Ancestral God Religion, Xue You Continent.
The majestic, blood-red palace stands at the very center of the continent.
At the palace gate, a colossal beast with golden mane on its face and covered in dark golden scales lay sprawled on the ground, like a small hill, completely blocking the entrance.
It was none other than Mirror Venerable.
Since the Blood Cloud Palace Master's wanton slaughter on the Primal Star, he has never gone back to that place. He has been guarding the gate here all these years and is quite happy with it.
Opposite him, a young man with a youthful appearance, forked dragon horns, and purple wood grain patterns between his brows respectfully bowed.
"Senior Mirror, I have a question I would like to ask you."
Purple Wood Flood Dragon spoke somewhat nervously.
Mirror Venerable opened one eye and glanced at him lazily.
"What's up?"
"This junior's Wood Space Fusion Dao reached the Second Layer perfection a long time ago, but I still see no hope of breaking through to the Third Layer. Senior is Universe Overlord, powerful and knowledgeable. I wonder if you could give this junior some pointers?"
" The Wood Space Fusion Law?" Purple Wood Flood Dragon asked earnestly.
Mirror Venerable blinked, and his enormous head slightly rose.
"Kid, I don't follow the path of Wood Space fusion, so I know nothing about your question."
"This..."
Purple Wood Flood Dragon was somewhat disappointed, but still remained respectful. He bowed and said, "I've disturbed you, Mirror Venerable. I'll think about it some more when I get back."
"You little brat, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Mirror Venerable snorted and called out to Purple Wood Flood Dragon. He pulled a wooden box from under his body with one of his huge claws.
The wooden box was entirely emerald green, exuding a rich sense of life.
"This is a treasure I stole from the Primal Star, called the Qingmu Sprout."
Mirror Venerable threw the wooden box in front of the Purple Wood Flood Dragon.
"This thing is helpful to cultivators who practice the Wood Space Fusion Law. I don't understand the Wood Law, so keeping it would be a waste. You can take it and use it."
"This..." Purple Wood Flood Dragon was flattered and quickly waved his hand.
"How could I, a junior, accept your gift?"
Mirror Venerable glared at him. "Just take it! Why are you being so long-winded!"
Purple Wood Flood Dragon felt a warmth in his heart and accepted the wooden box with both hands without further hesitation.
"Thank you so much, senior!"
"Don't thank me."
Mirror Venerable snorted, retracted his claws, and curled up again.
Just then, a crimson light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Xue You Palace.
"Owner!"
Mirror Venerable suddenly stood up, his massive body bowing slightly in respect.
"Teacher!" Purple Wood Flood Dragon, who was just about to take his leave, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Mirror Venerable before finally settling on the box in Purple Wood Flood Dragon's hand.
The contents of the box, of course, could not be kept from his investigation.
Qingmu Sprout, a top-grade treasure for cultivators of the Wood Space Fusion Law, is extremely useful even to Universe Venerable, and its value is approximately several hundred True Treasure Points.
He glanced at Mirror Venerable with surprise.
Although this guy had been subdued and made his will slave, he looked down on everyone else and showed no respect whatsoever, even to Purple Rain Venerable. However, he treated this Purple Wood Flood Dragon with special regard and even gave him a gift, which was truly rare.
Knowing what his master was thinking, Mirror Venerable explained, "Master, I obtained that by chance on the Primal Star. I had no use for it, so I gave it to this lad, Purple Wood Flood Dragon, who was sincerely seeking instruction."
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded, looking at his disciple.
" Purple Wood Flood Dragon, since the Mirror has bestowed this treasure upon you, you should diligently study it and strive to break through to the Third Layer the Path of the Beast God as soon as possible."
"Disciple understands!" Purple Wood Flood Dragon immediately replied.
"Go."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand.
Purple Wood Flood Dragon bowed again before turning and leaving.
After the Purple Wood Flood Dragon left, Lu Qingshan looked at Mirror Venerable again and said, "Go and summon Purple Rain Venerable!"
After saying that, he walked into the Xue You Divine Hall.
"Yes, sir!"
Mirror Venerable responded, and only after Lu Qingshan's figure disappeared did he fly towards the direction where Purple Rain Venerable was.
These days, apart from receiving the inheritance, Purple Rain Venerable has stayed on the Xue You Continent to cultivate.
Lu Qingshan summoned Purple Rain Venerable, naturally intending to bestow the Beast God Heart upon him.
He hesitated for a long time between Purple Rain Venerable and Xi Luo Duo, but ultimately chose Purple Rain Venerable. It wasn't that Purple Rain Venerable had a better relationship with him or that he had known him for longer, but rather that Purple Rain Venerable was already at the peak of the Seventh Layer, and only needed to comprehend the Beast God Heart to break through to the level of the Universe Master.
This was much faster Xi Luo Duo.
Although Lu Qingshan thought that Purple Rain Venerable was less talented Xi Luo Duo, that was relative. In fact, Purple Rain Venerable's talent was not much worse than that of Guardian Lord.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have surpassed some of the Guardian God General solely based on his own Law Comprehension.
Having reached this point, each and every one of them possesses astonishing talent; it's simply a matter of finding a prodigy among geniuses.
Xi Luo Duo still has a sliver of hope of comprehending the Beast God Heart. Even if Lu Qingshan doesn't give him the Beast God Heart in the future, there might still be a sliver of hope that he can break through on his own.
Of course, after waiting a while longer and obtaining the inheritance of the Ancient Civilization, Xi Luo Duo surely have other ways to break through to the level of the Universe Master.
Xi Luo Duo's talent, no matter what, is hundreds of times greater than that of the Venerable Zhen Yan...
Soon, Purple Rain Venerable arrived at the palace.
After using the Water Spirit Pearl, the aura of law emanating from his body became incredibly dense, making him appear as if he were the embodiment of a colossal Water Space Beast God.
" Purple Rain greets her teacher."
Purple Rain Venerable bowed. After being bestowed the Water Spirit Pearl, he felt no embarrassment whatsoever and only wanted to cling to the coattails of his Demon Master Xue You teacher.
" Purple Rain... Hehe, as I said before, if you become my disciple, I will not mistreat you... Now, I will give you a chance to break through to the level of Universe Master."
Lu Qingshan spoke slowly.
Upon hearing Purple Rain Venerable was stunned.
An opportunity to break through to become the Universe Master?
Given his current level, is there any other way for him to break through to the Universe Master besides comprehending the Beast God Heart?
"Teacher..."
Purple Rain Venerable took a deep breath.
"This disciple's Water-Space Fusion Law has already reached the peak of the Seventh Layer. To break through to the Universe Master, I must comprehend the Beast God Heart. Apart from that, it seems... there is no other way."
"That's right."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
"The opportunity I mentioned doesn't conflict with this!" A hint of doubt flashed in Purple Rain Venerable's eyes.
Lu Qingshan did not answer, but instead took out an object.
It was a huge, grayish-white heart, like a fossil. It looked like a dead object, but the top expert who cultivated the Path of the Beast God, especially the Path of the Beast God, had cultivated it to the Seventh Layer and could transform into Beast God, knew very well what it was.
"This is..."
Purple Rain Venerable was shocked, an expression of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"Teacher... this... this is the heart of Innate Beast God!"
"Exactly."
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"This is something I obtained by chance, and I am now bestowing it upon you. You should know its effects."
" The Beast God Heart..."
Purple Rain Venerable murmured to himself.
He had certainly heard of the Beast God Heart. It was a legendary Supreme Treasure, a product of the fallen Innate Beast God, and even the Universe Master was obsessed with it.
Rumor has it that as long as one possesses the Beast God Heart and walks the Path of the Beast God, there is a great chance that one will comprehend the Beast God Heart and thus break through to the Universe Master.
However, such treasures are extremely rare, and they disappeared for countless epochs, never to reappear since the fall of the Innate Beast God.
To my surprise, the teacher actually had one! And she even wanted to give it to me.
"Teacher, this... this is too precious."
Purple Rain Venerable stammered as he spoke.
He could accept the Water Spirit Pearl before, but this Beast God Heart was his hope for breaking through to the Universe Master!!
If you were to take it out, you could easily exchange it for a Peak Supreme Treasure!
"No treasure, however precious, is more important than a Universe Master. You need not refuse; refine it here and do not divulge it to anyone else... If you can use this to comprehend the Beast God Heart, you will not have failed your master's expectations."
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly.
Then, with a casual toss, the Beast God Heart flew towards Purple Rain Venerable.
The Xue You Divine Hall is isolated from the outside world. Even though the Three Ancestral Gods can use the Five-Colored Aurora Lake to explore the Xue You Continent, they cannot see what is happening inside the palace. Once this thing is refined, it will be integrated into the divine body of Purple Rain Venerable, becoming inseparable and undetectable from the outside!
Urged by Lu Qingshan, Purple Rain Venerable refined the fossilized Beast God Heart into his divine body.
After he succeeded, Lu Qingshan waved his hand.
"Go back and cultivate in seclusion to fully comprehend the Beast God Heart!"
Lu Qingshan did not put too much pressure on Purple Rain Venerable.
The probability of comprehending the Beast God Heart Beast God Heart only about one-third.
In other words, one out of every three users of the Beast God Heart will be able to comprehend the Laws of the Beast God Heart.
Although it doesn't look tall.
But this is an average.
While it's certain that all users of the Beast God Heart are top geniuses, they may not be as good as Purple Rain Venerable. Purple Rain Venerable, on his own, has already cultivated the Path of the Beast God to the peak of the Seventh Layer, which is clearly above average. Therefore, he has a higher probability of comprehending the Beast God Heart.
certainly!
Success would be fine. If it fails, then like Xi Luo Duo, they can only wait for the Ancient Civilization Inheritance emerge, or for Lu Qingshan to come up with another solution!
A remote and secluded Cosmic Secret Realm in the Primal Universe.
This is the lair of the Beast Ancestor in the Primal Universe.
The Lord Changjiu flew swiftly through the sky above the secret realm and soon arrived at a huge valley. Inside the valley, a massive black creature with nine enormous heads, stretching for millions of kilometers, was lazily sleeping.
"Paying respects to the Progenitor."
The Lord Changjiu flew down from the valley and respectfully bowed.
"Heh... How strange indeed. You, the chief steward of the Demon Race, have actually come to my remote secret realm and even call me 'Progenitor '..."
Although the Beast Ancestor did not open his eyes, he already knew about it the moment the Lord Changjiu entered the secret realm.
" Progenitor, the Demon Race is facing a great calamity. I would like to request that Progenitor return to take charge."
The Lord Changjiu seemed oblivious to the mockery of the Demon Race Progenitor and revealed his purpose.
"Hmm?" The Beast Ancestor opened his blood-red eyes, revealing an interested expression. He chuckled, "Could it be that Zhen Jiao and Meng Cha, those two traitors, have run off together, abandoning your Demon Race, and only now have they remembered me?"
"We dare not deceive our Progenitor. Not long ago, Shock Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor went on an adventure in the Universe Ocean and unfortunately both perished... Now our Demon Race is in disarray and urgently needs our Progenitor to return and take charge!"
A pleading glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord Changjiu.
He was originally the chief steward of the Demon Race, with a status similar to the Chaos City Lord, but now, for the sake of the continuation of his race, he had no choice but to bow down to the Beast Ancestor.
" Zhen Jiao and Meng Cha have perished??" The massive body of the Beast Ancestor shifted slightly, its enormous head raised high, revealing an expression of disbelief.
He ignored the Lord Changjiu, and in an instant, his figure vanished...
Just a few days later.
He then arrived outside the Small Universe of the Shock Demon Ancestor.
He was driven out by the combined forces of Shock Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor, and thus regarded them as enemies. Therefore, he knew how to get from the Primal Universe to outside their Small Universe the fastest way.
Upon entering the Universe Ocean, he only needed a few Teleportation to see a Small Universe with a diameter of one hundred million light-years.
Even from a great distance, the Beast Ancestor saw that this Small Universe was covered with countless cracks, through which countless streams of Chaos energy were surging into Small Universe.
Even from beyond the universe, the shattered continents could be faintly seen. "Fallen? Haha, they really have fallen! Good riddance!"
The Beast Ancestor laughed wildly a few times.
Having witnessed it with his own eyes, he no longer doubted what the Lord Changjiu had said earlier. If the Shock Demon Ancestor had perished, then the Dream Demon Ancestor would probably suffer the same fate.
He raised his hand, and a surge of black energy bombarded the Small Universe. Without the protection of the Universe Origin, the Small Universe's membrane was easily shattered by this attack, and countless Chaos currents poured into it, accelerating the Small Universe's great destruction.
" Zhen Jiao, Meng Cha, this is the retribution for bullying me back then! You've both perished, yet the Demon Race still comes begging to me. Since they're begging me, it's time to settle that score from back then!"
After saying this, the Beast Ancestor turned around and left. He easily passed through the membrane of the Primal Universe and entered the Primal Universe. In just a moment, he returned to the valley where he lived.
The Lord Changjiu is still waiting here.
