Two figures arrived together in the Ganwu Mystic Region.
One of them, with purple skin and a silver head, was Venerable Mei, an old friend of Ganwu and a Alien Race of the Hongmeng Alliance.
When the Ganwu Country Lord was down on his luck, Venerable Mei had helped him by lending him a lot of True Treasure Points. After the Ganwu Country Lord fell last time, Lu Qingshan helped his teacher pay off these debts.
The other one has a large, round head that takes up almost half the size of its body, but it looks very harmonious. Its expression is gentle, giving people a sense of honesty and reliability.
" Venerable Mei, have we informed the Ganwu Country Lord of our arrival?"
"It's a cosmic being with a huge head," the venerable one asked.
"Rest assured, Venerable Great Wisdom, I have already informed the Ganwu Country Lord of my impending visit. However, I can only introduce you two to each other; as for the follow-up matters—"
Venerable Mei found this difficult.
"There's no need for Venerable Mei to trouble yourself with the aftermath; I will handle it myself. As long as we meet with the Ganwu Country Lord, three eras from now, one of your juniors Divine General Inheritance inheritance in our Thorn Ring Alliance."
The Venerable Great Wisdom wore a smile.
Thank you so much.
Venerable Mei nodded; he had only met this Venerable Great Wisdom a few times before. This time, the other party approached him, promising benefits and asking him to introduce him to the Ganwu Country Lord. He originally intended to refuse, but the other party offered the Divine General Inheritance quota from that time. For the sake of his descendants, and knowing that the other party was only there to apologize, he agreed.
The two had just entered the Ganwu Mystic Region when the avatar of the Ganwu Country Lord flew over.
"Brother Mei, it's been a long time!"
" Ganwu Country Lord, I heard you've become quite successful lately. I thought you'd forgotten about your old friend."
Venerable Mei smiled broadly.
"How could that be—you're one of my few good friends in the Hongmeng Alliance. And this gentleman—aren't you going to introduce him?"
The Ganwu Country Lord looked at the Great-Headed Universe Venerable beside him.
" The Venerable Great Wisdom of the Thorn Ring Alliance."
Venerable Mei explained.
Hearing that the other party was from the Thorn Ring Alliance, the Ganwu Country Lord was not surprised. Venerable Mei had already told him beforehand, and he was just pretending to ask.
"Greetings, Ganwu Venerable —My name is Great Wisdom, and my teacher is the Lord of Cold Thorn."
The Venerable Great Wisdom was extremely respectful.
He was also High Universe Venerable, and in theory, his status was not much different from that of the Ganwu Country Lord. However, he seemed to regard the Ganwu as an elder.
"So he's a disciple of the Lord of Cold Thorn."
The Ganwu Country Lord spoke with a hint of surprise.
That Lord of Cold Thorn, isn't he the same Universe Master who nearly caused his demise on the Primal Star, and who was then driven away by his disciple Lu Qingshan?
" Your Ganwu Country Lord, my master asked me to convey that my attack on you was a misunderstanding. My master has been in seclusion for many years, only emerging to search for treasures on the Primal Star Primal Star opening. Therefore, he is not very familiar with many recent developments in the Primal Universe and did not know that Your Ganwu Country Lord is the teacher of the Lord of Myriad Laws. Otherwise, my master would certainly not have attacked you."
The Venerable Great Wisdom bowed and said, "Therefore, I have come today on behalf of my master to apologize to the Ganwu Country Lord. I ask that the Ganwu Country Lord accept my apology, which is a small token of my master's appreciation."
As he spoke, he took out a storage arm guard.
"This----"
The Ganwu Country Lord had guessed it might be because of what happened on the Primal Star, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so humble, not only apologizing but also offering a gift—which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
The competition on the Primal Star was inherently fair and just. If one side was stronger than the other, there was no right or wrong—if a Universe Venerable from the Thorn Ring Alliance obtained Supreme Treasure, he would also fight for it; this was perfectly normal.
Moreover, the opponent is a Universe Master!
That was him, Ganwu, an existence that was once—no—even now, unattainable.
"My disciple's power is truly renowned throughout the universe!"
The Ganwu Country Lord naturally knew why.
If it weren't for his own disciple, the Lord of Myriad Laws, he wouldn't be qualified to send a direct disciple of the Lord of the Universe to pay respects and offer apologies.
Venerable Mei, who was standing to the side, was also surprised.
Although he himself was also adventuring on the Primal Star, he was unaware of what had happened to the Ganwu. He originally thought it was a feud between the Venerable Great Wisdom and the Ganwu Country Lord, but he never expected that the Venerable Great Wisdom was actually representing his teacher, a Universe Master from the Thorn Ring Alliance, to apologize.
The Ganwu's influence is truly outrageous!
Venerable Mei knew that the Ganwu had become successful, but he didn't expect it to have reached this level of prestige.
He felt both excited and a little sad.
Not long ago, the Ganwu Country Lord was even more destitute than him and had to borrow money from him. Unexpectedly, he has risen to a high position so quickly that even the Universe Master has to give him face.
When will Venerable Mei be able to stand up to the Ganwu like this?
" Venerable Great Wisdom, I wasn't particularly concerned about what happened on the Primal Star. I'll speak to Qingshan about it later—as for the gift, I'll accept it."
The Ganwu Country Lord did not refuse the gift.
If the other party comes to apologize but can't give a gift, I'll feel even more uneasy.
Moreover, a gift from a Universe Master must be quite valuable, so the Ganwu Country Lord did not stand on ceremony.
After accepting the storage arm guard, the Ganwu Country Lord invited the two inside.
"Let's go to my palace. I've already had fine wine and food prepared. Let's have a few more drinks together!"
" Ganwu, this time I'll sacrifice this avatar to accompany you!"
"Thank you for your hospitality Ganwu Country Lord."
Primal Star No. 9427, the Sword Family!
The three Ganwu Country Lord remained by the Jian family's side for a long time, but unfortunately, no other treasures appeared here after the compass was created.
" Ganwu, what does Venerable Mei want with you? Does he also want to join our group?"
The Venerable Beiming asked with a smile.
"No, Venerable Mei isn't blind; he naturally wouldn't cut in line. His Ganwu Universe Country is with the Venerable Great Wisdom of the Thorn Ring Alliance— "
The Ganwu Country Lord recounted what had just happened.
After hearing this, Venerable Beiming and Venerable Lei Ming were both amazed.
"A Universe Master, unaware of the situation, attacked you, and afterwards actually sent his disciple to personally apologize and offer gifts— Ganwu, you really are something else!!"
The Venerable Beiming was at a loss for words. He felt that inviting the Ganwu Country Lord to join the team was absolutely the right choice.
Venerable Lei Ming was also somewhat excited. "Although the probability of encountering Universe Master on the Primal Star is very small, after this incident, I'm afraid that even if we encounter Universe Master, he won't attack us."
"This is all thanks to Qingshan; these powerful individuals are only doing it because of Qingshan's influence."
The Ganwu Country Lord sighed.
Unbeknownst to him, his disciple had grown to such a level.
"It seems that the Lord of Myriad Laws ' power is even stronger than we imagined."
"Perhaps those Universe Master know some inside information that we don't."
"Regardless, we've benefited from this; it will definitely be easier for us to explore the Primal Star in the future."
The Ganwu Country Lord nodded. Although he relied on his disciple, he didn't feel ashamed. He smiled and said, "However, we still need to be cautious when necessary. We can't be complacent. The powerful beings of the Zerg, the Machine Race, and the Demon Race won't give us any face."
"Indeed, if they could kill us, their entire race would probably resurrect us for free."
"Be careful!"
As the group chatted, a figure dressed in a blue robe flew over. It was none Lord of Myriad Laws, who had just left and returned.
--
" Qingshan."
" Lord of Myriad Laws."
Venerable Lei Ming and Venerable Beiming bowed in unison.
"Um!"
Lu Qingshan nodded and looked at his teacher Ganwu Country Lord.
Venerable Lei Ming and Venerable Beiming immediately took their leave and waited aside, knowing that the Lord of Myriad Laws must have something to say to the Ganwu Country Lord.
The Ganwu Country Lord also told his disciples about the arrival of the Venerable Great Wisdom.
Lu Qingshan smiled after listening and asked, "What do you think, teacher?"
"Since I accepted the gift, I certainly can't pursue the matter further. We have no other grudges between us. In the battle for treasure on the Primal Star, strength reigns supreme. Even if I die, I have no one to blame but myself."
The Ganwu Country Lord was very magnanimous.
"Since that's the case, this disciple will not pursue the Lord of Cold Thorn." Lu Qingshan smiled slightly. Although he had no intention of chasing after the Thorn Ring Alliance for revenge, if it weren't for Ganwu's words, he wouldn't mind if he became stronger in the future and happened to run into the Lord of Cold Thorn, and crushed him with one hand.
It can only be said that the Lord of Cold Thorn was quite clever, thus avoiding a future calamity.
"Master, I just went out and retrieved some good items from the Race Treasury. One of them should be of some help to you."
With a flick of his wrist, Lu Qingshan produced a Illusory Heart Fruit.
It was a fruit the size of a fist, with a dreamlike, glassy luster, as if countless illusory images were slowly flowing beneath its skin.
It's invisible and intangible.
"This is... the Illusory Heart Fruit?"
The Ganwu Country Lord stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in shock.
"Teacher, you even know this?" Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised. Last time, it was one thing for his teacher to know about the Spacetime Glazed Fruit, but he didn't expect his teacher to know about the Illusory Heart Fruit as well. The value of this thing was something that even ordinary Universe Master might not be able to afford.
"I also heard it from Ancestor Tree Venerable— " The Ganwu Country Lord recalled the contents of that conversation. At that time, Ancestor Tree Venerable's will broke through to the level of the Universe Master and invited friends to a gathering. The Ganwu Country Lord was among them. Ancestor Tree Venerable once said that if he had a Illusory Heart Fruit, he probably would have broken through long ago and wouldn't have had such a difficult time.
At that time, the Ganwu Country Lord asked what the Illusory Heart Fruit was, and the Ancestor Tree Venerable explained it to him and mentioned the value of the fruit.
That was a precious treasure that even the Ancestor Tree Venerable could not afford at the time.
Moreover, they are extremely rare; it is said that only a few will be born in a dangerous place in the Universe Ocean, over countless epochs.
Having learned the value of this fruit, the Ganwu Country Lord had no more illusions. Even at the height of his wealth, he couldn't afford even a tenth of this treasure. Besides, he had already perished once, losing his most precious Supreme Treasure.
"Teacher, since you know the name of this Illusory Heart Fruit, you should also understand its effects. I won't go into details. This treasure is far too precious; if you consume it now, I can watch over it for you."
Lu Qingshan tossed the fruit in his hand, and the Illusory Heart Fruit slowly floated to the front of the Ganwu Country Lord.
" Qingshan, this treasure is too precious, you should keep it." The Ganwu Country Lord took a breath.
"Teacher, you deserve great credit for obtaining that core component of the Sword River Luo. This is a reward from the clan, how could I dare to embezzle it? Besides, this thing is of no use to me anymore." Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
He holds authority among the Human Race second only to the Chaos City Lord, so it wouldn't be wrong to say that his giving the fruit to the Ganwu was a gift from his race.
"Such a treasure is really a waste for an old man like me to consume."
The Ganwu Country Lord was well aware of the treasure's value. If it were given to the top geniuses of the Human Race, the effect would obviously be even better, and those geniuses might be able to grow even higher in the future.
"Teachers don't need to overthink it; human geniuses naturally have their own resources."
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
After hesitating for a moment, the Ganwu Country Lord finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the fruit.
The moment the fruit entered his stomach, the Ganwu Country Lord's eyes suddenly lost focus, his body froze on the spot, and his soul's aura fluctuated wildly, as if he had been swept into an invisible storm of souls.
"This Illusory Heart Fruit is safe to take, and the longer you persist with it, the better the effect. I wonder how long you can persist, Teacher!"
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment.
He stood guard by his side.
Although Venerable Beiming and Venerable Lei Ming were unaware of what had happened, they were also watching over them from a distance.
One year, two years, three years----
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The Ganwu Country Lord opened his eyes. His aura had completely changed, becoming fierce and sharp, like a newly unsheathed sword.
His will also underwent a transformation in Lu Qingshan's perception, reaching the level of Universe Master.
After a long while, the Ganwu Country Lord finally recovered. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, " Qingshan, thank you—I, your master, also experienced what it felt like to be a genius within this illusion!"
"Congratulations, teacher! Congratulations! Your willpower has broken through, and your strength should be breaking through soon too."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Although fully integrating the Time Law is somewhat difficult, I have gained some confidence. Qingshan, this is all thanks to you!"
It's unclear what he experienced within the illusion, but the deathly aura emanating from the Ganwu Country Lord dissipated, replaced by an unwavering confidence.
This is exactly what one needs to break through to become the Universe Master!
Having confidence doesn't guarantee you can do something, but lacking confidence makes it impossible.
Given Ganwu's current state, the possibility of him breaking through is much greater than before. Lu Qingshan believes that perhaps it won't be long before his teacher becomes the Universe Master.
