Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 219 Becoming a Disciple and Obtaining a Treasure: Senior Brother
Once Lu Qingshan regained consciousness, he immediately found himself in a vast and desolate space.

“Teacher!” Venerable Yaoguang called out respectfully.

"Huh?" Lu Qingshan then noticed that an incredibly imposing figure had suddenly appeared not far in front of him.

The figure was as imposing as a mountain, dressed in ancient silver-white armor, with a silver longsword strapped to his back, and a chilling aura emanating from him.

When Lu Qingshan's gaze fell upon this towering figure, he immediately felt a tremor in his soul. Even though his will had been elevated to the level of a Universe Venerable, it was still far from being able to contend with him.

At first, he only saw a figure, but then he seemed to see endless cosmic laws, and the surrounding space and time were completely under his control.

The magnificent and vast laws governing the universe constantly emanated a chilling aura, causing Lu Qingshan to involuntarily feel a sense of submission.

"teacher!"

Upon seeing the Lord of Ice Peak, Venerable Radiant Light immediately bowed and said, "This is Lu Qingshan, the newest invincible king of our lineage. I have been ordered to bring him to pay his respects to my master!"

"Qingshan!"

Venerable Yaoguang turned his head slightly to look at Lu Qingshan and said softly, "Greetings to your great-grandmaster!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Lu Qingshan greets Grandmaster!"

Even though this was the second time Lu Qingshan had met the Lord of Ice Peak, he was still filled with awe and admiration.

After all, it is precisely because of the protection of these super beings that the entire human race has been able to become one of the super powers in the vast universe, occupying the most core part of the original universe.

"brat!"

A gentle voice rang out: "I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon!"

I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon.
The Venerable Radiant Light, who had been listening respectfully, was slightly startled after hearing the Lord of Ice Peak's words.

"Has Aoyama met with the teacher before?"

Venerable Radiant Light couldn't help but think to himself, "How is this possible?"

It should be noted that the Lord of Ice Peak is one of the super beings of the human race. Normally, let alone being granted the title of King and Immortal, even a Universe Venerable would find it extremely difficult to meet him.

While Lu Qingshan's current strength is not bad, he has only recently demonstrated his amazing strength. How could he possibly have the opportunity to meet the Lord of Ice Peak?

As various thoughts flashed through Venerable Radiance's mind, the Lord of Ice Peaks in front of him continued to smile and say, "You little fellow, it's quite an opportunity for you to have an avatar!"

"Moreover, you have never slacked off after entering the Immortal Realm, and you have continued to cultivate diligently, which is quite remarkable!"

"Although your understanding of the fundamental laws of time is still relatively weak, your will has already been elevated to the level of a Cosmic Venerable. You still have a great chance to comprehend the three major branches of the fundamental laws of time in the future. As for whether you can successfully step into the Cosmic Venerable realm, that depends on your own efforts!"

"This time, you eliminated that escaped spy for my human race on that extraterrestrial battlefield, which can be considered a contribution to my human race and my Virtual Universe Company. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately knelt down and respectfully said, "This disciple is willing!"

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slowly, then continued, "If you are able to reach the realm of a Universe Venerable in the future, I will accept you as my personal disciple!"

In fact, even if Lu Qingshan's will reached the level of a Universe Venerable, the Lord of Ice Peak did not believe that Lu Qingshan would definitely be able to step into the Universe Venerable level in the future.

Although Lu Qingshan's cultivation speed is extremely fast now, he is still far behind the most outstanding geniuses in the human race.

Even among those exceptionally talented geniuses, not everyone can successfully break through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable.

The reasons he accepted Lu Qingshan as a disciple were threefold: first, because of Venerable Yaoguang's recommendation; second, because Lu Qingshan possessed the rare ability to create clones; and third, because Lu Qingshan had just killed the Hundred Flower King on the battlefield outside the domain and even seized several of the king's valuable treasures.

Of course, the most important point is that Lu Qingshan's perseverance in continuing to cultivate even after becoming an immortal is something he finds quite remarkable.

After all, when he first met Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan had only just entered the Marquis level, but now Lu Qingshan had already comprehended 'time stop' and raised his understanding of the laws to the peak of the King level!

That is why the Lord of Ice Peak was willing to give Lu Qingshan a chance.

After receiving the assurance from the Ice Peak Master, Lu Qingshan quickly and respectfully replied, "This disciple will certainly strive to do my best!"

"What you have comprehended is the fundamental law of time. From now on, just continue to cultivate with Yaoguang!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks continued with a smile, "Our human race cultivates talented successors, and those with higher talent and stronger abilities receive more resources."

"Now that you have become my disciple, and your strength ranks among the top of all the King-level Immortals, I will naturally bestow some resources upon you!"

Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up instantly.

After hearing what Venerable Yaoguang said, he originally thought that he would only be able to obtain the title of a nominal disciple this time.

Now that the Lord of Ice Peaks is willing to bestow treasures, he is naturally quite happy.

Lu Qingshan quickly and respectfully said, "This disciple thanks you, Master!"

"Since you possess clones, what you fear most is naturally the soul attacks of other powerful individuals!"

The Lord of Ice Peak continued, "However, your will has already reached the level of a Universe Venerable, and you are protected by a soul-type treasure. Even most Universe Venerables would find it difficult to penetrate and destroy all your clones through soul attacks!"

"I watched your battle on the extraterritorial battlefield before. Relying on your strong will, your soul attack was already quite good, and your physical attack was also passable. You just need to continue to create combat secret techniques!"

"Your only weakness lies in your movement technique!"

At this point, the Lord of Ice Peak waved his hand, and a pair of ancient black combat boots quickly appeared out of thin air.

These combat boots look no bigger than a palm, but they are covered with incredibly complex runes of laws and carvings of various strange beasts, and they also exude a rather powerful aura.

"This is a powerful treasure that I acquired by chance, a weapon that aids in flight: the Purple Thunder Sky-Treading Boots!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks calmly said, "Although these Purple Lightning Sky-Treading Boots haven't reached the top level, they are still considered quite superior among ordinary treasures!"

"With its help, I believe your movement speed will improve significantly. If you can create a peak-level movement technique, you'll probably be able to rival that little guy from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance in terms of movement speed!"

"Now, he's yours!"

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Ice Peak sent his ancient black battle boots flying to Lu Qingshan: "Imprint your divine power onto them, and you will know the specific details of this treasure!"

Lu Qingshan reached out and took the black combat boots in front of him. Then, a wisp of divine power seeped into them, and they instantly became his.

However, now was not the time to investigate the specific details of the boots, so after completing the binding process, Lu Qingshan quickly put the boots away.

"With these combat boots, you'll be much safer venturing into space! However..."

The Lord of Ice Peaks quickly and solemnly reminded you: "Even if you possess the ability to create clones, you are not absolutely safe when venturing into the universe! In your current situation, although your willpower is not bad, any cosmic overlord who is proficient in soul attacks can infiltrate and annihilate all your clones through soul attacks!"

"Moreover, even I, your teacher, dare not say that I will never perish! Therefore, when you are venturing into the universe, you must always maintain a sense of awe for the universe!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan replied respectfully.

He has now traveled through more than 20 million years, and whether before or after becoming an immortal god, Lu Qingshan is very clear about this principle.

"Ah."

The Lord of Ice Peaks waved his hand and said, "Go then. Come see me again when you have truly broken through to the realm of the Universe Venerable!"

"Yes, teacher!" Lu Qingshan said respectfully.

“This disciple takes his leave!” Venerable Yaoguang bowed in return.

Wow!
Lu Qingshan and Venerable Yaoguang disappeared at the same time, and then reappeared in the vast universe outside the Ice Mountain Palace.

"Let's go!"

Venerable Yaoguang said calmly, and then with a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan and the other person reappeared inside the silver triangular spaceship.

Inside the Ice Mountain Palace, the gaze of the Ice Peak Lord seemed to transcend time and space.

Watching Lu Qingshan and Venerable Yaoguang depart, he thought to himself, "I hope that soon, another Universe Venerable will be born among our human race!"

"If Lu Qingshan can really break through to the Universe Venerable realm, with his ability to create clones, he can contribute a considerable amount of power to our human race!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks has been cultivating for countless years.

When he first began cultivating, humanity was merely a powerful race with a pitifully small territory, and various secret techniques and treasures were extremely rare. Later, it was his teacher, the greatest powerhouse in the history of the human race, who broke through to the realm of the strongest in the universe, and then began to lead the human race step by step to become the pinnacle race in the universe, even surpassing many other top forces and becoming the most powerful force in the entire vast universe.

Unfortunately, this period of prosperity was short-lived. With his teacher being sealed away due to an accident, even though the Giant Axe Founder had already become the strongest being in the universe ahead of time, the human race was no longer as powerful as before.

"teacher!"

The Lord of Ice Peak thought to himself, "I wonder if we will ever meet again? Although my comprehension is not as good as that of Senior Brother Chaos and Junior Brother Darkness, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and protect my human race, and I will never let you down!"

……

The silver triangular spaceship continued to move forward in the dark universe at a speed of more than 100 times the speed of light.

Meanwhile, in the spacecraft's control room.

"Qingshan!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly looked at Lu Qingshan, and then couldn't help but ask, "Have you already met the teacher before?"

"Master!"

Lu Qingshan quickly explained, "It's like this..."

But before Lu Qingshan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Venerable Yaoguang.

"Qingshan!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly waved his hand and said, "From now on, you can call me Senior Brother!"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, Venerable Yaoguang continued, "Qingshan, now that you have become a disciple of your teacher, it would be inappropriate for you to still call me Grandmaster!"

"What about Teacher Lei Huanwang?" Lu Qingshan quickly asked.

"You are Lei Huan's personal disciple, so it's perfectly fine for you to continue calling him 'teacher'!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "As for me, let's just call you Senior Brother!"

"However, you don't need to put yourself in a difficult position. In our human race, any super strong person usually has several, or even more than ten, teachers. From now on, we can each follow our own path!"

For Venerable Yaoguang, his help to Lu Qingshan was not only to cultivate a younger generation of geniuses, but also because he hoped that Lu Qingshan would have the opportunity to help him in the future.

Through their long-term interaction, he had come to know that Lu Qingshan was a grateful person, which was why he tried to get Lu Qingshan to become a disciple of the Ice Peak Master.

As for how the two address each other in the future, that's not that important.

Now that Lu Qingshan has become the disciple of the Ice Peak Master, if he still calls him Grandmaster, it would be too disrespectful to his teacher, the Ice Peak Master.

Anyway, his current relationship with Lu Qingshan can't be affected by a title, so it's best to change it.

Hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

Then...

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for planning for your disciple all this time!"

Lu Qingshan first respectfully knelt down and bowed, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Junior brother greets Senior Brother Yaoguang!"

Seeing this, Venerable Yaoguang was even more satisfied with Lu Qingshan, because it showed that Lu Qingshan was definitely a person who respected his teacher and valued the Way, and naturally he would not become estranged from him due to the change in status.

"All right!"

Venerable Yaoguang reached out to help Lu Qingshan up, then continued, "Qingshan, let's talk about your meeting with your teacher first!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "Senior brother, it's like this..."

Lu Qingshan quickly recounted how he went to the Yan Shen Clan's secret realm to pick up the Yan Shen Clan's geniuses, happened to encounter the Yan Shen Clan's leader, Yan Di, who had defected, then happened to obtain a treasure, made a deal with Venerable Zifeng, and finally asked the Lord of Ice Peak to revive his seventh son, Lu Hongyuan.

"So that's it!"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's explanation, Venerable Yaoguang couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder it went so smoothly this time when I asked my teacher to accept you as a disciple! So there was another reason!"

It should be noted that among the human race, even the most powerful beings in the universe do not serve under the tutelage of the Lord of the Universe, let alone someone like Lu Qingshan who is invincible and has been granted the title of King.

Therefore, when Venerable Yaoguang mentioned Lu Qingshan to Lord Bingfeng before, he was only trying it out.

What he didn't expect was that the Lord of Ice Peaks agreed after only a brief consideration.

At the time, he thought that the Ice Peak Lord was because Lu Qingshan killed the Hundred Flower King on the battlefield outside the domain. Now it seems that Lu Qingshan had probably left an impression on the Ice Peak Lord beforehand.

"I never expected that you, Qingshan, would encounter such an opportunity at the Marquis level!"

Venerable Yaoguang continued, "Senior Brother Zifeng's personality is indeed extremely forthright, and since you were also a disciple of Leihuan at the time, it's not surprising that he treated you that way!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "When Senior Brother Zifeng exchanged for that soul-type treasure for me, he even gave up 2 extra treasure points. Now I have enough treasure points..."

"It's just a small matter!"

Before Lu Qingshan could finish speaking, Venerable Yaoguang said directly, "Senior Brother Zifeng is stronger than me, and he has followed our teacher for many years, so he naturally has a lot of resources. Your two treasure points are just a drop in the ocean for him!"

"Moreover, now that you've become a disciple of our teacher, you can go directly to Senior Brother Zifeng's residence to find him and return the favor. However, based on my understanding of Senior Brother Zifeng, he probably won't accept it!"

"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "However, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your help with, Senior Brother!"

“Tell me!” Venerable Yaoguang quickly replied.

"It's about Teacher Lei Huanwang!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "It has been millions of years since Teacher Lei Huanwang fell, yet the clan's higher-ups have yet to reverse time and resurrect Teacher Lei Huanwang!"

"It was one thing that I didn't have the strength before, but this time I have obtained a lot of resources, so I want to spend some resources to ask Master Ice Peak to revive Master Thunder Illusion King!"

"I've only recently become a disciple of Master Ice Peak, and I'm still only a nominal disciple, so I'd like to ask my senior brother for a favor!"

"you……"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Yaoguang quickly glanced at Lu Qingshan and said with a look of disappointment, "Qingshan, didn't you listen to anything I said before?"

"How long has it been since Lei Huan perished? Only a few million years!"

"I know you haven't been cultivating for very long and you respect Lei Huan a lot, but even if you have resources at your disposal, you shouldn't waste them like this!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that you have a lot of resources now, and the teacher just bestowed upon you a great treasure!"

Venerable Yaoguang said very seriously, "Although these treasures seem numerous, they are utterly insignificant to true powerhouses!"

"Furthermore, even if Lei Huan is resurrected in this way, if he knew that his resurrection was because you spent a lot of resources to ask your teacher for help, he probably wouldn't be happy about it!"

“I understand now!” Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

He certainly didn't think things through properly.

Given Lei Huanwang's personality, if he were to actually spend a lot of resources to ask the Lord of Ice Peak to resurrect him, Lei Huanwang would definitely be under immense pressure.

"Don't worry about this!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "The one in charge of resurrecting the fallen in the clan recently should be Lord Youhou. Not long ago, Lord Youhou even appeared to take that King of the Monument as his disciple, so he must have the time!"

"Moreover, nearly a hundred King-level Immortals have fallen within the clan during this period, which is about the same number!"

"In my opinion, it will take at least several hundred or a thousand years, or at most several million years, for Lord Youhou to revive Lei Huan and the others!"

“I understand!” Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.
