As he spoke, Longjing Venerable carefully took out something wrapped in a piece of golden silk.
It's square, like a wooden board or a stone tablet.
Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone glanced at it and discovered that the silk cloth could actually block his consciousness from probing, making it impossible to see what was inside.
What is this?
Lu Qingshan asked.
Longjing Venerable shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Our Hongmeng Alliance's Palace Master specifically reminded me that I cannot Buna before seeing Demon Master Xue You."
Looking at what he had taken out, a hint of curiosity flashed in Longjing Venerable's eyes.
Seeing that even the Longjing Venerable didn't know what it was, Lu Qingshan flicked his hand and opened the silk cloth.
Encased inside was an ancient, dark stone tablet.
It is about nine feet tall and three feet wide, and its material does not resemble Stone or metal.
The monument has no text, only countless pale silver star charts, with countless star regions arranged irregularly, yet it gives people a feeling of loneliness and desolation.
this----
The Longjing Venerable glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly.
He quickly severed the connection with his consciousness.
As his consciousness probed the stone tablet, he felt as if he were sinking into the depths of Endless, desolate starry sky, and all his distracting thoughts, desires, and everything else vanished.
What is this?
"I Longjing Venerable asked in surprise.
"It should be a treasure for tempering one's will. Once one's consciousness enters it, one will be plunged into Endless solitude. In just a moment, millions of epochs will have passed. As long as one persists for a while, one can temper one's will."
Lu Qingshan explained.
When the Longjing Venerable was observing, he had also experienced it, but his will was at the level of Universe Master, so he could easily break free from it, while the Longjing Venerable could only forcibly give up that wisp of consciousness.
"Brother Longjing, thank you very much. I really like this gift from your Hongmeng Alliance."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
This gift was very appropriate and timely.
He's progressing too fast; his willpower will definitely struggle to keep up with his increasing strength.
The Hongmeng Alliance sent such a gift, which can be described as a timely help. Lu Qingshan knew that this must be related to the Chaos City Lord.
Treasures for strengthening willpower are still very rare and precious.
Although powerful Universe Master can train their will at the Black Pattern Stone Pillar of the Universe Boat, there are ultimately those who cannot go to the Universe Boat.
"Brother Xue You, I'm glad you like it. You really gave me a fright just now."
Longjing Venerable let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. He had felt unable to break free of his consciousness and even had a moment of doubt.
He suspected that the Lord of the Hongmeng Alliance might be using him to deal with the Demon Master Xue You.
"Brother Longjing, you've come all this way to bring me this treasure. I don't know how to thank you enough, so how about I give you some Glory Points?"
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Oh, no, no." Longjing Venerable quickly waved his hand and said, " The Supreme Treasure you gave me last time was too precious. I didn't know how to repay you, so how could I accept anything from you again? Besides, this time—if I hadn't come to give you a gift, Brother Xue You, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come to the Ancestral God Religion to receive the inheritance. My Inheritance Token this time is brand new, and I can receive the inheritance for free once. Moreover, I've recently earned some money, and I can afford to buy more with Glory Points."
Hearing what Longjing Venerable said, Lu Qingshan didn't insist on giving him anything. He put away the black stone tablet and took out some fine wine and food.
After he had eaten and drunk his fill, Longjing Venerable finally got up and left.
After he left, Lu Qingshan took out the black stone tablet again.
He used his access to the Ancestral God Religion to search and learned that the stone tablet was called the Wuwang Star Stele.
It was discovered on the Universe Boat; there were hundreds of them discovered together, so it's not surprising that the Hongmeng Alliance got one.
Wuwang Star Stele!
Lu Qingshan guessed that it must be a treasure used by the lowest-ranking soldiers of Ancient Civilization to hone their will.
After all, those Bloodline School become True God upon reaching adulthood—and even True God might not have a will as strong as the Yan Emperor.
This necessitates the use of certain treasures to strengthen one's will; these items are more like standardized products.
The limit of the Wuwang Star Stele for training willpower is the True God Level —once willpower breaks through to the True God level, it basically has no effect. This thing still has a considerable use for him!
After all, his current will is only at the initial stage of the Universe Master level. His strength has improved too quickly, and it is already absurd that his will can barely keep up.
"This Wuwang Star Stele is good, but it's too slow at training willpower. Perhaps I could try my luck and see what good things I can get."
The bestowal of the Wuwang Star Stele has a high standard; only Universe Overlord can bestow it. Of his many disciples, only Bug Chasing Venerable and Venerable Zhen Yan meet the criteria. Venerable Zhen Yan is out of the question—after all, this treasure was nominally given to him, the Demon Master Xue You.
Lu Qingshan sent a message to his disciple, Bug Chasing Venerable.
Not long after.
The figure of the Bug Chasing Venerable appeared outside the palace.
Seeing the empty spaces on both sides of the gate, Bug Chasing Venerable was slightly surprised. When he came before, his teacher's servant, Mirror Venerable, had been guarding those areas.
He stepped inside.
"Greetings, teacher."
Bug Chasing Venerable bowed respectfully.
No need for formalities.
Lu Qingshan spoke slowly, then said, " The Hong Alliance just gave me a rather nice gift—"
"Teacher, what gift is it?"
" The Wuwang Star Stele is a treasure for tempering one's will. Although it is very rare, its effect on me is no longer significant."
As he spoke, Lu Qingshan flicked his hand, and the stone tablet wrapped in silk flew to the front of Bug Chasing Venerable.
"You've just broken through—your willpower hasn't yet reached the level of Universe Overlord. This stone tablet will be of great use to you; use it to train your willpower. It shouldn't be long before your willpower catches up with your strength."
The Bug Chasing Venerable looked at the stone tablet in front of him. From his teacher's description, he knew what a precious treasure it was.
"Teacher, this is a gift from the Hongmeng Alliance to you."
"Indeed, so you shouldn't show it off. Focus on improving your willpower as soon as possible, and I'll help you Creation Secret Technique."
Becoming Top Universe Overlord is not far off for you.
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher."
Bug Chasing Venerable bowed and put away the Wuwang Star Stele.
His strength is not bad, but his willpower is still far behind. Although he has High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure to protect his soul, if he wants to become Top Universe Overlord, his willpower cannot hold him back.
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded, then took out a gray stone disc and said, "This is your elder brother, Purple Rain Venerable's, Sealing Supreme Treasure. I haven't had time to go to the Purple Rain Continent recently, so please take it to him for me."
"Yes, teacher, I understand."
Bug Chasing Venerable then took the treasure back.
"You go first."
"This disciple takes his leave!"
After receiving a treasure as a gift, Bug Chasing Venerable turned and left, his heart filled with excitement but also a touch of trepidation.
The gift that Hongmeng Alliance gave to their teacher was given to him by the teacher, which shows how much the teacher values him—the teacher would probably be disappointed if he couldn't become Top Universe Overlord soon.
Bang!
The gates of the Xue You Palace slowly closed.
Lu Qingshan also checked the cashback he had received.
[You bestowed the Bug Chasing Venerable with the Wuwang Star Stele, granting him a thousandfold return; you also obtained the Destruction Demon Diagram.]
Destruction Demon Diagram?
He took the treasure out.
The so-called Destruction Demon Diagram resembled a giant black scroll, exuding an aura of destruction and death. There were clearly visible pale blue flame patterns around the scroll, but there was nothing on the scroll itself.
This thing----
Although the treasures returned by the Golden Finger have never had any flaws, Lu Qingshan still remained wary of things he didn't understand.
This is especially true when it involves things related to will and soul.
He created a Divine Power Avatar and completely severed its connection with his original body. The Divine Power Avatar contained only a tiny fraction of his consciousness.
Then, he used his Divine Power Avatar to sense the Destruction Demon Diagram.
Within his conscious perception.
The pattern, which appears to be a single unit, actually has a total of 1001 layers—and he can only access the first layer at the moment.
Enter!
Without a word, Lu Qingshan sent his Divine Power Avatar's consciousness into the first level. In his perception, his will seemed to have transformed into a lowly beast, a beast that, from birth, had suffered Endless calamities and inhuman torment—
His wisp of consciousness as an avatar lasted only half a day before completely dissipating.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
Even though it was only a wisp of consciousness experiencing it, Lu Qingshan still felt his scalp tingle. The terrible ordeal was ten thousand times more painful than any other ordeal he could imagine. And that strange beast, from birth, had always lived in such a world, having to endure it at all times. If it gave up, it would mean death.
"Thankfully, there shouldn't be any danger."
Lu Qingshan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Floor 1001.
It should be a continuous process of improvement.
The first level is definitely the weakest. Even the will of a novice Universe Master can withstand it. As long as one doesn't become greedy and reckless, and withdraws before reaching the absolute limit, there won't be a big problem.
Moreover, even if something goes wrong, only the consciousness of the Clone is lost, and it can still be restored with the help of treasures.
continue!!
This time, Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone also entered the Time Temple, and then once again entered the first level of the Destruction Demon Diagram.
This time, most of the Xue You Clone's consciousness entered the beast, so it was able to last longer. From the beast's birth to its death, it clearly experienced the entire process. The beast's feelings were its own feelings—it also fully experienced the beast's suffering.
After experiencing everything on the first level, access to the second level was also granted, and Lu Qingshan then entered the second level.
The third layer.
The fourth floor.
As his level of observation increased, his will also grew stronger.
Within the Time Temple, time itself had no meaning. Lu Qingshan had no idea how much time had passed, and soon he entered the 66th level of this Destruction Demon Diagram.
Upon reaching this point, he finally felt his limits—every ordeal on this level was, for him, a profound and agonizing experience.
The endless suffering could drive someone with a weak will to madness!
"Keep going, you're almost there, just a little bit more!"
Lu Qingshan continued to persevere.
Based on his experience of studying this Destruction Demon Diagram for so long, he knew it should be coming to an end soon.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
About ten seconds later, the enormous beast finally succumbed to the calamity and chose to give up, collapsing to the ground in death.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan was also freed.
Although he had gained access to the 67th floor, he did not enter it. At this moment, he was slumped in the Time Temple, exhausted from the fatigue of his soul, so much so that he did not even want to move.
I don't know how much time has passed.
--
Lu Qingshan slowly stood up, sensing the changes in himself.
"My willpower seems to have improved considerably."
At the level of the Universe Master, there is no clear division of will, but Lu Qingshan felt that his will was significantly stronger than before. If it was only three points before, it was probably six points now.
Although he is still far from the limit of the Universe Master, with this Destruction Demon Diagram, he probably no longer needs to worry about his will not be able to keep up with his strength!
