"Long time no see, Brother Bafen!"
Upon arriving at the Tongtian Bridge Plane again, Lu Qingshan immediately spotted Bafen, dressed in Star Robe.
Bafen was delighted to see Lu Qingshan: "Brother Qingshan, I just heard you returned to Chaos City. I was about to email you to ask if you were free, but I didn't expect you to come."
Lu Qingshan casually took out a bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine and tossed it over.
"Shall we have a few drinks first?"
Bafen took the bottle, his eyes lighting up. "Haha, Purple Fire Ape Wine, Brother Qingshan, you're really rich!"
"It's alright, after all, it's just in Virtual Universe, so it's nothing serious."
Bafen a wave of his hand, a table and chairs appeared in front of the two men. He picked up a bottle, opened the cap, poured a glass for Lu Qingshan first, and then poured one for himself.
"Brother Qingshan, let's have a drink first."
"Come!"
The two drank together.
Savoring the taste of the Purple Fire Ape Wine, Bafen squinted his eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment. "Having lived for countless years, this is what true enjoyment is."
"While this Purple Fire Ape Wine is precious in reality, it's nothing in the Virtual Universe, right? Brother Bafen, as King Rank, surely he can afford it."
As Lu Qingshan savored the taste of the wine, he spoke.
Bafen shook his head. "Don't compare me to the other grandmasters in Chaos City. Whether it's strength or wealth, I'm far inferior to those who have truly King Rank."
"A true King Rank?" Lu Qingshan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Bafen chuckled and said, "Brother Qingshan, you don't think I'm a Human Race, do you?"
"Isn't that right?" Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised. Although Bafen's appearance was a bit unique, there were all sorts of strange appearances among Human Race, so Lu Qingshan really didn't doubt anything.
Bafen smiled and said frankly, "Actually, I am a top-tier Intelligent Life of the Human Race. I have accompanied my master for countless years. After my master gave up his adventures, he exchanged an Evolution Heart for me from the Machine Race, which allowed me to become a true life form and begin cultivating. However, my talent is very average, and it took countless amounts of wealth to barely reach the level of King Rank. For countless years, I have been in the Tongtian Bridge Plane, basically working to pay off my debts!"
"Ah." Lu Qingshan was somewhat taken aback.
He wasn't surprised that Bafen had once been an Intelligent Life, but rather that he might have some kind of special buff, and why all his friends were poor.
Leaving aside the Ganwu Country Lord, there's also Senior Brother Dragon Whale King, and this Bafen...
"Brother, to be honest, it's a bit of a surprise, but you already possess the Evolution Heart, which means you're a normal life form now, so there's no need to dwell on the past. Besides, I can tell you quite like this job."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"It's all life, it's all life." Bafen raised his glass again. "Again!"
"Good!"
The two drank and chatted, and Lu Qingshan even took out some food he had ordered from the Hundred Flavors Pavilion. While eating and talking, they learned a lot of information from Bafen that they didn't know before.
Compared to Bafen, Babata was just a greenhorn; this was the real veteran.
He was well aware of many things beyond Human Territory. When Lu Qingshan asked about the Flesh Lingzhi, Bafen knew about it and even mentioned several similar treasures, which Lu Qingshan happily recorded.
These things are not available to Human Race or the Hongmeng Alliance, and there is no record of them in the literature. Lu Qingshan didn't even know what names to search for.
Now, from Bafen, we not only know the name, but also the place of origin and source. However, such treasures are extremely rare, and the conditions for obtaining them are very demanding, making it very difficult for Lu Qingshan to acquire them.
In comparison, the Flesh Lingzhi is already a very easy treasure to obtain, even though it involves some risks.
"Brother Qingshan, did you come here this time intending to cross the Heavenly Bridge?"
"I asked curiously, "Bafen asked.
He knew that Lu Qingshan had been attempting to pass a trial once every thousand years, and judging by the time, almost a thousand years had passed.
"Um?"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"Are you confident about the 18th floor?" Bafen's eyes burned with desire.
"Hehe, there shouldn't be any problem."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
Seeing Lu Qingshan's calm reply, Bafen took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Brother Qingshan, you truly deserve to be called a top genius of the Human Race. To have you as a friend is an honor for me!"
"What are you saying? Keep drinking... We won't leave until this bottle is finished."
"Good!"
This drinking lasted for three days and three nights.
During this time, a cold-faced young man arrived and, seeing the two drinking, went straight onto the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.
"This is Venerable Xuesha's disciple, a World Lord Level member of the Primordial Secret Realm. He's quite strong; he's already passed through 15 levels of the Heavenly Bridge. Thousands of years later, he might have a chance to enter the Primal Secret Region. If it were thousands of years ago, this person might have been a formidable enemy for you, Brother Qingshan, but now..." Bafen smiled, knowing that his brother possessed the strength to Heavenly Bridge, so he naturally didn't care.
Of all the members at the master level in the entire Primordial Secret Realm, only two, besides Lu Qingshan, have passed through the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Even if this Luosha crossed the 16th-level Heavenly Bridge, compared to Lu Qingshan, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Bafen raised his hand.
The scene of the battle on the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge appeared before the two of them.
Luosha, wielding a blood-red scimitar, fought the gatekeeper to a standstill. However, when the gatekeeper unleashed his ultimate move, Rakshasa's body shattered and vanished from the Tongtian Bridge Plane.
" Luosha is quite strong, but it's practically impossible for him to cross the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge. Over the years, he's come dozens of times, seemingly treating the guardians of the Heavenly Bridge as a training ground, and he has indeed made some progress."
Bafen's judgment was quite accurate.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
He picked up the wine jug and poured it out, only to find that the two of them had already drunk it all away without him noticing.
Lu Qingshan stood up and said, "Brother Bafen, I should head to the Heavenly Bridge too. I bet quite a few people are paying attention to me."
"Haha," Bafen laughed, "Thousands of people specifically asked me to notify them immediately if you come to the Heavenly Bridge."
"Several thousand!"
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but gasp.
How many Grandmasters are there in the entire Chaos City?
Many powerful figures outside of Chaos City are probably paying attention to him, after all, for Bafen to send him a special email, they must be at least at the King Level.
Passing by the returning Luosha, Lu Qingshan stepped onto the Universe Heavenly Bridge.
"Lord Bafen, may I watch Lu Qingshan's challenge video?"
Luosha approached Bafen and asked with some anticipation.
"This..." Bafen hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, " Lu Qingshan has agreed, you can watch it anytime."
Thank you.
Luosha felt that he had been granted permission, and his consciousness appeared directly above the Heavenly Bridge.
After replying to him, Bafen immediately sent out thousands of emails.
In just a few seconds, countless powerful individuals gathered in the Tongtian Bridge Plane.
" Bafen, grant permissions."
" Bafen, hurry up, don't miss the exciting part!"
"Please wait a moment, sirs."
Bafen quickly granted permissions to everyone, then sat down to the side, picked up the remaining half glass of Purple Fire Ape Wine, and savored it slowly, his gaze also fixed on the sky above the Heavenly Bridge.
The Battle Space of the 18-story Heavenly Bridge has descended to land, Lu Qingshan's body appears on a huge island.
His gaze was fixed ahead.
A phantom figure materialized and solidified.
This is the martial artist that Lu Qingshan has chosen as his opponent.
"You've already reached the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge the mere World Lord Level, Your Highness Lu Qingshan, your progress is indeed rapid."
Haha, even you know my name?
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course! Although I admire His Highness Lu Qingshan's rapid progress, Your Highness should not expect me to hold back. This time, I will use my strongest attack to show Your Highness the difference between Heavenly Bridge 18th and 17th floors of the Heavenly Bridge."
The man in Gray Robe smiled slightly.
I'm really looking forward to it!
As he spoke, the Banyan Wood Divine Blade, conjured from the Virtual Universe, appeared in his hand.
"Kill!"
The man in Gray Robe wasn't lying; he immediately used his ultimate move, a weakened version of Space Strangulation, which completely annihilated the countless spaces surrounding Lu Qingshan.
The 18th level of Law Comprehension signifies becoming King Rank.
The Law Comprehension at the 17th level is the Marquis.
The difference between the two is enormous!
"Disappeared?"
He originally thought that Lu Qingshan would be annihilated by his move, but he didn't expect that the Space Strangulation was just an Phantom Body.
The next moment, Lu Qingshan reappeared, already not far from the Gray Robe man.
"Is this your trump card? If that's all you've got, I'll have to go check out the 19th floor."
In short.
Lu Qingshan's figure disappeared again.
With the masterful technique of Space-Piercing Technique, the Gray Robe man's Space Lockdown was virtually ineffective.
" The Star River First Appears!"
Splash splash splash.
An incredibly refined blade of light appeared.
With a whoosh, it passed directly through the Gray Robe man's body. The Gray Robe man's body turned into specks of Starlight and disappeared.
The 18-story Heavenly Bridge is now open!
It hadn't even been a minute.
"Keep going!"
The next second, Lu Qingshan appeared in a scorching hot space.
The flames burned intensely, and the intense heat was overwhelming.
"How could it be so fast!"
Those watching from the outside world were shocked as they observed Lu Qingshan's breakthrough against the Luosha.
In front of Lu Qingshan, the gatekeeper of the 18-story Heavenly Bridge was almost powerless to fight back.
This is an 18-story Heavenly Bridge!
Then think about myself, I can't even cross a 16-story Heavenly Bridge now, the difference is immeasurable.
"Teacher, you're right to tell me not to fight Lu Qingshan or provoke him. But you're completely wrong to say that he won't be my match in the qualifying rounds thousands of years from now. Let alone the World Lord Qualification Battle thousands of years from now, even a hundred of me wouldn't be a match for him!"
Luosha looked at the figure, exhaled, and the fighting spirit in her eyes slowly disappeared.
The gap is too large; if he continues to treat the other party as an opponent, he will forever live in defeat.
His Law Comprehension Luosha Law was too low to discern anything, but that group of Grandmasters who King Rank all possessed astonishing eyesight.
Seeing Lu Qingshan quickly pass the level.
Jianhuang King exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Lu Qingshan supposed to be focused on the Time Law? How come he's so proficient in the Law of Space? His ability to Space Travel is probably more advanced than that of many powerful figures who have mastered Teleportation."
"Yes, and that strike was incredibly fast; it's probably Top-Tier Secret Technique. Lu Qingshan's progress is too rapid. He easily passed the 18th floor; I'm afraid he won't be able to stop him on the 19th."
Even the King Long Yu, dressed in a green gauze robe, exclaimed in amazement.
She was the strongest King Rank under the Nine Swords Venerable, only a step below the Invincible King like True Yan King, so she could naturally see what Lu Qingshan had just displayed.
"19 floors? No way, how many years has it been? Lu Qingshan can pass through 19 floors?"
" Bloodthirsty King? Don't forget, His Highness Lu Qingshan returned from the Outer Domain Battlefield. How could his strength not have improved?"
"When Lu Qingshan joined the Hongmeng Alliance before, many people questioned it, but now they should have nothing to say."
"Indeed, being able to Heavenly Bridge grants one Law Comprehension of King Rank. From this day forward, Chaos City has gained another grandmaster of Universe School."
"I wonder if His Highness Lu Qingshan will establish his own sect. He seems to enjoy teaching disciples; he might actually give lectures in Chaos City."
"Haha, a World Lord is lecturing in Chaos City! Establishing a sect! And Universe School at that! What a rare thing, truly a rare thing!"
