Chapter 24: Lei Guang Laozu

Lu Qingshan had already gone offline, so naturally he knew nothing about what was happening to the others in the chat group.

The current Lu Qingshan was staying in the cultivation room, inspecting the gifts the others in the chat group had sent him this time.

Among these gifts, the beautiful jade and fine wine Cao Cao gave him were merely ordinary things, quite common, but this also represented a piece of Cao Cao's heart.

"As for these things Pang Bo gave me, they are quite mysterious!"

Lu Qingshan first looked at the damaged Buddhist artifact in his hand: "This Buddhist artifact was crafted quite ingeniously; when I forge weapons for myself in the future, I can indeed take some inspiration from it!"

It must be known that force weapons, thought-force weapons, and so on in the universe are mostly only at the first to fifth ranks.

Even the so-called nine divine weapons of the Rulers are merely relatively powerful fifth-rank thought-force weapons.

Precisely because of this, most Immortal Gods in the universe need to forge divine weapons most suitable for themselves, so that they can perfectly combine with self-created secret techniques, thereby exerting higher strength.

"The fruit of this Nine Wonders Undying Pill also looks very special!"

Lu Qingshan separated a wisp of Immortal God power to penetrate it, and actually discovered some fluctuations of the Wood Origin Law: "There are actually fluctuations of the Wood Origin Law contained within, which can be considered a small surprise!"

"Hmm?"

After a moment, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation: "The fluctuations of the Wood Origin Law are actually gradually weakening? Could it be because this Nine Wonders Undying Pill fruit has left its original world?"

"Never mind all that!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "I should still hurry up and comprehend it a bit; perhaps I can thereby step into the threshold of the Wood Origin Law!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately had his power clone swallow the Nine Wonders Undying Pill fruit whole, then quickly began to feel the mysteries contained within it.

Just as Lu Qingshan immersed himself in cultivation, time continued to pass.

"Brother Qingshan!"

This day, while Lu Qingshan was cultivating with a calm mind, his wife Karina's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Hmm?"

Lu Qingshan immediately opened his eyes, then with a thought, the cultivation room door automatically opened.

Lu Qingshan looked up at his wife Karina and daughter Lu Wenxuan standing at the cultivation room door, and asked with confusion: "Karina, is there something?"

"Brother Qingshan!"

Karina, standing at the door, hurriedly said: "It is Lei Guang Ancestor of my Lei Guang Sea royal family who has arrived at Tianlei Star and wishes to see you!"

"Lei Guang Laozu?" Lu Qingshan's heart stirred.

Before he broke through to become an Immortal, Lei Guang Laozu was the only Immortal God within the Lei Guang Hai star domain, having ruled the Lei Guang Hai star domain for endless ages.

However, even though Lei Guang Laozu had cultivated for endless ages, his strength was quite ordinary; he probably wasn't much stronger than the current Lu Qingshan.

Regarding Lei Guang Laozu's visit, Lu Qingshan was not at all surprised.

After all, his breakthrough to become an Immortal God this time was considered a major event for the entire Lei Guang Hai star domain.

After a moment, Lu Qingshan brought Karina and Lu Wenxuan to the reception room inside the castle.

At this moment, a figure emitting a powerful aura was sitting in the reception room.

He was seen wearing a purple long robe, with purple secret patterns on his face; he was indeed the ruler of the Lei Guang Hai star domain, Lei Guang Laozu.

Behind Lei Guang Laozu stood two other figures.

One of these figures wore a golden long robe; he was Karina's father, the current Emperor of the Lei Guang Hai Empire, Lei Kesi; the other figure was a handsome woman wearing green battle armor. She had a very obvious green mark on her Marquis Meixin; she was indeed a very famous Boundary Master-level powerhouse within the Lei Guang Hai royal family, Hurricane Boundary Master, Qing Lan!

Lei Kesi was one thing; although he was Karina's father, at this moment he was merely a Boundary Master-level powerhouse who had just broken through not long ago; but that 'Hurricane Boundary Master' Qing Lan, whether in talent or strength, was very powerful!

This person had cultivated for only over four million years, not only gaining the recognition of the Wind Origin Law, but her strength was also very powerful; she was only slightly inferior to Lu Qingshan before he broke through!

Most crucially, back when Lu Qingshan's third wife passed away, he had also pursued Qing Lan, who had just Break through to the Boundary, but at that time he was directly rejected by her!

Seeing Lu Qingshan appear at the living room entrance, Lei Guang Laozu immediately stood up, then led the two people behind him to welcome him.

"Laozu, Qing Lan, Father-in-law!" Lu Qingshan nodded and greeted with a smile.

"Laozu, my lord Qing Lan, Father (Grandfather)!" Karina also hurriedly led Lu Wenxuan to bow and pay respects.

Looking at the Lu Qingshan before him, Lei Kesi's heart couldn't help but flash with a trace of excitement.

The wisest thing he had done in his life was marrying one of his daughters to Lu Qingshan.

It must be known that now Lu Qingshan had broken through to become an Immortal, and even Laozu attached incomparable importance to him!

"With the help of me, your son-in-law, in the future I will definitely be able to occupy more cultivation resources within the family!"

Lei Kesi glanced indifferently at the 'Hurricane Boundary Master' Qing Lan beside him, and couldn't help but think silently in his heart: "I wonder if my lord Qing Lan regrets now not accepting the pursuit of me, your son-in-law, back then!"

Although Lei Kesi had cultivated for just over a million years, he had also heard some elders within the royal family mention the matter between Lu Qingshan and Qing Lan.

However, he was now increasingly glad that Lu Qingshan and Qing Lan had not ended up together back then; otherwise, how could his daughter Karina have married Lu Qingshan?

"Young friend Qingshan, no need for so much courtesy!"

Lei Guang Laozu looked at Lu Qingshan and said with a chuckle: "Although my cultivation time is longer than yours, since you have already broken through to become an Immortal, we two can simply interact as equals from now on!"

In Lei Guang Laozu's eyes, Lu Qingshan who had become an Immortal God was even more important than the juniors he valued!

After all, if these juniors of his could not break through to become Immortals in the future, they would perish due to the limit of their lifespan before long, while Lu Qingshan, whose lifespan was eternal, could experience endless ages just like him.

Thinking of this, Lei Guang Laozu couldn't help but sigh: "Young friend Qingshan, I had previously heard news of you going to the Initial Universe to comprehend, but I never expected you to break through to become an Immortal so quickly; truly, your talent and brilliance are astonishing!"

Actually, when Lei Guang Laozu first learned that Lu Qingshan had gone to the Initial Universe to comprehend, he had merely casually sighed at Lu Qingshan's astonishing boldness.

But what he didn't expect was that only a thousand-plus years had passed, and this Lu Qingshan had truly broken through to become an Immortal!

Lu Qingshan extended his hand to invite Lei Guang Laozu to sit, then waved his hand to bring out fine wine and delicacies: "Brother Lei Guang, you flatter me; I was just quite lucky!"

"Luck is also part of strength!"

Lei Guang Laozu said with a smile: "To speak of it, I am ashamed; over the long ages, I have also sent two excellent juniors from the clan into the Initial Universe one after another, but these two of them both failed to break through to become Immortal Gods!"

"This..." Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect Lei Guang Laozu's luck to be so bad!

You should know that when peak World Lord powerhouses go to the Primordial Universe to cultivate, basically about a small fraction of them manage to break through and become Immortal Gods.

And the outstanding juniors that Lei Guang Laozu could spend a tremendous price to send into the Primordial Universe would certainly not be much weaker than the previous Lu Qingshan — who would have thought they all failed!

As for the astonishing wealth in Lei Guang Laozu's hands being enough to successively send two outstanding juniors into the Primordial Universe, Lu Qingshan was not surprised in the slightest.

After all, Lei Guang Laozu commands an entire starfield beneath him; the number of life-bearing planets alone can be called a sea, bringing him a steady, endless stream of income.

An ordinary life-bearing planet sells for roughly one billion Yanfeng coins.

Under normal circumstances, a single life-bearing planet can bring its lord several hundred thousand Yanfeng coins of income every year.

In other words, given enough eons, the normal output of life-bearing planets alone is enough to accumulate a staggering fortune.

Even Lu Qingshan's own clan was able to pile up astonishing wealth over hundreds of millions of years, let alone Lei Guang Laozu, who has controlled the Lei Guang Hai starfield for endless ages!

(Author's note: For the planet-output reference, you can check the original Swallowed Star where Gao Sheng wants to buy Luo Feng's Black Dragon spaceship — under normal circumstances, the wealth accumulated by an ordinary life-bearing planet over several thousand years is enough to purchase another ordinary life-bearing planet, but someone has to be willing to sell!)
