Before long, Yi Yun arrived at Qingshan Residence.
"Disciple Yi Yun greets Master."
Yi Yun knelt on the ground, his expression one of utmost respect.
This was only the second time he had seen his teacher in reality; the first time was when he had just arrived in the Initial Universe.
" Yi Yun, don't be so reserved when you see your master in the future." Lu Qingshan raised his hand, and a gentle force helped Yi Yun to his feet.
"Yes, teacher, I understand!"
Yi Yun nodded, but his attitude remained respectful.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan didn't say anything more. Each disciple has a different personality, and there's no need to force it. They'll naturally learn about each other's temperaments over time.
" Yi Yun, you've been in the Initial Universe for some time now. How is your Law Comprehension?"
He spoke slowly.
"Master, I previously gained two opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele by crossing the Heavenly Bridge. I was also fortunate enough to receive the Snow Demon Flower from you. The results of both comprehensions were excellent. I estimate that I am now capable of fighting the guardians of the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge. However, I am still unsure whether I can pass through. I will only know after trying."
Yi Yun felt a little uneasy, afraid that his teacher might not be satisfied with his progress.
Of course, he was very satisfied.
This period of time felt like a dream to him.
In just a few decades, he went from a little Karami who couldn't even cross the 15th Heavenly Bridge to someone confident enough to fight the guardian of Heavenly Bridge 17th level. The difference between these two is simply too exaggerated.
He still doesn't know what the Snow Demon Flower is or how much it's worth.
But one can imagine that it must have been something incredibly precious, yet the teacher gave him four of them.
His success today has nothing to do with his own efforts; it's entirely due to the help he received from his teachers.
The reason he held Lu Qingshan in such awe was largely due to this.
The teacher was too mysterious and too powerful, and he helped him so much.
With so much sacrifice, if I don't respect my teacher, not only will I be unable to get past my own conscience, but I will also have no place to belong in the entire Human Race.
The master-disciple relationship in the Devouring World can be described as truly embodying the principle of "a teacher for a day is a father for life."
Here, you can have multiple teachers, but you must never betray a teacher, or you will be ostracized by others.
The higher-ups in the community won't let you into that circle.
It's not just Human Race; it's the same for almost all races. No one dares to challenge or break the master-disciple relationship because the interests involved are too great, and everyone will unanimously protect it.
This relationship restricts not only the disciples but also the teachers. Once a teacher accepts a disciple, they must be responsible for that disciple, spend time guiding the disciple's cultivation, and act as the disciple's support.
Both sides have limitations, and both sides benefit from this system. Only when disciples do not betray their teachers will teachers have the courage to go all out and dedicate all their resources to nurturing them. In such an environment, geniuses can receive the best training, and one strong person after another will emerge from the clan.
"No rush to cross the 17th-floor Heavenly Bridge."
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
"Master, are you worried that after I cross the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge, I will be assigned to a life-or-death trial?"
Yi Yun also shared this concern.
He hasn't been World Lord for long, so he could theoretically delay things for a while. But if he's already crossed the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge, it wouldn't be reasonable for him not to go.
"It's not that I'm worried about that. The life-or-death trial isn't urgent for you, nor is it unavoidable," Lu Qingshan chuckled.
"Avoid?" Yi Yun looked surprised.
Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Life and death trials are a necessary process during the cultivation period. Even I, your master, went to the Outer Domain Battlefield back then. It's impossible to exempt you from life and death trials directly. However... since it's a task during the cultivation period, why not just leave the cultivation period behind?"
Seeing his disciple's surprised look, Lu Qingshan continued, " Yi Yun, I have a plan. I plan to help you pass through the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge as quickly as possible, gain initial-level Law Comprehension of the Initial King, and then you can directly break through to become Immortal God. At that time, there will be no need for any life-or-death trials. Are you willing?"
"Your disciple will obey your instructions."
Yi Yun had no doubt about his teacher's abilities, after all, he had already experienced that feeling of rapid improvement.
" The Snow Demon Flower I bestowed upon you before is an extremely precious treasure, and you must already be very familiar with its effects. I still have three more of these treasures, and I will give them all to you... These days, you should cultivate in the Qingshan Residence in Chaos City. I can help you resolve any doubts you may have. I have only one request: after using the three Snow Demon Flower, your Law Comprehension must be at least equivalent to the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge."
"Teacher, I understand. Thank you for your help."
"Hehe, you've recently studied the Chaos Stele twice, so you must have some questions. Speak them out."
"Yes."
Time flies, and three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Three thousand years in the Initial Universe, ten thousand years have passed in the outside world.
For the past three thousand years, Yi Yun has been cultivating at Qingshan Residence.
These years.
His cultivation plan was entirely devised by his teacher. By following his teacher's plan, his Law Comprehension steadily improved.
He has used all three Snow Demon Flower.
After each use, his teacher would address his many doubts and clarify his path forward. Over the next few hundred years, he consolidated his realm, continued to comprehend, and then used the Snow Demon Flower again, repeating the cycle... Thanks to the favorable cultivation environment of the Initial Universe and his teacher's full guidance, it took three thousand years before he finally gained his teacher's approval.
"Master, my time for comprehension has run out. Could I please extend it for a few more days?"
Yi Yun asked cautiously.
After three thousand years of getting along, Yi Yun had figured out his teacher's temperament. He was no longer as cautious as before, and the awe in his eyes had faded somewhat, but his admiration had increased considerably.
Over the years, he has been completely captivated by his teacher's talent.
To date, he has never found a problem that his teacher couldn't solve. Whenever he raised his doubts, his teacher could provide a perfect answer in the shortest amount of time.
Sometimes, Yi Yun even wondered if his teacher wasn't King-level Immortal God or a Universe Venerable.
It wasn't that he hadn't listened to lectures from other grandmasters who had been granted the King Rank; compared to his teacher's guidance, those King Rank were clearly far inferior.
The key point is that he has already gained Law Comprehension at the Initial King, but his teacher is still unfathomable.
"Is your comprehension time over?" Lu Qingshan picked up a pot of Ice Rain Wine, took a sip, and then said, "Since your comprehension time is over, you should return to the Primordial Secret Realm. It's the safest place to break through. Hehe... Your breakthrough this time will definitely cause a lot of discussion."
"That's because they don't know your abilities, Master. Once I break through, I'll challenge the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge. All the criticism will vanish. You've created a miracle, Master."
Yi Yun said admiringly.
"Hehe... It's not exactly a miracle, but it's not bad either. The main thing is that you have good talent. If it were an idiot, no matter how many resources I provided, it wouldn't make a difference."
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
Yi Yun shook his head. "Geniuses like me are everywhere in the Virtual Universe Company. Without a teacher's guidance and training, I am nothing."
"I'm pleased that you have such thoughts. How far have you progressed in your Wind Origin Law?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
Yi Yun replied, "I have been studying the Time Law for many years, but my progress in the Wind Law has remained at around 90%. I have already exchanged for a treasure to help me comprehend the Wind Law, and I estimate that I will be able to fully comprehend the law and successfully break through in a few hundred years."
"You're a reliable person, so if that's the case, then there's definitely hope."
With a flick of his hand, Lu Qingshan conjured nine round beads that floated in the air in front of Yi Yun.
He said, "This is the Time Origin Orb, a treasure I purchased from King Anju. It helps in comprehending the Time Law Time Law Lower Law. Nine of them can form a set. Keeping it by your side while you cultivate should significantly shorten the time required."
Thank you, teacher.
Looking at the nine round pearls, Yi Yun knew they must be extremely precious treasures.
However, compared to that magical Snow Demon Flower, nothing else matters.
After accepting the gift, Yi Yun knelt on the ground. "This disciple will certainly not let Master down and will break through to the Immortal Realm King Rank realm as soon as possible."
"Go."
"Yes."
Yi Yun bowed again, then slowly left Qingshan Residence, intending to return to the Primordial Secret Realm to break through.
Yi Yun has just left.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the results of the nine Time Compass and smiled slightly.
This is also one of the benefits of training disciples to become King Rank; the restrictions on bestowing titles are reduced, and it is also in line with the requirements to bestow more Time Origin Orb.
After his experimentation, he determined that nine Time Origin Orb were the limit, allowing him to obtain a cashback reward...
These are nine energy-filled Time Compass.
As Nan Hui, Ling Yu, and Ling Xi's strength increases, they can continue to receive gifts and will also receive a return on the Time Compass.
Looking in the direction Yi Yun left, Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing more of his attention on the Ghost King Avatar.
A special dimension in the Glory World.
Lu Qingshan stood in front of an old man.
After becoming the disciple of the Old Ancestral God as the King Xue You, he could travel to this plane at any time for a thousand eras to seek guidance from his teacher.
This is a special treatment for new disciples.
Lu Qingshan naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity.
Integrating the Time Law is difficult, and progress is not fast by relying solely on one's own efforts. Therefore, when the main body was guiding Yi Yun, King Xue You was also constantly seeking advice from the Old Ancestral God.
Now, ten thousand years have passed.
His Law Comprehension of Yi Yun was already comparable to that of King Rank; how could he not have made progress?
" Xue You... Your fusion of the three branches of the Time Law is now only a hair's breadth away. This hair's breadth is very difficult to cross simply through hard work and guidance. Countless geniuses throughout the ages have been stuck at this step and unable to progress. You have exceptional talent, and although you won't be stuck at this step for too long, you still need to work hard, fight, and seek that sliver of opportunity. As long as you seize that sliver of opportunity, you can perfectly fuse the three branches and become Time Venerable... You are Special Lifeform with a hundredfold increase in genetic strength. Once you break through, combined with Supreme Treasure, even ordinary High Venerable will probably not be your match."
"Go, break through according to your own ideas. I believe you won't be stuck on this hurdle. After you break through to the Universe Venerable, come back to see your master. The Ancestral God Religion Sect will reward you then."
Thank you, teacher.
King Xue You bowed respectfully and then disappeared into the Glory Secret Realm.
