Thunderlight Ancestor

Lu Qingshan had already logged off, so he naturally had no idea what had happened to the others in the chat group.

Now, Lu Qingshan was in the cultivation chamber, inspecting the gifts the others had sent him through the chat group.

Among these gifts, the fine jade and wine Cao Cao had sent were merely ordinary items, nothing special. Still, they represented Cao Cao's goodwill.

"As for the things Pang Bo sent me, they're rather profound!"

Lu Qingshan first looked at the damaged Buddhist artifact in his hand. "This Buddhist artifact is quite exquisitely crafted. When I forge weapons for myself in the future, I can draw some inspiration from it!"

After all, most force weapons, psychic weapons, and the like in the universe were only between the first and fifth tiers.

Even the so-called nine great controller weapons were merely relatively powerful fifth-tier psychic weapons.

For that reason, most immortal gods in the universe needed to forge divine weapons best suited to themselves. Only then could they perfectly combine them with their self-created secret techniques and unleash greater power.

"This fruit from the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine looks quite unusual as well!"

Lu Qingshan sent a thread of immortal divine power into it and actually detected faint fluctuations of the Wood Origin Law. "It actually contains traces of the Wood Origin Law. That counts as a small surprise!"

"Hm?"

A moment later, Lu Qingshan could not help letting out a soft sound of surprise. "The fluctuations of the Wood Origin Law are gradually weakening? Could it be because this Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine fruit has left its original world?"

"Never mind that!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, I should hurry and study it. Perhaps I can use this to step across the threshold of the Wood Origin Law!

With that thought, Lu Qingshan immediately had his divine power avatar swallow the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine fruit in one bite, then quickly began sensing the mysteries contained within it.

After Lu Qingshan immersed himself in cultivation, time continued to pass.

"Brother Qingshan!"

One day, while Lu Qingshan was quietly cultivating, he suddenly heard his wife Karina's voice beside him.

"Hm?"

Lu Qingshan opened his eyes at once. With a thought, the door to the cultivation chamber opened automatically.

Lu Qingshan looked up at his wife Karina and daughter Lu Wenxuan, who stood at the entrance, and asked in confusion, "Karina, is something the matter?"

"Brother Qingshan!" Karina hurriedly said from the doorway. "Thunderlight Ancestor of my Thunderlight Sea Royal Clan has arrived at Thunder Star and wishes to meet you!"

"Thunderlight Ancestor?" Lu Qingshan's heart stirred.

Before he had broken through to become immortal, Thunderlight Ancestor had been the only immortal god in the Thunderlight Sea Starfield and had ruled over it for countless years.

However, even after cultivating for endless years, Thunderlight Ancestor's strength was rather ordinary. He was probably not much stronger than the current Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan was not surprised at all by Thunderlight Ancestor's visit.

After all, his breakthrough to become an immortal god was a major event for the entire Thunderlight Sea Starfield.

A short while later, Lu Qingshan brought Karina and Lu Wenxuan to the castle's reception room.

At that moment, a figure radiating a powerful aura was seated inside.

He wore a purple robe, and his face was covered in purple secret patterns. He was none other than the ruler of the Thunderlight Sea Starfield, Thunderlight Ancestor.

Two more figures stood behind Thunderlight Ancestor.

One wore a golden robe. He was Karina's father, Rex, the current emperor of the Lightning Sea Empire. The other was a beautiful woman clad in azure battle armor. A highly conspicuous azure mark rested between her brows. She was Qing Lan, the Hurricane World Master, a highly renowned World Master-level expert of the Thunderlight Sea Royal Clan.

Rex was one thing. Though he was Karina's father, he was merely a World Master who had broken through not long ago. But Qing Lan, the Hurricane World Master, possessed exceptionally powerful talent and strength.

She had cultivated for only a little over four million years, yet she had not only earned recognition from the Wind Origin Law, but her strength was also formidable. She was only slightly inferior to Lu Qingshan before his breakthrough!

Most importantly, after Lu Qingshan's third wife had passed away, he had once pursued Qing Lan shortly after she broke through to become a World Master. However, she had directly rejected him at the time!

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear at the entrance to the reception room, Thunderlight Ancestor immediately rose to his feet and approached with the other two behind him.

"Ancestor, Qing Lan, Father-in-law!" Lu Qingshan greeted them with a smile and a nod.

"Ancestor, Lady Qing Lan, Father, Grandfather!" Karina also hurriedly bowed with Lu Wenxuan.

As Rex looked at Lu Qingshan before him, a trace of excitement could not help rising in his heart.

The wisest thing he had ever done in his life was marrying one of his daughters to Lu Qingshan.

After all, Lu Qingshan had now become immortal, and even the Ancestor regarded him with the utmost importance!

With the help of this son-in-law of mine, I'll surely be able to secure more cultivation resources within the clan in the future!

Rex discreetly glanced at Qing Lan, the Hurricane World Master, beside him and could not help thinking, I wonder whether Lady Qing Lan regrets rejecting my son-in-law's pursuit back then!

Although Rex had cultivated for only a little over a million years, he had heard some elders of the royal clan mention the matter between Lu Qingshan and Qing Lan.

But now, he was increasingly glad that Lu Qingshan and Qing Lan had not ended up together. Otherwise, how could his daughter Karina have married Lu Qingshan?

"Little friend Qingshan, there is no need for such formality!"

Thunderlight Ancestor looked at Lu Qingshan and said with a genial smile, "Although I have cultivated longer than you, since you have already become immortal, you and I may address each other as equals from now on!"

In Thunderlight Ancestor's eyes, Lu Qingshan, who had become an immortal god, was far more important than even the descendants he valued so highly.

After all, if those descendants failed to become immortal in the future, they would soon perish once their lifespans came to an end. But Lu Qingshan, whose lifespan was eternal, could endure endless years just like him.

Thinking of this, Thunderlight Ancestor could not help sighing. "Little friend Qingshan, I had heard that you went to the Initial Universe for enlightenment, but I never expected you to become immortal so quickly. You truly are extraordinarily gifted!"

In truth, when Thunderlight Ancestor had learned that Lu Qingshan was going to the Initial Universe for enlightenment, he had merely casually remarked on Lu Qingshan's astonishing boldness.

Yet he had never expected that, after only a little over a thousand years, Lu Qingshan would truly become immortal!

Lu Qingshan invited Thunderlight Ancestor to take a seat, then waved his hand and brought out fine wine and delicacies. "Brother Thunderlight, you flatter me. I was merely a bit luckier than most!"

"Luck is also part of one's strength!"

Thunderlight Ancestor said with a smile, "To my shame, over the long years, I have sent two outstanding descendants of my clan into the Initial Universe one after another. Yet neither of them managed to become immortal gods!"

"This..." Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

He had not expected Thunderlight Ancestor's luck to be so poor!

After all, when peak World Master experts went to cultivate in the Initial Universe, nearly half of them would generally break through to become immortal gods.

The outstanding descendants for whom Thunderlight Ancestor had paid such an enormous price to send into the Initial Universe certainly could not have been much weaker than Lu Qingshan had been before. Yet they had both failed!

As for Thunderlight Ancestor possessing enough astounding wealth to send two outstanding descendants into the Initial Universe in succession, Lu Qingshan was not surprised in the slightest.

After all, Thunderlight Ancestor controlled an entire starfield. The number of life planets alone was vast beyond measure, providing him with a continuous stream of income.

An ordinary life planet, for example, generally sold for around one billion Yanfeng currency.

Under normal circumstances, a single life planet could bring its lord an annual income of several hundred thousand Yanfeng currency.

In other words, given enough time, even the normal output of life planets alone could accumulate into an astonishing fortune.

Even Lu Qingshan's own family had accumulated immense wealth over several hundred million years. There was even less need to mention Thunderlight Ancestor, who had controlled the Thunderlight Sea Starfield for countless years!

For information on planetary income, refer to the original Devouring the Starry Sky, where Gao Sheng wanted to buy Luo Feng's Black Dragon Spaceship. Under normal circumstances, the wealth accumulated by an ordinary life planet over several thousand years was enough to purchase another ordinary life planet—provided someone was willing to sell one!
