Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 234 Trivial Matters as Gifts
After seeing off Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Wufang, Lu Qingshan quickly sent emails to his many children and disciples, including Lu Hongwen and Hogges.

After becoming a Universe Venerable, he directly possessed a plane space in the virtual universe, and the palace halfway up Thunder Island also needed someone to manage it.

With so many trivial matters, it was natural to summon Lu Hongwen, Hogges, and others.

Moreover, this time Lu Qingshan notified not only Lu Hongwen and Hoggs, but also his other children and disciples who had already entered the level of immortal gods.

It must be said that breaking through from the realm of a world lord to the realm of an immortal god is an extremely difficult thing.

Over the past tens of millions of years, the Lu family has also produced some reasonably good geniuses at the realm lord level.

Although Lu Qingshan no longer spent an astonishing amount of money to help the younger generation of his family, as he had done with the breakthrough treasures for Lu Hongwen and others, he still prepared some resources.

For example, sending them to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City, or finding a suitable teacher to guide them, etc.

Even so, the Lu family has not produced a new immortal deity to this day.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lu Qingshan's cultivation time was too short.

Tens of millions of years may seem like a long time, but for those ancient families that have been passed down for countless years, it is nothing at all.

Meanwhile, Lu Hongwen, Hoggs, and the others arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence shortly after receiving Lu Qingshan's email.

Hoggs was the first to arrive.

In fact, Hoggs had been waiting for Lu Qingshan's email ever since he met with Clements, an elder of the Golden Horn tribe.

Because he knew very well that everything he had now was mostly thanks to his teacher, Lu Qingshan.

If it weren't for Lu Qingshan, he wouldn't have even had the chance to visit the Golden Horn Clan, let alone be received alone by a Universe Venerable.

So the moment he received Lu Qingshan's email, he immediately rushed to Lu Qingshan's newly built mansion.

"Disciple congratulates Master on breaking through to become a Universe Venerable!" As soon as Hoggs appeared in Lu Qingshan's residence, he immediately knelt down respectfully.

"Okay, get up!"

Lu Qingshan waved for Hoggs to stand up, then said with a smile, "I heard you were sent to the Golden Horn Clan by the Black Peak King?"

"Yes, teacher!"

Hoggs quickly replied, "This disciple is still in the sacred grounds of the Golden Horn Clan!"

"Oh?"

Lu Qingshan immediately became interested: "I heard from a friend of the Golden Horn Clan that the Golden Horn Clan built a Holy Stele Tower in the Holy Land. Have you seen it?"

"I see!"

Hoggs quickly replied, "Thanks to you, Master, I received many preferential treatments during my trip to the Golden Horn Clan!"

"Especially after you broke through to become a Universe Venerable, Elder Clements, who attended your banquet back then, personally received his disciple and even bestowed some treasures upon him!"

Hearing Hoggs's words, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

When he first went to the Golden Horn Clan, he was only a junior Marquis Immortal, but Elder Clements was undoubtedly extremely powerful in his eyes.

Even a single piece of guidance from the other party allowed him to smoothly advance to the advanced level of Marquis.

Now, tens of millions of years have passed, and he has successfully broken through to the realm of the Universe Venerable, his strength surpassing that of Elder Clements.

"However, I know in my heart that Elder Clements bestowed this treasure upon me entirely because of you, Master!"

As Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly, Hoggs quickly continued, "This disciple was worried that you, Master, would owe me a favor, so I did not accept those treasures!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan felt quite gratified.

It must be said that he has a good eye for choosing disciples.

Although Hoggs wasn't very strong, his character and integrity were impeccable, and he held his teacher in even higher esteem.

"If any of the powerful members of the Golden Horn Clan give you gifts in the future, you are perfectly free to accept them!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "My relationship with Elder Clements is quite close. As for personal favors, they are just minor matters!"

“Disciple understands!” Hoggs quickly nodded and said.

While Lu Qingshan was giving instructions to Hoggs, Lu Hongwen, Lu Hongyuan, his fifth disciple Aina, and Lu Qingshan's newly accepted disciple Streich, among others, also arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence one after another.

They were also extremely shocked when they learned that Lu Qingshan had become a Universe Venerable.

After paying their respects to Lu Qingshan, the seventh daughter, Lu Wenxuan, asked directly, "Father, now that you have become a Universe Venerable, are you also able to establish a Universe Kingdom like other Universe Kingdom Lords?"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan felt somewhat helpless.

Expanding territory is a major event for the entire human race, so how could a newly ascended cosmic lord like him possibly accomplish such a feat?

But then again!

The human race currently has only 1003 interdimensional kingdoms, which is five short of the 1008 interdimensional kingdoms in the original work.

This means that the human race should establish at least five more cosmic kingdoms in the future, including the Qianwu cosmic kingdom where Luo Feng is located.

"When the human race expands its territory again, I can become the ruler of a cosmic kingdom!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "At that time, whether it's developing the family or cultivating geniuses, we will have some advantages!"

"Moreover, I have clones, so even if I'm stationed in the universe, I don't have to worry about not being able to go out and train!"

In fact, the Thunder Ancestor of the Thunder Light Sea Star Region had previously proposed to Lu Hongwen that the Thunder Light Sea Star Region be handed over to the Lu family.

However, after Lu Hongwen reported to Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan ultimately rejected Lei Guang's idea.

Firstly, when he was still a World Lord, the Thunder Light Sea Royal Family treated him quite well, and even married Karina to him;
Secondly, the Thunderlight Sea Star Region is too small for the Lu family; there's no need for them to claim the title of royalty.

Now that he had the opportunity to establish his own cosmic kingdom, Lu Qingshan was quite tempted.

However, since the human race has not yet expanded its territory, he can only suppress this idea for the time being.

"Creating a cosmic kingdom is not as simple as you think."

Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"

"The main reason I called you all here is that after I broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, I acquired a plane space in this virtual universe. You can move your families there directly in the future!"

"In addition, my residence also needs someone to manage it. After you return to your families, select some outstanding younger members to come here!"

"Hongwen, I'm leaving this matter to you!"

“Yes, Father!” Lu Hongwen nodded quickly.

"besides……"

Lu Qingshan continued, "Now that I've broken through to the Venerable Realm, I'll be organizing another banquet! Hoggs, I'm leaving this matter to you!"

"However, this banquet will definitely be a bit different from the previous ones. How about this, the banquet that Venerable Beihai hosted not long ago was organized by the 'Lion Dance King'. You can go and ask him for advice. I will put in a good word with Venerable Beihai!"

“Yes, teacher!” Hoggs quickly nodded in response.

After instructing his children and disciples, Lu Qingshan quickly turned to his youngest disciple, Streich: "Stretch, how is your cultivation going in the Ancestral God Sect lately?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Streich's face showed a helpless expression.

You should know that when he was cultivating among the human race, although he wasn't considered a top genius, he was still ranked in the upper-middle tier.

But after going to the Ancestral God Sect, he discovered that his talent was nothing compared to those hundreds of millions of Beast God inheritors.

"This disciple is currently ranked at the bottom among the three levels of inheritors!"

Strach said helplessly, "I lost all my Glory Points in a previous bet, and it took me a whole epoch to get back one Glory Point!"

"Fortunately, Venerable Jiufeng has been quite considerate of me because of you, Master, so no one in the Ancestral God Sect dares to provoke me!"

"That's good!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then continued, "The path of cultivation is never smooth sailing. Your talent is quite good. As long as you persist in cultivation, your strength will definitely continue to improve, and you might even be able to break through to the Universe Venerable realm in the future!"

“Disciple understands!” Streich quickly nodded and said.

After giving instructions to his children and disciples, Lu Qingshan waved for them to leave.

……

And so time passed, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Lu Qingshan's second clone finally arrived at the mansion in Chaos City via Black Peak King's spaceship.

After his second clone arrived, Lu Qingshan quickly retrieved many treasures he had previously obtained from the human race's treasury.

Although he now possesses numerous resources, he has no intention of simultaneously enhancing his main body and his second clone.

Therefore, when he exchanged for treasures that could enhance his life gene level, he also exchanged for them for his second clone, whose life gene level had reached twenty times, so as to save more resources.

soon……

hum!
Lu Qingshan immediately released a surge of Venerable Divine Power, completely enveloping the numerous treasures in front of him that could enhance the level of life genes.

As time passed, these treasures began to gradually integrate into Lu Qingshan's Venerable Divine Power, thereby elevating his life gene level.

Once all these treasures were integrated into Lu Qingshan's body, his life gene level was successfully raised to fifty times that of ordinary life in the universe. "Now my basic strength has reached five hundred million times the power of a World Lord!"

Sensing the transformation at the level of life's genes, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Even compared to some cosmic overlords, I'm not that much worse!"

"It's a pity that my current understanding of the laws and combat techniques are still very weak, so my strength is not very high!"

After a brief sigh, Lu Qingshan quickly replaced all the treasures he carried.

Looking at the Purple Thunder Skywing Sword and the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor that he had taken off, Lu Qingshan felt quite emotional.

Back then, he put in a lot of effort to win the Purple Thunder Skywing Sword at the auction in Hongmeng City, and even ended up owing Qingping King a huge sum of money afterwards.

As for the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor, it was a gift from Venerable Radiant Light.

After a moment's thought, Lu Qingshan quickly removed the divine power imprint he had left in the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor, and then left his residence.

……

In the mansion of King Lei Huan in Chaos City.

"Junior brother!"

"Junior Brother Qingshan!"

"Junior brother is here!"

As Lu Qingshan walked through the mansion, the senior brothers and sisters who had followed Lei Huanwang in their cultivation and were at the Marquis level all became very reserved when they saw him.

In fact, if Lu Qingshan hadn't given these senior brothers and sisters some guidance after the fall of Lei Huanwang, they probably wouldn't even be able to call him junior brother now.

After all, the gap between them and Lu Qingshan, who had already broken through to the realm of the Universe Venerable, was simply too great.

It wasn't just them; even the eighteenth senior brother, Qinglin King, was quite reserved when he saw Lu Qingshan.

Only the Extreme Lightning King and the Crimson Leaf King, who usually interact with Lu Qingshan more, can still get along with him normally.

Of course, even though these senior brothers and sisters were rather reserved, Lu Qingshan still greeted them warmly along the way.

After Lu Qingshan entered the living room of the mansion, his senior brothers and sisters began to excitedly discuss it in the square.

"Junior Brother Qingshan is truly amazing! I never expected him to break through to the Universe Venerable realm so quickly!"

"Yes! Teacher was already very close to the Cosmic Venerable realm, but Teacher hasn't broken through yet, while Junior Brother Qingshan has already broken through!"

"Actually, this is not surprising, after all, Junior Brother Qingshan's strength had already surpassed that of our teacher before!"

……

Even after entering the living room of the mansion, Lu Qingshan could still hear the discussions of his senior brothers and sisters.

Although his current strength far surpasses that of Lei Huanwang, he will never forget the help Lei Huanwang gave him.

Moreover, if he hadn't become a disciple of King Lei Huan, he wouldn't have known Venerable Yao Guang, let alone become a disciple of Master Bing Feng.

"teacher!"

Upon entering the living room, Lu Qingshan quickly saw Lei Huanwang sitting in the main seat.

Lei Huanwang was clearly surprised to see Lu Qingshan.

After all, he and Tongye Wang had only just left Lu Qingshan's residence, and Lu Qingshan should have many things to deal with at this time.

Thinking of this, Lei Huanwang took out fine wine and delicacies and asked with a smile, "Qingshan, why don't you go and do your own things? How come you have time to come to your master's place?"

"Of course I'm here to mooch a drink from you, teacher!"

Lu Qingshan walked to the table and sat down, then said with a smile, "Teacher, you and Senior Sister had a good time drinking at my place before, so you can't be stingy this time!"

"The wine here can't compare to yours, the renowned Venerable One of Myriad Realms!"

Lei Huanwang chuckled and teased, "But your master does indeed have a bottle of fine wine that has been treasured for billions of epochs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Huanwang waved his hand and took out a bottle of wine that exuded a cold aura and looked like amber.

"This bottle of 'Mountain and Sea Calamity' was purchased by your master after he mastered the art of time stopping and passed the twentieth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge!"

Lei Huanwang quickly said, "Back then, when I was full of pride, I spent a full 10 billion Chaos Units to buy this bottle of Mountain and Sea Calamity. At the same time, I made up my mind to drink this fine wine again when I stepped into the Universe Venerable realm!"

"It's a pity that countless years have passed, but your master has never been able to take that final step!"

"Fortunately, I took in such a good disciple as you. Now that you have entered the realm of the Universe Venerable, it can be said that you have helped me fulfill half of my dream!"

"Today, you and I, master and disciple, will share half a bottle of wine. We'll keep the other half to see if I'll have the chance to reach the realm of a Universe Venerable in the future!"

After saying this, Lei Huanwang opened the wine bottle and filled Lu Qingshan's wine glass without waiting for Lu Qingshan to stop him.

"This……"

Looking at the wine in his glass, Lu Qingshan quickly raised his glass and said, "Teacher, you will definitely reach the realm of a Universe Venerable!"

"Haha, then I'll take your good wishes, Aoyama!"

Lei Huanwang laughed heartily, then picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Qingshan also downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then looked at Lei Huanwang and said, "Teacher, I have another matter to discuss with you today."

"Oh?"

Lei Huanwang immediately became interested, and then asked with a smile, "Qingshan, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, then waved his hand...

Suddenly, an ancient battle armor appeared in mid-air, radiating astonishing pressure, entirely purple-gold in color, with countless secret patterns flowing across its surface. It was the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor that Lu Qingshan had just removed the divine power imprint from.

"Qingshan, what's wrong with you...?"

Lei Huanwang quickly stood up, looking at the precious armor in front of him with great surprise.

"Teacher, this precious armor is now of no use to me!"

Lu Qingshan respectfully said, "Moreover, now that I have broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, I will inevitably provoke some enemies at the Cosmic Venerable realm in the future. Teacher, you are my teacher, and my future enemies may target you. At that time, this precious armor can also help you. I hope you will not refuse!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang fell silent.

He was well aware of the immense value of a precious suit of armor.

In fact, even if he accumulated wealth over countless years, it wouldn't be enough to exchange for a single piece of precious armor!

But now, Lu Qingshan has so easily delivered a precious suit of armor to him.

only……

"Qingshan!"

After a moment of silence, King Lei Huan finally spoke, "You should keep this precious armor for yourself!"

"Although I haven't reached the level of a Cosmic Venerable, I still have some understanding of powerful individuals at that level!"

"You may no longer need this precious armor, but you can still use it to exchange for other treasures that suit you!"

"I have accepted your kindness!"

Lei Huanwang looked at Lu Qingshan and smiled, "But you have just broken through and there are still many places where you need to spend resources, so I will not accept this treasure!"

"As for the danger you mentioned, I care even less about it!"

"Firstly, I will be cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City for a period of time; secondly, even if you do provoke an enemy and they kill me, the clan's higher-ups will still reverse time and space to resurrect me!"

Upon hearing Lei Huanwang's words, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "Teacher, please rest assured. This time, I have become a disciple of Master Bingfeng, and Master Bingfeng has bestowed upon me many resources!"

"This precious armor is nothing more than a drop in the ocean to me; it's completely insignificant!"

At this point, fearing that Lei Huanwang wouldn't believe him, Lu Qingshan simply waved his hand and revealed all the treasures he possessed.

Seeing that Lei Huanwang was about to say something, Lu Qingshan left behind the Thunder Dragon Heaven-Shaking Armor, then bowed and said, "Master, this disciple has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan stepped out and disappeared in front of Lei Huanwang.

Watching Lu Qingshan's figure disappear, Lei Huanwang fell silent again.

Having cultivated for many years, how could he not know that it was just Lu Qingshan's excuse?

"My disciple..."

"Ugh!"

Lei Huanwang sighed helplessly, and then a wisp of immortal divine power emanated from him and seeped into the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor.

After completing the recognition process, King Lei Huan quickly put on the precious armor and headed directly towards the residence of King Jing Lei, which was not far away.

He needs to go and talk to an old friend about his 'helplessness'!
　Do you have any recommendations for the next chat group members? I'm looking for something brief, something like that. I've already thought of two: one to focus on (helping the protagonist improve), and one to briefly describe (for farming points). But since I'm considering joining four worlds at the same time, I also want to write two brief descriptions of worlds for farming points. Does anyone have any recommendations (like low-level, well-known, and interesting TV drama worlds)?
