Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 247 Ineffective Passage of Time

Inside the living room of King Lei Huan's mansion in Chaos City.

"Qingshan!"

Lei Huanwang smiled at Lu Qingshan, then asked with a smile, "How come you, such a busy man, have time to come to your teacher's place again?"

You should know that the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor that Lu Qingshan gave him before made him save face in front of his friend Thunder King!

The fact that he took Lu Qingshan as his disciple for such a short time is even more remarkable.

He and Jing Lei Wang had previously attended Lu Qingshan's Venerable Banquet, and both of them were deeply moved upon their return.

After all, as Lu Qingshan's teacher, although he had passed away unexpectedly for a period of time, he could be said to have watched Lu Qingshan grow up step by step.

"teacher!"

Lu Qingshan picked up the wine that Lei Huanwang had just taken out and drank it all in one gulp. Then he smiled and said, "This disciple has obtained a treasure by chance this time, so I brought it to show you, Master. I don't know if it can be of any help to you!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang's expression, which had been all smiles, instantly turned serious.

"No!"

Lei Huanwang quickly said seriously, "Qingshan, I know you respect me, but you have just broken through to the Universe Venerable realm and there are many places where you need to consume resources!"

"I've already shamelessly accepted the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor, but I will absolutely not accept any other treasures from you. Even if you force me to leave them here, I will return them to you!"

Upon hearing Lei Huanwang's words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh.

Although he had the help of the All-Heavens Chat Group, being able to become a disciple of King Lei Huan was definitely a fortunate thing on his cultivation path.

In this vast universe, many powerful beings recruit disciples not only to cultivate future generations for the human race, but also because they generally think that their disciples might be able to help them in the future. This is precisely why they are more willing to take geniuses as their disciples.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan had spent so long in the Immortal God stage that he was very clear about how precious a treasure was to an Immortal King.

Don't be fooled by how easily Lu Qingshan obtained the rather precious Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor; it was a gift from Venerable Radiant Light!

The most valuable treasure that Lu Qingshan obtained through his own efforts was the Purple Thunder Skywing Sword, which he acquired at the super auction in Hongmeng City.

Not to mention that the Purple Thunder Skywing Sword is much less valuable than the Thunder Dragon Sky-Shaking Armor, even when he won the Purple Thunder Skywing Sword, he borrowed a large sum of money from King Qingping.

Even so, it's only because Lu Qingshan has an avatar that he can acquire wealth relatively easily on the battlefield outside the domain.

For an ordinary, top-tier expert, even accumulating enough wealth to acquire the Purple Thunder Skywing Sword through auction would be an extremely difficult task.

Just like Qingping Wang of the intelligence department, a powerful figure who is almost invincible and also the most capable assistant of the Shadow Monarch, he still hasn't been able to accumulate enough wealth to exchange for a powerful armor.

But now, even though Lu Qingshan is about to offer him a great treasure, Lei Huan Wang is the one who wants to push it away!
How could he not respect such a teacher?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said, "Teacher, this time I'm not here to bring you a priceless treasure, but rather a treasure that can help with your cultivation. Perhaps it can be of some help to your breakthrough!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang immediately became interested.

If there's anything he cares about most right now, it's definitely breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm!

At this moment, Lu Qingshan quickly took out a drop of the Dew of Creation from the red envelope in the chat group.

Although the Dew of Creation no longer had much effect on him, Lu Qingshan had not refused when Han Li used it to exchange for resources.

At that time, he naturally thought of making it for his close friends and family.

Lei Huanwang was his teacher, and he had been stuck at the peak of the King-level for a long time, so he was naturally the first person he thought of.

If this Heavenly Creation Dew can truly help King Lei Huan break through to the Universe Venerable realm, then it will be a case of making the best use of it.

hum!
A drop of green liquid emanating a mysterious aura instantly appeared in front of King Lei Huan.

"This kind of breath..."

Sensing the profound aura emanating from the Dew of Creation, King Lei Huan was quite surprised: "It's actually the aura of the fundamental law of time! Qingshan, where did you get this treasure? I don't think I've ever heard of it before!"

"I only obtained this treasure by chance!"

Lu Qingshan chuckled and said, "I thought this treasure might be useful to you, Teacher, so I brought it over!"

Hearing this, Lei Huanwang did not press the matter further.

After all, Lu Qingshan has now entered the realm of the Universe Venerable, and his authority and status among the human race far exceed his. It is only natural that he can obtain some treasures that Lu Qingshan has never heard of.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan quickly said, "Teacher, this treasure will continue to dissipate. If you use your immortal divine power to completely envelop it, it will slightly slow down the rate of dissipation!"

"So that's it!"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang nodded slightly, and then quickly followed Lu Qingshan's instructions, using his immortal divine power to completely envelop the drop of the Heavenly Creation Dew.

After a while...

Wow!
Lei Huanwang unleashed his immortal divine power and once again sent the Dew of Creation to Lu Qingshan.

"Qingshan!"

Lei Huanwang smiled and said, "This is indeed a very precious treasure. Its effects even surpass all the treasures I used in my previous attempts to comprehend the fundamental laws of time!"

"If it were a genius who had just begun cultivating, using this treasure would definitely greatly accelerate their cultivation speed, but I am currently stuck at the last step, so this treasure is no longer of any use to me!"

"This……"

Hearing Lei Huanwang's words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, upon closer reflection, he realized that this was actually quite normal.

After all, when he first obtained the Dew of Creation, its effect was only to allow him to more clearly comprehend the fundamental laws of time, making him almost on par with a World Lord.

The reason he was able to comprehend all the essence of the fundamental laws of time in just a million years is probably because his comprehension improved during the upgrade process in the chat group.

If his talent was a notch below that of ordinary members of the Doomsday Secret Realm before he broke through to become an immortal god, then after his comprehension was improved, it was at least comparable to that of ordinary members of the Primordial Secret Realm.

As for his subsequent breakthroughs, even reaching the level of a Universe Venerable, it was mainly due to the blessing effect of enlightenment; the Heavenly Creation Dew only played a supporting role.

To put it simply, on his path of cultivation, the Heavenly Creation Dew acts as an acceleration, while the Enlightenment Blessing function helps him break through bottlenecks.

In the world of Swallowed Star, for immortal gods whose lifespan is practically eternal, the speed of cultivation is not the most important thing; rather, bottlenecks are the most difficult to overcome.

Whether they are immortal gods, cosmic lords, or supreme cosmic masters and the strongest beings in the universe, most of them are stuck at a bottleneck, which prevents them from making any further breakthroughs in their strength.

But Lu Qingshan wouldn't be bothered by this!

"Qingshan, you don't need to do this!"

As various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Lei Huanwang quickly said, "I'm stuck at the last step now, and most of my external treasures are basically useless!"

Whether I can break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm depends mainly on whether I have the opportunity to take this final step!

"Now that you have broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, there is nothing more I can do to help you. But don't waste too much time and energy on my affairs; just focus on your own business first!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded, regaining his senses. Of course, that's what he said, but in his heart he didn't really believe it.

Lei Huanwang said that all external things are useless, simply because of limited knowledge.

Just like the True King in the original work, wasn't he able to break through to the Universe Venerable realm because of an external object like the Beast God Inheritance Token?
Moreover, after Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of Duan Donghe, Zhenyan Wang became the third universe master of the human race!
With Zhenyan Wang's talent, it would be extremely difficult for him to achieve this on his own.

After all, not to mention the cosmic overlords of the human race, even a high-level Venerable like Venerable Fiery Erosion has much higher talent than him.

Yet, the True King was able to become the third Lord of the Universe after the human race received the inheritance of the Broken East River. What else could this be but the help of external forces?
Lu Qingshan didn't have that ability at the time, simply because his strength wasn't enough!
With this in mind, Lu Qingshan naturally stopped worrying about it.

After chatting with Lei Huanwang for a while, Lu Qingshan quickly took his leave.

……

After leaving Lei Huanwang's mansion, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his own residence and then pondered his next plan in the quiet room within.

"My focus in training from now on will definitely be on improving my combat techniques!"

Lu Qingshan picked up a glass of fine wine, took a sip, and then thought to himself, "As long as I can create a fourth-level peak combat technique (including swordsmanship, soul attack techniques, and movement techniques) based on my current understanding of the laws, my strength will definitely increase a lot!"

"Unfortunately, after this breakthrough, the number of points required to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function has also increased significantly!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but look at his points in the chat group: 194568!

Compared to others in the chat group, this is definitely a huge amount of points.

Even if all the people in the chat group accumulated more points together, it probably wouldn't exceed 190,000!

Before breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, these 190,000 points would be enough for Lu Qingshan to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function twice, and there would even be some left over;

But now, even the Enlightenment Blessing function cannot be activated!

"Fortunately, a few new people have joined the chat group recently!"

Looking at his points balance in the chat group, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Especially Gao Yao and Li Yunlong, their worlds are resource-scarce, and they will definitely have to exchange their points for many resources from me in the future!"

"It will definitely be much easier for me to accumulate points in the future than before!"

"Besides that, I also need to study the fundamental laws of space. I might as well see if there are any treasures in the worlds where the other members in the chat group are located that can help me study the fundamental laws of space!"

Actually, if Lu Qingshan could cultivate in other worlds, going to the Battle Through the Heavens world would be a good choice.

After all, the space in the Battle Through the Heavens world is quite thin. A mere Dou Zun powerhouse is enough to connect two distant spatial nodes and then create a spatial wormhole.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the chat group's level is too low, many members can only cultivate in their original world. Once they cross over to another world, they are unable to continue cultivating.

"Although I cannot cultivate across realms, other worlds also possess treasures and opportunities that can accelerate my comprehension of the fundamental laws of space!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "If I have the chance, I should have them collect some for me and see if it has any effect!"

"Forget it, I'll stop thinking about this for now!"

Lu Qingshan put down his wine glass and thought to himself, "I haven't seriously cultivated since I broke through to the Universe Venerable level. I'll go into seclusion for a while to see what the cultivation speed of a Venerable level is really like!"

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly prepared everything and began his first closed-door cultivation at the Universe Venerable stage.

The endless divine sea avatar naturally continued to swim in the water while cultivating in seclusion within the divine realm;
Lu Qingshan's true form remained in Chaos City, intending to diligently comprehend the fundamental laws of space.

As for the most powerful second clone, he stayed in his mansion on the continental headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company to cultivate in seclusion. At the same time, his consciousness was connected to the Virtual Universe. Under the guidance of his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, he created the fourth sword technique, movement technique, and soul attack method!
For a time, Lu Qingshan's three clones each performed their duties, while also maintaining close contact and tacit cooperation with each other.

And so time continued to flow by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly ten million years had passed.

Over the course of nearly ten million years, Lu Qingshan's three avatars have been working together to continuously improve themselves.

Unfortunately, after reaching the realm of the Universe Venerable, each step forward requires a great deal of time, so even if Lu Qingshan's three clones were cultivating at the same time, it would be unlikely that they could make amazing progress.

……

Virtual universe, atop Thunder Island.

This place is filled with endless chaotic energy, and within this chaotic energy, a very small number of palaces have been built.

These palaces are the residences of the most powerful figures in the Virtual Universe Company.

Inside one of the palaces belonging to the Lord of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan had already appeared in one of the training grounds.

At this moment, the scene inside the training ground has been transformed into a vast grassland, and in the central area of ​​this grassland, Lu Qingshan, wearing purple-gold armor, is facing off against a terrifying monster with three long black horns on its forehead.

This terrifying monster, which looks extremely ferocious, is the thousandth opponent set up by the Lord of Ice Peak for Lu Qingshan to create the fourth form of sword technique. It is a special life form, the Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast!
The life gene level of this Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast is not very high, only eighty times that of ordinary life in the universe, but its combat power is in no way inferior to those special life forms with life gene levels hundreds of times higher.

The reason why the Tri-Pierced Poisonous Scale Beast is able to possess such astonishing combat power is because its innate secret techniques are extremely powerful.

Over the long years, powerful beings from various races have attempted to possess this Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast, but after successfully possessing it, they discovered that they were unable to inherit its powerful innate secret techniques, resulting in their combat strength being far inferior to those special life forms with life gene levels hundreds of times higher.

Furthermore, since the most powerful Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast has already reached the realm of the Lord of the Universe and joined one of the top forces in the universe, very few people would target this Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast lineage.

"Roar!!"

Bathed in endless dim light, the triangular-shaped poisonous beast was perched in the sky above the grassland, roaring madly in the direction of Lu Qingshan.

"Time Slash!"

As soon as they saw it, endless purple threads spread out from the purple-gold longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand, and then they gathered together in the void, faintly forming a giant sword phantom that exuded a terrifying pressure.

This sword technique is the fourth sword technique he created using the complete laws of time. Its power is far greater than the three sword techniques he created during his immortal god stage.

"Roar!!"

In the distance, the triangular venomous beast shrouded in endless dark light flashed and instantly traversed layers of space, then pounced directly towards Lu Qingshan's location. Even the longest black horn on its forehead seemed to pierce towards Lu Qingshan like lightning.

"Kill me!"

With a thought, Lu Qingshan unleashed a massive sword phantom in front of him, carrying immense power as it slashed diagonally towards the triangular poisonous beast.

Rumble!
The giant sword phantom and the terrifyingly powerful horn of the triangular poisonous beast collided violently in mid-air.

In the previous battles between Lu Qingshan and this Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast, the beast was initially able to repel Lu Qingshan.

However, as Lu Qingshan's swordsmanship continued to improve, he was able to match or even suppress the Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast.

And this time...

boom!
With a muffled thud, the phantom of the giant sword actually severed the strongest single horn on the triangular venomous beast's body, and then stabbed at its throat at an incredible angle.

puff!

The giant sword phantom, carrying immense power, instantly pierced the throat of the Triangular Poisonous Scale Beast.

After that, the Tri-Pierced Poisonous Scale Beast completely lost its life force!
