A hundred years ago, when True Yan King and Longjing Venerable went to the Ancestral God Religion to receive their inheritance, they kept a very low profile.
Only a small group of the Hongmeng Alliance inheritors who cultivated within the Ancestral God Religion knew this news.
But now that he has become Universe Venerable and has held this banquet, the news can no longer be kept secret.
Venerable Zhen Yan didn't intend to hide it and directly revealed his relationship with Myriad Laws Venerable at the banquet.
Only then did everyone realize that the Beast God Inheritance Token in True Yan King's possession was bestowed by Myriad Laws Venerable.
The two Universe Venerable born one after the other of the Human Race were actually master and disciple!
The news spread quickly.
Some powerful Human Race cultivators who did not cultivate under the Ancestral God Religion received this message one after another.
The sacred site of the Ape-man Race, inside a vast palace.
The Old ape-man with black hair raised a glass of red wine, savoring its taste. Opposite him stood a man with an eerily handsome appearance, dressed in a long black robe.
" Black Ape Venerable, no wonder you've seemed so melancholy the last few times I've invited you for drinks. So it turns out that Myriad Laws Venerable stole your disciple?" the handsome man said with a smile.
The Black Ape Venerable put down his cup and shook his head. "Don't talk nonsense like that. Before Myriad Laws Venerable accepted True Yan King as his disciple, he spoke to me about it."
"Oh? Is that so? True Yan King is your most prized disciple, I can't believe you actually agreed."
The strangely handsome man was somewhat surprised.
The Black Ape Venerable said nonchalantly, "It won't cost either of me True Yan King anything if I let him have another teacher. But the Myriad Laws Venerable actually brought out such a precious treasure Beast God Inheritance Token."
"If you, Demon Shadow Venerable, had produced the Beast God Inheritance Token for my disciple Zhenyan back then, Zhen Yan to become your disciple, I wouldn't have had any objections."
"Heh, I didn't realize you were so magnanimous, old man." The Demon Shadow Venerable shook his head noncommittally.
The Black Ape Venerable smiled and said, "Now it seems that this decision was very wise. Zhen Yan has successfully broken through with the help of the Beast God Inheritance, and our Ape-man Race now has a second Universe Venerable. The pressure on me will be greatly reduced in the future."
"From this perspective, it is indeed a pretty good result." The Demon Shadow Venerable nodded and smiled.
After a hearty meal, the Demon Shadow Venerable rose and left.
The Ape-man Race leader watched the departing figure and pondered for a moment.
"A tall tree catches the wind! Although Myriad Laws Venerable is very low-key and has been teaching in Chaos City without fighting with others, he still can't prevent some people from trying to sow discord. However, they've come to the wrong person."
Who is the happiest person to have True Yan King become Universe Venerable?
Besides True Yan King himself, the next one should be Black Ape Venerable.
To support an entire race for countless ages all by oneself—that immense pressure is something those who haven't experienced it will never understand.
When True Yan King becomes Universe Venerable, their Ape-man Race will have two Universe Venerable, and the pressure on him will instantly be reduced by half.
Compared to the entire clan, what does it matter if a disciple has one more teacher?
The Black Ape Venerable felt a sense of gratitude towards the Myriad Laws Venerable, an emotion that the solitary Demon Shadow Venerable could not comprehend.
In the Initial Universe, in the Chaos City, Qingshan Residence.
Three years later, True Yan King returned to the Initial Universe. Instead of going to the City Lord's Mansion to confirm his identity and collect his loan amount, he first came to Lu Qingshan's Qingshan Residence to thank his teacher for his help.
"Teacher—after I went to the Ancestral God Religion with Longjing Venerable —that's what happened."
Venerable Zhen Yan recounted his experiences in the Ancestral God Secret Realm over the years, especially the scenery and wonders of the Ancestral God Religion. Seeing that his teacher seemed somewhat interested, True Yan King emphasized many details.
Although the teacher is a top genius, he did not follow the Path of the Beast God and is unable to go to the Ancestral God Secret Realm. He probably will not have the chance to experience that scenery in this lifetime.
Lu Qingshan maintained a faint smile throughout, and only spoke after Venerable Zhen Yan had finished speaking.
"Your breakthrough is a testament to your ability to live up to my expectations. From now on, you will be the first Universe Venerable under my command."
"My breakthrough also had an element of luck involved. Compared to your steady and methodical approach, Master, there is still a long way to go. Moreover, even if I were to break through, I would still be far from being your match."
Venerable Zhen Yan has not forgotten the scene of being humiliated when he was King Rank. His teacher created the Ultimate Secret Technique when he was King Rank, and his Gene Multiplier and Body Amplitude far exceeded his. Now that he has become Universe Venerable, he must be even more terrifying.
He was confident that he could compete with Longjing Venerable, but he had no confidence whatsoever when facing his teacher.
The teacher's progress and ability are shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to fathom or judge.
"Comparing yourself to me is meaningless. Compared to others, you are already exceptionally talented. To be able to fight the Longjing Venerable to a draw shows that your strength is quite good among Intermediate Universe Venerable. In the future, if you create a few Ultimate Secret Technique, further enhance your Body Amplitude and Gene Multiplier, and acquire some better weapons, you will soon become High Universe Venerable."
"Teacher, everything you've mentioned is incredibly difficult," Venerable Zhen Yan said with a wry smile.
The differences between people are too great.
The teacher probably thought these were all very simple.
Although the Universe Venerable and the King Rank are from two different worlds, Venerable Zhen Yan also knew that relying solely on the 100 True Treasure Points given by the clan, there was absolutely no hope of achieving what his teacher had said.
Otherwise, why High Venerable still only a minority among the Human Race's Universe Venerable?
Most of the Universe Venerable are still below the level of High Universe Venerable in strength.
As soon as he broke through, Venerable Zhen Yan became a Intermediate Universe Venerable, ranking in the middle among the thousands of Universe Venerable of the Human Race.
Lu Qingshan smiled faintly, "It will definitely be a bit difficult for you, but since you are my disciple, it will be much simpler for you."
"Does the teacher intend to impart the ' Body of Time ' to me?"
Venerable Zhen Yan still coveted the Body Amplitude Secret Technique that his teacher had bestowed upon Yi Yun. This technique could cultivate to a hundredfold amplification, and if mastered, it would be equivalent to fully receiving the inheritance of Divine General Inheritance.
"Hmm, you can take this secret technique and study it yourself first." Lu Qingshan casually gave a copy of the cultivation secret technique for the Body of Time to Venerable Zhen Yan.
This item has already been learned by three disciples, including Venerable Zhen Yan. Considering that only those who have reached the King Rank can receive the Ice Prison Clear Dew, he did not bestow it upon other talented disciples.
Thank you, teacher.
Venerable Zhen Yan received the secret method and immediately began to examine it.
"You're thanking me too soon. Now that you've become Universe Venerable, I will naturally present you with a congratulatory gift. This secret technique was something I promised you before, so it doesn't count—"
As they spoke, a suit of armor appeared out of True Yan King.
"Teacher, what is this armor—"
Venerable Zhen Yan put away his secret technique and looked at the armor in front of him in surprise. He was certain that this was a Heavy Treasure Armor.
When his teacher accepted him as a disciple, he had already bestowed upon him a precious Domain True Treasure. Unexpectedly, he has now brought out another Heavy Treasure Armor.
While Venerable Zhen Yan also felt somewhat apprehensive.
Is this what it feels like to be with a wealthy teacher?
He had studied under the Ape-man Race for countless years, only to receive a True Treasure weapon as a gift. Later, after obtaining the more suitable Yan Jun Staff, he sold that True Treasure weapon and used the money to buy materials to enhance his Gene Multiplier.
That's how the tenfold Gene Multiplier is derived!
Later, envious of the Dragon Whale King's journey to receive the inheritance of the Ancestral God Religion, he actively sought help, but was refused.
Although Venerable Zhen Yan felt a little aggrieved, he did not blame his teacher. He knew how hard his teacher had worked. The entire Ape-man Race relied on his teacher alone. His teacher himself did not have any decent treasures. Moreover, his teacher's early training of him was meticulous. Without his teacher, there would be no Venerable Zhen Yan today.
After Myriad Laws Venerable, he was first bestowed with the Beast God Inheritance Token, which was comparable to Supreme Treasure. Then came the Domain True Treasure, the Sinking Rock Hourglass, as well as the extremely precious Body Amplitude Secret Technique. Now he also has a Heavy Treasure Armor.
Everything that Master Myriad Laws Venerable brought out was of the highest quality.
"Teacher, you have already helped me enough. I have enough True Treasure for now." Venerable Zhen Yan was very grateful.
Lu Qingshan shook his head. " Zhen Yan, you've just become my disciple, you don't know my temperament. I don't allow my disciples to refuse what I offer."
"Ah." Venerable Zhen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his teacher's expression, which seemed serious. He felt a joking start and quickly said, "Disciple thanks teacher for the gift."
"That's more like it." Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and continued, "Try having it bound to you. I chose it from the treasure vault according to your attributes, but I don't know if it's suitable."
"Yes."
Venerable Zhen Yan nodded, then imprinted a wisp of his Life Imprint into it. Soon, the armor successfully recognized him as its master, and he also learned the information.
"This... this is actually a top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor!"
Venerable Zhen Yan's pupils widened in shock.
He initially thought it was just an ordinary Heavy Treasure Armor, but after it became his bond, he realized he was terribly wrong. It was a top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor! And it suited him perfectly.
Even some poor, High Universe Venerable don't have top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor, right? He might not know if others have Venerable Zhen Yan, but he's certain his teacher doesn't.
The value of this armor is probably much higher than the loan amount the tribe gave them.
"Teacher, this gift is so precious."
Venerable Zhen Yan was somewhat apprehensive.
Did I agree too quickly?
This kind of treasure must be extremely valuable even to Universe Venerable like the teacher.
"It's not exactly precious, just passable—" Lu Qingshan shook his head. After the gift, he had also received some more information about cheat codes. He smiled and said, "If you can break through to the High Universe Venerable —even Supreme Treasure, your master can bestow upon you."
" Supreme Treasure— " Venerable Zhen Yan took a deep breath, his appreciation for his teacher's wealth rising to countless levels once again. It should be noted that most High Universe Venerable do not possess such Supreme Treasure.
Supreme Treasure are the exclusive domain of Universe Overlord.
Every Universe Overlord possesses several Supreme Treasure, or at the very least, one or two treasures perfectly suited to their Supreme Treasure.
Has the teacher already possessed the power of Universe Overlord?
The teacher didn't bring it up, and Venerable Zhen Yan didn't dare to ask around. He originally thought that after breaking through to the Universe Venerable, the gap between him and his teacher would narrow, but it seemed that they were getting further and further apart.
"Comprehend the secret runes on this armor as soon as possible; it will greatly enhance your safety. As for the ' Body of Time ' manual, study it on your own first; don't rush into practicing it. I will give you the accompanying treasures later."
Lu Qingshan reminded him.
"This disciple understands." True Yan King nodded solemnly.
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, "You came to the Initial Universe and came to me right away. I am very pleased. But now you should go to the City Lord's Mansion, get the True Treasure Points within your authority, and then go to pay your respects to your other teacher. He should be very happy to see that you have broken through to become Universe Venerable."
Venerable Zhen Yan bowed respectfully before slowly rising and leaving Qingshan Residence.
