A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the cultivation chamber of Qingshan Residence, a glint of Flowing Light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. The First Layer of secret runes on the Purple Lightning Dragon Scale Armor held no secrets for him.
I've finally grasped the First Layer layer of the secret runes and can now use the armor for the first time.
Lu Qingshan took off his Time Overlord Emperor Armor.
This armor, which he received as a reward, was of great help to him when he was at the World Lord Level, but now it has little meaning for him.
The Time Overlord Emperor Armor appears to be very powerful, granting the user additional World Lord Power, but ultimately it's just an ordinary Heavy Treasure Armor. Although in terms of its effects, even the best Ordinary Heavy Treasure armors cannot compare to its value.
Lu Qingshan hadn't appraised it in the treasure vault last time, but it must have been quite valuable.
Unfortunately, the defensive capabilities of Ordinary Heavy Treasure are still too low.
This also meant that it was destined to be phased out.
Lu Qingshan donned the Purple Lightning Dragon Scale Armor.
The armor had already recognized its master; it fit snugly against the body and could automatically change size, perfectly covering Lu Qingshan's divine body.
Secret Rune Activation!
Buzz!!
A violent dragon's might erupted from Qingshan Residence, as if an ancient Desolate Beast had awakened.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan's secluded cultivation chamber had been covered by his divine power beforehand, which blocked this powerful force. Otherwise, if it had spread outwards, it would have probably terrified the group of little ones.
This armor even possesses its own oppressive aura of will.
However, the effect of this pressure is still too weak. Even with the addition of his own divine power, it can probably only frighten beings below the level of Universe Venerable. It can only be used as a weapon to crush weaker opponents.
If this pressure were to be unleashed at full power, even Peak King would likely be too terrified to move.
However, this effect is better than nothing. If you're facing Peak King, you can kill them with a single slap. Why waste your time on this?
Although one of its functions is rather lackluster, the armor is still very powerful. The First Layer layer of runes alone can reduce physical attacks to one-thousandth of their original strength, and Soul Attack to one-tenth of their original strength.
If the World Tree Clone were to wear this armor, even if it stood still and let a group of Universe Venerable surround and attack it until they were exhausted, they probably still wouldn't be able to inflict any effective damage on the World Tree Clone.
This is only the First Layer layer of runes; Second Layer layer is activated, the Supreme Treasure Armor will obviously become even more powerful.
They could probably reduce a material attack to one ten-thousandth of its original strength.
The key is Soul Attack defense!
Only a very few Supreme Treasure Armor possess such abilities... They are generally the best among armors, with extremely high value. For example, the Time Overlord Emperor Armor among the True Treasure is simply the ceiling of its level, an existence that cannot be surpassed! The difficulty of forging it is probably even greater than that of ordinary Supreme Treasure Armor.
The labor cost of crafting this armor is estimated to be more than ten times higher than the material cost, making it a completely unprofitable business. Very few people would do this unless a very powerful person specially commissioned it... However, the cashback from the cheat code has no such concerns.
" With Soul Attack reduced to one-tenth, combined with the Soul Defense True Treasure, the Heart Soul Pearl, and the protection of the Hall of Souls... now, it's likely that very few Soul Attack from Universe Master can affect me."
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
After breaking through to the Universe Venerable, he had already left the novice stage and was no longer afraid of assassination attempts by Alien Race.
Even when facing Universe Master who specializes in attacking the soul, he cannot be controlled. Minor soul influences are within his control. Even if he cannot defeat him, he can self-destruct. The World Tree Clone can easily revive him, only at the cost of some Supreme Treasure.
This loss is nothing to him.
As for the Universe Supreme Master, the highest level of power he could exert in the Primal Universe was only Sixth-Order Universe Master. It was impossible to control him in an instant. As long as there was time for him to self-destruct, there would be no need to worry about the consequences.
This is exactly the situation Lu Qingshan is in now!
As long as he doesn't leave the Primal Universe and roam the Universe Ocean, it's almost impossible for him to die completely... This is also why once a genius reaches the level of Universe Venerable, they are rarely assassinated, because the cost of assassination is far higher than the cost of resurrection, making it not worthwhile... So it's completely unnecessary.
Assassinating Universe Venerable requires the intervention of the Universe Master to be reliable. However, while Universe Venerable can be resurrected upon death, the death of the Universe Master is a permanent demise.
Even if the Universe Master loses one of his Clone, the loss would far exceed the cost of resurrecting a Universe Venerable.
"No rush... take it slow. Once you've fully comprehended the Second Layer layer of the Purple Lightning Dragon Scale Armor's runes, you'll be even safer."
Lu Qingshan slowly stood up.
Every blade of grass and every tree in Qingshan Residence is under his control.
" Zhen Yan and Yi Yun have both arrived!"
In the living room of Qingshan Residence.
" Zhen Yan..."
Yi Yun was quite surprised to learn during their conversation that True Yan King was his teacher's disciple.
Considering that True Yan King was invincible among the King Rank and was countless years older than him, Yi Yun addressed him as Senior Brother to show respect.
True Yan King smiled, feeling a bit more favorably disposed towards Yi Yun. He would still feel a little awkward if he were to call a little guy "senior brother."
This is just right.
" Yi Yun, you were quite famous a while ago. Now everyone knows that you are the youngest person in the Human Race to be King Rank."
"My King Rank is far too undeserved," Yi Yun said with shame. "My current strength is entirely due to my teacher's guidance. If I had cultivated on my own, it would be questionable whether I could even pass the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge. Moreover, I only attempted the Heavenly Bridge Heavenly Bridge after breaking through to Immortal, without considering the changes it underwent after the breakthrough. I almost failed to pass the 18th level and made a fool of myself."
Thinking back to that day, Yi Yun still felt a lingering fear. It would have been embarrassing if he had failed!
His Law Comprehension was certainly enough to pass the 18th level when he was at the World Lord Level. However, he overlooked the fact that after breaking through to the Immortal God, the guardian's body would also change from the World Lord's body to the Immortal Divine Body. He had just broken through and his use of divine power was still far from perfect, almost making a fool of himself. Fortunately, his Law Comprehension beforehand was already somewhat beyond the 18th level, which allowed him to barely pass through.
"Haha, Junior Brother, you've progressed so fast, it's normal that I didn't consider this point. It's good that you passed. You've obtained permanent residency in Chaos City, haven't you?" True Yan King.
"Yes, I received this news after crossing the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge. I can now live in Chaos City permanently." Yi Yun nodded.
True Yan King smiled and said, " Yi Yun, there's a vacant lot next to my residence. If you're building a house, you can go there."
"Really? Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother."
As the two were chatting, a figure suddenly appeared in Teleportation, and Lu Qingshan appeared in the living room.
Upon seeing the visitors, the two rose together and bowed, saying, "Disciples Zhen Yan Yi Yun greet our teacher."
"Yes, please sit down."
Lu Qingshan gestured for them to sit down.
After the two sat back down, Lu Qingshan said, " Zhen Yan, I called you here today so you can prepare. Longjing Venerable has already left the Ancestral God Religion and is currently visiting his teacher in the Ganwu Mystic Region. He should arrive in the Initial Universe in a few days, at which time you can go to the Ancestral God Religion together."
"Thank you, teacher. I've been waiting impatiently for a long time." True Yan King was very excited. Normally, tens of thousands of epochs were just a blink of an eye for him, but now, a year of waiting made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He Inheritance Token eight times a day, fearing that it might suddenly disappear one day.
Hearing the teacher say that now, I'm completely relieved.
Lu Qingshan then looked at Yi Yun and said, " Yi Yun... you're not bad. Although you were a bit slow, you still managed to become King-level Immortal."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, teacher. I encountered a small problem at the final stage of comprehending the law."
Yi Yun said with a look of shame.
"Well, it's alright, these are all minor matters. As long as you can break through, that's all that matters. Now that you've broken through to the King-level Immortal, do you know how you should progress after reaching the King Rank?"
"I just had a long discussion with Senior Brother Zhen Yan. After King Rank, the first priority is to improve my Law Comprehension, strive to master a major branch as soon as possible, and reach the Peak King..."
"Then do you know about the Divine General Inheritance?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
Yi Yun looked completely bewildered.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Lu Qingshan explained, "The opportunity to Divine General Inheritance is extremely precious. Generally speaking, only a very small number of Peak King can obtain it, and it requires paying a very high price."
Yi Yun listened carefully to his teacher's explanation. True Yan King, who was standing to the side, knew about these things but did not interrupt.
Lu Qingshan continued, " The Divine General Inheritance is divided into two effects: Body Amplitude and Soul Amplitude. These correspond to martial artists and Spirit Reader. After Peak King -Sealing expert obtains the inheritance, they can almost all become a Pinnacle King Rank expert. The Pinnacle King Rank is not a regular level; it's just that the strength is much greater than that of an ordinary Peak King expert, which is why it's used to distinguish them."
"Beyond the Pinnacle King Rank lies the Invincible King, which is the realm of the True Yan King- Sealing. Even among the Invincible King, your Senior Brother True Yan King is an extremely powerful being."
Yi Yun turned his head and looked at the True Yan King.
He truly had no idea that there were so many distinctions among the King Rank! No wonder True Yan King was so famous in Chaos City; he was practically invincible among the King Rank.
"Teacher, are you telling my junior brother all this because there's an opportunity to Divine General Inheritance?"
True Yan King asked, somewhat surprised.
According to the information he had, the fastest Inheritance Land the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance, which was controlled by the Human Race, would take nearly two eras to begin. However, the Inheritance Land were not exclusive to the Human Race. For his teacher Myriad Laws Venerable, who had countless riches, it was easy to spend money to buy inheritance slots from other places.
"There is an opportunity, but it's not the Divine General Inheritance."
Lu Qingshan took out the cultivation method of the Body of Time, and with a wave of his hand, it flew to the two disciples.
"This is a lineage called the Body of Time. When cultivated to its highest level, the Body Amplitude can reach a maximum of 100 times."
Both of them were looking at the contents of the inheritance.
Yi Yun didn't feel anything, after all, he couldn't understand it. He had just broken through to the King-level Immortal and knew very little about the King Rank world, let alone this Body Amplitude Secret Technique!
But True Yan King understood.
His golden eyes widened in shock, and his body trembled with excitement.
"Teacher, this... this is Divine General Inheritance that can be cultivated?"
True Yan King received the Divine General Inheritance.
His Divine Body Amplitude reached 28 times, which was the foundation for his becoming Invincible King. However, the inheritance was instilled only once. If one could not accept the inheritance in one go, one would basically be unable to make any further progress.
But this book in front of us, just the first three pages alone, already has an amplitude of 32 times, and the teacher even said that this is the whole set, with an amplitude of 100 times!
"That's right!"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"This inheritance is extremely precious; it is the top-secret inheritance of our lineage, the Zhen Yan... Your most important task now is to break through to the Universe Venerable, so there's no need to study these things. I will give you the complete version later and teach you how to cultivate it. Today, the main focus is on Yi Yun; I want you to cultivate this secret technique!"
"Teacher... I understand." Yi Yun's voice trembled slightly. Judging from True Yan King's behavior, he had a premonition that this matter was not simple.
Although he couldn't understand the contents at all, he had no choice but to agree in front of the teacher.
"This secret technique is extremely difficult to learn; you need a teacher to instruct you personally."
Lu Qingshan did not discourage him.
Then he took out a bottle of Ice Prison Clear Dew and a Time Compass, handed them to Yi Yun, and said, "These are the external conditions required for cultivating the secret technique. Put them away for now, and use them when I teach you later!"
"It's the teacher." Yi Yun then put away the two items that he didn't understand at all.
The True Yan King did not recognize the Time Compass, but he did recognize the Ice Prison Clear Dew.
That's a rare treasure worth 0.1 True Treasure Points, yet it's merely a treasure used to assist in this secret cultivation technique. Even if this technique were to spread, countless people would probably go bankrupt without being able to cultivate it.
" Yi Yun, you can start cultivating at Qingshan Residence from now on. I've sent you an instructional video; study it slowly, and I'll answer any questions you may have later. Go and choose a guest room to stay in."
"Yes, disciple takes his leave."
Yi Yun packed everything away, bowed again, and then turned to leave.
After he left.
True Yan King Zhenyan finally spoke, "Teacher, the Body of Time's cultivation is so demanding, it actually requires the Ice Prison Clear Dew?"
"In the early stages, we don't need treasures like Ice Prison Clear Dew; some ordinary auxiliary materials will suffice. The real core is still the compass," Lu Qingshan said without hiding anything.
"I knew it! If you need Ice Prison Clear Dew to start, that would be ridiculous. It's more expensive than receiving the inheritance of Divine General Inheritance, and it's not worth it at all."
True Yan King breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed his guess was wrong.
" Zhen Yan, you don't need to worry about the Body Amplitude Secret Technique right now. Going to the Ancestral God Religion to receive the inheritance is the most important thing. Besides the Earth-Space Beast God Inheritance Token, I have also prepared another gift for you as your disciple."
As he spoke, Lu Qingshan took out the Sinking Rock Hourglass that he had previously exchanged for 100 True Treasure Points from the Human Race Treasury.
" True Treasure!"
As soon as the treasure was brought out, True Yan King immediately recognized it as a True Treasure.
Lu Qingshan slowly said, "This is an ordinary Domain True Treasure called the Sinking Rock Hourglass... I probably don't need to explain its function, right? With this treasure, even if you're facing an ordinary Universe Venerable now, you can easily escape. Even after you break through, this treasure will still greatly enhance your combat power, ensuring you won't be at a disadvantage when fighting other Universe Venerable!"
"Teacher... this treasure is too precious, Domain True Treasure... it should be of great use to you."
"What I've given you is naturally an even better treasure, so you needn't worry. Take it... Over the next few days, try to decipher the secret runes on it. I will inform you when Longjing Venerable returns."
"It's a teacher."
True Yan King accepted the Sinking Rock Hourglass with both hands, knelt on the ground and bowed solemnly before slowly leaving.
Only now, seeing this, does he realize how vast the difference is between two Universe Venerable Universe Venerable.
Such Top-Tier Heavy Treasure... even his other teacher, the leader of the Ape-man Race, might not be able to produce it, yet his teacher, Myriad Laws Venerable, bestowed it upon him.
After accepting the gift, True Yan King was completely convinced.
They watched as True Yan King left Qingshan Residence.
Lu Qingshan then checked his cashback earnings.
