Lu Qingshan has not forgotten his original aspiration.
Taking on disciples and returning them as gifts is the fastest way for him to comprehend the laws.
Neither receiving the Beast God Inheritance nor comprehending the Chaos Crystal can compare to this method.
Of course, these two are not contradictory.
They can absolutely be done simultaneously.
Lu Qingshan plans to take on several disciples who Path of the Beast God, to help him quickly master all eight paths of the Path of the Beast God.
As for Time-Space Fusion and other combination methods, he needs to comprehend and understand the Chaos Crystal himself. After all, it is quite difficult to recruit disciples who follow the path of Fusion Law other than the Path of the Beast God in the Primal Universe.
Such disciples need to be deliberately cultivated and guided in order to have a chance of being cultivated, and cultivation and guidance both require a lineage as a guide.
Of course, it's not entirely impossible for him to comprehend and write down the secret techniques on his own, but it would be too slow and tedious.
As for the selection of disciples...
Flora was the first; she had already made her choice.
He then continued looking down. He would put aside those at the Universe Venerable level for the time being, as his main goal was to recruit those below the Universe Venerable King Rank. After all, the reward for breaking through to the Universe Venerable was quite astonishing, and Lu Qingshan didn't want to waste it.
Those below the level of Universe Venerable are easier to cultivate, have more room for improvement, and can obtain more cashback.
In this respect, he is the complete opposite of the Beast God of Lightning.
The Beast God of Lightning likes to take what's readily available, but for Lu Qingshan, the best choice is a genius who has just come into contact with the Fusion Law but has extremely high talent.
However, such geniuses are rarely encountered in the Ancestral God Religion.
"Let's choose the Crimson Flame Beast for the second one!"
Lu Qingshan confirmed the choice for his second disciple.
Crimson Flame Beast.
Special Lifeform with 100 times the Gene Level, a darling of the Flame Law, its talent in the Flame Law is much stronger than that of the Purple Fire Ape. Moreover, the Crimson Flame Beast's Innate Secret Technique is extremely powerful. Once it breaks through to the Universe Venerable level, even ordinary Universe Overlord would probably not want to provoke it.
The third one...
Lu Qingshan carefully selected from the list of contributors, eliminating duplicates and those he didn't like, and finally chose a Special Lifeform with the wood attribute.
Purple Wood Flood Dragon! This Purple Wood Flood Dragon is quite different from the previous two. Flora and Crimson Flame Beast are both veteran members of the Special Lifeform team, and they both have their own backgrounds in the Ancestral God Religion. Flora is the inheritor of the Dou Kou Race and is backed by the Venerable Zi Dou Kou, one of the 72 Divine Generals of the Ancestral God Religion.
The Crimson Flame Beast is the same; it has some connection with the Blood Fire Divine General of the Ancestral God Religion. It obtained the Beast God Inheritance Token of the Ancestral God Religion Sect by following the path of the Blood Fire Divine General God General. All of this is clearly recorded in the materials of their Special Lifeform team.
As for this Purple Wood Flood Dragon, it doesn't have the same background as the previous two. There are thousands of Purple Wood Flood Dragon in the Primal Universe, and the strongest one is just Universe Overlord. This Purple Wood Flood Dragon is the only one who Ancestral God Religion as a successor.
He was merely Second Layer inheritor, only recently recruited into Special Lifeform team. His Life Gene Level was only 50 times, incomparable to the Dou Kou Race and the Crimson Flame Beast. However, his talent for the Fusion Law was very strong. In just tens of thousands of years, he had gone from just coming into contact with the Fusion Law to the current peak level of the Second Layer level, and he had only received the Beast God Inheritance twice.
His ranking in this contribution ranking wasn't very high, only in the middle range, but considering his ability, he definitely did his best!
Soon, Lu Qingshan finalized his selection of the three disciples: Flora, who followed the Water-Space Fusion Law; Crimson Flame Beast, who Fire-Space Fusion Law; and Purple Wood Flood Dragon, who followed the Wood Space Fusion Law.
As for the remaining Earth-Space and Gold-Space, he has already comprehended the Seventh Layer level of perfection, so there is no need for him to take on any more disciples.
This is below space.
Over time, Thunder Time has already comprehended the Seventh Layer perfection, and for now, Luo is barely enough for Light Time. Only Wind-Time Fusion Law...
Lu Qingshan looked carefully but didn't find anything particularly suitable. Apart from Special Lifeform teams, he didn't plan to take on any geniuses from other forces for the time being. After considering for a moment, Lu Qingshan put it aside for the time being... Wind Time also had a way. Now his disciple Ling Yu had already comprehended the Lightning-Time Fusion Law to the Seventh Layer perfection and had also comprehended the Beast God Heart. Next, he could completely guide her to comprehend the Wind-Time Fusion Law.
This is the path that must be taken to improve one's strength. If Ling Yu were to embark on the path of Wind-Time Fusion Law, it would be more suitable than taking on another disciple.
After all, Ling Yu's return was ten thousand times, while the disciples he took in only received a thousand times. For geniuses who follow the Path of the Beast God, becoming First-Class Genius is extremely difficult; they must possess the Beast God Heart... Without the Beast God Heart, no matter how powerful their talent, they cannot become Universe Master —this is a necessary threshold. Compared to the Path of the Beast God, following the Path of Time and Space is simpler; as long as the Space-Time Law reach a certain standard, there is hope of becoming First-Class Genius!
Let's choose these three for now!
Lu Qingshan circled the three names.
Upon seeing these three names, both Purple Rain Venerable and Bug Chasing Venerable showed expressions of surprise.
They thought the Demon Master Xue You would take one or two Universe Overlord as disciples, since Universe Overlord could already help with tasks. Unexpectedly, all three disciples were granted the King Rank.
They all need to be cultivated to the Universe Venerable before they can be used.
Flora could understand, after all, her contribution ranked first, so an exception could be made. But what were the Crimson Flame Beast and Purple Wood Flood Dragon? Purple Rain Venerable and Bug Chasing Venerable couldn't figure out what kind of rule this disciple-acceptance followed.
Of course, that was when the Demon Master Xue You was taking on disciples; they only had the right to offer suggestions at most.
" Purple Rain, could you ask them for me if they'd be willing to be my disciples?"
Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"I'll go to the Glory World and ask them now." Purple Rain Venerable nodded. Although the probability of rejection was extremely small, if he were to be rejected, the Demon Master Xue You would definitely lose face. If he went to inquire first, there wouldn't be any problems.
Those little ones, unless they're stupid, shouldn't refuse such a Supreme Treasure.
The Wuhua Secret Realm, on a giant Ice Prison Star.
This place is covered by countless layers of ice and snow. Amidst the boundless ice and snow, some special plants grow here, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
In the center of the continent, inside a palace forged from Ice Prison Star Stone, three figures were drinking fruit wine together.
" Flora, I heard that the God Lord Xue You has returned and opened the Ancestral God Religion's First Treasure. Perhaps it won't be long before he discovers that you're at the top of the contribution rankings."
The speaker was a stunningly beautiful woman with countless purple braids. She wore a light purple gauze dress and her eyes were full of smiles.
"Yes, I've heard about it too. The Demon Master Xue You threw hundreds of True Treasure into the Treasure Land, many of them top-tier. It's a pity I didn't know about it. If I were in the Treasure Land, I might have been able to snatch one."
Flora said with some annoyance.
"Haha, what a coincidence! Who knows when God Lord Xue You will go to the Treasure Land? Those guys are just lucky. But if you ask me... you two are just wasting your time. What's the use of being number one on the contribution list? That contribution list is all set up by Purple Rain Venerable. God Lord Xue You doesn't even know if he looks at it. On the contrary, by giving up those price differences, you've lost a lot of benefits."
Qing Dou Kou Venerable gulped down a mouthful of fruit wine and said, shaking his head.
He disagreed with Flora and Venerable Zi Dou Kou's ideas.
Trying to get the Demon Master Xue You's attention by ranking first on the contribution list? The Demon Master Xue You is a high and mighty Guardian Divine Lord; it's not that easy.
" Qing Dou Kou, you old codger, short-sighted and utterly naive. How could I have ever fallen for you in the first place!" Venerable Zi Dou Kou snorted.
"Why say such things in front of the younger generation?" Qing Dou Kou Venerable coughed twice, his old face turning red.
Flora chuckled and defused the situation, saying, "Chief Qing, although I sacrificed a lot of the price difference to win over those inheritors of the Northern Territory Alliance, there was still some profit. Little by little, it adds up. In the end, this contribution can be exchanged for a Water Lotus Fruit."
" Water Lotus Fruit." Qing Dou Kou Venerable showed an envious expression.
Those were valuable items that even he couldn't afford; he never imagined that a junior member of his own clan could exchange for them.
" Flora, your talent is the best besides the two of us. With this Water Lotus Fruit, you have a chance to break through to the Universe Venerable realm."
"Qing Dou Kou Venerable asked expectantly."
"It's a bit difficult, but there's also a glimmer of hope. The leader should know how difficult it is to comprehend the spatial realm; even I'm not entirely confident."
Flora responded.
"Becoming Universe Venerable is indeed very difficult. Even for Special Lifeform, it only gives them an advantage when breaking through to the Immortal God. It's already good enough if they have even a sliver of hope. If you succeed, our Dou Kou Race will have three Universe Venerable."
" Flora, don't be stressed. Even if you don't succeed, there will be other opportunities in the future. I will keep an eye out for suitable treasures for you in the Ancestral God Religion," Venerable Zi Dou Kou comforted her.
"Chief, I know."
Flora nodded, but even so, she couldn't help feeling nervous.
She knew how rare this opportunity was; if she couldn't break through to the Universe Venerable with the help of that Water Lotus Fruit, she might never have such a chance again in her life.
However, at this very moment...
Flora took out a purple token from her storage arm guard.
"It's Purple Rain Venerable!"
She glanced at the two leaders, then stood up, and a divine power slowly seeped into the token.
" Purple Rain Venerable, I am in the Wuhua Secret Realm."
Flora spoke directly to the two leaders.
"No wonder I couldn't find you in the Glory World. I have good news for you. The God Lord Xue You just looked at the contribution rankings and was very pleased that you were ranked first. The God Lord plans to take on a few disciples in our Special Lifeform team. I wonder if you would be willing to become the God Lord Xue You's disciple?"
"What!" Flora exclaimed in shock.
After receiving the message from Purple Rain Venerable, she had countless thoughts, but she never imagined that it was God Lord Xue You who wanted to take her as a disciple.
Given the status of the God Lord Xue You, how could he so easily accept an Immortal God as a disciple?
But these words, coming from Purple Rain Venerable, were clearly not unfounded.
"I..."
"Yes, yes!" Before Flora could speak, the voice of Venerable Zi Dou Kou rang out from the side.
" Purple Rain Venerable, please tell God Lord Xue You that Flora is very willing to become his disciple; she was just too excited."
" Purple Rain Venerable, I am willing to become your disciple," Flora quickly added.
"Haha, no need to be so polite. Since you've decided to become Xue You You's disciple, from now on you can just call me... just like you call me Big Brother, like you do with Bug Chasing!"
" Purple Rain... Big Brother..."
"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. You should return to the Ancestral God Religion as soon as possible and go to the Xue You Continent to become an apprentice."
After saying that, the call ended. " Qing Dou Kou, you were just making sarcastic remarks, what do you have to say now? Because of Flora's contributions, the God Lord Xue You intends to take her as his disciple!"
The Venerable Zi Dou Kou raised his hand and slapped towards the Qing Dou Kou Venerable.
The Qing Dou Kou Venerable stumbled from the slap and sat down on the ground. Ignoring his embarrassment, he exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, my fault, my fault! I'll punish myself with three cups! Flora has become a disciple of the God Lord Xue You; she'll surely become Universe Venerable in the future! Our Dou Kou Race is about to produce its third leader!"
"Don't you dare waste the fruit wine I brewed myself!" Venerable Zi Dou Kou collected all the fruit wine on the table, leaving only one cup for Qing Dou Kou Venerable.
Qing Dou Kou Venerable stood up and said, " Flora, the matter of becoming a disciple cannot be delayed; the sooner the better. Return to the Ancestral God Religion now."
"Okay, Flora, you should Divine Kingdom Teleportation directly. We can't keep the God Lord Xue You waiting!"
The Venerable Zi Dou Kou also spoke.
"Chief, Flora has gone ahead."
Flora bowed to the two leaders, then Teleportation to an open space, activated the Divine Kingdom Teleportation, and returned to her residence in the Ancestral God Religion.
