Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 297 Encounter
While Venerable Baihua and Venerable Longdiao were exploring the Purple Snow Secret Realm, Lu Qingshan was also traveling to the Purple Snow Secret Realm in a spaceship.

After all, Lu Qingshan had never been to the Purple Snow Secret Realm before, and he planned to venture out alone this time, so naturally he couldn't let other powerful figures use the Divine Kingdom teleportation belt to quickly reach the Purple Snow Secret Realm.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan had previously ventured into other cosmic secret realms within the Zerg territory, so he was able to quickly reach a cosmic star field within the Zerg territory that was relatively close to the Purple Snow Secret Realm through the Divine Kingdom teleportation, and then travel to the Purple Snow Secret Realm via Dark Universe flight.

While traveling through the dark universe in his spaceship, Lu Qingshan was not idle; instead, he was carefully familiarizing himself with the several precious treasures in his hands.

He had already activated the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor to its highest third level form, so there's no need to say more.

The Thunderous Strike Sword was a treasure weapon that Lu Qingshan had specially exchanged for, making it the most suitable weapon for him. Therefore, it was relatively easy for him to become familiar with it.

As for the top-tier domain treasure 'Purple Thunder Domain', although it is more precious than the Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword, it is actually just a top-tier treasure. Even immortal gods can activate it, let alone Lu Qingshan in his current state.

Besides familiarizing himself with the treasures he possessed, Lu Qingshan would also communicate with many cosmic venerables of the human race in the virtual universe when he had free time.

And so, time continued to pass.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Qingshan is about to arrive at the dark universe coordinates corresponding to the Purple Snow Secret Realm.

In the dark universe.

A spaceship, entirely purple-gold in color, is traveling at 120 times the speed of light.

"The universe is so vast!"

Inside the spaceship's control room, Lu Qingshan, sitting on the sofa sipping fine wine, couldn't help but sigh, "The territories occupied by the four top races alone are already incredibly vast, not to mention the even more expansive cosmic territories occupied by the billions of races in the universe!"

"I'm afraid even a cosmic ruler who spends an entire cycle of reincarnation might not be able to survey all the territories of the primordial universe."

After sighing, Lu Qingshan quickly connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and headed to a gathering place halfway up Thunder Island.

Not long ago, Venerable Vulcan invited many cosmic venerables to a small gathering. Lu Qingshan had not yet arrived at the Purple Snow Secret Realm, so he naturally had to go and join in the fun.

……

Halfway up Thunder Island, a waterfall cascades down like a river, crashing directly into the vast lake below.

In the middle of this vast lake, there is a small island with a diameter of only a few kilometers, where dozens of figures are talking.

Just then, a figure clad in purple-gold armor suddenly appeared on the island.

"Myriad Realms!"

"The Venerable One of All Realms!"

Upon seeing this figure, the other cosmic venerables nearby quickly greeted him warmly.

Most of these cosmic venerables are mid-level or high-level venerables, and their strength is already quite good among the many cosmic venerables in the human race.

After all, the total number of cosmic overlords in the entire human race does not exceed three hundred!

Although Lu Qingshan's current strength has not yet been revealed, the universe venerables are aware that he has fully comprehended the fifth level of the Path of the Beast God.

Furthermore, Lu Qingshan also possessed the ability to create clones, so these cosmic venerables were extremely enthusiastic towards him.

"Everyone!"

Once most of the people had arrived, the Fire God Venerable, who had invited everyone, immediately raised his cup and said, "I have recently crafted several top-tier treasures. Take a look and see if there's anything you need among them. I guarantee the prices I'm offering will be cheaper than exchanging them at the clan's treasury!"

After saying this, Venerable Vulcan waved his hand, and a phantom screen appeared in mid-air, displaying detailed information about many treasures.

Lu Qingshan glanced through the document and found that the Fire God Venerable's ability to refine treasures was quite comprehensive.

These treasures include armor, combat boots to aid flight, wings, weapons of various forms, and even a top-tier treasure of the soul type!

"A top-tier treasure of the soul type?"

After browsing through the information about the treasure, a cosmic venerable couldn't help but exclaim, "Vulcan, I never imagined you could already refine treasures of this caliber! I'm afraid it won't be long before you're able to refine supreme treasures!"

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

After hearing the words of this cosmic venerable, the Fire God Venerable couldn't help but say, "Supreme treasures are not so easy to forge!"

"Among our entire human race, only the Lord of Dragon Journey and Venerable Canglian are capable of forging supreme treasures! Over the long years, I have already opened the furnace to forge supreme treasures twelve times, but unfortunately, I have not succeeded even once!"

"That's already amazing!"

Another Cosmic Venerable quickly spoke up, saying, "Vulcan, we both broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm around the same time, but your current wealth combined is probably dozens of times that of mine!"

"Actually, all I can do is focus on crafting treasures!"

The Venerable Vulcan quickly laughed and said, "If I were to venture into the secret realms of the universe like you, I certainly wouldn't be as good as you!"

"Let's not talk about that now. Does anyone have any treasures they've got their eye on? If so, you can come to Chaos City and exchange them with me!"

"no problem!"

"Don't worry, Vulcan!"

The surrounding cosmic venerables quickly nodded in agreement.

After the Fire God Venerable finished displaying the many treasures he had crafted, everyone began to enjoy the food and chat.

"Does everyone still remember the 'Sky Burial Venerable' of the Machine Race?"

"Of course I remember! The Heavenly Burial Venerable broke through to the Universe Venerable realm in less than a million years of cultivation. His talent was indeed astonishing!"

"I encountered him in the Kuling Secret Realm not long ago. This person has already reached the strength of a high-level universe venerable, and is especially skilled in defense! I used my strongest peak technique, which he easily withstood!"

"The Heavenly Burial Venerable is that powerful? It seems the Mechanical Race will soon have a new cosmic overlord!"

"That's a cosmic overlord! I wonder when I'll ever have that kind of power!"

Just as everyone was talking, another streak of light flew towards them from afar!
"Venerable Monument?"

"It's actually Venerable Beihai!"

Dozens of cosmic venerables looked up and quickly recognized the newcomer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not late, am I?"

The Venerable Monument quickly landed in front of the group and then asked with a smile.

"It's a little late, but it's alright!" Venerable Vulcan quickly said with a smile.

Although Venerable Beihai had only recently broken through to the next level, he was a disciple of Lord Youhou and was quite wealthy.

So the Fire God Venerable quickly waved his hand to bring back the illusory screen, and then began to introduce the treasures he had just refined to the Stele Venerable.

As the Monument Venerable browsed through the many treasures, a Cosmic Venerable clad in cyan armor quickly spoke up, asking, "Monument Venerable, weren't you adventuring in the Purple Snow Secret Realm with Golden Blade recently? What brings you here?"

"Don't mention it!"

The Monument Venerable quickly said, "I was originally adventuring in the Purple Snow Secret Realm with Golden Blade, but not long ago we happened to encounter the Dragon Sable Venerable and Hundred Flowers Venerable of the demon race!"

"In terms of strength alone, Venerable Baihua and Venerable Longshao are about the same as me and Jindao. However, the divine bodies of the Twin-Headed Demon Sable lineage are much larger than those of normal humans. We will definitely suffer losses if we fight them!"

"Moreover, at that time, Jin Dao and I were not as close to the treasure that had been created as the Dragon Sable Venerable and the Hundred Flowers Venerable, so after they snatched the treasure, Jin Dao and I planned to retreat!"

"But I didn't expect that Venerable Hundred Flowers would insist on fighting us! Although Golden Blade and I managed to retreat in the end, I lost six percent of my divine body, so I can only return to my human race's territory to cultivate in seclusion for a while!"

After hearing what Venerable Monument said, the other cosmic venerables around him also began to curse.

"Those demon scum deserve to die!"

"That's right! Especially those royal family members with large divine bodies, they often take advantage of their large divine bodies to provoke the strong members of our human race!"

"Damn demon scum!"

"The Venerable One of a Hundred Flowers?"

Just then, Venerable Vulcan suddenly said, "I remember this person must have been hiding inside my Virtual Universe Company for a long time before being discovered. After returning to the Demon Clan's territory, he was taken in as a disciple by the Lord of Annihilation?"

“That’s right!” Venerable Monument quickly said, “Back when Venerable Myriad Realms and I were still King-level Immortals, we joined forces to kill Venerable Hundred Flowers, who was also a King-level Immortal, once on the battlefield outside the domain. That’s why Venerable Hundred Flowers relentlessly pursued me after we met!”

Lu Qingshan, who was standing to the side, listened to the words of the Stele Relic Venerable and the other Universe Venerables, and his heart stirred slightly.

"That Venerable Hundred Flowers is the personal disciple of the Lord of Annihilation!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "With the strength of the Lord of Annihilation, he will surely bestow treasures upon the Hundred Flowers Venerable after he breaks through to become a Venerable!"

"My purpose in venturing into the universe this time was to kill one or two alien universe venerables before my strength was exposed!"

"The Venerable Hundred Flowers is likely to possess precious treasures, and he also has a grudge against me. Isn't he the perfect target?"

The group chatted for another half a day before the banquet finally ended.

After the banquet ended, Lu Qingshan quickly sought out Venerable Beihai.

"The remains of a monument!"

Lu Qingshan asked directly, "In which area of ​​the Purple Snow Secret Realm did you encounter the Hundred Flowers Venerable?"

"It's in the Yigao Gorge!"

The Monument Venerable asked in confusion, "Myriad Realms, why are you asking this?"

"Actually, it's nothing serious!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "I was just planning to venture into the Purple Snow Secret Realm. It just so happens that we both have a grudge against that Venerable Hundred Flowers. If we have the chance to meet him, we might be able to teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Beihai said directly, "In the myriad realms, Venerable Baihua and Venerable Longshao are quite powerful. Even most high-level Venerables probably couldn't do anything to them!"

"That Venerable Hundred Flowers is very powerful, and her attack power is even stronger than that of Venerable Dragon Sable. Moreover, she is the personal disciple of the Lord of Annihilation, so she must have precious treasures protecting her. You must not act rashly!"

“I understand!” Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's reply, the Monument Venerable said nothing more.

Because he knew very well that Lu Qingshan's strength and connections were stronger than his own. If he really encountered the Hundred Flowers Venerable, even if he couldn't teach him a lesson, he would definitely be able to escape unscathed.

……

Inside the control room of a spaceship, entirely purple-gold in the dark universe.

"Yigao Gorge?"

Upon regaining his senses and returning to reality, Lu Qingshan had an idea and quickly instructed the intelligent life form Deep Blue to change the spaceship's direction of travel.

Lu Qingshan's original target was another dangerous area in the Purple Snow Secret Realm, but now it has become Yigao Gorge!
More than three months later, accompanied by spatial tremors, a spaceship quickly traveled back into the original universe, and its location was the Yigao Gorge area in the Purple Snow Secret Realm.

Inside the spaceship's control room sat a figure clad in purple-gold armor, who had traveled all the way here in the spaceship – Lu Qingshan.

Wow!

The spaceship hatch opened instantly, and Lu Qingshan, fully armed, flew out from inside.

"We've finally arrived at the Purple Snow Secret Realm!"

After waving his hand to put the spaceship away, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I'll spend the next period of time exploring this Yigao Gorge!"

Although Lu Qingshan came to Yigao Gorge because of the Venerable Hundred Flowers, he never intended to go directly to find the Venerable Hundred Flowers.

After all, the Yigao Gorge area is so vast that it's generally very difficult to find a person without accurate location coordinates.

Moreover, the location of Venerable Hundred Flowers is constantly changing, so encountering him depends on luck, or on the human race or other powerful members of the Hong Alliance sending him a message after they encounter him.

However, for Lu Qingshan now, the main purpose is to explore the secret realm of the universe. As for the Hundred Flowers Venerable, it would be a good thing to meet him, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't.

So for the next period of time, Lu Qingshan began to wander around the Yigao Gorge area.

……

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

For over a million years, Lu Qingshan had been venturing into the Yigao Gorge area of ​​the Purple Snow Secret Realm.

But perhaps because his strength had increased, his luck had worsened considerably.

Over a million years, he only encountered one treasure that could be exchanged for Treasure Points, and its value was relatively low, with an exchange price of only 1.8 Treasure Points in the human race's treasure vault.

Just as he was lamenting his bad luck, the voice of the intelligent life form Deep Blue suddenly rang in his mind: "Master, something's wrong!"

After hearing Deep Blue's reminder, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at the information displayed by the large detector he carried with him.

On the illusory screen, more than 200 million kilometers to Lu Qingshan's right front, a strange crystal emitting seven-colored light slowly emerged.

"It's a seven-colored crystal!"

After observing the strange crystal clearly through the large detector, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile: "After wandering around here for millions of years, I've finally made a decent harvest!"

Seven-Colored Glazed Crystal: A rather precious refining material, its price in the human race's treasure trove is as high as eighty heavy treasure points, which is comparable to a top-level heavy treasure.

Don't be fooled by Lu Qingshan's current wealth; the bulk of it comes from two sources: the treasure he obtained from the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove and the four treasure points bestowed upon him by the Lord of Ice Peak.

Lu Qingshan's wealth, accumulated through his own efforts, was not substantial, and it was the result of a long period of time.

Having wandered through the Yigao Gorge for over a million years, encountering a seven-colored glass crystal is indeed a very lucky thing.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately teleported to the area where the seven-colored glass crystal was located.

……

As Lu Qingshan teleported toward the Seven-Colored Glazed Crystal, the Dragon Sable Venerable and the Hundred Flowers Venerable, who were venturing in another direction, also discovered the trace of the Seven-Colored Glazed Crystal through a large detector.

"It's a seven-colored crystal!" Venerable Dragon Sable exclaimed excitedly.

"teacher!"

Venerable Baihua, standing to the side, laughed and said, "It seems there are indeed many treasures in this Yigao Gorge. We just discovered a small piece of star marrow not long ago, and now we have discovered this seven-colored glazed crystal!"

"Who says it isn't?"

The Dragon Sable Venerable quickly smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you and I, master and disciple, would have such a great harvest on our first joint expedition into the secret realm. It seems that you, Baihua, are indeed very lucky!"

"Teacher, let's go get our hands on that seven-colored crystal first!"

Venerable Hundred Flowers smiled slightly and said, "It wouldn't be good if other powerful figures got there first!"

"That's natural!"

As soon as Venerable Dragon Sable finished speaking, he and Venerable Hundred Flowers immediately used teleportation to quickly head towards the location of the Seven-Colored Glazed Crystal.

……

On the other side, Lu Qingshan's teleportation using his treasure was naturally inferior to that of a Universe Venerable who had mastered the complete laws of space. However, he was very close to the Seven-Colored Glazed Crystal, so he only needed to use teleportation once to appear in front of it.

call!
Lu Qingshan directly released a wisp of divine power and took the seven-colored glass crystal into his hand.

Just as Lu Qingshan was about to examine the seven-colored glass crystal closely, he suddenly sensed a barely perceptible spatial fluctuation behind him.

"Teleport?"

As the saying goes, "Skill breeds daring!"
At this moment, Lu Qingshan already possessed the ability to save his life even against top-tier cosmic overlords. Therefore, upon sensing the spatial fluctuations, he showed no panic whatsoever and simply turned his head to look.

Behind him were the demon race's Dragon Sable Venerable and Hundred Flowers Venerable, who had also arrived by teleportation.

Upon seeing the Seven-Colored Glazed Crystal fall into Lu Qingshan's hands, a hint of regret instantly appeared on the face of the Dragon Sable Venerable.

He had witnessed Lu Qingshan's strength before. With his and Venerable Baihua's strength, they simply couldn't kill Lu Qingshan before the other powerful members of the human race arrived.

Just as Venerable Dragon Sable was about to invite Venerable Hundred Flowers to leave together, Venerable Hundred Flowers became completely enraged.
