A moment later, Venerable Zhen Yan reappeared, his golden pupils still holding a hint of disbelief.
"Teacher, what level of secret technique is this?"
" Peak Secret Technique at the level of Universe Overlord."
Lu Qingshan spoke slowly.
" The Peak Secret Technique of Universe Overlord —as expected—" Venerable Zhen Yan took a deep breath. "Does this move, teacher, have a name?"
" Eternity of All Things," Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"That's a good name—it truly is like eternity, impossible to dodge, impossible to resist. It killed me in a single move. Both are Peak Secret Technique, but the difference between their levels is too great!"
Venerable Zhen Yan had originally created an Ultimate Secret Technique and was quite proud of it, but now he was completely devastated.
The time it took his teacher to break through to the Universe Venerable wasn't much longer than his, but in terms of secret techniques, the gap between them was too exaggerated, as if they were from completely different worlds.
"No need to rush. With your solid foundation and my guidance, you may very well be able to create such a secret technique in the future."
Lu Qingshan smiled and comforted him.
Venerable Zhen Yan scratched his head and said, "I know my limitations. I shouldn't expect such secret techniques for now. I should focus on creating more Ultimate Secret Technique and strive to gain the strength of High Venerable as soon as possible."
"Having this mindset is good." Lu Qingshan nodded, then said, "Are you still in the Ganwu Universe Country?"
"Yes, disciple is with the Bloodthirsty King."
"That Bloodthirsty guy is not bad—hmm, go to Qiu Long Star in the Maple Leaf Empire, there's an Alien Race Universe Venerable hiding there, let's go check it out together!"
"It's the teacher!"
Venerable Zhen Yan quickly spoke up.
Alien Race Universe Venerable?
He might not be able to beat his teacher, but he can certainly beat Alien Race Universe Venerable!
Maple Leaf Empire, Qiu Long Star.
As the most prosperous commercial planet in the Maple Leaf Empire, Rainbow Dragon Star can be said to be the most bustling place in the entire empire.
Every day, countless spaceships come to the port to take off and land.
Among them, D-class and E-class spaceships were quite common, and many of them came from powerful merchant guilds outside the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.
Driven by various motives, they all established their own commercial branches on Rainbow Dragon Star and forged a good cooperative relationship with the Lord's Mansion on Qiu Long Star.
Land here has been driven up to astronomical prices; even a tiny shop can be worth as much as a life-bearing planet.
On the most bustling street of Rainbow Dragon Star, a ninety-story building stands tall. Here Hundred Flavors Pavilion, the most luxurious restaurant on Qiu Long Star. It is the only one of its kind in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.
Inside a private room on the 88th floor of the restaurant.
Lei Ming and a young man dressed in silver armor were talking to each other.
" Lei Ming, it's been so many years—your demeanor has changed so much. I almost didn't recognize you when I first saw you just now."
Beta scrutinized Lei Ming and noticed that his friend seemed to Thunderlight Flash. The powerful aura emanating from him was so terrifying that even as a World Lord Level, he felt incredibly uneasy.
"Not bad, Beta, you're not bad either." Lei Ming also looked at his old friend. "I didn't expect that in less than ten thousand years, you would break through to the World Lord Level and become the number one commander on Qiu Long Star. Now, even in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, you are considered a big shot."
Lei Ming naturally guessed that his friend must have some good fortune. Although the other party's talent was decent, the hope of becoming World Lord Level was too slim. Of course— Lei Ming didn't care, nor would he covet the other party's opportunity. No matter how great the other party's opportunity was, could it compare to his own?
Beta was only First Stage Realm Lord, but he could break through to Immortal in just one breath. Moreover, after breaking through, his strength would far surpass that of ordinary Immortal God.
"Compared to you, I'm still far inferior. To you, the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is probably just a small place."
Beta said with a smile.
Lei Ming did not respond, which was taken as tacit agreement.
He said, " Beta, what are your plans? It's a waste of your talents to stay on Qiu Long Star at the World Lord Level. How about going to the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, or the Ganwu Universe Country? I have some connections there and can find you a very good job."
" Lei Ming, thanks. I know you meant well, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. Becoming World Lord Level is already very satisfying for me. I don't have much ambition. I've lived here ever since I escaped from Planetary Level to Rainbow Dragon Star. I have a deep affection for Qiu Long Star, and staying here is fine."
Beta smiled and said that he was not lying. He did have a deep affection for Rainbow Dragon Star, the place that changed his destiny, even more so than for his home planet. But there was another reason for staying here—he wanted to wait for his teacher.
The teacher who gave him countless cultivation secrets and resources, Mr. Kui—
He didn't have the other person's Virtual Universe ID, so he could only stay on Qiu Long Star so that his teacher could find him immediately upon returning.
The thought of her teacher made Beta's heart clench.
The teacher's words before leaving worried him greatly; it seemed the teacher was about to do something very dangerous. He wondered if the teacher had succeeded.
" Beta," Lei Ming called softly, raising his glass.
"Haha, you've been daydreaming." Beta picked up his glass, clinked it with Lei Ming's, and continued, "What about you? You've been wandering around for tens of thousands of years now, haven't you? If you don't go back soon, your teacher might forget about you."
"Teacher doesn't know." Lei Ming shook his head, then smiled, remembering that he had just received an email from his teacher not long ago. "However, I should go back and pay my respects to my teacher."
Right now.
Lei Ming's Intelligent Life told him he had received an important email. He opened it and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Setting down his glass, Lei Ming stood up and said, " Beta, I have to go now. Contact me in the Virtual Universe if anything comes up."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Beta stood up to see him off.
Not long after Lei Ming left, a voice transmission sounded in Beta's ear, and a look of excitement flashed in Beta's eyes.
"It's the teacher! The teacher is back!"
Beta quickly got up and flew towards a secluded house.
Light-years away from Qiu Long Star, above a Origin Star.
As soon as Lei Ming's spaceship left the Dark Universe, it spotted two figures in the starry sky before it.
He opened the spaceship's hatch and flew over.
"Teacher, Zhen Yan."
Lei Ming quickly greeted them, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that besides his teacher, Venerable Zhen Yan was also here—these were two Universe Venerable!
" Lei Ming, is this your Clone?"
--
Lu Qingshan looked at his disciple, whose demeanor had changed drastically.
After possessing the Thunder Demonic Vine, Lei Ming Parasitism his original body, becoming one of its Clone.
"Yes, teacher. My true form is too large to be seen in person, so I've been keeping it in my World Ring. Teacher, would you like to see me?"
Lei Ming said to the teacher.
"No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Zhen Yan and I came here this time because there is another thing we need to do."
"Teacher, could it be related to your disciple?" Lei Ming guessed.
"Haha, you've become much smarter than before. It seems that traveling through the universe does have some benefits."
Lu Qingshan smiled and didn't hide anything, saying, "There's an Alien Race Universe Venerable lurking on that Qiu Long Star. I went there to deal with that Universe Venerable. Knowing you were on Qiu Long Star, I summoned you here to prevent accidental injury!"
" Alien Race Universe Venerable?"
Lei Ming took a deep breath, utterly shocked.
As Lu Qingshan's disciple, he also joined the Virtual Universe Company and became Core Member. Naturally, he knew what Universe Venerable was. He never expected that there would be an Alien Race Universe Venerable on such a small Qiu Long Star, which even attracted his teacher to come in person.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
" Beta?"
He asked the question.
"That Alien Race Universe Venerable does indeed have some connection with your friend. Otherwise, with his talent, he would have a hard time becoming a domain World Lord Domain Lord. However, rest assured, this matter has nothing to do with your friend; he has not betrayed Human Race."
"Thank goodness, thank goodness!"
Lei Ming's doubts were also resolved. No wonder Beta had made such great progress over the years; it turned out he had received help from a Universe Venerable.
"Junior Brother Lei Ming, it seems the Law of Lightning around you are almost uncontrollable. Are you about to break through to the Immortal God?"
Venerable Zhen Yan also spoke with a smile.
"Yes, I'm only a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the Lightning Origin Law. I'm forcibly suppressing them, but I'm almost at my breaking point—I'm currently studying Master Aoyama's ' Qingshan One: Time Fundamentals '."
Lei Ming nodded and said.
"In your current state, you can't suppress it for long. The Sea of Laws might descend any day. You should go to the Chaos City the Initial Universe to cultivate. Only there can you be assured that you won't have to worry about breaking through before you gain the recognition of the Time Origin Law."
Venerable Zhen Yan offered a reminder.
Lu Qingshan also spoke up, " Zhen Yan is right. Go to the Initial Universe. Comprehending the Time Law is one aspect, but going to the Initial Universe at the World Lord Level will still have some benefits for you."
"Teacher, senior brother, Lei Ming understands."
Lei Ming nodded.
"Okay, let's get down to business first. You can stay with us for a while." As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, he immediately used Teleportation with Lei Ming, and the next moment they appeared in the sky above Qiu Long Star.
call!
He raised a finger.
In an instant, the entire Qiu Long Star was plunged into darkness. The billions of people living on Qiu Long Star were suddenly plunged into darkness, and before they could even understand what was happening, they were all taken into a huge World Ring.
What's going on?
"Where are we now?"
What happened to Qiu Long Star?
Many people were filled with fear and anxiety, not knowing what had happened.
At that moment, a clear and loud voice rang out.
"Please calm down. Qiu Long Star is in danger. For your safety, our Human Race's powerful warriors have taken you into their World Ring. There's no need to worry! Anyone who dares to cause chaos will be killed without mercy!"
"It's Lord Kyle."
"That's the lord's voice. So it's inside the World Ring. That's alright then."
"What exactly happened to Qiu Long Star? Is my shop alright?"
Outside, the entire Qiu Long Star was shrouded in the Black Sand Sea domain, with only the space where Qiu Long Star Qiu Long Star was located being isolated, preventing it from being damaged.
"That Venerable Kui En didn't stop us from taking the others in, so he probably didn't have much malicious intent."
Venerable Zhen Yan spoke up, saying that he had concealed everyone the moment the Black Sand Domain was deployed.
"At least you know what's good for you—"
Lu Qingshan chuckled softly, his gaze fixed on a corner of Rainbow Dragon Star.
Everyone put it away, and he had no worries. Although it was a pity that the Qiu Long Star was destroyed, it was easy to create a new one.
In a secluded courtyard.
The Venerable Kui En, dressed in a grey linen robe, looked at the dark, oppressive world and frowned slightly.
"The Black Sand Domain True Treasure of the Myriad Laws Venerable ----"
The Demon Race entrusted him with the second assassination attempt on Human Race genius, so they naturally provided him with ample intelligence, including detailed information about the Shadow Kill Venerable's assassination.
" Shadow Kill Venerable died instantly within the Black Sand Domain True Treasure. Although I am somewhat stronger than him, I lack any protective True Treasure— "
Escaping is so difficult, so incredibly difficult!
