Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 308 A plea for help after casually killing Xiao Yan

"The Venerable One of All Realms!"

At the entrance of the Shadow Monarch's palace, two immortal-level guards quickly bowed respectfully upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear.

at the same time……

"Hahaha, Wan Jie, it's rare for you to come to my place!"

Accompanied by a clear laugh, the Shadow Monarch, dressed in a black robe, quickly came out with a smile.

“Shadow, didn’t we just see it at Venerable Qingping’s banquet?”

Lu Qingshan had known the Shadow Monarch since he was still an immortal god. The Shadow Monarch even tried to recruit him into the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company because of his ability to create clones and his expertise in soul attacks.

So when he met the Shadow Lord, Lu Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Shadow, I've come here to ask for your help!"

"Oh?"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Shadow Monarch was slightly surprised. He then invited Lu Qingshan to the living room of his mansion and asked with a smile, "Myriad Realms, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Is such that!"

As Lu Qingshan followed the Shadow Monarch toward the mansion's living room, he spoke of the problem he had encountered: "I accepted a mission within the Ancestral God Sect, which is to kill the Azure Peak Venerable of the Qiujiahou Clan!"

"However, Venerable Bifeng has already gone into hiding and is not in the territory of the Qiujiahou tribe at all. If I want to find him quickly, I have no choice but to ask you, the head of the intelligence department, for help!"

At this moment, the Shadow Monarch had already brought Lu Qingshan to the living room of the mansion. After the two sides were seated as host and guest, the Shadow Monarch first waved his hand to serve Lu Qingshan many fine wines and delicacies, and then frowned and said, "The Azure Peak Venerable of the Qiujiahou Clan?"

"Shadow, is this matter somewhat difficult?"

Upon seeing the change in the Shadow Monarch's expression, Lu Qingshan immediately asked.

"It's not exactly difficult!"

The Shadow Monarch raised his glass to invite Lu Qingshan to drink with him, and then continued, "As for the myriad realms, you probably know that although the Qiujiahou Clan is a powerful race, they live in remote areas of the primitive universe, quite far from our human territory!"

"That's why there's relatively little conflict of interest between the Qiujiahou tribe and our human race, so naturally our human race won't spend too much effort on the Qiujiahou tribe!"

“I understand!” After hearing the Shadow Monarch’s explanation, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

Humanity possesses a virtual universe, making it exceptionally adept at intelligence gathering. However, the primordial universe is vast, inhabited by billions of different races, making it impossible for humanity to dedicate significant resources to every single one.

Humanity's intelligence capabilities are primarily concentrated among the three dominant races: the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race. Therefore, it is impossible to focus on all other races.

"If you want to find the whereabouts of the Azure Peak Venerable in the myriad realms, it will be difficult for our human intelligence department to succeed in a short period of time. Therefore, we will need to utilize the intelligence capabilities of the alien races within the Hong Alliance!"

The Shadow Monarch spoke again, saying, "Although our human race is the leader of the Hong Alliance, we still have to pay a price if we want to use the intelligence capabilities of those alien races in such matters!"

"So that's it!"

After hearing Shadow Monarch's words, Lu Qingshan immediately smiled and said, "Shadow, there's no problem! The Ancestral God Sect didn't assign me a task without a reward. As long as I can find the whereabouts of that Azure Peak Venerable, it's only right that I pay some price! How much resources do you think I should take out this time?"

"Actually, you don't need that much!"

The Shadow Monarch quickly smiled and said, "The Yan Ying clan in my Hongmeng City lives near the territory of the Qiu Jia Hou clan. The Yan Ying clan is also a powerful clan, so they must have some influence within the Qiu Jia Hou clan!"

"Here's what we'll do! Myriad Realms, you just offer ten levels of treasure points as a reward, and I'll help you contact the head of the Yan Ying Clan's intelligence department. They'll definitely be able to help you find the whereabouts of that Azure Peak Venerable!"

"Ten treasure points? Not too expensive!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then looked at Shadow Monarch again and thanked him, "Shadow, then I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Don't worry, myriad realms!"

The Shadow Monarch immediately assured him, "I will definitely take care of this for you! Let's not talk about this now, let's have a drink!"

Afterwards, Lu Qingshan chatted with the Shadow Monarch about some interesting things about the human race before taking his leave.

For the next period of time, Lu Qingshan familiarized himself with the newly acquired high-grade treasure longsword 'Meteor Mark' while waiting for news from the Azure Peak Venerable of the Qiujiahou Clan.

It must be said that the power of high-grade treasure weapons is truly incomparable to that of ordinary treasure weapons.

Over the past billions of years, after accumulating enough wealth, Lu Qingshan also spent a portion of that wealth to raise the life gene level of his second clone to the limit of a hundredfold.

Therefore, apart from its smaller divine body, Lu Qingshan's second clone was already on par with Lu Qingshan's original body in other fundamental aspects.

The size of a god's body only affects its defense and endurance; it makes no difference in attack power.

However, Lu Qingshan's main body is now using the high-grade treasure 'Meteor Mark', which can easily suppress his second clone who is using the Thunderous Shock Killing Sword. It is conservatively estimated that the attack power has increased by more than ten times.

More than three thousand years after Lu Qingshan asked the Shadow Monarch for help, the Shadow Monarch finally provided him with the approximate coordinates of the Azure Peak Venerable of the Qiujiahou Clan.

Lu Qingshan then spent more than ten years searching at the approximate coordinates before finally finding the Venerable Bifeng.

For Lu Qingshan, whose strength was among the top in the universe, the most difficult step in completing this mission was finding the whereabouts of the Azure Peak Venerable.

Once the opponent's whereabouts are found, killing Venerable Bifeng is indeed quite simple.

Although the Qiujiahou clan was quite skilled in defense and had a large divine body, when Lu Qingshan unleashed his full power, Venerable Bifeng still quickly perished at his hands.

After killing Venerable Bifeng, Lu Qingshan not only completed the mission of the Ancestral God Sect, but also gained more than 200 treasure points.

As for the leader of the Qiujiahou clan, he had known about Bifeng Venerable's offense against the Ancestral God Sect for a long time, so he did not dare to stand up for Bifeng Venerable.

After reporting back to the Ancestral God Sect and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds that the mission was complete, Lu Qingshan planned to return to his residence to cultivate in seclusion.

But just then, Xiao Yan suddenly contacted him in the chat group.

Upon receiving the message, Lu Qingshan's consciousness immediately connected to the multiverse chat group.

[Xiao Yan: @Lu Qingshan, group owner, are you there? I need your help with something!]

At this moment, the other people in the chat group were chatting idly, but after seeing Xiao Yan's message, they immediately fell silent.

[Lu Qingshan: @Xiao Yan, what trouble have you run into?]

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's plea for help, Lu Qingshan was still quite puzzled.

After all, with the chat group and the enlightenment enhancement function within the chat group, Xiao Yan's cultivation speed has far surpassed that of himself in the original novel.

In particular, the Enlightenment Enhancement function can help him better use the "Burning Technique" to fuse with different flames, and his cultivation speed is simply unbelievably fast.

Logically speaking, in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, no one should have the opportunity to threaten Xiao Yan.

Of course, even if Xiao Yan encountered any trouble, Lu Qingshan was not worried at all.

Perhaps there are even stronger experts in the world after Xiao Yan's ascension than Lu Qingshan is now, but in the small world of Doupo, even if he were to send a divine power avatar there, it would be enough to suppress everything.

[Xiao Yan: Actually, it's not much of a problem!]

[Xiao Yan: It's like this, group owner! My strength has now reached the nine-star Dou Sheng level, and I'll be fighting that Soul Emperor soon!]

[Pang Bo: @Xiao Yan, didn't you already cultivate to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm? Could it be that Soul Emperor has already broken through to the Dou Di realm?]

[Xiao Yan: No! The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade has always been in my possession. The Soul Emperor simply couldn't collect all eight pieces, so naturally he couldn't open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's tomb!]

[Pang Bo: Then what else do you have to ask for help with? You can't possibly be someone who can't even defeat the Soul Emperor if you're at the same cultivation level, can you?]

[Xiao Yan: No, that's not it!]

[Xiao Yan: The main problem is that the Soul Clan set up many 'Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Arrays' beneath the Central Plains a long time ago. These arrays are extremely insidious formations from ancient times, capable of turning all living beings within their range into blood foam, and then directly extracting energy from that blood foam!] [Xiao Yan: Once I really fight that Soul Emperor, he might activate those Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Arrays. Although I don't care about the increased power he gains, countless lives in the Central Plains will surely be lost!]

[Xiao Yan: I felt a little reluctant, which is why I wanted to ask the group leader to come and take charge!]

[Pang Bo: I see! But couldn't you have destroyed those Soul-Devouring Life-Severing Arrays beforehand?]

[Xiao Yan: The Soul Clan has set up many Soul Devouring Life-Severing Arrays, and I have no idea of ​​their exact locations! Although I discovered one before, it's surrounded by powerful Soul Clan members. If I alert them, they might launch their plan prematurely!]

[Pang Bo: That's indeed a troublesome matter. I'm afraid only the group admin can handle it!]

[Xiao Yan: That's why I wanted to ask the group leader to come and keep things under control! If that Soul Emperor really activates the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array, please, group leader, intervene to stop him!]

[Xiao Yan: @Lu Qingshan, Group Owner, I know this will be a lot of trouble for you, so I'm willing to use my 100,000 points as payment. Please help me!]

After reading the conversation between Xiao Yan and Pang Bo, Lu Qingshan felt a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, mixed feelings).

It must be said that Xiao Yan's character remains as steadfast as ever.

Although he can be a bit unreliable when chatting in the group, you can still see his strong sense of righteousness when things happen like this.

After all, 100,000 points are still very valuable. Even if Xiao Yan breaks through to the Dou Di realm, he can still activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function once.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly spoke up in the chat group.

[Lu Qingshan: @Xiao Yan, this is simple. Just let me know when you're ready to fight that Soul Emperor. There definitely won't be any unexpected problems!]

In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Yan, who had just left the Gu Clan with Gu Xun'er, felt all the pressure in his heart disappear after seeing Lu Qingshan's reply.

He didn't care at all about the Soul Emperor, who possessed the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng.

After all, just now, he had easily won in a sparring match with his father-in-law, Gu Yuan.

In fact, if it weren't for Gu Xun'er, he could have seriously injured or even killed Gu Yuan within ten moves.

Before breaking through to the Dou Di level, Hun Tiandi's strength was similar to Gu Yuan's, so he was naturally no match for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan quickly expressed his gratitude in the chat group.

[Xiao Yan: Thank you so much for your help, group owner! I am extremely grateful!]

[System notification: Xiao Yan transferred 100000 points to Lu Qingshan.]

Once the others in the chat group saw that Xiao Yan and Lu Qingshan had finished discussing things, they continued chatting.

[Pang Bo: @Xiao Yan, remember to go live later! That Soul Emperor was quite powerful in the original story, but I never expected that he wouldn't even have a chance to break through to Dou Di and would fall into your hands!]

[Meng Huan: The actions of that Soul Emperor are quite similar to those of the demonic cultivators on our side; they are both people who will stop at nothing to become stronger!]

[Han Li: Putting aside his character, the Soul Emperor's methods and strength are actually astonishing! If Xiao Yan hadn't appeared, he could definitely have become a Dou Di powerhouse capable of dominating the Dou Qi Continent!]

[Pang Bo: Why worry about so much? But I'd really like to see the battle between Brother Xiao Yan and that Soul Emperor! @Xiao Yan, remember to stream it!]

[Xiao Yan: No problem! I'll start the live stream as soon as I'm ready!]

……

The world of Swallowed Star, Lu Qingshan's divine realm.

Seeing the 100,000 points Xiao Yan gave him, Lu Qingshan was quite happy.

It should be noted that after he broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, each time he activated the Enlightenment Blessing function in the chat group, it cost him 240,000 points.

This is only because, as the group owner, he can enjoy a 20% discount when he activates the Enlightenment Blessing function.

Although billions of epochs have passed in his world, due to the different time flow rates in various worlds, not much time has passed in the chat group.

So even though the number of members in the chat group increased considerably, including members like Li Yunlong, Gao Yao, and Yale who didn't require a lot of points, Lu Qingshan still accumulated very few points.

After obtaining the points, Lu Qingshan mostly used them to comprehend the Dao of the Beast God.

He had only received the inheritance from the Ancestral God Sect's inheritance site a dozen times when he fully comprehended the fifth level of the Beast God's Way.

However, comprehending the Way of the Beast God often becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.

Lu Qingshan spent twenty-one attempts to comprehend the sixth level of the Path of the Beast God using the enlightenment enhancement function within the chat group before he could fully grasp it.

After comprehending the sixth level of the Path of the Beast God, Lu Qingshan naturally wanted to continue to comprehend the seventh level of the Path of the Beast God.

To this day, Lu Qingshan has gone to that inheritance site to receive the seventh level of the Beast God inheritance more than sixty times, and he basically activates the enlightenment blessing function in the chat group every time.

Even now, he still hasn't fully comprehended the seventh level of the Path of the Beast God.

In addition, to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe using the Path of the Beast God, one needs to not only fully comprehend the seventh level of the Path of the Beast God, but also comprehend the 'Heart of the Beast God'.

The Heart of the Beast God is too ethereal and elusive, so Lu Qingshan has not yet fully comprehended it.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at his points in the chat group: 179563 points!

"With the points Xiao Yan transferred to me, I can activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function again!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "My understanding of the Path of the Beast God is now among the best of all the seventh-level Beast God inheritors. I believe it won't be long before I master the complete Law of Thunder-Time Fusion!"

"At that time, all I need to do is comprehend the Heart of the Beast God, and I can smoothly step into the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

Lu Qingshan was not worried that comprehending the complete Path of the Beast God would affect his own cultivation, after all, the inheritor of the Beast God was different from the divine generals and divine messengers.

Those candidates for divine messenger and divine general all received the complete inheritance of divine messenger and divine general and then obtained the innate secret techniques bestowed by the original will of the universe. Only in this way could they rapidly improve their strength, and then it would be very difficult for them to break through again!

Even if the inheritor of the Beast God comprehends the complete Way of the Beast God, as long as they do not choose to inherit the position of the supreme ruler, they will not be affected in any way.

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has collected Xiao Yan's points.]

After receiving Xiao Yan's points, Lu Qingshan quickly created a divine avatar and sent it to the Battle Through the Heavens world.

However, the divine power clone he created this time did not carry much power; it was only equivalent to being granted the title of Marquis and becoming immortal.

After all, based on the points required to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function in the chat group, the Dou Di in the Doupo Cangqiong world is only equivalent to the Immortal God realm.

Lu Qingshan sent out an avatar with the strength of a Marquis, which was enough to suppress everything.

After Lu Qingshan sensed the world of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Yan quickly sought out the Soul Emperor of the Soul Clan.

It must be said that, in terms of overall strength alone, the Soul Clan is indeed the most powerful of the eight ancient clans.

Not to mention the Soul Emperor, who possesses the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng, or figures like the Void Devouring Flame, whose strength is terrifying.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing Xiao Yan, who had a double cheat code!
The ensuing battle proceeded without any unexpected events.

Soul Emperor was successfully killed by Xiao Yan, and even Void Devouring Flame was directly fused into Xiao Yan's body using the "Burning Technique".

The Soul Clan originally wanted to launch the Soul Devouring Life-Severing Array in a desperate attempt, but since Lu Qingshan's divine power avatar had already arrived, how could they possibly allow such a thing to happen?

Having resolved everything cleanly and efficiently, Lu Qingshan briefly browsed the Battle Through the Heavens world before stepping into the interdimensional teleportation channel and returning to the Swallowed Star world.

　The chapter from this morning is from yesterday. I'm not sleepy now, so I'll finish writing the second chapter before going to bed...
