While Lu Qingshan was talking with Parich and the others, the news that he had entered the Earth Domain Third Level quickly spread through the First Grade Elites present.
Inside a residence in the area where the First Grade Elites lived.
From the outside, this residence looked exactly like the other First Grade Elites' residences, but its interior was lavishly decorated.
In the residence's living room, First Grade Elite Wang Chen was planning his cultivation for the coming period.
"In another six months, I'll be two thousand years old!"
Wang Chen thought to himself, I still haven't been able to enter the Third-Stage Domain, so becoming a Special Grade Elite is even more impossible. I might as well break through to Universe Level directly!
Once I break through to Universe Level, with Grandfather's help, I'll definitely be able to cultivate to Universe Level Ninth Stage in a short time. Then I'll be able to hold a very high position in the family!
After all, the Wang Family currently had only one World Lord and four Domain Lord Level experts. If Wang Chen cultivated to Universe Level Ninth Stage, the advantages of his background would definitely allow him to hold a very high position in the family.
Just then, however, his Auxiliary Intelligence suddenly received several emails.
"Emails from Wosh and the others? Today should be the day the First Grade Elite rankings are updated. Has someone else broken through?"
Wang Chen had already been a First Grade Elite of Heavenly Pillar Mountain for over a thousand years, so naturally, he would not check every ranking update himself.
Much of the time, he asked his friends to tell him his ranking.
Situations like this had happened many times before. Whenever a First Grade Elite entered the Domain Second Layer, or even the Third-Stage Domain, he would receive several emails.
At that thought, Wang Chen casually opened one of the emails.
"Brother Wang, just now, Lu Qingshan shot up to sixth place in the overall First Grade Elite rankings. Everyone says he's already entered the Third-Stage Domain!"
Seeing this message, Wang Chen froze slightly.
"Lu Qingshan? The Third-Stage Domain?"
Even after coming back to his senses, Wang Chen was still somewhat dazed. Didn't he only enter the Domain Second Layer a short while ago? He entered the Third-Stage Domain in such a short time?
Over the long years, Wang Chen had already received news of some First Grade Elites entering the Third-Stage Domain. For instance, when Leises entered the Third-Stage Domain several decades ago, he had heard the news, and later even tried to recruit Leises on behalf of the Wang Family.
But when he received such news in the past, he had never been nearly as shocked as he was now.
With a thought, Wang Chen quickly had his Auxiliary Intelligence pull up some detailed information on Lu Qingshan.
"Fifty years!"
"This Lu Qingshan actually took only fifty years to advance from the Domain Second Layer to the Third-Stage Domain?"
The shock on Wang Chen's face grew increasingly pronounced. "That cultivation speed should rival Luoerniman, the fastest cultivator among Grandfather's disciples!"
"No! I have to tell Grandfather about this immediately. Perhaps Grandfather will be willing to take Lu Qingshan as a disciple!"
At that thought, Wang Chen immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe.
Inside a World Lord World that had only recently been discovered in the Golden Lion Starfield.
Domain Lord Lin Tian and his companions had just fought a battle, driving back several other Domain Lord Level experts and seizing over a hundred thousand cubic meters of universe crystals.
"Hmph!"
One of Lin Tian's companions snorted outright. "Those bastards from the Purple Gold Pavilion wanted to compete with us? They really don't know their own limits!"
"Those people are indeed no match for us!"
Another Domain Lord Level expert soon spoke. "But that's also because these universe crystals aren't all that valuable. There are only a little over a hundred thousand cubic meters. If it had been a fifth-tier weapon or suit of armor, those fellows would probably have asked the other experts of the Purple Gold Pavilion for help!"
"So what? Would we of Heavenly Pillar Mountain be afraid of their Purple Gold Pavilion?"
Just then, Domain Lord Lin Tian suddenly received an email.
"Hmm?"
After casually reading through the email, a trace of surprise soon flashed across Domain Lord Lin Tian's face.
Seeing this, the two Domain Lord Level companions beside Lin Tian quickly asked, "Lin Tian, what is it?"
"Good news!"
Domain Lord Lin Tian soon said, "Another First Grade Elite in our Heavenly Pillar Mountain has entered the Third-Stage Domain!"
"The Third-Stage Domain? What's so remarkable about that?"
One of the Domain Lords soon said, "In our Heavenly Pillar Mountain, experts gather like clouds and geniuses fall like rain. Every so often, a few talented youngsters emerge. Entering the Third-Stage Domain at Star Level isn't anything so remarkable!"
The speaker had once been a Special Grade Elite of Heavenly Pillar Mountain, so naturally, he did not think entering the Third-Stage Domain at Star Level was all that impressive!
"This time is different!"
Domain Lord Lin Tian soon exclaimed in admiration, "As far as I know, this youngster only entered the Domain Second Layer fifty years ago, and now he's already entered the Third-Stage Domain. That cultivation speed is truly astonishing!"
Hearing Lin Tian's words, the other two Domain Lord Level experts could not help looking surprised as well.
"He entered the Third-Stage Domain in just fifty years?"
"When did such an outstanding youngster join our Heavenly Pillar Mountain?"
"Speaking of which, I was the one who brought this youngster into our Heavenly Pillar Mountain!"
As Domain Lord Lin Tian sent Lu Qingshan's information to his two friends, he could not help remarking, "There was also a spirit reader who performed very well who joined our Heavenly Pillar Mountain alongside this youngster. I always thought that spirit reader could become a Special Grade Elite in the future, and instead somewhat overlooked this youngster. To think I misjudged him this time!"
"An impressive youngster!"
"Yes! In another few tens of thousands of years, this youngster should be able to become a Domain Lord Level expert too!"
"Unfortunately, his performance this time is too dazzling. He's sure to draw the attention of those World Lords. We certainly won't have a chance to take him as a disciple!"
After looking over Lu Qingshan's data, the other two Domain Lords soon sighed with emotion as well.
Lu Qingshan's breakthrough from the Domain Second Layer to the Third-Stage Domain in just fifty years had indeed stirred up quite a storm within Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Even many World Lord Level experts had been alerted.
After all, this cultivation speed had already surpassed that of most Special Grade Elites in Heavenly Pillar Mountain's history. Even across the entire Golden Lion Empire, it was exceedingly rare!
Although World Lord Level experts had lifespans of ten million years, encountering a genius like Lu Qingshan was still far from easy.
"He broke through from the Domain Second Layer to the Third-Stage Domain after fifty years of cultivation? What a fine youngster!"
"Unfortunately, what this youngster comprehends is the Earth Domain, so what he cultivates in the future will definitely be the Earth Origin Law, whereas what I comprehend is the Lightning Origin Law. Otherwise, I could take him as a disciple and nurture him properly!"
"He entered the Third-Stage Domain at Star Level Second Stage? This youngster seems quite young!"
"He took only fifty years to advance from the Domain Second Layer to the Third-Stage Domain? With such rapid cultivation, his chances of becoming an expert in the future are higher too!"
"Look into his other information further. If there are no major problems, I could take him as a disciple!"
"This youngster's cultivation speed really is fast! Back when I advanced from the Domain Second Layer to the Third-Stage Domain, it took me nearly a hundred years!"
"Such dazzling talent already qualifies him to become my disciple!"
"If I nurture him properly in the future, he'll definitely have a chance to enter World Lord Level. Then I'll have another helper!"
"Hahaha! Now that I've entered World Lord Level, I was just thinking of taking a few disciples. To think a pillow would arrive just as I started feeling sleepy!"
"This youngster broke through from the Domain Second Layer to the Third-Stage Domain after fifty years of cultivation, and it's the Earth Domain too. He's just right to become my disciple!"
"But before that, I should look into his detailed data first. I must make sure I don't take in an ungrateful wolf!"
