Chapter 235: The Envious Stretchy: A Name Known Throughout the Universe

"To cultivate to the Lord Realm, besides the most common path of cultivating the Time and Shi Shi Jian Ben Yuan Laws, there is another path: the Beast God Dao of cultivating fused laws!"

Just as numerous thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Venerable Yao Guang quickly continued, "Qingshan, you must have guessed it. The Beast God Dao is the path your disciple Stretchy is currently cultivating!"

Hearing Venerable Yao Guang's words, Lu Qingshan felt endless sighs in his heart.

Even he, a teacher possessing the ability of clones, was quite envious of his disciple Stretchy's cultivation path.

When Stretchy first became his disciple, his talent was not considered strong; after cultivating for nearly a million years, he had only cleared the fifteenth layer of the Heaven Thunder Bridge, ranking merely as an outstanding genius among the Initial Secret Realm geniuses.

If he cultivated for several million more years, there would still be a chance to clear the sixteenth layer of the Heaven Thunder Bridge and break into the Primordial Secret Realm.

However, many geniuses of the Human Race need to undergo life-and-death tempering at the Domain Master level, so after clearing the fifteenth layer of the Heaven Thunder Bridge, Stretchy planned to go to the Outer Domain Battlefield to temper himself.

And as Stretchy was the first disciple Lu Qingshan accepted after breaking through to Immortal, being an invincible Hei Fengwang, Lu Qingshan definitely had to prepare some treasures for him before he went to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Heavy treasures were too precious, and given Stretchy's strength at that time, it would be very difficult for him to protect them, so Lu Qingshan naturally would not bestow them.

But besides that, Lu Qingshan also bestowed many other treasures.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan deeply understood the importance of Life Gene Levels, so after applying to the Human Race, he planned to use Beast God Blood to raise Stretchy's Life Gene Level, who had already become a Blood Warrior, to ten times that of ordinary life in the universe.

This way, Stretchy's ability to protect his life would be stronger after going to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

But later, Lu Qingshan learned from Stretchy that he had fused the Blood Luo Crystal quite easily back then; he simply didn't continue to fight for and fuse more because the difficulty of obtaining the Blood Luo Crystal was too great, so he chose to leave the Blood Luo Continent.

After learning this, Lu Qingshan naturally took out some Blood Luo Crystals first to let Stretchy continue fusing.

Although the wealth required to purchase Beast God Blood was no longer considered very precious to Lu Qingshan at that time, every extra Blood Luo Crystal Stretchy fused would save him one drop of Beast God Blood, so why not do it?

And after Stretchy began fusing the Blood Luo Crystals, his life, which could be called cheat-like, finally truly began.

At that time, when Stretchy fused five Blood Luo Crystals, Lu Qingshan felt quite gratified in his heart, because this at least saved him twenty billion Hunyuan Units;

After Stretchy fused eight Blood Luo Crystals, Lu Qingshan was already very surprised in his heart, because even the 'Blood God' Ba Qi, who appeared on the Blood Luo Continent in the original work and possessed extremely high talent in fusing Blood Luo Crystals, relied on transforming himself with evil qi for a long time before successfully fusing eight Blood Luo Crystals!

At that time, Lu Qingshan thought that if Stretchy failed to fuse the next one, he would even cut corners with the Tian Shi Palace Master guarding the Blood Luo Continent to send his disciple Stretchy to the Blood Luo Continent to use evil qi to transform his body, and then see if Stretchy could finally fuse ten Blood Luo Crystals to become a Black Warrior, a genius rarer than Luo Sha, who appeared once every tens of millions of eras in Human Race history!

But just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind at that time, Stretchy actually fused ten Blood Luo Crystals quite easily, becoming a true Black Warrior.

After seeing Stretchy become a Black Warrior, Lu Qingshan knew he had found a treasure, and then continued to let Stretchy fuse Blood Luo Crystals.

In the end, Stretchy did not disappoint his expectations, fusing a full seventeen Blood Luo Crystals before reaching his own fusion limit.

After this, Lu Qingshan, who deeply knew how rare a Black Warrior was, quickly notified his senior brother Venerable Yao Guang of the news.

After learning this incredible news, Venerable Yao Guang quickly notified Lord Lord Lord Bingfeng together with Lu Qingshan, and then Lord Lord Lord Bingfeng asked Lu Qingshan to bring his disciple Stretchy to see him.

After personally confirming that Stretchy had fused seventeen Blood Luo Crystals, Lord Lord Lord Bingfeng praised him repeatedly, and then directly bestowed upon Stretchy many resources to assist in cultivation.

These included the number of times to comprehend the Heaven Thunder Chaos Stele, Beast God Blood, and the inheritance of the Thunder-Time Beast God Dao, and finally even let Stretchy become a disciple under a Universe Venerable who cultivated the Thunder-Time Beast God Dao.

It was a pity that Stretchy's talent in law comprehension was not very strong; although with the help of these cultivation resources, the guidance of his Universe Venerable teacher, and cultivating the more suitable Thunder-Time Beast God Dao, when he finally broke through to become an Immortal Spirit, he had only cleared the eighteenth layer of the Heaven Thunder Bridge, and his law comprehension was merely equivalent to an ordinary Hei Fengwang at the early stage.

But even so, after becoming Immortal, Stretchy still received great cultivation support from the Human Race; first, he was made to accept the Divine General Inheritance suitable for himself, improving his Body Resonance and Soul Resonance, and then he was even bestowed a precious Beast God Inheritance Token and sent to the Zushen Sect to cultivate.

At that time, Lu Qingshan was still very confused after learning about this matter.

After all, even a Hei Fengwang invincible like Zhen Yan Wang in the original work did not qualify to receive the Beast God Inheritance Token bestowed by the Race, and Stretchy's cultivation talent was slightly worse than Zhen Yan Wang's.

He even went to ask Venerable Yao Guang about it, and only then learned the answer from Venerable Yao Guang's mouth.

It turned out that the Beast God Inheritance Tokens in the Human Race Treasury were merely relatively scarce, but actually not too precious; the value of one Beast God Inheritance Token was roughly equivalent to only five hundred Heavy Treasure Points.

Moreover, the use of the Beast God Inheritance Token was quite limited; only those who cultivated the Beast God Dao were suitable to use it.

Additionally, many Immortal-level geniuses in the Human Race who obtained the Beast God Inheritance Token were not necessarily able to become Universe Venerables, just like Li Yao Wang, Cha Man Wang, and others in the original work.

Precisely because of this, the Beast God Inheritance Token was actually not considered too precious within the Human Race.

And the fact that Stretchy could raise his Life Gene Level to the hundred-fold limit achievable by ordinary life in the universe at a cost of less than ninety drops of Beast God Blood was truly too rare, so even though his law comprehension was weaker, the Human Race was willing to give him a chance.

After all, once Stretchy really broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, relying solely on the hundred-fold Life Gene Level, his strength would already be very powerful.

Moreover, even if he perished, his Life Gene Level would not disappear after being resurrected by reversing time and space.

Furthermore, compared to the huge resources required to raise a Universe Venerable's Life Gene Level to the hundred-fold limit, the cost of a Beast God Inheritance Token was much smaller.

Until now, Stretchy had been cultivating inside the Zushen Sect for over twenty million years, and recently he even cleared the nineteenth layer of the Heaven Thunder Bridge; his combat power in reality was even terrifying, and even without heavy treasures to protect him, he was still much stronger than ordinary Hei Fengwang at the limit.

While Lu Qingshan was sighing in his heart, Venerable Yao Guang continued, "Although the Beast God Dao of comprehending fused laws is a bit harder to cultivate at the beginning, once reaching the Universe Venerable level, it does have some advantages!"

"For those who cultivate the two Origin Laws of Time and Space, after breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, it is already very difficult to receive any guidance; even comprehending the Chaos Stele yields very little effect!"

"Previously, there were Universe Venerables who mastered the complete Time Origin Law and went to comprehend Chaos Steles explaining the Shi Shi Jian Ben Yuan Law, but in the end, there was still not much effect, after all, many of the creators of those Chaos Steles are currently only Universe Dominators!"

"However, cultivators of the Beast God Dao can go to the inheritance place within the Zushen Sect to accept the Beast God Inheritance; its effect is extremely shocking and absolutely provides great help for cultivating the Beast God Dao."

"It is a pity that inside the Zushen Sect, obtaining the opportunity to accept an inheritance is also extremely difficult; besides receiving the next layer of inheritance for free after each breakthrough, obtaining a new opportunity requires fighting with strong ones of the same level, and one must even win one hundred consecutive battles!"

Hearing Venerable Yao Guang's words, Lu Qingshan also nodded silently in his heart.

The opportunity to accept the Beast God Dao inheritance was roughly equivalent to an enhanced version of the Chaos Stele.

In the original work, Zhen Yan Wang was able to fully comprehend the complete Shi Shi Jian Ben Yuan Law and smoothly enter the Universe Venerable realm precisely because he accepted the fourth layer of the Beast God Dao inheritance once.

"Perhaps I can also find a way to go to that Zushen Sect to receive the Beast God Inheritance in the future!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "With the help of my Dao Elder Gan Wu Boost function, once I accept an inheritance, my gains will definitely be much greater than other inheritors!"

Next, Venerable Yao Guang explained some common information among Universe Venerables to Lu Qingshan, which also gave Lu Qingshan a lot of understanding of the Universe Venerables in the universe.

"Qingshan!"

After reminding Lu Qingshan of everything that needed to be reminded, Venerable Yao Guang quickly continued, "Teacher once said that as long as you break through to the Universe Venerable realm, he will accept you as a direct disciple!"

"Now you have broken through, do not forget to go to Teacher! I estimate that since you have become Teacher's direct disciple this time, Teacher should bestow a true Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao!"

"When the time comes, with a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao protecting you, you will be able to travel the universe more safely in the future!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for the reminder; I understand!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

In fact, after Lu Qingshan smoothly broke through to the Universe Venerable realm earlier, his second clone had already been rushing to the location of Lord Lord Lord Bingfeng's Bingshan Palace.

And while Lu Qingshan was rushing to pay respects to Lord Lord Lord Bingfeng, the news of his breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm quickly spread to various powers across the vast universe through various channels.

Inside the palace of the Great Master of Yu Tu, within a virtual world constructed by the Insect Race.

"Master of Yu Tu!" A Insect Race Empress of the Universe Venerable level stood in the palace and respectfully greeted the slender figure on the Wang Zuo.

"Chenxi, are you saying that a new Universe Venerable has appeared among the Human Race, and one who also possesses a clone?" The slender figure on the Wang Zuo asked in a soft voice, her tone carrying endless charm.

"Yes!"

The Insect Race Empress 'Chenxi' quickly replied respectfully: "The Universe Venerable who just broke through in the Human Race is Master Wanjie Wang. tens of millions of years ago, he once killed 'Hongyu' on the Outer Battlefield; at that time, even Qing Tang Wang could not stop him!"

"Oh?"

After hearing the words of the Insect Race Empress 'Chenxi', the voice of the Master of Yu Tu quickly became somewhat low: "If the Human Master Wanjie Wang could kill Hongyu under the protection of Qing Tang Wang, his talent and comprehension must be extremely powerful!"

"What exactly is your intelligence department doing? How could you let him break through to the Universe Venerable realm so smoothly?"

You must know, a Universe Venerable possessing a clone is far more troublesome than a Hei Fengwang Immortal who possesses a clone.

If the opponent were a Hei Fengwang Immortal, it would only require a Universe Venerable skilled in Soul Enslavement to act, and there would be a chance to Soul Enslave the opponent, making it impossible for the Humans to resurrect them by reversing time and space.

However, once the opponent has cultivated to the Universe Venerable realm, Soul Enslavement becomes tens of thousands of times more difficult; even a Universe Master would have no absolute certainty.

"Master of Yu Tu, it is like this..."

The Insect Race Empress 'Chenxi' quickly explained the situation of Lu Qingshan at that time, then continued: "We thought at the time that this Master Wanjie Wang should find it very difficult to break through to the Universe Venerable realm, and since he also possesses a clone, completely annihilating him would be very difficult, so we did not formulate a plan to kill him!"

"But he still broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, and he did so in only a few thousand epochs!"

The Master of Yu Tu spoke in a cold voice: "Is this what you call 'very difficult to break through to the Universe Venerable realm'?"

Hearing these words, the Insect Race Empress 'Chenxi' hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "This matter was indeed a failure of my intelligence department to observe; please forgive me, Master of Yu Tu!"

"Hmph!"

After a moment of silence, the Master of Yu Tu finally snorted and said: "Enough. Your intelligence department recently completely annihilated the Mechanical Race's super genius 'Herman', causing even the Universe Masters of the Mechanical Race to be unable to resurrect him by reversing time and space; that is still a great merit, so this punishment is waived!"

"Issue the order!"

The voice of the Master of Yu Tu quickly rang in the ears of everyone in the entire palace: "Investigate the news regarding that Human Race Wan Jie Zunzhe closely; you must find out exactly how many clones he has and what treasures he possesses, so that the experts of our Insect Race side can gain the upper hand when encountering him!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The crowd of Insect Race experts in the palace all respectfully replied.

Within the territory of the Meng Yao Zu.

In a silent starry sky, flames larger than stars were scattered everywhere, shrouding this void.

And in the very center of this starry sky stood a towering divine temple, the famous Tianlang Hall in the universe.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a huge snake shadow with two heads appeared in the starry sky in front of Tianlang Hall.

As soon as this huge snake shadow appeared, it respectfully prostrated itself on the ground and shouted respectfully: "Master Tianlang!"

Then, a pair of carvings on Tianlang Hall that resembled eyes suddenly blinked, and the entire palace emitted a Boom sound: "If you have business, just speak."

"Master Tianlang, the experts of our Meng Yao Tribe who are hidden within the Human Race have just sent back news, saying that another Universe Venerable has appeared in the Human Race!"

The huge snake shadow spoke in a low voice: "This person's name is Lu Qingshan; before breaking through, he already possessed the strength of a Hei Fengwang, and he also possesses a clone!"

"What did you say?"

As soon as the huge snake shadow finished speaking, a figure of Tianlang bathed in endless flames slowly walked out from inside Tianlang Hall; it was the leader of the Tianlang lineage of the Meng Yao Zu royal family, Master Tianlang.

As soon as Master Tianlang appeared, he looked down at the huge snake shadow prostrated on the ground and said: "Detailed intelligence!"

Hearing these words, the huge snake shadow moved his mind, and a virtual screen quickly appeared before Master Tianlang.

Master Tianlang looked from afar at the various information regarding Lu Qingshan displayed in the three-dimensional virtual projection.

"The ability of clones? Cultivated for tens of millions of years and broke through to the Universe Venerable realm?"

"Once killed the junior disciple of Mie Jin, and also stole many precious treasures?"

After finishing reading the various information regarding Lu Qingshan, Master Tianlang quickly spoke in a cold voice: "An Ye, you have truly disappointed me!"

"For a Human so threatening to our Meng Yao Zu, your intelligence department never took it seriously!"

"Especially recently, the work of your intelligence department has been a complete mess!"

"First, our race's genius 'Spencer' was assassinated by the Human Race, then the Tian Shi Zifeng Zunzhe of the Human Race broke through smoothly, and the Insect Race and Mechanical Race sides also had geniuses break through to the Universe Venerable realm!"

"With your intelligence department acting this way, how can I explain this to our Meng Yao Zu's two Ancestors?"

"Here is what we will do: you will go to 'Shigu Mo Yu' to stay for a while; as for the work of the intelligence department, it will be handed over to..."

Whoosh!

Before Master Tianlang finished speaking, a figure with snow-white fur all over its body and a blood-red vertical eye appeared again before him.

"Teacher!" The newly appeared figure respectfully bowed to Master Tianlang.

Seeing this person appear, Master Tianlang felt slightly surprised in his heart: "Tian Hua, why have you come?"

This newly appeared figure was the strongest among the Tianlang lineage besides Master Tianlang, and also the disciple of Master Tianlang, Zifeng Zunzhe Tian Hua.

Tian Hua Zifeng Zunzhe has cultivated for only tens of millions of years, yet he already possesses the strength of a Universe Overlord; he is also a disciple of Meng Yao Zu, and in the future he is at least expected to become a top-tier Universe Overlord; his talent and comprehension are completely unmatched by the Tian Shi Palace Master of the Human Race.

"Teacher, I have already heard about the matter of the intelligence department!"

Zifeng Zunzhe Tian Hua quickly said seriously: "The breakthrough of that Human Lu Qingshan was completely an accident; it cannot be blamed on An Ye at all!"

"Moreover, if An Ye had not discovered the Insect Race spy who was about to infiltrate near the disciple back then, the disciple would have already perished in the assassination by that Insect Race spy!"

"An Ye has led the intelligence department for so many years and has made great contributions to our Meng Yao Zu; why not let him continue to stay in the intelligence department to atone for his crimes and make merit?"

After hearing these words from Zifeng Zunzhe Tian Hua, Master Tianlang was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zifeng Zunzhe An Ye: "An Ye, since Tian Hua has pleaded for you, I will let you off this time!"

"However, you must remember: when leading the intelligence department in the future, you must never be negligent again!"

"Subordinate obeys!" Zifeng Zunzhe An Ye hurriedly nodded and replied respectfully.

"Good!"

Lord Tianlang continued, "He is merely a Universe Venerable who just broke through. Even with a clone, he poses no great threat to the Meng Yao Zu. From now on, simply focus on gathering intelligence on him!"

"Yes!" Tianhua Zunzhe and An Ye Zunzhe nodded and replied in unison.

Besides the Insect Race, the Meng Yao Zu, and the Mechanical Race, powerful figures from other races across the universe also learned of Lu Qingshan's breakthrough one after another.

If Lu Qingshan's previous identity as the Ten Thousand Worlds King only earned him significant fame among the myriad Hei Fengwang Immortals;

then his breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm now truly made him a supreme powerhouse capable of roaming the universe at will.

In an instant, many powerful figures across the universe began discussing news of him.

"I heard another Universe Venerable has appeared in the Human Race, named Wan Jie Zunzhe, and that he possesses the ability to create clones?"

"How is that possible? Hasn't the Human Race just produced a Bi Hai Zunzhe?"

"Indeed! It is rare for powerful figures of the Human Race to possess the ability to create clones!"

"The news is absolutely correct! This Wan Jie Zunzhe having the ability to create clones makes him far more troublesome than that Bi Hai Zunzhe!"

"Exactly! The Universe Venerables of the Human Race are already formidable; with this Wan Jie Zunzhe possessing clones, he is even more difficult to deal with!"
