Chapter 40: First In-Person Gathering

In a short while, Yue Buqun and the others had already experienced the incredible power of the Enlightenment Boost feature in the chat group.

【Yue Buqun: I used the Enlightenment Boost feature once. Though my strength didn’t improve much, my understanding of the Purple Cloud Divine Art deepened significantly—I suspect that with a little more time, I’ll be able to create the next stage of martial techniques!】

Previously, Lu Qing had helped Yue Buqun improve the Purple Cloud Divine Art, but due to world differences, the revised version could only serve as a reference for Yue Buqun.

After using the Enlightenment Boost feature once, he finally saw the path forward on his martial journey.

【Han Li: This Enlightenment Boost feature is truly extraordinary. I just used it once and quickly mastered several high-power spells only usable at the Foundation Establishment realm!】

【Pang Bo: Why talk so much? There’s now a cross-realm teleportation channel in the chat group. Why don’t we all meet in person?】

【Xiao Yan: Great idea! Come to my Xiao family—I’ll treat you all properly!】

【Pang Bo: Your Xiao family’s affairs probably can’t be settled in a hurry. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to go there now. Why not come to my place instead?】

【Cao Cao: Actually, you’re all welcome to come to my place too!】

Watching the chat records, Lu Qing finally spoke up.

【Lu Qing: For our first gathering, everyone come to my place! I’ll bring you all to my divine realm—no one will disturb you there, and you can enjoy yourselves freely!】

【Pang Bo: I follow the group master!】

【Xiao Yan: Me too.JPG】

【Lu Qing: @Xiao Yan, @Cao Cao, you two previously transferred your points to me—do you still have any left?】

【Cao Cao: Thank you, group master, I still have a little left—enough to use the cross-realm teleportation function!】

【System Prompt: Pang Bo used the cross-realm teleportation channel. Approve?】

【Pang Bo: Group master, open up—I’m here!】

【System Prompt: Xiao Yan used the cross-realm teleportation channel. Approve?】

【Xiao Yan: Group master, I’m here too!】

On Thunder Star, in a cultivation chamber.

Hum!

Lu Qing activated his will, instantly opening a temporary teleportation channel, then stepped forward and appeared in his divine realm.

【System Prompt: Han Li used the cross-realm teleportation channel. Approve?】

【System Prompt: Cao Cao used the cross-realm teleportation channel. Approve?】

【System Prompt: Yue Buqun used the cross-realm teleportation channel. Approve?】

【System Prompt: Tianmeng Ice Silkworm used the cross-realm teleportation channel. Approve?】

Moments later, figures appeared one after another in Lu Qing’s divine palace.

This was the first in-person gathering of the Multiverse Chat Group members. Lu Qing had long prepared various fine wines and delicacies gathered from across the universe.

The first to appear was a tall, imposing young man wearing a tight-fitting blue outfit, looking exceptionally sharp;

the second was a handsome, strikingly attractive youth who, upon appearing, began curiously scanning his surroundings;

the third was an unremarkable young man with an ordinary face and dark skin, now wearing an expression of caution;

besides them, there was also a plump, massive insect, a middle-aged man dressed in Han dynasty attire, and a middle-aged scholar holding a long sword…

“Greetings, group master!”

As soon as the group members appeared, they all bowed respectfully to Lu Qing.

“No need for formalities—please take your seats!”

Lu Qing smiled and said: “If any food or drink doesn’t suit your tastes, just let me know!”

Seeing Lu Qing’s demeanor was no different from his usual self in the group, Han Li and the others gradually relaxed and took their seats to enjoy the feast.

These delicacies were all gathered by Lu Qing from across the universe, but since Han Li and the others were still low in cultivation, he had not brought out any foods with excessively high energy content.

After finishing the meal, the group sat together chatting idly when Pang Bo suddenly said: “Group master, this is your divine realm, right? Could you show us around?”

Hearing Pang Bo’s words, the others also looked at Lu Qing expectantly.

They were all very curious about Lu Qing’s divine realm.

Now that they had finally arrived here, they naturally wanted to explore it thoroughly.

“No problem—I’ll take you all on a proper tour today!”

Lu Qing smiled and said: “We’re currently inside my divine palace. Is there anywhere specific you’d like to see?”

Beside him, Yue Buqun quickly said: “Group master, just take us for a casual stroll!”

“Very well!”

Lu Qing waved his hand, and everyone appeared outside the palace in the void, beside them a spaceship with its hatch open: “My divine realm is over one hundred thousand kilometers in diameter—let’s use the ship to tour it!”

Under Lu Qing’s guidance, the group soon reached the ship’s control room.

“Deep Blue, activate 100% exterior simulation,” Lu Qing commanded directly.

“Yes, master!”

The ship’s auxiliary AI, Deep Blue, responded respectfully and immediately activated the exterior simulation.

Yue Buqun and the others instantly saw all surrounding devices vanish, as if they were truly outside—yet they still felt the couches and other objects beneath them.

“This is utterly unbelievable!”

Cao Cao couldn’t help exclaiming: “This is the power of technology that Pang Bo mentioned before!”

“Technology in ordinary worlds could never reach this level!” Pang Bo was equally stunned.

“Group master, the scenery in your divine realm is absolutely beautiful!” Han Li also couldn’t help but marvel.

Soon, the ship arrived above a vast continent.

“This is the main continent of my divine realm!”

Lu Qing gazed down at the endless land and smiled: “This main continent originally existed within my internal world. After I broke through to Immortality, my internal world transformed into a divine realm, and this continent appeared here.”

“Truly unbelievable!”

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn’t help exclaiming: “Just this continent alone must be larger than the Douluo Continent!”

Moments later, the ship arrived above a beautiful lake.

“That’s…”

Looking at the milky-white liquid in the lake below, Pang Bo was momentarily stunned.

The others turned to look as well, and all froze.

“This…” Lu Qing felt a twinge of embarrassment.

Because the lake below, over a hundred kilometers in diameter, was filled entirely with the millennium spirit marrow he had previously distributed to them.

“Group master!”

Coming to his senses, Pang Bo turned to Lu Qing and asked: “Is that lake below filled entirely with millennium spirit marrow?”

“Yes.”

Lu Qing finally nodded: “At the time, I had no suitable treasures for you, so I took some millennium spirit marrow from my internal world and gave it to you.”

“This…”

Looking at the millennium spirit marrow lake over a hundred kilometers wide, Pang Bo couldn’t help but sigh: “Today I finally understand the vastness of the world!”

He had once thought millennium spirit marrow was inferior to the Hundred Herb Elixir—but now he realized it was merely a decorative lake in the group master’s divine realm!

The others were even more stunned.

Though they knew Lu Qing was immensely powerful, only now, seeing the hundred-kilometer-wide lake of millennium spirit marrow, did they grasp the staggering gap between themselves and him.
