Spacetime Glazed Fruit.

Lu Qingshan was quite familiar with this name; he had seen the name of this treasure in the treasure register of the core treasury of the Human Race.

However, this treasure was out of stock, and he only knew its name.

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Qingshan grasped the fruit that grew in the extremely dangerous Liuzhong Mountain.

The fruit is only the size of a fist, crystal clear, not a regular circle, but more like an oval. When held in the hand, it has little fleshy texture, like a solidified elixir of Time-Space and space. On its skin, two Immortal rays of light intertwine, as if they were the embodiment of the Law of Space.

He naturally understood the benefits of the fruit.

It is of great help to cultivators who comprehend the Space-Time Law, and even has a significant effect on the Universe Master. If it were used by ordinary people, it would be even more extraordinary. A single fruit could create a peerless genius that appears only once every tens of millions of eras.

Of course, this genius refers only to talent, that is, the affinity with the Space-Time Law, not comprehension. If one's comprehension is also good, there is a great chance of becoming Universe Venerable. If one's comprehension is average, the highest achievement one can attain is probably something like the Heavenly Feather King.

Upon obtaining the fruit, Lu Qingshan did not consider giving it to any disciple; instead, he thought of the Ganwu Country Lord.

The master of the Ganwu Country Lord —has already comprehended the Law of Space, and it's estimated that he has also nearly grasped the Time Law. Although he was only High Venerable before, that was due to the limitations of secret techniques, Gene Multiplier, treasures, and divine bodies, not because his Law Comprehension was lagging behind.

After all, he became Universe Venerable in the Primal Ancestor Era, so it's impossible that he lacked talent. Over the years, he has been comprehending the laws—and he has been following the path of the Space-Time Law, so naturally the gap couldn't be too large.

This Spacetime Glazed Fruit should be of great help to the teacher.

Moreover, this thing already existed in the Universe Ocean, so he could take it out at will.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and directly Divine Kingdom Teleportation to the Ganwu Mystic Region from his divine kingdom.

Inside the luxurious palace of the Ganwu Mystic Region.

A handsome man dressed in magnificent battle armor knelt with his head buried deep in the ground.

"Idiot!!"

A reprimand came from above.

The handsome man kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, not daring to raise his head at all.

"You worthless piece of trash! The resources I gave you were enough for an Immortal God to break through to the Peak King, but you—look at you! You haven't even achieved a basic understanding of the Law of Space, you're not even a Marquis! What have you been doing lately?!"

"Father—your son has been diligently cultivating recently, and the Third Divine General can testify on his behalf."

The handsome man said in a trembling voice.

"You've been cultivating diligently, but what have you achieved? I'm starting to doubt if you're even my son. In this Ganwu Mystic Region, any Immortal God could break through to the King Rank with just the resources I gave them! You idiot!!"

"Father, please calm your anger. Your son will definitely strive to comprehend the Law of Space in the future."

On the throne, the Ganwu Country Lord looked at his son.

His chest heaved.

Recently, he and Longjing Venerable made a small fortune, and then he thought of his good-for-nothing son. So, at the Hongmeng Alliance Auction, he specially auctioned several valuable treasures for him. Those treasures were enough for a genius to break through to the Peak King the King-level. He originally thought that even if his son was not good enough, becoming Marquis would be a piece of cake. But he didn't expect that after using all the treasures, his son was only at the Immortal Army Lord Peak, and had not even reached the minimum Law Comprehension required to become a Marquis.

How could he not be angry?

He felt that all those precious treasures he had bought had been wasted, things he had never dared to spend casually before.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

The handsome man kneeling on the ground didn't dare to breathe.

However, at that moment, a figure dressed in a blue robe appeared in the palace.

"Teacher, why are you so angry?"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and said.

" Qingshan, you've come!"

The Ganwu Country Lord's eyes lit up. He stood up and looked at his disciple, Lu Qingshan. He felt somewhat comforted. Although his son was foolish, he was fortunate to have a genius disciple.

"Senior Brother Qingshan, save me!"

The Seventh Prince, kneeling to the side, secretly sent a telepathic message for help.

Lu Qingshan glanced at him but did not respond. Instead, he continued speaking to the Ganwu Country Lord.

"This disciple just came from the Maple Leaf Empire, intending to visit Master, when I heard Master throwing a tantrum."

" Qingshan, you have no idea—this guy is such a disappointment. I auctioned off so many precious treasures for him at the Hongmeng Alliance Auction House. Anyone with a bit more talent would have broken through to the Peak King by now, but he hasn't even reached the Marquis."

The Ganwu Country Lord pointed at the Seventh Prince and said with a look of disappointment and frustration.

" Little Seven's talent is only average and cannot be compared with others—I think he is only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Marquis. I can help guide him a bit, and perhaps he can break through."

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Get up."

The Ganwu Country Lord let out a muffled groan.

The Seventh Prince slowly stood up, his gaze towards Lu Qingshan now filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for the powerful Senior Brother Qingshan coming to his rescue, he doesn't know how many more times he would have been scolded. Perhaps his father, in a fit of anger, would have found a pretext to lock him up in the interstellar prison. Although he has restrained himself somewhat in recent years, he has done quite a few things that violated the rules of the Universe Country.

"You should thank your Senior Brother Qingshan!" the Ganwu Country Lord scolded.

"Thank you, senior!"

The Seventh Prince quickly bowed.

Lu Qingshan raised his hand, and a divine force prevented the Seventh Prince from bowing. He said, " Little Seven, what doubts do you have? Tell me, and I'll take a look."

"Confused? This—"

The Seventh Prince thought for a while, then stammered, unsure how to answer.

Seeing that the Ganwu Country Lord was about to get angry again, Lu Qingshan said once more, "Then show me the Law of Space you have mastered."

"That's easy."

The Seventh Prince immediately demonstrated his mastery of Law of Space.

With his talent, it was impossible for him to take the route of analyzing the Law Essence. The laws he mastered were even more chaotic, a complete mess, some profound and some simple. The key point was that he had mastered some of the profound parts, but had missed the simple and simple parts.

No wonder even he himself didn't know where the problem lay; the fact that he could become Immortal God was itself a problem.

The Ganwu Country Lord had originally wanted to see his son's recent gains, but after only a few glances, he turned away, not wanting to look any longer.

To be able to cultivate one's Law Comprehension to this extent with complete guidance is something that probably no one but one's own son could achieve—even those Immortal God who didn't have secret methods for cultivating the Law of Space and relied on their own intuition probably didn't manage to do it in such a chaotic way.

After a long while, the Seventh Prince finally finished demonstrating his Space Origin Law. Lu Qingshan remained silent for a moment. Fortunately, he was a relatively excellent teacher and possessed his own professional qualities.

He said, "You have mastered quite a few laws, but there are some errors and omissions that prevent you from comprehending any small branch of the Law of Space. This is easy to solve; just pay close attention."

Lu Qingshan slightly raised his hand, and at his fingertips, an aura of Law of Space was constantly shifting.

This is the process by which he optimized and deduced the Law of Space mastered by the Seventh Prince, and finally successfully comprehended the process of Space Travel.

A perfect standard answer was right in front of him, and it was based on the laws that the Seventh Prince had mastered, so there was no possibility that he couldn't understand it at all.

"Did you understand?"

After demonstrating it once, Lu Qingshan asked.

However, seeing that the Seventh Prince still had a blank and bewildered expression, Lu Qingshan knew that he had just wasted his time.

It's truly a miracle that the Seventh Prince could become Immortal God!

Lu Qingshan had never seen such a foolish disciple in all his years of teaching, but to save face for the Ganwu Country Lord, he suppressed the urge to scold him.

He took out a Snow Demon Flower.

Crystal-clear flowers bloomed, and countless strange substances, under Lu Qingshan's manipulation, were completely absorbed by the Seventh Prince's divine body.

Then he demonstrated it again.

This time, the Seventh Prince finally understood—his eyes changed from confusion to an expression of realization.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan finished his second demonstration. With the help of his comprehension, the Seventh Prince was able to learn along with him. Before long, an aura of law condensed above the palace, and then a faint spatial imprint appeared between the Seventh Prince's eyebrows.

After gaining initial recognition from the Law of Space, the Seventh Prince was overjoyed; he had never imagined he would have the chance to become Marquis Immortal God.

He quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Qingshan."

"Yes, next, don't slack off. Focus on transforming your Undying Body, and then you can truly Marquis Immortal God."

" Little Seven understands."

Although the Seventh Prince's aptitude for cultivation was lacking, his attitude was acceptable.

Seeing his son break through, the Ganwu Country Lord showed no joy whatsoever. He seemed to want to avoid seeing his son any longer. With a wave of his hand, he said, " Ganwu Tower to obtain materials for condensing an Undying Body, and then go into seclusion. You are not allowed to leave the Ganwu Mystic Region before you have condensed Undying Body."

"Father, Senior Brother, I'll take Little Seven leave."

The Seventh Prince bowed again, then slowly walked out of the palace.

After he left, the Ganwu Country Lord sighed, " Qingshan, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"It's truly remarkable that the teacher was able to cultivate Little Seven into an Immortal God." Lu Qingshan admired the Ganwu Country Lord somewhat. He must have invested a great deal of effort before he completely lost hope in this son in his early years.

"There's no other way. I don't expect him to inherit my mantle, but I still need one of my children to stay by my side. Of all my children, he's the only one who barely has any hope of becoming Immortal."

The Ganwu Country Lord seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and stopped talking about the matter. He smiled and said, " Qingshan, you're a few days late. The Longjing just went to the Ancestral God Religion. Otherwise, the three of us, master and disciple, could have had a few drinks together."

"No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. This time, I came here by chance to acquire a treasure, which I brought to show you, Master."

Lu Qingshan followed the Ganwu Country Lord to the side and sat down.

"Oh, what treasure?"

The Ganwu Country Lord was somewhat curious.

"Teacher, please look."

Lu Qingshan raised his hand and took out the Spacetime Glazed Fruit.

A crystal-clear, oval-shaped fruit gently floated to the front of the Ganwu Country Lord. The Ganwu Country Lord examined it carefully and then revealed a hint of surprise.

" Spacetime Glazed Fruit?"

He said it somewhat uncertainly.

"Does the teacher know you?"

"Yes, I heard Ancestor Tree Venerable mention before that the Giant Axe Founder bestowed upon him one of these fruits."

Although the Ruwu Country Lord does not yet have the authority to access the treasures of the Universe Ocean, he has extensive connections and can still learn about them from others. He knows about the Universe Ocean Universe Ocean and some of its treasures.

"Teacher, since you know the name of this fruit, you should also know its uses. Why don't you try it and see how it goes?"

Lu Qingshan spoke.

The Ruwu Country Lord's expression shifted slightly, then she shook her head and said, " Qingshan, this Spacetime Glazed Fruit —just one fruit can create a genius capable of comprehending the laws of Space-Time Law. It would be a waste for me to use it—you can use it to cultivate your descendants."

The Ruwu Country Lord was well aware of the treasure's value. Had he possessed it, he might have chosen a child with a better temperament to raise.

" Lingxiao has already been granted the Marquis Immortal; this disciple is content. As for his other descendants, this disciple will not force them to become geniuses. Otherwise, this disciple has no intention of getting involved."

Given Lu Qingshan's status, he doesn't need to do anything. His descendants are all well-off. If they are geniuses, they will stand out on their own, and Lu Qingshan will provide some assistance. However, he will not cultivate others into geniuses in the same way he cultivated Lu Lingxiao.

His descendants are too numerous—their numbers are beyond the trillions—there are only a handful even among Sun Wu's descendants. Perhaps they will be a hundred or a thousand generations from now. Those descendants are already fortunate enough to enjoy the benefits of the Lu Family; he will not give them any extra preferential treatment.

"But----"

The Ruwu Country Lord was still hesitating.

"Master, your disciple is already the Universe Master! These treasures are meaningless to your disciple. Your disciple will only be happy if you can make progress."

Lu Qingshan continued to persuade him.

"Sigh, very well, I will not let your kindness go to waste."

The Ruwu Country Lord was deeply moved. He did not refuse any longer and swallowed the Spacetime Glazed Fruit in front of his disciples.

The crystal-clear fruit melts in your mouth, not as ordinary juice, but as two transparent, intertwined beams of light.

A long river of time flowing like the ancient times, a spatial dimension that extends Endless.

Two beams of light merged into his divine body in an instant.

The Ruwu Country Lord trembled slightly.

He instinctively closed his eyes, and his aura began to become ethereal and uncertain.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan gently raised his hand, using his divine power to completely Space Lock the palace, then retreated to the side and waited quietly.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The Ruwu Country Lord sat cross-legged, her red robe rippled with Time Law fluctuations like a galaxy. At first, they only flickered occasionally, but gradually, the fluctuations became more and more intense, rising and falling like tides.

Lu Qingshan looked slightly surprised.

He could clearly sense that the teacher's aura was undergoing a subtle change.

It was the feeling of finally finding a breakthrough after countless years of accumulation.

"The teacher has been stuck at a bottleneck for far too long."

Lu Qingshan thought to himself.

Since the Primal Ancestor Era, the Ruwu Country Lord has been Universe Venerable, and has lived to this day.

Living is itself a form of accumulation.

But if accumulation cannot be transformed into a breakthrough, it is merely a pile of years.

The Ruwu Country Lord's talent is not among the top of the Universe Venerable; otherwise, she wouldn't have needed the help of her disciples to become Universe Overlord.

He took countless risks in an attempt to break through his own limitations by facing life-or-death crises, but unexpectedly, after falling four times, he still did not improve in the slightest.

To this day.

The power of the Spacetime Glazed Fruit is gradually sublimating his scattered accumulations over countless years.

Those fragments of the Time Law that he had vaguely sensed but could not integrate were now being woven into a complete net, as if drawn by invisible threads.

After a long while, the aura surrounding the Ganwu Country Lord suddenly erupted.

A powerful Time-Space fluctuation swept out from his body!

The energy surged through the palace, but was blocked by Lu Qingshan's divine power, and the rotten fork spilled out.

The Ruwu Country Lord opened her eyes.

Countless Space-Time Law flickered deep within his eyes, before returning to calm after a moment.

"Teacher?"

Lu Qingshan spoke softly.

The Ruwu Country Lord breathed a sigh of relief.

"My understanding of the Time Law has broken through."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

Congratulations, teacher.

The Ruwu Country Lord looked at her disciple, her eyes filled with satisfaction and a hint of indescribable emotion.

" Qingshan, I will remember this kindness."

Lu Qingshan shook his head and said, "Teacher, you flatter me. I wouldn't be where I am today without your protection back then. Now that I have some ability, it's only right that I do something for you."

Upon hearing this, the Ruwu Country Lord burst into laughter.

Amidst his laughter, the pent-up frustration that had been building up between his brows for countless years seemed to finally dissipate somewhat.

He exclaimed excitedly, "The best thing I, Ruwu, ever did was to take you as my disciple!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Teacher's breakthrough this time brings us closer to becoming the Universe Master— "

"Still missing a few words."

The Ruwu Country Lord waved her hand, but there was no disappointment in her eyes. Instead, there was a glimmer of hope she had never seen before. "However, I have seen a glimmer of hope."

Previously, the Universe Master was something he couldn't see or touch, merely a fantasy. But now, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

"Our teacher has accumulated profound knowledge, and now he has made a breakthrough in the Time Law. As long as we continue on this path, he will surely reach the level of Universe Master. At that time, both master and disciple will be Universe Master, and it will be a legendary tale."

Both master and disciple are Universe Master.

Upon hearing this, the Ruwu Country Lord felt a renewed sense of motivation.
