Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 179 Leaving
Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone silently experienced the special state of being under his complete control, and an unprecedented feeling of power welled up in his heart!

This feeling is no longer the illusion brought about by the rapid increase in strength, but a real and tangible power!
The most powerful aspect of the "Time and Space" secret technique is roughly equivalent to a complete set of secret techniques at the "ultimate" level of a universe master, and it is also an extremely rare secret technique for controlling time and space.

His own understanding of the laws has already approached the limit of the laws of time and space, and his will is definitely at the level of a cosmic master.

In addition, with over three thousand years of tempering his will in the Amplification Secret Technique, his control over his body has become increasingly profound, and he has now advanced "Star Soul Battle Intent" and "Nine Transformations of Divine Silkworm" to their highest levels.

Currently, his soul amplitude has reached a maximum of 96 times, and his divine body amplitude can reach a maximum of 99 times, which is infinitely close to the limit of 100 times.

Aside from a slightly weaker divine body foundation and the lack of a sufficiently powerful treasure for the time being, he is in no way inferior to those top cosmic overlords in other aspects!
Once he returns to the human realm and cultivates in seclusion for a while, his strength will experience a tremendous surge after he truly breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe!

That will be the time when he can truly use the return system without any scruples to frantically improve his strength and accumulate wealth!
"Incredible! What exactly is this dark, murky aura?!"

Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone stared intently at the constantly fluctuating mysterious gray energy in front of him, his face also showing an extremely fiery expression.

Just now, a tiny wisp of dark energy, barely thicker than a hair, entered his body, causing such an incredible transformation in his will and soul. The power and preciousness of this dark energy are absolutely beyond imagination!
He separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect with the virtual universe and began to rapidly search for information related to the strange place deep within the Ninth Battlefield's Time-Space Prison.

After breaking through to the King level and establishing his own sect in Chaos City, his information access has been greatly enhanced.

Even so, the information he could find was very simple—

"The Time-Space Prison is a strange natural environment nurtured by the former Heavenly Fall Secret Realm. Its interior is constantly filled with extremely active and chaotic time-space energy. Long-term contemplation of it helps to promote the understanding of the laws of time and space. The deeper one goes into the Time-Space Prison, the more violent the chaotic time-space energy becomes. Even the Universe Venerables cannot enter the deepest part."

The information available in the virtual universe describes the Time-Space Prison in a very brief manner, consisting of common information that is widely circulated, without mentioning the content of this mysterious space at all.

Information about this place has been blocked!

Qi Yuan instantly realized...

"When the Ninth Battlefield was opened, super beings from various races must have already explored everything within it. The existence of this mysterious place should not be a secret to the higher-ups of the major factions."

"However, if they discovered it, why didn't they take away this incredibly powerful dark energy? Unless they couldn't take it away!"

With a thought, Shangqing's clone transformed a wisp of divine power into a 'pocket' shape, immediately enveloping the dark aura.

To his surprise, when the 'pocket' formed by divine power approached the dark aura, it pierced directly through the cloud of dark aura.

It was as if they had passed through nothingness; the 'Divine Power Pocket' had not detected any target at all!
It should be noted that after divine power becomes ethereal, it can even attack invisible souls, and in its normal state, it can tolerate almost anything.

However, what actually happened before our eyes broke this pattern.

"Really, we can't take it?"

Qi Yuan, somewhat skeptical, continued his attempts, enveloping the contents with invisible divine power, using the vessel formed from the extension of his treasured battle armor, and employing the power of the "Time and Space" secret technique to control time and space to bind them. In the end, he even had his Shangqing clone use its "transformation" ability to transform into a "humanoid vessel" to devour them.
However, all the methods ultimately failed. The dark, murky air currents seemed like an illusion; they were clearly visible to the naked eye, yet when one tried to actually touch them, they found only emptiness.

"Wait a minute, how did I absorb that mysterious flow of energy? Was it because my Shangqing clone was constantly simulating the state of that 'singularity force field,' thus forming some kind of strange resonance with that energy cloud?"

Shangqing's split body seemed to have some guesses in his mind, "Then I'm still maintaining that state, so why can't I continue to draw that energy flow? Could it be that my body has reached saturation?"

The Shangqing clone continued its relentless attempts, trying every imaginable method of capturing the energy, but it was still unable to successfully detect the existence of that mysterious energy flow.

"As expected, given the shrewdness of the high-ranking members of the various factions, how could they possibly leave such a powerful opportunity, which could almost create a universe master, here for no reason!"

"Firstly, they genuinely can't take it away, so they're not worried about someone else taking it. Secondly, they might genuinely be unaware of the effects of this dark aura."

After all, it was only when he used his avatar to simulate the special state of that 'singularity force field' and unintentionally entered the place where this dark energy mass was located that he accidentally caused the dark energy mass to resonate, thus guiding out a tiny branch of energy.

Under normal circumstances, who would think in this direction? Even if they had some guesses, they don't have the heaven-defying talent of 'transformation,' so how could they simulate that powerful force that constantly absorbs and surges?

It's estimated that, apart from him, it would be difficult for any other life to do all of this perfectly.

"So many universe lords, even the strongest beings in the universe, haven't been able to take it away, so isn't it normal that I can't either? Hehe, anyway, I've already gained enough benefits, so there's no need to keep digging into the details."

In just a moment, Qi Yuan recovered from the faint sense of loss that came with missing an opportunity.

His attention then shifted to another aspect:

"Even if we can't take away this mysterious airflow, just based on the environment of this strange place, the bizarre 'singularity,' and the existence of the mysterious network of threads, this strange space is a rare treasure!"

By utilizing the unique pulsation of the entire singularity and observing the mysterious network of threads, one can greatly accelerate the understanding of the laws of time and space.

From now on, if any disciple is slow in cultivation, just throw them into a small world in this strange place for 'closed-door cultivation'. With the added threat of death and the wondrous aid of the singularity pulse and crystalline network, I don't believe their breakthrough won't be fast!
"Hehe, what a great idea! It's just that getting in and out of here is a problem. At the very least, we need the escort of the universe's master who controls time and space to safely enter and leave this strange place."

"Moreover, we have to constantly monitor the small world where we are in seclusion so that it doesn't suddenly collapse. This is equivalent to constantly keeping a universe-level powerhouse here. No wonder no major faction is doing this; it's really not worth it."

After a period of random thoughts, Shangqing's clone finally gathered his scattered thoughts and looked at this mysterious space again.

"The universe is truly amazing; it has naturally created such a strange environment!"

He sighed softly, "Now that I have obtained all the opportunities in this 'Singularity' space, and I am only one step away from mastering the laws of spacetime, there is no need to force myself to go into seclusion to comprehend them anymore. There is really no need for me to stay any longer."

"It's time to leave!"
