Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 220 The Banquet: Venerable Dream Moon's Invitation

The Primal Secret Realm was very close to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters continent, and with Venerable Yaoguang's spaceship being very fast, Lu Qingshan and Venerable Yaoguang quickly returned to the headquarters continent.

After having a long chat with Venerable Yaoguang at his residence, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his own residence and began to study the Purple Thunder Sky-Treading Boots bestowed upon him by the Lord of Ice Peak.

It must be said that, as the ruler of the universe, the Ice Peak Lord's eyesight is extremely astonishing.

He casually bestowed upon Lu Qingshan a pair of precious battle boots, the law runes on which perfectly matched the movement technique he had previously created.

For Lu Qingshan, he only needed to slightly modify his original movement techniques to perfectly match these precious battle boots, which naturally saved him a lot of effort.

After all, for most powerful individuals, it is quite common to create a new secret technique that matches a powerful treasure.

After getting familiar with the Purple Thunder Sky-Treading Boots, Lu Qingshan quickly reconnected to the virtual universe and headed to the residence of Venerable Purple Wind halfway up Thunder Island.

Lu Qingshan had always been quite grateful to Venerable Zifeng.

Although he has now successfully cultivated to the peak of the King-level, possessing the strength of an invincible King-level expert, he has even by chance acquired a fortune of hundreds of treasure points.

But if it weren't for Venerable Zifeng's help, he would never have been able to obtain so many treasures.

Soul-related treasures are one thing, but even more important are those treasures that can help world lord-level powerhouses break through to the immortal level.

If it weren't for these treasures that allowed Lu Hongwen and the others to successfully break through to the Immortal Realm, Lu Qingshan would probably have no children at all now.

Now that he has enough resources, he will definitely have to repay the debt he owed to Venerable Zifeng.

Although Venerable Yaoguang once said that even if he went to return it, Venerable Zifeng would not accept it, whether or not to accept it was Venerable Zifeng's choice, but whether or not to return it was his own problem.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan, dressed in purple-gold armor, appeared directly in front of the palace of Venerable Zifeng.

"King of All Realms!"

At the palace gate, an immortal-level guard, upon seeing Lu Qingshan, quickly and respectfully said, "The Venerable One has already given instructions that you may enter directly upon your arrival!"

"Hmm!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then stepped directly into the palace.

He had already given prior notice before coming to visit Venerable Zifeng, so naturally he would not encounter any obstacles.

Upon entering the palace hall, Lu Qingshan quickly spotted Venerable Zifeng, who was dressed in a purple robe.

"Greetings, Venerable Zifeng!" Lu Qingshan quickly bowed and greeted him.

"Junior Brother Qingshan!"

Venerable Zifeng quickly stepped forward and helped Lu Qingshan up, then feigned displeasure and said, "Why are you being so polite to your senior brother here?"

Actually, after receiving Lu Qingshan's email about his visit, Venerable Zifeng was also somewhat confused.

He was naturally quite familiar with Lu Qingshan, this little guy.

However, after he retrieved the top-tier auxiliary flight treasure 'Golden Feather Silver Wings' from the Ice Peak Lord, he felt that 'Golden Feather Silver Wings' was too precious and he could not unleash its full power, so he directly contributed it to his clan.

Subsequently, he used the treasure points he obtained after contributing the Golden Feather and Silver Wings to exchange for a set of top-tier weapons and armor from the clan's treasury, as well as a high-grade treasure wing, a common domain-type treasure, a common palace-type treasure, and a common soul-type treasure.

This also made his wealth surpass that of all the cosmic overlords of the human race, and even those three top cosmic overlords might not be able to compare to him.

For this reason, Venerable Zifeng has been familiarizing himself with his newly acquired treasures recently, and naturally could not pay attention to the affairs of a minor immortal like Lu Qingshan.

When he first received Lu Qingshan's email, he thought Lu Qingshan needed his help, but he never expected that Lu Qingshan had already become a disciple of the Ice Peak Master and become his junior brother.

After researching a lot of information about Lu Qingshan, he felt both admiration and envy.

The admiration stemmed from Lu Qingshan's rather legendary experiences; the envy arose from his ability to create clones.

As for the news that Lu Qingshan had acquired many treasures on the battlefield outside the domain, it was nothing to him.

After all, he had previously obtained a top-tier treasure for assisting flight, such as the Golden Feather Silver Wings. In terms of luck alone, he was probably no less fortunate than a typical universe lord.

In fact, if the golden feathers and silver wings had not been born in two parts, then a cosmic overlord like him would not even have the qualifications to participate in the competition!

Of course, while various thoughts flashed through his mind, Venerable Zifeng quickly invited Lu Qingshan to sit down.

After the two were seated, Venerable Zifeng quickly waved his hand and served Lu Qingshan fine wine and delicacies. Then he asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Qingshan, what important matter brings you here today?"

"Is such that!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "Senior Brother Zifeng, I've come here today for two reasons. First, I want to invite you to the banquet I'll be hosting at the company headquarters' mainland residence three years from now. Second, I also want to repay the two treasure points I owed you back then!"

After saying this, Lu Qingshan had a thought and quickly transferred two treasure points to Venerable Zifeng through the virtual universe.

"Don't worry, junior brother, I will definitely attend the banquet you're hosting this time!"

While raising his wine cup in a gesture of respect, Venerable Zifeng returned the treasure points to Lu Qingshan along the same route: "As for these treasure points, they were just a joke from back then, Junior Brother, you don't need to take them seriously!"

"Senior Brother Zifeng!"

Lu Qingshan also picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he solemnly said, "If it weren't for your help back then, Senior Brother, all the people close to me would probably have perished by now!"

"I am already extremely grateful for that alone, not to mention that you even gave me two treasure points back then. If you don't accept it now, I'm afraid I'll have no face to face you in the future!"

After saying this, Lu Qingshan quickly passed the precious treasure to Venerable Zifeng.

"Junior Brother Qingshan, you..."

Venerable Zifeng shook his head slightly, then sighed and said, "Fine, this time it's up to you, Junior Brother... Come, let's drink!"

At the same time, Venerable Zifeng also made up his mind to prepare a very precious gift for Lu Qingshan with these two treasures when he attended the banquet.

Don't underestimate the value of two treasure points; after all, even Lu Qingshan's Purple Thunder Wing Sword is worth less than one treasure point.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan is still only a King of Immortality, and what he is holding is merely a banquet.

A gift of this caliber is already incredibly precious!

After a good time drinking, Lu Qingshan quickly took his leave from Venerable Zifeng's residence.

After leaving Venerable Zifeng's residence, Lu Qingshan personally went to invite other powerful figures.

For example, the Lord of the Eclipse Palace, the Shadow Monarch, and even Venerable Jiufeng of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance...

Wind Shadow King, Stele King, Green Lotus King, and so on...

After personally inviting many important figures, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to reality and then, together with his third son Lu Hongwen, disciple Hogges, and others, began preparing the many items needed for the banquet.

……

And so time passed, and soon three years had come.

In preparation for the upcoming banquet, Lu Qingshan has ordered numerous rare delicacies from the human realm and even from the territories of many allies within Hongmeng City.

Although he didn't have to worry too much about these things, they still cost him nearly a trillion units of wealth.

Fortunately, he had gained a lot on the battlefield outside the domain, otherwise he would probably have squandered his treasure points to exchange for hybrid units.

On the day of the banquet, Lu Qingshan arrived early at the gate of the mansion with his third son Lu Hongwen, seventh son Lu Hongyuan, disciple Hoggs, Aina, and others.

In addition, it also includes Luo Gen, the "Purple Marquis" who is a peak Marquis-level expert and the Minister of the Military Department of the Flowing Light Branch!
In fact, given his status as Zixin Hou 'Luo Gen', he was qualified to be a guest.

However, in order to get closer to Lu Qingshan, he was busy with preparations for the banquet, working even harder than Hoggs and the others.

Lu Qingshan was well aware of the reason behind this, since Longtao Wang had already taken Qingyang Hou to his residence to explain the situation.

Although Long Tao Wang's strength is somewhat inferior to Lu Qingshan's current level, he is a disciple of Venerable Guiyi, and his strength is roughly equivalent to that of Jing Lei Wang, Lei Huan Wang, and others. He is also a pillar among the Immortal Kings of the Virtual Universe Company. Moreover, for powerful figures like Lu Qingshan and Long Tao Wang, the so-called competition for the position of head of the Liuguang branch is nothing more than a trivial matter.

When Lu Qingshan had previously taught Logan, Logan's character and performance were quite good. In addition, Logan's teacher, Thunder King, and his teacher, Thunder Illusion King, were sworn brothers. Therefore, Lu Qingshan did not object to Logan acting under his name. He simply had Hoggs give Logan a private warning.

As for the many service personnel in the mansion, they were all Immortal Army Lords and many Realm Lords who were transferred by Lu Qingshan from the transportation department of the Virtual Universe Company through Black Peak King.

As time went by, one invited guest after another arrived.

These guests varied in strength, some being merely ordinary Immortals, such as Lu Qingshan's friends from when he first broke through, including Moxon, Kalista, and 'Purple Light' Ross...

The strongest are naturally the King of the Monument, or even the invincible King of the Wind Shadow...

Just then, Qingping Wang from the intelligence department quickly walked over.

"King Qingping!"

Lu Qingshan quickly went to greet him and said warmly, "Welcome to my banquet!"

Back then, King Qingping lent him hundreds of billions of Chaos Units at a super auction within the Hong Alliance, even though he hadn't yet revealed much of his strength. This was quite remarkable at the time!

"King of All Realms!"

After feeling Lu Qingshan's enthusiasm, King Qingping smiled and took out a prepared gift, handing it to Hoggs, who was standing next to Lu Qingshan.

Just as Lu Qingshan was inviting Prince Qingping to a banquet at his residence, Prince Qingping presented another gift.

"Not urgent!"

King Qingping waved his hand, then transmitted his voice, saying, "King of Myriad Realms, this gift was specially entrusted to me by the Venerable One!"

"Actually, His Excellency originally intended to attend your banquet in person, but as you know, our intelligence department is special. His Excellency is currently planning a major operation, so he cannot leave for the time being!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "I understand!"

"Then, King of Myriad Realms, you go ahead with your work. I'll go in and chat with the others first!" After presenting the gift to the Shadow Monarch, King Qingping quickly said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Lu Qingshan nodded and quickly instructed the seven women behind him, including Lu Wenxuan, to personally lead Prince Qingping to the banquet hall.

……

And so, one guest after another arrived, and Lu Qingshan, along with his three sons Lu Hongwen and others, continuously received each guest.

It has to be said that Lu Qingshan's banquet this time was even more lively than the banquet held by the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace after he broke through to the King level.

This doesn't mean that Lu Qingshan's potential and strength surpassed that of the former Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, but rather that he has known far more people since he was weak.

Especially now that Lu Qingshan possesses the strength to be crowned king, has an avatar, and has become a disciple of the Ice Peak Lord, his status within the Virtual Universe Company is already quite good.

A moment later, several streaks of light flew in from a distance. They were actually members of the Golden Horn Clan, and the leader was none other than Clements, who had once given Lu Qingshan guidance.

Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised when he saw Clements.

Although he had invited the other party in Hongmeng City, he did not expect that the other party would come in person.

After all, for Clements, as a venerable being from another race, to appear in a core area of ​​the human race, such as the headquarters continent of the Virtual Universe Company, he would need to go through a rather complicated application process.

Of course, although he was quite surprised, Lu Qingshan quickly went up to him and said, "Elder Clements, welcome to my banquet!"

"Hahaha!"

Clements quickly laughed and said, "King of All Realms, your might on that extraterrestrial battlefield has truly made you famous throughout the universe. Now, countless powerful beings from various races in the universe know of your renown!"

"I was just lucky!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Moreover, if it weren't for Elder Clements's guidance on two separate occasions, I probably wouldn't have acquired the strength of the King-level Invincible so quickly!"

Lu Qingshan wasn't just being polite when he said that. In fact, Clements, as the first cosmic master to guide him, was of great help to him.

It was with the help of the Enlightenment Blessing ability that he was able to receive guidance from Clements and successfully break through to the advanced level of Marquis. Moreover, Clements also gave him a treasure to restore his divine power.

Although this is nothing to him, who possesses countless divine sea clones, it is enough to demonstrate the sincerity of Clements and the Golden Horn Clan.

"King of All Realms, you are too kind!"

Clements said with a smile, "If you have the chance, I hope you can visit my Golden Horn tribe again!"

"The greatest elder of my Golden Horn Clan, Herodo, recently forged a sacred monument. Although it doesn't align with your cultivation path, King of All Realms, it might still inspire you!"

"If you, King of Myriad Realms, were to visit my Golden Horn Clan, you could spend some time studying at the Holy Stele Tower!"

"Thank you for the invitation, Elder Clements!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "If I have the chance, I will definitely visit the Golden Horn Clan again! Now, please come in and enjoy the delicious food!"

“Hmm!” Clements nodded slightly, and then, led by Hoggs, entered the banquet hall with several Golden Horn Clan Kings and Immortals behind him.

As time passed, most of the guests who were supposed to attend the banquet had arrived, including more than thirty cosmic venerables.

Among these cosmic venerables were the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master and others invited by Lu Qingshan, but there were also some powerful individuals who came on their own after receiving the news.

Once all the guests who were able to come had arrived, the banquet was finally about to begin.

After saying some welcoming words, Lu Qingshan quickly instructed Hoggs and the others to begin the feast.

However, for these guests, eating was just an excuse; chatting was their real purpose!

After all, apart from those powerful individuals who had some connection with Lu Qingshan, the weakest among those who could attend this banquet were all at the level of a King-level Immortal.

Especially those cosmic venerables, who are usually hard to meet even once, but now more than thirty of them have appeared at the same time.

Especially for some guests with weaker strength, even if they cannot chat with these cosmic venerables, simply having attended the same banquet with them is enough for them to boast about for countless years.

The thirty-odd Cosmic Venerables were divided into two groups: one group consisted of Cosmic Overlords such as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and Venerable Radiant Light, while the other group consisted of Cosmic Venerables with relatively weaker strength.

When Lu Qingshan walked up to the weaker Universe Venerables, Mengyue Venerable from the Virtual Universe Company lineage stood up and started talking to him.

Lu Qingshan was quite familiar with this Venerable Mengyue. He was the youngest Universe Venerable in the human race before the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, and he entered the Universe Venerable realm after cultivating for millions of years.

When Lu Qingshan was receiving the inheritance of the Four Directions Divine Generals, he also encountered the son and grandson of Venerable Mengyue, who were also receiving the inheritance of the Four Directions Divine Generals.

"King of All Realms, your current strength is no longer suitable for going to the extraterrestrial battlefield. I wonder if you have any plans to venture into the secret realms of the universe?"

Venerable Mengyue smiled and asked, "Several cosmic venerables and I are currently exploring a relatively safe cosmic secret realm. If you would like, you can join us!"

"Still not!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and declined, saying, "I plan to cultivate in seclusion for a while to see if I can break through to the Universe Venerable realm as soon as possible!"

Lu Qingshan was perfectly aware of what Venerable Mengyue was thinking.

The other party simply wanted Lu Qingshan, who had the ability to create clones, to help investigate the danger. Venerable Yaoguang had warned him about this before, so naturally he wouldn't agree.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan's original plan was to directly cultivate and break through to the Universe Venerable realm.

With the help of the enlightenment enhancement function, achieving this should not be too difficult; it will simply take a little more time.
