The Initial Universe, Qingshan Residence.
Lu Qingshan had just finished a call with his disciple, Bulu.
It was pretty much as he had guessed.
Although the Ganwu Universe Country's ban on the slave trade came suddenly, it did not cause much of a stir.
The main reason is that the power controlling all of this is too great.
The royal family of the Ganwu Universe Country and the Ganwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company.
Each of these two forces, individually, is already so powerful that it inspires despair; imagine the combined force of both.
certainly.
There are no major problems in the overall direction, and most things are within a controllable range, although there is still some resistance in some smaller areas.
Even Bulu himself was an assassination attempt.
Some even killed large numbers of slaves in retaliation.
However, their endings were all tragic.
Bulu led the Golden Mist Army, sweeping away many slave owners who dared to resist, and even annihilating several Immortal God families.
More than one hundred million rebels and lawbreakers were killed.
Under the executioner's blade, those slave owners who had dreamed of continuing to make a fortune from slaves were completely awakened.
They either had to hand over their slaves to the official government of the Ganwu Universe Country before the ultimatum was issued, thus changing the direction of their business, or they had to leave the Ganwu Universe Country and continue doing this dirty business elsewhere.
The slaves are guaranteed to be bought back by the Universe Country, so the losses won't be too severe. Those companies that manufacture and sell slave chips, especially those with market share within the Ganwu Universe Country, have basically all gone bankrupt.
Everything is progressing as expected. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, in ten years, it will be virtually impossible to see slave trading in the Ganwu Universe Country.
Even if they exist, they hide in dark corners and rarely appear. Once discovered, they are immediately wiped out.
"Father, Mr. Luo has arrived."
Lu Lingxiao walked over, followed by Luo, who was dressed in a white robe and had a calm expression.
"Greetings, Grandmaster Qingshan."
Luo stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Luo." Lu Qingshan stood up, chuckled, and pointed to the seat opposite him, saying, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Grandmaster Qingshan."
Luo then sat down opposite Lu Qingshan.
Lu Lingxiao had fine wine and dishes prepared and accompanied him.
The three of them drank and chatted.
" Grandmaster Qingshan, I've heard that your disciple recently accomplished something significant in the Ganwu Universe Country."
The headquarters of Three Axe Mountain is located in the Ganwu Universe Country, so he is certainly aware of what Bulu has been doing these days.
"Yes, I told him to do it."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
This is no secret; anyone with eyes can see who's pulling the strings behind the scenes. A Bulu doesn't have that kind of power.
" Grandmaster Qingshan is of noble character and compassionate towards the common people. All the slaves in the entire Ganwu Universe Country will be eternally grateful to you in the future."
Luo said with admiration.
Only a powerful figure like Lu Qingshan, with his strong abilities and profound background, could completely prevent the slave trade within a Universe Country. Although he possessed the strength to be granted the title of Marquis Immortal, he was far from having the courage and energy to do so.
" Grandmaster Qingshan, if we need Three Axe Mountain's assistance in the process of clearing out the slave trade, you can have Bulu contact me directly in the Virtual Universe," Luo said earnestly.
"Yes, I will tell him."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
The two chatted for a long time, until the food and wine on the table were almost finished, before Lu Qingshan finally spoke up, "Luo, you know my son Lingxiao. I plan to send him to the transportation headquarters for some training, and I'll arrange for him to work under you."
"You can rest assured that Lingxiao works under me," Luo assured him.
"Of course I trust you." Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, then took out a glowing sword from his World Ring and said, "I obtained this sword by killing a Marquis Immortal of the Machine Race in the Outer Domain Battlefield. It's useless to keep it, but I think it matches your attributes perfectly, so I'll give it to you."
"This..." Luo looked at the Light Sword, then at Lu Qingshan's smiling face, and stood up to bow in gratitude, saying, "Luo thanks Grandmaster Qingshan."
"You're welcome. You should know I've always been a very generous person."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
He then looked at his son, Lu Lingxiao, and said, " Lingxiao, when working under Luo, you must be careful and cautious, and don't cause trouble for others."
"Father, Lingxiao knows."
Lu Lingxiao nodded seriously.
"Hmm." Lu Qingshan took out another golden fruit and said to Lu Lingxiao, "This is Golden Origin Fruit, the one you asked for before. I've already exchanged it for you."
Thank you, Father.
Lu Lingxiao happily accepted the Golden Origin Fruit.
With the Initial Universe Comprehension Token and the Golden Origin Fruit to aid in cultivation, his teacher should also have a chance to break through to the Immortal God.
" Lingxiao, today you will leave the Initial Universe with Luo."
"It's my father."
After the meal was finished, Luo and Lu Lingxiao's Clone left Qingshan Residence together.
After the two left, Lu Qingshan continued drinking and then checked the cashback he had just received.
[You bestow upon your disciple Luo the Immortal Divine Weapon, the Light Sword, and receive a thousandfold return; you obtain the Silvermoon Flowing Sorrow Sword.]
[You bestowed the Golden Origin Fruit upon your disciple Lu Lingxiao, receiving a thousandfold return; you also received the Black Jade Glazed Fruit.]
Both of these cashback offers were quite profitable.
The Black Jade Glazed Fruit is an old acquaintance.
Lu Qingshan didn't even glance at it.
This thing is worth 300 billion Hunyuan Unit each, and with this one, he now has four left.
The effect of the Black Jade Glazed Fruit is to increase the chance of a Peak World Lord breaking through to Immortal God 20%, and each person can only use one, making it rather useless. Lu Qingshan keeps it to sell for money when he needs it.
The second cashback offer was the Silvermoon Flowing Sorrow Sword, which Lu Qingshan examined carefully.
The long sword, as thin as the long night, emitted a faint white light, like the hazy stars in the sky.
"It's a very True Treasure!"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, not surprised.
The Light Sword bestowed upon Luo, though a spoil of war obtained by killing Marquis Immortal, was an excellent King Rank weapon for a king. The Light Sword Marquis of the Machine Race used this sword to carve out his title.
Although it was just a True Treasure weapon, its value certainly couldn't compare to the armor and boots he had previously received as a cashback, but Lu Qingshan was already quite satisfied.
Moreover, the treasures obtained through the "Golden Finger" cashback are generally of very good quality. This Silvermoon Flowing Sorrow Sword is probably more valuable than ordinary True Treasure weapons, and it would probably take at least ten True Treasure Points to obtain.
"I made a profit!"
Lu Qingshan did not comprehend the secret runes on it. This True Treasure sword can only be used by a strong person who has comprehended the Time Origin Law. Lu Qingshan can use it himself, but it is obviously not as easy to use as a knife.
He planned to stay and see what to do with it later—whether he gave it to his disciples or exchanged it for True Treasure Points in the Human Race Treasury, it didn't matter...
"Master, the True Yan King has sent you a message."
After the harvest was tallied, Nasus's deep voice rang in my ears.
"Oh, this old rascal, can't wait any longer?"
Lu Qingshan smiled.
At the foot of the massive Thunder Mountain on Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, Lu Qingshan opened the gate of his manor and saw the burly True Yan King with golden down on his face waiting at the door.
" True Yan King, please come in and have a seat?"
Lu Qingshan extended an invitation.
" Myriad Laws King, no rush... Remember our promise when we watched the World Lord Qualification Battle last time?"
"I ask the True Yan King asked.
"Haha, I remember..." Lu Qingshan replied with a laugh.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the Battle Space! Let me test your strength, Myriad Laws King."
A glint of fighting spirit flashed in the eyes of the True Yan King.
He had been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City for Endless years, and had not fought in a long time.
Even King Rank of the same level are no match for him, and Universe Venerable is not someone he can easily fool.
Over the years, he has devoted himself to studying the secret methods, but has not yet had anyone test them on him.
"Come on, let's finish this quickly."
Lu Qingshan smiled, and then his body disappeared.
"A swift and decisive battle?" True Yan King pondered Lu Qingshan's words, somewhat puzzled, before his body vanished.
They reappeared in a boundless starry sky, beside which was a massive Black Hole that engulfed everything around them.
True Yan King took out a long, dark-colored staff with a golden band at each end, exuding a simple and Elder Gu aura.
" True Treasure!"
Seeing the weapon that True Yan King took out, Lu Qingshan was not surprised. As a renowned and Invincible King, True Yan King must have True Treasure, and more than one.
" Myriad Laws King, this Yan Jun Staff was the first True Treasure I unexpectedly acquired during my adventures in the universe, and it has accompanied me in countless battles."
He gently stroked the Yan Jun Staff, as if he were caressing an old friend.
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and took out the Banyan Wood Divine Blade.
"This knife of mine is also quite good; it was a gift from an elder of the Banyanwood Race."
"A wooden sword, haha, be careful I don't break it." True Yan King chuckled, his aura rising as he entered battle mode.
"This is Virtual Universe, it's indestructible!"
Lu Qingshan replied.
The battle has begun.
" Heaven-Blasting Staff Strike!"
The True Yan King's voice was like a booming bell, shaking the surrounding space. As soon as he finished speaking, the starry sky beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and the Yan Jun Staff swept across with the power to tear apart the universe.
Before the Yan Jun Staff even reached him, an extremely condensed energy surged forth like a black torrent.
The space in front of Lu Qingshan was collapsing and shattering piece by piece.
"Is this the absolute, Invincible King? His aura is indeed extraordinary."
Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged.
He didn't retreat; his body rushed forward like a shooting star, his hand gripping the Banyan Wood Blade tightly.
Faced with the unparalleled blow from the True Yan King, the Banyan Wood Divine Blade slashed upwards, colliding fiercely with the Yan Jun Staff.
"Clang!!"
A deafening roar shook the starry sky.
The two retreated tens of thousands of kilometers simultaneously, feeling the immense power emanating from their own palms. True Yan King revealed a shocked expression.
"Not bad, haha, that's great! Now that's more like it!"
He roared.
They pounced again.
Countless staff shadows attacked like a storm, each strike carrying enough power to easily kill a Peak King.
Lu Qingshan weaved through the shadows of the staff, dodging each attack with perfect timing.
He was secretly surprised.
"No wonder True Yan King was able to overpower Mirror King and beat him up as soon as he broke through to the Universe Venerable. His secret techniques are already comparable to those of ordinary Universe Venerable."
True Yan King, who was launching a fierce attack, was equally shocked.
"This Myriad Laws King has only just broken through to the Immortal God realm, yet his strength is already so formidable, and his movement techniques are far too troublesome."
At this moment, True Yan King was completely certain that Lu Qingshan truly possessed the strength to Invincible King.
His heart burned even hotter.
" Myriad Laws King, stop dodging! Unleash your strongest attack and let me see your power!"
He roared.
"You said it!"
In a brief moment, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows. Lu Qingshan stepped back and easily escaped the attack range of True Yan King.
His gaze sharpened.
He Banyan Wood Divine Blade in his hand with a sudden burst of speed.
The gray blade of light transformed into a pillar of light that pierced through the starry sky, suddenly slashing towards the direction of the True Yan King.
"What!"
The True Yan King sensed the terrifying energy within this attack and tried to dodge, only to find himself firmly locked on.
Unless Burning Divine Body, there might still be a chance to evade.
However, he did not Burning Divine Body, because Lu Qingshan did not Burning Divine Body either.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the golden hoops at both ends of the Yan Jun Staff in his hand suddenly swelled, instantly extending tens of thousands of kilometers, transforming into a huge black iron staff, which blocked the gray blade light.
clang!!!
The weapons collided, releasing a massive amount of energy that transformed into a black abyss stretching for millions of kilometers.
True Yan King felt a numbness in his hand, as if his old friend Yan Jun Staff was about to abandon him.
"Such powerful strength!"
But that wasn't the end of it.
The previous impact was merely a touch of a blade's edge, but now the pillar of light piercing through the starry sky has suddenly struck down.
"Boom!"
Yan Jun Staff flew out.
The True Yan King's divine body was instantly crushed into powder!
One strike can destroy 100% of a divine body!
