Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

Chapter 024: Guidance and Secrets

Lu Qingshan and Verus had just returned to Cano's manor when they found Cano sitting and talking with a young man of the Hengxing level.

"Aoyama, Verus, you two are back just in time!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and Verus, Kano quickly waved and said, "Let me introduce you. This is His Highness Ziying, the thirteenth prince of my Zichuan Empire!"

After hearing Cano's introduction, Verus quickly bowed slightly to the purple figure and greeted him, "Greetings, Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingshan naturally bowed slightly in greeting as well.

Kano then introduced the purple-clad figure, saying, "Your Highness Purple Shadow, these two are my newly accepted disciple, Lu Qingshan, and Verus, a newly promoted core member of my Lu family!"

"Varus?"

This Prince Ziying paid no attention to Lu Qingshan, who was only at the cosmic level, but instead spoke directly to Verus, saying, "I've heard of you. You're quite strong. Your adventure team is rather well-known within my Zichuan Empire!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince!" Verus replied respectfully.

Then, the Purple Shadow Prince quickly turned to Kano and said with a smile, "Mr. Kano, I still need to lead my fleet to wipe out space pirates, so I won't disturb you any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person got up and started to leave.

Kano quickly stood up and said, "I'll see His Highness Purple Shadow off!"

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan and Verus quickly followed.

At the same time, Lu Qingshan secretly transmitted his voice to Verus, "Brother Verus, just who is this thirteenth prince? Even our teacher is being so polite to him?"

"This Prince Ziying is one of the candidates to become the next emperor of the Zichuan Empire!"

Verus quickly explained telepathically, "It is said that his mother comes from the royal family of the Golden Lion Empire, and she herself is a cosmic-level powerhouse!"

"If His Highness Ziying can break through to the cosmic level in the future, he should have a very good chance of becoming the next emperor of the Zichuan Empire!"

"So that's how it is!"

After listening to Verus's explanation, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

The Kano family, having expanded their operations within the Zi Chuan Empire, naturally treated Zi Ying, a strong contender for the throne of the Zi Chuan Empire, with utmost courtesy.

Soon, Kano escorted the thirteenth prince out of his residence.

After the thirteenth prince left on his spaceship, Kano led Lu Qingshan and Verus back to the living room.

"My disciple!"

After sitting down again, Kano quickly looked at Lu Qingshan again: "Disciple, the Golden Lion Empire's official government just sent me a message saying that all the relevant information has been reviewed and approved. Your home planet now belongs to you. You should have received the message by now!"

"I have received the message, thank you, Master!"

Lu Qingshan quickly expressed his gratitude respectfully.

"alright!"

Kano waved his hand slightly, then smiled and asked again, "How was it? How was your day? Did you buy everything you needed?"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly gave Kano a brief account of what had happened that day.

"It seems you're planning to develop your hometown first, my disciple!"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's explanation, Kano quickly nodded and said, "But that's good too. Once your hometown develops, it will be able to provide you with a continuous stream of resources. Investing more now is worthwhile!"

"However, Verus is right. There's no need to buy slaves at the Star level. I'll send a family fleet to your homeland later, so that no more space pirates will covet your homeland!"

"Thank you, teacher!" Lu Qingshan immediately expressed his gratitude.

A fleet typically consists of at least dozens of star-level powerhouses and a variety of advanced technological weapons. Apart from cosmic-level powerhouses, no space pirate would usually be willing to provoke an interstellar fleet.

Xuanhuang Star is just an ordinary life-bearing planet, so how could it attract a cosmic-level powerhouse?

After asking Lu Qingshan and Verus some more questions, Kano asked Verus to leave.

After that, Kano took Lu Qingshan to the training ground in the manor.

"My disciple!"

Kano quickly looked at Lu Qingshan and continued, "Now that you've taken care of your trivial matters and have gained some understanding of the universe, I also want to see how strong you are now so I can give you targeted guidance!"

"Now, demonstrate all your abilities, and I will have a comprehensive understanding of your strength!"

"Yes, teacher!"

After hearing what Kano said, Lu Qingshan immediately responded.

Then, with a thought, the second-tier Force weapon "Zhenyue" appeared in his hand.

This is an ancient long staff, completely black as ink, with many intricate patterns engraved on it.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qingshan began to use Zhenyue to unleash his various techniques.

It must be said that Force weapons are Force weapons.

The Heaven-Shaking Staff he used on Earth was a rare divine weapon on Xuanhuang Star, but compared to this "Mountain-Suppressing Staff," the difference was greater than the difference between mud and refined iron!

With the help of this "Suppressing Mountain", Lu Qingshan would probably be able to deal with the previous Mengqi Demon God even without burning his own soul if he encountered him again.

In this way, Lu Qingshan continued to use the many methods he had mastered, including the Earth Domain.

Meanwhile, Kano, standing to the side, looked in the direction of Lu Qingshan, and a look of admiration gradually appeared on his face.

"Truly worthy of being called the Domain!"

Kano couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Even if a cosmic-level powerhouse comprehends a domain, they can only be considered elite. At lower levels, the improvement in their own strength isn't that significant; it only allows them to fight across one or two minor levels!"

"But super geniuses who comprehend a domain at the planetary level are at least capable of fighting across four or five levels!"

"My disciple's divine physical strength is weaker than some of the planetary-level elites in the family, but because he has entered the Domain Realm, he can still unleash power at the Constant-level!"

"This realm is truly enviable! I wonder when I'll have the chance to step into it!"

After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Kano quickly looked at Lu Qingshan: "Disciple, stop!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly stopped, then walked up to Kano and respectfully said, "Please enlighten me, teacher!"

"My disciple, your physical strength is too weak!"

Kano shook his head slightly and said, "But you can't be blamed for that. After all, you lived in your hometown before, so you couldn't receive any valuable inheritance or guidance!"

"I have a book here called 'Analysis of Power Generation.' It's said that if you can cultivate it to its highest level, you can increase your power generation by a hundred times! But even I, your current power generation, is only at 45 times!"

"Furthermore, although we are genetically engineered warriors, our own mental strength and willpower must be extremely strong to fight against psychic masters!"

"I have a book here called 'Soul Forging,' a secret technique used to defend against soul attacks from mentalists. You can practice it now!"

"Finally, it's time for training in the Earth Domain!"

"Although I haven't yet comprehended the Earth Domain, I did purchase several secret techniques that allow one to comprehend the realm of domains! Especially this 'Thick Earth Secret Manual.' If one can fully master it, one can possess nine levels of domains, and even have a slight chance to cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of earth!"

After saying this, Kano waved his hand, and streaks of light flew toward the intelligent light brain on Lu Qingshan's arm!

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Lu Qingshan said respectfully.
