The Heaven Soul

Just as Lu Yan'an was getting excited, the Zuoshanke continued, "My third disciple, I hope you won't follow in your second senior brother's footsteps! And I hope my decision to make an exception and accept a disciple this time wasn't a mistake!"

The sigh from the Zuoshanke was practically a veiled insult, but Lu Yan'an felt no emotional fluctuation whatsoever; in fact, he almost wanted to laugh. How so? To become a peculiar figure like the Yan Di was quite a challenge for him.

The Zuoshanke had two disciples in this Primal Universe: his eldest disciple Pu Ti, was the Universe Master; his second disciple, Yan Di, Yan Di leader of the Yan Shen Race, was also the Universe Master. However, compared to the obedient Pu Ti, his second disciple, Yan Di, was quite outrageous.

Because the Zuoshanke neglected the importance of mental state when nurturing and guiding the Yan Shen Race, the Yan Shen Race Clan possessed extremely high innate talent, but their mental state was extremely poor. Although the Yan Di possessed the strength of Universe Master, his personality was extremely twisted and selfish, and he even betrayed the human race.

"The Yuan Planet lineage is a child I guided." The mountain-like Zuoshanke looked down at Lu Yan'an, his voice booming, "You passed my test and became my disciple. It's just a pity that you broke through too quickly and missed the Star Tower's recognition of its master! Otherwise, you would probably be my last disciple."

After hearing what the Zuoshanke said, Lu Yan'an's expression became quite subtle. He was well aware of his own limitations; at the World Lord stage, it was impossible for him to pass the life-or-death test of the Star Tower. But he couldn't say this outright, so Lu Yan'an could only remain silent.

"Disciple Lu Yan'an, you haven't called me 'teacher' yet." After a moment of silence, as if he felt the time was right, the Zuoshanke looked at Lu Yan'an and smiled.

Lu Yan'an knelt down respectfully and called out, "Teacher!"

This Zuoshanke is the guide of the Yuan Planet lineage, and can even be said to be the "creator" of the Yuan Planet lineage. Without him, there would be no Yuan Planet lineage. Therefore, Lu Yan'an's bow was not forced, especially since the Zuoshanke himself was carrying Supreme Treasure gift pack, which made it even less of a burden!

"Good."

"You are my disciple, and I am your teacher; it is my duty to fulfill this responsibility." The Zuoshanke's voice boomed as he looked down at Lu Yan'an. "I have three habits when teaching my disciples. First, I like to prepare the most superior resources in the universe for them. Second, I will not teach any secret techniques. Third, whether you live or die, I will not care, and it is impossible for me to Reverse Time and Space and resurrect you after your death."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an appeared slightly taken aback, instantly adopting a rather surprised expression.

"True super-strong individuals cannot be taught." Seeing that Lu Yan'an seemed somewhat confused, the Zuoshanke said in a low voice, "Everything depends on yourself. Every Universe Master, or even the strongest individual, has reached that level by Creation Secret Technique."

"You can't become strong if you always have a teacher protecting you."

"I teach my disciples, but not secret techniques, and I don't care about their lives or deaths. I only provide them with resources Supreme Treasure," Zuoshanke. "If you perish on your way to becoming a super strong person, then that's just your fate! No matter which disciple you are, even if it's your second senior brother or your future fourth junior brother, I will use the same training program!"

The sound was deafening, penetrating straight to the soul.

At this moment, the voice of this Zuoshanke seemed to possess endless magic, compelling people to believe him without their consent.

"Understood," Lu Yan'an replied respectfully.

"You understand the principle. No matter how powerful the teacher is, no matter how many resources or how many treasures are provided, if the disciple doesn't cultivate... then it's impossible to even become an immortal." The Zuoshanke said in a low voice, "External resources are important, but personal effort is even more important. However, the stronger one's strength, the less effective external help becomes. With endless treasures, even someone with poor aptitude can be cultivated into an immortal as long as they actively cultivate."

"To cultivate Universe Venerable ... requires rigorous self-effort. Becoming Universe Master is even more difficult, with a path fraught with obstacles. If one becomes Universe Master ... and wants to advance further to my level, no treasure will be of any use. Your eldest and second eldest brothers are both stuck at this step for endless Years. Apart from the Giant Axe Founder, none of the rest of your Human Race have taken that final step."

"Oh, wait! I almost forgot, it seems your human race's City Lord of Chaos took that final step not long ago!" The Zuoshanke shook his head as if recalling something. "Now that you are Universe Venerable, if you need to advance further, you will certainly need the tempering of blood and fire! Go to the Universe Ocean! That is the place you truly belong!"

"Disciple understands, and disciple is prepared to go to the Universe Ocean. After paying respects to Master, disciple will accompany the Giant Axe Founder of our human race and the City Lord of Chaos to the Universe Ocean!" Lu Yan'an humbly explained in response to the advice from the Zuoshanke.

Many powerful individuals fear the lack of sufficient resources. Why do top-tier clans and super powers fight and kill each other? It's all for resources! Clans need resources to nurture geniuses! The growth of powerful individuals also requires resources! Fortunately, the Universe Ocean possesses endless resources. Whether for personal improvement or to help the development of one's clan, the Universe Ocean is a must-visit destination.

The resources that the Zuoshanke can provide are absolutely massive. They can help Lu Yan'an shorten the time he needs to accumulate power, and at least enable Lu Yan'an to protect himself when facing powerful enemies!

"Originally, I only planned to take on three disciples! And at that time, I also prepared two Supreme Treasure for my second and third disciples."

There are four Supreme Treasure in total.

"Among them, three Supreme Treasure are of similar quality, except for the Star Tower!"

"Of my third disciple's two Supreme Treasure, the 'Star Tower' is quite special, even stronger than my second disciple's Supreme Treasure," the Zuoshanke remarked. "Back then, I spent countless precious materials and treasures to refine Supreme Treasure 'Star Tower,' but some unexpected events occurred, greatly increasing its power! It can be considered one of the strongest Supreme Treasure in the universe!"

"Although its power has greatly increased, the most basic act of recognizing its master has become a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult."

"In order for this Star Tower to recognize its master, I specifically guided the Yuan Planet lineage, whose souls possess a stronger will and consciousness. Even so, the first and second candidates still failed. I still don't know when my third disciple will appear!" The Zuoshanke said with a sigh, a hint of dejection in his eyes.

"However, your appearance has made me change my mind about only accepting three disciples for the first time!" The Zuoshanke quickly composed himself and looked at Lu Yan'an with admiration. "Born from Yuan Planet, and able to comprehend the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master at the Universe Venerable stage, and even having extremely profound attainments in the Life Gene Level and soul direction!"

"In less than 100,000 Years, you have traversed a path that countless powerful beings could not complete in a single lifetime. From a native being to where you are today, you truly deserve my change of heart!"

"I will treat all my disciples equally, and I will also prepare two supreme treasures exclusively for you, both of the same Supreme Treasure as the other three Supreme Treasures!"

In the grand hall surrounded by countless Zhenfeng Star, the Zuoshanke looked down at Lu Yan'an and spoke slowly and kindly, but his voice boomed and echoed throughout the hall. As a unique life form in the universe, his body was born over 90,000 kilometers tall, which made him accustomed to speaking in a voice like thunder.

"The soul is its most vulnerable point! Perhaps after my assassination attempt on you within the Ancestral God Religion, your Human Race has realized this problem and bestowed upon you soul-related Supreme Treasure once again, but that is far from enough!"

"If you only stayed in the Primal Universe, that would be fine; generally speaking, high-level or top-tier Soul-type Supreme Treasure would be sufficient. But the powerhouses within the Universe Ocean have no upper limit to the strength they can unleash!"

As he spoke, a purple crystal suddenly appeared in the hand of the Zuoshanke, and with a casual wave of his hand, the exquisite purple crystal directly merged into Lu Yan'an's soul.

"This is Heaven Soul! Peak Soul-type Supreme Treasure! It was a companion Supreme Treasure I discovered when I was searching for a Heaven Soul Crystal, a treasure that could record one of my secret techniques." A voice then entered Lu Yan'an's ears.
