In the Initial Universe, in the Chaos City, within a luxurious manor.
The Ganwu Country Lord looked at his disciple and sighed with admiration.
" Qingshan, when I took you as my disciple, I could foresee that you would achieve extraordinary things in the future. I just didn't expect that in just a few epochs, you would have already reached this level."
These days.
Countless people have come to visit him, so how could the Ganwu Country Lord not know about his disciple's achievements in the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region?
Universe Overlord? He killed him without a second thought.
Even the death of the Top Universe Overlord, Venerable Tianhua, seems to be related to his disciple.
Although he had died four times over the years, compared to taking Lu Qingshan as his disciple, those were nothing.
"Haha, teacher—I owe my success today to your guidance."
Lu Qingshan picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of Purple Fire Ape Wine for his teacher Ganwu Country Lord.
Upon returning from the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region, he specially purchased a batch of Purple Fire Ape Wine. Although Ling Xi's fruit wine was also quite good, Purple Fire Ape Wine was definitely more upscale for entertaining guests.
" Qingshan, don't flatter me. I know my own abilities perfectly well—accepting you as my disciple was purely coincidental and didn't really help your growth. On the contrary, you—not only helped me pay off my debts, but your fellow disciples also benefited!"
The Ganwu Country Lord picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely pleased.
" Qingshan, did you really kill Venerable Tianhua?"
No one objected to Lu Qingshan killing Tianyang Venerable, since it was witnessed by the powerful members of the Hongmeng Alliance, and Tianyang Venerable's Winged Supreme Treasure were in his possession. However, Venerable Tianhua —who had once possessed the Control of Space-Time —was not the one to be confirmed as Lu Qingshan's killer, as Lu Qingshan had not yet become the Universe Master.
Of course, apart from the Ganwu Country Lord, no one else would come to verify with Lu Qingshan, since that would definitely involve Lu Qingshan's secrets, which would be a very offensive act.
Even the Chaos City Lord didn't bring it up.
But the Ganwu Country Lord did not have this concern.
Lu Qingshan is his disciple, and even if he becomes the Universe Master, he will still be his disciple. This relationship will always exist, especially since Lu Qingshan himself is a person who values relationships very much.
"Teacher—I did indeed kill Venerable Tianhua, but as for how I did it—"
" Qingshan, haha, don't say anymore. Knowing this is already enough to make your master very happy." The Ganwu Country Lord laughed heartily, interrupting Lu Qingshan's next words.
Although many people speculated that Venerable Tianhua's death was related to Lu Qingshan, only the Ganwu Country Lord was truly certain.
He said excitedly.
" Qingshan, do you know, when I encountered Venerable Tianhua in the Guixu Secret Realm and knew I was doomed, I told him—my disciple will avenge me sooner or later. At the time, he scoffed—but he never expected that my disciple would actually do it."
Lu Qingshan showed a hint of regret. "Teacher, it's a pity that I didn't obtain Venerable Tianhua's relics this time, and I didn't bring back the treasures you had before."
Speaking of this...
An embarrassed expression appeared on the face of the Ganwu Country Lord, who then shook his head and said, "It's alright, it's alright—when I was killed by Venerable Tianhua, I only had two True Treasure on me, and only my weapon was Top-Tier Heavy Treasure. Losing them doesn't matter— Venerable Tianhua probably threw them away as trash long ago."
"It's hard to say—I heard that Venerable Tianhua died once in the Guixu Secret Realm before. Perhaps Master's treasures fell into the hands of Purple Rain Venerable. Senior Brother Longjing has many connections in the Ancestral God Religion. We can ask Senior Brother Longjing to help Master get them back in the future."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Uh—" The Ganwu Country Lord quickly shook his head. "Why waste that favor for two ordinary True Treasure? Forget it—"
It was clear that the Ganwu Country Lord did not want to reclaim his own storage arm guard, especially since he had asked his disciple to hand it over.
Seeing that the Ganwu Country Lord was resolute, Lu Qingshan did not bring up the matter again.
Although the teacher's storage arm guard was with the Xue You Clone, he really couldn't take it out.
After all, Purple Rain Venerable had seen that thing, and Venerable Tianhua knew who had it in their hands. He certainly couldn't just take it out and return it to the Ganwu Country Lord, otherwise he would be exposing his relationship with the Xue You Clone.
Of course, there's no problem having Longjing Venerable as an intermediary.
Lu Qingshan originally had the same idea.
It was unexpected that Longjing Venerable would perish in the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region when the Ganwu Country Lord was resurrected. The Ganwu Country Lord probably didn't want his storage arm guard anymore because of those ten thousand or so Guixu Soul Fruit.
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and decided to leave it with the Xue You Clone for the time being.
Perhaps in the future, if the teacher inherits the Ancient Civilization Inheritance, becomes the Universe Master, personally slays Venerable Tianhua, and reclaims his treasure, it would seem to bring him a greater sense of accomplishment.
At that time, he only needed to return the treasure to Venerable Tianhua ahead of time.
" Qingshan —I intend to return to the Ganwu Mystic Region."
After finishing the bottle of wine, the Ganwu Country Lord finally revealed his thoughts.
"Teacher, are you experiencing any discomfort while living in Chaos City?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"No, not at all!" The Ganwu Country Lord shook his head. "After my resurrection, I stayed in Chaos City mainly for your second senior brother, Longjing Venerable. A few days ago, I met with the Lord of Chaos City Lord Chaos City Lord, who said that the Giant Axe Founder would resurrect Longjing Venerable and all the King Rank who have fallen over the years before leaving. Knowing this, I am relieved."
When does the teacher plan to leave?
Lu Qingshan asked.
"I'll return to the Ganwu Mystic Region after you leave." The Universe Venerable acts with natural ease and decisiveness; once he makes a decision, there's no need for delay.
"Well, since Master wishes to return to the Ganwu Universe Country, this disciple will not try to stop you. It's good that Master is leaving; this disciple will no longer be able to remain here."
Lu Qingshan smiled and took out another bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine.
The master and disciple chatted and drank, but Lu Qingshan secretly sent a message to Venerable Zhen Yan.
About half a day has passed.
The Purple Fire Ape Wine had been consumed in great quantities, and even the Ganwu Country Lord, High Universe Venerable, was slightly tipsy.
" Qingshan —I can't drink anymore, or I'll get drunk."
19
"Good."
Lu Qingshan nodded, and at that moment, Venerable Zhen Yan walked in from outside the gate.
"Greetings, teacher; greetings, grandmaster."
Venerable Zhen Yan bowed respectfully to the two.
The Ganwu Country Lord is an ancient Universe Country Lord. When Venerable Zhen Yan was conferred the title of King Rank, the Ganwu Country Lord was his senior. Although they are both Universe Venerable now, he naturally addresses the Ganwu Country Lord as his grandmaster.
" Zhen Yan! You've come at the perfect time. Let's have a few more drinks with your teacher; I can't take it anymore."
The Ganwu Country Lord stood up and pointed to the spot opposite him.
"Grandmaster, I have come today to deliver some things to our teacher."
The Venerable Zhen Yan did not sit down, but instead took out two treasures, which floated in the air under his divine power.
One was a silver-white battle armor.
One was a War Blade that shimmered with purple light patterns.
Looking at these two treasures, the Ganwu Country Lord was somewhat surprised. He could sense that both treasures were of the Supreme Treasure level.
In his most extravagant days, he also possessed Supreme Treasure!
Lu Qingshan pointed to the two treasures and said, "Teacher, you lost all your treasures when you were resurrected this time, so I have nothing to give you. These two Supreme Treasure, one for offense and one for defense, you can use them for now. If you find any other good things in the future, I will keep an eye out for them for you."
" Qingshan, no!" The Ganwu Country Lord hurriedly shook his head. " Qingshan, you've already spent a lot to help me pay off those debts, how can I possibly take your Supreme Treasure?"
"Teacher—this is a token of my disciple's heart." Lu Qingshan put away the two Supreme Treasure and handed them to the Ganwu Country Lord.
" Qingshan, I've decided to permanently reside in the Ganwu Universe Country and no longer venture out on adventures, so I won't need this treasure!"
Although the Ganwu Country Lord longed for the Supreme Treasure, he restrained himself.
The main reason is that his students have sacrificed so much for him, and he, as their teacher, feels embarrassed!
"Teacher, Supreme Treasure are something you can use but you can't be without—look at that Venerable Lei Ming, he possesses a Supreme Treasure Armor and a Supreme Treasure weapon. You are even more Elder Gu than him, so having one or two Supreme Treasure to protect you will at least save face."
"That Venerable Lei Ming's strength is close to that of a hegemon, and he is also a master weapon refiner. How can I compare to him?" The Ganwu Country Lord gave a bitter smile.
"Teacher, think about my current strength. What is this little bit of knowledge to me?"
Hearing his disciples say this, the Ganwu Country Lord stopped declining.
Lu Qingshan is at least a Top Universe Overlord, so two Ordinary Supreme Treasure are really nothing to him.
" Qingshan, don't do that again. I am merely High Venerable. Having too many treasures is not necessarily a good thing."
The Ganwu Country Lord put away his Supreme Treasure War Blade, picked up the armor, and gently stroked it with his fingers.
Supreme Treasure Armor!
The Supreme Treasure armor he lost on the Primal Star seems to bear some resemblance to this one.
Although it wasn't a single item, it still brought back some memories for the Ganwu Country Lord. He had forgotten how many years had passed, and now Ganwu once again possessed Supreme Treasure.
"Teacher, you should refine the treasure in this Chaos City before returning to the Ganwu Mystic Region."
Lu Qingshan stood up and said.
"Good."
The Ganwu Country Lord nodded.
Refining these two Supreme Treasure will greatly enhance his strength. Although he still won't reach the level of Universe Overlord, he won't be far off. His Body Amplitude is already at its peak of a hundredfold, and his secret techniques are also at the level of Universe Overlord. The only thing that consumes the most resources is his Gene Multiplier, which is only fiftyfold at present.
Of the conditions for Universe Overlord, if resources are plentiful, this Gene Multiplier is precisely the easiest to achieve.
Lu Qingshan and Venerable Zhen Yan left together, and the Ganwu Country Lord saw them off at the door.
Not long after.
A guard in purple robes arrived once more.
Under the astonished gaze of the Ganwu Country Lord, the purple-robed guard handed him a silver-white box.
" Ganwu Country Lord, these are some Beast God Blood that Myriad Laws Venerable exchanged for you. Please take a look."
Beast God Blood ----
He opened the box.
One hundred drops of the Beast God Blood were neatly arranged in the box.
The Ganwu Country Lord knew what this thing represented. It was the best treasure in the Human Race Treasury for increasing Gene Multiplier. With the Beast God Blood, he could completely increase his Gene Multiplier to the perfect level of 100 times.
A hundredfold Gene Multiplier, a hundredfold Body Amplitude, a secret technique of Universe Overlord level, and two Supreme Treasure, one for offense and one for defense.
Is he, Ganwu, finally going to become the Universe Overlord?
The Ganwu Country Lord felt a moment of dizziness, as if he were dreaming!
