Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 381 Chat Group Upgrade and Comprehension Enhancement

In the world of Swallowed Star, within Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom.

"The cultivation system in the sequel to Journey to the West should offer some assistance in cultivating one's mind!"

Having just returned from the sequel to Journey to the West, Lu Qingshan quickly recalled his experiences of discussing and sparring with Mo Luo Wutian.

In terms of realm alone, Wutian and he were almost on par.

However, due to the difference in cultivation systems, Lu Qingshan's strength was completely superior to Wutian's.

However, the cultivation system in the sequel to Journey to the West has some unique aspects in terms of cultivating the mind, so Lu Qingshan also gained some inspiration when discussing the Dao with Wutian.

However, due to the rules of the chat group, members cannot cultivate after crossing realms, so Lu Qingshan naturally wouldn't linger in other worlds for too long.

As for Wutian's question about his specific background, Lu Qingshan simply gave a perfunctory answer.

"I wonder what level Wutian and Tathagata will reach after they unite their two minds!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "But with my intervention this time, Wutian and Tathagata probably won't have a chance to reconcile their minds anytime soon!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind...

In the chat group.

[System notification: Beishan Baiwei has uploaded a designated red envelope containing 100 jin of Yuanye!]

[Beishan Baiwei: @Lu Qingshan, Group Owner, these are some cultivation resources from my world. Although their value is far less than the Azure Heaven Fruit you gave me, I still hope you will accept them!]

[Beishan Baiwei: When I have the opportunity to earn points in the future, I will transfer them to you as a reward!]

Seeing Beishan Baiwei's message to him, Lu Qingshan's heart stirred slightly.

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has received a red envelope from Beishan Baiwei.]

[Lu Qingshan: @Beishan Baiwei, you don't need to be so polite. We've all been fortunate enough to join this chat group together, so it's only natural that we should help each other.]

[Xiao Yan: This is so boring! I originally thought you, the group leader, would be fighting fiercely in that Journey to the West sequel world, but I didn't expect you to solve the problem so easily!]

[Ye Chen: @Xiao Yan, what you're saying is good, it's actually a good thing the group admin resolved things so easily!]

[Xiao Yan: It's good news, but we'll miss out on the excitement!]

[Ye Chen: Want to watch the show? No problem! Once my demon army arrives, you can come and watch. Who knows, you might even be able to help my human side kill a few demon supreme beings!]

[Xiao Yan: @Ye Chen, I wonder who is stronger, your Supreme or mine? I've now entered the Supreme realm and am looking for some opponents to hone my skills!]

[Pang Bo: @Xiao Yan, your cultivation speed is really fast! When you first joined the chat group, your strength was only slightly stronger than the average person, but now it has improved by leaps and bounds. Now, apart from the group owner, there shouldn't be many people in the group who can surpass you in strength!]

[Xiao Yan: Actually, I'm just lucky! The enlightenment enhancement function in this chat group and the "Burning Flame Technique" really complement each other. If it weren't for the enlightenment enhancement function helping me quickly refine various strange flames, I probably wouldn't even be able to reach the Dou Zong realm by now, but I've already cultivated to the Supreme realm!]

[Pang Bo: Your experience is truly enviable! I wish I could improve my skills as quickly as you!]

[Xiao Yan: @Pang Bo, Brother Pang, your strength is quite impressive! You're much, much stronger than you were at the same time in the original story. Now, let alone the younger generation, even the older generation of powerhouses probably wouldn't be your match!]

[Pang Bo: Those older generation powerhouses are indeed not to be feared! But in my world, there are many kings, and even saints, sealed within divine sources!]

While everyone was chatting...

[System notification: Increased activity detected in the chat group; the chat group is starting to upgrade!]

[System notification: It has been detected that all group members have made contributions to the chat group upgrade and will receive a reward.]

[System notification: Chat group update is complete!]

Three consecutive system messages interrupted the chat in the group.

[Xiao Yan: This has been a long time coming! It's been so long since the chat group was upgraded last time, and we've finally waited for it to be upgraded again!]

[Yue Buqun: But it seems like this chat group upgrade didn't add any new features!]

[Cao Cao: It's not a big deal if there are no new features, as long as we get more points!]

[Pang Bo: That's right! I'm currently lacking points to activate the Enlightenment Blessing feature in the chat group. The chat group has been upgraded for so long, hopefully it will give us a few more points!]

By this time, most group members had been in the chat group for a long time and had more or less activated the enlightenment blessing function in the chat group.

Even if one doesn't need to use the Enlightenment Enhancement function much during cultivation, one still has to use points to exchange for resources from Lu Qingshan.

This is why, apart from the more laid-back Tianmeng Bingcan and Yale, everyone else in the group is very short of points.

[Xiao Yan: I didn't expect the chat group to be so generous this time, directly rewarding me with over 50,000 points. Combined with my previous accumulations, that's almost enough for me to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function again!]

[Xiao Yan: Once I use the Enlightenment Enhancement function to fuse with this strange flame I just acquired, I believe my strength will increase significantly!]

[Pang Bo: Wow, Xiao Yan, you've struck it rich! But I've struck it rich too. The chat group upgrade just gave me nearly 60,000 points, probably even more than you!]

[Yue Buqun: I only gained a little over 30,000 points this time, but besides that, I also received a special reward!]

[Pang Bo: A special reward?]

[Ye Chen: A special reward?]

For a moment, everyone in the group was slightly taken aback after seeing Yue Buqun's words.

Among them, Ye Fan, Meng Huan and others had never encountered this situation before, so they were only somewhat puzzled by what Yue Buqun said.

But Pang Bo is different!
As one of the earliest members to join the chat group, Pang Bo received special rewards when he leveled up in the chat group.

The reward Pang Bo received at the time was a bloodline transformation, and it was precisely because of that special reward that he possessed an even more terrifying physique, probably not much different from Ye Fan's Sacred Body.

So when Pang Bo heard Yue Buqun say that he had received a special reward, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

[Pang Bo: @Yue Buqun, Mr. Yue, you're really lucky! You even got a special reward!]

[Yue Buqun: My special reward is still a world level increase, but compared to that, I'd like to get more points!]

For Yue Buqun, if he could have more points, he could exchange them for more resources from the group leader Lu Qingshan, thereby accelerating his cultivation speed.

However, the improvement of the world level does not have much effect on the improvement of his own realm.

But at this moment...

[Xiao Yan: @Yue Buqun, Mr. Yue, you're mistaken!]

[Xiao Yan: Although the rewards for leveling up in the world are far less than a large sum of points in the short term, they are very important in the long run!]

[Xiao Yan: Just like me! After I broke through to the Dou Di realm on the Dou Qi Continent, even with the help of the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group, it was still quite difficult to improve my strength!]

[Xiao Yan: But ever since I ascended to this Great Thousand World, the invisible shackles that bound my cultivation have disappeared, and my cultivation speed has once again begun to advance by leaps and bounds, just like before!]

[Xiao Yan: This is the benefit of increasing your world level. The reason you can't feel it now is simply because your strength hasn't reached its bottleneck yet. You'll understand the benefits of this reward later!]

[Yue Buqun: So that's how it is! @Xiao Yan, thank you for your guidance, Brother Xiao Yan!]

[Cao Cao: My reward this time is quite similar to Mr. Yue's, both are a world level increase, only the points reward is less than 30,000 points!]

[Xiao Yan: That's already pretty good! With the world's level increasing, you'll be able to reach even higher realms in the future!]

[Han Li: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?! This time, not only did I not receive any special rewards, but I also only have a little over 40,000 points!]

[Han Li: I've been quite active in the group chat lately, so why are my points so much lower than yours? @Pang Bo, @Xiao Yan!]

[Pang Bo: You have the nerve to say that? You're always the first to respond to anything in the group, and you're always the first to show up for any benefits!]

[Pang Bo: In my opinion, you've already done pretty well to get over 40,000 points. If I were in a chat group, I wouldn't have given you a single point!]

[Han Li: @Pang Bo, Brother Pang, that's going too far! You didn't say that when you exchanged the pills from me before!]

[Pang Bo: @Han Li, just kidding, you're so rude!]

[Xiao Yan: @Han Li, Brother Han, I think you haven't been participating in enough group activities. You didn't go when the Yale brothers invited us over, and you didn't go to Meng Huan's either!]

[Beishan Baiwei: I only got 1.2 points.] [Li Shimin: I also only got 1.2 points! Everyone, I wonder what these points are for?]

[Xiao Yan: @Beishan Baiwei, @Li Shimin, your low points are probably because you just joined the chat group. I believe you'll earn more points in the future!]

[Xiao Yan: Points have many uses. For example, they can be used to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function in the chat group, making cultivation easier; they can also be used to exchange for various resources needed by other members in the group, which are very useful for both cultivation and world development; points can also be used to invite other members in the group to help, etc...]

[Xiao Yan: In short, points are like currency within the group, allowing you to do many things you couldn't do on your own normally!]

[Pang Bo: That's right! Actually, you guys are doing pretty well! When I first joined the chat group, my points weren't even a fraction of what you guys had!]

[Pang Bo: The reason you newcomers have earned so many points is probably because the number of members in the chat group has increased significantly, and you've also leveled up! Now you have over 10,000 points, which should be enough for you to cultivate for a long time if you exchange them for cultivation resources from the group owner!]

[Ye Chen: @Li Shimin, King Qin, your world is rather ordinary. If you want to develop it quickly, you can use your points to redeem a basic construction gift pack from the group owner. This will greatly help in developing your world!]

[Xiao Yan: Yes, King Qin! You could actually learn from the development of Cao Cao's world. His world was originally very similar to yours, but it has since undergone a complete transformation!]

[Li Shimin: Thank you both for your guidance. I will definitely consider it carefully.]

Looking at the chat messages in the group, Lu Qingshan quickly claimed the rewards he received after the chat group was upgraded.

[System notification: Because you made a significant contribution to the chat group upgrade and helped many group members, your privileges within the chat group have been enhanced!]

Lu Qingshan didn't feel much when he saw the reward. After all, he had been the group owner for a long time, and the atmosphere in the group had always been very good, so he had never used any special privileges.

[System notification: You have earned 85473 points!]

Upon seeing this reward, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I've been quite active in the group lately!"

It should be noted that as the group leader, Lu Qingshan's basic points alone were three times that of others. In addition, his Endless Divine Sea clone would also continuously send out a wisp of consciousness water while cultivating, so the fact that he was able to obtain so many points was already quite impressive.

Moreover, while 80,000 points was a lot for Lu Qingshan in the past, it is only one-tenth of the points he needs to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function now that he has broken through to the Universe Lord realm.

"I wonder how long it will take me to accumulate enough points to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function!"

After this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his attention to the last reward he had received.

[System notification: Your comprehension has improved to some extent!]

Upon seeing this last reward, Lu Qingshan's face quickly showed a hint of excitement.

You should know that since he transmigrated to the world of Swallowed Star, his biggest weakness has been his lack of comprehension.

He had cultivated for over eight million years without breaking through to the Immortal Realm. In the end, he relied on the accumulation of his family over many years and his own efforts to gather 30,000 Chaos Units before he could exchange them for a spot to comprehend the Initial Universe.

Later, after entering the primordial universe to comprehend the truth, he successfully grasped the complete fundamental laws of lightning, thus entering the realm of immortality. Only then did he join this chat group of all the heavens.

If he had been more perceptive back then, he might have been able to join one of the five super powers of the human race through the Genius Battle or the Strongest Battle, thus joining the All-Heavens Chat Group earlier.

Later, during an upgrade of the All-Heavens Chat Group, Lu Qingshan's comprehension improved, and with the help of the comprehension enhancement function within the chat group, he was able to successfully cultivate to his current level as the Lord of the Universe.

However, compared to the current rulers of the universe among the human race, Lu Qingshan's current comprehension is clearly inadequate.

If it weren't for the enlightenment enhancement function within the chat group, he probably would never have been able to catch up with the other universe masters of the human race.

Moreover, now that he has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, he would need 800,000 points to activate the Enlightenment Blessing function in the chat group again, even with the benefits of being the group owner.

Therefore, as his strength continues to increase, it will definitely become increasingly difficult for him to unlock the Enlightenment Enhancement function in the future.

As a result, comprehension naturally becomes increasingly important on his path of cultivation.

Moreover, in the world of Swallowed Star, comprehension itself is extremely important on the path of cultivation.

If one has poor comprehension, one may cultivate for endless years without much improvement in strength;
However, if one has strong enough comprehension, like Luo Feng in the original work, tens of thousands of years of cultivation would be enough to rival a cosmic venerable!

After Lu Qingshan's comprehension improved, he was already equivalent to a regular Universe Venerable.

Such talent is sufficient even at the level of immortal gods or even cosmic venerables. With the help of the enlightenment enhancement function, his cultivation speed can even surpass that of other cosmic venerables.

But now that he has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, his comprehension is somewhat lacking!

If his comprehension cannot be improved again, then if he wants to improve his strength in the future, he will only be able to rely on the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group to grind it up little by little!

But now it's completely different!

At this moment, Lu Qingshan quietly sensed the changes within himself and discovered that his comprehension had indeed improved significantly.

When he was trying to create the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, he could feel his own progress, but the speed was extremely slow. Even if he could successfully create the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe in the end, it would probably take a long time.
But now, his mind is constantly bursting with inspiration, and the ideas for creating the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe are endless. He believes that he only needs to go into seclusion for a short period of time to create the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

This practically boosted his comprehension by a huge margin!

"Based on the information I've gathered from my previous conversations with Master Ice Peak..."

Lu Qingshan felt the transformation in his own comprehension: "My comprehension is probably a notch above that of Master Ice Peak now. Even without the help of the comprehension enhancement function in the chat group, I will still have the opportunity to create the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord!"

"Among the human race today, those who surpass me in comprehension are probably only a handful, such as the Primordial Ancestor, the Founder of the Giant Axe, and the Lord of Chaos City!"

"Although my comprehension isn't particularly strong yet, with the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group, my future cultivation path will definitely be smoother!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was sensing the changes in his own comprehension...

In the chat group.

[Cao Cao: Group owner, I'd like to exchange for more resources...]

[Gao Yao: Group owner, me too!]

After gaining a large number of points from the chat group upgrade, Yue Buqun, Cao Cao, Li Yunlong, and others, whose worlds were originally relatively resource-scarce, quickly began using their points to exchange for resources from Lu Qingshan.

However, they had earned a lot of points this time, so in addition to using the points to exchange for resources from Lu Qingshan, they also kept some points for themselves.

After all, their strength has increased significantly over time, so sometimes they need to use the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group to cultivate.

Meanwhile, Yue Buqun and his group were using their points to exchange for resources from Lu Qingshan...

[System notification: Ao Lie transferred 12000 points to Lu Qingshan.]

[Ao Lie: Group Admin, thank you so much for telling me about the plot of "Journey to the West: The Sequel" and for helping me resolve the possibility of my senior brother sacrificing himself. I think these points will be helpful to you, so I'll transfer them to you. Although it's not enough to repay your help, it's a token of my appreciation!]

As soon as Ao Lie said this, the chat group quickly fell silent.

In the world of Swallowed Star.

Lu Qingshan, inside the Divine Kingdom, felt quite gratified as he looked at the points Ao Lie had transferred to him.

Although he hadn't asked for anything in return when he helped Ao Lie, he was naturally very happy that Ao Lie was now repaying his kindness.

So after receiving the more than 10,000 points that Ao Lie transferred to him, Lu Qingshan quickly prepared a set of resources that were very suitable for cultivation for the other party.

Although the sequel to Journey to the West also has many cultivation resources, it is far inferior to the world of Swallowed Star in both quantity and quality.

Immediately afterwards...

[System notification: Beishan Baiwei transferred 12000 points to Lu Qingshan.]

[Beishan Baiwei: Group owner, I am very grateful that you uploaded "Mang Huang Ji" to the group and even gave me a Qing Tian Fruit to help Brother Ji Ning's father. I hope these points will be helpful to you!]

Seeing the points Beishan Baiwei gave him, Lu Qingshan was quite impressed.

If he had put in a lot of effort to travel to the sequel to Journey to the West, then the Azure Heaven Fruit he had previously acquired was nothing to mention.

Now, Beishan Baiwei has transferred all the points she earned to him, which is a rare and precious gesture.

However, Lu Qingshan, who was already short of points, did not refuse Beishan Baiwei's kindness. Instead, after accepting the points, he also helped her prepare a very suitable gift.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty world also quickly transferred the points he had just earned to Lu Qingshan.

After accepting these points, Lu Qingshan quickly used the resources he had previously given to Cao Cao to help Li Shimin prepare numerous infrastructure development packages and basic cultivation packages, among others...

Afterwards, Lu Qingshan used his many resources to exchange for a lot of points with other people in the group before he could focus his attention on the real world.
