in response.

"Since we are both from the same Virtual Universe Company and both cultivate the Chaos Monument, this small favor is nothing to mention."

Beside him, several figures raised their glasses in unison.

Several figures appeared, one of whom was a slender woman draped in a black veil, with an ethereal and dreamlike appearance, yet exuding endless allure.

One was a dragon-man with two curved dragon horns and a face covered with golden dragon scales.

One was a handsome, silver-haired young man with a faint golden halo appearing behind his head.

Another was a gaunt, skeletal middle-aged man in a black robe, whose eyes burned with specks of green flame.

Including the purple-robed, bald figure, these five are the five grandmasters from the Cosmic Chaos Stele lineage who are currently cultivating in Chaos City, and they all belong to the Virtual Universe Company.

These masters have all faintly reached the pinnacle of immortality in their cultivation of the Cosmic Chaos Stele, and are only one step away from comprehending the laws of time or space. The Cosmic Chaos Stele cultivates both space and time, but even after billions of years, how many can truly develop in both time and space simultaneously, with equal rates of progress?

Therefore, there are three methods to comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe.

One approach prioritizes time and uses space as a secondary factor.

One approach prioritizes space and uses time as a secondary factor.

One method involves cultivation that combines time and space.

The first two are relatively simpler, while the third, although it allows for greater power at the same level after mastery, is also extremely difficult to cultivate!
Even among these grandmasters of the Cosmic Chaos Monument lineage, only the purple-robed, bald, burly man known as "King Juekun" is a cultivator of both time and space, and has achieved considerable success in this field.

The alluring woman in black veils, "Dream King," the golden-scaled dragon-man, "Jueshen King," the silver-haired youth with divine rings, "Sword King," and the sinister middle-aged man in black robes, "Mist Soul King," all initially focused on paths related to time or space.

In recent years, they have reached a bottleneck in either time or space, and it is difficult to see any hope of further progress in the short term. That is why they occasionally devote some energy to improving in the other area.

Under the arrangement of the Venerable Lan Hong, a new powerful figure emerged in the lineage of the Cosmic Chaos Stele, having passed the 20th level of the Bridge to Heaven. News of this powerful figure's plans to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City and establish his own academy to teach disciples quickly spread quietly throughout Chaos City.

Before Qi Yuan finished establishing his divine kingdom and rushed to Chaos City, these Grandmasters and Immortal Kings, who were all from the same lineage of the Chaos Monument of the Universe, met with him, this newly emerged mysterious 'fellow practitioner,' through the virtual universe after learning the news.

After he entered Chaos City, these people went out of their way to welcome him and help him with the preparations for the opening ceremony. As a result, Qi Yuan quickly became familiar with these people.

"I've also sent invitations to the people from Giant Axe Arena and a few other places. They should be able to come and join in the fun for you."

The bald, burly man in purple robes, known as "King Juekun," downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then smiled and reminded them, "However, some of those people are rather arrogant and might not be easy to get along with. You should be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan swirled the wine in his glass and replied with a faint smile:

"Guests are always welcome. If they are friendly, we will treat them to fine wine. If they are difficult to get along with, there is no need to rush to befriend them."

"Haha, you're absolutely right!"

King Juekun laughed domineeringly, "If there are really those who don't know what's good for them, there's no need to indulge them!"

“Yes, give them a good slap in the face! If anything goes wrong, I’ll take the blame for you!” the Golden Scale Dragonman, King Jueshen, chimed in with a laugh.

"You old dragon, you always pin all the good things on me. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm the one starting trouble," King Juekun said with a smile, pointing at King Jueshen, who resembled a golden-scaled dragon.

"Haha, who else would we turn to if we didn't turn to you when we need something, since you're the leader of our lineage?" King Jueshen said with a smile.

"Exactly, who else would we turn to if not you?"

Black Sand Woman Yu Mengwang and others also smiled and echoed.

"You've all been corrupted by Old Dragon."

"Immortal King Juekun laughed."

However, among these Grandmaster Immortals who cultivate the Cosmic Chaos Stele, only King Juekun cultivates both time and space, so it is true that his strength is slightly stronger than the others.

"Since you're new to Chaos City, if there's anything you can't do in person, just send a message," King Juekun finally promised with a smile.

Qi Yuan had a good impression of these people, and immediately raised his glass and said:

"Then I thank you, Prince Kun, and everyone else."

Chaos City, as a sacred place for human cultivation, is home to a large number of top human experts.

There are quite a few who are at the peak of the King-level or higher.

However, a large portion of these people focused their energy on comprehending the laws and did not choose to open their own schools and teach disciples.

The news that a new Grandmaster of the Chaos Monument lineage would be opening a school and teaching spread like wildfire throughout Chaos City, and even many of the powerful immortals who were focused on cultivation began to hear about it.

Even the strong are still subject to emotions and desires. In fact, because of their strength and confidence, their emotions are often amplified.

Most of the kings who had been cultivating in seclusion simply laughed off the recent news circulating in Chaos City and didn't take it to heart.

However, some felt extremely unhappy.

"This junior, who appeared out of nowhere, got arrogant after passing the 20th floor of the Sky Bridge."

"Hmph, Chaos City is a place for cultivation and seclusion. A newly promoted peak King has opened his own academy and started teaching disciples, and he's making such a fuss. I wonder who these people are who are messing around with him!"

"You've turned the once peaceful Chaos City into a complete mess!"

"Hmph, isn't he going to preach? Let's go and support him, and let him understand that even though we've all crossed the 20 levels of the Heavenly Bridge, there are differences in our understanding!"
