Purple Rain Continent.
Inside a white palace, Purple Rain Venerable looked at his brother, the Bug Chasing King, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.
"You said that the Demon Master Xue You has taken you as his disciple and promised to help you break through to the Universe Venerable level?"
"Yes, brother----"
The Bug Chasing King nodded.
After leaving his teacher, he immediately came to Purple Rain Venerable to report the good news.
"Now that you have a powerful teacher, I'm relieved. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have refused in the first place."
"Brother, don't say that—over the years, your help to me has been no less than that of a teacher—now that I have the Universe Master teacher, please don't take this matter to heart anymore."
The Bug Chasing King interrupted Purple Rain Venerable.
"Alright, I won't say anymore!" Purple Rain Venerable shook his head and said with a smile, "You're lucky. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't really believe them if they said they could help you break through to the Universe Venerable level. But since it's Demon Master Xue You saying this, there's definitely no problem. My brother here never makes empty promises. Since he said it, he can definitely help you achieve it..."
Purple Rain Venerable recalled the scene when he dealt with Venerable Tianhua.
Originally, he only asked Venerable Xue You to be his helper and cooperate with him, but he did not expect that Venerable Xue You would almost kill Venerable Tianhua with his first move: if Venerable Tianhua had not possessed the Palace Supreme Treasure, the White Needle, he would not have had a chance to make a move.
My brother always speaks with discretion; if he says he can help the Bug Chasing King break through, then it probably won't take many epochs for him to do so.
"If I become Universe Venerable, I can also help my elder brother," the Bug Chasing King said expectantly.
"Haha." Purple Rain Venerable laughed and said, "You're still a bit lacking. Although your divine body is powerful, your secret techniques are too weak. Even if you become Universe Venerable, you'll only be slightly stronger than an ordinary Universe Overlord. If you want to help me, you need to raise the level of your secret techniques and improve your treasures as well. However, if you become Universe Venerable, your ability to protect yourself will be no less than that of Top Universe Overlord."
Purple Rain Venerable knew how powerful his brother's divine body was. Although it couldn't compare to his own, it was still 60,000 kilometers tall and incredibly sturdy. If combined with a defensive Supreme Treasure, it could probably make even a typical Universe Overlord despair.
Its only weakness is its soul. Soul Supreme Treasure are precious, but they shouldn't mean much to the Demon Master Xue You. He might even bestow one upon the Bug Chasing King.
The Bug Chasing King to the Demon Master Xue You — Purple Rain Venerable —was genuinely happy for his brother.
Suddenly remembering something, he smiled and said, "From now on, when Xue You isn't around, you can call me Big Brother. Xue You is around, you can call me Purple Rain —don't lower my seniority."
In the distant Human Territory, within Lu Qingshan's Divine Kingdom.
Lu Qingshan, dressed in a green robe, quietly landed outside a massive palace in the Divine Kingdom.
Having taken the Bug Chasing King as his disciple, Lu Qingshan naturally wanted to train him to become Universe Venerable level as soon as possible.
Otherwise, although the standards granted are slightly better than those of Luo, there is no essential difference.
King Rank and Universe Venerable are two completely different worlds.
It is not an easy task to help an Invincible King break through, so Lu Qingshan thought of his disciple Ling Xi.
The dish that Ling Xi researched at Qingshan Residence had already greatly helped her comprehend the Law of Space.
When she entered the Time Temple, she mentioned that her next research direction would mainly be the superior grade of that dish.
This is exactly what Lu Qingshan needs right now.
A moment later, he stepped into the Time Temple and appeared in the space where Ling Xi was.
This is an area with a diameter of tens of kilometers—although the area is large, it looks very crowded. Apart from Ling Xi, the only living person, there are tens of thousands of Mechanical Puppet here. These puppets act as assistants, helping Ling Xi to do some simple tasks.
Various ingredients were piled up all around—there seemed to be a lot of ingredients, but it didn't look cluttered.
At this moment, Ling Xi was squatting next to the huge stove, simmering a pot of thick white soup.
The broth in the pot was incredibly delicious, yet no odor escaped. With each simmer, the rich aura of Law of Space could be felt.
" Ling Xi —did the research you mentioned last time go smoothly?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Teacher!"
Ling Xi turned around and saw Lu Qingshan. While controlling the heat, she said, "It's a success—I've made many, but they haven't reached my most satisfactory state yet."
As she spoke, Ling Xi took out a Space Ring.
Lu Qingshan took it and looked at it.
It was filled with bottles and jars.
These should all be products produced by Ling Xi over the years.
Although only twenty years have passed outside, the Time Temple accelerates ten thousand times, meaning two hundred thousand years have passed for Ling Xi here.
Two hundred thousand years—if it weren't for this captivating culinary skill, Lu Qingshan wouldn't know how Ling Xi had managed to persevere.
Although the three marks on Ling Xi's brow were not very obvious, Lu Qingshan still saw through them at a glance.
This is the mark of someone who has mastered the art of Space Teleportation.
When Ling Xi left Qingshan Residence, she had already comprehended Space Lockdown and gained formal recognition from the Space Origin Law. Now, she has also comprehended Space Teleportation.
Is this the result of 200,000 years of work?
Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised.
If others were to comprehend the laws in such a rapid Time Acceleration, it would be extremely difficult, but Ling Xi seemed to encounter no obstacles at all. After all, she never seemed to actively comprehend the laws; she simply grasped them quietly while cooking.
Two hundred thousand years to comprehend Space Teleportation —even a genius would find it difficult to achieve this in the outside world.
Ling Xi, however, completed it within the Time Temple, where Time Acceleration.
"Could it be that Ling Xi will become Universe Venerable faster than Ling Yu?"
Lu Qingshan wondered to himself.
Ling Yu had already comprehended two and a half branches of the Time Law before, and now that he has gone to the Ancestral God Religion to receive the inheritance, with the help of the Glory Points provided by the sect, Ling Yu's progress will inevitably be rapid.
Lu Qingshan originally thought that among his many disciples, Ling Yu might be the next to become a Universe Venerable, but he did not expect that Ling Xi's progress would catch him off guard.
With the addition of the newly accepted disciple, the Bug Chasing King, Ling Yu might only be ranked third now.
"Teacher, please try my dish and see how it tastes!"
Ling Xi busied herself for a moment, then, seeing that her teacher hadn't yet taken out the items from his Space Ring, urged him on.
"Hmm, I'll try it."
Lu Qingshan did not disappoint his disciple's expectations. He took out a wine bottle and took a big gulp.
This specially made bottle has a strong heat retention effect; when Lu Qingshan tasted it, the soup was still warm.
The taste—can only be described as delicious. Even in the Glory World and the Virtual Universe, Lu Qingshan had never tasted such delicious food. He was the Universe Master —his will was incredibly strong. If it were anyone else, they probably would never forget the taste after just one sip.
"It was delicious."
Lu Qingshan praised it.
Ling Xi's expectant eyes narrowed into slits as she tossed her short blue hair and said, "Teacher—I'm glad you like it—these are successful, but they're not the most perfect quality yet. Wait until I've made the most perfect version, then you can try it and see what changes."
"It's already so delicious even though it's not perfect, what would it taste like if it were perfect? Your master is really looking forward to it----" Lu Qingshan encouraged his disciple.
He slowly finished the entire bottle of soup, feeling a sense of comfort similar to that after drinking alcohol. He had already grasped the essence of space and couldn't sense any major changes, but he could clearly feel that the Law of Space around him seemed much clearer after finishing the soup.
However, this should only be the most insignificant of its effects.
" Ling Xi, has your sister contacted you all these years?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"I've contacted her—my sister went to the Ancestral God Religion and has been very busy lately—but time flows very slowly there."
Ling Xi got up, glanced at the escaping energy in the pot, and sighed.
She skillfully summoned the puppet and disposed of the failed creation.
"That's natural. For your sister, only twenty years have passed—"
"Teacher, this place is amazing! It's perfect for me—I can focus on my own things and contact my sister whenever I have a spare moment, and she won't worry about me."
Ling Xi looked around; he really liked this space of his.
"If you like, you can stay here indefinitely, but you're welcome to go out for a stroll whenever you have time. There's no risk in my Divine Kingdom— "
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Yes, teacher, I know—but teacher, I'm almost out of materials—I need to replenish them."
Ling Xi looked troubled.
"It's just materials. Whatever you need, just send it to my email, and I'll have Nasus place the order for you. You don't need to worry about any of this. Just do what you like. As long as the materials exist in the Primal Universe, I can find them for you."
"Teacher, thank you so much."
Ling Xi expressed her gratitude, then sent over a long menu containing a truly impressive array of ingredients—tens of millions of different kinds.
The creatures in the Primal Universe are vast and numerous. Even the Universe Master could not possibly know them all. Ling Xi's authority is not very high, but Lu Qingshan left a smart interface for Nasus here, which allows Ling Xi to use his authority to search for these things. Many things that exist in her inheritance but not in the Primal Universe, Ling Xi needs to rely on these huge material databases to find alternative products.
"Teacher, isn't this too much?" Ling Xi asked cautiously.
"Not many, not many— Nasus can basically handle these."
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
He naturally gave his full support to Ling Xi's research—he was also very much looking forward to seeing how far Ling Xi would grow.
He wasn't particularly interested in Ling Xi's inheritance; after all, it looked incredibly complicated. Lu Qingshan still felt that comprehending the laws was much simpler. He was curious, though, why was Ling Xi the only one who received the inheritance when other disciples seemed to have little success cultivating the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Refining technique?
Over the next few days, he took Ling Xi on a tour of the Divine Kingdom, promising Ling Xi several plots of land to raise food. Afterward, Ling Xi returned to the Time Temple, and Lu Qingshan also left the Divine Kingdom.
Back at his manor on the mainland, the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, Lu Qingshan had Nasus place an order to buy 99% of the materials on Ling Xi's list—the quantity of these materials was too large, and some were in considerable quantities—it would take some time to gather them all.
As for the remaining core materials that are not found among Human Race, Lu Qingshan plans to personally help purchase them.
However, before that, some of the food obtained from Ling Xi should be distributed.
Half a day later----
Bulu used the Plant Life God's teleportation to return to the mainland of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.
His silver armor was dazzling, and his aura remained that of a World Lord Ninth Stage.
However, the golden mark between his brows indicates that he has already gained the recognition of the Origin of Gold Law.
Upon entering the manor, Bulu approached Lu Qingshan and knelt down, saying, "Brother Bulu greets Teacher!"
"Get up—" Lu Qingshan raised his hand, and a gentle force lifted Bulu up.
Then his gaze fell upon his younger brother.
Among the many disciples, apart from Lu San and Ya Jieming, who are Third-Class Genius, Bulu's talent is currently the worst, and he has not been able to seize a special life like Parisi and Lei Ming.
Therefore, when considering who to give the food to, he immediately thought of Bulu.
This brother, who shared the same background as him, made significant contributions during the period when the slave trade was strictly prohibited in the Ruwu Universe.
"How does the Space Clan feel about this servant?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"This disciple is ashamed; all these years, I still have not gained the initial recognition of the Space Clan."
The reason why Bulu did not choose to break through to Immortal is because he was still one step away. As for the Space Clan, since he did not achieve initial recognition, it means that he has not reached the threshold of Marquis. After breaking through, he can only become Immortal Army Lord.
As the younger brother of the Wan clan, Bulu naturally understood that if one possessed the Marquis Immortal, then at the moment of breaking through to Immortal, the Sea of the Clan's Power could help him cultivate Undying Body.
Otherwise, even if you break through to the Immortal Realm Marquis realm later on, it will still take a very long time to cultivate this Undying Body.
"Compared to others, your progress is already quite good----" Lu Qingshan was not disappointed. Bulu was just an ordinary genius with only average talent. To be able to get so close to becoming Marquis in just tens of thousands of years was already an amazing speed of progress.
Furthermore, Bulu later revised the analysis of the essence of the theory.
"I have some food here that might be helpful for those in the Cultivation Space. Try it and see how it goes?"
Lu Qingshan took out several bottles of soup made by Ling Xi and gave them to Bulu. He was also looking forward to seeing what kind of return this would bring.
