Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 306 Family and Disciples

Having not met Teacher Lei Huanwang in real life for a long time, Lu Qingshan naturally wanted to have a good drink with his teacher.

Lei Huanwang even invited Tongyewang, who had a good relationship with Lu Qingshan and was also cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City, to accompany him.

Tongye Wang was Lu Qingshan's thirteenth senior sister. Back when Lu Qingshan was still a Marquis and Immortal, she had taken good care of him. So, in the long years that had passed, Lu Qingshan naturally had to look after her in return.

Now, King Tongye has passed the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge and, with the help of Lu Qingshan, has received a divine general inheritance that suits him, and has also improved his life gene level.

In this way, the combined power of all the techniques that King Tongye possesses is comparable to that of some weaker King-level experts.

As for the third senior brother, the Extreme Lightning King, he had already passed the twentieth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Afterwards, with the help of Lu Qingshan, he improved his life gene level and received the inheritance of the Divine General. His strength was estimated to be comparable to the former Thunder Illusion King.

Lu Qingshan had originally intended to gift the Extreme Lightning King two ordinary treasures, one for offense and one for defense. After all, these were nothing to him, but they could grant the Extreme Lightning King invincible combat power. However, the Extreme Lightning King sternly refused.

Although ordinary treasures are nothing to Lu Qingshan at this time, the Extreme Lightning King is only his senior brother. Their relationship cannot be as close as the master-disciple relationship between him and the Thunder Illusion King. Therefore, the Extreme Lightning King is definitely unwilling to accept Lu Qingshan's good intentions!

Just as Lu Qingshan was enjoying a meal and chatting with Lei Huanwang and Tongyewang in the living room of the mansion, he suddenly received an email.

Upon seeing that the message was sent by a high-ranking member of the clan, Lu Qingshan immediately opened the email.

After reading the email, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile.

"Qingshan!"

Noticing the change in Lu Qingshan's expression, Lei Huanwang quickly asked, "Did something good happen?"

Tongye Wang listened attentively from the side.

To be honest, ever since her junior brother Lu Qingshan broke through to the level of a Universe Venerable, she, as his senior sister, has benefited a lot.

Besides being able to use some previously hard-to-obtain opportunities and treasures (such as the inheritance of divine generals, the blood of beast gods, etc.), one can also learn some previously hard-to-obtain secret information from Lu Qingshan.

"This disciple has indeed received some good news!"

Lu Qingshan quickly looked at Lei Huanwang and said, "But teacher, please don't get too excited after hearing this!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang's interest only grew stronger, and he immediately asked, "Qingshan, what is this mysterious matter?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "It's Qingping King, under the Shadow Monarch of the intelligence department, who just broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback.

Seeing the change in Lei Huanwang's expression, Lu Qingshan felt quite helpless.

After all, despite his efforts, King Lei Huan has not yet broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, while King Qing Ping has broken through on his own. Naturally, this situation is quite frustrating.

However, even if Lu Qingshan didn't say anything, Lei Huanwang would have found out about this very quickly through other channels.

"I never expected that King Qingping would actually break through to the Universe Venerable realm!"

After a moment of silence, King Lei Huan quickly said, "King Qing Ping's breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm is indeed a good thing for our human race!"

"Qingshan, you don't need to worry. Your master isn't as pessimistic as you think! Besides, Qingping King's breakthrough is a good thing for me. After all, Qingping King has been cultivating for longer than me. If she can break through, then I will naturally have the opportunity to break through as well!"

"That's right!"

After hearing Lei Huanwang's words, Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "Teacher, you will definitely be able to break through to the Universe Venerable realm!"

"correct!"

Lei Huanwang quickly added, "Qingshan, I remember you have a good relationship with Venerable Qingping. Would you like to attend her Venerable Banquet?"

"Of course we'll go!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Back when I was still a King of Immortality, King Qingping lent me a large sum of money to auction off treasures!"

"Now that she's broken through, I naturally have to go and join in the fun!"

"Then we can go together later!"

Lei Huanwang quickly smiled and said, "When the time comes, you and I, master and disciple, will travel together, so that I, as your teacher, can benefit from your fame!"

"no problem!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "I'll email Qingping Wang right now and ask when she plans to hold her Venerable Banquet!"

……

Six months later, an ancient-looking ship with a purple-gold body suddenly flew out from the passage between the initial universe and the primordial universe and arrived above the continent of the Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters.

This ancient ship is the 'Purple Gold Eight Treasures Ship,' a top-tier flying palace-type treasure that Lu Qingshan exchanged for in the human race's treasure vault over the past billions of epochs, spending 1.5 Treasure Points!
In fact, the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Ship did not have any effect on improving Lu Qingshan's strength. Lu Qingshan had exchanged it from the human race's treasure trove because he valued its ability to travel in the dark universe.

It should be noted that Lu Qingshan had frequently ventured into various secret realms of the universe over the long years of his life.

These cosmic secrets are scattered across different regions of the original universe, and the distances between them are quite far. Naturally, one would need to fly through the dark universe when traveling.

Even with the addition of a peak-level King-level auxiliary metal life form, the highest speed that human spaceships can reach in the dark universe is only 150 times the speed of light.

One hundred and fifty times the speed of light is naturally very fast for those who have been granted the title of King or Immortal, but it is not enough for Lu Qingshan.

In order to travel faster, Lu Qingshan spent 1.5 Treasure Points to exchange for this Purple Gold Eight Treasures Ship from the human race.

With Lu Qingshan's current strength, he can naturally reach the speed limit of the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Ship when he pushes it to its full potential, which is 1,500 times the speed of light!
This astonishing speed did indeed save Lu Qingshan a considerable amount of time over the countless years to come.

When the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Ship came to rest above a luxurious mansion, three figures flew out from it. They were Lu Qingshan, Lei Huanwang, and Tongyewang.

Lu Qingshan and Lei Huanwang naturally received an invitation from Venerable Qingping. Although Tongyewang did not receive an invitation, it was perfectly fine for him to go with Lu Qingshan and Lei Huanwang to broaden his horizons.

"teacher!"

After casually putting away the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Ship, Lu Qingshan turned to Lei Huanwang beside him and said, "The residence of Venerable Qingping is nearby. Let's go and meet up with your disciples and grand-disciples first!"

"Alright!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang quickly nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Qingshan, your ability to teach disciples is far superior to mine. Your disciples are all incredibly talented!"

"Teacher, what are you saying?"

Lu Qingshan quickly chuckled and teased, "The disciples you've taught are far superior to those I've taught!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang quickly laughed and said, "You really have no modesty at all!"

"Teacher, what Junior Brother Qingshan said is also true!"

Tongye Wang, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke up, "Even if Junior Brother Qingshan is very good at teaching disciples, isn't he still your disciple?" "Senior Sister is right!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in agreement.

And so, Lu Qingshan and his two companions soon arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence.

In the living room of Lu Qingshan's mansion, ten figures were already waiting.

These ten figures are...

Lu Hongwen: The eldest elder of Lu Qingshan's family, and also Lu Qingshan's most capable assistant in managing the family. However, his current understanding of the laws is only equivalent to the fourteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
Hoggs: Lu Qingshan's sixth disciple, who broke through to become an immortal even earlier than Lu Qingshan. His current understanding of the laws has successfully entered the initial stage of the King-level. He is also Lu Qingshan's most capable assistant when dealing with company affairs.
Strach: A super genius who became a Black Warrior through his own abilities and eventually raised his life gene level to the limit of a hundred times with the help of the human race. His understanding of the laws has reached the ultimate level of the King-level. He is also one of the most powerful King-level invincible people in the human race today.

Lu Zixuan: The first person in the Lu family besides Lu Qingshan to be granted the title of Immortal King. She has now passed the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven and is currently the strongest person in the Lu family besides Lu Qingshan.
Lu Ping'an and Lu Yuhua: Two super geniuses born in the Lu family over the past billions of epochs. They have now both passed the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. With the resources provided by Lu Qingshan, their strength is enough to rival that of a typical peak King-level expert.

Scripps and Kemotima: Lu Qingshan's two personal disciples over the past billions of epochs have now both passed the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven. With the help of the treasures provided by Lu Qingshan, they have reached the strength of the original King of the Monument, or rather, the Seven Swords King when he first appeared in the original work.

Lu Mingrui: The most talented genius in the history of the Lu family, and also the strongest genius of the human race in this era. He has already passed the nineteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge in less than 100,000 years of cultivation. He will definitely have the opportunity to pass the Primal Tongtian Mountain of the World Lord level in the future.

Lawrence: Lu Qingshan's most talented and strongest disciple, who has now reached the level of a Cosmic Venerable.

Lawrence was born more than 3 billion epochs ago. He cultivated for less than 30 years and won the first place in the peak genius battle with an overwhelming advantage.
At that time, many cosmic venerables appeared and took him as their disciple. However, Lawrence was from the Yanfeng Cosmic Kingdom and had also received some favors from Lu Hongwen by chance. In addition, Lu Qingshan's strength was among the top of the many cosmic venerables who took him as their disciple. Therefore, Lawrence became Lu Qingshan's disciple.

In the years that followed, Lawrence cultivated for only 80,000 years before passing the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven. At the same time, with Lu Qingshan's help, he possessed a special life form at the World Lord level that Lu Qingshan had exchanged from the human race's treasure trove.

In fact, Lu Qingshan gave Lawrence two options at the time. One was to possess a special life form in the human race’s treasure trove whose life gene level was two thousand times that of ordinary life in the universe. In this way, he could have terrifying strength with his powerful life gene level, but he would not be able to create a clone.

Another method is to possess ordinary life forms, such as the two-headed demon weasel, that can create clones;
But in the end, Lawrence still chose to possess a special life clone with a life gene level two thousand times higher, so that he could have even greater power in the future.

After possessing a special life form with two thousand times the life gene level, Lawrence spent nearly a million years before finally breaking free of his shackles and becoming an immortal god.

More than two billion epochs later, Lawrence finally comprehended the complete fundamental laws of time and broke through to the realm of a Cosmic Venerable.

Although Lawrence hasn't made any breakthroughs in his understanding of the laws, with his life gene level two thousand times higher, plus some treasures (top-tier heavy treasure armor level) bestowed by his clan and Lu Qingshan, he already possesses the strength of a high-level universe venerable!

"Father (Teacher, Ancestor), Grandmaster!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and Lei Huanwang appear, Lu Hongwen and the others quickly bowed respectfully.

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then looked directly at Lu Mingrui, whom he had taken as his disciple, and asked, "Mingrui, how has your cultivation been lately?"

"Reply, teacher!"

Lu Mingrui quickly and respectfully replied, "This disciple has been honing his skills on the battlefields beyond the realms recently and has already gained some fame. Not long ago, I even killed a high-ranking immortal god who was granted the title of Marquis with the help of the great treasure bestowed upon me by the Ancestor!"

"not bad!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "However, the battlefield outside the realm is fraught with danger, and you are the strongest genius of our human race in this era. You will definitely be targeted by those alien spies and powerful figures!"

"So when you're venturing into that cosmic secret realm, you must be extremely careful, especially to avoid being enslaved by anyone's soul, or everything will be over!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Mingrui quickly nodded and said.

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then continued, "I look forward to the day when you can conquer the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which is at the Realm Lord level!"

"This disciple will certainly strive to do my best!"

Lu Mingrui quickly assured him, "I will absolutely not let you down, teacher!"

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then turned to Lawrence beside him and asked, "Lawrence, you told me last time that you wanted to go to that ancient mysterious realm with the King of Yanfeng and the others. How have you been doing these past few years?"

"This disciple has gained quite a lot this time!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lawrence quickly and respectfully replied, "This disciple and Lord Yanfeng and the others have been adventuring in that ancient mysterious realm for over ten million years, and have reaped considerable rewards. This disciple alone has received a fortune of sixty treasure points!"

"But later we encountered Venerable Golden Crow and others from the Mechanical Race. After a great battle, although no one perished, we all consumed a lot of divine power. So, I and Lord Yanfeng and the others returned to our human race's territory to recuperate!"

"Golden Crow Venerable, another familiar face!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh after hearing Lawrence's words.

Lu Qingshan had already heard of the Golden Crow Venerable of the Mechanical Race when he was still a Marquis Immortal.

When Lu Qingshan was venturing into the outer battlefield, he was once killed by the Golden King of the Mechanical Race. At that time, the Golden Crow King, who was still a King of Immortality, was the Golden King's teacher.

Later, Lu Qingshan also encountered the Golden Crow King in the battle where he joined forces with the Stele King to kill the Hundred Flower King, but he never fought against him.

Before leaving the battlefield outside the domain, Lu Qingshan even went to kill King Jinming once.

Later, Lu Qingshan and the Monument King both entered the realm of the Universe Venerable, so naturally they no longer cared about the Golden Crow King.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Crow King had successfully broken through to the level of a Universe Venerable over the past billions of epochs. Moreover, his strength continued to increase after breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, and now he possesses the strength of a High-level Universe Venerable.

This level of strength is nothing compared to Lu Qingshan at this time, but it is considered to have surpassed Lu Qingshan, who is still a mid-level universe venerable.

However, such things are quite normal in the universe, so Lu Qingshan didn't pay too much attention to it. He just sighed a little when he heard Lawrence mention the other party.

"That Golden Crow Venerable does indeed remember you, Master!"

Lawrence quickly added, "He even wanted his disciple to tell you that he would definitely fight you someday if given the chance!"

"Seeing how arrogant he was, I stepped in and taught that Golden Crow Venerable a lesson on behalf of you, Master!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu Qingshan casually waved his hand and said, "He's just a clown. If we encounter him again, we can easily kill him!"

Lu Qingshan was not surprised at all by Lawrence's statement that he had taught the Golden Crow Venerable a lesson.

Although they were both at the advanced cosmic venerable level, Lawrence's special life form was over 100,000 kilometers long, which was extremely large in the universe.

The Golden Crow Venerable was quite ordinary among the mechanical race's universe venerables, with a divine body only a dozen meters tall. How could he possibly fight Lawrence when their strengths were equal?

Next, Lu Qingshan casually inquired about the situation of Lu Hongwen and the others before continuing, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off!"

These people were waiting here, naturally to attend Venerable Qingping's banquet with Lu Qingshan.

Lawrence, Streich, Scripps, and Kemotima are strong enough to receive an invitation from Venerable Qingping on their own. As for Lu Hongwen and the others, they will naturally go with Lu Qingshan.

After all, Lu Hongwen and the others were either his favorite disciples or outstanding junior members of the family. Given the opportunity, Lu Qingshan would naturally take them to experience such a large-scale banquet, which would also broaden their horizons.

　The second update might be a little later.
