Chapter 21: Chat Group Upgrade and Comprehension Enhancement

【System Prompt: Detected increased activity within the chat group; the chat group is now upgrading!】

【System Prompt: All members have contributed to the chat group’s upgrade; special rewards will now be distributed.】

【System Prompt: Chat group update completed; the following features have been added…】

【System Prompt: Chat group store has been opened; all members may now list and purchase various items.】

【System Prompt: New members will be randomly added to the chat group in the future.】

Five consecutive system messages directly interrupted Lu Qingshan and the others’ casual conversation.

【Pang Bo: The chat group actually upgraded—wonder if I can now visit the worlds everyone else is in?】

【Yue Buqun: Besides gaining 1000 points, I received a special reward—did you all get one too?】

【Cao Cao: I also got 1000 points; my reward was a world level increase—what about you?】

【Yue Buqun: Mine was a world level increase too—I feel like I’m about to break through!】

Seeing Cao Cao’s messages, Lu Qingshan quickly claimed his own special reward.

【System Prompt: Due to your significant contribution during the chat group’s upgrade and your assistance to other members, your permissions within the chat group have been strengthened!】

【System Prompt: You have received 3000 points; your comprehension has been enhanced!】

After reading the first message, Lu Qingshan felt nothing.

After all, the chat group’s atmosphere had always been excellent, and as group owner, he had never used any special permissions.

But upon seeing the second reward, a flicker of excitement stirred in Lu Qingshan’s heart.

Since his transmigration, his greatest weakness had always been insufficient comprehension.

That was why, after eight million years of cultivation, he had barely become an ordinary Immortal.

If his comprehension had been even slightly stronger back then, he might have joined one of the Five Great Human Factions early through the Peak Genius Battle or Peak Warrior Battle—his cultivation path would have been far simpler, and perhaps he could have unlocked his golden finger earlier, instead of becoming just an ordinary Immortal.

But it’s not too late now!

With the chat group’s help, his cultivation speed was already faster than when he was a Domain Lord; now that his comprehension has improved, his future cultivation path will naturally become easier.

In the Tunshixingkong world, comprehension remains critically important in cultivation!

If your comprehension is poor, breaking through bottlenecks becomes extremely difficult.

Countless powerful beings in the vast universe have been trapped for billions of years at a single realm due to insufficient comprehension.

Like Ke Di and Shi Huo Zunzhe from the original story—they were undoubtedly once-in-ten-million-aeons geniuses of the human race.

Yet even such geniuses could only likely break through to Cosmic Sovereign; becoming a Cosmic Lord remained an extremely difficult feat.

And what about Lu Qingshan?

Even though he had obtained Cantezao Hua Dew from Han Li, if his own comprehension was inadequate, even if the fundamental laws of time were fully revealed before him, he would still find it nearly impossible to comprehend them!

But now it’s different!

In reality, Lu Qingshan carefully sensed his own changes and confirmed his comprehension had indeed improved significantly.

If his previous speed of comprehending fundamental laws was 10, his current speed was now 20—or even 30.

This was a massive boost to his comprehension!

【Han Li: My reward was also 1000 points, but my special reward was different—chat group granted me a comprehension boost!】

【Pang Bo: Me too—1000 points, but my special reward was bloodline transformation!】

Seeing the messages in the chat group, Lu Qingshan felt a subtle stir in his heart.

The chat group’s rewards perfectly matched each person’s situation.

For Cao Cao and Yue Buqun, their world levels were far too low—even if they obtained cultivation resources from Lu Qingshan and others, their power growth would be suppressed by their worlds; thus, a world level increase was ideal for them.

Pang Bo’s bloodline transformation was also a perfect reward, allowing him to forge a stronger foundation from the start of cultivation.

As for Han Li and himself, the comprehension boost was a reward suitable for everyone!

Yet everyone else received only 1000 points; only Lu Qingshan received 3000.

“I’ve been constantly cultivating lately—my activity level in the chat group must be far lower than Pang Bo and the others!”

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: “It must be because I’m the group owner!”

【Cao Cao: After this update, it seems the chat group added a store—we can now upload and purchase items.】

【Yue Buqun: Let me try!】

【System Prompt: Yue Buqun listed “Zixia Divine Art”!】

【Yue Buqun: I just listed “Zixia Divine Art,” but the store currently only has “Zixia Divine Art”—looks like the rest of the items must be uploaded by us.】

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately checked the chat group store and saw only one item: “Zixia Divine Art,” priced at 20 points.

【Pang Bo: So this store is useless—we can just send red packets instead!】

【System Prompt: After the chat group store opened, red packets require points to use; members get one free red packet per month, administrators get two, and the group owner gets three.】

【Pang Bo: Seriously? This chat group is so stingy—even sending red packets costs points now!】

【Cao Cao: This is probably a restriction—otherwise everyone would just spam red packets and no one would use the store.】

【Pang Bo: Ugh! I just checked—I can earn points not only from monthly group rewards but also by increasing my activity here. Guess I’ll have to work hard to post more and accumulate points!】

【System Prompt: Lu Qingshan purchased “Zixia Divine Art”!】

【Lu Qingshan: @Yue Buqun, I just bought “Zixia Divine Art”—did you get any points?】

【Yue Buqun: Group owner, I received 16 points!】

【Pang Bo: This chat group is so greedy—it just deducted 20% of the points!】

【System Prompt: Lu Qingshan uploaded “Heavenly Thunder Analysis,” “Heavenly Thunder Overview,” “Initial Understanding of Time”…】

【Pang Bo: Holy crap, group owner, you’re insane!】

Watching Lu Qingshan continuously upload secret techniques, Pang Bo was utterly stunned.

Even Cao Cao and Han Li, upon seeing this, paused in surprise.

They knew Lu Qingshan was powerful, but they never expected him to possess so many secret techniques.

Especially the prices of these techniques—each was absurdly high.

But they didn’t know that, to Lu Qingshan, these techniques were but a drop in the ocean compared to the boundless vastness of the Tunshixingkong world.

He simply lacked strength and wealth now, so he couldn’t acquire more precious techniques.

【Cao Cao: Group owner, I tried cultivating the cultivation method from Han Li’s world, but failed—probably because I lack a spiritual root. Do you have any suitable methods for me?】

“This…”

Seeing Cao Cao’s message, Lu Qingshan was momentarily stunned.

The cultivation system of the Tunshixingkong world differed greatly from others—it likely wasn’t suitable for Cao Cao and the rest.

【Lu Qingshan: My world’s cultivation system differs greatly from others and requires massive energy to cultivate—it probably isn’t suitable for you. If you want to cultivate, try Pang Bo’s “Dao Jing” or Yue Buqun’s martial arts manuals!】

【Lu Qingshan: If you truly wish to cultivate my system, try this guiding technique first!】

【System Prompt: Lu Qingshan uploaded “Zixia Guiding Technique”!】

【Cao Cao: Thank you, group owner!】
