Chapter 224: Life Gene Level: Secluded Cultivation

"Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, your plan to cultivate in seclusion is also excellent!"

Zifeng Zunzhe nodded quickly and said, "With your strength, Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, if you truly break through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe, your power will likely surpass mine!"

Zifeng Zunzhe's words were not modesty; after all, before he broke through to become a Venerable of the Universe, his strength was merely that of a most ordinary Hei Fengwang Limit expert.

At that time, his life gene level was only twice that of ordinary life in the universe; he possessed no heavy treasures for protection, nor had he created peak-level combat secret techniques...

Moreover, because his cultivation time was relatively short and he had not received the God General inheritance, he could only cultivate the ordinary amplification secret techniques of the Human Race, making his strength even slightly inferior to that of Shi Jia Wang, whom Lu Qingshan had annihilated.

Fortunately, breaking through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe relied on the degree of comprehension of higher-level source laws, and at that time he had already fully comprehended all branches of the Space Source Law, so he was able to break through in the midst of that great battle; one could say his luck was very good.

Only after breaking through to become a Venerable of the Universe was Zifeng Zunzhe able to hold an extremely high status within the Human Race.

Even the God General inheritance, which initially required him to expend great effort to apply for, he could now easily allow his family's descendants to accept.

However, after breaking through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe, many aspects of his being required a vast amount of time to improve.

For instance, his life gene level, his combat secret techniques, his amplification secret techniques, his protective heavy treasures, and so on...

And since Lu Qingshan has now achieved the status of an Invincible Hei Fengwang, he has naturally reached a quite high realm in these aspects; if he truly breaks through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe, his strength will certainly be a notch higher than his current self.

Of course, although Zifeng Zunzhe broke through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe relatively smoothly, he did not feel that breaking through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe was in the least bit easy.

Therefore, although he said with his mouth that Lu Qingshan's strength would surpass his after breaking through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe, in his heart he did not believe that Lu Qingshan could break through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe relying solely on seclusion cultivation.

If seclusion cultivation were truly this useful, then there would not be so many Invincible Hei Fengwang in the Human Race stuck at the final step for endless ages.

Moreover, even if Lu Qingshan truly breaks through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe in the future, his strength will certainly be greatly improved by then.

Thinking of this, Zifeng Zunzhe quickly spoke again: "If Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds you have plans to venture into the Cosmic Secret Realm for adventure, you may contact me again; at that time, I certainly will not let you suffer a loss!"

"No problem!" Lu Qingshan nodded directly and agreed, and after greeting the other Venerables of the Universe, he proceeded to the side of other experts.

The most important guests at this banquet were naturally those with the strongest strength, such as Venerable Yao Guang and others.

There were four Universe Hegemons who came to attend Lu Qingshan's banquet, all of whom had known Lu Qingshan beforehand, including Venerable Yao Guang, Zifeng Zunzhe, the Palace Master of Tian Shi, and Jiu Feng Zunzhe from the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

As Universe Hegemons, their coming to attend the banquet hosted by Lu Qingshan was already a great face for Lu Qingshan; naturally, they would not communicate with others.

By the time Lu Qingshan arrived beside the four of Venerable Yao Guang, they were also exchanging words with smiles.

"Recently, the luck of our Human Race is truly very good!"

Venerable Yao Guang looked at the Palace Master of Tian Shi and Jiu Feng Zunzhe, then could not help but sigh: "Not only did Zifeng Zunzhe appear, but also Tian Shi and you two Universe Hegemons, Jiu Feng!"

"Looking back at the long ages since the rise of our Human Race, such a situation is still very rare!"

"Actually, I just had relatively good luck and was relatively compatible with that Ling Feng God General inheritance!"

Jiu Feng Zunzhe, who was standing aside, quickly said with a smile: "Speaking purely of talent and comprehension, I am far inferior to Tian Shi!"

Although both were Universe Hegemons, Jiu Feng Zunzhe was extremely admiring of the Palace Master of Tian Shi in his heart.

First, the Palace Master of Tian Shi had cultivated for much less time than he had;

Second, his ability to reach such strength now was mainly due to the Ling Feng God General inheritance, whereas the Palace Master of Tian Shi had cultivated step by step through his own efforts;

Third, since someone has now inherited the position of Ling Feng God General, unless the current Ling Feng God General falls, the limit for a Universe Hegemon is Jiu Feng Zunzhe;

But the Palace Master of Tian Shi possesses a special life clone, and is extremely likely to become the fourth top Universe Hegemon of the Human Race in the future; moreover, with that terrifying talent and comprehension of the other party, there might even be a chance to break through to the Lord Realm in the future!

"Jiu Feng, luck is also part of strength!"

Tian Shi Zunzhe said with a smile: "I once accepted a God General inheritance myself, so naturally I know how difficult it is to receive the complete God General inheritance; Jiu Feng, you are able to achieve this, and I am also very admiring!"

"Enough!"

Zifeng Zunzhe, standing aside, raised his cup to invite the Palace Master of Tian Shi and others to drink together, then said with a smile: "You two fellows, stop praising each other! How many years have you cultivated, yet your strength has already caught up to me and my junior brother Yao Guang; where can we find reason to speak?"

In Zifeng Zunzhe's eyes, although the Palace Master of Tian Shi and Jiu Feng Zunzhe had cultivated for a relatively short time, they both possessed very good luck.

Not to mention the Palace Master of Tian Shi who possesses a special life clone, even Jiu Feng Zunzhe, upon just breaking through, obtained three precious treasures for protection.

If Zifeng Zunzhe had not, by chance, obtained Jin Yu Silver Wings, then all his assets combined now would probably just barely be equivalent to Jiu Feng Zunzhe.

After Lu Qingshan walked over, he quickly joined the conversation.

Of course, although he was the host of the banquet, most of the time he just listened to the Palace Master of Tian Shi and the other four speak.

And during this process, Lu Qingshan gained a deeper understanding of the supreme existences in the universe.

Thus, the banquet hosted by Lu Qingshan this time lasted for five whole days, and naturally, both host and guests were fully pleased.

After the banquet concluded smoothly and many guests dispersed, Venerable Yao Guang alone remained behind.

Inside a quiet room within the mansion, Lu Qingshan and Venerable Yao Guang sat together.

"Qingshan!"

Venerable Yao Guang waved his hand and quickly handed a spatial ring to Lu Qingshan: "These are the treasures for improving life gene levels that you entrusted me to purchase!"

"As for that top-tier heavy treasure armor of yours, I traded it to Mu Long Zunzhe of the Universe's First Bank and obtained 175 heavy treasure points; I have already transferred the remaining heavy treasure points to you; as for the other heavy treasure which temporarily has no one needing it, I have placed it back into the World Ring for you!"

"Anyway, since you currently have no need to spend heavy treasure points, just keep them for yourself for now; I will also slowly keep an eye out for you, and perhaps we will encounter someone who needs them in the future!"

"I understand!"

Lu Qingshan reached out to take the spatial ring, then quickly thanked him: "Thank you, senior brother!"

If that top-tier heavy treasure armor in his hand had been contributed to the Race, it would have yielded only 160 heavy treasure points; now that Venerable Yao Guang sold it for 175 heavy treasure points, it was already considered very good.

After all, Mu Long Zunzhe exchanging treasures from Venerable Yao Guang's hand must have been thinking of getting it cheaper than exchanging from the Race's treasure vault.

"By the way!"

Venerable Yao Guang looked at Lu Qingshan again, then asked: "Was that Zifeng Zunzhe who approached you earlier inviting you to explore a Secret Realm?"

"Yes!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then continued to answer: "However, I have already refused him by saying I wish to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Venerable Realm of the Universe as soon as possible!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's answer, Venerable Yao Guang nodded slightly, then said: "You were right to refuse him!"

"The reason that Zifeng Zunzhe invited you was merely to have you use your clone's ability to scout the path for them!"

"And if you carry a heavy treasure to scout the path, once you perish, that treasure will be lost; if you don't carry one, your ability to save your life will be far inferior to that of a Universe Venerable. By then, the spoils you can claim will definitely be very limited!"

"I understand!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly and replied.

"The speed at which Venerable Meng Yue broke through to the Universe Venerable realm is still too fast!"

Venerable Yao Guang quickly sighed softly, "For him, I don't even know if this is a good thing!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Senior Brother, why would you say that?"

"Of course, it is because after Venerable Meng Yue broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, the people close to him were still alive!"

Venerable Yao Guang couldn't help but say, "For a powerful being, this is both a good thing and a bad thing!"

"It is called a good thing because after they reach the Universe Venerable realm, they already have the ability to help those close to them break through to become Immortals, just like the special treasures you previously asked Senior Brother Zi Feng to exchange for you!"

"It is called a bad thing because helping those close to them break through to the Immortal God realm requires them to spend a huge amount of resources; by then, it will be even harder for them to continue improving their strength!"

"Just like Venerable Meng Yue; after he broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, the clan elders, following past rules, granted him one hundred Heavy Treasure Points!"

"If the people close to him had all perished, he could have used these Heavy Treasure Points to improve his life gene level, purchase suitable heavy treasures, and so on. Although he couldn't reach the Mid-Grade Universe Venerable level, he would still be able to suppress ordinary clan Universe Venerables!"

"But Venerable Meng Yue, in order to help those close to him break through, spent a huge amount of resources, so that his current strength improvement is not very obvious!"

"So that's how it is!" After hearing Venerable Yao Guang's explanation, Lu Qingshan instantly understood.

In fact, Venerable Meng Yue can now be considered the weakest Universe Venerable in the Human Clan.

Besides the reason that his breakthrough time was too short and his accumulation was not much, it is also related to the fact that he spent many resources on those close to him.

Next, Venerable Yao Guang reminded Lu Qingshan of many things he needed to pay attention to in the future.

"Alright, I have reminded you of everything that needed reminding; I should leave now!"

Venerable Yao Guang immediately stood up and said, "Since you already have a plan in your heart, then cultivate deeply for a while!"

"Once you comprehend the complete Time Origin Law and step into the Universe Venerable realm, your strength will quickly surpass that of Venerable Meng Yue. By then, adding your ability to create clones, you can be counted as a powerful being of a region!"

"I will!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly and said.

After seeing off Venerable Yao Guang, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to the meditation chamber within his residence, and then took out the precious treasures for improving life gene levels that Venerable Yao Guang had helped him purchase.

"Pity I can no longer improve my own life gene level by fusing Blood Luo Crystals!"

Looking at the precious treasures in front of him worth nearly one hundred Heavy Treasure Points, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "If I could really improve my life gene level to the hundred-fold limit through Blood Luo Crystals and Beast God's Blood, it would definitely save a huge amount of resources!"

Although at that time Venerable Yao Guang only told Lu Qingshan the approximate resources needed to raise the life gene level from twenty-fold to forty-fold, the further along one goes, the more resources are definitely spent; otherwise, with Venerable Yao Guang's strength, he would not still be at an eighty-fold life gene level until now.

Moreover, in the original work, after Luo Feng revealed to Hun Dun Chengzhu that he had become a Black Warrior, Hun Dun Chengzhu actually said the word 'good' three times in a row!

【77】 If Human Clan powerful beings could simply and easily raise their life gene level to the hundred-fold limit without using Blood Luo Crystals, then powerful beings like Hun Dun Chengzhu would not have been so excited upon learning that Luo Feng had become a Black Warrior!

If the powerful of the human race could simply raise their life gene level to a hundred times the limit without needing the Blood Luo Crystal, then even a powerhouse like Hun Dun Chengzhu would not have been so agitated upon learning that Luo Feng had become a Black Warrior!

"Enough, why think so much about these things!"

Lu Qingshan quickly took the treasures in front of him into his hand: "Anyway, the treasures have already been bought, so naturally the sooner they are used, the better!"

Thinking of this...

Hiss!

Lu Qingshan quickly joined his fingers to form a sword and directly cut a wound on his arm.

Among these treasures for improving life gene levels, some need to be fused like Blood Luo Crystals, while other treasures need to be absorbed using other methods...

After Lu Qingshan finished absorbing all the treasures, he also felt the power within his body become much stronger again.

"Blood Luo power, activate!"

Lu Qingshan quickly activated the strange power lurking within his own body.

Buzz!

Accompanying the activation of this strange power, Lu Qingshan's base power, which was originally only one hundred thousand times that of a Domain Lord, instantly became two million times that of a Domain Lord.

"Indeed, a twenty-fold life gene level!"

After feeling the transformation of his life gene level, a smile once again appeared on Lu Qingshan's face: "Although the cost this time was a bit high, and strength only increased by one fold, it is still quite worth it for me!"

"It's just a pity that the Second Clone is an independent individual; although the Body Amplification and Soul Amplification secret arts can be shared, this life gene level cannot be shared with the Original Body. In the future, the Original Body's life gene level must still be improved separately!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan felt another pang of heartache.

Just improving the Second Clone's life gene level already cost so much, let alone adding the Original Body on top of that.

"It seems that having a clone is not entirely a good thing!" Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart.

Fortunately, Venerable Yao Guang is not by Lu Qingshan's side right now; otherwise, if he knew this thought, he would probably make him witness the might of a Universe Hegemon.

After improving his life gene level, Lu Qingshan quickly began to think about his plans for the future.

"With my current strength, if I want to continue improving, there are only two aspects!"

Lu Qingshan lifted a cup of clear tea and took a sip, then planned silently in his heart: "First, create even more powerful combat secret arts; second, comprehend the complete Time Origin Law!"

"But this is not something that can be done in a day or two; after all, the difficulty of obtaining points within the Chat Group is simply too great!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but look at his point balance within the Chat Group: 34,568!

Compared to others in the Chat Group, these thirty-plus thousand points are already considered very considerable.

But for Lu Qingshan, they are not even enough to activate the Dao Comprehension Boost function once.

Although he previously obtained many points after helping Meng Huan resolve that Star-Annihilating Great Venerable, they were all used up.

Now, to activate the Dao Comprehension Boost function again, he naturally needs to continue accumulating points slowly.

"I don't know what the rules are for adding members to the Chat Group! If some new members could be added to the Chat Group, that would be good!"

Looking at his point balance within the Chat Group, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think silently in his heart: "Even if new members cannot be added, raising my comprehension like the first time would also be fine!"

"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now!"

Lu Qingshan put down the tea cup in his hand, then thought silently in his heart: "Even if the Dao Comprehension Boost function cannot be activated temporarily, cultivation must still be cultivated!"

"However, before breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, I had better first raise the level of my secret arts as high as possible; if I can create Ultimate Secret Arts, that would be best!"

It must be known that in the original work, Luo Feng created three Ultimate Secret Arts while still in the Domain Lord stage, and then used them to break through the shackles of the Original Core.

It was a pity that Luo Feng broke through to the Immortal Realm immediately after creating three ultimate secret techniques; otherwise, he might have brought even greater shock to other powerful beings in the universe while still in the Domain Master state.

Of course, Lu Qingshan's desire to create ultimate secret techniques before breaking through was not to shock everyone prior to his breakthrough, but was considered for his own development.

After all, according to Lu Qingshan's own speculation, once he broke through to the Universe Venerable Realm, the points required to activate the Dao Comprehension Support function would surely increase greatly.

At that time, relying on the Dao Comprehension Support function to continue creating secret techniques would surely be much more difficult than now.

Precisely for this reason, he wanted to improve all aspects of himself as much as possible before breaking through, laying a more solid foundation for himself!

"Huff... Let's not worry about these for now!"

Lu Qingshan exhaled a long breath: "I have just comprehended Time Suspension; there is still a long way to go before I fully comprehend the complete Time Origin Law. I should focus on cultivation first!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan soon resumed his journey of secluded cultivation.

The Infinite Divine Sea's avatar simultaneously diverted a wisp of consciousness to the Water Group to acquire points while constantly expanding its volume within the Divine Nation;

As for the Original Body and the Second avatar, both were in secluded cultivation within Chaos City, while also connecting their consciousness to the Virtual Universe to create more powerful sword techniques, movement techniques, and soul attack methods under the guidance of Venerable Yao Guang!
