On the throne in the Xue You Divine Hall.
Lu Qingshan looked in the direction Xi Luo Duo left, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Xi Luo Duo's talent was among the best of all his disciples.
He should be stronger than Purple Rain Venerable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the Spirit Reader, which is not quite suitable for the Path of the Beast God, yet he still managed to push the Path of the Beast God to the Sixth Layer perfection.
This was a level he had already reached before his demise countless eons ago.
He had already grasped this point during the guidance he was just receiving, which is why I went to the extra trouble of demonstrating the entire process of transitioning from the Sixth Layer the Path of the Beast God to the Seventh Layer.
Teachers all like good students, especially those who understand things quickly. Xi Luo Duo was such a student to him.
"If Xi Luo Duo had followed the path of a martial artist, perhaps the Path of the Gold-Space Beast God would have already broken through to the peak of the Seventh Layer!"
Lu Qingshan secretly made a guess.
The fact that the Spirit Reader Path of the Beast God definitely slowed down Xi Luo Duo's progress. Lu Qingshan was well aware of this, and Xi Luo Duo was probably aware of it as well.
But Lu Qingshan had no intention of changing his mind. Even if it was the peak of the Seventh Layer, so what?
Purple Rain Venerable is at this level.
We're still stuck here, unable to make any progress.
It's completely meaningless...
Unless he can comprehend the Beast God Heart, and since Xi Luo Duo himself prefers the path of Spirit Reader, if he were to switch to the path of a warrior, the hope of comprehending the Beast God Heart would likely be even more remote, or perhaps there would be no hope at all.
Lu Qingshan doesn't need disciples of Universe Overlord, nor does he need disciples of Top Universe Overlord. He took Purple Rain Venerable and Xi Luo Duo as his disciples in order to help them break through to the realm of Universe Master.
Only if they are the Universe Master can they provide significant assistance to his current cultivation!
"If only there were another Beast God Heart..."
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment.
Given Xi Luo Duo's talent and passion, if he were given the Beast God Heart, there would certainly be a considerable chance that he could comprehend the Beast God Heart.
However... the Beast God Heart can only be obtained by First-Class Genius.
Luo Feng, Ling Yu... they're already inheritors... bestowing Inheritance Token upon them again would have no effect, and besides, it's quite easy for them to obtain Inheritance Token now. Ling Xi, on the other hand, could.
"Exchange an Inheritance Token for Ling Xi and collect the cashback first. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come to the Ancestral God Religion."
Lu Qingshan quickly made a decision in his mind.
If you don't take advantage of a freebie, you're missing out.
How much is a Inheritance Token worth?
It's just one or two Supreme Treasure Point.
There's a good chance that the Beast God Heart could be used to comprehend the Beast God Heart!
Luo Feng will definitely not break through for the time being. If another disciple of the Universe Master were to come, it would be of great help to him!
Right now.
Mirror Venerable, with his golden mane, shrank his body and entered. After entering, he respectfully bowed before speaking.
"Master, the Godly General Mantuo, saying she wishes to see you."
" The Godly General Mantuo?" Lu Qingshan naturally knew this name.
He needed World Tree biological materials to nurture his Clone, so he traded the Tree of Life with the Godly General Mantuo. This was an extremely unequal trade, with the Godly General Mantuo a huge advantage. However, seeing that he was easy to bully, the Godly General Mantuo casually gave him a crippled Tree of Life to get rid of him.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the outcome.
Otherwise, he would have already reduced this guy to ashes!
"Let him in!"
Lu Qingshan snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Soon, a man about three meters tall, with a bald head and large blue markings on his head, walked in.
This is Godly General Mantuo, one of the Seventy-Two Divine Generals the Ancestral God Religion Sect.
With the strength of Top Universe Overlord, they are the backbone of the Ancestral God Religion.
As he entered the main hall, his gaze quietly swept over the blood-red stone pillars around him, finally settling on the figure on the throne draped in a blood-red robe.
Just one glance. His heart sank, and he knew he had come to the right place.
The Demon Master Xue You on the throne merely looked at him indifferently, a faint smile playing on his lips. He appeared gentle, yet it sent chills down his spine.
Just as rumored, the Demon Master Xue You is ruthless and powerful. He is generous to his own people but extremely cruel to his enemies. The Demon Race clan's inheritors and the Mirror Venerable at the gate have already proven everything.
"Your subordinate pays homage to the great God Lord Xue You."
The Godly General Mantuo bowed respectfully.
" Godly General Mantuo, we seem to have no connection whatsoever. What brings you to my Xue You Divine Hall?"
Lu Qingshan did not let the Godly General Mantuo get up, but simply said...
The Godly General Mantuo breathed a sigh of relief.
He naturally knew this was a show of force from the Demon Master Xue You, and he was also aware of what he had done back then.
He had already gained a huge advantage in that transaction, but he thought the King Xue You was easy to bully, so he casually offered him a half-dead, crippled Tree of Life to get rid of him.
At the time, he naturally didn't think anything of it. He was one of the Divine General of the Ancestral God Religion, with a venerable status and great strength. A little guy who wasn't even Universe Venerable couldn't possibly cause any trouble.
But he never imagined that his casual decision would sow such a terrible seed of trouble for him. That King Rank had broken through to the Universe Master in just over a dozen epochs, and was now one of the few Guardian Divine Lord of the Ancestral God Religion. His strength was beyond his imagination.
" God Lord Xue You..." Godly General Mantuo took a deep breath and said, "Your subordinate has come today to apologize for what happened back then."
"Oh, the deal is over. Is there some hidden story behind it?"
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
The more he acted this way, the more terrified the Godly General Mantuo became. He dared not argue and spoke directly.
" God Lord God Lord Xue You, during the transaction, I was blinded by greed and deceived you with a Tree of Life lacking its original essence. I deserve to die a thousand deaths. For years, I have lived in constant fear and unease. Today... having heard that you have finished your seclusion, I have come here specifically to apologize."
After speaking, he held up a transparent sphere with both hands. The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flowed on it, sometimes dispersing and sometimes merging into the laws of space.
Lu Qingshan naturally knew what this was.
Heart of Space!!
These are extremely rare treasures found in the Primal Universe. They can be used to refine superior Origin Supreme Treasure and also to enhance the talents of geniuses!
"This Heart of Space, which I have guarded for over ten eras, has finally matured. I humbly request that God Lord Xue You accept it."
There was no reluctance in Godly General Mantuo's tone; it was as if he truly wanted to offer up a treasure. "Hehe..." Lu Qingshan looked at Godly General Mantuo. This guy was clever; he didn't wait for Lu Qingshan to go looking for trouble, but instead delivered himself to apologize, and even brought this mature Heart of Space with him.
"You're really willing to do that!"
Lu Qingshan still remembered the pained expression on Godly General Mantuo when he last went to take away the Space Crystal.
"This Heart of Space was originally discovered by you, sir. It is my honor to guard this treasure for you for ten epochs."
The Godly General Mantuo extremely humble.
Although his heart was bleeding inwardly, the Godly General Mantuo dared not show it at all.
The Demon Master Xue You's power had driven him to despair. If the Heart of Space hadn't been immature and he hadn't lacked a proper apology gift, he would have come to apologize long ago and wouldn't have waited until today.
He could still tell which was more important: a Heart of Space or his own life.
Given the Demon Master Xue You's status, even if he were killed, no one would say anything; it would simply be a matter of choosing another Godly General Mantuo from among the reserve Divine General.
" Godly General Mantuo, you do have some sense... If there's nothing else, you may leave."
Lu Qingshan said slowly.
Although the deal with the Godly General Mantuo had deceived him, the outcome was still good, and Lu Qingshan didn't harbor much hatred towards the Godly General Mantuo. Now that this guy had taken the initiative to sincerely apologize and even offered the Heart of Space, he didn't intend to make a big deal out of it. After all, he was just a minor Divine General, and if he took it too seriously, it would only tarnish his own status.
"Thank you for your leniency God Lord Xue You."
The Godly General Mantuo bowed and kowtowed, then left the Heart of Space behind before slowly departing from the main hall.
Stepping out the door, the Godly General Mantuo felt the world was refreshingly clean, and the heavy pressure on his body completely dissipated.
Although he has offended the Demon Master Xue You, after today, even if the Demon Master Xue You dislikes him, he should not be able to take action against him. In the future, he only needs to avoid the powerful members of the Xue You Lineage, and there should be no problem.
Demon Master Xue You...
The Godly General Mantuo filled with remorse.
If King Xue You had seized the opportunity to make a deal with him back then and befriended King Xue You... then today, Purple Rain Venerable and Bug Chasing Venerable might be his status as well.
It's a pity that some opportunities, once missed, are missed forever. For him, achieving what he has now is already a pretty good result.
" Mirror Venerable, thank you for your report."
The Godly General Mantuo bowed respectfully to Mirror Venerable.
Mirror Venerable merely snorted without responding, and Godly General Mantuo, unconcerned, turned and left the Xue You Continent.
The Primal Star, designated as Precious Star 01121.
On the Endless wasteland, the wind howled, stirring up clouds of sand and dust.
A towering figure, millions of kilometers high, is walking briskly across the wasteland.
It was a Mountain Giant entire body was made of dark gray rock, with four thick arms each holding a giant hammer, and eight hooves treading on the earth, causing the ground to tremble with every step.
It is none other than the Lord Tongling, the Universe Master of the Demon Race Alliance!
At this moment, the Lord Tongling walked briskly across the wasteland, casually swinging his four arms with a giant hammer, smashing the mountains along the way to pieces, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, that Blood Cloud Palace Master got away again, what a waste!"
The Lord Tongling's voice was like muffled thunder.
Not long ago, he joined forces with several Universe Master to almost suppress the Blood Cloud Palace Master. Unfortunately, the Blood Cloud Palace Master was extremely cunning and managed to break through the defenses of a Universe Master from the Northern Territory Alliance and escape.
"If I ever run into that guy again, I'll smash him into a pulp!"
The Lord Tongling said viciously. However, at that very moment...
A blood-red figure suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
The figure was draped in a blood-red cloak and wore a silver mask. Behind it, Endless waves of blood surged, exuding an evil and terrifying aura.
It was the Blood Cloud Palace Master who had escaped from their clutches not long ago!
" Lord Tongling, are you talking about me?"
A hoarse, sinister voice echoed across the wasteland.
The Lord Tongling abruptly stopped, staring intently at the blood-red figure in the distance, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
" Blood Cloud Palace Master!"
"How dare you show your face in front of me!"
