Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 155 Thrown out the door
The gold and silver patterns on Qi Yuan's fingertips poured out like a galaxy, intertwining in the air above the square to form a slowly rotating 'time-space egg'.

Countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell, and each crack emitted a radiant light that distorted space.

"If we compare time to a river, then space is the riverbed. As the river rushes, the riverbed changes accordingly; as the riverbed bends, the river turns."

"To combine time and space in cultivation, one must break free from preconceived notions."

Time is like water, space is like a vessel; water has no fixed shape, and a vessel has no fixed form. Only when the two merge can the universe be formed.

Qi Yuan's voice resounded like a great bell, echoing in the ears of all the cultivators in the entire square.

At the same time, a mysterious power beyond everyone's perception and understanding spread in all directions along with his voice.

In the square, the cultivators listened attentively and quickly became engrossed in the lecture.

Even they themselves didn't realize that at this moment, their souls and consciousness had entered an extremely active and excited state.

In this state of heightened spiritual activity, their thinking speed, comprehension ability, and even sensory instincts are greatly enhanced.

In the past, even when listening to lectures by other masters, most people would still find the lectures mysterious and difficult to understand because of the limited aptitude and insights of the practitioners themselves.

As a result, the gains are naturally very limited.

At this moment, for some reason, these cultivators found everything the 'King of Miracles' said to be so easy to understand.

Each cultivator felt as if they had entered a state of 'enlightenment', and the obstacles and bottlenecks that had troubled them in the past were shattered one by one. Their understanding was soaring, and everyone was completely absorbed in it.

Even the Grandmaster-level experts among the Immortal Kings standing next to Qi Yuan were all deep in thought, their faces showing extreme surprise.

"This 'King of Extraordinary Fate' has a truly thorough understanding of the first three pictures. Listening to his explanations has given me many new insights."

King Xuanhu, from the lineage of the Giant Axe Arena, couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Strange, it seems that every soul imprint is becoming more active and my consciousness is becoming clearer when I listen to the King of Miracles' lectures."

The green flames in the skeletal Mist Soul King's pupils flickered and seemed to brighten slightly.

"It seems that the first three pictures in this presentation haven't had a huge impact on us yet, but look at those little guys, they all seem to have entered a deep state of enlightenment."

These grandmasters have far greater control over themselves than those realm lords and ordinary immortals; they can directly detect even the slightest changes.

Upon seeing it, everyone's faces showed utter astonishment.

"Unconsciously guiding others to resonate during sermons? What kind of ability is that?"

"magic."

"Incredible, absolutely incredible!"

The grandmasters and powerful figures among the immortal kings all kept praising it.

Such amazing abilities were truly incredible to them!

Sudden enlightenment is a very mysterious state.

Only when a certain environment, timing, personal state, luck, and other factors all reach a wondrous coincidence can there be a minuscule chance of entering a state of 'enlightenment'.

Of course, the 'enlightenment' spoken of in this world is not as magical as the 'one day attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven' described in fantasy novels.

In a state of 'enlightenment', one simply feels a significant surge in the operation of consciousness and thought, as if one has suddenly 'got it'.

The difficult and obscure content that is usually hard to understand can be easily understood. When faced with some obstacles that have trapped you for a long time, many wonderful ideas that are usually hard to think of will naturally emerge.

In this state, if one is engaged in cultivation and enlightenment, the improvement will naturally be enormous.

If cultivators at the Realm Lord level or above in the square were lucky enough to have a sudden enlightenment, it might be equivalent to thousands of years of hard work in ordinary times!

However, this mysterious and wondrous state is extremely rare and difficult to attain; many cultivators may never have such an opportunity in their entire lives.

Right now, under the influence of the various Grandmasters who have been granted the title of King, nearly a third of the cultivators in the square seem to have fallen into this profound enlightenment!
What an exaggerated proportion!
And whoever could have caused all of this must be incredibly mysterious and unbelievable!

"Is this some kind of ability of the King of Miracles?"

Some intuitive and immortal grandmasters quickly guessed it, after all, it was impossible for so many people to enter a deep level of enlightenment at the same time.

If it is not a coincidence, then the only one who could have guided all of this to happen is the 'King of Miracles' who is currently preaching.

"A serendipitous encounter. This is truly a serendipitous encounter for these little ones."

Each master couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"I wonder if there are any limitations to this ability. If there are no limitations, then the King of Miracles would truly be a born 'Holy Phituational Body'."

"Even if there are limitations, it's still the Holy Body of the Dao. Guiding such a large number of cultivators into a state of enlightenment at once is simply outrageous."

As these grandmasters and powerful figures sighed in admiration, in an ancient spacetime within the City Lord's Mansion of Chaos City, a pair of deep eyes, seemingly containing the endless starry sky, slowly opened.

His deep gaze seemed to pierce through endless space and time in an instant, landing directly on the calm, white-robed figure who was casually speaking.

"Hmm? This feeling... Soul Teacher."

His deep gaze flickered slowly, and after a long while—

The gaze gradually faded, leaving only a faint sigh echoing in the ancient space.

"Hopefully, this will be a blessing for our human race."

Inside the ancient kiln mansion.

Qi Yuan, who was giving a lecture, was also in a strange state.

The moment the system function 'Preaching' was activated, he felt as if invisible threads were emanating from his soul and then 'linking' with the soul consciousness of various cultivators.

The feeling was very strange. In a hazy state, he seemed to be able to sense the strong thoughts, or rather, the desires, of each cultivator.

Following their intense desire, conveying a signal of 'permission' seems to have a great chance of inducing them into a state of extreme excitement and satisfaction, greatly enhancing their consciousness!

Under these special circumstances, the students' ability to comprehend the content of their lessons naturally improves significantly, and they all make rapid progress.

Moreover, what surprised Qi Yuan even more was that as each cultivator made progress, wisps of almost invisible mysterious energy began to emerge from above their heads and then rapidly converged towards Qi Yuan.

whoosh whoosh~~~
Streams of invisible energy, almost transparent and colorless, entered Qi Yuan's body without ignoring any obstacles, and then quickly merged into every part of his soul imprint!

"Huh? What is this?"

Qi Yuan tried to intercept it with some doubt, but those invisible energies seemed to have no form or shape. No matter whether he used his divine power or tentatively reached out, they were easily penetrated by the mysterious energy and then quickly merged into it. "This energy seems to be visible only to me; the others haven't reacted," Qi Yuan said as he taught, his gaze subtly sweeping over the grandmasters.

However, these grandmasters remained completely calm, seemingly unaware of the mysterious energy emanating from the heads of the cultivators.

"But this energy doesn't seem to have any effect. Strange, I haven't felt any obvious changes."

Qi Yuan silently sensed it, but found nothing.

"Is it because this mysterious energy is still too little to cause a qualitative change, or something else... Oh well, we can't stop it anyway, let's just ignore it for now."

He quickly put the matter of this mysterious energy out of his mind and began to concentrate fully on the lesson in front of him.

"Universe, spacetime, yin and yang."

Within the ancient mansion, the sound of the Great Dao seemed to resonate, constantly assaulting the eardrums of the cultivators in the square.

However, a considerable number of those cultivators were caught in a profound state of enlightenment.

Under this profound enlightenment, their understanding was rapidly improving.

Even those who did not enter a state of enlightenment still reaped great benefits.

The sermon lasted for three whole days.

As the third day was drawing to a close, Qi Yuan, who had thoroughly explained the profound mysteries of spatial integration in the first three diagrams of the Cosmic Chaos Stele, suddenly stopped speaking, and the 'Sound of the Great Dao' echoing above the plaza instantly dissipated.

"This lecture is now concluded."

Wow~~~
Instantly, the cultivators who were engrossed in their practice quickly snapped out of their daze!
"Huh, what just happened? I felt..."

"Ah, how did my understanding of the laws soar so much! I had only just reached the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven before, but now, I feel like I might be able to pass the tenth level!"

"The third picture, the third picture, I've mastered it all! I had only mastered less than two-thirds of it before!"

"Sudden enlightenment! That was definitely a state of sudden enlightenment!"

"The King of Miracles, who inspires enlightenment, is fiercely competitive."

The entire square suddenly became abuzz with noise!
One by one, the cultivators who came to listen to the lecture were filled with excitement and cheered!

During the three-day lecture, at least half of the participants broke through the cultivation bottlenecks that had plagued them for a long time. Many of them were fortunate enough to enter a state of enlightenment, and their progress in the laws of cultivation took a giant leap forward!

Even the remaining half of the cultivators, although they did not break through the bottleneck, all gained a great deal and were very satisfied.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Some practitioners took the lead in respectfully bowing.

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Thank you, Teacher Wang, for your kindness!"

Immediately, all the cultivators followed suit and bowed respectfully, their unified voices echoing throughout the entire huge plaza!

Qi Yuan stood before all the cultivators, accepting everything with equanimity.

After a moment, once all the cultivators had finished their grateful bows, the purple-robed man, King Juekun, stepped forward again:

"Haha, fellow cultivators, the first lecture by the King of Miracles has successfully concluded. You may now depart. Next, it will be time for the grandmasters to discuss and exchange ideas!"

"Yes."

We take our leave.

Although the cultivators were all extremely curious and eager to hear about the upcoming discussions and exchanges between the masters, they all quickly stood up and lined up in an orderly manner to leave.

Soon, even the immortals and realm lords who had temporarily acted as guards left on their own initiative.

The entire plaza was now empty except for the grandmasters and powerful figures of the Cosmic Chaos Monument lineage, as well as the three Gluttonous Kings who, although also belonging to the Cosmic Chaos Monument lineage, had come uninvited.

"Haha, Qiyuan, the teaching session at the academy was quite effective!"

The grandmasters of the universe lineage, including King Juekun, all smiled and congratulated Qi Yuan.

"That's right. In one lecture, more than 10,000 cultivators were involved, with more than half breaking through their bottlenecks and more than a third entering a state of enlightenment. Your reputation has really taken off now, and you won't have to worry about finding talented disciples to be your apprentice in the future!"

"Looks like we're going to have a lot of free time from now on. I bet all the students who were supposed to be listening to lectures will be coming to your class."

The masters all joked and laughed.

The three gluttons standing to the side, however, did not look too good.

They couldn't stand the rumors that Qi Yuan had established his own government, which had spread like wildfire throughout Chaos City. They assumed he had used some kind of "backdoor" to gain experience and coast through his career in Chaos City, so they looked down on him.

They originally intended to take advantage of the large gathering of cultivators during the opening of the mansion to cause him some trouble and embarrassment, but they did not expect that the other party had the strong support of the entire Virtual Universe Company led by King Juekun, which prevented them from finding an opportunity.

However, that wasn't their primary objective at the beginning.

"Hmph, aren't we supposed to be discussing and exchanging ideas next? Now, King Juekun can't stop us anymore, can he?"

"Hmph, a newly promoted peak king, who didn't even master teleportation before, at most he has comprehended one of the three major branches of the laws of space and time. I don't believe he can compare with us seniors in terms of discussing the Dao."

The three gluttons laughed, but they all moved forward together.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the King of Extraordinary Fate would be so knowledgeable in lecturing. I just don't know how well he understands it. During the discussion later, he must give us a good demonstration!"

"."

At this moment, the opening ceremony and the teaching session had ended, and Qi Yuan didn't even glance at the three of them.

He only made one move towards these three people—

Using the residential support system of this mansion in Chaos City, directly strip these three people of their access to the mansion!
Previously, in order to open his residence for teaching and to welcome the arrival of various masters, Qi Yuan had set relatively lenient access restrictions for his residence.

However, at that moment, the instant Qi Yuan deleted the permissions of those three people, the defensive function of the Chaos City residential system immediately took effect.

An invisible force, like a giant hand, directly imprisoned the three gluttons. Then, with a wave of the 'giant hand,' it tossed the three of them outside the mansion gate like throwing chicks.

After doing all this, Qi Yuan looked at the grandmaster-level experts and invited them with a smile:

"Now it's finally quiet! Haha, everyone, let's go into the main hall. I've prepared plenty of fine wine to entertain you all; let's drink and chat."
