Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 229 Master and Disciple
Within the territory of the Mechanical Race, in the Thor's Temple Secret Realm.

The Thunder God Temple was once home to an ordinary race called the Thunder God Clan, who even established a sacred site called the Thunder God Temple!
Unfortunately, the cosmic territory where the Thunder God Temple was located was occupied by the Machine Race, and the Thunder God Race living within the Thunder God Temple was soon discovered by the Machine Race's powerful members.

After the Thor Clan was discovered by the powerful members of the Machine Clan, they refused to submit to the Machine Clan and were ultimately wiped out by the Machine Clan.

However, the Thunder God Temple is fraught with danger, and even the Thunder God Clan has never fully explored the entire Thunder God Temple. In addition, the development difficulty is too great, so the Machine Clan gave up the idea of ​​occupying this secret realm.

Over time, the Thunder God Temple Secret Realm became a well-known cosmic secret realm, attracting many powerful beings from among the billions of races in the universe to explore it.

At this moment, the seventh and ninth elders of the "Mud Frog Clan," an ordinary race within the "Nine Domains Alliance," one of the top powers in the universe, were cautiously exploring the Thunder God Temple secret realm.

Both of them possessed the combat strength of a mid-level Venerable, and they could withstand even high-level Venerables.

Moreover, the Mudfrog Clan leader, 'Mudfrog Sage,' is a cosmic overlord. Without a huge conflict of interest, no one would be willing to fight them.

Just then, a purple-blue light flashed before the eyes of the two elders of the Mud Frog Clan.

"It should be Purple-Blue Thunder Glass!"

The seventh elder of the Mud Frog Clan, who had noticed the purple-blue light, quickly spoke up.

"It's definitely true!"

The Ninth Elder of the Mud Frog Clan replied in the same way: "The Fourth Elder once obtained a piece of purple-blue lightning glass in this Thunder God Temple secret realm. Its appearance scene was just like that. I didn't expect that the two of us would encounter it again this time. Let's go and take a look!"

Purple-blue lightning glass is an extremely precious material for refining weapons. In the entire vast universe, it can only be produced in the secret realm of the Thunder God Temple.

However, the appearance of the Purple-Blue Thunder Glass is completely unpredictable; it can appear anywhere in the Thunder God Temple Secret Realm, making it something that can only be encountered by chance.

That's why the two Mud Frog elders were so excited when they saw the birth of Zi Lan Lei Li.

But just as they followed the fleeting purple-blue light, they soon spotted a human figure wearing silver armor.

In the hand of that human figure was a cone-shaped crystal emitting a purple-blue light, which was none other than the Purple-Blue Thunder Glass.

Two against one seems to have an advantage.

Upon seeing the silver-armored figure wielding the purple-blue lightning glass, a hint of apprehension quickly flashed across the faces of the two elders of the Mud Frog Clan.

"He is the Radiant Venerable of the human race!"

"Get out!"

After a brief exchange of voices, the two elders of the Mud Frog Clan immediately used their movement techniques to fly swiftly in opposite directions!
In fact, in the past, if they encountered strong human groups, they could still coexist peacefully as long as there was no huge conflict of interest.
However, not long ago, the Yan Emperor, who had broken away from the human race, led his Yan God Clan to join the Nine Domains Alliance. Since then, the relationship between the strong under the Nine Domains Alliance and the strong of the human race, while not exactly antagonistic, has become much more tense than before.

The strength of the Radiant Venerable was comparable to that of the Mud Frog Clan leader, the 'Mud Frog Sage,' so they naturally had to retreat quickly upon encountering him.

Otherwise, if they really angered Venerable Yaoguang, it would be another matter whether the two of them could return to the Mudfrog Clan alive.

And on the other side...

"The seventh and ninth elders of the Mud Frog Clan?"

Watching the two figures retreat rapidly in the distance, Venerable Yaoguang had no intention of pursuing them.

Firstly, he had neither deep-seated hatred nor any conflict of interest with these two mud frog clan elders;
Secondly, since the Thunder God Temple is located within the territory of the Mechanical Race, even though he can venture here, he should still keep a low profile!

As for the conflict between the human race and the Yan God Clan, and the Yan God Clan's joining the Nine Domains Alliance, these are not issues that a small Mud Frog Clan can influence.

"Purple-blue lightning glass? Looks like my luck is pretty good after all!"

After the two Cosmic Venerables of the Mudfrog Clan left, Venerable Radiant Light looked at the cone-shaped crystal in his hand that emitted a purple-blue light, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although Lu Qingshan obtained some precious treasures on the battlefield outside the domain, and even handed over the top-tier treasure armor to Venerable Yaoguang in exchange for treasures, he never thought of taking a single penny from it, nor did he ever think of making Lu Qingshan bear the debt he incurred when he exchanged for the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor.

After wandering around the secret realms of the Azure Light Universe for a period of time, Venerable Yaoguang found that there were not many opportunities there, so he went to other secret realms.

What he didn't expect was that not long after he left that secret cosmic realm, Venerable Yushu of the First Bank of the Universe found him.

After chatting with Venerable Yushu, Venerable Yaoguang realized that Venerable Yonglang and the others had misunderstood his trip to that cosmic secret realm.

However, Venerable Radiant Light did not pay too much attention to it, and continued to explore various cosmic secret realms.

And just like that, tens of millions of years passed in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, the quantity and quality of the precious treasures in these secret realms are far inferior to those on the original star. So even after wandering for tens of millions of years, he only managed to obtain seven or eight treasure points.

The purple-blue lightning glass in his hand could earn him five levels of treasure points even if contributed to the human race's treasury. Combined with his previous gains, he was almost able to repay all the treasure points he owed the Fire God Venerable.

"Let's explore this cosmic mystery for a while longer!"

Venerable Radiant thought to himself, "Once I've accumulated enough treasure points to repay the God of Fire, I'll return to my human territory. Then I can cultivate in peace for a while!"

Just as the thought flashed through Venerable Radiant Light's mind, he suddenly received an email from Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane.

"The Watcher Baffin's email?"

Venerable Radiant Light was slightly surprised to receive the email, since he had not given any instructions to the overseer Baffin recently.

But after reading the email, he was completely stunned.

The email contained the message that Lu Qingshan had passed the twenty-first level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge.

"This...how is this possible?"

Upon learning that Lu Qingshan had passed the twenty-first level of the Bridge to Heaven, Venerable Yaoguang was undoubtedly deeply shocked.

It should be noted that just a thousand years ago, when the Monument King broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, he and Lu Qingshan remarked on how fortunate the human race was.

A thousand years is but a blink of an eye for a cosmic venerable like him, so the scene at that time felt like yesterday to him.

At the time, he had thought that Lu Qingshan would one day be able to break through to the Universe Venerable realm, but he never expected that only a thousand years had passed and Lu Qingshan would break through to the Universe Venerable realm right after the Monument King.

"Hahaha!"

After the initial shock, Venerable Yaoguang quickly smiled and said, "With Junior Brother Qingshan's strength, this breakthrough makes him quite impressive among mid-level Venerables!"

"The teacher will probably bestow precious treasures upon him this time. Once he has a period of time to mature, his strength will likely be comparable to that of a typical high-level Venerable!"

"With Junior Brother Qingshan's enviable ability to create clones, it seems another formidable powerhouse is about to emerge in the universe!"

At this moment, Venerable Yaoguang must have been extremely happy.

After all, given his relationship with Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan's increased strength would definitely be a good thing for him.

After all, even a cosmic overlord like the Radiant Venerable would encounter dangers when venturing into the universe, so he would need to find reliable companions when venturing into the universe.

Given their relationship, once Lu Qingshan becomes stronger, he will be able to explore the universe with Lu Qingshan.

In particular, Lu Qingshan's ability to create clones is like adding wings to a tiger for a powerful figure venturing into the universe.

"correct!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly thought, "Junior Brother Qingshan has just broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, and he's probably still clueless about cultivation at the Venerable realm. I'd better go over and explain it to him!"

Thinking of this, Venerable Yaoguang quickly disappeared from the spot.

……

On the other side, Lu Qingshan had just been kicked out of the Tongtian Bridge plane when he received many emails from powerful figures. Some even went directly to his residence on Thunder Island or in Hongmeng City.

Moreover, unlike last time when he unleashed his invincible strength as a King, most of the people who visited him were King-level experts. This time, most of the powerful individuals who sent him emails or took the initiative to visit him were high-ranking Universe Venerables.

But that's not surprising!
Although the human race currently has thousands of cosmic venerables, the number of cosmic overlords is very small. Most of them are at the level of novice venerables, intermediate venerables, or advanced venerables.

Although Lu Qingshan has just broken through, he already possessed invincible strength at the King level before his breakthrough. Even now, he can still unleash the power of a mid-level Venerable. If he accumulates more experience, reaching the high-level Venerable is entirely possible.

More importantly, Lu Qingshan also possesses the ability to create clones, which alone is enough to make countless cosmic venerables take him very seriously!
After all, the only way to completely annihilate a powerful being with the ability to create clones is through a soul attack.

The stronger a being is, the more they value their mental will, making it even more difficult to destroy their soul!
Perhaps at the Immortal stage, one can kill enemies slightly weaker than oneself through soul attacks. However, at the level of a Cosmic Venerable, even the most ordinary Cosmic Venerable would find it extremely difficult to kill with a soul attack, let alone to penetrate and kill all of the opponent's clones with a soul attack.

This is precisely why the Cosmic Venerables who possess the ability to create clones are absolutely the most troublesome among the Cosmic Venerables.

Those cosmic venerables without avatars who fall, even if they can be resurrected by reversing time and space by the higher-ups of their race, will still incur a huge debt to their race.

Even if a cosmic lord with the ability to create clones perishes, he can still create new clones through other clones. At most, he will only lose some treasures and energy!

This is why, although Lu Qingshan has only recently broken through, his overall strength is already in the middle to upper range among the many universe venerables of the human race, and he naturally receives a lot of attention from them.

However, Lu Qingshan had no time to pay attention to these super strong people who came to visit him, because his teacher, Lei Huanwang, had already arrived at his residence in Chaos City.

Accompanying King Lei Huan was King Tong Ye, who had previously left Chaos City but happened to come to Chaos City to see King Lei Huan.

……

Inside Chaos City, in the living room of Lu Qingshan's residence, Lu Qingshan, Lei Huanwang, and Tongyewang, master and disciple, were sitting around a round table.

"Qingshan, have you truly mastered the complete fundamental laws of time and broken through to the Venerable realm?"

Even though Lei Huanwang had already received the news from his friend, he still found it hard to believe.

After all, he had cultivated for countless years and had long understood how difficult it was to take this final step!

In fact, Lei Huanwang had only cultivated for more than 20 million years when he had already comprehended the three major branches of the fundamental law of time.
Billions of epochs have passed, and even the Thunder Illusion King has fallen three times, yet he still hasn't grasped the final step, mastered the complete laws of time, and entered the realm of the Universe Venerable!
But how long has Lu Qingshan been cultivating?
He entered the realm of the Universe Venerable so easily and smoothly?

"That's right!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then quickly released a pressure belonging to the level of a Universe Venerable.

Although his true form did not absorb divine power, he had already reconstructed his own divine power with the complete laws of time, so he was naturally able to release the pressure of a cosmic lord.

"This……"

After feeling the astonishing pressure emanating from Lu Qingshan, Lei Huanwang was filled with endless admiration.

Back then, he took Lu Qingshan as his disciple simply because he felt that Lu Qingshan had a good will and a decent character, so he did it casually!
Unexpectedly, only tens of millions of years have passed, and Lu Qingshan has already entered the realm of the Universe Venerable, which he could not break through even after countless years of cultivation!
If this had happened tens of millions of years ago, he wouldn't have even dared to imagine it!
But now, this utterly unbelievable thing is happening right in front of him.

"Junior Brother Qingshan!"

King Tongye, standing to the side, raised his wine cup and exclaimed, "I never expected that I would witness your breakthrough to become a Universe Venerable while I was merely visiting my teacher in Chaos City!"

"Junior Brother Qingshan, you've now entered the Universe Venerable realm. Don't forget your senior brothers and sisters!"

Although Queen Tongye had planned to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City, her divine power was damaged, resulting in a missing soul, so cultivating in Chaos City was not very effective.

Therefore, in order to recover his divine body more quickly, King Tongye returned to the original universe.

Unfortunately, she lost too much divine power back then, so even after tens of millions of years, her divine power has not yet recovered to its perfect state.

"Senior sister, what are you saying!"

Lu Qingshan quickly raised his glass and said, "Back when I first became your disciple, I was just an Immortal Army Lord. Even though you were a King-level Immortal, you still took such good care of me. Even if I become a Universe Venerable, I'm still your junior brother, aren't I?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Tongye Wang couldn't help but smile.

She then directly teased, "Junior Brother Qingshan, I had forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it! In just tens of millions of years, you broke through from an Immortal Military Lord to the Universe Venerable Realm. How can I, who has been stuck at the initial King level, possibly complain?"

"I've followed my teacher in cultivation for so many years and have seen quite a few powerful individuals, but I've never seen anyone as monstrous as you, junior brother!"

"I was just lucky!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "Senior Sister, as long as you cultivate diligently, you will definitely have the opportunity to break through to the Universe Venerable realm in the future!"

"I've broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm?"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Tongye Wang quickly laughed and said, "Junior brother, don't joke with me! If it's true that our teacher can break through, then it's very possible! As for me, I would be content if I could even pass through the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge like my third senior brother!"

"Qingshan's breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm is truly a joyous occasion!"

Lei Huanwang, who had just come to his senses, quickly raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's all raise our glasses and drink together to celebrate for Qingshan!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan and Tongye Wang quickly raised their wine glasses.

After Lu Qingshan finished drinking the wine in his glass, he suddenly received an email from Venerable Yaoguang.

"Yaoguang's email?"

With a thought, a virtual screen appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.

Seeing this, Lei Huanwang quickly asked, "Qingshan, is something the matter?"

"It's an email from Senior Brother Yaoguang!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "My senior brother told me to go find him right now!"

"Then go quickly!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan call Venerable Yaoguang "Senior Brother," Lei Huanwang was already used to it: "Teacher must have something important to discuss with you!"

"I'm already on my way!" Lu Qingshan said quickly.

……

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan, whose consciousness was connected to the virtual universe, also soon appeared in Venerable Yaoguang's mansion.

"Senior brother!" Lu Qingshan greeted him warmly.

"Junior Brother Qingshan!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan again, Venerable Yaoguang quickly smiled and said, "Your breakthrough this time has truly surprised me!"

"Although I felt you definitely had a chance to break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, I never expected you to break through so quickly!"

"How does it feel to become a cosmic sovereign?"

"The power of the Cosmic Venerable is indeed formidable!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "I am now at least several thousand times stronger than before!"

"That's natural!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly nodded and said, "Compared to the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, the basic divine power of the Universe Venerable is a hundred times different. In addition, there is a huge gap in the understanding of the laws. Once he breaks through, his strength will naturally be incomparable!"

"However, after this breakthrough, your understanding of the laws can only be considered as that of a beginner Venerable. But your life gene level, body amplitude, and protective treasures are all quite good, so your strength can be compared with most intermediate Venerables!"

"This……"

After hearing what Venerable Yaoguang said, Lu Qingshan was also quite puzzled: "Senior brother, when I was trying to break through the twenty-second level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge, the gatekeeper's method was somewhat similar to the spatial blockade, one of the three major branches of the fundamental laws of space. I wonder what this is all about? How are the strength and law comprehension divided among the Universe Venerable level?"

"Qingshan, don't worry!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "I called you here today to explain the specifics of this matter to you!"

After saying this, Venerable Yaoguang quickly began to explain to Lu Qingshan many common-sense issues related to the levels of cosmic Venerables.

　I went on a blind date today and got back a bit late, so there's only one chapter left. I'll try to update three chapters tomorrow...
