"Not bad, Lingxiao... truly worthy of being my son."
Looking at Lu Lingxiao, who had persevered throughout, Lu Qingshan nodded, but a faint hint of disappointment remained in the depths of his eyes.
Under his mental perception.
Lu Lingxiao's information did not appear.
In other words, his son Lu Lingxiao still did not meet the criteria of Third-Class Genius recognized by the cheat system.
The standards for Third-Class Genius are really harsh!
Or perhaps the conditions for becoming Immortal are too stringent. After all, so many powerful beings are alone, with only their disciples by their side, which shows that the probability of becoming Immortal is extremely low...
Only when the scope is infinitely elevated to the entire Human Race will we find that there are many Immortal, but that is only possible for one in thousands of star systems.
So what if Lu Lingxiao was born on Earth? So what if he used Domain Lord Level potion? In the end, he still couldn't cross this insurmountable barrier.
However, Lu Qingshan had no intention of giving up so easily. Now that he had started, he was determined to see it through to the end.
"Father, this Bloodline Potion is incredibly powerful! I feel my Law Comprehension has become many times clearer..."
Lu Lingxiao was overjoyed.
Then he asked another question.
"Father, if I have children now, will our Lu Family bloodline remain a first-class bloodline forever?"
Hehehe...
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile, amused by his son's ingenious idea.
A first-class bloodline family, how wonderful of them to think.
He shook his head and said.
"It's not as simple as you think. The conditions for first-class bloodlines to reproduce are very demanding. The population of the Aragami Race and the Manka Star People is very small in each generation... If you want to reproduce a first-class race, at least both parties need to have first-class bloodlines. I think the women of the Aragami Star are quite good. They are tens of meters tall and incredibly strong. I'll introduce one to you sometime when I have the chance."
"Father, let's just forget about it..."
Upon hearing his father's description of the woman from the Aragami Race, Lu Lingxiao quickly shook his head.
His aesthetic sense is not like that at all; the thought of a burly woman several tens of meters tall is terrifying.
Making a small joke, Lu Qingshan said with a smile, "Although you've improved a lot, you're still a little short of what I require. From now on, just pretend you don't know anything about what I'm about to take out, and that you've never seen it before, understand?"
"Father, Lingxiao understands."
Lu Lingxiao's smile faded.
He felt he had improved countless times, but it turned out his father was still somewhat dissatisfied.
Then he saw his father take out a perfect, blood-red, rhomboid crystal, which looked like the most beautiful gemstone in the world.
As the emperor of a country, what precious gems hadn't Lu Lingxiao seen? This was truly the first time he had ever seen anything like it. He was filled with surprise and curiosity.
"You don't need to ask what this is. You'll find out when you have the chance to join the Virtual Universe Company. The method is simple... Cut your arm, place it on top, and see if you can fuse with it... Remember, you must persevere, persevere until you can't anymore!"
" Lingxiao understands." Lu Lingxiao's expression was serious. He carefully took the blood-red gemstone, cut his arm to let the blood flow out, and then placed the blood-red crystal on it.
Upon contact with the wound, the crystal slowly dissipated, transforming into a stream of energy that entered his body through the wound.
"Ah!!"
A powerful surge of consciousness struck, followed by excruciating pain.
If the pain level of the bloodline evolution was 1, then it's now 10...
Lu Lingxiao rolled on the ground in pain, but he kept his father's words firmly in mind.
"Keep going! You must keep going!"
"I can't let my father down!"
Lu Lingxiao's body kept changing, sometimes growing gray hair, sometimes having arms that were thicker than his thighs, and twisting in all sorts of strange ways.
This is not just physical pain, but also a mental strain.
Lu Qingshan had personally experienced this feeling, so he naturally knew what it was like!
Logically speaking, what Lu Qingshan did was a violation of regulations.
But as long as Lu Lingxiao doesn't say anything, and neither do I, no one else will know. Besides, generally no one will pursue such a small matter. If they do, they'll be making an enemy of Lu Qingshan.
After all, Lu Qingshan gave the Blood Luo Crystal to his son, which is understandable. With the Ganwu Country Lord as his backer, the punishment won't be severe. But if he insists on pursuing the matter, then he will offend Lu Qingshan and the Ganwu Country Lord.
The first fusion was successful.
Lu Qingshan was not surprised.
Lu Lingxiao, the son, already possessed an outstanding will and had comprehended the Metal Law, which perfectly matched the Blood Luo Crystal. Therefore, fusing one of them was not a big deal.
"Continue."
Lu Qingshan took out another Blood Luo Crystal.
This time, Lu Lingxiao tried his best, but he still couldn't hold on. The Blood Luo Crystal energy was gradually extracted from his body and transformed back into the shape of a crystal.
"It failed."
Lu Lingxiao knew this was a sign of a failed fusion.
"It's alright, the second failure was expected." Lu Qingshan nodded, retrieved the Blood Luo Crystal, and then took out two drops of Beast God Blood.
Open your arms.
Lu Lingxiao opened his palm, and golden blood fell into his hand, then began to slowly dissolve.
The process of fusing with the Beast God Blood is similar to fusing with the Blood Luo Crystal, but the pain involved is vastly different.
Lu Lingxiao simply gritted his teeth and persevered.
The second drop also blended in, but it was much more difficult than the first.
This is equivalent to having three Blood Luo Crystal integrated into his body, doubling Lu Lingxiao's physical genes and his compatibility with the laws of the universe. That should be enough, right?
Lu Qingshan's powerful mental energy swept over again.
[Name: Lu Lingxiao ]
[Age: Approximately 40,000 cosmic years]
[Level: World Lord Second Stage ]
[Rating: Third-Class Genius (can take on apprentices), base return rate: 100]
really.
Seeing that his son Lu Lingxiao had been recognized by the golden finger, Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
" Lingxiao, get ready. I will take you to the Initial Universe for cultivation, and you will become one of my disciples in the future."
"Yes, Father."
Although Lu Lingxiao was surprised that his father wanted him to be his disciple, he still nodded.
His father had invested so much in him, probably intending to train him as a disciple, so he naturally wouldn't have any other opinions.
Regardless of whether he is a disciple or not, he will still call him father.
"Um."
The master-disciple relationship was quickly established.
Looking at his son, Lu Qingshan smiled. With the talent of Third-Class Genius, he would surely be able to cultivate Lu Lingxiao to the Immortal Realm in the future, which would also eliminate one of his regrets.
After all, Lu Qingshan had only one wife and one son in his life. His wife's lifespan had ended, and now only his son was by his side. He was destined to become a strong person, but he didn't want his son to also run out of lifespan and leave him...
Having resolved his son's situation, Lu Qingshan called his entire family together for a reunion.
"Brother-in-law, tell me what the Outer Domain Battlefield is like?"
Kerry, Lu Qingshan's brother-in-law, sat next to him. He used to enjoy adventure, but settled down after getting married. Hearing that his brother-in-law had returned from the Outer Domain Battlefield, he asked him about it out of curiosity.
Lu Qingshan briefly recounted some of his observations from the Outer Domain Battlefield.
They were all astonished.
"So this is how brutal the battlefield is... Universe Level beings are just cannon fodder. Our Human Race has so many terrifying enemies."
Kerry was amazed.
Lu Qingshan then looked at his father-in-law Kevin and said, "Father, I plan to take Lingxiao to the Initial Universe to cultivate for a while after I come back this time. Would you like to come along? I can exchange a spot for you."
Upon hearing this, Kevin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, " Qingshan, you can take Lingxiao with you. I still have plenty of lifespan left and am not in a hurry. Besides, my speed of comprehending the laws is not slow now, so I'll stay and help you look after Maple Leaf Star."
"Very well, Father. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. Going to the Initial Universe to comprehend it only requires a few points, which is nothing to me."
"Alright, if I encounter a bottleneck in my understanding of the laws in the future, I will definitely tell you, and I won't hold back."
"That's good."
Little Sister Wen added, "It's a pity that Kyle is always out and about, I heard he went on another adventure to the Divine Kingdom, and hasn't come to visit his uncle."
"That kid is just like me, he loves adventure, haha." Kerry was fairly satisfied with his son.
Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "It's alright, I've already seen him, right when we entered the Divine Kingdom. He should be very happy right now."
"No wonder he had such incredible luck, finding a Tier 5 Force Weapon in the Divine Kingdom. Turns out it was given to him by your uncle..."
Kyle had clearly already boasted about it to them.
"Haha, he thinks it's just his luck. Don't let him know. But this time I really did put hundreds of Force Weapon all over the Divine Kingdom. Let them go explore."
"Really? Then I'll go look for it too."
Lu Qingshan did not stay in the Divine Kingdom for long. After finishing a meal, he took his son Lu Lingxiao and teleported to the vicinity of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.
He has already used his points to redeem an Initial Universe enlightenment spot for Lu Lingxiao.
As for the cashback from auctioning the Enlightenment Token, Lu Qingshan thought about it and decided against it. He was just a Third-Class Genius, and at most he would get a Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal in return, which wouldn't be of much use to him.
On the other side.
Beyond the Human Territory, in a very distant place.
The Ghost King Avatar was cultivating the Body of Time in a cave, while Shang Jie and Bei Er were guarding it outside.
The Ghost King Avatar's clone looked at the Time Compass with a hint of excitement.
"It truly is Wonder... It feels exactly like the one from the Inheritance Palace, only the quality is considerably lower, but it's enough for me."
The corrosive power relentlessly eroded the body of the Ghost King Avatar, its intensity far exceeding that of the original Ghost King during his cultivation.
The Ghost King Avatar held a drop of the Spring of Life in its mouth, using it to restore its Spring of Life when it was about to give up.
Repeating endlessly.
In just a few days, the corrosive power within the Time Compass was completely exhausted. The efficiency and speed of this cultivation were far superior to that of the original body.
56 times.
It's a 6-fold improvement compared to before!
"We're far from reaching our limit yet, but I'll have to figure out how to manage the energy on this Time Compass myself."
The Ghost King Avatar shook his head.
Killing Marquis and granting them a title would be difficult for him, but not impossible.
If only I had left him the True Treasure Dark Moon Blade or the Femo Venom.
Lu Qingshan hadn't overlooked this point before.
"So many years have passed, it's time to go back and take a look, otherwise this carefully cultivated facade of mine will be ruined."
The Ghost King Avatar slowly rose to his feet.
Then, he transformed into the appearance of a Rock Race boy, his body gleaming with a golden light, appearing incredibly hard.
