Lu Qingshan waved for Purple Rain Venerable and Bug Chasing Venerable to sit down.
After they were seated, Lu Qingshan spoke.
"I heard that the Blood Cloud Palace Master specializes in slaughtering Top Universe Overlord on the Primal Star. You two are lucky to have left ahead of time!"
"It's just a coincidence... We never expected that the Blood Cloud Palace Master, who hadn't appeared for millions of epochs, would suddenly show up on the Primal Star. Originally, Bug Chasing and I were planning to rest for a while before setting off again to adventure on the Primal Star, but this incident delayed us... We heard that the Blood Cloud Palace Master has already left the Primal Star!"
Purple Rain Venerable said with relief.
That Blood Cloud Palace Master is too strong. I heard that even the Lord of Cold Thorn was forced back with one move. If he and Bug Chasing were to encounter him, they probably wouldn't be able to escape. That Blood Cloud Palace Master wouldn't give face to their Ancestral God Religion Sect!
" The Blood Cloud Palace Master has indeed left, but that guy is cunning and treacherous. Nobody knows if he'll launch a surprise attack, so there's no need for you to rush over and risk it."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Yes, that's what Bug Chasing and I thought too. Let's stay in the Ancestral God Religion Sect and observe the situation. Bug Chasing has improved rapidly recently, and his strength is already comparable to that of Top Universe Overlord!"
Purple Rain Venerable praised his brother.
Bug Chasing Venerable shook his head and said, "My attack and defense are barely up to par, and there is still a significant gap compared to the foundation of a top-tier Top Universe Overlord overlord. It is only by relying on my enormous divine body, Supreme Treasure Armor, and Soul Defense Supreme Treasure that I have managed to make up for some of my disadvantages. Without these, I would still be no match for Top Universe Overlord."
"Treasures are also a form of strength, so they shouldn't be excluded. You still have so many flaws, yet you're already comparable to Top Overlord, which shows you have great potential and a lot of room for improvement. How is your Law Comprehension now...?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Bug Chasing Venerable quickly replied, "This disciple's Path of the Beast God is currently at the Fifth Layer perfection. Brother Purple Rain gave me quite a few Glory Points, and I plan to receive several more inheritances recently, striving to break through to the Sixth Layer of the Path of the Beast God."
The Fifth Layer the Path of the Beast God is still inferior to some Universe Overlord, but Bug Chasing Venerable, with his powerful divine body and Innate Secret Technique, is already comparable to Top Universe Overlord.
It can only be said that his transformation from Bug Chasing King to Bug Chasing Venerable has been earth-shattering.
"Oh, are you confident you can break through to the Sixth Layer?"
Lu Qingshan continued to ask.
"I dare not deceive my teacher; I am of dull mind and do not have much confidence."
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly, then took out the Heart of the Earth.
As soon as the Heart of the Earth appeared, the entire Xue You Palace was enveloped by a dense fluctuation of earth and Law of Space.
The Bug Chasing Venerable looked at the hazy, earthen-yellow phantom, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He could sense it.
Within that hazy, ethereal image lay the profound mystery of the Earth-Space Fusion Law, a mystery that shook even his very soul. "Teacher, what is this?"
" The Heart of the Earth "
Lu Qingshan said calmly, and with a casual toss, the earthen-yellow phantom slowly drifted towards Bug Chasing Venerable.
"During this trip, I made a deal with the Black Universe Founder, one of which was this Heart of the Earth. This thing can greatly enhance your talent in the Earth-Space Fusion Law. You are following the Earth-Space Beast God Path, so this thing should be useful to you. I'm giving it to you! It should help you break through your bottleneck! Your future cultivation will be much smoother!"
"Teacher, this thing is too valuable!"
The Black Universe Founder was the Universe Supreme Master. How could a transaction between a teacher and the Universe Supreme Master involve ordinary treasures?
Although he didn't know the exact value of the Heart of the Earth, he could tell from his teacher's few words that its value was immeasurable.
"You are my disciple, so take it."
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
"This disciple thanks the teacher for the gift." Bug Chasing Venerable dared not refuse again. He bowed respectfully and accepted the Heart of the Earth with both hands.
The moment he touched the earth-yellow crystal, a vast Law Comprehension surged into his consciousness.
The earth's weight and the sky's vastness merged, transforming into a crystal-clear path leading to the heavens. His divine body, unconsciously connected to the Heart of the Earth, began to emanate a faint, earthy-yellow light.
"Integrate it into yourself, and let your teacher see the changes."
"Yes, teacher."
The Bug Chasing Venerable sat cross-legged, merging the Heart of the Earth into his divine body.
The earthen-yellow light slowly seeped into his divine body. During this process, countless secret patterns of the Earth-Space Fusion Law surrounded the surface of Bug Chasing Venerable's body.
One year, two years, three years...
The Bug Chasing Venerable's Law Comprehension naturally began to improve as he merged with the Heart of the Earth.
The Fifth Layer of perfection...
The Sixth Layer hurdle!
Bug Chasing Venerable frowned slightly, his expression serious. He seemed to have run into trouble when he reached the Sixth Layer threshold.
"Do not force a breakthrough. Follow the guidance of the laws and gradually comprehend them. Leave everything else to the Heart of the Earth."
Lu Qingshan's voice rang in his ears. Upon hearing this, Bug Chasing Venerable immediately took a deep breath, relaxed his mind, and allowed the Law Comprehension into the laws surging from the Heart of the Earth to flow through his consciousness. He then slowly comprehended the changes in these Earth-Space Fusion Law.
During this process, the mysteries of earth and space gradually became clear to him. And his consciousness seemed to have completely merged with the Heart of the Earth.
Sixth Layer... Broken!!
boom!
An invisible shackle has been broken!!
The earthen-yellow light emanating from Bug Chasing Venerable suddenly surged, illuminating the entire Xue You Palace.
His aura underwent a qualitative change at that moment.
The Earth-Space Fusion Law, Sixth Layer! Once you break through this barrier, there will be no further obstacles until you reach the Seventh Layer.
I've broken through!
Bug Chasing Venerable opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.
He had been stuck at the Fifth Layer tens of thousands of years, and thought it would take a long time before he could reach the threshold of the Sixth Layer.
Unexpectedly, with the assistance of the Heart of the Earth, he broke through in one go! And the breakthrough didn't stop there. He could feel that as long as he wanted to improve, he could rely on the Heart of the Earth to continue to enhance his Law Comprehension. This thing was far more precious than the Beast God Inheritance!
"Good."
Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction.
Although Bug Chasing Venerable's aptitude was average, his strength lay in his solid foundation.
With the blessing of the Heart of the Earth, his potential in the Earth-Space Beast God Path is no less than that of any genius.
[You bestowed the Heart of the Earth your disciple, the Bug Chasing Venerable, and received a thousandfold return; you, in return, received the Heart of the Universe.]
The Heart of the Earth was a treasure obtained by the Black Universe Founder from the Liuzhong Mountain. Its value is comparable to that of Peak Supreme Treasure. If it were not a rare treasure used to assist cultivation, but rather a supreme Supreme Treasure, it would even exceed the standard of being bestowed.
Such a treasure, with a return of a thousandfold, should be at the level of Supreme Supreme Treasure.
He sent a wisp of his consciousness into the Golden Finger space, where he saw a fist-sized black crystal floating inside, seemingly containing a miniature universe with countless stars slowly rotating within it.
The Heart of the Universe —I wonder how effective it will be!
He did not rush to explore the treasure in front of Purple Rain Venerable and his disciples.
"Teacher, I feel that my aptitude has improved a lot." Bug Chasing Venerable stood up, feeling the changes in his divine body, his eyes full of surprise.
" The Heart of the Earth can not only help you break through bottlenecks, but also permanently enhance your talent in the Earth-Space Fusion Law."
Lu Qingshan explained, "From now on, your speed of cultivating the Earth-Space Beast God Path will be several times faster than before. You can now be considered one of the top geniuses in the Ancestral God Religion in cultivating the Earth-Space Fusion Path."
Thank you, teacher!
Bug Chasing Venerable knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the earth, his heart filled with gratitude.
The bottleneck that he couldn't overcome was broken by his teacher's casual reward, which not only improved his aptitude permanently, but also made him feel indebted to his teacher. He could never repay the kindness of his teacher in this lifetime.
"Get up."
With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan sent a gentle force Bug Chasing Venerable Chaser.
"You've just broken through to the Sixth Layer, and with the blessing of the Heart of the Earth, this is a perfect time for rapid progress. Go ahead and receive several more Beast God Inheritance from the Ancestral God Religion."
"Yes, teacher."
Bug Chasing Venerable nodded respectfully.
Watching this scene, Purple Rain Venerable couldn't hide the envy in his eyes. His brother was truly fortunate to be able to become the disciple of the Demon Master Xue You!
Not long ago, his brother was still troubled by not being able to break through to the level of Universe Venerable. At that time, he was already Top Universe Overlord. All these years have passed, and he is still Top Universe Overlord, while his brother has already caught up from the King Rank.
This rate of progress is too fast, it's unbelievable!
As for the Heart of the Earth, Purple Rain Venerable discovered that he couldn't find any information about this treasure at all, which meant that it must be an extremely precious treasure! It was beyond his authority to know about.
"Being an apprentice is more worthwhile than being a brother!"
For some reason, Purple Rain Venerable suddenly had this thought.
When King Xue You joined the Special Lifeform faction, it was through Bug Chasing King's introduction that he got along well with Insect King. However, Bug Chasing King did not become Demon Master Xue You's disciple.
"Brother Purple Rain!"
The calm voice broke the Purple Rain Venerable's thoughts.
Purple Rain Venerable looked up, a smile on his face, and asked, " Xue You, is there anything else you need?"
" Purple Rain, I've looked at those biological lists. Almost all the biological materials from the Primal Universe have been collected. Have the contribution points been distributed?"
Purple Rain Venerable nodded: "They've all been distributed, but the bounties are still in effect. Although most of the biological materials have been collected, there are bound to be some unknown ones, so I haven't canceled the bounties." "Hmm, not bad... we can increase the contribution point rewards a bit. Let's see if any have slipped through the net."
Lu Qingshan gave the instructions.
" Xue You, the reward you gave is already high enough. There's no need to increase it. Just equalize the rewards from other contributors with the rewards from Special Lifeform."
"Okay, then let's do as you say. Those guys have already made enough money this time. There's no need to treat the remaining few who slipped through the net differently."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and continued, "Our Xue You Lineage is still too small. Apart from the Bug Chasing, there's only one disciple I took in from the Human Territory. I plan to take in a few more disciples from our Special Lifeform team. I wonder what Purple Rain thinks?"
"I..." Purple Rain Venerable showed a surprised expression, not expecting that the Demon Master Xue You would take in a few more disciples.
This is the Guardian Divine Lord accepting a disciple! With the Demon Master Xue You's strength and status, being accepted as a disciple by him is no less than being accepted as a disciple by Ancestral God!
" Xue You, if you're going to take on disciples, besides talent, you also need to consider their loyalty. Perhaps you should refer to the contribution rankings for collecting materials."
"Purple Rain Venerable suggested."
"Um."
Lu Qingshan looked up and saw a list appear out of thin air in the void in front of him, recording the contributions of each member of the Special Lifeform team.
First place: Flora! Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised. It was understandable that Flora ranked first in the early stages because of the biological materials in the entire Wuhua Secret Realm. He didn't expect that she could still maintain first place even though the collection mission was almost over.
It's important to know that there are quite a few Special Lifeform forms, Universe Overlord, and Universe Venerable!
Flora was merely a King Rank.
Seemingly sensing Lu Qingshan's confusion, Purple Rain Venerable explained, " Flora has worked incredibly hard over the years. She not only persuaded Venerable Zi Dou Kou and Qing Dou Kou Venerable to help her search for biological materials in dangerous areas, but she also collaborated with many inheritors from Human Race, the Northern Territory Alliance, and the Nine Domains Alliance. She proactively approached them, giving up most of her own profits, and ultimately secured her position at the top of the contribution list by transferring their biological materials."
"She's quite clever; let's give her the first spot!"
Lu Qingshan easily secured the first spot.
Flora followed the path of the Water-Space Fusion Law, which indeed met his needs!
It's quite good to have such a smart and sensible disciple in the Ancestral God Religion.
