Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 273 Inheritance and Progress
After bidding farewell to the rock-type cosmic venerable who guarded the palace of the Purple Thorn Island lord, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to the area that the Spirit Wind God had chosen for him on Purple Thorn Island and began to build his residence.

"rise!"

Lu Qingshan pointed to the open space in front of him.

Wow!

A rather exquisite-looking mansion instantly rose from the ground.

Lu Qingshan didn't put too much thought into this mansion, so it was built exactly like his mansion on the virtual universe company headquarters continent, just scaled down.

Many powerful individuals from the human race and the Hong Alliance have built their residences in this area, so Lu Qingshan was discovered by the human race and some powerful individuals from the Hong Alliance who lived in the surrounding area as soon as he began building his residence.

Those little guys at the level of immortal gods have cultivated for much longer than Lu Qingshan, but due to the difference in strength, they can only come over to say hello and become familiar with each other.

On the contrary, a very small number of cosmic venerables and Lu Qingshan's disciple Streich came and stayed for a period of time.

It must be said that there are very few cosmic venerables among the human race who have achieved something in the path of the beast god; there are only twelve in total.

Of course, these twelve cosmic venerables are all at the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God and the fifth level of the Path of the Beast God. As for those who have fully comprehended the fifth level of the Path of the Beast God, they have now become peripheral members of the Ancestral God Sect and no longer reside on this Purple Thorn Island.

After the mansion was completed, Lu Qingshan first had a short gathering with the human race and the beast god inheritors living on Zijing Island within the Hong Alliance before returning to the huge square in front of the main palace of Zijing Island.

When Lu Qingshan arrived at the Ancestral God Sect, his greatest desire was to receive the inheritance of the Beast God.

Although he hasn't accumulated enough points to unlock the Enlightenment Enhancement feature in the chat group, he's only comprehending the simplest first level of the Beast God's Path, so there's no need to wait until he has enough points to unlock the Enlightenment Enhancement feature.

Think of it...

Wow!
Lu Qingshan stepped directly into the water curtain on the far left.

He saw the surrounding space and time shift, and then Lu Qingshan felt a terrifying pressure enveloping him.

This pressure even surpassed the pressure he felt when facing the Lord of Ice Peaks, and it even contained an astonishing soul pressure.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan had already entered the realm of the Universe Venerable, so it was naturally very easy for him to withstand the pressure that even the King-level Immortals could withstand.

“Is this the place of inheritance?”

Lu Qingshan looked around and saw that there was nothingness all around, and an endless black mist shrouded the area.

In the void not far away, a meteorite was suspended, and on the meteorite was the figure of a powerful being with a wolf's head and a human body, wearing purple armor.

It was Venerable Jiufeng who received the inheritance of the Spirit Wind God General along with Lu Qingshan, and ultimately received the complete inheritance of the Spirit Wind God General, causing the inheritance site to collapse directly.

Although Venerable Jiufeng had not yet inherited the position of Divine General, he was still considered an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect and naturally would not reside on Zijing Island. Therefore, he had not seen Lu Qingshan before.

"Myriad Realms!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, Venerable Jiufeng quickly smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come to the Ancestral God Sect as well. I was quite surprised when I received the message from the clan!"

"I originally intended to go directly to your residence to find you, but since I figured you would definitely come to this place of inheritance, I decided to wait for you here!"

"Jiufeng!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trouble!"

"Hahaha!"

Venerable Jiufeng quickly smiled and said, "Our human race already has very few strong individuals in this Ancestral Mystic Realm. Now that you, from the Myriad Realms, have arrived, the overall strength of our human race can be greatly enhanced!"

The number of strong individuals among the human race in the Ancestral God Sect is already extremely small, and most of them are already at the King level or Immortal level. The arrival of a Universe Venerable like Lu Qingshan, who possesses the ability to create clones, will definitely enhance the overall strength of the human race within the Ancestral God Sect.

"Let me first introduce this Land of Inheritance to you. This Land of Inheritance was naturally born from the primordial universe. It is incredibly mysterious and is definitely one of the most important strongholds of the Ancestral God Sect!"

Venerable Jiufeng quickly explained, "Every time you inheritors of the Beast Gods receive your inheritance, we will first check your progress in comprehending the laws of fusion."

"The eight kinds of Beast God inheritances are divided into seven levels. If you have comprehended the first two levels but not the third, then when you receive the inheritance, you will see the third level of inheritance; if you have fully comprehended the third level, then when you receive the inheritance, you will see the fourth level of the Beast God Path!"

At this point, Venerable Jiufeng looked at Lu Qingshan with some curiosity: "I wonder which level of the Myriad Realms you are?"

"I've only just grasped the first level!" Lu Qingshan quickly and calmly replied.

"The first level?" As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared in Venerable Jiufeng's eyes.

It should be noted that most of the beast god inheritors who came to the Ancestral God Sect had some foundation, so there were no beast god inheritors at the first level.

If Lu Qingshan were only at the King-level Immortal realm, Venerable Jiufeng might have advised him to give up and focus on comprehending the higher-level fundamental laws.

However, now that Lu Qingshan has reached the level of a Universe Venerable, he naturally wouldn't have such thoughts.

"Actually, the first level is fine too!"

Venerable Jiufeng quickly said, "Myriad Realms, you have already fully comprehended the fundamental laws of time and lightning. I imagine you should be able to comprehend the first three levels of the Path of the Beast God very soon!"

"You should go and receive the inheritance first. All you need to do is enter the surrounding black mist."

“Alright!” Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and then flew directly into the surrounding black mist.

And just as Lu Qingshan flew into the black mist...

boom!
An incredible and strange power instantly acted on Lu Qingshan's entire body. Even though Lu Qingshan's will was extremely strong, he was unable to resist this strange power.

At this moment, his body seemed to have completely lost control, and he stood there dumbly in mid-air, his right hand fingers quickly and gently extending.

"Om!!"

Strands of divine power emanated from Lu Qingshan's hands, then quickly condensed into law-based runes.

One after another, secret patterns of laws emerged from it, and the entire fusion law of 'lightning and time' began to be demonstrated uncontrollably in Lu Qingshan's hands, starting from the most basic level and progressing from the fundamental to the profound.

As time passed, increasingly complex laws and runes appeared and intertwined, directly forming a world composed of laws and runes.

After a while, Lu Qingshan finally stopped.

At the same time, the mysterious power quickly left Lu Qingshan's body, but Lu Qingshan was able to clearly remember the scene of being controlled by this mysterious power to interpret the law of lightning fusion.

"What amazing special power!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

And at this time...

That mysterious power comes again.

"First level!"

A powerful voice resounded directly in Lu Qingshan's mind. Although Lu Qingshan did not understand this language at all, he could understand its meaning.

The majestic voice echoed in his mind, soon plunging him into a strange illusion.

In this illusion, the mysteries of Lei Shi's fusion with the Path of the Beast God were constantly revealed, as if a super strong person had directly instilled their understanding of the Path of the Beast God into his mind.

Within Lu Qingshan's divine realm, his endless divine sea avatars continuously comprehended the truth;

Even the original body, who had returned to Chaos City, was now earnestly studying in his mansion!

In this strange state, Lu Qingshan continued to gain insights.

With the help of this land of inheritance, countless mysteries concerning the fusion of thunder and time with the path of the beast god are revealed.

I don't know how much time passed...

That mysterious power finally dissipated once again.

The surrounding black mist seemed to repel him, directly expelling Lu Qingshan from the area.

"This land of inheritance truly lives up to its reputation as a special place born from the primordial universe; it is indeed incredibly wondrous!"

While being rejected, Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly, "I had already fully comprehended the fundamental laws of time and lightning, but when I received this inheritance, I not only made great progress in the law of lightning-time fusion, but I was also slightly touched by the two fundamental laws of lightning and time!"

"This is just my personal enlightenment on my own. If the enlightenment enhancement function is activated, wouldn't the effect be even more amazing?"

It should be noted that Lu Qingshan could freely adjust the duration of the blessing when activating the Enlightenment Blessing function.

In his research into his self-created secret techniques, he once extended the timeframe to a thousand or even ten thousand years. But even under these conditions, his cultivation speed far surpassed that of other Universe Venerables of the same level.

If the duration of the enlightenment blessing function were shortened to an hour, or even a few minutes, then his enlightenment within those few minutes would easily surpass that of the original ancestor and Luo Feng in the original work.

"Based on the information I've gathered before, and my feelings after receiving this inheritance, if I had enough points, even without Glory Points, I estimate I could quickly comprehend the first five levels of the Path of the Beast God through that inheritance opportunity after my breakthrough!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "When I become an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect, there might be other ways to obtain Glory Points. In that case, I might be able to rely on the Path of the Beast God to cultivate to the level of the Lord of the Universe sooner."

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Lu Qingshan came to the Ancestral God Sect to cultivate the Path of the Beast God.

After all, Lu Qingshan's current cultivation speed is undoubtedly extremely ordinary among the universe venerables. Even if his growth has no upper limit because of the chat group, he is still much weaker than a super genius like the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master.

Although his talent in the Path of the Beast God is not strong, the Path of the Beast God has an advantage that the Path of Time and Space does not have, namely the opportunity to inherit the Path of the Beast God within the Ancestral God Sect.

Generally speaking, it is relatively easier for a cosmic venerable to cultivate the Way of Space and Time than to cultivate the Way of the Beast God. However, the Way of the Beast God has the guidance of inheritance, so the speed is about the same.

However, this is based on the premise that it is difficult for cultivators of the Path of the Beast God to obtain Glory Points to unlock the opportunity for inheritance.

If a Beast God inheritor can obtain a large number of Glory Points like Luo Feng in the original work, cultivating the Path of the Beast God will naturally be very easy.

This is precisely why, in the original work, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race couldn't resist spending an astonishing amount of money to hire the strongest person in the universe to assassinate Luo Feng after learning that he had obtained hundreds of thousands of Glory Points.

Although Lu Qingshan couldn't obtain a large number of Glory Points like Luo Feng, he had the help of the Enlightenment Enhancement function. In this state, one inheritance he received was equivalent to ten or a hundred Beast God inheritances for others, and the effect was definitely amazing.

"Myriad Realms!"

When Venerable Jiufeng saw that Lu Qingshan's inheritance had ended, he quickly flew over and said with a smile, "This is your first time receiving an inheritance, so don't be fooled by the illusions here."

"Although this place of inheritance is a notch stronger than the Chaos Monument of our human race, it is not much different."

"Think back to how you felt when you first comprehended the Chaos Stele. Although this Inheritance Land will fully reveal the mysteries of the Fusion Law you cultivate, if you hadn't painstakingly comprehended the Path of the Beast God beforehand, you would have quickly forgotten it."

"This means that without the accumulation of knowledge over a long period of time, simply receiving a single inheritance will yield some benefits, but certainly not many!"

“I understand!” Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

However, this was not too important to him.

After all, he needs time to accumulate points in the chat group, and during this time, he can try to comprehend as much of the Path of the Beast God as possible.

When combined with the Land of Inheritance and the Enlightenment blessing function, the effect will be absolutely fantastic.

"Myriad Realms, there's one more thing I need to tell you!"

Venerable Jiufeng spoke again, saying, "The Beast God Inheritance is divided into seven levels. Although each level gives you inheritors a free opportunity to comprehend it, this is definitely not enough for you!"

"If you want to continue to receive additional inheritances, then the only opportunity is to enter the 'World of Glory'."

"In the world of Glory, you can gain Glory Points by defeating other inheritors of the same level, but you will also lose Glory Points if you lose! For every 100 Glory Points you accumulate, you can receive an additional inheritance."

"However, you are currently a first-level inheritor in the Myriad Realms, and there are no other Beast God inheritors at the same level as you on Purple Thorn Island. Therefore, if you want to gain Glory Points, you will have to wait until you make a breakthrough in the Path of the Beast God!"

“I understand!” Lu Qingshan nodded seriously.

"Now that the tradition has ended, it's time for us to leave."

Venerable Jiufeng quickly smiled and invited, "Myriad Realms, if you have nothing else to do later, why not come and sit at my place?"

Although Lu Qingshan's current strength is somewhat weaker than his own, he possesses great potential.

Especially since Lu Qingshan also possesses the ability to create clones, he is naturally willing to cultivate a good relationship with Lu Qingshan.

"Okay!"

Lu Qingshan immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "I have just finished receiving the inheritance, so I plan to return to my residence to cultivate in seclusion for a while. Once I finish my cultivation, I will definitely visit you, Jiufeng!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Jiufeng quickly smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you, Myriad Realms, at the mansion!"

“No problem!” Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

Next, Lu Qingshan returned to his residence and spent more than half a month in quiet meditation.

After he had fully absorbed all the gains from this inheritance, he went to the island of Venerable Jiufeng, located in the area covered by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Then Venerable Jiufeng invited some other peripheral members of the Ancestral God Cult from the human community and the Hong Alliance, including Hirodo, the leader of the Golden Horn Clan, and others...

Next, everyone held a small banquet at Venerable Jiufeng's residence. The banquet was a great success, and Lu Qingshan then got up to take his leave.

……

After leaving Venerable Jiufeng's residence, Lu Qingshan will soon arrive at his own residence on Zijing Island to cultivate in seclusion.

At this point, he had completely comprehended the first level of the Path of the Beast God. Naturally, he would first cultivate the second level of the Path of the Beast God before receiving the inheritance.

And so, time continued to pass.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qingshan had been cultivating on Zijing Island for thousands of years.

On this day, Lu Qingshan, who was cultivating in the quiet room of the mansion, suddenly opened his eyes.

"It should be almost done!"

Feeling his progress during this period, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "The second level of the Path of the Beast God is quite simple. With my current understanding, even without activating the Enlightenment Enhancement function, I should be able to fully comprehend it by receiving the inheritance!"

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly headed to the inheritance site again and began to accept the free inheritance opportunity after reaching the second level of the Path of the Beast God.

The effect of receiving the inheritance this time was quite good. Although he did not immediately comprehend the complete second level of inheritance, he is not far from fully comprehending it.

Next, Lu Qingshan cultivated in the mansion for nearly ten thousand years before he fully comprehended the second level of the Path of the Beast God.

"The third level of the Path of the Beast God will be much more difficult!"

After fully comprehending the second level, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I should spend more time accumulating knowledge and points, and then, when I receive the inheritance next time, I can use the enlightenment enhancement function to comprehend the third level of the Beast God's Path in one fell swoop!"

"However, this is not something that can be done in a short time; we can't rush it!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Besides, I've been in this Ancestral Mystic Realm for so long, and I haven't even been to see the treasure trove yet!"

"Although my talent and comprehension aren't particularly strong, there might just be a treasure that fits my criteria!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan walked out of the mansion and then transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the square in front of the island lord's palace.

Lu Qingshan still harbored some expectations regarding the treasure trove within the Ancestral God Sect.

Especially those precious treasures; if he could acquire even one of them, it would be comparable to his entire current fortune.

Wow!

As soon as Lu Qingshan landed on the plaza, he saw a powerful human.

He was about three meters tall, wearing bright silver armor, and occasionally a glint of purple light flashed in his eyes. He was a cosmic venerable among the human race who cultivated the path of the beast god, the 'Azure Flame Venerable'.

Venerable Qinghuo is a powerful figure from the Universe's First Bank lineage, and he has already cultivated the Fire Void Beast God Path to the fifth level.

He had already gone to congratulate Lu Qingshan when he first moved to Zijing Island, so the two are now quite familiar with each other.

"The Venerable One of All Realms?"

When Venerable Qinghuo saw Lu Qingshan, he was first surprised, then smiled and said, "Weren't you always in seclusion in your residence? How come you suddenly have time to come out?"

"The path of cultivation always requires a balance of tension and relaxation!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "My cultivation has recently hit a bottleneck, so I thought I'd come out for a stroll and also visit that treasure trove to see if I can find any treasures!"

　Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I'm going to visit my mom who works in another city to celebrate. I'll ask for a day off in advance, and if time allows, I might be able to update once.

　　Finally, I wish every mother a happy Mother's Day.
