Leave the trial space.
Lu Qingshan first returned to Qingshan Residence, where he enjoyed a feast of delicious food and wine, before contacting his teacher Ganwu Country Lord.
In the Virtual Universe, halfway up Thunder Mountain, stood a massive manor. As soon as Lu Qingshan arrived at the entrance, the manor gates opened.
Like Thunder Mountain, Yuxiang Mountain belongs to a special zone in the Virtual Universe. The strength of the powerful who live here will not be weakened, and they can even cultivate secret techniques.
The Ganwu Country Lord naturally noticed the arrival of his disciple immediately.
" Qingshan, what brings you to my place, teacher?"
The Ganwu Country Lord wore a long, bright red robe and a slight smile appeared on his face.
He was clearly in a good mood.
"Master, your disciple has come to ask for your help."
Lu Qingshan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his question.
"Hmm? You mean, you're about to create a pinnacle attack technique, but there's not enough time in the trial illusion."
The Ganwu Country Lord pondered for a moment.
"Yes, it should be said that we have succeeded more than halfway. The power of the second move of my Qingshan Saber Technique has been achieved, but the first move is still a bit lacking... It will probably take... about a thousand years to reach its full potential."
Lu Qingshan originally wanted to say five hundred years, but after thinking about it, he realized that a thousand years might be enough time to improve his movement techniques.
"It's quite impressive that World Lord Level can create Peak Secret Technique. I'll leave this matter to you, Qingshan. Go back and wait for news."
"It's a teacher."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
With the words of the Ganwu Country Lord, he was relieved.
As he watched his disciple exit the Virtual Universe, the Ganwu Country Lord pondered.
"My disciple is truly gifted. In less than two eras, he has not only made such a name for himself in Chaos City, but he has also created Peak Secret Technique... I'm afraid he'll be able to pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain very soon."
The Ganwu Country Lord felt a surge of excitement.
None of the disciples of his old friends have been able to pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain.
The reason he has frequently stayed at Thunder Mountain over the years is because his disciple, Lu Qingshan, has helped him regain his dignity.
Now, when chatting with old friends, few people mention his multiple near-death experiences; instead, they mostly envy him for having such a good disciple.
"However, this art of illusion is not something I'm proficient in. Even if I were to maintain it, it would probably be no different from that trial space. Since Qingshan has come to me for help, I can't just do a perfunctory job."
After thinking for a moment, the Ganwu Country Lord flew towards the city lord's mansion on the mountaintop.
" Gui Yi!"
Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, Ganwu found Venerable Guiyi.
" Ganwu Country Lord, would you like to see your teacher?"
Gui Yi asked with a smile.
"No." The Ganwu Country Lord shook his head. " Gui Yi, you are a top master of illusion. I would like to ask you for a favor. One thousand years... two... one True Treasure Points, to help my disciple Lu Qingshan maintain the trial illusion."
" Lu Qingshan?" Upon hearing this name, Venerable Guiyi's face remained calm.
He looked at the Ganwu Country Lord and smiled, "The reward is waived. I also want to see just how far this genius, praised so highly by the teacher, can go. Ganwu, I agree."
"I can't accept this." The Ganwu Country Lord was somewhat embarrassed, after all, he hadn't intended to ask for help for free.
Moreover, this Venerable Guiyi is considered his junior.
" Ganwu Country Lord, don't overthink it. I only helped you because I was curious about Lu Qingshan."
Venerable Guiyi shook his head and said.
Six months later.
After receiving a message from his teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord, Lu Qingshan entered the trial space again.
Because his secret technique level was almost equivalent to that of Peak Secret Technique, he could clearly sense some changes in his opponent.
The opponent before me seems more realistic and more perfect in detail than the opponents in the previous trial space!
"As expected! Universe Venerable of different strengths have different levels of mastery over the trial space. Teacher, you truly are a powerful being even among High Venerable. This trial space is far more sophisticated than the previous ones."
Lu Qingshan easily defeated an opponent, and inwardly marveled at how the Ganwu Country Lord truly lived up to his reputation as Elder Gu and revered Venerable.
" The Star River First Appears!"
" Thousand Stars Overlapping Waves!"
Time passed second by second.
After mastering Time Acceleration, Lu Qingshan's understanding of the Time Law deepened countless times. Coupled with the improvement in his comprehension, the power of his first move, "Star River First Appears," underwent a tremendous change compared to before.
First, by integrating Time Acceleration into the secret technique, the speed is more than ten thousand times faster than before. If it was difficult for even Marquis Immortal to react in time before, now even some King Rank powerhouses cannot dodge it.
Combined with Time Stop... even the Pinnacle King Rank, the Invincible King, will be hit.
While the power of "Star River First Appears " is not as great as "Thousand Stars Overlapping Waves," it is still many times stronger than before, comparable to the power of "Thousand Stars Overlapping Waves" before its enhancement.
Inside the trial space, Lu Qingshan continued to fight relentlessly, his opponents falling one by one.
For opponents who could help improve his secret techniques, Lu Qingshan would deliberately linger a little longer, only finishing them off and moving on to the next level after he could no longer extract anything from them.
921.
922.
1000!
When the 1000th opponent fell, five hundred years had passed.
This is roughly in line with Lu Qingshan's previous predictions.
Five hundred years!
Lu Qingshan looked at the corpse of a Zerg Mother Emperor opposite him and revealed a hint of joy.
Even Zerg Mother Emperor at the World Lord Level, with the combined full power of her Zerg Warrior, could injure Peak King.
But the one he faced was Immortal Level Zerg Mother Emperor, capable of controlling thousands of Immortal God Zerg Warrior and millions of Peak World Lord Zerg Warrior.
However, after nearly a hundred years of fierce fighting, Lu Qingshan finally defeated her.
"This Zerg Mother Emperor is probably only at the initial stage of the Immortal God realm. I wonder which Zerg Mother Emperor from the Outer Domain Battlefield she was modeled after. If she is truly a senior Zerg Mother Emperor, comparable to Invincible King being, it's unlikely I can defeat her using secret techniques."
Lu Qingshan has a clear understanding of his own abilities.
Without breaking through to the realm of Immortal God, even if he comprehends two major branches of the Time Law, it would be almost impossible for him to kill Peak King without relying on True Treasure and poison, let alone a King at the Pinnacle King Rank or Invincible King.
However, if he relied on the Time Overlord Emperor Armor, he would have no fear even if he were Invincible King.
"There are still five hundred years left. I should focus on improving my movement techniques. The Space-Piercing Technique is just a basic top-tier movement technique, which is still a bit weak for me right now."
Lu Qingshan's true body cannot match the Ghost King Avatar in its use of the Time Law. The Ghost King Avatar, with its ability to accelerate Time Acceleration alone, is already comparable to the level of a peak movement technique. Even if Lu Qingshan's true body uses Time Acceleration, it does not have such great power. Therefore, Lu Qingshan must work on his movement technique.
The greatest genius is the one who lives!
Lu Qingshan can restrict his opponent's movements by Time Stop. If he can Time Acceleration and integrate it into his movement techniques, he can easily escape from the clutches of the Invincible King.
Back then, there was no need for the Time Overlord Emperor Armor; facing the Invincible King wouldn't be a big problem.
Although most of the Invincible King possess True Treasure, they certainly wouldn't have Domain True Treasure or flying palace True Treasure!
Lu Qingshan stopped wasting time and began to improve his movement technique Space-Piercing Technique.
Outside the trial space at this moment.
A look of surprise appeared on Venerable Guiyi's face.
" Ganwu Country Lord, you have taken on a fine disciple!"
"Haha." The Ganwu Country Lord laughed a few times, " Gui Yi, I must thank you for your help."
"No need to be polite." Venerable Guiyi continued to maintain the trial illusion, saying, "Your disciple Lu Qingshan, at only the World Lord Level, has already created two Peak Secret Technique. His talent is extraordinary. It seems that he is not only strong in his Law Comprehension, but also has excellent comprehension! If your disciple does not perish in the future, he will surely have a seat at the Giant Axe Meeting."
" Qingshan is steady and composed, unlike other geniuses."
The Ganwu Country Lord was not worried about his disciples.
His disciple was very steady in his actions, much better than him in this respect. After arriving in the Initial Universe, he spent most of his time cultivating in Chaos City, and even completed the World Lord Level life-and-death trial in a flash!
Such a disciplined disciple has a much higher chance of becoming Universe Venerable in the future.
if...
The thought that his disciple was a fellow cultivator Time-Space filled the Ganwu Country Lord with a surge of excitement.
If Lu Qingshan really has the chance to become the 19th great being of the Human Race, then his teacher will have completely turned his life around!
Having a disciple of the Universe Master means that debt is nothing; he won't need to repay it at all, as the clan will forgive it. Moreover, at that time, his status among the countless Venerable of the Human Race will inevitably rise, perhaps not much different from the three Top Overlord.
The Ganwu Country Lord looked at his disciples in the trial illusion with an expectant expression in his eyes.
Time flies, and five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The millennium-long trial has come to an end once again.
Lu Qingshan looked at his vanished opponent, a look of lingering satisfaction on his face.
He felt a slight pang of regret.
In five hundred years, his movement technique has not reached the level of Peak Secret Technique, but he has already defeated 931 opponents, which is an extremely outstanding level among top-level movement techniques.
"Unfortunately, my Law of Space are still too weak, preventing me from gaining a deeper understanding of the ' World Break Void Technique.' Otherwise, peak movement techniques would definitely not be a problem."
Although he felt a slight regret, Lu Qingshan was completely satisfied.
The first and second moves of the " Qingshan Saber Technique " are already at the level of Peak Secret Technique. Many Pinnacle King Rank cannot compare with it in terms of secret techniques.
Although its movement technique is somewhat inferior, it possesses the aids of Time Stop and Time Acceleration, making it not far from Peak Secret Technique, and thus sufficient for use.
After comprehending the concept of Time Acceleration, the Ghost King Avatar has begun researching Time Deceleration.
Over the past thousand years, Lu Qingshan has reaped enormous rewards.
He is now confident that he can cross that 20-story Universe Heavenly Bridge.
As for the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain.
That should be simpler than the 20-story Universe Heavenly Bridge, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Having comprehended the two major branches of the Time Law, possessing peak attack techniques, and aided by the Law of Space at the King Rank- level, if one still cannot pass this stage, then that would be excessive.
"Let's thank the teacher first."
Maintaining the Millennium Trial Space requires a considerable amount of energy, so Lu Qingshan immediately went to his teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord.
" Qingshan, I've seen your performance, it's excellent... In my opinion, the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, is no longer a problem for you. When will you go and try it out?"
The Ganwu Country Lord stood under an ancient tree, a hint of excitement on his face.
Lu Qingshan bowed and said, "I must thank you for your help, teacher. Without it, Qingshan would have achieved what I have today. I can venture into the Primal Heavenly Mountain anytime."
The Ganwu Country Lord laughed heartily, "Haha, it seems you're very confident. However, it was Venerable Guiyi who helped you maintain the illusionary realm during the trial. Remember to thank Venerable Guiyi when you see him in the future."
" The Venerable Guiyi?" Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised, then nodded. "This disciple understands."
Lu Qingshan felt a little touched.
It would be easiest for the teacher to maintain the trial illusion himself, but the Ganwu Country Lord's teacher chose to invite Venerable Guiyi, clearly for a better effect, thus incurring a favor for no reason.
