Luo's return to the Ganwu Universe Country followed a route that was basically the same as Lu Qingshan's last time.

First, teleport to the branch closest to the Ganwu Universe Country.

Then he found a remote place he knew from his early years, established his own Divine Kingdom, and then returned to Three Axe Mountain.

This process took nearly half a year.

In the conference room at Three Axe Mountain, Moleiya and Laimengtuo are holding a meeting with the senior management of Three Axe Mountain.

Suddenly, a streak of Flowing Light flashed by.

"Who!!"

The two Immortal instantly became alert, but after recognizing the newcomer, their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

"Luo, is that you? You succeeded?"

"Luo, have you grasped the Law of Light?"

"Yes, I have comprehended the Law of Light and have become Immortal God."

Luo smiled and spoke, unleashing a powerful burst of divine energy. After reconstructing his Immortal Divine Body, he had regained his youthful appearance, still wearing a white robe, and his demeanor remained largely unchanged.

"Greetings, Army Lord! Army Lord breaking through to Immortal and gaining eternal life!"

Among the people in the meeting, a World Lord recognized by the Law of Lightning was overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Army Lord! Congratulations on Army Lord breakthrough to Immortal!"

The others offered their congratulations in unison.

Luo raised his hand, signaling everyone to stand up, before saying, "I have officially joined the Virtual Universe Company, so I won't be staying for long this time. Moleiya, please disperse. I have some things I want to tell you."

" Jiang Tianchen, you can all leave now."

With a wave of her hand, Moleiya dismissed everyone.

When only three people remained in the conference room, Luo asked, "In all these years I've been away, has my ascetic teacher ever visited Three Axe Mountain?"

He perceived three thousand years in the Initial Universe, which is equivalent to ten thousand years in the outside world. A great deal of time has passed.

"I've been here before."

Moleiya said.

"Yes, I came once before and left you a gift."

Laimengtuo also spoke up.

After saying that, Laimengtuo took out a golden treasure chest from his World Ring.

"The box was always like this; I didn't open it, so I don't know what's inside."

Laimengtuo looked expectant.

Although he was eager to open the gift after receiving it, the ascetic had warned them that only Luo could open the treasure chest, so he suppressed his curiosity.

Now that Luo is back, he naturally wants to know what's inside the treasure chest.

Luo looked at the golden treasure chest, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. "My teacher sent me to the Initial Universe for enlightenment, and I haven't even had a chance to repay him, yet he's already giving me this gift."

"Luo, don't overthink it. That senior is already very happy that you've broken through to the Immortal."

"Yes, Luo. That senior predicted that you could break through to Immortal, which is why he left this gift. I guess it should be Immortal Divine Weapon."

"Laimengtuo guessed."

"You'll find out what it is once you open it."

Knowing that his two close friends were very curious, Luo decided not to keep them in suspense any longer. Immortal Divine Power flashed in his hand, and suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise... The box didn't budge an inch.

"I'll give it a try."

Laimengtuo had been eager to try, and he slammed his fist on the box with all his might. The box only shook slightly, without any damage whatsoever.

"What is this thing? It's so sturdy! This box is probably made of F metal!"

Laimengtuo was shocked.

Moleiya tried the same thing, and the result was exactly the same; no matter how much force he used, he couldn't open the box.

"I'll do it."

Seeing his two friends' expressions, Luo couldn't help but smile, then became serious, mobilizing nearly half of his power this time.

With a loud bang.

The golden treasure chest burst open, revealing a gleaming suit of golden armor inside.

After breaking through to the Immortal God, Luo's strength increased rapidly; even if it was only half as much, he would still be much stronger than his two friends!

"What beautiful armor!"

Moleiya looked at the armor in the box with astonishment. She didn't know how powerful the armor was, but its design was absolutely beautiful.

She could already picture Luo wearing that armor in her mind!

Laimengtuo was speechless, muttering, "I thought that senior ascetic trusted our character, but the box he gave us is completely unopenable. It's obvious he doesn't trust us. Lo, your teacher doesn't believe your brother!"

" Laimengtuo, don't try to sow discord. Distrust is the right thing to do. I'm Lo's teacher, and I won't trust you either."

Moleiya said with a smile.

"I think you don't want to be Luo's teacher, but rather..."

"Shut up, Laimengtuo!"

Moleiya's sharp gaze swept over them, and Laimengtuo quickly shut up, at which point everyone's attention returned to the armor.

Moleiya said expectantly, "Lo, try it on."

"Yes, Luo is already a handsome guy; wearing this armor, he'll undoubtedly charm countless people."

"Laimengtuo said with a smile."

Luo picked up the armor and carefully imprinted his Spiritual Imprint on it, successfully recognizing it as his master.

A moment later, golden armor appeared on his body. The originally easy-going and handsome Luo, after putting on the armor, actually had the feeling of a decisive and ruthless general.

"Luo, how are you feeling?"

"Laimengtuo asked eagerly."

The quality of an Immortal item can be clearly determined not only by professional appraisal but also by the user's own perception.

"Excellent, better than ever before."

Luo appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly extremely shocked.

In the Initial Universe, Luo made so many friends, and his perspective naturally underwent a tremendous change.

This armor wasn't just good; it far exceeded his expectations! It was a treasure he couldn't possibly possess at present!

If those at the Peak Marquis, or even the King Rank level, knew that they possessed such an armor, they would probably rush over to fight for it at all costs.

He was secretly relieved that Laimengtuo and the others hadn't shown the box to anyone else, otherwise... they might have been killed to silence them.

This armor is incredibly comprehensive.

Not only is it incredibly sturdy, capable of withstanding physical damage from those below the King-level Immortal, but it also reduces damage from those above the King Rank level by 90%. The armor and helmet can also resist Soul Attack; as long as the Soul Attack does not exceed the limit, it can reduce the damage by 90%. The key point is that when he put on this armor, he could vaguely feel that his strength had increased significantly, by about 20%.

The armor's performance can only be described as exaggerated.

This kind of armor... even if placed in the Virtual Universe's points vault, would probably require an astronomical number of points.

His teacher... actually gave it to him as a greeting gift...

At this moment, Luo felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. Just what realm was his mysterious teacher? Could he be a powerful, King-level Immortal?

Did the teacher leave their contact information when they last visited?

Luo looked at his two friends and asked.

Both Moleiya and Laimengtuo shook their heads.

"He didn't leave. Moleiya even reminded him, but unfortunately, the ascetic senior only said that they would meet again if fate allowed."

"Luo, don't overthink it. Some old monsters who have lived for too long have very strange tempers. Your teacher is probably one of them."

The Primal Secret Region, Wuchen Continent.

Lu Qingshan and Ling Yu were chatting under the huge Wuchen Ancient Tree.

Upon learning that Lu Qingshan had arrived at the Primal Secret Region, his disciple Ling Yu immediately came to pay her a visit.

"Teacher, I remember when Ling Yu asked you for guidance last time, I asked about your Law Comprehension of the laws. You said it was just at the level of Ordinary Immortal. I never imagined that what you meant by Ordinary Immortal was actually close to King Rank!"

"Hehe, my skill level was indeed quite average back then; it was only after I went to the Initial Universe that I improved."

Lu Qingshan smiled; he could hear the sarcasm in his disciple's tone.

"That teacher's progress is too fast. Ten thousand years from now, I'm afraid no one in the Primal Secret Region will be his match."

"It's hard to say. What if one of them gets a great opportunity?"

Lu Qingshan smiled and then asked.

" Ling Yu, have you been urging Ling Xi to cultivate lately?"

Why did the teacher suddenly ask this?

Ling Yu was somewhat surprised.

Previously, the teacher rarely inquired about Ling Xi's cultivation, seemingly giving up on his younger sister. However, she could understand; even she, as the older sister, was almost ready to give up, let alone the teacher.

"I'd like to ask her when she'll break through to the World Lord Level, since all my disciples are now World Lord."

Hearing this, Ling Yu shook his head helplessly. "I'm afraid it's difficult. Over the years, I've neglected to discipline Ling Xi, and she hasn't cultivated properly. She's only at the Domain Lord Level 2. However, Ling Xi's soul power is very strong; it has already reached the World Lord Level."

" World Lord Level soul?" Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised. "It seems that Ling Xi does have some merit."

"The only things we have left are our will and soul; everything else..." Ling Yu sighed, feeling helpless with her younger sister.

"Over the years, Ling Xi has become obsessed with cooking and has created many delicacies. The Crisp Moon Workshop that her teacher bought for her is now a hit throughout the Ganwu Universe Country and has even been successfully listed on the stock market. In addition, she also opened a Hundred Flavors Pavilion restaurant in Ganwu City, which is frequented by some Immortal God."

"Could it be because of you and me?"

Lu Qingshan asked, slightly surprised.

"No... I asked Master Marquis Silvermoon, Ling Xi's dishes at the Hundred Flavors Pavilion are truly delicious. It's not because of our status that she's receiving special treatment. Of course... Master and I are just icing on the cake; otherwise, with Ling Xi's naive personality, both Crisp Moon Workshop and Hundred Flavors Pavilion would probably have been taken away long ago!"

Lu Qingshan was quite surprised. Although the Space Ring that Ling Xi had given him was filled with delicious food, he never expected things to develop this way.

After ten thousand years, Ling Xi, the little cook who used to be by my side, has suddenly become the God of Cookery?

Could it be that she obtained some kind of inheritance she was unaware of? Or perhaps the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement?

Lu Qingshan made a guess in his mind.

Many years ago, after learning that Ling Xi could cultivate the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Refining technique without any danger, he discussed it with Ling Yu and passed on the second volume of the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement technique to her. In other words, Ling Xi is the only disciple among all of Lu Qingshan's disciples who possesses the complete Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement.

Ling Xi hasn't even left Ganwu City in all these years, so the probability of her obtaining the inheritance is too low, unless she's like Ling Yu, who gets approached by an old man and ends up picking up a gourmet God King's golden shovel from a street stall?

Obviously, none of these are likely. It's most likely the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement technique, which is too mysterious... Combining Ling Xi's description of the scenes and experiences in her Reincarnation Illusion Realm, this is the only answer Lu Qingshan can think of.

" Ling Xi... it's best not to disturb her for now..."

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and decided not to take out the Inheritance Crystal Ball of the Illusory Dream Divine Envoy. After all, Ling Xi still had a million years of life left, and he was eager to see which direction this girl would develop in.

If this little good-for-nothing were to become the first True God in the Primal Universe to attain enlightenment through culinary skills, that would be... utterly hilarious...

Anyway, there's still plenty of time, so there's no rush. Even if Ling Xi can't find another path, Lu Qingshan is still confident that she will become Immortal in the future.

If even a good-for-nothing like Wei Wen could become Immortal, then Ling Xi, at least, is a genius who possessed a domain at the Star Level, so naturally she has no problem!

Lu Qingshan chatted with his disciple Ling Yu for a long time until night fell before Ling Yu took his leave.

As for Lu Qingshan's other disciple, Golden Sword, he received the email from Lu Qingshan was still on his way.

The message was. "I'm sorry, it's such a bad coincidence, I didn't expect the company to arrange it this way..." In short, the day before Lu Qingshan came to the Wuchen Continent, he left the Primal Secret Region and seemed to have gone to the Outer Domain Battlefield!

"This guy, does he really think I can't guess what you're thinking? This email is probably all made up by the Intelligent Life, just like the previous apprenticeship email."

Lu Qingshan smiled, naturally not caring. If he liked to avoid him, so be it.

Just then...

A notification sound from a cheat system rang out.

[You bestowed the ' Star Gilded Armor ' upon your disciple Luo, receiving a thousandfold return; you also obtain the ' Time Overlord Emperor Armor '.]
