Chapter 177: Family Chat Group

"Third son?"

Lu Qingshan's mind stirred, and instantly his consciousness returned from the Virtual Universe.

When his consciousness reconnected to the Virtual Universe, he had already appeared within the luxurious palace of the Lu family on Lei Guang Hai Island.

At this moment, his third son, Lu Hongwen, had long been waiting in the palace's main hall.

"Father!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan's figure appear, Lu Hongwen quickly stepped forward two paces and respectfully greeted him.

"Mm!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then directly asked, "Has Wenxuan successfully crossed into the Immortal Spirit realm?"

"Yes, Father!"

Lu Hongwen said with great excitement: "Just half a month ago, following your instructions, Father, I brought the seventh sister to my Divine Kingdom and gave her the Azure Sky Fruit you entrusted to me to consume!"

"After consuming the Azure Sky Fruit, the seventh sister quickly entered seclusion. Just now, the Water Origin Law of the Universe Origin Place descended upon the sky above her seclusion spot. I believe the seventh sister has now successfully broken through!"

And just then, Lu Wenxuan, who had just broken through to the Immortal Spirit realm, quickly appeared in the palace's main hall.

"Father!"

As soon as Lu Wenxuan appeared, she directly prostrated herself before Lu Qingshan, then said with great excitement: "Thank you, Father, for bestowing this supreme treasure to help your child break through!"

Lu Wenxuan was the youngest of Lu Qingshan's many children. When Lu Qingshan first applied for a Boundary Lord-level initial universe contemplation quota, she had been born for less than ten thousand years and was then merely a small Universe-level cultivator.

Later, when Lu Qingshan broke through to become an Immortal Spirit, Lu Wenxuan's status increased greatly, and she eventually married the sixth Imperial Prince of the Star Glory Empire.

And as Lu Qingshan's strength continued to grow, Lu Wenxuan's status within the Star Glory Empire also continuously increased.

First, the sixth Imperial Prince successfully inherited the throne of the Star Glory Empire; subsequently, the couple both broke through to the Boundary Lord level, a state they have maintained for nearly ten million years now.

Just half a month ago, Lu Wenxuan's husband perished due to the lifespan limit of the Boundary Lord level, and she was recalled to the family by her third brother, Lu Hongwen.

Only after everything was arranged properly did Lu Hongwen hand that Azure Sky Fruit into her hands.

And after using that Azure Sky Fruit with its incredible effects, Lu Wenxuan realized that her mother, Karina, and her third brother Lu Hongwen's breakthroughs back then were not merely accidental luck.

She seized this hard-won opportunity, successfully mastered the complete Water Origin Law, and broke through to the Immortal Spirit realm just before reaching the lifespan limit of the Boundary Lord level, thereby gaining eternal life!

Precisely for this reason, Lu Wenxuan at this moment was undoubtedly extremely grateful to her father, Lu Qingshan.

After all, she had lived for nearly ten million years yet had never even heard news of that Azure Sky Fruit. Moreover, back then, her third brother Lu Hongwen had specially brought her to the Divine Kingdom before handing the Azure Sky Fruit to her, and then instructed her to consume it immediately!

Given all this, even a fool could probably guess how incredibly precious the Azure Sky Fruit must be!

"Rise!"

Lu Qingshan reached out and helped Lu Wenxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet, then sighed softly: "Although I prepared precious treasures for each of you to use for breakthroughs, your successful breakthrough is also because you yourself worked hard enough!"

Speaking of this, Lu Qingshan could not help but recall the several children who had previously failed to break through.

Back when he successfully broke through to become an Immortal Spirit, he still had three sons and three daughters under his care.

Among them, the third son, Lu Hongwen, was the eldest and had followed him the longest;

In addition, the fifth son, Lu Hongtu, and the fourth daughter, Lu Wenxiu, had already crossed into the Boundary Lord realm, though the two of them were much younger, roughly the same age as the fifth disciple, Aina, and the sixth disciple, Huo Gesi;

As for the sixth daughter Lu Wenyun, the eighth son Lu Hongguang, his wife Karina, and Lu Wenxuan who was still merely Universe-level at that time, their cultivation time was even shorter!

Because Lu Qingshan had broken through to become Immortal and his strength had increased greatly in a short time, Lu Wenyun, Karina, and others all very smoothly broke through to the Boundary Lord level, thereby gaining a lifespan of ten million years.

Later, when Lu Qingshan went to the Yan Secret Realm on a mission for the Transport Department, he happened to encounter the Yan Di defection incident. By chance, he obtained a precious treasure and used it to exchange with Zifeng Zunzhe for many precious treasures helpful for Boundary Lords breaking through to the Immortal Spirit realm.

At that time, he had exchanged suitable breakthrough treasures for his wife, all his children, and the three disciples he liked somewhat, though the value of the treasures differed slightly.

Among them, the treasure for the third son Lu Hongwen was the most precious; the treasures for his wife Karina and the other children were of equivalent value; while the treasures for the three disciples were far inferior.

Until today, the youngest, Lu Wenxuan, has already reached the lifespan limit of the Boundary Lord level; let alone the others.

Among Lu Qingshan's close ones, only his wife Karina, the third son Lu Hongwen, the fifth son Lu Hongtu, the fourth daughter Lu Wenxiu, and the seventh daughter Lu Wenxuan successfully broke through to become Immortal Spirits after using the treasures.

Besides these few, the seventh son Lu Hongyuan's younger sister Lu Wenyun, and the eighth son Lu Hongguang born to Karina, even after using the precious treasures bestowed by Lu Qingshan, ultimately failed to cross into the Immortal Spirit realm and have long since perished due to the arrival of their lifespan limits!

Of course, merely the smooth breakthroughs of the fifth son Lu Hongtu and others had already made the Lu family the vortex center of the entire Yanfeng Universe Kingdom.

After all, even those extremely ancient Sealed Marquis Immortals, or even Sealed King Immortals, might be able to cultivate disciples who cross into the Immortal Spirit realm, but it is very difficult for new Immortal Spirits to appear within their own families.

Let alone that Lu Qingshan's several children, and even his wife, have now broken through to the Immortal Spirit realm!

To others, this is naturally an incredibly unbelievable matter; some have even guessed that he once obtained precious treasures.

But now Lu Qingshan has crossed into the Sealed King level, has connections with several Universe Venerables, and has been staying in Chaos City cultivating in seclusion, so true strong ones are unlikely to seek trouble with him.

During this period, several ignorant Immortal Army Masters, and even Sealed Marquis Immortals, rushed to Tianlei Star to investigate the secret of Lu Hongwen and others breaking through to become Immortal Spirits, but they were all easily dismissed by Krates!

Of course, regarding Krates' situation, Lu Qingshan had long since reported it to the Yanfeng Kingdom Lord through his grandmaster, Venerable Yao Guang; otherwise, a Meng Yao Zu Immortal of such immense strength acting within the human core territory would surely have been targeted by human strong ones.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Lu Qingshan's fifth disciple, Aina, who joined the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company after entering Chaos City but had not yet comprehended the complete Lightning Origin Law upon leaving Chaos City, actually relied on herself to break through to the Immortal Spirit realm before her lifespan limit arrived.

She has now, with Lu Qingshan's help, entered the Transport Department of the Virtual Universe Company and is working under Huo Gesi, who has already crossed into the Sealed Marquis realm!

Precisely for this reason, Aina's self-reliant breakthrough to the Immortal Spirit realm saved Lu Qingshan a precious Flash Spirit Grass (used by a Boundary Lord-level strong one who has received the Lightning Origin Law's acknowledgment, with a thirty percent probability of breaking through to Immortal, selling price: 1 Heavy Treasure Point)!

"Wenxuan, what are your plans next?"

Coming back to his senses, Lu Qingshan looked at his youngest daughter before him and asked again: "Do you plan to stay in the family, or return to the Star Glory Empire? Or you could join the Virtual Universe Company; I will arrange a suitable job for you!"

Among Lu Qingshan's children who successfully broke through to the Immortal realm, besides the seventh son Lu Hongyuan who chose to wander the universe, the fifth son Lu Hongtu also chose to join the Virtual Universe Company and now works in the Transport Department as well.

With Lu Qingshan's and Lord Heifeng's relationships in place, naturally no one would dare to make things difficult for him.

"Father!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Wenxuan quickly replied: "I want to join the Virtual Universe Company just like my fifth brother!"

For Lu Wenxuan, her children within the Star Glory Empire had not broken through to the Boundary Lord level and had long since perished; although the current Emperor of the Star Glory Empire is her descendant, they are indeed separated by many generations;

Moreover, she has now become an Immortal Spirit; even if she does not return to the Star Glory Empire, she remains the greatest backing for those descendants, after all, the Star Glory Empire's ancestor is merely an ordinary Immortal!

Therefore, she prefers to join the Virtual Universe Company; this way she can accumulate some wealth through work, and when excellent geniuses appear among her descendants in the future, she can nurture them well.

"No problem!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly: "After the Divine Kingdom is completed, you can head to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters. I will arrange everything for you; at that time, you only need to report for duty!"

"Thank you, Father!" Lu Wenxuan immediately bowed respectfully and said.

"Very well, you may all withdraw!"

Lu Qingshan spoke again, giving orders: "As for the matters to note regarding the construction of the Divine Kingdom and after becoming an Immortal Deity, your third brother will tell you everything!"

When the third son, Lu Hongwen, and the seventh son, Lu Hongyuan, first broke through, Lu Qingshan had personally appeared to guide them.

However, now that there are many who break through, with the third son, Lu Hongwen, providing guidance openly and Klesi watching over them secretly, Lu Qingshan is naturally much more leisurely.

"Yes, Father!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's orders, Lu Hongwen and Lu Wenxuan quickly withdrew respectfully from the great hall.

After Lu Hongwen and Lu Wenxuan had left, Lu Qingshan soon returned to his residence on Lei Ting Island.

Compared to the luxurious palace complex of the Lu family on Lei Guang Hai Island, Lu Qingshan, upon entering the Virtual Universe, actually preferred to stay on Lei Ting Island or in the Hong Alliance City; this is also the choice of most Hei Fengwang Immortals.

For them, who have lived countless ages, the probability of those close to them in their weak days breaking through to become Immortal Deities is simply minuscule; thus, as time passed, those close to them had long perished due to the limit of their lifespans.

Those closest to them now are naturally some friends of comparable strength, and the excellent disciples they have taken in over the long ages.

As for the family, it only needs to be maintained so it does not decline; normally, they certainly will not care too much about it!

Just like the passing of the sixth daughter, Lu Wenyun, the eighth son, Lu Hongguang, and many other disciples previously, Lu Qingshan felt no great turmoil in his heart, after all, he had already done what he ought to do!

Among the disciples he took in previously, every single one had been sent by him into the Initial Universe to comprehend for a period of time; this was absolutely an opportunity his disciples had never imagined before!

Even Lei Guang Laozu, who has guarded the Lei Guang Hai Star Domain for countless ages, has only sent four family juniors into the Chaos City to cultivate in total!

It is a pity that although many of Lu Qingshan's disciples were sent by him into the Chaos City to cultivate, only the fifth disciple, Ai Na, successfully joined the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company; as for the talent and comprehension of the others, they were all inferior, none joined the core layers of the Five Great Powers; apart from two who perished on the Outer Battlefield, the rest all perished due to the arrival of their lifespan limits.

It is worth mentioning that after Lu Qingshan's Hei Fengwang banquet concluded, Lei Guang Laozu also sent 'Lei Kesi', the father of Karina, and 'Qing Lan', the Hurricane Domain Master, into the Initial Universe to cultivate for a period of time.

Between these two, Lei Kesi's talent was very ordinary; Lei Guang Laozu sent him into the Initial Universe to comprehend entirely due to the face of Lu Qingshan, who had already stepped into the Hei Fengwang level at that time; the other party ultimately did not break through to become Immortal, and perished due to the limit of his lifespan over a million years ago;

However, 'Hurricane Domain Master' Qing Lan, because his strength and talent were both very good, also joined the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company within the Chaos City, and has now become an ordinary Immortal of the Virtual Universe Company, Gu Lun Branch!

"Everyone's talent and potential differ, and the degree of effort differs; naturally, the final results are also different!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Compared to Hong Wu and others who have not even broken through to the Domain Master level, Wenyun and Hongguang are already very lucky!"

Lu Hongwu was Lu Qingshan's fourth son; because he had not broken through to the Domain Master level, he had perished long before Lu Qingshan broke through to become Immortal!

"If in the future I can become the master of this Source World, perhaps they still have a chance of resurrection!"

After such a thought flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan did not think about it any further.

After all, for him now, there is still a distance before breaking through the twentieth layer of the Tongtian Bridge, let alone surpassing the God King realm to become the master of the Source World!

After greeting Heifeng, the King of the Transport Department, Lu Qingshan arranged for the disciple Huo Gesi to be responsible for receiving Lu Wenxuan, and then began to cultivate quietly again.

However, not long after he began cultivating, the Can Tian Zao Hua Lu on his body was consumed to the last drop again.

"As my strength continuously improves, the effect of this Can Tian Zao Hua Lu is also beginning to become weaker and weaker!"

Lu Qingshan, having stopped cultivating, thought silently in his heart: "After I comprehend the complete Time Origin Laws, this Can Tian Zao Hua Lu will probably have no effect on me!"

In fact, the Zhang Tian Bottle is the first Xuan Tian object in the world of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, born when chaos first formed between heaven and earth; its power is naturally incomparably shocking.

Inside the Zhang Tian Bottle, it not only contains all the Heavenly Dao Laws of the world of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, but even within it there are remnants of Chaos Laws; theoretically, it should have some effect even on an Eternal True God.

However, the Zhang Tian Bottle of the present no longer displays its power; the reason it can still nurture Can Tian Zao Hua Lu is because, before the Reincarnation Hall Master was slain by the Time Dao Ancestor Gu Huojin, he gathered all the power of the Time Laws he had cultivated over long ages into the Zhang Tian Bottle.

Therefore, Can Tian Zao Hua Lu is merely a product of the Time Laws; once Lu Qingshan comprehends the complete Time Origin Laws, Can Tian Zao Hua Lu naturally will not offer him any help!

"However, considering these things now is still too early! I should first comprehend the complete Time Origin Laws!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly connected his consciousness and entered the Myriad Heavens Chat Group.

And within the Chat Group, everyone was chatting idly.

After all, for everyone, the Chat Group Points are undoubtedly extremely important; even if not used to activate the Dao Comprehension Support function, one can use points to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources from Lu Qingshan's hand.

And chatting idly in the Chat Group can increase the quantity of points they receive each month.

【Pang Bo: Meng De brother, congratulations on unifying the world!】

【Cao Cao: Actually, it is mainly due to the Group Master's help! Just the thousand-year Spirit Marrow the Group Master gave us back then was enough for me to train a very powerful army!】

【Cao Cao: The reason it took so long to defeat all the feudal lords was mainly to reduce population loss!】

【Cao Cao: Now it seems, the effect is still very obvious! Apart from the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu resisting stubbornly at the beginning, everyone else basically surrendered voluntarily; even Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Yan of Yizhou returned to the court voluntarily!】

【Pang Bo: So what will you do next?】

【Cao Cao: What else can be done? Naturally, cultivate seriously!】

【Pang Bo: Do you really not plan to change the dynasty?】

【Cao Cao: If I could not cultivate, changing the dynasty and becoming the founder of a dynasty would also be very good! But now I am already able to cultivate; although I have not walked the path of cultivation, the Martial Dao is also possible! According to what the Group Master said, my current strength can at least let me live for five hundred years; this is longer than the entire Han Dynasty combined! Compared to that, what does changing the dynasty amount to?】

【Yue Buqun: Exactly! Not long ago, the Great Ming Emperor personally rushed to my Huashan Sect's base, wanting to invite me to serve as the Great Ming National Preceptor, but I still refused!】

Looking at the chat records within the Chat Group, Lu Qingshan could not help but sigh in his heart.

In the time that has passed, although he has always been focusing on cultivation, in order to obtain as many points as possible, he usually splits a trace of consciousness to chat idly, so he is also very familiar with the changes of everyone in the group.

Among the members in the Chat Group, everyone's fate has undergone changes of varying degrees due to joining the Chat Group, with the changes of Cao Cao and Yue Buqun being the greatest.

After all, any resource they exchanged with points from Lu Qingshan's hand was a dimensional strike against their original worlds.

Among them, Cao Cao unified the world in just over two years!

With the help of resources within the group, achieving this was naturally quite simple for him!

But during Cao Cao's process of unifying the world, the number of people who died due to war was less than fifty thousand!

Even with the help of many resources within the Chat Group, achieving this is also an extremely difficult thing!

As for Yue Buqun, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to developing the Huashan Sect.

It is just that in this process, Huashan Sect disciples occasionally went down the mountain to act as knights and uphold justice; their actions and deeds were simply beyond the imagination of the world.

Among them, Liang Fa, with one person and one sword, directly exterminated thousands of Japanese pirates in the coastal areas.

When the others in the group learned of this matter, Pang Bo, Ye Chen, Xiao Yan, and others all urged Yue Buqun to eradicate the wokou pirates, even explaining to Yue Buqun what the wokou pirates would do centuries later in their original timeline.

Upon hearing these things, Yue Buqun immediately convened the Five Peaks Assembly in his capacity as Alliance Leader of the Five Peaks, and produced some cultivation treasures he no longer needed as rewards.

Motivated by these precious treasures, countless martial arts figures boarded the sea vessels Yue Buqun had exchanged with Lu Qingshan and crossed east to the Wokou Island, and within less than a year, they eradicated every last wokou pirate on the island.
