The headquarters of the distant Universe Mercenary Alliance.
On a vast, snow-covered land, several powerful King Rank were chatting together. A burly man with three eyes and scales approached.
" Ash Annihilation King, your application has been approved. Please pay the fee for resurrecting your disciple as soon as possible."
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Ash Annihilation King, though looking pained, quickly paid the fee.
Only after the fees are paid will the list be submitted, and only then will his disciple De'en be resurrected in the next mass resurrection.
" Ash Annihilation King, you're quite the responsible teacher. You went to such great lengths to revive a mere disciple of a World Lord?"
"Haha, Ash Annihilation King really dotes on his disciple De'en. Could he be his illegitimate son?"
"What a joke! Ash Annihilation King has been Immortal for Endless years, while De'en is still just a World Lord!"
"That's hard to say... what if..."
The powerful figures around them laughed and discussed among themselves.
Although Ash Annihilation King is King Rank, he is only Initial King. Among the many King Rank in the Universe Mercenary Alliance, his strength is only considered to be in the middle to lower ranks. Others do not need to consider his feelings.
"Hehe!"
Ash Annihilation King merely chuckled coldly and didn't say anything more to these people.
Reviving his disciple De'en cost him most of his fortune, but compared to the information De'en brought with him, it was nothing!
The Immortal and World Lord who had previously gone to the Inheritance Land had been warned by him not to spread the word, so no one knew anything about that place.
Ash Annihilation King still harbored hope.
"By resurrecting De'en, we'll know who killed him. Whoever stole my opportunity will have to give it all back!"
In Ash Annihilation King's view, the person who killed his disciple must have gained a great benefit from the Inheritance Land. Even if they gained nothing, the value of a cultivation Amplitude Secret Technique far exceeded what he had given!
That Inheritance Land has nothing to do with the mysterious Ancestral God Religion, and the secret techniques obtained there can most likely be passed on to outsiders.
That kind of secret technique is something that even one's entire fortune might not be enough to buy.
At this moment, in Chaos City.
Lu Qingshan was unaware that others were still pursuing this matter and even planned to resurrect De'en.
If he finds out.
I'll definitely laugh.
When De'en revealed that he was a core disciple of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Ghost King Avatar abandoned the idea of killing him and instead used a powerful move to directly strip him of his lifespan.
Even if the Universe Master of the Universe Mercenary Alliance were to regain his full strength, the God King Sitting Mountain Guest would never be able to bring De'en back to life!
Ash Annihilation King's wishful thinking was going well, but the result was destined to be a double loss.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan is on the phone with his seventh senior sister Blood Rose King.
"Junior Brother Qingshan, you don't need to worry. I asked Spirit Charm King, Ling Yu is alright; she's not dead. Spirit Charm King herself doesn't know anything else; this is all the information the Tian Shi Palace has given her."
"It's good that they're still alive. I'd appreciate it if Seventh Senior Sister could help me find out more."
"Junior Brother Qingshan, please don't be so polite. Come visit your senior sister when you have time."
"Must!"
After hanging up the call, Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about Ling Yu's life or death, but now that he knew she was still alive, a Stone was lifted from his heart.
The message came from the Tian Shi Palace, so it must be true.
The so-called Blood Luo Continent is actually a training base for Human Race, which has always been monitored by the Tian Shi Palace. As a genius from the Primal Secret Region, Ling Yu went to the Blood Luo Continent, so the Tian Shi Palace would definitely pay attention to her.
" Ling Yu is alright, so there's no need to keep an eye on her. She'll definitely contact me after she leaves the Blood Luo Continent. I still have one more chance to comprehend, so I'll use it now. After that, I'll focus on cultivation for a while, and then it'll be time to show my worth."
What was Lu Qingshan's purpose in coming to the Initial Universe?
Taking advantage of the free cultivation environment here is one aspect, but more importantly, I came to this place where geniuses gather to find truly talented disciples.
Third-Class Genius are everywhere here, and Second-Class Genius are very common. A meteorite falling from the sky could kill several geniuses who have gained the recognition of a cheat system!
If there's anywhere Lu Qingshan could encounter First-Class Genius he's never met before, this place undoubtedly has the highest probability!
The main reason for the delay in taking action is that his own strength is insufficient. Even his qualification as a master of the Primordial Secret Realm is highly controversial. How could he possibly convince those geniuses of his abilities?
The master-disciple relationship is a two-way choice and is very reliable. If a disciple betrays his master, he will be ostracized by the entire Human Race. If a master is too indifferent to his disciple, his reputation will also suffer.
Therefore, even geniuses are very careful in choosing teachers. They would only be overjoyed if they received an invitation casually, unless they had no other options.
What's abundant here is teachers. The core geniuses can watch lecture videos from numerous King Rank and Venerable at any time. In Chaos City, there are also many King Rank and Grandmasters who personally give lectures.
Compared to these people, Lu Qingshan's cost-effectiveness is far too low.
Therefore, he must first improve his Law Comprehension and demonstrate outstanding achievements in at least one aspect in order to gain the favor of a genius.
In the Initial Universe's Chaos City, not only is the competition fierce among geniuses, but the competition among teachers is also intense. The birth of a peerless genius will undoubtedly attract countless people vying for him.
Even if a First-Class Genius were to emerge now, the moment they demonstrate their potential, they would be snapped up, and Lu Qingshan, the World Lord, would have no chance at all!
"Greetings, Lord Kandri."
Not long after, Lu Qingshan arrived at the bronze gate of the Universe Chaos Stele once again. He was already quite familiar with the three-eyed old man at the gate.
Kandri gave a kind smile, " Lu Qingshan, this is your last chance. If you want to comprehend it again next time, you'll either have to go to the Heavenly Bridge, or you'll have to trouble your teacher to help you exchange for qualifications a few more times."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. Qingshan should be able to obtain the qualification for comprehension again soon."
Lu Qingshan bowed.
After the bronze gate opened, he went inside...
Kandri glanced back.
He pondered to himself.
"He's been in Chaos City for over a decade, and Lu Qingshan hasn't even been to the Tongtian Bridge Plane. Doesn't he know that many people are concerned about him, the student recommended by the Primal Secret Region?"
"Heh, no wonder this person has such an amazing will. With such a calm and unhurried personality, he won't fall so easily!"
Kandri has seen too many brilliant geniuses, shining brightly on the path to becoming strong, yet most of them have fallen.
On the contrary, geniuses like Lu Qingshan, who possess strong willpower and remain calm and composed, are generally more likely to go further.
Time Stagnation... Space Distortion...
"I've finally grasped the Fourth Diagram. Aside from some minor flaws in the Law of Space, everything else is fine."
Inside the secret chamber, Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged in front of the Universe Chaos Stele.
Five days after comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele, he finally shifted his gaze from the Fourth Diagram, the ' Black Hole,' to the Fifth Diagram.
It was a small galaxy, and in Lu Qingshan's view, these planets all exuded the aura of the Space-Time Origin.
"No wonder they say the Universe Chaos Stele is the most difficult path to traverse. Even with the Fifth Diagram, the focus is still on understanding the Time Law; without grasping the Space Essence, it's still fundamentally incomprehensible!"
"I only glanced at the Fifth Diagram casually, not expecting to understand much, but once I found the path forward, it became much simpler."
"Isn't it just about analyzing the essence of the Origin Law? I've already walked this path once, so what difficulty could there be in walking it again? Besides, my grasp of the Space Origin Law is already quite profound; it won't be as difficult as analyzing the Time Origin Law!"
Not long after.
The voice, like a demonic chant, rang out again.
Lu Qingshan took a deep look at the Fifth Diagram on the Universe Chaos Stele, then turned and left.
Having spent over a decade in the Initial Universe, I've used up all four opportunities for enlightenment. Now, I'll dedicate myself to cultivation for a while before heading to the Heavenly Bridge!
