Inside a vast palace on the Xue You Continent.
Lu Qingshan was playing with the Void Nether Illusory Heart Fruit, which was of very good quality.
The white peel glowed with iridescent light, and a rich aura of Law of Space flowed around it. Just by getting close, one's understanding of Law of Space became much clearer.
The stuff is good stuff----
But there's really no one who can bestow this gift upon you.
Since there were no suitable candidates on his own side, he naturally wouldn't give them to unrelated people. As for the Xue You Clone —most of them followed the path of Fusion Law; even among the Time Venerable, very few studied the Law of Space.
Giving it to Bulu, his son, and Golden Sword would be a waste. This stuff should be used at the most crucial time to maximize its benefits.
Take a moment to think.
Lu Qingshan raised his hand.
A monster covered in golden scales and with a golden mane appeared in the Xue You Palace.
Upon appearing, he knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master."
99
" Mirror, how far are you from comprehending the Law of Space?"
Lu Qingshan inquired, "Master, within the Law of Space, I have fully comprehended Teleportation and Space Lock, but I am still slightly lacking in Strangulation —and I have also begun to integrate Teleportation and Space Lock —and have made some progress."
Mirror King answered honestly.
Lu Qingshan hummed in agreement.
There is still a clear difference between Mirror King and Bug Chasing King in terms of their Law Comprehension.
The Bug Chasing King, in his current state, still has a chance to break through to the Universe Venerable level on his own, while the Mirror King, without special circumstances, has a very slim chance of breaking through.
"You're lucky—I happen to have a treasure here that might help you break through to the next level. Open your mouth!"
Upon hearing this...
The Mirror King immediately opened his blood-red maw.
Then.
Lu Qingshan then threw the extremely high-quality Void Nether Illusory Heart Fruit into the mouth of the Mirror King.
"Relax and contemplate the principles—see if you can break through."
Lu Qingshan offered a reminder, then observed the changes in the Mirror King.
The Mirror King does have some use; his treasure-hunting ability is extremely rare among Special Lifeform. It's just that he's too weak to unleash it. If he were to be elevated to the level of Universe Overlord, he could play a very strong role, whether on the Primal Star or in the Universe Ocean.
It was for this reason that Lu Qingshan entrusted him with the precious Void Nether Illusory Heart Fruit.
This item is good, but it's not impossible to replicate. Once Bulu has used up what he received this time, he can get another one next time.
Within the massive body of the Mirror King, multicolored Flowing Light shimmered, and a rich aura of the Space Origin Law circulated around him.
Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that his understanding was progressing.
This speed is extremely fast.
Much later.
Clang.
As if breaking some kind of restriction, Mirror King, who was closing his eyes to comprehend the laws, revealed an expression of wild joy.
Immediately—in the sky, the Sea of Laws descended—the surging Sea of Laws condensed into a gigantic vortex with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers.
The commotion of this breakthrough was incomparable to that of the Bug Chasing King's breakthrough, but it was still incredibly exaggerated. Powerful figures from several continents not far from the Xue You Continent could basically sense this aura.
The golden scales on Mirror King's body shimmered as he opened his mouth, inhaling the vast Divine Power Ocean.
A moment later, the Sea of Laws slowly dissipated, and the enormous body of the Mirror King, which spanned thousands of kilometers, gradually shrank to the size of a calf.
"Master, I've broken through!"
Mirror King was extremely excited.
His hopes of breaking through to the Universe Venerable were originally very slim, but he never expected to break through so quickly after following his master.
How much divine power has been converted?
Lu Qingshan asked.
Forty-one percent.
Mirror King quickly replied.
41%!
The conversion efficiency is already quite good, mainly because the Mirror King's divine body is not that large compared to the Bug Chasing King —his speed of absorbing the Sea of Laws is also extremely exaggerated, which is why the conversion result is so excellent.
" Mirror King, from now on you will be Mirror Venerable. From now on you no longer need to stay in the storage arm guard; just help me guard the gate."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and threw another golden claw spike at Mirror King.
This is an Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapon. Combined with Mirror King's own Supreme Treasure Armor, with one Supreme Treasure for offense and one for defense, plus his decent Innate Secret Technique, Mirror King's strength is already close to the level of Universe Overlord.
"Master, I will definitely guard the door well."
Mirror King put away his Supreme Treasure claw spikes, overjoyed.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Yes."
Mirror King walked towards the palace gate. Upon reaching the palace entrance, he lay down on the grass, guarding the palace gate while refining the Supreme Treasure weapon that his master had just bestowed upon him.
His master had been too good to him; even in death, he would not allow the enemy to break into his master's palace.
Not long after.
Mirror King suddenly opened his eyes warily, looking at the figure wearing purple transparent armor flying from a distance.
" Purple Rain Venerable! No one may enter without my master's permission!"
Mirror Venerable let out a muffled groan.
Although his strength was far inferior to that of Purple Rain Venerable, he was not afraid of his opponent at all.
" Mirror King? No—you are already Universe Venerable. You were the one who caused the commotion just now?"
Purple Rain Venerable didn't mind; he was shocked by the surging divine power emanating from Mirror Venerable!
It was already quite exaggerated that his own brother, the Demon Master Xue You, could easily elevate the Bug Chasing King to the Universe Venerable level. He never expected that even the dog he raised would be elevated to the Universe Venerable level.
He knew perfectly well what kind of talent the Mirror King had before. The probability of him becoming Universe Venerable on his own was not high, and he was not even as good as his brother, the Bug Chasing King.
"Of course! Thanks to my master's reward, I have broken through to the Universe Venerable level," Mirror King said proudly.
Purple Rain Venerable was too lazy to argue with a servant. This Mirror King was not very bright to begin with, and it seemed to have gotten worse after becoming a servant.
He said, "Please inform them for me!"
"Master said you may go in." Mirror King stepped aside, his gaze still warily scrutinizing Purple Rain Venerable.
Purple Rain Venerable shook his head and stepped into the palace.
" Purple Rain —were you attracted by the commotion caused by Mirror King's breakthrough?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"No, no—although the breakthrough of the Mirror King was quite significant, it's still far from the breakthrough of the Bug Chasing King. I was originally supposed to come to the Xue You Continent, but I only sensed it after I got close."
Purple Rain Venerable shook his head and continued, "If you ask Mirror King to help guard the gate, the Northern Territory Alliance will probably find out very soon."
"So what if they know? What can they do to me?" Lu Qingshan chuckled indifferently, completely unconcerned.
The Universe Supreme Master of the Northern Territory Alliance is just a figurehead; he doesn't actually do anything. The only ones in charge of the Northern Territory Alliance are the Master of the Galaxy, the Master of the Black Lotus, and the Lord of the Star Master Liulan.
These three are all Fifth-Order Universe Master. Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone is also close to the Level 5 in strength, so he is naturally not afraid of these three. Besides, the little Mirror King is not someone these three need to cause trouble for.
"You don't even put the Northern Territory Alliance in your eyes. It seems that Brother Xue You's strength is far beyond what outsiders speculate."
"Purple Rain Venerable said in shock."
"Just average." Lu Qingshan waved his hand without saying more, but asked, "You just said you didn't come for the Mirror King's breakthrough, so what was it for?"
Only then did Purple Rain Venerable remember the important matter. He took out a World Ring and handed it over, saying...
"Brother Xue You —the biological materials inside this ring were collected by the Special Lifeform Team over the years. Most of them are materials from the Ancestral God Secret Realm, along with some materials from other places. I've verified them one by one; there are no duplicates. See if you can use them?"
Lu Qingshan picked up the ring and examined it.
The biological materials inside were indeed things he didn't possess. He had asked Purple Rain Venerable to collect the materials, but it wasn't just random collection—he had given Purple Rain Venerable the lists he already had. During the collection process, duplicates were removed, and the Special Lifeform could watch the changes in the catalog in real time.
This avoids redundant collection and also motivates those Special Lifeform forms.
After all, if you're even a little slow, someone else might submit their application with the same materials first.
" Purple Rain, not bad, not bad, these are all the materials I urgently need—have they done their work for me and made their contributions?"
Lu Qingshan put away the World Ring.
Purple Rain Venerable nodded and said, "I have recorded everyone's contributions and have already sent them to your Glory World. You can check them out----"
Let me see----
Lu Qingshan glanced at the list of contributions made by these Special Lifeform.
The biological materials contributed by each Special Lifeform are all clearly recorded on it.
To Lu Qingshan's surprise, Flora was the one who contributed the most.
It's important to understand that while there aren't many Universe Venerable in the Special Lifeform team, there are still over a dozen. Their abilities are definitely far beyond those of King Rank being. Flora is just an ordinary Invincible King being.
Purple Rain Venerable smiled and said, " Flora is very clever. She knew that the competition in the Ancestral God Secret Realm must be fierce, so after receiving the mission, she returned directly to the Wuhua Secret Realm. I don't know how she used it, but she persuaded the other Immortal God of the Kou Clan to work for her. In just a few hundred years, she has almost turned the Wuhua Secret Realm upside down, and she has collected almost all the biological materials that exist there."
"All the biological materials from a vast Cosmic Secret Realm —no wonder they contributed so much."
In fact, there was no need for Purple Rain Venerable to explain; he could basically guess the answer just by looking at the names of the biological materials.
This also gave him some inspiration.
Is there a reward system designed?
Lu Qingshan asked.
"Have!"
Purple Rain Venerable gave an affirmative answer.
Following the original list of contributors, the contribution value for each Special Lifeform was added, along with rewards—the more contributions made and the rarer the type, the greater the rewards.
The rewards are distributed in the form of True Treasure Points; if the amount is less than one point, it will be accumulated as a decimal of a fraction of a percent.
Purple Rain Venerable said, "I designed the reward myself. You can take a look and see if you want it changed."
"Change is necessary."
Lu Qingshan said directly.
"Hmm? Is the treatment too generous?" Purple Rain Venerable asked somewhat uncertainly.
In fact, the compensation he designed wasn't too high. After all, these Special Lifeform would be motivated to work for the Demon Master Xue You even without compensation.
"No, it's because the pay is too bad. Give me a tenfold increase."
Before Purple Rain Venerable could answer, he continued.
"Ten times the treatment of our Special Lifeform team, and also spread the word that all inheritors within the Ancestral God Religion, except for the Demon Race, can help me collect biological materials. Their treatment will also be calculated based on their contribution points, and will only be one-fifth of that of the Special Lifeform team."
"One-fifth, that's still quite a lot."
Purple Rain Venerable took a breath.
He originally thought there was enough biological material, but he didn't expect his brother to have such a big appetite.
He even got almost all the inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion to help him collect them.
If that's the case, the expenditure would be terrifying.
"If we do this, I'm afraid many inheritors from other races will prioritize giving materials to our team members, so that we can get a larger share," Purple Rain Venerable expressed his concern.
"It's alright, just consider it a way to benefit the team."
Lu Qingshan shook his head, unable to fix the bug. Of course, if some Special Lifeform were to cooperate with the Demon Race, he would have to make a note of it.
As for the biological materials from the Demon Race Territory, he certainly still wanted them.
His treatment would definitely tempt the Demon Race inheritors. They could easily entrust the inheritors of alliances like the Northern Territory Alliance and the Nine Domains Alliance with the contributions, and Lu Qingshan would turn a blind eye.
Moreover, a generous reward will surely attract brave men, and there will definitely be inheritors who are on good terms with the Demon Race race who will go to the Demon Race to search for these things.
