Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 293 The Harvest of a Long Year: Exchanging Treasures
In fact, given Lu Zixuan's initial display of talent, if she hadn't been born into the Lu family, she would at most have been able to break into the top 100 in the entire universe during the Peak Genius Battle and enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

But who can blame her when she is a direct descendant of Lu Qingshan, the Venerable One of All Realms!

Lu Qingshan merely took out some resources, less than 100 million Hunyuan units, which was enough for Lu Zixuan to enjoy endlessly.

After all, even those super geniuses who have passed through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level can only theoretically obtain a fortune of 100 billion points.

Of course, such geniuses will at least be accepted as disciples by cosmic venerables or even cosmic masters, and will also receive many other benefits.

Even when Lu Zixuan was still at the cosmic level, Lu Qingshan had exchanged a sleeping cosmic-level two-headed demon weasel from the human race's treasure trove, and then had Lu Zixuan possess it.

Therefore, Lu Zixuan also possesses the ability to create clones, which many cosmic venerables envy. This is one of the reasons why she has been able to roam the extraterrestrial battlefield for millions of years without incident.

Lu Qingshan even bestowed upon Lu Zixuan a few drops of the Dew of Creation, otherwise it would have been quite remarkable that she was able to pass the fifteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

As various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Lu Hongwen spoke up again: "Father, Zixuan is currently waiting for your summons. Do you think it would be appropriate to see her?"

"Ok!"

After hearing Lu Hongwen's words, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and said, "Have Zixuan come over!"

"Yes, father!"

Upon seeing that Lu Qingshan agreed to summon Lu Zixuan, Lu Hongwen quickly nodded in agreement and then notified Lu Zixuan, who had been waiting for a long time.

Soon, a capable figure dressed in cyan armor entered the main hall; it was Lu Zixuan, who had just broken through to the Immortal Realm.

"Greetings, Ancestor! Greetings, Grand Elder!"

As soon as Lu Zixuan appeared in the main hall, she immediately bowed respectfully to Lu Qingshan and Lu Hongwen.

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "Zixuan, you can get up now!"

"Yes, Ancestor!" Lu Zixuan replied respectfully before slowly rising to her feet.

"Zixuan, you were able to pass the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, so your talent is quite good!" Lu Qingshan said to Lu Zixuan with great certainty.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixuan quickly said gratefully again, "Actually, it's mainly because of your care for me, Ancestor, that I was able to successfully break through and become an immortal god!"

In fact, when she first started cultivating, Lu Zixuan really thought she was a super genius.

As for the family's assistance to her, it was merely icing on the cake.

But after actually joining the core of the Virtual Universe Company and witnessing countless incredibly talented geniuses, she realized that her own talent was truly insignificant.

In fact, if Lu Qingshan hadn't devised some cultivation plans for her when she was at the cosmic level, such as going to the Blood Luo Continent to fuse with the Blood Luo Crystal, helping her possess the cosmic-level Twin-Headed Demon Sable, and bestowing upon her the Heavenly Creation Dew, she would at most have been able to stay in the Primordial Secret Realm.

Especially as time went by, many of the geniuses of Lu Zixuan's generation perished in various crises, and even many of the most amazing Primal Secret Realm Master-level geniuses perished on the battlefields outside the domain. Lu Zixuan became even more grateful that she was born into such a large family as the Lu family.

If it weren't for her family's help, even with some talent, it would be hard to say whether she could have become an ordinary immortal, let alone now that she has broken through to the high-level Marquis level, with combat power comparable to a King-level immortal.

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Lu Zixuan's words of gratitude, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "I'm providing you with a lot of resources because you have good talent!"

"Although you have now broken through to become an immortal god, you still have a long way to go in the future!"

"In my opinion, passing the seventeenth level of the Bridge to Heaven shouldn't be too difficult for you, but whether you can pass the eighteenth level depends on your own efforts!"

"Zixuan understands!" After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lu Zixuan quickly nodded respectfully.

"Zi Xuan, you are walking the path of a martial artist!"

Lu Qingshan quickly added, "I remember the inheritance of the Four Divine Generals will begin in a few hundred thousand years. I will apply for a spot for you, and you can go directly to receive the inheritance when the time comes!"

"As for the time ahead, you should go and train with Hoggs for a while!"

“Yes, Ancestor!” Lu Zixuan quickly nodded and said.

Hoggs is the most capable disciple under Ancestor Lu Qingshan. Now, together with Elder Lu Hongwen, she helps Ancestor Lu Qingshan handle trivial matters within the Virtual Universe Company and the family. She is naturally no stranger to him.

Even when she broke through to the Domain Lord level, it was Hoggs who arranged the guards for her.

"Alright, you may all leave!" Lu Qingshan instructed again.

"Yes, Father (Ancestor)!" Lu Hongwen and Lu Zixuan responded respectfully at the same time, and then respectfully withdrew from the main hall.

Watching the two figures disappear, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder when a true Immortal King will emerge in our family?"

At this moment, Lu Zixuan, with her full power unleashed, is actually no less powerful than some newly appointed kings.

However, when Lu Qingshan spoke of being granted the title of "Immortal King," he was referring to a powerful individual who had passed the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven solely through their comprehension of the laws.

After all, there are obvious differences between the eighteenth and seventeenth floors of the Sky Bridge.

Just like Lu Qingshan's sixth disciple, Hoggs, who had already passed the seventeenth level of the Tongtian Bridge with Lu Qingshan's help eighty million epochs ago, but still hasn't passed the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge!
Of course, Lu Qingshan also took in two more personal disciples during the past eighty million epochs.

One of them is a super genius discovered by Lu Qingshan when he presided over the Peak Genius Battle. He passed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge when he first left Chaos City, and has now passed the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
The other one is a super genius from the Heavenly Thunder lineage. Lu Qingshan happened to be chatting with his teacher, Lei Huanwang, when they met, so he was recommended by Lei Huanwang to become his disciple. Now he has already passed the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge!
In fact, the Lu family is already quite large, and it is considered the second largest family in the Yanfeng Universe after the royal family.

However, compared to the countless humans in the universe, the Lu family's population is negligible, so the probability of producing a genius is relatively low.

Lu Zixuan, the most talented person in the Lu family besides Lu Qingshan, would be nothing more than an ordinary genius in the Primordial Secret Realm without the help of her family.

Moreover, the path to becoming a strong person always becomes more difficult the higher you go.

Just like the human race, although many immortal kings have emerged in the past eighty million epochs, no new cosmic venerables have appeared.

In other words, since Lu Qingshan, no new Cosmic Venerable has emerged in the human race.
On the contrary, the Zerg had an Immortal-level Zerg Queen who broke through to the Cosmic Venerable level on the extraterrestrial battlefield, and the Demon Race also had a King-level Immortal who broke through to the Venerable level. As for the Mechanical Race, a super genius emerged who cultivated for more than 100,000 years to become a King-level Immortal and broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm in hundreds of thousands of years!
However, if we start counting from when Venerable Mengyue just broke through, the number of Universe Venerables born in the human race during this period is still the most among the four peak races, and there are also three Universe Overlords: Palace Master Tianshi, Venerable Jiufeng, and now Lu Qingshan.

In particular, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, as a powerful being who has nurtured a special life clone with an extremely high level of life genes, has the opportunity to become a top-tier cosmic overlord.

……

Shaking his head slightly to dispel the various thoughts in his mind, Lu Qingshan quickly began to consider his next plan.

"As Master Ice Peak said, now that I have exchanged for a suitable supreme weapon, my strength should be comparable to that of a Cosmic Venerable like Herodo!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly recalled the wealth he currently possessed in the human race's treasure trove: 3 Supreme Treasure Points and 7372 Heavy Treasure Points!
Yes!

Compared to 80 million epochs ago, Lu Qingshan's wealth has indeed increased significantly.

Such amazing gains are naturally the reason why he has been sending his main combat avatars to explore various cosmic secret realms from time to time during this period.

Although he perished at the hands of the green-robed Venerable in the secret realm of the Ancestral God Sect, losing hundreds of treasure points, the gains were still greater than the losses overall.

Of course, this is also because Lu Qingshan did not bring the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor when he ventured into the secret realm of the universe.

Otherwise, if the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor were lost, he would be devastated.

"Then let's go exchange for a suitable treasured longsword!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "After all, with my current strength, it's really not appropriate to still use top-tier treasure weapons!" "Besides, ordinary treasure weapons only cost one or two treasure points, which is still affordable for me!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan's main body, which was stationed on the eleventh battlefield outside the domain, quickly greeted his senior brother, Venerable Yaoguang, and then headed towards the Initial Universe.

Although he has now taken on the task of guarding the battlefield outside the territory within his clan, he is not required to stay on the battlefield outside the territory all the time.

In any case, there are generally no situations on the extraterrestrial battlefield that require the intervention of the cosmic venerables, so it is acceptable to leave occasionally.

But then again!

The task of guarding the extraterrestrial battlefield is a good task for other universe venerables (such as Venerable Yaoguang and Venerable Liufeng, who have cultivated for an extremely long time), but it is rather useless for Lu Qingshan, who has a relatively short cultivation time and also has clones.

He has now guarded the battlefield outside the domain for eighty million epochs, and has only accumulated eight levels of treasure points as a reward.

This might be considered decent for other cosmic venerables, but compared to Lu Qingshan, who gained thousands of treasure points by venturing into the cosmic secret realm with his clones, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

Using the fixed divine kingdom teleportation channel, Lu Qingshan quickly arrived at the Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters, and then immediately activated the interdimensional teleportation channel to rush to the Virtual Universe.

"More than 80 million epochs have passed in the blink of an eye!"

A moment later, Lu Qingshan, walking on the streets of Chaos City, looked at the geniuses and experts cultivating on the rooftops of their surrounding residences and felt a deep sense of melancholy.

When he first came to Chaos City, he only intended to fight a desperate battle before his lifespan ended, to see if he could comprehend the complete laws of lightning origin by studying the Chaos Stele, and thus break through to become an immortal.

Fortunately, he succeeded, and even unlocked his own cheat system, which allowed him to cultivate all the way to his current level.

Over eighty million epochs, he rose from an ordinary realm lord to a cosmic overlord.

This is naturally slower compared to Luo Feng in the original work, or even peerless geniuses like the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

But aside from these abnormalities, Lu Qingshan's current cultivation speed has far surpassed that of most Universe Venerables who have cultivated for a long time without any significant breakthrough in strength.

Traveling through the streets of Chaos City, Lu Qingshan soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Sir!"

"The Venerable One of All Realms!"

The guards at the entrance of the city lord's mansion all behaved with extreme respect upon seeing Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then quickly arrived at the door of the side hall.

He had already submitted his application in the virtual universe, so the side hall door opened as soon as he appeared in front of it.

Rumble!
With a heavy rumble, the bronze gate, which was over a hundred meters wide, slowly opened.

After Lu Qingshan stepped inside, the bronze gate closed again.

As Lu Qingshan entered the side hall, he casually placed some treasures he had collected earlier onto the stone plate in front of him. After the treasures were appraised in the virtual universe and then contributed to the clan, he once again gained sixteen treasure points.

Lu Qingshan then opened the exchange form, and in the lower right corner of the form, his current wealth was displayed...

Treasure Points: 3;

Heavy treasure point: 7388.

Of course, Treasure Points and Major Treasure Points can be exchanged for each other.

Although the exchange rate between Treasure Points and Supreme Treasure Points in the Human Race's Treasury has been constantly changing, it has remained unchanged for the past 80 million epochs, with one Supreme Treasure Point still being exchanged for 3350 Treasure Points.

Now, all the resources Lu Qingshan has in his possession have exceeded five Treasure Points.

"I still have plenty of resources at my disposal!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Since that's the case, I might as well raise the level of my life genes as well!"

It should be noted that although Lu Qingshan's main battle clone has raised its life gene level to fifty times that of ordinary life in the universe, his main body has never ventured out since becoming a universe venerable, so its life gene level is still ten times that of ordinary life in the universe (in the previous immortal stage, he only raised the life gene level of his second clone to twenty times that of ordinary life in the universe).

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked up at the huge, hazy form in mid-air and said, "Special Resources!"

Wow!
The form changed instantly, and then a variety of valuable resources became available for exchange.

Having already experienced raising the level of one's life genes, Lu Qingshan quickly selected numerous precious materials to raise his own life gene level to fifty times that of ordinary life in the universe, spending a total of 1760 Treasure Points.

It's not that Lu Qingshan doesn't want to continue improving his life gene level, but rather that continuing to improve it now would be too costly for him.

Even if he used up all his resources, he could only barely raise the life gene level of a god's body to the limit allowed by the laws of the universe, a hundred times.

"I still need to exchange for a supreme weapon, and I also need to keep some resources in reserve!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "So I'll wait until I have more wealth before exchanging for the resources that can raise my life gene level to the limit of a hundredfold!"

With that in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly checked the treasure weapons on the exchange form again.

In fact, Lu Qingshan naturally wanted to directly exchange for a high-grade treasure longsword, which would be enough for him to use before breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

Unfortunately, even the cheapest high-grade treasure sword in the human race's treasure trove requires 9 treasure points.

Even if Lu Qingshan had accumulated wealth of 80 million epochs, it would still be impossible to exchange for it.

"Let's take a look at the ordinary treasure longswords first!"

Lu Qingshan examined it carefully, and his gaze quickly settled on a simple-looking purple-gold longsword.

Thunderous Strike Sword: A common melee attack treasure with the lightning attribute, requiring 1.5 treasure points to obtain.

Among the common treasure longswords, there are only two with the lightning attribute. The Thunderous Shock Killing Sword is one of the cheaper ones, while the other one costs as much as 3.6 treasure points.

Lu Qingshan wasn't unable to afford the other one, but both longswords were at the level of ordinary supreme treasures, and the difference in their power wasn't significant, so he naturally chose the cheaper one.

After Lu Qingshan opened the detailed information, the phantom of an ancient longsword appeared in mid-air.

Around this ancient longsword, countless bolts of lightning faintly swirled.

at the same time……

"The Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword is a pure offensive treasure that can greatly amplify the user's offensive power!"

A gentle voice rang in Lu Qingshan's ear: "Because it is a supreme treasure of the lightning attribute, it can be used by powerful individuals who have achieved immortality through the laws of lightning, but the power of its explosion will be relatively weak!"

"If one becomes a cosmic sovereign through the fundamental law of time, even if one cultivates the fundamental laws of light or wind, one will still be able to use this supreme treasure, and the power unleashed will be even greater!"

"Other cultivators, such as Space Venerables, are not suitable to use this Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword!"

"That's it!"

After reading the introduction, Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction and then submitted the exchange request.
