"Congratulations, Your Highness Lu Qingshan, on passing all 15 levels of the Heavenly Bridge in one go! And it's the most difficult Universe Heavenly Bridge! Truly commendable!"
When Lu Qingshan returned to the beautiful island, Bafen immediately came to congratulate him. The little resentment he had felt before had completely vanished after Lu Qingshan successfully crossed the Heavenly Bridge.
Bafen was merely an ordinary King-level Immortal; his appointment as the guardian of the Heavenly Bridge was largely due to his connection with a certain great being of the Human Race, which granted him this prestigious position.
Over the years, he has accumulated countless connections and even befriended many Venerable, all by leveraging his identity as a guardian.
After all, the Heavenly Bridge is the best place to test the strength of geniuses, and many Venerable still need him to help discover geniuses.
That ability to send emails quickly was developed through repeated practice.
"Thank you, Guardian."
Lu Qingshan bowed in thanks.
He discovered that although Bafen had no nose, he did not appear abnormal; on the contrary, he gave off a kind feeling.
"Your Highness Qingshan, please don't be so polite. Just call me Bafen from now on. We'll be dealing with each other frequently in the future, so there's no need to be so formal."
"Alright, Bafen... I'll be going now, see you next time."
"May Qingshan soon cross the 18-story Heavenly Bridge and become a permanent resident of Chaos City."
Thank you!
After chatting with the Guardian Bafen for a few minutes, Lu Qingshan exited the Tongtian Bridge Plane and returned to his small building.
In this challenge, he successfully crossed 15 levels of the Heavenly Bridge, earning 14 opportunities to comprehend the Universe Chaos Stele, which replenished his capacity for such comprehension once again.
Lu Qingshan did not immediately attempt to comprehend the Chaos Stele.
In his last insight, he understood one of the three major branches of the Time Origin Law: Time Stop, followed by Time Stagnation.
He has only grasped the basics and can barely execute it; it's not perfect yet. He still needs to slowly digest the insights from the last time and the gains from this time's breakthrough over the Heavenly Bridge.
He needs to settle down for at least a while before he can try to comprehend the Chaos Stele again. Don't be fooled by the fact that he has 14 chances; these chances are very precious. Trying to obtain them again by breaking through the Heavenly Bridge in the future will be extremely difficult.
"Master, your Universe Galaxy Bank account has just received a transfer of 15 billion Hunyuan Unit."
Nasus's slightly surprised voice rang in my ears.
Nasus is a very calm and composed Intelligent Life who has accompanied Lu Qingshan all the way. His personality is very similar to that of his master.
Even he was surprised, which shows that this sum of money was truly enormous.
15 billion Hunyuan?
Where did it come from?
Lu Qingshan checked his bank balance and, sure enough, the funds had arrived in his account.
The funds were transferred through an unfamiliar account, and crucially, the account holder was someone he didn't know.
"It shouldn't be the teacher... If the teacher were transferring money to me, they would have mentioned it in an email."
15 billion Hunyuan Unit —many King Rank powerhouses don't even have that much wealth. Such a large transfer at once means either an invincible being among King Rank or Universe Venerable.
Unfortunately, there was no message left after the transfer, so Lu Qingshan had no idea who it was from.
"Go see Second Senior Brother and Senior Sister Blood Rose King."
Lu Qingshan hadn't forgotten about his son, and it was a good opportunity to ask them about it.
He had previously searched the company's treasury for treasures similar to Lightning Origin Crystal Stone that could improve physical attributes.
Several were indeed found.
However, like the Blood Luo Crystal, those items are restricted items. Only Core Secret Realm can exchange them with points to a limited extent, and they are absolutely not allowed to be sold or given to others, not even their own sons, unless the other party is also Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company.
Lu Qingshan understands the company's rules; without restrictions, there would be a lot of room for maneuver.
After all, the treasures redeemed with points from the company's treasury are very cheap compared to the outside world. Even if they are resold, they can generate a large profit. If there are no restrictions, the company's treasury will be emptied very quickly.
Now, Lu Qingshan's only hope is either to obtain treasures like the " Lightning Origin Crystal Stone " through cashback, or to acquire the scrolls from the Blood Rose King. Both of these should allow Lu Lingxiao to comprehend the laws, and they do not conflict with each other.
Half an hour later, Lu Qingshan met his second senior brother Dragon Whale King, and his seventh senior sister Blood Rose King, at the Blood Abyss Tower.
The Dragon Whale King enjoys adventure, but after his last setback, he hasn't left Chaos City in recent years. After all, a thousand years is just a moment for King-level Immortal.
Blood Rose King is probably a homebody; she hasn't left Chaos City for countless years, devoting herself to teaching her disciples.
On the seventh floor of the Blood Abyss Tower, Lu Qingshan mentioned the matter of 15 billion Hunyuan Unit.
The Dragon Whale King chuckled, seemingly a little envious, and said, "The person who suddenly transferred so much money to you must be a powerful figure... especially since it happened after you crossed the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge. That makes perfect sense."
He analyzed, "Either some Universe Venerable, or Invincible King, values you and is giving you some investment in advance, hoping to gain your help in the future."
"Or perhaps the Venerable Ones lost a bet, which is why they transferred the money to you. Even for me before, 15 billion was a considerable sum, but for Universe Venerable One, the Hunyuan Unit are basically just a string of numbers. At that level, they pursue other, more precious things."
After a moment's thought, Blood Rose King said, "Your second senior brother's guess is pretty much right. It should be one of these two scenarios. But either way, it's an act of kindness towards you. Although that powerful figure didn't leave his name, if he really needs your help someday and brings it up, it won't be easy for you to refuse."
"Senior brothers and sisters, Qingshan feel relieved now that you've said that."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
"Haha, Qingshan... Don't be surprised. Although the Human Race is a mixed bag, and there are undeniably some scoundrels, many Venerable still hope that the Human Race will become stronger. They often invest in some promising geniuses or take them as disciples. My second senior brother also invested in a few in his early years, but they all perished."
The Dragon Whale King shook his head, a look of defeat on his face.
"Your seventh senior sister is really lucky. She taught a disciple King Rank, and for Endless years to come, she'll have someone to help her. As for me..."
"Second Senior Brother, please don't joke. Xuewei even envies your strength. Neither of us two, who have both been granted the King Rank, are a match for you."
Blood Rose King offered a word of comfort.
"Hehe." The Dragon Whale King shook his head. "My strength is nothing to brag about. Qingshan... Don't be fooled by your second senior brother's youthful appearance. In reality, most of the Human Race's Venerable are not as old as me. Over Endless years, one genius after another has surpassed me. I've become numb to it all. Qingshan might even surpass me in the future. The Law of Space are too difficult. I really don't know when I will be able to fully comprehend them."
Lu Qingshan looked up and took a serious look at his second senior brother.
What happened to Qingshan?
The Dragon Whale King noticed Lu Qingshan's spiritual energy sweeping over him and asked curiously.
"Haha, I see that Second Senior Brother is exceptionally talented; he will surely become a powerful Universe Venerable in the future."
Lu Qingshan laughed heartily and brushed it off.
This is why Lu Qingshan doesn't check the Immortal talents stronger than himself; if he scans them with his spiritual power, the other party will notice... which is considered very impolite by many powerful individuals.
However, Lu Qingshan had just discovered his second senior brother's potential.
[Name: Dragon Whale King ]
[Age: Cannot be calculated]
[Level: Peak King ]
[Rating: Second-Class Genius, base return 1000 times (cannot take on apprentices)]
These data contain many aspects that exceed Lu Qingshan's current understanding of cheat codes. For example, the age is incalculable... Previously, cheat codes were measured in cosmic years, but this second senior brother Dragon Whale King, has probably lived for countless epochs and is no longer measurable in cosmic years.
As for the levels, they are easy to understand. There are only three levels of King Rank: Initial King, High King, and Peak King.
As for those at the Pinnacle King Rank, approaching the Invincible King, Invincible King... these are not the orthodox level classifications. They are only a very small number of King Rank powerhouses who rely on Gene Multiplier, Mental Power Amplitude, Body Amplitude, and True Treasure to further enhance their abilities, far exceeding the average Peak King. However, such cases are extremely rare, so they are not within the scope of the orthodox strength classification.
As for the last one, he cannot accept apprentices.
Lu Qingshan guessed that perhaps the other party's strength and realm were far superior to his own, and therefore did not meet the requirements for accepting a disciple.
Of course, even if it met the criteria, Lu Qingshan could not accept such a strong person as a disciple. In the Primal Universe, it was not uncommon for the teacher to be weaker than the disciple, but that was when the teacher accepted the disciple when the disciple was weak, and the disciple grew up and surpassed the teacher.
It's extremely rare to see a weaker person take a stronger one as their apprentice.
However, although the second senior brother has not been able to fully comprehend the Space Origin Law even Endless years, his evaluation Second-Class Genius still carries a sliver of hope for Venerable, and it is not impossible for him to become one in the future.
