Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 270 New Road
After collecting all the treasures, including the Sun and Moon Qiankun Sword, Lu Qingshan was about to leave the human race's treasure vault when he suddenly saw the Beast God Inheritance Token among the special resources.

"The Beast God's inheritance order?"

Upon seeing the Beast God Inheritance Token, Lu Qingshan's heart stirred slightly.

The disciple he initially took in, Streich, became an extremely rare Black Warrior among the human race. He then used the blood of the Beast God to elevate his own life gene level to a hundred times the limit of ordinary life in the universe, even surpassing ordinary special life. This is why, despite not having very strong comprehension, he was granted a Beast God Inheritance Token with the lightning attribute by the human race.

After cultivating within the Ancestral God Cult for over twenty million years, Straitch passed the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge, but he has yet to pass the twentieth level.

Lu Qingshan had previously paid attention to some of Strachey's situation. The reason he was able to quickly pass through the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven was entirely because he received a third level of Beast God inheritance in the Ancestral God Sect.

However, in the years that followed, if Strachey wanted to receive the inheritance of the Beast God again, he would need to defeat many other Beast God inheritors of the same level in the glorious world of the Ancestral God Cult and accumulate one hundred glory points.

So far, Straitch has only accumulated 6 Glory Points, which is still a long way from the 100 Glory Points required to receive the Beast God's inheritance.

"The guidance from the Beast God's legacy far surpasses the effect of comprehending the Chaos Stele!"

At this moment, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but recall something he had thought about before: "I am currently progressing very slowly in comprehending the fundamental laws of space. Perhaps I could try cultivating the Path of the Beast God!"

"I remember that in the original story, the ninth disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Venerable Golden Axe, once cultivated Herodo's Seven Transformations of Divine Evolution. However, Herodo has not yet perished, and the Seven Transformations of Divine Evolution has not yet fallen into the hands of the human race, so Venerable Golden Axe naturally has no way to cultivate it!"

"With the help of the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group, I will definitely be able to gain more when I receive the inheritance of the Beast God's Way in the Ancestral God Sect. Maybe I can take this opportunity to quickly improve my strength!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan's gaze quickly settled on the 'Thunder Time' Beast God Inheritance Token in the treasure vault: "Moreover, the price of five hundred treasure points is not unbearable for me. Even if I fail, it won't matter!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was about to directly exchange for a 'Thunder Beast God Inheritance Token', he suddenly discovered that exchanging for this special resource required applying to the clan in advance and then passing an assessment before he could exchange it.

After all, treasures like the Beast God Inheritance Token are relatively rare even in the human race's treasury, so the human race naturally prioritizes providing them to those who have talent in the Path of the Beast God.

"Do I need to apply?"

After reading the information about applying for the Beast God Inheritance Token, Lu Qingshan quickly thought to himself, "I haven't cultivated the Path of the Beast God before, so exchanging for this Beast God Inheritance Token will be quite troublesome. It seems I still need to go find Master Ice Peak!"

With that in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly left the clan's treasure trove.

But just as he was preparing to head to the Ice Peak Lord's residence...

"Qingshan!"

The Radiant Venerable, clad in silver-white armor, quickly arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence halfway up Thunder Island.

"Senior Brother Yaoguang?"

Upon sensing the arrival of the person, Lu Qingshan quickly stood up and went out to greet them with a smile.

"Brother!"

As Lu Qingshan greeted Venerable Yaoguang at the gate, he invited him into the mansion while saying with a smile, "It's been a while since you've been here. What brings you here today?"

"Hahaha!"

As Venerable Yaoguang followed Lu Qingshan into the living room of the mansion, he said with a smile, "Qingshan, you look so relaxed. It seems that you didn't lose too many treasures when you fell to the hands of that demon clan's Venerable Suojin!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan's expression faltered slightly, before he quickly replied, "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to have heard about it so soon!"

"I just heard about this from Venerable Ning Shuang!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "She said that you, Venerable Tianfeng, and Venerable Tiequan all perished at the hands of that demon clan's Venerable Suojin. She, Venerable Guiyi, and Venerable Tushen arrived together, but Venerable Suojin managed to escape unscathed!"

"I came here immediately after I heard about this!"

As a disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak, Venerable Yaoguang naturally knew that the Lord of Ice Peak would prepare a treasure for each of his disciples.

If Lu Qingshan loses the treasure bestowed upon him by the Lord of Ice Peak because of this fall, the loss will be enormous, and it may not be possible to recover it even in the long years to come.

Venerable Yaoguang was worried that such a thing would happen, so he rushed over as soon as he learned of it.

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother!"

Lu Qingshan and Venerable Yaoguang had already arrived at the living room of the mansion. After the two were seated as host and guest, Lu Qingshan first waved to Venerable Yaoguang to serve him fine wine and delicacies. Then he raised his glass and said, "My losses this time are not too great. It's just that I've put all the savings I've accumulated over the past period into the market!"

"That's alright!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Yaoguang quickly nodded and said, "Since the loss is not significant, Junior Brother, with your ability to create clones, you will probably be able to make up for this loss in no time!"

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, the biggest losses this time were to Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Tiequan. Their fall not only resulted in the loss of many treasures, but they will also have to pay a huge price to be resurrected by the higher-ups of their clans in the future! Especially Venerable Tiequan, he has lost the God-Slaying Palace that he borrowed from Venerable Tushen. It will probably take him a very long time to pay off his debt in the future!"

"Yes!"

Venerable Yaoguang picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He then sighed and said, "I've heard about this too! However, Venerable Tushen and Venerable Tiequan have a very good relationship. In fact, Venerable Tiequan even saved Venerable Tushen's life before he rose to power. In addition, Venerable Tushen is quite wealthy, so it's unlikely that he would go after Venerable Tiequan for a debt!"

"Moreover, venturing into the universe is inherently full of uncertainties; both danger and opportunity can arise at any time!"

"If the Demon Clan's Venerable Lock Gold hadn't possessed palace-type and domain-type treasures, the three of you might have escaped this time! It's a pity that Venerable Lock Gold has obtained so many precious treasures from somewhere; he'll probably be even more troublesome in the future. Even I would have to avoid him if I encountered him!"

"Is there really no one who can deal with that Venerable Locked Gold?" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but ask.

Although he knew it would be difficult for him to take revenge on the Venerable Lock Gold in the short term, he was still somewhat unwilling.

"It's hard!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "Venerable Suojin has obtained a palace-type treasure this time. There are only two ways to deal with him in a short time: one is a soul attack, and the other is a higher-level sealing treasure!"

"But since he possesses such astonishing wealth, he must at least be able to exchange it for a top-tier soul-type treasure. In addition, his own will is very strong. Among the many cosmic venerables of our human race, there should be no one who can kill him through a soul attack!"

"In this way, once the Venerable Locked Gold hides inside a palace-type treasure, the only option left is suppression! And to suppress a palace-type treasure, an even more precious sealing treasure is needed!"

"Among our human race, there are definitely no more than twenty Universe Venerables who possess this level of sealing treasure. Among them, the only ones who can suppress, or even force the Locked Gold Venerable to hide in a palace-type supreme treasure, are probably the three top Universe Overlords, including the Ancestral Tree Venerable!"

"Perhaps in the future, when the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace becomes powerful, he will also have the opportunity to do this!"

"As for the others, the only way to deal with Venerable Lock Gold is to gang up on him! But Venerable Lock Gold isn't stupid; if he encounters danger, he'll quickly seek help from his own clansmen!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

In this vast universe, killing a cosmic overlord is an extremely difficult task, let alone a top cosmic overlord like Venerable Lock Gold.

Although Luo Feng easily killed many cosmic overlords in the original work, he already possessed the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord at that time, and the ones he killed were those cosmic overlords whose divine bodies were small and who did not have palace-type treasures to protect them.

"Qingshan, there's no need for you to be so upset!"

Noticing Lu Qingshan's expression, Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "Although it's difficult for us to kill Venerable Suojin, his strength isn't even the most outstanding in the vast universe!"

"Not to mention the supreme rulers of the universe, even the top cosmic overlords could easily crush or even kill him! And there are all sorts of dangerous environments in the universe; who knows when that Venerable Locked Gold might perish!"

"And once he perishes and loses his treasures, his strength will naturally be much weaker!"

“I understand!” Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

Afterwards, Lu Qingshan chatted with Venerable Yaoguang for a while before Venerable Yaoguang took his leave. Just as Lu Qingshan was about to head to the Lord of Ice Peak, his disciple Hoggs suddenly walked in.

“Teacher!” Hoggs greeted respectfully.

"Hmm?" Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback when he saw Hoggs appear.

It's one thing for Venerable Yaoguang to know that his avatar had perished at the hands of Venerable Suojin, but surely Hoggs had heard about it too.

"Hoggs, what brings you here to my door?" Lu Qingshan asked quickly, though he was quite puzzled.

"Teacher, it's like this!"

Hoggs quickly replied, "King Luo Tian and King Luo Xia, along with a group of junior brothers and sisters at the King level, have found me and wish to request an audience with you, Master!"

Upon hearing Hoggs's words, Lu Qingshan quickly realized what was going on.

Luo Tianwang and Luoxia Wang are both top-tier experts from the Virtual Universe Company lineage, and are also the strongest disciples of Tianfeng Venerable and Tiequan Venerable.

This time, Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Tiequan both perished at the hands of Venerable Suojin of the demon race. Naturally, the divine power in the tokens they left on these disciples would dissipate.

The two disciples, Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Lu Qingshan, had been traveling together for some time, and some of their disciples must know about this.

Now that Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Tiequan have both perished, only Lu Qingshan is still alive, so naturally they want to come to Lu Qingshan to find out what's going on.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly sighed and said, "Fine! Hoggs, just have them all come over now!"

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

Soon after, Hoggs sent emails to King Luoxia and King Luotian. After receiving the emails, King Luoxia and King Luotian quickly arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence with their fellow disciples.

"Greetings, Venerable One of All Realms!"

Upon arriving at Lu Qingshan's residence, King Luo Tian and King Luo Xia, along with their fellow disciples, bowed and greeted him.

Looking at the dozen or so figures in front of him, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Tiequan have cultivated for an extremely long time, and naturally have many disciples. These dozen or so figures are only a part of them, and Clement, who recently became a disciple of Venerable Tianfeng, is also among them.

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then said, "Please sit down!"

Upon hearing this, King Luo Tian, ​​King Luo Xia, and the others stood up and respectfully sat down in front of Lu Qingshan.

"I understand why you've come here!"

Lu Qingshan quickly spoke up, saying, "Tianfeng and Tiequan did indeed perish while exploring the cosmic secret realm with me. My clone also perished, but it was only because of the clone's abilities that it survived!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Luo Tianwang and Luoxiawang, who were the leaders among the dozen or so people, were not too surprised.

Their cultivation time was also extremely long. Long before Lu Qingshan became an immortal, they already possessed the combat power of the King-level limit.

Later, Lu Qingshan earned an invincible reputation as a king on the battlefield outside the domain, and they naturally heard about it, so they also knew that Lu Qingshan had the ability to create clones.

"May I ask, Venerable One..."

The leader, Luo Tianwang, suddenly spoke respectfully and asked, "Who exactly killed our teacher and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan did not answer immediately, but shook his head and said, "These are things you cannot get involved in. Even if you knew, it would only cause you more trouble!"

"I think you should go back and wait for your teacher to be resurrected by the clan's higher-ups through time reversal. If Tianfeng and Tiequan think it's okay to tell you, they will definitely tell you after they are resurrected!"

After saying this, Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, you may all leave!"

"Yes, Venerable One!" King Luo Tian and King Luo Xia quickly and respectfully replied. Then, under the guidance of Hoggs, they led their fellow disciples at the King level out of the mansion.

Clement, who was following behind Luo Tianwang, was filled with endless emotion upon witnessing this scene.

More than 100,000 epochs ago, he performed amazingly in the Cosmic Humanity Peak Genius Battle held by Lu Qingshan, and even attracted the appearance of two Cosmic Venerables, Lu Qingshan and Venerable Tianfeng, to take him as a disciple.

After much deliberation, he refused Lu Qingshan's offer to take him as a disciple and instead became a disciple of Venerable Tianfeng.

He originally thought that with his talent and under the guidance of Venerable Tianfeng, he would definitely be able to smoothly enter the level of the Universe Venerable, just like those dazzling geniuses in the history of the human race.

But Clement did not expect that the path of cultivation would become more and more difficult as he progressed.

Because he had grasped the essence of the fundamental laws of time from the very beginning, passing through the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven and elevating his understanding of the laws to the level of a king was relatively easy for him.

However, after raising his understanding of the laws to the King level, his once-proud cultivation speed became extremely ordinary.

After all, most of those who can become immortal kings have already comprehended the essence of the fundamental laws of space or time before becoming immortal.

Clement's talent was unparalleled among the geniuses of his generation, and even among the many geniuses of his time.

However, compared to all the immortal kings in human history, it seems rather ordinary.

Up until now, he has only just passed the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

Moreover, after becoming an immortal god, Clement also perished once during his adventures on the outer battlefields.

However, as an immortal king, he was naturally able to be resurrected by the high-ranking members of the human race through time reversal, but he also incurred a huge debt to the race as a result, and even now, he has not yet repaid one-tenth of this huge debt.

Therefore, Clement knew very well that even if his teacher, Venerable Tianfeng, could be resurrected by the higher-ups of the human race through time reversal, he would definitely incur a large amount of debt because of the resurrection.

Lu Qingshan, who possessed the ability to create clones, only lost some treasures!

Now, Lu Qingshan had dismissed Luo Tianwang and Luoxia Wang, who were much stronger than him, with just a few casual words. Seeing this, Clement felt a little strange.

He didn't regret not becoming Lu Qingshan's disciple back then, but rather felt that he hadn't considered things comprehensively enough.

He originally thought that Lu Qingshan's cultivation time was too short, and that his strength and status should not be comparable to Venerable Tianfeng.

Now, after cultivating for over 100,000 epochs and gaining a better understanding of many things within the Virtual Universe Company, Clement has a completely different perspective on these matters.

"The Venerable One of Myriad Realms is a disciple of the great Lord of Ice Peaks, and his status within the company is even higher than that of his teacher!"

Clement couldn't help but think to himself, "Moreover, the Venerable of Myriad Realms has the ability to create clones, and he doesn't have many disciples. If I had become his disciple back then, I probably would have received more attention!"

Thinking of this, Clement couldn't help but look at Hoggs, who was leading them away.

According to the information he learned from several senior brothers, when Hoggs first broke through to become an immortal, he was just an immortal military lord, and did not even have the immortality that a marquis-level person could possess.

Such talent is hundreds of thousands of light-years away from his ability to become an immortal king the moment he breaks through.

But now, Hoggs is not much weaker than him in terms of strength alone, and his status is much higher. Even powerful figures like King Luo Tian and King Luo Xia, who are at the pinnacle of the King-level, treat him with great respect.

Faced with such a huge gap, he naturally felt somewhat bitter.
