Chapter 199: Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia: Venerable Yao Guang's Promise

On the other side...

After leaving the residence of his grandmaster, Venerable Yao Guang, Lu Qingshan quickly sold all the treasures he had just obtained through channels within the Hong Alliance, and then repaid the entire sum he had borrowed from Hearing Qingping Wang during the previous Super Auction.

After repaying the money, Lu Qingshan chatted casually with Hearing Qingping Wang for a moment before taking his leave.

For the time being, he had decided to focus on secluded cultivation and strive to fully comprehend Time Suspension as soon as possible.

However, just as his main body within the Chaos City was about to enter seclusion for cultivation, a figure clad in silver, ancient armor suddenly appeared outside the gate of his residence in Chaos City.

The visitor was none other than Venerable Yao Guang!

"Grandmaster?" Upon seeing Venerable Yao Guang outside the residence, Lu Qingshan quickly came out to greet him, though his expression was slightly stunned.

After all, he had only just left Venerable Yao Guang's residence not long ago, so the grandmaster personally coming to see him in the real world naturally left him extremely surprised.

Moments later, inside the living room of Lu Qingshan's residence.

Venerable Yao Guang sat on a soft sofa looking at Lu Qingshan, while Lu Qingshan stood respectfully to the side.

"Qingshan!" Venerable Yao Guang spoke.

"Grandmaster!" Lu Qingshan listened respectfully.

"Your current strength is not much weaker than your master's!"

Venerable Yao Guang smiled and said, "If you include material attacks, you are already enough to match your master evenly!"

"Disciple has not yet fully comprehended Time Suspension and is still far behind compared to my master!" Lu Qingshan quickly said respectfully.

"You are too modest!"

Venerable Yao Guang smiled and said, "I have always kept your performance in my eyes!"

"When your master fully comprehended Time Suspension back then, I once bestowed upon him a heavy treasure, but unfortunately he perished later, and that heavy treasure was lost!"

Hearing these words, Lu Qingshan finally understood.

He had been cultivating under his grandmaster Venerable Yao Guang for a long time, so he had a certain understanding of the many disciples under Venerable Yao Guang.

Among the many disciples under Venerable Yao Guang, nineteen are still alive, including eleven Hei Fengwang Immortals and eight Fenghou Immortals.

Among the many Hei Fengwang Immortals, only three have broken through the twentieth layer of the Tongtian Bridge; the strength of Lu Qingshan's master, Lei Huanwang, is the strongest among these three Hei Fengwang Immortals, and he was also the most valued by Venerable Yao Guang.

However, as far as Lu Qingshan knows, one of the disciples who broke through the twentieth layer of the Tongtian Bridge possesses a heavy treasure bestowed by Venerable Yao Guang.

Originally, Lu Qingshan thought Venerable Yao Guang was biased and had not bestowed a heavy treasure upon his master Lei Huanwang, but he never expected that his master Lei Huanwang had lost the heavy treasure due to his perishing.

Moreover, judging from what Venerable Yao Guang just said, it seems another uncle who broke through the twentieth layer of the Tongtian Bridge was also once bestowed a heavy treasure, and presumably lost it as well!

"But why does Grandmaster suddenly tell me these things?"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Could it be that he also intends to bestow a heavy treasure upon me?"

At this moment, Venerable Yao Guang's voice sounded again: "Although you have not yet broken through the twentieth layer of the Tongtian Bridge, your strength is already not inferior to your master's, so I intend to bestow a heavy treasure upon you as well!"

As soon as the words fell, Venerable Yao Guang waved his hand, and an ancient armor appeared before Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan looked up and saw that this ancient armor was about three meters tall, entirely purple-gold in color, with countless purple secret patterns flowing faintly on its surface; in its central position, there was also a faintly visible dragon-shaped shadow, as if it had existed for an incredibly long age, emitting an aura that was both infinitely vast and terrifyingly heart-pounding.

"This heavy treasure armor is quite precious, even dozens of times more valuable than the Purple Lei Tianyi Sword you use!"

Venerable Yao Guang said seriously: "With the help of this armor, I believe you will be able to be safer when venturing in the Foreign Battlefield!"

"Dozens of times more valuable than the Purple Lei Tianyi Sword?"

After hearing Venerable Yao Guang's words, Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

Although his Purple Lei Tianyi Sword was merely an ordinary heavy treasure, if contributed to the Human Race's treasure vault, it would at least earn 0.5 heavy treasure points.

If this heavy treasure armor is dozens of times more valuable than the Purple Lei Tianyi Sword, then its value must be at least over ten heavy treasure points!

For a universe hegemon like Venerable Yao Guang, ten heavy treasure points indeed meant nothing.

But he, Lu Qingshan, was merely the grandson-disciple of Venerable Yao Guang, and in terms of relationship, he naturally could not compare to a true master-disciple bond.

That Venerable Yao Guang was willing to bestow such a precious treasure upon her was already extremely kind to him!

"This heavy treasure armor is of the Thunder attribute, which fits you extremely well." Venerable Yao Guang gestured for Lu Qingshan to accept the heavy treasure.

"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Lu Qingshan said with great gratitude.

Why had he previously wanted to avoid those top-tier experts in the Foreign Battlefield?

First, because his strength was not yet too strong, and if he encountered those soulless top-tier experts, he would easily be trampled;

Second, his material defense was not particularly strong; if he faced those top-tier experts burning their divine power to fight him desperately, once he could not use his weapon to block the attacks, the power would immediately reach the limit of the Golden Silk Dark Cloud Armor!

But now, with this heavy treasure armor, he no longer had to worry about such a situation occurring!

You see, in the original story, why was Luo Feng able to withstand the self-detonation of a Hei Fengwang Limit expert with the body of a Domain Lord?

Was it not because the Shi Wu Wings and the Yan Shen Clan Armor combined to weaken the self-detonation power to one-thousandth of its original?

Although this heavy treasure armor was far from as precious as the Shi Wu Wings, as a heavy treasure specifically used for defense, its effect must be extremely astonishing!

Seeing Lu Qingshan accept this treasure, Venerable Yao Guang continued to introduce: "This heavy treasure armor is named 'Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia', and was personally forged by Huoshen Zifeng Zunzhe, a master artificer of our Human Race!"

"For such ordinary heavy treasure armor, once one fully comprehends the corresponding lower-level Origin Laws, one can unleash its full power, weakening any power not exceeding its tolerance limit to one-hundredth of the original! If the power exceeds its tolerance limit, its effect will be greatly diminished!"

"Of course, this heavy treasure armor is also quite precious, so its tolerance limit is relatively high; even a general Universe Zifeng Zunzhe burning their divine power for a full-force strike cannot reach its tolerance limit, let alone those Hei Fengwang-level little ones!"

Hearing these words, Lu Qingshan's heart was also quite happy.

This Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia was absolutely the treasure he needed most at this stage; originally, he had planned to accumulate more wealth and then find a way to obtain a heavy treasure armor, but he never expected Venerable Yao Guang to directly bestow one upon him.

With this heavy treasure armor, once he perfects other aspects, he will be a Hei Fengwang-level invincible combat power!

"I came to find you this time."

Venerable Yao Guang continued: "First, to hand this heavy treasure to you; second, to give you a promise!"

"A promise?" Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

Venerable Yao Guang then continued: "Qingshan, your talent and opportunities are quite good, so I originally intended to take you as my disciple after you broke through the twentieth layer of the Tongtian Bridge!"

"But now that your will has broken through, and even when accepting the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance you displayed such potential, taking you as my disciple now would be a waste of your talent!"

"Therefore, I give you a promise here: as long as you can raise your Law comprehension to the level of the twentieth layer of the Tongtian Bridge and create a peak-level combat secret technique, I will recommend you to my master and ask my master to take you as a disciple!"

"Great-Great-Grandmaster?" Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

When he resurrected his sixth son, Lu Hongyuan, back then, he had personally seen the Great-Great-Grandmaster, Master Bingfeng Zhi.

"Indeed!"

Venerable Yao Guang immediately said, "My teacher is a supreme powerhouse within our Virtual Universe Company lineage. Among the four Universe Masters of our lineage, only the Hun Dun Chengzhu's strength can surpass my teacher's. The Long Xing Zhi Zhu's strength is equal to my teacher's. As for the You Hou Zhi Zhu, although his strength is also very formidable, there is still a very long distance between him and my teacher!"

"Four?" Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

However, after a moment's thought, he understood again.

Although the Virtual Universe Company lineage has another one whose strength is comparable to the Hun Dun Chengzhu, the Dark Lord, this information is top secret within the Human Race. Even the Universe Hegemons cannot know it. It is extremely normal that Venerable Yao Guang does not know!

And Venerable Yao Guang continued, "Among the many disciples under my teacher, most are Universe Venerables. There are only two Immortal Gods, and both possess the strength of a Hei Fengwang!"

"Although you possess a clone, you must at least comprehend Time Stop, and then create a peak-level combat secret technique before I can recommend you to my teacher!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan nodded and agreed hurriedly.

And Venerable Yao Guang said again, "As long as you can become a disciple under my teacher, once you break through to the Universe Venerable realm, you will become my teacher's direct disciple. At that time, my teacher will naturally bestow many resources upon you."

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan's heart stirred.

This is the difference between having a background and not having one!

Among the many Universe Venerables of the Human Race, most have not been able to become disciples under a Universe Master, so they can only work hard to accumulate resources.

If Lu Qingshan had not received the attention of his grand-teacher Venerable Yao Guang, he would surely be in this situation in the future!

But once one can become a disciple under a Universe Master, even if the other party merely bestows something casually, it can greatly increase one's strength!

And this promise Venerable Yao Guang is now giving Lu Qingshan is undoubtedly such a precious opportunity!

"Thank you, Grand-Teacher, for planning this for your disciple!" Lu Qingshan said gratefully immediately.

It must be known that wanting to become a disciple under a Universe Master is absolutely a very difficult matter; otherwise, the Universe Venerables of the Human Race would not mostly lack teachers at the Universe Master level.

And for Venerable Yao Guang to give him such a promise, it looks very simple, but in reality, it requires a lot of thought and effort.

Precisely because of this, Lu Qingshan is so grateful to Venerable Yao Guang.

It must be said that Lu Qingshan's growth to his current state along the way is absolutely inseparable from the help of many teachers and seniors.

Like that teacher within the Yanfeng Holy Land, like Lei Huanwang, like Zifeng Zunzhe, like Yin Ying Junzhu, like Venerable Yao Guang, and so on...

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's grateful words, Venerable Yao Guang laughed heartily immediately, "You are a powerhouse of my lineage. Naturally, I hope your strength becomes stronger and stronger!"

"Moreover, when your strength becomes powerful in the future, you might even be able to help me!"

"Disciple will definitely strive!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly promised.

"Hahaha, then I will be waiting for that day!"

Venerable Yao Guang said again with a smile, "Alright, everything I needed to tell you this time has been explained. I should leave now!"

"You should cultivate well next, striving to comprehend Time Stop and create a peak-level combat secret technique as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan said very seriously.

After seeing Venerable Yao Guang off, Lu Qingshan finally had time to familiarize himself with the Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia that Venerable Yao Guang had just given him.

After dividing a wisp of divine power to complete the master-acceptance, a lot of information was quickly transmitted into Lu Qingshan's mind from this heavy treasure armor.

This Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia has only one form. It only requires completely comprehending the Lightning Origin Law to unleash its full power, which is to weaken the power of attacks within the range it bears to one percent of the original!

After fully familiarizing himself with this newly acquired heavy treasure armor, Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart, "It is a pity that this Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia does not have a second form!"

But after a moment's thought, he felt he was too greedy.

If this Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia really had a second form, it would absolutely be able to enter the top-tier heavy treasure level;

And if it had a third form, it would be enough to enter the Supreme Treasure level!

He is now just a small Hei Fengwang Immortal. For Venerable Yao Guang to give him a heavy treasure armor is already a very rare thing; how could he possibly give him a top-tier heavy treasure?

It must be known that even Hearing Qingping Wang, a Hei Fengwang Immortal who has lived for endless years and has always served under Yin Ying Junzhu, has not yet obtained a heavy treasure armor to this day!

Of course, Hearing Qingping Wang possesses a soul-type heavy treasure capable of increasing the power of his soul attacks, which is indeed more precious than the Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia in Lu Qingshan's hands!

After familiarizing himself with the Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia, Lu Qingshan quickly handed this heavy treasure armor to his second clone, who was roaming the Outer Battlefield, replacing the Golden Silk Dark Cloud Armor he had been using before.

But even relying on the Lei Long Zhen Tian Jia to possess astonishing defensive capabilities, Lu Qingshan's second clone was quite low-key when roaming the Outer Battlefield.

Except for finding some powerful beings who had created peak secret techniques to fight every once in a while, Lu Qingshan rarely sought trouble with other powerful beings at other times.

The reason he fought those powerful beings who created peak secret techniques was, first, to continue tempering himself, and second, to enslave these Hei Fengwang Immortals with greater potential.

Of course, these can only be considered trivial matters for Lu Qingshan. Most of his energy is now focused on his main body comprehending the Time Origin Law within the Hun Dun Cheng.

Just like that, time passed not short, and Lu Qingshan's several clones each performed their duties, constantly improving their own strength.

In the blink of an eye, several million years had passed again!

During this period, Lu Qingshan had also accumulated enough points to activate the Dao Comprehension Boost function again.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to comprehend the Tian Lei Hun Dun Bei, and then comprehend the ability of Time Stop in one go.

But unfortunately, as his strength continued to improve, the gains from comprehending the Tian Lei Hun Dun Bei became weaker and weaker.

Even with the Dao Comprehension Boost function activated, he still could not comprehend the ability of Time Stop during the process of comprehending the Tian Lei Hun Dun Bei.

Of course, although the effect of the Tian Lei Hun Dun Bei had weakened, the Dao Comprehension Boost function was still as heaven-defying as ever.

So with the help of the Dao Comprehension Boost function, he also had huge gains; at the very least, he was one step closer to success.

Virtual Universe, Lei Ting Island, halfway up the mountain, within the training ground of Venerable Yao Guang's residence.

At this moment, the scene inside the training ground was simulated into a vast grassland, and Lu Qingshan was standing opposite a strange life form over five meters tall with eight arms on its body.

This strange life form was the thousandth opponent Lu Qingshan encountered when he created his first peak sword technique, a special life form, the Eight-Armed Demon Worm!

As a special life form, the Eight-Armed Demon Worm is extremely rare in the vast universe. Even many powerful beings who have lived for endless years within the Human Race have never seen an Eight-Armed Demon Worm with their own eyes.

The Eight-Armed Demon Worm's techniques are extremely bizarre; its eight arms seem like a single entity, attacking like a violent storm, and when defending, it is impenetrable even to water!

Until today, Lu Qingshan had been fighting the opponent for over twenty thousand years, yet he still had not been able to defeat them.

Hoo!

The Eight-Armed Demon Worm moved instantly, its eight arms waving wildly, as if wielding war blades carrying overwhelming might.

"Still the same old tricks, not a single new move!"

Lu Qingshan sneered, then immediately raised his long sword and charged forward.

Cling! Cling! Cling!

Although Lu Qingshan held only a single long sword, facing the Eight-Armed Demon Worm's eight arms that were like war blades, he remained completely at ease, even counterattacking from time to time.

However, the Eight-Armed Demon Worm did not forget to defend while attacking; even with Lu Qingshan's strength, he could not break through the opponent's defense.

In just a brief moment, Lu Qingshan had already exchanged hundreds of blows with the Eight-Armed Demon Worm.

Lu Qingshan had expected this battle to end like the countless battles before, but just then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck his mind!

Then...

Whoosh!

A sword light resembling Lei Ting suddenly flared, and before the Eight-Armed Demon Worm could react, it pierced its heart from an utterly inconceivable angle!

Pfft!

The Eight-Armed Demon Worm's heart was pierced, and it instantly lost all traces of life.

"Did I succeed?"

Looking at the fallen corpse of the Eight-Armed Demon Worm, Lu Qingshan felt slightly dazed in his heart.

After all, in the past twenty thousand-plus years, he had long since lost to this Eight-Armed Demon Worm countless times; the best outcome was merely to hold his own against the opponent.

And now...

"Hahaha..."

Lu Qingshan immediately laughed aloud: "After endless ages, I have finally created the first peak-level combat secret technique!"

"With this first technique, the second one to follow, and the third one in the future, will be much simpler!"

Even as Lu Qingshan sighed in his heart, a call suddenly reached the ears of his main body, who was cultivating in seclusion within the Chaos City!
