Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

Chapter 033: Tianzhu Mountain

In Huang Ziwei's manor on the capital planet.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan and Huang Ziwei, the two fellow disciples, were quietly waiting in the courtyard, because they had received news that their teacher, Kano, was about to arrive at the Imperial Capital.

A moment later, a streak of light flew from the distant sky and quickly landed in front of Lu Qingshan and Huang Ziwei. It was a silver, saucer-shaped spaceship with a diameter of more than 300 meters.

Whoosh!

The spaceship hatch opened, and Kano, dressed in yellow armor, stepped out.

"teacher!"

Upon seeing Kano, both Lu Qingshan and Huang Ziwei greeted him respectfully.

"Let's go inside and talk!"

Kano nodded slightly, then led Lu Qingshan and his fellow disciple toward the living room.

After the three of them were seated in the living room, Kano looked at Huang Ziwei first and said, "Ziwei, you did a great job this time!"

"However, we still need you to continue liaising with Virtual Universe Company. I've already instructed Orina to clear out the most prosperous area on my planet, Pastoral. Once you arrive on Pastoral, you can directly build a branch of Virtual Universe Company!"

"Yes, teacher!" Huang Ziwei quickly and respectfully replied.

After that, Kano quickly turned to Lu Qingshan beside him: "Qingshan, do you know why your master asked you to come to this Imperial Capital Star this time?"

"This disciple does not know!" Lu Qingshan quickly replied.

"Hahaha!"

Kano immediately smiled and said, "I brought you and Ziwei to this Imperial Capital Star this time for two reasons. First, so that you can broaden your horizons and get to know some important figures from my Zichuan Empire. Second, I have something quite important to tell you!"

"Important matter?" Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback after hearing Kano's words.

Kano continued, "Qingshan, your talent and comprehension are absolutely unparalleled in my entire life!"

"When you first became my disciple, I was able to guide you on some basics, but as your weaknesses are gradually addressed, there's less and less I can guide you!"

"Especially in terms of understanding the realm, I can't help you much. Therefore, I suggest you join one of the major forces within my Golden Lion Empire that has a Realm Lord-level expert in charge of your cultivation!"

"Although these powerful forces have extremely strict requirements for recruiting disciples, with your strength, Qingshan, you can easily join them. With the guidance of the strong individuals within those forces, your cultivation path will definitely be much smoother!"

"The reason I've been away for so long is to gather information about the major powers within my Golden Lion Empire!"

Upon hearing Kano's words, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

It should be noted that he himself had only recently experienced the difficulty of accumulating energy, which made him realize that he should join those major powers to acquire resources.

What he didn't expect was that his teacher, Kano, had already begun looking for a suitable powerful organization for him to cultivate with.

It's worth noting that Kano left Pastor Star three years ago, and he has only been Kano's student for a little over a decade.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately said respectfully, "Master, I will always remember your help!"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Kano immediately smiled and said, "You are my disciple, so naturally I will make some plans for you!"

"Besides, when you break through to the Universe level, or even the Domain Lord level, I might need your help in some way!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly assured him, "Teacher, if there is anything I can do to help, I will do my utmost!"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"

Kano smiled and said, "My Golden Lion Empire currently has twelve super powers, each with a World Lord-level expert in charge!"

"Among them, the most powerful is naturally the royal family of the Golden Lion Empire. It is said that their ancestor was an immortal god with eternal life, who has been ruling over the Golden Lion Empire for countless years!"

"Below the Golden Lion Empire's royal family are three major powers and eight great families!"

"The eight great families are slightly weaker, and their ability to cultivate geniuses outside their families is not as good as their ability to cultivate elites within their own families!"

"After years of investigation, I've determined that Tianzhu Mountain, one of the three major powers, is the most suitable for you to join, Qingshan!"

"Although Tianzhu Mountain has the shortest history of the three major powers, reportedly only a few million years, according to my investigation, its strength should be the strongest among the three, second only to the Golden Lion Empire's royal family!"

"Furthermore, perhaps because Tianzhu Mountain is relatively new, it has been focusing on cultivating talented disciples. If you, Qingshan, join it, you'll surely stand out very quickly!"

"Mount Tianzhu?" After hearing Kano's words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

To rank second in strength within a star field, Tianzhu Mountain must have a peak Realm Lord expert recognized by the Origin Laws, and possibly more than one.

If he could join such a powerful force to cultivate, the cultivation resources he could obtain would be far more precious.

After hearing Kano's words, Huang Ziwei felt an overwhelming envy for Lu Qingshan.

He had heard of Tianzhu Mountain before; to him, it was a legendary place.

If he could also join Tianzhu Mountain, his chances of breaking through to the cosmic level in the future would increase.

Unfortunately, although his strength was quite good among the many star-level martial artists in the Zichuan Empire, he would be at most an ordinary disciple in Tianzhu Mountain, or even just cannon fodder among the star-level martial artists!

"The competition among disciples at Tianzhu Mountain is indeed very intense!"

Kano quickly spoke up, "But with your talent and comprehension, Qingshan, I believe you will definitely stand out from the crowd!"

"In six months, it will be the time for Tianzhu Mountain to publicly recruit disciples. I have already made all the arrangements. As long as you, Qingshan, are willing to join Tianzhu Mountain, I will take you to Tianmu Star, where Tianzhu Mountain is recruiting disciples!"

"If you wish to join another faction, Qingshan, I will find a way to arrange it for you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately replied, "This disciple is willing to follow your arrangements, Master, and join Tianzhu Mountain!"

Lu Qingshan had great faith in his teacher Kano's judgment, after all, they were true master and disciple, and could be said to share both glory and loss.

"good!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's reply, Kano immediately said, "Then Qingshan, please make your preparations. Once I've met some friends on this Imperial Capital Star, we'll set off for Tianmu Star immediately!"

"Yes, teacher!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly in response.
