The Milky Way turns, and six thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Six thousand years in reality is equivalent to six thousand eras in the Time Temple.
Ancestral God Religion, Xue You Continent.
Within the magnificent palace, the Xue You Clone slowly opened its eyes, its consciousness detaching from the enormous scroll imbued with an aura of destruction.
He let out a long sigh.
Have we reached our limit again?
A long time ago, his limit was the 67th floor, and it took him a long time to break through it. This time, his limit is stuck at the 89th floor. He has tried countless times, but he still can't break through this barrier.
"Compared to six thousand years ago, my will has improved significantly. Many established Universe Master today may not even be as strong as me!"
Lu Qingshan could clearly feel the changes in himself.
If his will was only at a relatively low level among the Universe Master before he obtained the Destruction Demon Diagram, it is now extremely powerful. To put it more directly, it was previously at a level of 20 or 30, but now it is probably at a level of 80 or 90. If he were not stuck at this level of 89, he might soon reach the limit of the Universe Master.
Lu Qingshan's gaze fell once again on the black painting, which exuded an aura of destruction.
If his guess is correct, the first hundred levels of this Destruction Demon Diagram are roughly the realm of Universe Master, the hundredth level is the true limit of Universe Master, and if it exceeds the hundredth level, the 101st level is the world of the Universe Supreme Master, that is, True God.
This Destruction Demon Diagram has a total of 1001 layers!
If each level is one hundred floors, then Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, shook his head, and rejected his idea.
The Destruction Demon Diagram only offers a thousandfold return, not quite reaching that level. It's estimated that the first hundred levels are just the beginning, since the Universe Master is still not an adult in the Origin Continent.
Further on, it shouldn't be one level per hundred levels. As for how many levels there are, only he can know after he reaches that level and experiences it for himself.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand, put away the scroll of destruction, and then left the Time Temple.
Having honed his will for six thousand epochs, even he felt somewhat exhausted and needed to go out to relax and recuperate.
Six thousand years have passed in the outside world— Luo Feng should be close to success by now!
After leaving the Time Temple, Lu Qingshan glanced in the direction of the Star Tower.
Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, Mainland China.
A Ape-man Race with golden fur on his face appeared in Lu Qingshan's manor.
The Ape-man Race warrior bowed to Lu Qingshan, who was leisurely sipping his wine.
"Greetings, teacher."
" Zhen Yan —what brings you here today?"
Lu Qingshan put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.
"Teacher is truly insightful; he knew right away that something was wrong with his disciple." Venerable Zhen Yan quickly walked up to his teacher. "Teacher—I wanted to ask about Junior Brother Luo Feng. We haven't heard from him for years, and his family is quite worried about him. They even went to the Bloodthirsty King to inquire about his whereabouts—but the Bloodthirsty King doesn't know anything about these things, so he came to me for help."
The Bloodthirsty King is Luo Feng's mentor and also the strongest member of the Myriad Laws Lineage that Xu Xin, Luo Hua, and others from the Earth Lineage can contact.
Although Luo Feng had sent a message to his family a long time ago, saying that he was doing something very important, six thousand years have passed and no news has come back, which naturally makes his family very worried and they have no choice but to inquire with the Bloodthirsty King.
" Luo Feng is fine; he should show up soon."
Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"That's great!" Venerable Zhen Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Among his teacher's many disciples, he had a good relationship with Luo Feng. This little guy followed the Nine Universe Lineage like him and had an amazing talent for Law of Space. Zhen Yan had even personally guided this junior brother before.
The sudden disappearance of a World Lord whose total age was only a few thousand years old for six thousand years gave Venerable Zhen Yan a bad feeling.
"Teacher, I'll tell Luo Feng's family right away that he's alright—they must be very worried."
"Can."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Soon, Venerable Zhen Yan informed his disciple, Bloodthirsty King Bloodthirsty King, who would then pass the message on to Luo Feng's family.
After he delivered the message, he discovered that his teacher had taken out a treasure that resembled a crystal rhombus.
" Yuxiang?"
Venerable Zhen Yan said in surprise.
After becoming the Universe Overlord, his browsing privileges were greatly enhanced, and he even saw this High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure in the Race Treasury.
"Hmm----" Lu Qingshan nodded, then continued, "Your strength has improved too quickly recently, but your willpower is still a bit lacking. Facing powerful Universe Overlord, your soul defense remains your weakness. You should accept this High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure Yuxiang, Yu Xiang----"
"Teacher—this—this!!"
Venerable Zhen Yan was at a loss for words.
He knew Yuxiang's name, and naturally he also knew the price of this treasure, which was worth 620 Supreme Treasure Point.
Don't let his current status as the Universe Overlord you; even if you sold him, you probably couldn't afford this High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure. It's a precious artifact used only by the Universe Master.
"What, you're afraid to accept?"
A faint smile flashed across Lu Qingshan's face as he teased.
Venerable Zhen Yan naturally knew his teacher's temper. He took a breath and forced himself to calm down before saying, "Teacher, I dare not go out and take risks now. If the enemy finds out that I have these treasures, I'm afraid those Top Universe Overlord, or even Universe Master, will not be able to resist attacking me."
"If you don't show it off everywhere, no one else will know."
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
The treasures he bestowed upon Zhen Yan were indeed excessive; even he himself wouldn't have been willing to part with them if they weren't a cheat code.
"This disciple certainly wouldn't dare to boast. My teacher has bestowed upon me this High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure; what should I do with the Ordinary Soul Defense Supreme Treasure I had before?"
Venerable Zhen Yan took out the Ordinary Soul Defense Supreme Treasure that had been bestowed upon him earlier. Don't underestimate this thing just because it's only of ordinary level; its value is still incredibly high, far surpassing that of any weapon or armor.
"Keep it! It's best to keep it in your residence in Chaos City, so it will never be lost."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Since Venerable Zhen Yan has no Clone, he cannot use two Soul Defense Supreme Treasure simultaneously. The one he replaced was left in Chaos City. In case he dies in the future, it can be used as the price for resurrection. He doesn't need to worry about being burdened with debts. After all, he is already Universe Overlord and has a Supreme Treasure that far exceed his capabilities. The price of resurrection is much higher than that of the previous Ganwu Country Lord.
Lu Qingshan was still wondering why he suddenly had such a thought.
Venerable Zhen Yan chuckled and said, "Disciple has followed Master's advice and placed all the treasures I've taken off in Chaos City. However, with all these Supreme Treasure I possess now, how could I possibly die?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow slightly.
You shouldn't go out and explore the world anytime soon.
"Teacher?"
Venerable Zhen Yan was somewhat puzzled.
Lu Qingshan continued, "I gave you a Time House Time House, so go inside and study the Ultimate Secret Technique the Universe Overlord. Don't go anywhere until you've finished studying it."
Although Venerable Zhen Yan didn't understand, he had already gained a wealth of experience as a recluse during his King Rank stage, so he dared not disobey his teacher's wishes. He nodded and said, "Then this disciple will cultivate in seclusion in the manor on the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. If there are any questions, it will be convenient to ask the teacher."
Zhen Yan's manor is right next to Lu Qingshan's —it's certainly much more convenient to cultivate here and visit one's teacher.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
As long as Zhen Yan doesn't go out and wander around during this time, he doesn't care what he does.
Among the Ganwu Lineage, apart from Lu Qingshan himself, only Zhen Yan, a powerhouse above the Universe Venerable, has never perished. Zhen Yan's words just now made him wary.
After Venerable Zhen Yan took his leave, Lu Qingshan also checked the returned message.
[You have bestowed upon your disciple Venerable Zhen Yan, the Yuxiang of High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure Xiang, and received a thousandfold return. You have obtained the Top-Tier Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, Blood Soul Crystal.]
Hearing the name "cashback," Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
This time it's not beads after all.
With this Top-Tier Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, his Human Main Body no longer needed to worry about soul defense.
During his time Universe Overlord, he was able to withstand the soul illusions of the Void True Demon God by relying on the will of the Universe Master, a high-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, and a secret Soul Palace.
Now, honed by the Destruction Demon Diagram, his will has far surpassed what it once was, reaching an extremely strong level even among the Universe Master. Furthermore, he now possesses Top-Tier Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, so there is naturally even less to worry about.
Faraway Earth, Pinghai Company's headquarters.
Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, Luo Hua —the whole family gathered together, looking at Xu Xin with some nervousness.
A moment later.
Seeing that Xu Xin seemed to have finished communicating in the Virtual Universe, Gong Xinlan couldn't wait to ask.
"Honey, Xiao Feng alright?"
"Mom—" A look of relief flashed in Xu Xin's eyes as she said, " The Bloodthirsty King just sent word that his teacher, who is also Luo Feng's senior brother Venerable Zhen Yan, personally inquired with the great Lord of Myriad Laws — the Lord of Myriad Laws said that Xiao Feng is alright and will return soon."
" Xiao Feng is alright, that's wonderful! That child—I hadn't heard from him for so many years, I was so worried about him."
--
Gong Xinlan patted her chest, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
"I knew Xiao Feng would be alright."
Luo Hongguo also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, my brother is alright. Over the years, our Luo Family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and countless people are envious. If something had happened to my brother, those people would be the happiest. Although they wouldn't dare to openly target us, they would definitely have many underhanded schemes behind our backs."
Luo Hua adjusted his glasses.
"That's right!" Luo Ping added, "My father has been out of contact for only six thousand years, and some people have already started testing us."
Xu Xin nodded, looked at her eldest son, and said, "If they want to test us, let them test us. We'll back down as they advance—if they ask for one point, we'll be generous and give them ten—when your father comes back, no matter how much they've eaten, they'll have to pay it back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"
"Mom, don't worry, I know what to do. Over the years, our Pinghai Company has never relied on Dad's power to do anything, but people have looked down on us. If we don't make these Vulture spit blood, I'm afraid everyone will think that the Luo Family is easy to bully!"
Luo Ping's expression was calm, but his tone carried a sense of decisiveness.
When the news of Luo Feng's safety arrived, the Luo Family was overjoyed and no longer worried, so they acted without any concerns.
The Outer Domain Battlefield, within the Star Tower of the Seventh Battlefield.
The crystal bead suspended in the air suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then slowly merged into Luo Feng Feng's Human Main Body body.
"Finally—we succeeded—"
Luo Feng felt no surprise, for he had already reached his limit. After the crystal bead merged into his body, he could no longer withstand the exhaustion that came from the depths of his soul and collapsed to the ground.
"Asleep? Good, he's been too tired and in too much pain these past few years, he deserves a good rest."
Puti, who had been watching Luo Feng's recognition of his master from the side, also had a hint of admiration and shock in his eyes.
He was shocked by Luo Feng's will and character.
Countless times, even he thought Luo Feng would definitely fail, but he persevered time and time again, creating this incredible achievement, enduring for six thousand years before finally successfully recognizing the Star Tower as its master.
Puti asked himself if he could have done this if he were at the World Lord Level. The answer was clear: absolutely not!
"Perhaps this is the kind of disciple a teacher truly needs."
Puti looked up.
A towering figure with a pair of transparent horns on its forehead appeared in the palace.
Puti stepped forward and quickly bowed, his eyes filled with respect and excitement.
"Teacher—my junior brother succeeded."
