This is my Divine Kingdom, within the Time Temple.
Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged, with the Purple Gold Kingdom floating in front of him.
One year, ten years, a hundred years—all these years, Lu Qingshan has been studying the Supreme Treasure runes of the Purple Gold Kingdom.
Lu Qingshan valued treasures that could directly enhance his strength.
Although his current strength is comparable to that of the Giant Axe Founder, he has only touched the threshold of the Level 10, and he still needs to use the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique to reach that level. However, if he can fully comprehend the Supreme Treasure runes of this treasure, the Level 10 will be nothing to him.
However, these secret patterns were indeed very complicated, and Lu Qingshan found it extremely difficult to comprehend them.
Time passed little by little.
The First Layer the secret runes was relatively simple, and it only took a few hundred years to comprehend it.
The Second Layer secret runes was twice as difficult and took thousands of years to complete.
The Third Layer, the Fourth Layer...
Each layer of the secret rune is countless times more complex than the previous one, and requires more and more time to complete.
The Fifth Layer level of the secret rune begins to involve suppressing the Universe Supreme Master, and the difficulty increases dramatically. It took Lu Qingshan 100,000 years to barely touch the threshold. The Sixth Layer level of the secret rune has extremely high requirements for the soul level and will. With the willpower of True God Limit, Lu Qingshan spent another million years to finally comprehend it.
The Seventh Layer layer of secret runes is the sum of the previous six layers. It requires condensing the power of the domain into a cosmic projection to suppress the enemy.
This one layer took him tens of millions of years to complete.
Inside the Time Temple, time is accelerated ten thousand times; in the blink of an eye, a hundred million years have passed.
Lu Qingshan opened his eyes again, a hint of joy flashing in them.
After spending a hundred million years, he finally succeeded in comprehending seven of the nine layers of secret runes of the Purple Gold Kingdom...
This is almost his current limit.
The subsequent Supreme Treasure runes weren't something he didn't want to comprehend, but rather they involved higher levels of understanding that he couldn't grasp at the moment. However, seven runes were already enough for him.
Seven layers of secret runes represent the limit of a top-tier Supreme Supreme Treasure! It's equivalent to the full unleashing of an extremely excellent Domain Supreme Treasure.
With a wave of his hand, the Purple Gold Kingdom floated in his palm, radiating a faint aura of power.
"Expand."
He uttered a soft murmur. Whoosh!
A burst of purplish-gold light erupted from his body, instantly enveloping the entire Time Temple. Wherever the light passed, Time-Space seemed to freeze, and everything was under his control.
It seems he is now the Universe Supreme Master.
Everything covered by the Purple Gold Kingdom exists within his Small Universe. Fighting within it is no less intense than the Universe Supreme Master fighting an enemy within their own Small Universe.
Its advantages are self-evident.
"Its power... is no less than that of Level 10."
Lu Qingshan only needed a slight sense to deduce the strength that the Purple Gold Kingdom could unleash. After all, comprehending the seven layers of secret runes of the Supreme Supreme Treasure could also unleash the power of the Level 10.
Even Giant Axe Founder obtained the Divine Axe and studied its Supreme Treasure runes day and night, and even under conditions of good compatibility, he only managed to gain some understanding of the Seventh Layer runes.
Therefore, the Giant Axe Founder was able to easily unleash the power of the Level 9 and, relying on the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, touched the threshold of the Level 10.
That Divine Axe is an extremely excellent offensive Supreme Supreme Treasure. Ordinary offensive Supreme Supreme Treasure don't have seven layers of secret runes; they usually only have around six, and their full power is only at the Level 9.
However, whether it's the sixth or seventh level, you need to fully understand it before you can use it. But the secret runes of the Supreme Treasure are not something you can easily understand. The earlier ones are okay, but the later ones cannot be understood by effort alone.
Law Comprehension, insight, and opportunity—if any one of these is lacking, it may be impossible to fully comprehend the secret patterns within. Otherwise, so many of the Universe Supreme Master, possessing Supreme Supreme Treasure, wouldn't all only be at the Level 7 or Level 8. If they could fully comprehend them and perfectly unleash their full power, even ordinary Supreme Supreme Treasure could unleash the power of the Level 9.
Therefore, for a powerful person, a treasure that resonates with them is of utmost importance. The value of the Giant Axe Divine Axe to him is no less than that of a special type of Supreme Supreme Treasure.
He put away the Purple Gold Kingdom, stood up, and stepped out of the Time Temple.
The Virtual Universe Company Headquarters is located on the mainland at Lu Qingshan Manor.
The waterfall cascades down, its waters gurgling softly. Lu Qingshan sits in the pavilion, still leisurely sipping his fine wine.
"Father."
A gentle voice rang out.
Lu Qingshan looked up and saw Lu Lingxiao leading a boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old into the room.
The young man was dressed in white battle armor, with a heroic air between his brows and a calm demeanor, but his strength was only at the Universe Level 9 Realm.
" Lingxiao, it's been so long since you've visited your father..."
Lu Qingshan put down his wine cup, his gaze falling on the young man. "Father, I dare not disturb your cultivation so easily. I've come to pay my respects today mainly for Xiao Yuan." Lu Lingxiao pointed to the reserved-looking young man in white battle armor beside him and said with a smile, "This is the most talented junior of our Lu Family this generation, named Lu Jiuyuan. Not long ago, he won first place in the Peak Genius Tournament held by our Virtual Universe Company and was recruited by the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region. Today, I brought him to pay my respects to you, Father, hoping you can offer some guidance."
"First place in the Peak Genius Tournament?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
The Peak Genius Tournament is the most prestigious gathering of geniuses in the entire Human Race. Those who win first place are all geniuses one in ten thousand. Ling Yu won first place back then, and in Luo Feng's year, Huo Fire Demon Xinyan emerged, while Ling Yu only ranked second.
After Lu Qingshan killed the Master of Fire, the descendants of the Lu Family gained many benefits. The clan was full of geniuses, and the descendants of the Lu Family of the Maple Leaf Empire could be regarded as a family with good talent in the Ganwu Universe Country and even in the entire Human Race.
Although the Lu Family has many geniuses, this is the first time someone has won the Peak Genius Tournament.
Human Race is now expanding its territory and is favored by the Will of the Original Universe, resulting in an increasing number of geniuses and fierce competition.
In this situation, only someone with strength comparable to Bolan's back then could secure first place.
"Junior Lu Jiuyuan pays respects to the Ancestor."
Lu Jiuyuan knelt respectfully, his forehead touching the ground.
Although it was their first meeting, he knew exactly how powerful the person before him was; he had grown up listening to stories about this person.
"Get up." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Lu Jiuyuan up.
He looked Lu Jiuyuan up and down and nodded slightly.
"Good comprehension, and a solid foundation."
"Thank you for the compliment, Ancestor."
Lu Jiuyuan appeared reserved, but upon hearing the ancestor's praise, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes; after all, he was still just a child.
Lu Qingshan smiled and took out a transparent white bead.
Inside the bead, there were faint patterns of Law of Space flowing within, emanating a subtle pressure.
"This is the Heart of Space, an extremely precious treasure from the Primal Universe. It can greatly enhance your affinity with the Law of Space. Your comprehension is above average, and your willpower is also good, but your aptitude is still somewhat lacking. This treasure can completely make up for your disadvantage, allowing you to maintain your lead in the Primal Secret Region."
After all, he was the first genius of the Lu Family to break into the Primal Secret Region, and he was brought by Lu Lingxiao to pay his respects. Naturally, the ancestor Lu Qingshan would not just send him away with a few words of praise.
He had just looked up information about Lu Jiuyuan. His comprehension was indeed quite good. He was following the path of Water Law and Law of Space laws and had already begun to understand the Space Origin Law. He had chosen the Myriad Laws Chaos Stele and was born on Earth. He certainly had the potential to be nurtured.
"Thank you very much, Ancestor." Lu Jiuyuan was flattered and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Lu Qingshan said calmly, "Entering the Virtual Universe Company is merely a higher starting point. You must not slack off in your cultivation and must set a good example for the other geniuses of the Lu Family." "Yes, Ancestor, this junior will remember."
Lu Jiuyuan respectfully accepted the Heart of Space.
However, he still felt a little disappointed. Although the ancestor had bestowed upon him an incomparably precious treasure, he had not accepted him as a disciple.
As the champion of the Genius Battle and a descendant of the Lu Family, during his thirty years of cultivation in Chaos City, many Universe Country Lord and even great beings of the Human Race secretly expressed their desire to take him as a disciple. However, he did not respond to any of these powerful figures, simply waiting for the day he could pay homage to the ancestor.
In his heart, he naturally longed to be accepted as a disciple by the patriarch, a wish shared by every descendant of the Lu Family in the Maple Leaf Empire.
Not long after, Lu Lingxiao left the manor with Lu Jiuyuan.
"Father is usually very busy and rarely sees the descendants of the Lu Family. You are the first one to receive him. You must remember what Father said."
"Chieftain, I understand."
Lu Jiuyuan nodded.
Then he asked in confusion, "What exactly is the Heart of Space that the Ancestor bestowed upon me?"
Lu Lingxiao laughed, "The treasure bestowed by my father is naturally no ordinary treasure. If this were taken out, even the Universe Country Lord would fight tooth and nail to snatch it." "Even the Universe Country Lord would fight tooth and nail to snatch it?" Lu Jiuyuan took a deep breath, utterly shocked. What kind of existence were the Universe Country Lord? The treasures bestowed by the ancestor were far too precious.
"Why didn't the ancestor accept me as his disciple after giving me such a precious treasure?"
Lu Jiuyuan felt somewhat regretful.
My father has high standards.
Lu Lingxiao shook his head, "You're only at the Universe Level now, which is too weak for your father. You are a descendant of the Lu Family. When you become Universe Venerable in the future, you may have a chance to become your father's disciple."
" Universe Venerable, I will do my best!"
Lu Jiuyuan took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
Lu Lingxiao glanced at him and suddenly said, " Lu Jiuyuan, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"Chief?"
Lu Jiuyuan was taken aback.
"What, you don't want to?"
Lu Lingxiao smiled and said, "Although I am not as powerful as my father, I am still Universe Venerable. Guiding you, a mere Universe Level being, is more than enough." "Willing! This disciple is willing!"
Lu Jiuyuan immediately knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times.
"Good."
Lu Lingxiao nodded in satisfaction, "From this day forward, you are my disciple, Lu Lingxiao. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have regarding cultivation."
"Yes, teacher!"
Lu Jiuyuan stood up, his eyes filled with excitement. Although he hadn't been accepted as a disciple by the ancestor, being accepted as a disciple by the clan leader was still an extremely fortunate thing for him.
Although the clan leader is Universe Venerable, it is said that he has never accepted a single disciple in all these years.
He became an apprentice, so he became the eldest disciple.
Seeing Lu Jiuyuan's excited expression, Lu Lingxiao shook his head slightly.
Since that incident, he has not accepted any disciples. If Lu Jiuyuan had not been a descendant of the Lu Family of their Maple Leaf Empire, and had not just been personally inspected by his father, he would not have dared to accept him as a disciple.
