Chapter 133: Trampling the Primordial Secret Realm Geniuses

"Teacher Lei Huanwang?"

After receiving the communication request sent by Lei Huanwang, Lu Qingshan was clearly quite surprised, after all he had only just left Lei Huanwang's side.

Of course, although there was some doubt in his heart, Lu Qingshan still quickly accepted the communication request.

"Teacher!" Lu Qingshan, who had appeared in the mansion on Lei Ting Island, looked at Lei Huanwang on the illusory screen and greeted him very respectfully.

"Disciple!"

Lei Huanwang's gentle voice came from the illusory screen: "If you have nothing important, come to my mansion!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Although Lu Qingshan did not know what had happened, he still quickly hurried toward Lei Huanwang's mansion on Lei Ting Island.

By the time Lu Qingshan arrived at the gate of Lei Huanwang's mansion, the mansion's great door had already been opened.

"Disciple, come in quickly!" Lei Huanwang's hearty laughter soon rang out from within the mansion.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan immediately stepped inside.

After Lu Qingshan arrived in the great hall, he soon saw the two Lei Huanwang sitting together and conversing.

"Teacher!" Lu Qingshan walked into the great hall and respectfully saluted and greeted.

"Hahaha…"

Lei Huanwang waved his hand to signal Lu Qingshan to rise, then said with a smile: "Disciple, let me introduce you!"

"This is the super powerhouse of our Heavenly Thunder lineage, Jing Lei Wang. His strength is in no way inferior to your teacher's!"

"Greetings, Jing Lei Wang!" Lu Qingshan quickly bowed slightly and greeted.

Jing Lei Wang was also a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Thunder lineage. When Lu Qingshan had first entered Chaos City back when he was at the Realm Master level, he had also gone to attend lectures under him, and he had even purchased a secret method created by Jing Lei Wang back then, so naturally he was not unfamiliar with Jing Lei Wang!

It was only later that he took refuge under Lei Huanwang's tutelage and began cultivating Lei Huanwang's "Lei Huan Secret Method."

"Little fellow, I actually still have some impression of you!"

Jing Lei Wang looked at Lu Qingshan, his face full of smiles: "I remember you were only a Realm Master back then. When you were in Chaos City, you attended lectures under me, and when you were leaving Chaos City, you even asked Bugeno to deliver a gift to me!"

In fact, for a Grandmaster like Jing Lei Wang, the powerful beings who had attended lectures under him were naturally too numerous to count, so he would not have much of an impression at all.

It was only that not many people had given him gifts before leaving Chaos City, which was why he remembered Lu Qingshan so well.

Thinking of this, Jing Lei Wang could not help but look at Lei Huanwang beside him and say: "Lei Huan, it seems your eye for talent is really good! This little fellow should have given gifts to all of us when he left Chaos City back then. I didn't expect you to be the only one who saw his extraordinary qualities!"

Hearing Jing Lei Wang's words, Lei Huanwang also felt quite embarrassed in his heart.

In fact, when Lu Qingshan first left Chaos City, his performance was no different from that of Jing Lei Wang and the others.

Even though he was somewhat gratified by the matter of Lu Qingshan having someone deliver a gift, at that time Lu Qingshan was merely the most ordinary of ordinary Undying beings, so naturally he would not pay too much attention.

The reason he later took Lu Qingshan as a disciple was entirely because Lu Qingshan, when he was still a low-level Army Master, had broken through the seventeenth island of the Illusion Realm Sea, possessing rather astonishing talent in will. Moreover, he recalled the gift Lu Qingshan had given him when leaving Chaos City, and only then did he decide to take Lu Qingshan as his disciple.

And after he took Lu Qingshan as a disciple, he had originally only felt that Lu Qingshan might have a chance in the future to become a high-level Army Master, and by then, relying on his astonishing will, should be able to match an ordinary Marquis Undying, and would not disgrace the name of Lei Huanwang.

But unexpectedly, ever since taking him as a disciple, the surprises Lu Qingshan brought him had only grown more and more numerous.

First, he comprehended all the essences of the Law of Time Origin, then broke through to high-level Marquis in a short time, and now he has even created a top-tier soul attack secret method within a hundred thousand years.

Each and every one of these things could be said to have earned him plenty of face in front of his other friends.

Thinking of this, a smile could not help but appear on Lei Huanwang's face!

Never mind how he took on the disciple back then, in any case now it was he who had good judgment, a keen eye for talent!

"Disciple, sit!" Lei Huanwang pointed to a seat beside him and said.

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan quickly sat down on a chair beside him.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Lei Huanwang also filled a cup of fruit wine for Lu Qingshan, before looking at Jing Lei Wang and saying: "Jing Lei, I've already called Qingshan here for you. If you have something to say, just tell him directly!"

"Hahaha!"

Jing Lei Wang let out a bold laugh, then said to Lu Qingshan with a smile: "Little fellow, it's like this! The reason I had Lei Huan call you over this time is mainly that I want to invite you to go to the Primordial Secret Realm to serve as the guiding teacher for my disciple!"

"Go to the Primordial Secret Realm to serve as a guiding teacher?"

After hearing Jing Lei Wang's words, Lu Qingshan could not help but be slightly taken aback.

Although this matter seemed quite normal on the surface, he always felt something was a bit odd about it!

Back when he was at the Star level and Universe level, he had tried so many times, and he had not even managed to charge into the End Times Secret Realm, yet now he could actually go to the Primordial region?

Moreover, what he was to take on was the role of teacher for those Primordial Secret Realm geniuses, not their guard army commander, so in terms of status it was naturally much higher!

At this moment, Jing Lei Wang continued: "My disciple is also a genius of our Heavenly Thunder lineage. Although he cannot compare with you, he has now cultivated for several hundred thousand years and has already broken through the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Connecting Tianqiao!"

"??"

Hearing Jing Lei Wang's words, Lu Qingshan was stunned.

Cultivating for several hundred thousand years and breaking through the sixteenth level of the Connecting Tianqiao — although this talent could not compare with Bo Lan, Rong Jun, or even Mo Luo and the others who had appeared in the original work, it was still something most Primordial Secret Realm geniuses could not achieve!

Letting him, someone who had only broken through the tenth level of the Connecting Tianqiao after cultivating for ten million years, do it?

And Jing Lei Wang beside him, upon noticing Lu Qingshan's expression, quickly understood what Lu Qingshan was thinking.

So he quickly explained: "Little fellow, you need not worry! My disciple has not comprehended all the essences of the Law of Time Origin. Although his realm is now comparable to yours, he is still far inferior to you! Moreover, he also uses sword arts. Haven't you already created a top-tier sword art? Guiding him should be more than enough!"

"Also, if you are willing to go guide my disciple, besides the points rewarded internally by the company, it also counts as me owing you a small favor!"

"Hahaha, disciple, a favor from this fellow Jing Lei is still quite hard to come by!"

Lei Huanwang beside him also said with a smile: "Moreover, going to guide his disciple may very well be of some help to your comprehension of the Law of Time Origin. If you have nothing important to attend to next, you might as well go give it a try!"

"In any case, the guidance will be carried out within the Virtual Universe, and it will not affect your work in the transportation department!"

Hearing these words, Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and replied: "Teacher, Jing Lei Wang, this disciple is willing to go give it a try. However, if this disciple's guidance is not good, please do not blame me, Jing Lei Wang!"

In fact, he had originally intended to agree. Putting everything else aside, just being able to enter the Primordial region was already quite good for Lu Qingshan!

After all, back then he had wanted to enter the End Times region but failed to do so. It was only after spending money to purchase a quota for comprehension in the Initial Universe that he managed to stay in the End Times region for a short period.

Now that he had a chance to go guide Primordial Secret Realm geniuses, that was naturally a rather interesting matter.

"Good!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan agree, Jing Lei Wang quickly laughed and said: "Then I'll go see my disciple right now and have him submit the application from within the company!"

Having said that, Jing Lei Wang waved his hand and snatched the half-bottle of Qiyun Clear Dew that was still beside Lei Huanwang, then laughed heartily as he strode quickly out of the mansion.

"This fellow really doesn't hold back!"

Watching Jing Lei Wang's departing back, Lei Huanwang cursed with a laugh, then unexpectedly took out another bottle of Qiyun Clear Dew, and looked at Lu Qingshan with a smile: "Disciple, pay no heed to that fellow. Come keep your teacher company drinking — it's also a celebration for you creating a top-tier soul attack technique!"

"This disciple obeys!"

Lu Qingshan laughed as he stepped forward to pour wine for Lei Huanwang, and said with a smile: "This is the first time this disciple has ever drunk such fine wine. Teacher, you'll have to let your disciple drink a bit more!"

Lei Huanwang, hearing these words, was no longer stingy as he had been with Jing Lei Wang, and laughed: "Disciple, you've truly won plenty of face for your teacher this time. Later, take this bottle of wine with you and keep it for yourself to sip slowly!"

"Many thanks, Teacher!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in gratitude.

Although this bottle of wine was nothing much to Lu Qingshan now, sitting on over ten billion Hunyuan units and several hundred trillion military merits, he was still very happy!

……

Meanwhile, after leaving Lei Huanwang's mansion, Jing Lei Wang quickly arrived at the estate of his disciple Luo Gen in the Primordial region.

At this moment, Luo Gen was cultivating in the training ground within the estate, and was similarly quite surprised to see Jing Lei Wang appear.

"Teacher!"

Luo Gen stepped forward two paces and bowed respectfully in greeting, then asked with some puzzlement: "May I ask what matter brings you here to your disciple this time?"

"I've come this time regarding the matter of your guidance teacher!"

Jing Lei Wang said with a smile: "Now that you've returned to the Primordial Secret Realm, you have the right to choose an Undying teacher to guide you at your side long-term, so your teacher has picked out a very suitable one for you!"

"Guidance teacher?"

Hearing Jing Lei Wang's words, Luo Gen couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

When he had just joined the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle as a Primordial Secret Realm member, he was naturally no stranger to the matter of guidance teachers.

But he had already cleared the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge — could those Marital Domain-level guidance teachers still guide him?

As for King-level guidance teachers, that was naturally even more impossible!

How many King-level Undying were there in the entire human race?

Even a Primordial Secret Realm genius — apart from absolute prodigies like Zifeng Zunzhe, it was simply impossible for anyone else to have a King-level Undying lower themselves to serve as a guidance teacher!

After all, although serving as a guidance teacher at one's estate brought a certain closeness, the relationship was far inferior to that of a true kowtow-apprentice bond!

"Exactly!"

Jing Lei Wang continued: "Your teacher was quite fortunate this time, happening to find a suitable candidate. With his guidance, you would probably fare better than most peak Marital Domain experts!"

Hearing this, Luo Gen's heart stirred, and he quickly asked respectfully: "Teacher, may I ask who this guidance teacher you speak of is?"

"It's Lei Huanwang's disciple, the 'Qingshan Marquis' of the Transportation Department, Lu Qingshan!" Jing Lei Wang said with a smile.

"It's actually him?"

Hearing Jing Lei Wang's words, Luo Gen couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

"Oh," Jing Lei Wang asked with a smile: "You've heard of that little fellow's name too?"

"This disciple's former commander of the guard corps in the Taichu Secret Realm once entered the Initial Universe to comprehend together with that Qingshan Marquis, so this disciple has heard some things about Qingshan Marquis!"

Luo Gen said with some puzzlement: "But as far as this disciple knows, that Qingshan Marquis should have only cleared the fifteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge! Teacher, having him guide your disciple — isn't that a bit…"

"What, you still don't trust your teacher's eye for talent?" Jing Lei Wang quickly asked.

"This disciple wouldn't dare!" Luo Gen quickly replied respectfully.

Seeing the somewhat unconvinced expression on his disciple's face, Jing Lei Wang said at once: "Actually, that Lu Qingshan has long been able to clear the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge — he simply never went to attempt it! Moreover, he has self-created several top-tier secret techniques; even some peak Marital Domain experts might not be able to suppress him!"

"Besides that, that Lu Qingshan has long since fully comprehended all the essences of the origin law of time. So long as he cultivates step by step, clearing the eighteenth level of the Thunder Tongtian Bridge and breaking through to become a King-level Undying is merely a matter of time!"

"What?" Hearing Jing Lei Wang's introduction, a trace of shock could not help but appear on Luo Gen's face.

He himself had walked the path of analyzing the essences of the origin law of time, so he understood just how arduous this path was!

That obscure Lu Qingshan had actually accomplished something even he had never achieved?

"Enough!"

Jing Lei Wang waved his hand and said: "I've already discussed things with Lu Qingshan. Later, submit an application to the company saying you greatly admire 'Qingshan Marquis' Lu Qingshan and hope he can serve as your guidance teacher!"

"From now on, with Lu Qingshan guiding you, you'll be able to avoid some detours when creating your own secret techniques, and might even comprehend a few more essences of the origin law of time before your breakthrough!"

"This disciple understands!" Luo Gen quickly nodded.

……

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan, still drinking with his teacher Lei Huanwang, had already received an email sent from within the company.

The email said that Primordial Secret Realm Domain-Lord-level genius Luo Gen greatly admired him and hoped he could go to the Primordial Secret Realm to serve as the other's teacher.

"Luo Gen?"

Lu Qingshan's mind stirred, and he quickly searched for the other's information through the Virtual Universe.

With his current status, even for a Primordial Secret Realm member, he was able to look up some not-particularly-important information.

"Joined the Virtual Universe Company nearly four hundred thousand years ago as the first-place finisher of the peak Genius Battle. After entering Chaos City, he took Jing Lei Wang as his teacher, and before leaving Chaos City, he had cleared the fourth level of the Thunder Tongtian Bridge?"

Looking at the various data he had retrieved, Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly: "According to what Jing Lei Wang said, this Luo Gen should have started out on the path of analyzing the essences of the origin law of time. For him to have cleared the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge before leaving Chaos City for the first time — that talent is already quite impressive. No wonder he was able to clear the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge within a few hundred thousand years!"

"Is that an application from Jing Lei's disciple?" Lei Huanwang, noticing Lu Qingshan's odd expression, quickly asked.

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded.

"Then go ahead and guide him for a bit!"

Lei Huanwang said with a smile: "But disciple, you needn't worry too much. Although that little fellow cleared the sixteenth level of the Thunder Tongtian Bridge in far less time than you did, his future achievements will most likely fall short of yours!"

"This disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded.

What a joke!

He had already killed several hundred peak Marital Domain experts, and even many King-level High experts' battle records weren't as terrifying as his. Would he worry about guiding some minor genius?

……

After leaving Lei Huanwang's residence with half a bottle more of Qiyunqing Dew, Lu Qingshan quickly replied to an email through the company, the content being that he was willing to serve as the teacher for 'Logan', a realm-lord-level genius of the Primordial Secret Realm.

After receiving the appointment from within the company, Lu Qingshan quickly obtained the relevant permissions to enter the Primordial Zone of Meng Yuxiang Mountain, and then he flew directly toward the estate where Logan was located.

And at this time, Logan had also already brought his new guard captain and was waiting for Lu Qingshan.

"He's here!"

After hearing the reminder from the guard captain, Logan quickly raised his head to look.

He saw a streak of purple-gold flowing light instantly tear across the long sky, then land before Logan—it was precisely Lu Qingshan, who had rushed over from Lei Huanwang's residence.

"This is the Marquis Meixin that the teacher mentioned, who has comprehended all the essences of the Law of Time?"

Many thoughts flashed through Logan's mind, but his outward attitude was still relatively respectful—after all, no matter what was said, this Marquis Meixin had been painstakingly invited by Jing Lei Wang for him.

And at this time, upon seeing Lu Qingshan, the guard captain beside them also nodded quite respectfully in greeting: "Marquis Meixin, my lord!"

"Simmons, we've long known each other—no need to be so restrained!"

Lu Qingshan gave a slight nod to the guard captain 'Simmons', and only then looked toward Logan beside him: "So you are Logan?"

"Logan greets Marquis Meixin, my lord!" Logan said with a slight bow.

Hearing these words, Lu Qingshan understood in his heart.

This Logan should still be somewhat unconvinced of him in his heart; otherwise, he would definitely have addressed him as teacher!

But 'having accepted another's commission, one must be faithful to the task'—since he had already agreed to Jing Lei Wang, he naturally had to earnestly guide this Logan.

As for the other's attitude problem, he only needed to give them a little training!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan gave a slight nod, then said: "Let's go straight to the martial training ground!"

Soon, Lu Qingshan and a few others including Logan arrived at the martial training ground within the estate.

……

"Simulate the scene as a grassland!" Upon arriving at the martial training ground, Lu Qingshan quickly instructed.

Ever since becoming Logan's guiding teacher, he had already obtained the permissions to use this martial training ground.

Hum!

The scene within the entire cultivation ground instantly switched, then transformed into a vast grassland.

"First, demonstrate your current comprehension of Laws and your self-created secret arts!"

Lu Qingshan looked directly at Logan and instructed: "So that I can take stock of your foundation and see how I should guide you!"

"Yes!"

After Logan acknowledged, a blood-colored longsword quickly appeared in his hand.

Whoosh!

Holding the blood-colored longsword, Logan directly transformed into a phantom, exerting all his strength on the vast grassland to perform his incomparably fierce sword art.

For a time, sword light crisscrossed the martial training ground, appearing to have boundless might.

But upon seeing this scene, Lu Qingshan secretly shook his head in his heart, because the self-created secret arts of most of the Marquis-level Immortals he had slain on the extraterritorial battlefield were stronger than this Logan's sword art!

A moment later, Logan directly transformed into a streak of flowing light and appeared before Lu Qingshan: "Please grant your guidance, Marquis Meixin, my lord!"

Looking at the proud-faced Logan, Lu Qingshan could not help but laugh.

"Let's not talk about any guidance!"

Lu Qingshan's mind moved, and a purple-gold longsword likewise appeared in his hand: "How about this—the two of us use the same physical constitution, and you come attack me, using whatever means you like! After we have a bout, you might understand where your shortcomings lie!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Logan's eyes also lit up.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan and Logan stood facing each other in the martial training ground.

Logan even declared loudly: "Please grant your guidance, Marquis Meixin, my lord!"

"Just come and attack!" Lu Qingshan said casually.

"Marquis Meixin, my lord, be careful!"

Before his words had fallen, Logan's figure instantly moved.

Clang!

The blood-colored sword light suddenly blazed to life, incomparably dazzling and resplendent, instantly filling the boundless void all around.

But the next moment, Lu Qingshan merely casually swung the purple-gold longsword in his hand, and the sky-filling blood-colored sword light instantly all dissipated, while the purple-gold longsword also very easily blocked that certain-kill sword strike with which Logan had previously defeated other geniuses and charged into the Primordial Secret Realm.

"This is impossible!"

Watching his certain-kill sword strike being parried with a casual swing by Lu Qingshan, Logan's face could not help but reveal a look of shock.

One must know that his and this Lu Qingshan's realms were clearly the same—how could there be such a huge gap between the two of them?

Thinking of this, Logan once again unleashed his attack.

And Lu Qingshan, as if taking a leisurely stroll, while easily neutralizing Logan's attacks one after another, said with a smile: "Your self-created sword art is truly far too crude—I fear it hasn't even reached the ordinary level!"

Hearing these words, Logan—who had stopped attacking upon seeing that he could not harm Lu Qingshan in the slightest—had his face full of shame and indignation.

And at this time Lu Qingshan then said again: "How about this—you perform the 'Shadowless Sword' recorded in the 'Heavenly Thunder Analysis'. You are a disciple of Jing Lei Wang, my lord, so you should know this one secret art, right!"

"I do!" Logan quickly nodded and said.

"Then good, perform it, and continue attacking me!" Lu Qingshan instructed once again.

Seeing this, Logan—who knew he could do nothing to Lu Qingshan—no longer had his previous arrogance, and quickly performed the 'Shadowless Sword'.

It had to be said that as a genius of the Primordial Secret Realm, Logan's fundamentals were still extremely solid; once this 'Shadowless Sword' was performed, its might was indeed extremely powerful.

But just at this moment……

The purple-gold longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand lightly danced, and he actually performed the 'Shadowless Sword' as well!

Hum! Hum!

Two streaks of sword light traveled through the void, leaving not the slightest trace!

And although Lu Qingshan struck later, his sword light arrived first—after annihilating Logan's streak of sword light, it actually came to a stop directly at Logan's brow.

"That's impossible!"

If Root had merely been shocked when Lu Qingshan blocked his attack earlier, now he was starting to question his entire life.

One had to remember that he and Lu Qingshan were using the same secret technique, with the same physical constitution, and on top of that their realms were equal — at the very least it should have been an even match!

But now…

"There's nothing impossible about it!"

Lu Qingshan spoke again: "The reason your Shadowless Sword's might falls short of mine is entirely because you cling too tightly to its form, while neglecting its spirit!"

"Add to that your comprehension of the fundamental law of time is far too shallow — you haven't grasped its most essential nature. That's why you lost to me! Still, I see your foundation is fairly solid; as long as you're willing to put in hard work, raising your strength shouldn't be too difficult!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Root was briefly stunned, then quickly bowed respectfully to Lu Qingshan and said: "Please, Master, give me your guidance!"
