" Zhen Yan has broken through to the Universe Venerable?"
Outside the Virtual Universe Headquarters Continent Cosmic Passage, Lu Qingshan learned of the news immediately, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Prior to this, the True Yan King of Space Origin Law, and was only a hair's breadth away from merging them.
Now, relying on the Beast God Inheritance, Lu Qingshan seized the opportunity, broke through the shackles, successfully comprehended the Space Origin Law, and became Space Venerable. Naturally, he also received a return.
Countless pieces of information about the Space Origin Law emerged. After absorbing these experiences, Lu Qingshan made significant progress in both the Space Lockdown and Space Strangulation branches.
The rewards for breaking through major realms are usually quite substantial, but Zhen Yan was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through before becoming an apprentice, so he had very little foundation to rely on for rewards, making the experience rewards seem less impressive.
However, the breakthrough of the True Yan King has another benefit for Lu Qingshan.
Previously, he was worried about not having enough Supreme Treasure —now that True Yan King has become Universe Venerable, the standard for returning treasures has inevitably been raised, and he has been bestowed with treasures of the Top-Tier Heavy Treasure. If he still cannot return Supreme Treasure after receiving top-tier treasures, then that would be somewhat unreasonable.
"Now that Zhen Yan has become Universe Venerable, I, as his teacher, should prepare a congratulatory gift for him!"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and stepped into the Cosmic Passage.
Not long after.
He returned to Chaos City, to the side hall of the city lord's mansion.
" The Wind Thunder Armor, a top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor, is available for purchase at 300 True Treasure Points. Would Lu Qingshan be willing to contribute it to the Race Treasury?"
A gentle voice rang out.
"Contribute!"
This time, Lu Qingshan did not refuse.
The last time I refused was because the price difference of 300 True Treasure Points was too large. If I could find a suitable buyer, I should be able to get a premium of about 10%. But now—with the disciple of the Universe Venerable True Yan King able to bestow it, there's no need to haggle over such a small amount of profit.
Lu Qingshan had already cleared out all his True Treasure Points after paying off his teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord. There was no need to rush to cash in the loot obtained from the King Xue You. Therefore, the Wind Thunder Armor that the Silver Eyes had returned was the most suitable choice.
Rumble.
The enormous stone disc slowly split into two halves, and the Wind Thunder Armor that Lu Qingshan had just taken out was swallowed into the bottomless abyss. Afterwards, Lu Qingshan received a message that three hundred True Treasure Points had been credited to his account.
Trading with the Race Treasury works like this: although you might get a cut of the price, it's safe, reliable, convenient, and fast.
"View the top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor category!"
Following Lu Qingshan's command, the information on the light screen changed, and illustrations of top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor appeared one by one.
These illustrations clearly display all the information about the Heavy Treasure Armor. Whether it's suitable or not is immediately apparent.
Lu Qingshan searched according to attributes and finally chose a top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor with the earth attribute.
Pan Shi Heavy Armor!
The armor looks like it was made with high-quality materials; just looking at the description in the encyclopedia gives off a sense of weight and power.
This armor is a perfect match for the True Yan King, and the price is barely acceptable.
Pan Shi Heavy Armor, priced at 288 True Treasure Points.
According to the evaluation given by the virtual system, this armor is of slightly lower quality than the Wind Thunder Armor that Lu Qingshan just contributed. After all, selling it earlier would have resulted in a discount, while buying it now would have resulted in a premium. The price difference is quite significant. Even so, this armor is still 12 fewer True Treasure Points than the Wind Thunder Armor that Lu Qingshan contributed.
"Buy!"
After confirmation, 288 of the 300 True Treasure Points that Lu Qingshan had just received were instantly deducted. The huge stone disc opened again, and a dark brown suit of armor with Law Secret Patterns runes flew out from the cracks in the stone disc.
Lu Qingshan raised his hand and caught it, firmly grasping the Pan Shi Heavy Armor in his hand.
"This armor is really heavy."
Even a Universe Venerable with a hundredfold increase in genetic power felt a significant weight in his hand. If it were an Immortal God, let alone using it, the armor would be crushed to death if it fell directly on him.
Of course, once the armor recognizes its master, it can freely change its size and form, so there's no need to worry about not being able to use the True Yan King after obtaining it.
Although it can't compare to the Wind Thunder Armor obtained through cashback, this armor is already considered quite good among top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor. The key is that it matches the attributes of the True Yan King and can be cashed out again.
After taking the Pan Shi Heavy Armor, Lu Qingshan turned and left the side hall, then went straight back to Qingshan Residence.
The Ancestral God Secret Realm, the Bauhinia Island Mountains, the True Yan King's Mansion.
Not long after the Sea of Laws descended, the gates of the mansion were opened, and True Yan King walked out of his house with an excited expression.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have prepared fine wine and food at home. Would you like to enjoy them together?"
True Yan King looked at the inheritors of the Hongmeng Alliance and the inheritors of other races beside him.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Venerable Zhen Yan! Our Hongmeng Alliance has gained another Universe Venerable today."
Thousand Rain King bowed and was the first to enter.
"Since it was Venerable Zhen Yan who invited us, we will naturally support him!" King Lishuo also said.
King Chaman forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, Venerable Zhen Yan. You've been in seclusion since you came to the Ancestral God Religion. We should have a good get-together in Yinri."
--
No problem---- King Chaman ----
True Yan King laughed heartily.
Most of the inheritors of the Hongmeng Alliance entered the mansion. As for the inheritors of other races, some of the inheritors from races that were friendly or neutral with the Hongmeng Alliance also went in. Most of the inheritors left one after another after the appearance of Venerable Zhen Yan.
" Longjing Venerable —now that you're here, why not show yourself? Do you not find the food I prepared appealing?"
After the others entered the mansion, Venerable Zhen Yan looked up at a cloud in the sky and transmitted his voice.
"Haha----I am the Universe Venerable, so I must appear last to demonstrate my status, Zhen Yan ----"
It was just a joke last time, there's no need to hold a grudge.

The Longjing Venerable's hearty laughter rang out, and then he appeared in a flash.
"Of course, Longjing Venerable, what you said is true. You are my teacher's senior brother, so naturally you are my senior master, the undisputed senior master! Let's have a few more drinks later. I've just broken through and don't yet understand the combat power of Universe Venerable. After the banquet, could I ask my senior master for some guidance?"
Venerable Zhen Yan looked very sincere.
The Longjing Venerable's lips twitched.
"That old monkey is wicked. He wants revenge all he wants, and he talks about it so grandly. But—a newly-broken Universe Venerable, trying to fight me? I'll show you what it means to be a senior master forever."
The Longjing Venerable was quite confident in his strength. He was no longer the same as before, now clad in a set of True Treasure and possessing Soul Defense True Treasure —thanks to loans from his clan, his Gene Multiplier had now reached 20.
times.
Although Venerable Zhen Yan was superior to him when he was conferred the title of King Rank, he has only just broken through to the next level. The benefits given to him by his clan have not yet been transformed into strength. He still has the same broken copper and scrap iron he had when he was conferred the King Rank. It is too impatient for him to want to compete with him in this state.
" Venerable Zhen Yan, since you wish to compete, I will naturally not refuse—however, you have only just broken through, so perhaps you should cultivate for a few more days, otherwise even if you win, it will be an unfair victory," Longjing Venerable said with a troubled expression.
"It's alright, it's alright—it's just a normal competition, it can be done in the Virtual Universe!"
Venerable Zhen Yan remained steadfast in his belief.
"Sigh, since you insist on this, then I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany you." The Longjing Venerable appeared troubled, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
The two entered the mansion, and almost everyone had arrived.
This was just a small, impromptu banquet.
Venerable Zhen Yan did not send invitations to anyone else, but even so, he still managed to consume all the fine wine and food he had prepared.
When the banquet ended, everyone else left, but Longjing Venerable remained.
" Longjing Venerable —has your friend not emerged from seclusion yet?"
Venerable Zhen Yan had not forgotten what Longjing Venerable had said when he came to the Ancestral God Religion before.
He initially thought that Longjing Venerable was just bragging, but after communicating with other inheritors of the Hongmeng Alliance, he learned that the inheritor named Xue You was indeed a genius no less than his teacher. The key was that his relationship with Longjing Venerable was genuinely very good, and it wasn't just boasting.
After Venerable Zhen Yan arrived at the Ancestral God Religion, he immediately received the inheritance and then focused his mind on breaking through to the Universe Venerable. Now that he has broken through, he is completely relaxed and naturally wants to get to know that legendary figure.
"No, his residence has been closed. I sent him emails but he hasn't replied. He's probably still in seclusion, cultivating."
The Longjing Venerable shook his head, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"It's also possible that he's wanted by Universe Venerable of the Demon Race and doesn't dare to show his face—that's why he shut down his email. After all, he's not Human Race, so it's reasonable for him to be somewhat wary of our Human Race Virtual Universe."
"It seems we can only contact him after he emerges from seclusion or returns to the Ancestral God Secret Realm."
Venerable Zhen Yan was not disappointed.
Now that he has accomplished the most important thing about coming to the Ancestral God Religion, making friends is just a side effect.
" Venerable Zhen Yan, you have now broken through to the Universe Venerable. What are your plans for the future?"
"I asked the Longjing Venerable."
Do you have any suggestions?
Venerable Zhen Yan inquired.
The Longjing Venerable smiled and said, "I wouldn't call it advice, but I can still share my experience with you. You've just broken through and don't have the chance to receive any inheritance in the short term. Why not return to the Initial Universe and get that loan of 100 True Treasure Points? It will significantly boost your strength in the short term, and you can also return home in glory. I remember your Ape-man Race only has one Universe Venerable, right? Now that you're here too—hahaha, that Ape-man Race leader will definitely be very happy!"
"Returning home in glory?"
Venerable Zhen Yan nodded slightly.
He said.
"This breakthrough was entirely thanks to the Beast God Inheritance Token bestowed upon me by my teacher. I also plan to return to the Initial Universe to thank my teacher and, by the way, obtain the loans you mentioned, Longjing Venerable. I might also come to the Ancestral God Religion Sect for further cultivation."
"Indeed—the cultivation conditions of the Ancestral God Religion are in no way inferior to those of the Initial Universe. The probability of obtaining opportunities here is much higher, making it a more suitable place for secluded cultivation."
"The matter of the contest—" Venerable Zhen Yan asked with a smile.
"I'm always ready!"
"Alright, let's go to the Virtual Universe now. I remember the Universe Venerable has his own exclusive dimension, right?"
Haha, you know quite a lot.
About three days have passed.
Their consciousness returned.
This time, they looked at each other with expressions of surprise.
" Longjing Venerable —everyone said you obtained a Heavy Treasure Armor in the Treasure Land, but I never expected you got a complete set of True Treasure!"
"Keep it down, keep it down—" Longjing Venerable took a deep breath and said, "You kid, you're the one who's truly impressed me. Those boots must be Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, right? Not only that, you even have an earth-attribute Domain True Treasure! You've been hiding it well—"
"I only discovered the Second Layer secret runes on those boots by chance after I broke through to the Universe Venerable. As for the Domain True Treasure, it was a gift from my teacher," Venerable Zhen Yan stated.
"My junior brother?" Longjing Venerable confirmed.
Venerable Zhen Yan nodded.
Longjing Venerable took a breath. " Zhen Yan, you've really hit the jackpot by becoming my junior brother's disciple. My junior brother is so generous to his disciples; even I, his senior brother, am quite envious. How about we call today's battle a draw?"
"No problem."
Venerable Zhen Yan did not take it too seriously. Although he gained some advantage in the battle by suppressing Domain True Treasure Longjing Venerable's defenses, so a draw was to be expected.
Longjing Venerable patted Venerable Zhen Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You must have felt better after hitting me so many times this time. Next time, don't call me 'Uncle-Master' in such a sarcastic way. Let's stick to the way we addressed each other when we were conferred the King Rank."
" Longjing?"
" Zhen Yan?"
"Ha ha----"
Both of them couldn't help but laugh.
