Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 470 Chat Group Upgrade and Changes in Everyone

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

"Although the cultivation methods of the Desolate Era world cannot be directly practiced in this Devouring Star world, they still have some reference value!"

Looking at the Desolate Era World cultivation technique that Beishan Baiwei had just given him through his monthly free red envelope quota, Lu Qingshan thought to himself.

These techniques are completely incompatible with the cultivation system of the primordial universe and are certainly unsuitable for life forms in the primordial universe.

Especially for those who have just begun to cultivate, if they force themselves to practice these techniques, not only will their progress be very slow, but they may even achieve nothing.
But as the saying goes, "The three thousand great paths lead to the same destination!"
As strength increases, the differences caused by the different world become smaller and smaller.

Just like Luo Feng in the original novel, after entering the Source World, he encountered powerful individuals with different cultivation paths.

Some people are born into worlds where the Great Dao is poisonous, and the more they cultivate, the closer they get to death. They must break through to the next realm before the next cultivation session. As such, their cultivation paths naturally differ.

Because of different cultivation styles, the titles of powerful individuals above the God King realm are also different.

Some call it the God Emperor Realm (as is the case with the powerful figures of the Origin Continent), some call it the God Sovereign Realm, some call it the Witch Ancestor Realm, some call it the Dao Lord Realm, and so on...

Of course, the Dao Lord here is far superior to the Dao Lord of Life and Death realm in the Desolate Era world.

This is why, as their strength increases, it becomes much easier to observe the cultivation methods of other worlds.

If it were cultivators at the God Emperor level, after seeing the cultivation methods from the Desolate Era world in Lu Qingshan's hands, they might immediately be able to apply them in other ways and completely transform them into cultivation methods from the Origin Continent.
Of course, for cultivators at the God Emperor level, these cultivation methods are of no use.

Now that Lu Qingshan is at the level of the Lord of the Universe, although he cannot comprehend these cultivation methods at a glance like the powerhouses at the God Emperor level, he can still gain some insights into his own cultivation by studying them in his spare time.

As various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind...

[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!]

The group was having a lively chat, but these three consecutive system messages quickly interrupted their conversation.

[Ye Chen: It's been a long time! So much time has passed, and we've finally gotten this chat group upgraded again!]

[Pang Bo: Yeah, it was really tough. This chat group upgrade finally gave us a lot of points, enough to give us a break!]

[Xiao Yan: @Pang Bo, Brother Pang, the time flow ratio between your world of Shrouding the Heavens and the chat group isn't that big, right? I remember not much time had passed on your end!]

[Ye Chen: Yeah! Brother Pang, didn't you just reach the Sendai realm?]

[Pang Bo: It's precisely because I've cultivated to the Sendai realm that I need a large number of points to unlock the Enlightenment buff function!]

[Pang Bo: Now those old guys from the Holy Land are shamelessly teaming up to hunt me down. I wouldn't be afraid if they came one by one, but they're coming at me all at once!]

[Pang Bo: If I can get more points this time, I'm afraid I'll be able to reach the second level of Sendai very soon. Then those old guys won't be able to do anything to me!]

[Xiao Yan: @Pang Bo, your world truly lives up to its name as a world where everyone is an enemy! In the original story, Ye Fan was constantly being hunted down, and now you're being hunted down too. It's just too tragic!]

[Pang Bo: That's not it! The ones who really suffered were those holy sites! If I hadn't obtained so many treasures from their treasuries and tombs, those old guys wouldn't have been chasing me!]

[Pang Bo: Moreover, the pursuit by these old guys has a certain tempering effect on my cultivation; consider it a whetstone for me!]

[Xiao Yan: @Pang Bo, you deserved to steal someone's grave!]

[Han Li: @Pang Bo, you deserved to steal someone's grave!]

[Yue Buqun: @Pang Bo, Brother Pang Bo, robbing someone's grave is really inappropriate!]

After seeing Pang Bo's words, everyone in the chat group temporarily forgot about the chat group upgrade and started criticizing Pang Bo.

[Pang Bo: You guys are really something! I don't rob every tomb in every holy site; I only rob the tombs of those holy sites that hunted me down!]

[Pang Bo: They hunted me down because I possessed treasure, so does that mean I can't rob their tombs?]

[Xiao Yan: That's not a problem!]

[Ye Chen: Let's see how many points we got this time! The chat group seems quite generous this time, they actually gave me over 40,000 points!]

[Pang Bo: Wow, you actually got so many points? Luckily, I didn't fare badly either; I also got over 40,000 points this time. Looks like this crisis is about to be resolved!]

[Xiao Yan: I have quite a few points too, over 49,000. Adding those to my previous points, it should be enough for me to fuse another strange flame!]

[Xiao Yan: Once I fuse with the new flame, I should be able to smoothly advance to the Heavenly Sovereign realm!]

Even after venturing into the Great Thousand World, Xiao Yan still cultivated the same technique as before: the Burning Technique!
Of course, the version of "Burning Technique" that Xiao Yan was cultivating at this time was the latest version that he had optimized using the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group, and it was much more powerful than the original "Burning Technique".

Moreover, the "Burning Technique" can still help Xiao Yan devour various flames to evolve, just like before, and then rapidly improve Xiao Yan's strength. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yan was able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign realm so quickly.

[Han Li: I have a lot of points this time, over 51,000!]

[Pang Bo: Holy crap, you're always lurking and slacking off, how come you have more points than me? You're not cheating, are you?!]

[Pang Bo: @Lu Qingshan, group owner, I want to report someone cheating here!]

[Han Li: I've been spending all my time chatting in the chat group lately, okay? Why have I been lurking all this time?]

[Han Li: @Pang Bo, I've been much more active in the chat group lately than you. Don't believe me? Ask Xiao Yan and the others!]

[Xiao Yan: Brother Han has indeed been posting a lot more in the group lately, so I think 51,000+ points is quite normal!]

[Pang Bo: How is this possible? @Han Li, don't you need to cultivate now?]

[Han Li: Of course I need to cultivate! However, now that I've ascended to the Immortal Realm, my cultivation requires comprehending various laws, so I need points even more than before!]

Upon hearing Han Li's words, whether it was Yue Buqun from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Meng Huan from The Flying Sword Asks the Way, or Pang Bo and the others who had just spoken, they all couldn't help but nod secretly.

As time went by, they became more aware of the importance of points in the chat group.

It is because of these chat group points that they are able to exchange for many cultivation resources from other group members, and at the same time, they can also activate the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group.

Although the points required to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function increase with their strength, having such an opportunity for enlightenment is always much better than trying to comprehend it on their own, at least saving a lot of time.

Looking at the messages from everyone in the chat group, Lu Qingshan quickly claimed his reward.

[System notification: You have earned 167813 points!]

"Looks like I've been pretty active in this chat group lately!"

Looking at the points he had just earned, Lu Qingshan was quite happy.

As the group leader, his base points alone were three times that of Pang Bo and the others. In addition, his clone was constantly sending out a wisp of consciousness to the group, so it's not surprising that he was able to obtain so many points.

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

[Li Yunlong: Group owner, me too!]

Having acquired such a large number of points, Yue Buqun, Li Yunlong, and others, who were originally facing a shortage of world resources, naturally began to exchange their points for resources from Lu Qingshan once again.

Of course, they gained a lot of points this time, and they also need to cultivate themselves, so they naturally need to save some points to activate the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group.

Among them, Cao Cao, Yue Buqun, and Li Shimin kept more points for themselves, while Li Yunlong exchanged most of his points for various resources to explore the universe. Meanwhile, Yue Buqun and others were using their points to exchange for resources from Lu Qingshan…

[System notification: Beishan Baiwei transferred 44783 points to Lu Qingshan.]

[Yale: Group Admin, thank you so much for helping to resolve the crisis in the Three Realms and for leaving me so many resources. This is the score I earned this time; I hope you won't think it's too little!]

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

Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback when he saw the exact amount of points that Beishan Baiwei had transferred to him.

It should be noted that Beishan Baiwei has been in the group for a long time and has even cultivated to the True God realm by using the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group. Naturally, he knows how important the points are.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan had also made an agreement with Beishan Baiwei before leaving the Desolate Era world.

That means Beishan Baiwei only needs to use the subsequent free red envelope quota to send him the cultivation techniques he needs, and there is no need to continue transferring points to him.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the points, Beishan Baiwei transferred all the points she had just acquired back to him.

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

[Lu Qingshan: @Beishan Baiwei, didn't I say you didn't need to transfer any more points to me? Your cultivation also requires points, otherwise you'll probably fall far behind Ji Ning!]

[Beishan Baiwei: Group owner, thank you for your concern!]

[Beishan Baiwei: However, Ji Ning's cultivation speed is indeed too abnormal. Before, when I had more points and a lower realm, and the points required to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function were less, I could barely catch up with his cultivation speed!]

[Beishan Baiwei: Now that my cultivation level is higher, the points required to activate the Enlightenment Blessing function have also increased significantly. No matter what, I can't catch up with Ji Ning's cultivation speed, so group leader, you don't need to worry about me.]

[Beishan Baiwei: Moreover, Group Leader, your visit this time not only helped our Three Realms resolve the crisis brought by the Lord of Inner Demons and the Old Man of Source, but also brought back so many cultivation resources for me from the Great Mo Eternal Realm. This help is truly immense for me; if I don't express my gratitude, I'm afraid I'll develop inner demons myself.]

"This..." Lu Qingshan was quite moved after reading Beishan Baiwei's words.

In fact, the reason why Beishan Baiwei is not as good as Ji Ning in terms of cultivation progress is firstly because his talent is much worse than Ji Ning's, and secondly because he shares his opportunities with Ji Ning.

It's worth noting that with the help of Beishan Baiwei, many of the difficulties Ji Ning encountered in the Desolate Era storyline have been resolved.

For example, the death of one's father, betrayal by one's partner, etc...

Logically speaking, without these trials, Ji Ning's cultivation speed would definitely be much slower than in the original storyline.

However, Beishan Baiwei would share every opportunity she obtained with Ji Ning, so Ji Ning's strength was not much weaker than it was at the same time in the original work.

Especially after Lu Qingshan brought back cultivation resources from the Great Mo Eternal Realm, Beishan Baiwei also shared them with Ji Ning, which greatly improved Ji Ning's strength.

However, since Beishan Baiwei had said so, Lu Qingshan naturally couldn't refuse anymore.

[Lu Qingshan: @Beishan Baiwei, thank you so much!]

[Lu Qingshan: But I won't take these points for nothing; I've prepared a gift for you too!]

[System Notification: Lu Qingshan has uploaded a designated red envelope containing a cultivation gift pack!]

[Lu Qingshan: There are some cultivation techniques from my world here. Although they differ somewhat from your Desolate Era world, you might find them helpful! Besides, there are some cultivation resources here; you can try them out and see if they have any effect on your own cultivation!]

The cultivation resources in the Desolate Era world are quite abundant, but compared to the Devouring Star World where he lives, they are insignificant.

"I didn't expect to accumulate over 600,000 points so quickly!"

Looking at his points balance in the chat group, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

You should know that before he went to the Desolate Era World, he had very few points left due to his previous cultivation.

He then went to the Desolate Era world to help Beishan Baiwei solve a problem and earned 180,000 points. This time, the chat group upgrade also earned him nearly 170,000 points. In addition, the points consumed by others when exchanging resources from him, etc., directly increased his points to 670,000.

He now enjoys a 20% discount as the group owner, and only needs 800,000 points to activate the Enlightenment Blessing function in the chat group.

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

[Lu Qingshan: Does anyone have any extra points? If possible, could you exchange some with me? I plan to go into seclusion to cultivate, so I need some points to activate the Enlightenment Blessing function in the chat group!]

[System notification: Meng Huan transferred 53785 points to Lu Qingshan.]

[Meng Huan: Group owner, this is all the points I have right now. Feel free to take them if you need them!]

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan's plea for help, Meng Huan from the Flying Sword Asks the Way World quickly spoke up.

Actually, after he earned the points, he planned to save them up to continue using the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group.

After all, the Dao Ancestors in the Three Realms of the Flying Sword Asks the Way world have had to leave the Three Realms because of Amitabha's breakthrough, so the most powerful people in the Three Realms are those who have reached the Great Dao Perfection.

Among these Great Dao Perfection experts, his father, Qin Yun, was undoubtedly the most powerful.

Under Qin Yun's leadership, the righteous forces united to defeat the demonic forces who had reached the Great Dao Perfection stage, and even killed powerful figures such as Zhu Rong and Zhu Long, forcing the demonic forces to hide in the Dark Abyss.

Therefore, Meng Huan is not lacking in cultivation resources at all, and naturally uses all the points in his hand to activate the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group.

However, after seeing Lu Qingshan's request for help, Meng Huan transferred her points to Lu Qingshan without hesitation.

After all, when he asked Lu Qingshan for help, Lu Qingshan rushed to the Flying Sword Asks the Way World without hesitation.

Moreover, without Lu Qingshan's help, his father Qin Yun's path to becoming a powerful figure would certainly have been fraught with more twists and turns.

On the other hand, Lu Qingshan did not immediately accept the points that Meng Huan transferred to him.

[Lu Qingshan: @Meng Huan, what are you planning to exchange for from me this time?]

[Meng Huan: Group admin, you're too kind! You've helped me a lot before, please feel free to use these points!]

[Lu Qingshan: That won't do!]

[Lu Qingshan: In that case, I'll pass on some cultivation methods I just obtained in the Desolate Era world to you!]

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has uploaded a designated red envelope containing a cultivation method gift pack.]

[Lu Qingshan: These cultivation methods are quite similar to the Flying Sword Dao world you live in, and most of them are sword-based methods, which should be helpful to you and your father!]

[System notification: Meng Huan has received Lu Qingshan's designated red envelope.]

[Meng Huan: Thank you, group owner.]

Right after Meng Huan transferred a sum of points to Lu Qingshan, the other members of the group also took action.

Even those like Xiao Yan, Pang Bo, and Han Li, who desperately needed points to unlock the Enlightenment Enhancement function, were no exception.

After all, everyone in the group had received help from Lu Qingshan. If it weren't for the chat group and Lu Qingshan, they would have encountered more crises on the path to becoming strong, and they wouldn't have been able to reach their current level at this time.

Of course, Lu Qingshan, having received the points, certainly wouldn't treat them unfairly, and transferred a lot of resources they needed for cultivation to them as well.

After this exchange, Lu Qingshan had accumulated over a million points, enough for him to unlock the next Enlightenment Enhancement function.

Next, Lu Qingshan spent some more time communicating with these group members before focusing his attention on his own cultivation.
