Inside the Xue You Palace, Lu Qingshan sat upright on the throne, his blood-red robes hanging down, exuding a faint aura of power.
Purple Rain Venerable led the three King Rank into the main hall.
" Xue You Brother, the person has been brought."
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.
Flora, the Crimson Flame Beast, and the Purple Wood Flood Dragon are three Special Lifeform, each representing one of the three Path of the Beast God: Water Space, Fire-Space, and Wood Space.
These are his carefully selected disciples; they all have good talent and potential. With a little training, they will soon be able to break through to the Universe Venerable.
"Greetings, God Lord Xue You!"
The three of them knelt down simultaneously.
"Now that you have come here, you must have already made your decision. From this day forward, you are my disciples, Xue You."
"Greetings, teacher!"
The three immediately changed their forms of address, their hearts filled with excitement, for now the master-disciple relationship was finally settled. Lu Qingshan then spoke, his voice calm.
"I don't have many requirements for my disciples, only three."
"First, you must not betray your master."
Second, members of the same sect must not kill each other.
"Third, one must not neglect cultivation; one must have the heart of a strong person."
"Your disciple will remember this!"
The three responded in unison.
These three rules were far too simple for them; apart from the prohibition against betraying their sect, the rest were practically meaningless.
They came to the Ancestral God Religion to cultivate themselves into powerful beings, so naturally they all have the heart of a strong person. As for killing each other, that's a joke!
Between fellow disciples, how could they possibly kill each other unless there was a deep-seated blood feud?
Get up.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted the three of them up. He then spoke.
"To accept you as my disciples, I have prepared three gifts. The first is the opportunity to Beast God Inheritance. I will grant each of you one hundred opportunities to Beast God Inheritance!"
"One hundred times!"
Flora and the Crimson Flame Beast were alright; they knew their teacher's status, and a hundred chances of inheritance were nothing more than a matter of a single word for him.
But Purple Wood Flood Dragon was extremely surprised.
For him, this opportunity to inherit the legacy was too precious; it could only be obtained for free once he achieved a breakthrough in the Path of the Beast God.
As for the chance to exchange one hundred Glory Points, it meant nothing to him. After breaking through to the Second Layer Inheritor, he had accepted two challenges, and despite being very careful, he still lost both times. Now he only had one Glory Points left.
It's conceivable that to receive the Beast God Inheritance again, he would need to Fusion Law and break through to the Third Layer. However, without the opportunity to Beast God Inheritance, breaking through to the Third Layer would be extremely difficult.
For him, this was a complete dead end.
But the teacher gave him a hundred chances!
One hundred inheritances would be more than enough for him to easily break through to the third or even fourth level of the Beast God's Path!
"Thank you, teacher!" the three said in unison.
Lu Qingshan simply nodded slightly, then waved his hand.
Three uniquely designed Supreme Treasure Armor flew out from the throne and hovered in front of the three.
One piece is light blue with a soft, watery sheen; another is fiery red, burning with intense heat; and the third is wood-green, exuding a rich sense of life.
"These are three Ordinary Supreme Treasure armors, each suited to your respective attributes. You should all put them away!"
Thank you, teacher!
The three of them spoke at the same time.
They all knew how precious the Supreme Treasure was, something that many Universe Venerable did not possess. They were given one as a gift when they became disciples, and it was even Supreme Treasure Armor!
"The last thing."
Lu Qingshan paused, his gaze falling on the three of them.
"That thing is too precious for you, so I've left it with Mirror Venerable. When you're confident enough to challenge the Universe Venerable, you can go to him to retrieve it."
"Yes, teacher!" The three nodded emphatically, their hearts filled with anticipation for the thing.
If you claim it when you're confident you can break through to the Universe Venerable Universe Venerable, doesn't that mean it will help you break through?
Flora and the Crimson Flame Beast are both veteran invincible Invincible King, especially Flora, who had already planned to use all her wealth to exchange for a Water Lotus Fruit to break through to the Universe Venerable. Upon hearing this news, she was naturally overjoyed.
"Alright, from now on you can each find a place to live on the Xue You Continent. You can also come here to cultivate in the future. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can send me an email in the Glory World, and I will guide you when I have time."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand.
"Yes, teacher."
The three bowed respectfully and followed Purple Rain Venerable out of the Xue You Palace.
As they stepped out of the hall, the three of them saw Mirror Venerable lying at the entrance once again.
The terrifying aura emanating from that enormous body left the three of them speechless with awe.
"Senior Mirror, I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
Purple Wood Flood Dragon spoke cautiously and bowed respectfully.
Mirror Venerable opened one eye and merely glanced at him indifferently. Purple Wood Flood Dragon didn't care and followed Purple Rain Venerable away.
Meanwhile, in the secret realm of the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan.
The camp of the Three Fiends on the outskirts of Purple-Gold Mountain.
The three Black Centipede Venerable, Green Scythe Venerable, and Black Scorpion Venerable sat together, with treasures plundered from Purple-Gold Mountain laid out before them.
"Hahaha, the Purple Wood Flood Dragon clan is quite clever; they know when to yield. Otherwise, if the three of us attacked together, apart from that old Venerable Zi Ao, all the other Purple Wood Flood Dragon would definitely be dead!"
The Black Centipede Venerable grinned, his eyes full of smugness. With just a few words, he had the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan relinquish their ancestral land, thus avoiding a bloodbath. He was quite satisfied with this outcome!
"That old bastard, Venerable Zi Ao, is no match for us. If he weren't so troublesome, we would have wiped out the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan long ago. But it's fine this way, it saves us the trouble. From now on, this treasure land belongs to the three of us brothers!" It was Green Scythe Venerable spoke.
The Black Scorpion Venerable also smiled and said.
"This Purple-Gold Mountain nurtures countless treasures in every era. The Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan must have accumulated quite a few. It would be such a waste to let them go like this!"
"Forget it, there's no need to push them too far. Anyway, we all have Endless lifespans. With such a treasure trove, we can accumulate more over time!"
"That's true, that Purple Wood Flood Dragon should be moving soon. I need to go out and look for any lone little guys. Purple Wood Flood Dragon are valuable; if you catch World Lord Level one, it'll be worth a fortune!" "You'd better save your breath. That old guy probably hid the others after losing one; there's no chance..."
As he spoke, Black Centipede Venerable suddenly took out Communication Token.
All three of them are Elder Gu Universe Venerable, and since they are working together to deal with the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan, they will naturally pay attention to all news about the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan.
On the other side of the token was a friend of his from the Ancestral God Religion.
Just a moment later, Black Centipede Venerable put down the token, his face extremely grim.
" Black Centipede? What's going on? What message did you receive?"
"Green Scythe Venerable asked."
The Black Scorpion Venerable also turned his head to look over.
The Black Centipede Venerable's face was gloomy, and he said with some disbelief.
"I just received a message from a friend in the Ancestral God Religion... The God Lord Xue You of the Ancestral God Religion has just taken in three disciples, one of whom is the Purple Wood Flood Dragon."
"This..."
Green Scythe Venerable and Black Scorpion Venerable exchanged a glance. "What a joke! That little fellow from the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan isn't even Invincible King. What makes him think he can be accepted as a disciple by the God Lord Xue You?"
"The news is indeed shocking, but it's true, and my friend wouldn't lie to me!"
The Black Centipede Venerable shook his head.
"So what do we do now?"
Both Black Scorpion Venerable and Green Scythe Venerable looked at Black Centipede Venerable; they naturally knew that this news couldn't be false.
"We can't touch the families of the God Lord Xue You's disciples! That Demon Master Xue You is too powerful; he could kill us with a single glance. We should give this Purple-Gold Mountain, no... the entire Purple Mountain Secret Realm to the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan."
"Boss, isn't this letting them off too easily?"
Green Scythe Venerable was somewhat unwilling.
They expended an immense amount of effort to obtain this secret realm, and within it, apart from the Purple Wood Flood Dragon clan, all other clans were forced to leave.
They were somewhat displeased that they had expended so much effort only to give it to the Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan.
"Cheap?"
The Black Centipede Venerable shook his head. "Don't you know who the Demon Master Xue You is? The three of us are less than ants in his presence!"
"Then... what do we do?"
"Walk!"
The Black Centipede Venerable gritted his teeth and said, "Let's leave this Cosmic Secret Realm and release the Purple Wood Flood Dragon we captured earlier. Although you, Black Scorpion, captured it while concealing your identity, they might not know it was us. But just to be on the safe side, let's release it."
"Release them? We finally managed to capture them... they're Special Lifeform at the World Lord Level!"
Black Scorpion Venerable was somewhat reluctant to part with it.
"Is your life more important, or those measly gains?"
The Black Centipede Venerable glared at him.
"Release that Purple Wood Flood Dragon first, then we'll leave this star field and go as far away as possible. There's no need to clash with the Demon Master Xue You's disciples."
"Isn't that too cowardly?"
The Black Scorpion Venerable muttered to himself.
"Coward?" A hint of coldness flashed in the Black Centipede Venerable's eyes.
"Only by being a coward can you live a long life. If we weren't cowards, the three of us would have died countless times already. How could we have the strength and status we have today!"
"Walk!"
The Three Fiends packed their things and left the Purple Mountain Secret Realm overnight... Before leaving, they not only released the Purple Wood Flood Dragon they had secretly captured, but also contacted Venerable Zi Ao, offering them the entire Purple Mountain Secret Realm in exchange for reconciliation!
The Purple Wood Flood Dragon Clan did nothing, but because a genius clansman became the disciple of the God Lord Xue You, not only did they resolve the clan's crisis and preserve their ancestral land, but they also gained ownership of the entire Purple Mountain Secret Realm. It can be said that they won big.
On the Xue You Continent, Purple Rain Venerable arranged accommodations for the three newly recruited disciples of the Demon Master Xue You and informed them of the rules of the Xue You Continent before proceeding to Bug Chasing Venerable's residence.
Purple Rain Venerable took out a bottle of fine wine, looked at his brother who had just finished cultivating, and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you in a hurry? You've already received the Beast God Inheritance twice recently!"
"Worried? Brother, you jest. Why would I be worried?" Bug Chasing Venerable shook his head.
"Of course it's because your teacher has taken on three more disciples! Don't let your current lead fool you; with your teacher's methods, he'll surely cultivate them all into Universe Venerable very soon! At that time, the care your teacher has given you will be divided into several more portions."
Purple Rain Venerable said sarcastically.
"Haha, big brother, I'm really not in a hurry... No matter how good the treasures our teacher gives them, can they compare to me? These past few days, I've received the Beast God Inheritance twice. It's not that I'm in a rush, but my progress has been too fast. I'm a genius now. I feel that my speed of comprehending the Earth-Space Law is at least a hundred times faster than before." "That's exaggerated?" Purple Rain Venerable showed a surprised expression. What exactly did your teacher bestow upon you? The effect is too exaggerated!
Purple Rain Venerable could see with his own eyes that Bug Chasing Venerable broke through to the Sixth Layer of inheritor after merging with that treasure. He never expected that after breaking through, he would still have such a fast pace of progress.
The Bug Chasing Venerable shook his head. "I don't know, I don't have the authority to check. Brother, you don't know either?"
"I've searched for the name ' Heart of the Earth,' but I haven't found any valuable information. My permissions aren't high enough either. Perhaps I should ask the Bauhinia Island Master?"
"Is this alright?"
"When Xue You bestowed the treasure upon you, he directly stated its name and said it was exchanged with the Black Universe Founder. He probably didn't expect you to hide it. Didn't you say before that when Xue You bestowed other good things upon you, you wouldn't be allowed to reveal them?"
That's true.
Bug Chasing Venerable nodded.
"He didn't say this time, so it should be fine. I'll just ask..." Purple Rain Venerable's Clone in the Glory World sent a message to the Bauhinia Island Master.
After a while, Purple Rain Venerable looked at his brother again, his envy now impossible to conceal.
"What did the Bauhinia Island Master say?" Bug Chasing Venerable knew that his elder brother must already know the news.
"The island lord said that the Heart of the Earth was born in a forbidden land within the Cosmic Ocean Mountains. Only the strongest beings in the universe are qualified to enter that place. This treasure is incomparably valuable, comparable to a top-tier treasure, and it's not just any ordinary top-tier treasure like weapons or armor... You, my teacher, are truly too generous!!" The shock of giving such a rare treasure, worth a top-tier treasure, to a disciple who was merely at the Cosmic Venerable level was immense. His most precious possession was merely the White Needle, a high-level palace treasure.
Compared to his younger brother, he felt a deep sense of poverty.
"So precious..." Bug Chasing Venerable took a deep breath. The Heart of the Earth had already merged into his body, so he naturally knew how miraculous this treasure was. He had already thought it was very precious, but he never expected it to be this expensive!
This Peak Supreme Treasure! Even the most Guardian Lord do not possess Supreme Treasure of this high level.
" Bug Chasing, being able to become the Demon Master Xue You's disciple is truly the luckiest thing that has ever happened to you. I'm so envious..."
Purple Rain Venerable gulped down the entire bottle of wine before he could finally calm himself down.
Bug Chasing Venerable picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and suddenly said with a smile, "If you're envious, brother, you can become my disciple..."
