Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 491 As my disciple, becoming the strongest in the universe is just the beginning.

I highly recommend "Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice!" Go straight to the exciting parts.

"No!" The King of Qianwu shook his head and said, "You are all the elder brothers of our eldest brother. The other elder brothers call you Brother Hong and Brother Lei, so I'm no exception!"

"Brother Lei, Brother Hong!" the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom called out in a measured tone.

Having lived for trillions of epochs, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was somewhat stubborn, and he felt that if he wanted to integrate into Zhou Ze's circle, he couldn't be treated specially just because he was the ruler of the universe.

As the personal disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe, and as the personal disciple of the Lord of Dragon Walk, and with such a close relationship with Zhou Ze, all his senior brothers were willing to call him "brother." If he didn't join, he wouldn't have an easy time.

As for saving face, what is face? What use is it?

After all these years, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom has become incredibly shameless.

Hong and Lei Shen were second only to Zhou Ze in terms of mental state, and both were extremely confident. Seeing the Qianwu Kingdom Lord do this, they were not bothered.

"That's good, Brother Hong, you don't have to be embarrassed anymore... The one who should be embarrassed is the teacher..." Clark, the liveliness expert, said with a laugh.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom looked at Clark with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Qianwu, you don't know, you're not the most embarrassed person. The most embarrassed person is definitely Brother Hong. Compared to Brother Hong, you're actually alright! Hehe!" Clark chuckled mischievously.

"Back then, Brother Lei talked to me privately. Back when we were still on Earth, both Brother Hong and Brother Lei had considered taking our teacher as their disciple. Brother Hong, in particular, even personally designed a training plan for our teacher. As for what happened next, you know."

"And Brother Luo, guess what his relationship is with Brother Hong?" Clark chuckled.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was momentarily confused, and before he could think further, Clark continued:

"He's Brother Hong's teacher, hehehe..."

"(⊙o⊙)..." The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was stunned.

He felt that his sect was very complicated and chaotic.

Thor joined in the fun, saying, "It's like this, Brother Hong and I are too familiar with Teacher Zhou, so we never formally became his disciples. Later, Brother Hong became Brother Luo's disciple, and then Brother Luo became Teacher Zhou's disciple..."

"And so... in the end, we each had to pay our own."

Can you do this?

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom understood and whispered, "Can I take back what I just said?"

"No way! That won't do!" Thor immediately said seriously, "I've already said it, there's no going back, haha!"

"Come on, call him Brother Lei!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom turned pale, feeling utterly hopeless.

After a period of joking around, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had integrated into the circle. The interactions among Zhou Ze's disciples were even more casual than he had imagined.

"Alright, now that you've met Qianwu..." Zhou Ze said with a smile, "Let's begin class. Ask me any questions you have!"

"Luo Feng, you can log off now..."

Luo Feng smiled and said, "No rush, there's plenty of time anyway. Junior Brother Qianwu just arrived, let's get together a bit later."

"Whatever..." Zhou Ze said nonchalantly, "Who has a problem?"

Tu Man immediately raised his hand and said, "Teacher, my understanding of the Time Law has been recognized! I plan to break through to Immortality directly!"

Tu Man's words immediately drew the attention of Luo Feng and the others.

"Tu Man, why are you trying to break through to Immortality? We have plenty of time. Wouldn't it be better to comprehend the laws of spacetime before breaking through?" Tu Man's good friend Clark immediately asked.

"Yes, Senior Brother Tu Man..." Shen You said, "The speed at which a Realm Lord comprehends the laws is much faster than that of an Immortal. Even if you gain the recognition of the laws, you still can't compare to the Realm Lord era."

Thor asked in return, "What's gotten into you?"

Zhou Ze said, "You can decide for yourself; it's fine from my perspective."

Tu Man nodded and explained, "Although I now possess the strength to be invincible at the King level, I am still very different from a Venerable. I can no longer gain any training by going out..."

"As you know, I love fighting, I don't like just staying in seclusion to cultivate. I prefer to grow stronger while fighting."

Thor retorted, "You really are a berserker!"

Clark echoed, "Those three top races are keeping a close eye on us now, Tu Man, be careful you don't die out there!"

Tu Man snorted, "So you're just cowering because you're afraid of death? Besides, I have mental energy protecting me, and no one can enslave my soul. Once I break through to immortality, I will possess eternal life. Unless I am directly suppressed, I am immortal and indestructible!"

"If I were still afraid of death under these circumstances, then I wouldn't need to cultivate!"

Clark was speechless, but he didn't like Tu Man's cultivation method. He preferred his teacher's method, where one could improve through enlightenment.

"Everyone has their own ambitions. Just make your own decisions and don't regret them," Zhou Ze said with a smile.

Tu Man nodded: "I know. After I take my revenge, the meaning of my cultivation is to constantly take risks, constantly fight, and constantly improve. This is the meaning of my existence!"

"Hmm, that's good. Anyone have any questions?" Zhou Ze continued to ask.

"I, teacher..." Clark raised his hand, "I have a problem with the laws of space..."

……

After Zhou Ze answered all the questions, he said, "By the way, those of you who are still at the peak of the Realm Lord level can try to comprehend other laws. It would be best if you could comprehend all ten fundamental laws. Even if you can't, it would be best if you could at least gain the recognition of all the primordial laws!"

After Zhou Ze finished speaking, everyone, including Luo Feng, was extremely shocked!

It is important to know that the common knowledge of cultivation in the original universe is that a cultivator can comprehend a maximum of two fundamental laws at the same time. Before becoming immortal, most people mainly comprehend one lower law, while immortals comprehend one higher law, and even Venerables comprehend only one higher law.

After all, a person's time and energy are limited. Even if one becomes immortal and has unlimited time, it is extremely difficult to comprehend one major law, let alone take care of other laws, which is meaningless.

"What's so surprising? It's up to you..." Zhou Ze said calmly.

Thor asked first, "Professor Zhou, what's the significance? What's the explanation for considering the Ten Fundamental Laws?"

"Even the strongest being in the universe wouldn't need to consider so many laws simultaneously, would they?"

Clark echoed, "Yes, teacher, what you're saying is a bit beyond our comprehension. At least tell us what the use is, so we'll have some motivation!"

Zhou Ze slowly said, "If your only goal is to become the master of the universe or the strongest being in the universe, then you certainly don't need to consider other laws..."

"Most people can't manage both because they lack the ability, the time, or the awareness. But having reached this point, I can tell you that even to become the strongest being in the universe, you need to comprehend the Ten Fundamental Laws—that's the bare minimum!"

"Because to become the strongest in the universe, the most important thing is to have a certain understanding of the rules of the universe, and the rules of the universe cannot be separated from the ten basic laws, or even various laws of fusion."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom asked with a puzzled expression, "Teacher, shouldn't we wait until later to do these things one by one? I am now the ruler of the universe, so it shouldn't be too late to comprehend other laws now, right?"

"It's not too late! But your comprehension of other laws is extremely slow right now, with constant bottlenecks. Before you met me, you had spent trillions of eons cultivating, and you still hadn't even grasped the laws of spacetime. Doesn't that explain everything?"

Zhou Ze said slowly, "If you want to become the strongest in the universe, that will take an incredibly long time."

"They might all become the strongest beings in the universe in the future, while you might just remain a 'Universe Master'!"

The stronger the foundation, the further you can go!

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom frowned for a moment, but then suddenly realized something and said, "Um... teacher, are you saying that we can all become the strongest beings in the universe?"

As he spoke, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom widened his eyes!

What?

The teacher actually thinks they can all become the strongest in the universe? Isn't that a bit too confident in them? It sounds so fake, it's not that he doesn't believe Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze glanced at Luo Feng and the others and found that they all looked surprised, clearly knowing what it meant to be the strongest in the universe.

"What's so surprising? I didn't say these things before because I lacked confidence and strength. Now that I'm strong, I can say whatever I want, and no one can do anything about it!"

Zhou Ze remained calm and composed.

"As my disciple, becoming the strongest in the universe is just the beginning, but how far I can ultimately go is uncertain..."

A cultivator's strength level may depend on many factors, but ultimately it depends on comprehension and hard work; talent comes second.

As his disciples, they all possess the same comprehension as him and can receive his guidance. In some ways, their potential is the same as his; the only difference is that they lack the speed bonus for comprehension and take much longer to achieve it.

The strongest in the universe is just the beginning...

Luo Feng and the others remained silent for a long time.

"Teacher, you have way too much faith in us..." Luo Feng smiled wryly, "I still don't know how to break through to immortality, let alone become the strongest in the universe!"

"The strongest in the universe is just the beginning! Teacher Zhou is awesome!" Thor gave a thumbs up.

"The teacher is so cool!"

"The teacher is so cool!"

"..."

Let's put everything else aside for now and get the atmosphere going.

Zhou Ze's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "You'll find out later. I was just pointing you to the path closest to the truth. If you want more ups and downs in your lives, that's fine too. As long as you don't completely give up on depravity, it's just a matter of time!"

Tu Man's eyes were resolute as he said, "Teacher, I still choose to break through to immortality!"

A person who can understand their own mind and nature knows what they want, and once they have made a decision, they almost never change it.

Luo Feng echoed, "Teacher, me too..."

Luo Feng smiled.

"Actually, I'm just like my junior brother Tu Man; I can't sit still!"

Zhou Ze was both amused and exasperated: "I was just sharing some of my recent insights. It was your own decision to make. Everyone's path is different. If everyone were the same, wouldn't we become slaves, puppets, or Zerg warriors, without any self-will?"

"You can't go far that way!"
