Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 186: Modification Completed

Deep within the Blood Soul Pool, in the golden palace.

"There are 10 cubic meters of Divine Light Liquid here, which is almost enough to enhance another ordinary life form. However, without the assistance of the Divine Light Pool, the enhancement effect of the Divine Light Liquid will be greatly reduced, at most it can enhance by about 8 to 10 times."

The middle-aged Blood Soul Pool Master, dressed in golden robes, tossed a jade bottle to Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone, waving his hand dismissively with a hint of impatience.
"Master of Qiyuan Pavilion, your disciple's 'Blood Soul Sacrifice' is now complete, so I won't keep you any longer. Let's take our leave!"

The Shangqing clone grabbed the jade bottle and put it into its world ring, then smiled at the other party:
"Blood Soul, you have at least a hundred cubic meters of Divine Light Liquid in that pool, and you only gave me this little bit? That's incredibly stingy!"

"Me, stingy? Do you know how precious this Divine Light Elixir is!"

The Blood Soul Pool Master's eyelids twitched, as if he were somewhat annoyed, and he said, "That's all, take it or leave it! If you continue to pester me, I'll summon the Ancestral God Sect's experts to come and support me!"

"Haha, just kidding, why are you in such a hurry?"

Upon hearing this, Shangqing's clone smiled and shook his head, "Alright, let's temporarily lift the spatial blockade and leave now."

"Hmph, no thanks."

The Blood Soul Pool Master gave a cold snort, his face expressionless.

He raised his hand and waved it, instantly halting the spatial blockade that enveloped the entire Blood Soul Pool.

Sensing the spatial fluctuations returning to normal, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone no longer lingered.

"Blood Soul, you are welcome to visit the human territory when you have time. Just remember to bring some Divine Light Liquid as a gift."

He nodded to the Blood Soul Pool Master again, and then teleported away with his second disciple, Liao Li, who had already left the Divine Light Pool.

Once their figures completely disappeared, the space within the Blood Soul Pool fluctuated slightly and returned to a state of maintaining lockdown.

The expression on the Blood Soul Pool Master's face gradually returned to calm, after a hint of resentment.

"When did the human race produce such a person? Did they really break through recently?"

"A mere Venerable One can wield secret techniques that control space and time and seem to have reached the ultimate level of a Universe Lord. It's truly unbelievable! If his divine body were any stronger, he would be no different from a true Universe Lord!"

While controlling time and space might be possible with the help of some kind of treasure, the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe is absolutely a manifestation of one's own talent and combat power!
Such a person, as long as he doesn't perish, has an extremely high probability of breaking through to become the Lord of the Universe in the future!

"Humans are truly a wondrous race. Despite not having many innate advantages, each one who reaches a certain level possesses formidable combat power among those of the same rank."

The Blood Soul Pool Master's golden eyes flickered slightly.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something, flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized black token, and his consciousness sank into it.

A message appeared in the token—

"Blood Soul, what happened? I heard you fought with the enemy not long ago?"

"Taught by the Ancestor God."

The Blood Soul Pool Master's gaze shifted slightly, then he replied through the token:

"The Lord of Xijiao is the Master of the Qiyuan Pavilion of the human race. One of his disciples was accidentally caught in my Blood Soul Pool. He came to rescue his disciple and fought a great battle with me."

"Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion? I've never heard of him. How strong is he?" Xi Jiao, the Lord on the other end of the token, pressed.

"strength?"

The Blood Soul Pool Master's lips curled into a smile as he replied.

"That Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion is incredibly powerful. Although his divine body is only at the most basic Venerable level, he can still use the ultimate secret technique of controlling time and space and the Lord of the Universe. Moreover, his will must be extremely strong. Even my strongest soul attack couldn't harm him!"

"This time, he not only took his disciple from me, but also stole 90% of the Divine Light Liquid I had accumulated over countless epochs. Even the grade of my Divine Light Pool has been affected, and it is estimated that it will be unable to produce Divine Light Liquid stably for a long time to come!"

"Lord of Xijiao, your Ancestral God Sect must avenge me!"

She sent out several messages in a row, her tone as pitiful as could be.

"At the Venerable Realm, one can unleash the ultimate secret technique of controlling space and time and the master of the universe, and one's will is also extremely strong. Even if one's divine body is slightly inferior, one is definitely at the level of the most top universe overlord."

"Aren't there only three top cosmic overlords of the human race? When did this new one appear?"

In a remote, secret realm within the Ancestral God Cult, a colossal, four-legged figure, as massive as a mountain, murmured softly...
Although it was a murmur, its enormous size made it sound like thunder in this endless secret realm.

A top-tier cosmic overlord, while not as powerful as a true cosmic ruler, possesses a tremendous advantage that a cosmic ruler could never match—

That means being able to reverse time and be resurrected!

With this advantage, top cosmic overlords can be even more frenzied and fearless in battle, and at certain times, they can even play a stronger role than the cosmic ruler!
Therefore, a top cosmic overlord is of great importance to a race and will naturally attract a lot of attention.

"How come we can't find any information about such a top-tier cosmic overlord? Hmm, the three Ancestral Gods possess a great deal of hidden information; let's report this to them first."

The enormous figure, 'Lord of the Horned King', moved with all four hooves, rushing towards the Ancestral God Palace at the core of the secret realm.

At the same time, he casually transmitted a message through a black token hidden in the crevices of the hoof scales: "Blood Soul, the information you provided is very important. I will negotiate with the human race. As for the Divine Light Liquid, given the damage to your Divine Light Pool, the quota of Divine Light Liquid provided to our Ancestral God Cult for the next ten eras will be temporarily waived."

The Ancestral God Cult is known as the number one power in the universe, possessing countless precious secret realms and treasures.

The amount of Divine Light Liquid, equivalent to only ten epochs, seems insignificant compared to the information about a newly emerged, mysterious, top-tier cosmic overlord.
While the Blood Soul Pool Master was conversing with the Ancestral God Sect's Master Xi Jiao, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone had already returned to the human realm with his second disciple, Liao Li, via teleportation through the Divine Kingdom.

"What are your plans next? Will you come back to Chaos City with me to cultivate?"

During the journey, Qi Yuan asked his disciples questions.

After undergoing the mysterious transformation of that divine light liquid, this disciple not only improved his life gene level, but also made great strides in all aspects of his aptitude!
The most obvious point is that her base return multiplier has now increased to 59 times, which is almost the ultimate level of immortality.

With a significant improvement in aptitude, comprehending the laws will become much easier. If the special environment of Chaos City is utilized, there should be a good period of rapid growth in cultivation.

However, that's what he thought, but the disciple's reply was somewhat unexpected—

"Reporting to Master, this disciple wishes to travel to the battlefield beyond the realm!" Liao Li replied respectfully.

"Extraterritorial battlefields"

Shangqing's clone's gaze shifted. "You've already experienced a lot of trials and tribulations in the universe's secret realms over the past thousand years. There's no need for you to go to a dangerous place like the extraterrestrial battlefield."

"Teacher, I feel that I can improve my strength faster through constant battles."

Liao Li's eyes were firm. "The planet where I was born has been destroyed, and all my people have perished. My only pursuit now is to cultivate diligently and grow into an unparalleled powerhouse like you, Master. I beg you to grant my wish!"

"Oh?"

Shangqing's clone looked at the disciple in front of him with surprise.

This disciple was initially a stellar-level slave that he bought from slave traders.

At that time, I had just escaped the status of a slave and desperately needed a disciple with a decent base return rate as a target for the system's gift return. Therefore, it was unrealistic to say that I had much affection or high expectations for this disciple at the beginning.

However, as they spent more time together, Qi Yuan naturally saw many admirable qualities in this disciple.

The most important point is the dedication and pursuit of martial arts cultivation to improve and become stronger!
Although she was somewhat taciturn among the disciples, and although her talent was slightly inferior to that of Mireya, Longji, and others who later joined the sect, her enthusiasm for cultivation was absolutely the most steadfast among all the disciples!

Even the eldest disciple, Cang Fan, would often pay attention to the development of the Lei Yuan clan members, while the sixth disciple, Long Ji, would occasionally be distracted by the business operations of Hongye Star, which were no longer important to him.

Almost every other disciple has some other interests or pursuits, more or less.

Only Liao Li, over the years, has almost never devoted her energy to anything meaningless except for cultivation.

Her only pursuit was to cultivate and become stronger.

Therefore, although her aptitude was slightly inferior to that of her junior brothers and sisters such as Mireya, her progress in cultivation was the fastest, except for Longji, the 'time-scratching insect'.

With an unwavering passion for martial arts, coupled with the unexpected opportunities gained during his trip to Blood Soul Pool, this disciple's future is undoubtedly bright, provided he doesn't perish.

After a moment of silence, Shangqing's clone finally spoke: "It's good that you understand what you want!"

"In that case, I will first send you to the nearest logistics base. But you must remember that the extraterrestrial battlefield is fraught with danger. Countless alien races use all sorts of strange methods. If you really encounter a life-or-death crisis that you cannot overcome, it is better to self-destruct than to be enslaved and controlled. Remember this!"

"Yes, disciple understands!" Liao Li replied respectfully.

"Let's go."

Shangqing's clone first used his soul servant to perform an ultra-long-distance divine kingdom teleportation, and then teleported continuously to send Liaoli to the vicinity of 'Mo Niao Xing,' one of the eight major logistics bases in the extraterrestrial battlefield, before returning to his own divine kingdom alone.

The endless divine kingdom is vast and boundless.

At the very center of the entire divine kingdom, an incomparably magnificent and dazzling temple, wreathed in endless lightning, stood majestically.

Above the temple, three auspicious clouds emitting a faint golden light floated quietly, seemingly having a subtle connection with the temple below.

"Whoo~"

With a single step, Shangqing's clone arrived at the majestic temple.

In the center of the temple, Yuqing's avatar, dressed in a robe with chaotic cloud patterns, sat cross-legged, his consciousness resonating slightly with the origin of the universe, trying to grasp the last trace of the unity of time and space.

On the shoulder of Yuqing's clone, an ancient and simple Chaos Pearl was quietly floating.

swoosh~
With a thought, Shangqing's clone separated a fist-sized ball of divine light liquid that had been robbed from the Blood Soul Pool Master and shot it into the Chaos Pearl.

"Items of the Divine Light Liquid's caliber require a considerable amount of time to analyze. I wonder if the Chaos Pearl's analysis speed will increase after breaking through to the Universe Lord realm."

The seated Jade Purity clone opened its eyes.

After a slight sigh, he sent a message to his eldest disciple, Cang Fan, through the virtual universe—
