Chapter 236: Personal Disciple, Astonishing Resources

In the Dark Universe, a blood-red triangular spaceship vibrated slightly, and then quickly shuttled back into the Primordial Universe.

And in the spaceship control room, Lu Qingshan, wearing dark gold battle armor, was looking at the scene outside through the external simulation.

He saw that directly in front of the spaceship, there was an incomparably majestic palace, which was the Ice Mountain Palace stationed by the Lord of Ice Peak.

The Ice Mountain Palace was imposing and had a unique shape; the whole thing looked like a majestic ice mountain.

What was different from Lu Qingshan's last visit was that there were countless ice crystals circling around the Ice Mountain Palace at this moment, which looked very gorgeous.

And the Ice Mountain Palace, surrounded by countless ice crystals, was not affected in any way.

"I didn't expect to encounter these God-Slaying Ice Crystals again this time!"

Looking at the endless ice crystals in front, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh.

The ice crystals in front looked gorgeous, but their actual power was extremely terrifying; even if a Marquis Immortal touched them, they would be instantly frozen and completely lose their vitality.

Lu Qingshan didn't encounter them when he first came here; it was only when he later brought his disciple Strechi to see the Lord of Ice Peak with Venerable Venerable Yao Guang that he encountered them.

However, Lu Qingshan didn't care at all, because these God-Slaying Ice Crystals posed no threat to him at this moment.

With a thought, Lu Qingshan quickly left the cosmic spaceship and appeared in the void not far from the Ice Mountain Palace.

"Disciple requests an audience with the teacher!" Lu Qingshan stood in the void and shouted respectfully.

Boom!

As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, the surrounding space-time twisted, and then Lu Qingshan appeared in a vast space.

And in front of Lu Qingshan, there was a tall figure sitting cross-legged and shrouded in chaotic airflow, which was the Lord of Ice Peak.

"Disciple pays respects to the teacher!" Lu Qingshan quickly knelt down respectfully.

Swish!

The Lord of Ice Peak quickly stood up, and those eyes that one dared not look directly at looked directly at Lu Qingshan: "Get up!"

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly, and then flashed to appear in front of Lu Qingshan, and even his body size became much smaller: "Qingshan, originally the teacher only felt that you had a certain opportunity to break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm. I didn't expect that you would give the teacher such a big surprise, stepping into the Cosmic Venerable realm after cultivating for such a short time!"

At this moment, the Lord of Ice Peak looked at Lu Qingshan seriously, and the expression on his face was also quite satisfied.

He was willing to take Lu Qingshan as a disciple back then, firstly because of the recommendation of his disciple Venerable Yao Guang, and secondly because Lu Qingshan possessed the ability of a clone, which was quite rare in the human race.

But he was not very satisfied with Lu Qingshan's cultivation speed in law comprehension.

In his view, Lu Qingshan might have the opportunity to master the three major branches of the Time Origin Law after cultivating for tens of millions of years, but wanting to take that final step and become a Cosmic Venerable would be relatively difficult.

But now Lu Qingshan had broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm so quickly, which indeed made him quite surprised, and even a little happy.

After hearing the words of the Lord of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan also quickly said: "Teacher, the reason why the disciple was able to break through so quickly is actually thanks to the serious guidance of Senior Brother Venerable Yao Guang!"

"Qingshan, you are too humble!"

The Lord of Ice Peak said with a smile: "Doesn't the teacher know Venerable Yao Guang's ability?"

"If his guidance could easily make people break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, then his status in our human race would probably exceed the teacher's!"

"The fact that you were able to break through so quickly is also your own opportunity!"

Having said this, the Lord of Ice Peak looked at Lu Qingshan again, and then said solemnly: "From today on, you are the twenty-second personal disciple under my command."

"Disciple pays respects to the teacher!" Lu Qingshan quickly knelt down again.

The Lord of Ice Peak looked at Lu Qingshan kneeling in front of him, and also felt quite emotional.

Among his many disciples, many were taken in before they became Immortals, and some were taken in when they were Immortal Spirits. Only two had become his personal disciples after becoming Cosmic Venerables like Lu Qingshan.

"Get up." The Lord of Ice Peak quickly said again.

Lu Qingshan stood up quickly.

"Including you, there are 22 disciples under the teacher's command, four of whom have already fallen, and even if the teacher possesses the ability to reverse time and space, they cannot be resurrected!"

The Lord of Ice Peak continued quickly: "Among these seventeen senior brothers and sisters of yours who are still alive, fifteen have already stepped into the Cosmic Venerable realm, and only two are still Peak Kings. You should have already met them all these years!"

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

Although he was only a registered disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak before, with the help of Venerable Venerable Yao Guang and Venerable Master Zifeng, he had long since become quite familiar with the other disciples under the Lord of Ice Peak, and those disciples of the Lord of Ice Peak did not have any slight against him because of his status as a registered disciple.

"You are still young now!"

The Lord of Ice Peak continued: "You possess the ability of a clone. If you can continue to maintain such a cultivation speed, you will still have the opportunity to possess the strength of a Cosmic Overlord level like Venerable Yao Guang and Master Zifeng in the future!"

Wanting to possess the strength of a Cosmic Overlord level, one needs relatively high law comprehension; secondly, one needs many precious resources to improve one's own life gene level, to exchange for suitable protective treasures, etc...

These two conditions, no matter which one you want to achieve, are extremely difficult.

So even among the many disciples under the Lord of Ice Peak, only three possess the strength of a Cosmic Overlord.

But in the eyes of the Lord of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan at this moment undoubtedly already had such potential.

For one, Lu Qingshan possesses a clone, so it must be easier to accumulate resources than other powerhouses;

Secondly, now that Lu Qingshan has broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm after cultivating for tens of millions of years, after the accumulation of long years in the future, it should not be a problem to raise his law comprehension to the high-level Venerable realm!

"Of course, although you have such potential, the more important thing is to continue to cultivate hard and not have any slack!"

The Lord of Ice Peak continued: "You did very well before, and I hope you will continue to do so after becoming a Cosmic Venerable!"

"Disciple will definitely cultivate hard and will never fail your teaching, teacher!" Lu Qingshan quickly said respectfully.

"Hmm!"

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly, and then continued: "You have broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm this time. According to the rules of our human race, you can receive a bestowal of one hundred treasure points!"

"I have already raised your permissions, and you will receive news from the high-level powerhouses of the race later!"

"Many powerhouses of our human race, after breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, will rely on these one hundred treasure points to quickly improve their own strength. I hope you will not fail this good intention of the race!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly and respectfully.

"Of course..."

The Lord of Ice Peak looked at Lu Qingshan and then said with a smile: "Qingshan, you are the teacher's personal disciple. After breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm this time, the teacher will naturally bestow some protective treasures upon you!"

"The treasures are finally coming!" Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and then he began to look forward to it incomparably.

His main purpose in coming to see the Lord of Ice Peak this time was actually to obtain the treasures bestowed by the Lord of Ice Peak.

Back when he was still a King Immortal, the Lord of Ice Peak bestowed upon him the 'Purple Thunder Treading Heaven Boots' worth over a hundred treasure points.

According to his speculation, now that he had stepped into the Cosmic Venerable level, the Lord of Ice Peak would at least bestow a Supreme Treasure.

And even the most ordinary Supreme Treasure is worth thousands of treasure points, which is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for a Cosmic Venerable who has just broken through like him.

And this is exactly the reason why Venerable Venerable Yao Guang tried every possible way to make him a disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak back then.

"Qingshan!"

The Lord of Ice Peak continued quickly: "After knowing that you stepped into the Cosmic Venerable level, the teacher has been thinking about what kind of treasure to bestow upon you!"

"Those senior brothers and sisters of yours, after they stepped into the Cosmic Venerable level, the teacher bestowed upon them either a Supreme Treasure weapon or a Supreme Treasure armor according to their different personalities!"

"A suitable Supreme Treasure weapon can improve their strength and allow them to erupt with more powerful might; while Supreme Treasure armor can improve their ability to save their lives!"

"It's just a pity that neither Supreme Treasure weapons nor Supreme Treasure armor are invincible!"

"Over endless years, among these senior brothers and sisters of yours, fourteen have already lost the Supreme Treasures bestowed by the teacher because they fell!"

"Except for three who exchanged for suitable Supreme Treasures in the treasury of our human race through subsequent efforts, the other eleven no longer have Supreme Treasures to protect them!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan also felt quite emotional in his heart.

These senior brothers and sisters of his were able to become disciples of the Lord of Ice Peak, and their luck and opportunity were naturally better than most Cosmic Venerables of the human race.

And the Lord of Ice Peak was also very good to his disciples, actually bestowing Supreme Treasures upon every disciple.

It was just that they fell later, which led to the loss of the Supreme Treasures.

But after they were resurrected by the race's high-level powerhouses reversing time and space, it was impossible for the Lord of Ice Peak to bestow Supreme Treasures again.

While Lu Qingshan was sighing in his heart, the Lord of Ice Peak continued: "Logically speaking, Qingshan, you possess a clone, so the teacher should bestow upon you a top-level soul-type heavy treasure like I did for your Eighth Senior Brother back then!"

"In this way, even if you encounter a Cosmic Overlord who is good at soul attacks, the other party can at most exterminate one of your clones, causing you to lose some treasures!"

"However, your will was already at the Cosmic Venerable level at the Immortal Spirit stage, and you are relatively good at soul attacks. According to the teacher's estimation, you now only need an ordinary soul-type heavy treasure to guard your soul, which is enough to resist the soul infiltration and extermination of those Cosmic Overlord-level powerhouses!"

"In this way, the teacher actually doesn't know what treasure to bestow upon you!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

The Lord of Ice Peak teacher said he didn't know what to bestow upon him, he wouldn't just not bestow anything, would he?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said: "No matter what treasure you bestow upon the disciple, the disciple is very grateful!"

"Hahaha..."

After hearing these words from Lu Qingshan, the Lord of Ice Peak laughed immediately.

He had already lived for endless years, how could he not guess Lu Qingshan's thoughts?

"Little guy, don't worry!"

The Lord of Ice Peak said with a smile: "Since the teacher said he would bestow treasures upon you, he naturally won't break his promise!"

"There are not many Cosmic Venerables with clones in our human race, only a little over a hundred in total!"

The Lord of Ice Peak thought for a moment, and then continued: "The ways they wander the universe are not the same..."

"Some spend a lot of resources to build a powerful clone, which can occupy a huge advantage when fighting with powerhouses of the same level, but once the clone falls, the loss is also very large!"

"Some only equip their clones with treasures that are not very precious. Although they are lower in strength than powerhouses of the same level, even if the clone falls, the loss will not be too large!"

"Some, after accumulating resources to exchange for suitable treasures, do not use them themselves, but lend them to other powerhouses, thereby harvesting some rewards! Even if the other party falls, they still need to return the Supreme Treasure after resurrection..."

After hearing these words from the Lord of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

The first two ways mentioned by the Lord of Ice Peak were fine, he had experienced them both. The first was himself when he established his reputation as an Invincible King; the second was himself when he was exterminated by foreign powerhouses on the outer-territory battlefield. As long as he made back his investment before being exterminated, it wouldn't be considered a loss...

But the third way was too bizarre!

"In short, the way every powerhouse with a clone wanders the universe is not quite the same!"

"You are still young now, and have enough time to try, to find the way to wander the universe that is most suitable for yourself!"

"How about this!"

The Lord of Ice Peak continued quickly: "When those senior brothers and sisters of yours broke through to the Cosmic Venerable level back then, among the Supreme Treasures the teacher bestowed, the top-level soul-type heavy treasure of your Eighth Senior Brother was the most precious, worth 3.5

The Master of Ice Peak soon continued, "When your senior brothers and sisters broke through to become Universe Venerables, among the treasures I bestowed upon them, your eighth senior brother's top-tier soul-type heavy treasure was the most precious, valued at 3.5 Treasure Points!"

"Among my many disciples, I have provided you with the least guidance, so this time, I will directly bestow 4 Treasure Points upon you!"

"You can take these resources to the race's treasury and exchange them for whatever suits you best according to your own wishes, whether it is to improve your life gene level, exchange for protective treasures, or to rent origin-type treasures to help your clones recover quickly after they fall!"

"As for me, it saves me the trouble."

Hearing these words from the Master of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan felt quite moved.

It had to be said that the Master of Ice Peak had considered things very thoroughly for him.

This approach might seem like the Master of Ice Peak was simply washing his hands of the matter, but in reality, he was handing the power of choice directly into Lu Qingshan's own hands.

Moreover, with 4 Treasure Points, if one were to exchange them only for the most ordinary treasure weapons, it would likely be enough to exchange for three or four of them; the entire net worth of an average Universe Overlord was only about that much.

As a newly broken-through mid-level Venerable, with the Master of Ice Peak bestowing such a large amount of resources, what could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan hurriedly said respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for considering so much for your disciple!"

"Hmm!"

The Master of Ice Peak nodded slightly and then continued, "However, Qingshan, do not think that just because you have many resources, you can squander them recklessly. You must know that even for a Universe Overlord like your senior brother Venerable Yao Guang, it would take a very long time to accumulate such a wealth of resources!"

"This disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly replied respectfully.

In the original story, after Luo Feng obtained the components of the Sword River Luo, not only did many Universe Overlords appear, but even more than one Universe Master showed themselves.

And when Luo Feng finally contributed the Sword River Luo components to the human race's treasury, he only received 12 Treasure Points!

From this, it can be seen that resources worth four Treasure Points are definitely incomparably precious.

Even if he possessed the ability to create clones, if it were not for the Master of Ice Peak's bestowal, it would certainly have been extremely difficult for him to accumulate such a fortune.

"I must absolutely not compare myself to the Luo Feng from the original story!"

Lu Qingshan warned himself inwardly, "In the entire Primordial Universe, there is only one freak like Luo Feng!"

"Our human race has been able to successfully gain a foothold in the vast universe and become an apex race because we have experienced incomparably cruel wars of survival along the way!"

The Master of Ice Peak continued, "Over the long years, even Universe Masters of our human race have fallen!"

"Although Universe Venerables can be resurrected by reversing time and space after they fall, over the endless years, there have been some Universe Venerables who were soul-enslaved by alien races and could not be resurrected even by reversing time and space!"

"Your will is extremely powerful, Qingshan, so it would naturally be extremely difficult for those alien races to soul-enslave you!"

"Moreover, you possess clones. If you truly encounter a soul attack you cannot resist, you would rather self-destruct than become a soul slave to those alien races!"

"Never choose to resist stubbornly just because of the treasures on your person. If treasures are lost, you can start over, but if you are truly soul-enslaved by an alien race, you will never have any chance again!"

"This disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in response.

"Very well!"

The Master of Ice Peak waved his hand and then continued, "Your access permissions have now been upgraded. You are now qualified to head to the race's treasury within Chaos City. Whatever treasures you want, just go and exchange for them yourself!"

"I hope you can continue to cultivate diligently and also contribute your own strength to the rise of our human race!"

"This disciple will keep Master's teachings in mind!" Lu Qingshan said respectfully once more.

At the level of a Universe Venerable, one is already considered the backbone of the race.

Having cultivated to this point, he had long since been nurtured by the race's many resources, so contributing to the race now was naturally a matter of course.

"From now on, you can teleport directly to my divine palace on Thunder Island!"

The Master of Ice Peak nodded and then continued, "If you encounter questions in your cultivation, or if you wish to create higher-level secret techniques, you can come to find me at my divine palace on the peak of Thunder Island!"

"As for this Ice Mountain Palace, there is no need to come here unless there is an important matter!"

"Yes, Master!" Lu Qingshan said respectfully.

"Go now. I hope that in the near future, I will hear news of you making those alien powerhouses in the vast universe tremble with fear!" the Master of Ice Peak said with great anticipation.

"This disciple takes his leave!" Lu Qingshan bowed respectfully to bid farewell.

Whoosh!

The Master of Ice Peak waved his hand, directly teleporting Lu Qingshan out of the Ice Mountain Palace.

Only the Master of Ice Peak remained in this vast space, gazing forward as if he had seen through the endless void...

"With the resources I have bestowed, it should not be too difficult for my disciple to raise his strength to the level of a high-level Venerable!"

The Master of Ice Peak thought to himself, "I just don't know if he will have the chance to reach the level of a Universe Overlord!"

One must know that among the Universe Venerables of the human race who possess clones, not every one of them possesses the strength of a Universe Overlord level.

But for Lu Qingshan, who possesses clones, the Master of Ice Peak still held great expectations.
