Lu Qingshan stood silently outside the door for a moment before the heavy door slowly opened.
Before he even stepped into the courtyard, he saw a tall and imposing figure standing in the center of the courtyard.
Today, the Ganwu Country Lord was wearing a bright red robe. His usually slender figure appeared somewhat plump under the loose robe.
This outfit made him look even more like his second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King. Even Lu Qingshan couldn't help but wonder if the two really had some kind of relationship. Of course, he could only keep this thought to himself.
"I just finished processing a few emails, so I was a little delayed. Qingshan, come in."
"Greetings, teacher."
Lu Qingshan stepped into the courtyard and bowed respectfully.
"In the future, you don't need to be so formal with me. Just relax... be as casual as your senior brother Dragon Whale King."
The Ganwu Country Lord personally helped Lu Qingshan up, his Chaos eyes carefully examining his disciple before him, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Very good... Qingshan, your progress over the years has surprised even your teacher. If I weren't worried about disturbing your comprehension of the laws, I would have summoned you long ago."
The Ganwu Country Lord patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder lightly, his tone full of pride. "These past years, I've had a run of bad luck, and everything has gone wrong. Even your second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King, has suffered because of me. Taking you as my disciple was the wisest decision I ever made. You've really brought me honor!"
The Ganwu Country Lord was lavish in his praise.
In recent years, the Ganwu Country Lord has rarely visited Thunder Mountain. Why?
First, they were concerned about saving face; second, they wanted to avoid paying their debts.
Living here, seeing creditors the moment you step outside is bound to put you in a bad mood. And then there are the colleagues who always like to joke around, always eager to reopen old wounds.
Lu Qingshan's rise to power made the Ganwu Country Lord proud.
When Lu Qingshan was recommended to the Primal Secret Region, he faced a lot of criticism. Many people said that Ganwu was relying on his seniority to show favoritism to his disciple.
But how can we say it now?
His disciple, Lu Qingshan, had only spent three thousand years comprehending in Chaos City and had already passed through 17 levels of the Universe Heavenly Bridge. He had truly surpassed the World Lord of most Primal Secret Region.
Who dares to question him now? When he goes out, everyone says that Ganwu has good judgment and knows how to train disciples!
He emailed those people to see if those who had questioned him back then were now convinced of his point.
"Teacher... I owe my success today entirely to your meticulous guidance."
Lu Qingshan wasn't just being polite; the Ganwu Country Lord had indeed provided him with considerable assistance.
For example, the " Overview of Time " given to him when he became an apprentice enabled him to quickly analyze the Time Origin Law in the early stages.
When he entered Chaos City to cultivate, the 10 billion points he had earned helped him develop the Body of Time and purchase many precious treasures, eliminating his anxiety about points.
Furthermore, the Blood Luo Crystal given to him by his second senior brother enhanced his talent and potential. His seventh senior sister's painting helped Lu Lingxiao enter the realm of laws, relieving him of his worries.
If he hadn't become a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, even with his cheat-like abilities, his cultivation path would never have been so smooth. In his early years, the Ganwu Country Lord was like a mountain, shielding him from all the storms ahead.
" Qingshan," the Ganwu Country Lord shook his head and chuckled, "The resources I gave you are nothing to Universe Venerable. Your achievements today are entirely due to your own talent, so there's no need to be so modest... I heard you also took several Immortal Army Lord as your disciples in Chaos City?"
"Yes, that's true." Lu Qingshan nodded in response. "Those few came to the Initial Universe with me, and we've developed some acquaintance. Thinking that I would need their help in the future, I took them in as disciples and gave them some resources to help them comprehend the laws."
"It's good to have a few Immortal God assisting you. After all, your focus should be on comprehending the laws. Let them handle the trivial matters." The Ganwu Country Lord pondered for a moment, then added, "I also have some original shares in the Virtual Universe Transportation General Company, so I have some say. Assign them to the freight department. That way, they'll have more freedom of movement, and you can call them at any time if you need anything."
Thank you, teacher.
Lu Qingshan felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected that the Ganwu Country Lord would consider even such trivial matters so thoroughly for him. If Jieming and the others joined other departments, they would inevitably be bogged down in official duties. Only in the department under his command could they serve him at any time.
The Ganwu Country Lord was unaware that those individuals were merely tools for Lu Qingshan to comprehend the laws; this arrangement was also for the sake of his disciple.
The Ganwu Country Lord only mentioned these minor matters briefly before refusing to elaborate. Then, his tone shifted, and his expression grew serious. " Qingshan, are you aware of how the Virtual Universe Company cultivates geniuses? Each level of the Virtual Universe Company's talent cultivation requires the completion of trials arranged by the company. Although you were guaranteed entry into the Primal Secret Region and are already at the World Lord Level, this step is indispensable, which is the main reason I summoned you here today."
He continued in a solemn tone, "Trial missions for World Lord Level usually offer two options: going to the Cosmic Secret Realm or to Outer Domain Battlefield. Of course, if one is confident enough, one can choose both. What are your plans?"
"This disciple has little understanding of these two things, and humbly requests guidance from the teacher," Lu Qingshan respectfully inquired.
"You are still young and have not received training from any major power before, so it's natural that you don't know," the Ganwu Country Lord patiently explained. " The Primal Universe is boundless, and besides many Universe Country, it also nurtures countless Cosmic Secret Realm. For example, the Primal Secret Region you are about to visit is a secret realm developed by the Human Race, and except for certain areas, it is mostly safe."
"But the Cosmic Secret Realm where World Lord Level train are completely different. They are Cosmic Secret Realm unexplored by Human Race, fraught with danger... In some core areas of these secret realms, even Universe Venerable can perish. Lian Luo, perished in the Cosmic Secret Realm. And Kedi, the Chaos City Lord, who was hailed as a genius appearing once in tens of millions of eras, also perished in the Cosmic Secret Realm, despite his Alien Race race connection... And your second senior brother too..."
" The Cosmic Secret Realm are not only fraught with danger, but also full of variables, making the risks completely uncontrollable. Even I, as your master, dare not easily set foot in certain terrifying secret realms. In comparison, the Outer Domain Battlefield are much safer."
" Qingshan, there are billions of races in the Primal Universe. Did you know that besides our Human Race, there are several other top races such as the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race? These three races border our Human Race's territory, and conflicts are constant, with the Outer Domain Battlefield being one of the main battlefields!"
"Of course, the Outer Domain Battlefield is not limited to just a few top races. Many subordinate races of the top races, friendly races, and even races or geniuses unrelated to us can choose to join one side and fight there. It can be said that all kinds of races coexist there, and many races that are rarely seen in reality can be encountered there."
"There's a restriction on the Outer Domain Battlefield: those above the Universe Venerable are not allowed to participate. Therefore, the strongest are only Invincible King like your second senior brother Dragon Whale King. Furthermore, the battlefield is divided into multiple war zones, each further subdivided into several combat areas, each with varying levels of danger and a different number of powerful individuals. As long as you act cautiously and avoid dangerous areas teeming with powerful fighters, the risks are usually manageable..."
"Teacher, but I heard that the mortality rate in Outer Domain Battlefield is over 90%?" Lu Qingshan asked at the opportune moment.
The Ganwu Country Lord laughed and said, "The high mortality rate is because it includes the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level. The aftershocks of battles Immortal God are enough to annihilate a large number of Domain Lord and Universe Level beings, so the mortality rate is naturally high. However, as long as Immortal God do not take unnecessary risks and their luck is not too bad, they can usually survive for a long time."
Lu Qingshan understood the Ganwu Country Lord's thoughts and said with a smile, "Is Master suggesting that I choose the Outer Domain Battlefield?"
"Exactly!" The Ganwu Country Lord nodded slightly. "Choosing Outer Domain Battlefield, as long as we avoid dangerous areas teeming with powerful individuals, there's always a chance to fulfill the company's stipulated military merit quota. Moreover..."
He flipped his palm, and an exquisite jade pendant appeared. Although it was a conjured object from the Virtual Universe, the Elder Gu tree patterns on it were clearly visible.
"This is the Communication Talisman of the Ancestor Tree Venerable, a top-tier Human Race warrior who guards the Outer Domain Battlefield. If you face a life-or-death crisis, crush it immediately to save your life. This jade talisman is only equivalent to the strength of a C-class ore; you can crush it easily."
"Teacher..." Lu Qingshan looked at the jade talisman with a slight surprise. He knew how precious this jade talisman was. The Ganwu Country Lord must have spent a lot of favors to obtain this protective talisman.
The Ganwu Country Lord really Kuxin for his disciple, which moved Lu Qingshan.
The Ganwu Country Lord sighed softly, "This is all I can do to help you. As for treasures, the Dark Moon Blade is the only True Treasure I possess. When your second senior brother complained to me, I had no other True Treasure to give him."
Finally, the Ganwu Country Lord reminded him once again, "Remember, when you go to the Outer Domain Battlefield in the future, never act recklessly. Your own safety must be the top priority. If you perish, it will not only be a loss for your master, but also a loss for the Human Race!"
"If I truly find myself with no way to escape, I would rather choose to self-destruct than be controlled by anyone."
The Ganwu Country Lord did not explain the reason, but the solemnity in his eyes said it all.
If Lu Qingshan were to unfortunately perish, he would do everything in his power to revive his disciple.
The prerequisite is that one's lifespan cannot be exhausted or Soul Control.
Of course, he didn't say these words aloud. Even without the threat of death, he worried that Lu Qingshan would go to those dangerous places.
In truth, the Ganwu Country Lord had no intention of subjecting his disciple Lu Qingshan to any life-or-death trials. Lu Qingshan was progressing rapidly and had not yet encountered any bottlenecks; why should he rush into taking risks?
However, the company has its own set of standards for cultivating geniuses, which even High Universe Venerable like him cannot defy. Moreover, when he was vying for a spot, the Chaos City Lord had already made it clear beforehand, which left him with no room to speak.
All he could do was use all his connections to ensure his disciple could return alive.
In the Outer Domain Battlefield, as long as Lu Qingshan avoids dangerous places and doesn't easily reveal his identity, his chances of survival are still quite high.
A year later, Lu Qingshan boarded a spaceship and left Chaos City... Accompanying him was the World Lord had come to the Initial Universe with him to comprehend the mysteries.
Of the three hundred World Lord in those two batches, about sixty or seventy comprehended the laws and became Immortal God. Among them were Lu Qingshan's five disciples, and Luo...
As soon as the spaceship left the Initial Universe, streams of Descent of Law Origin, a sight that would leave anyone in awe.
Inside the cabin, Space-Rending King watched all this with a smile on his face.
"This batch is of good quality; a whopping 65 of them have broken through to the Immortal God realm! And 46 of them have joined our Virtual Universe Company as official members."
"However, six of these guys were assigned to the freight company headquarters... They must be someone important; it must be the work of that Primordial Mystic Realm Lord!"
