Chapter 41: The Passage of Time

Because cultivation could not continue after crossing over to other worlds, Pang Bo and the others stayed in Lu Qingshan's Divine Kingdom for more than a day before all returning to their own worlds.

And through this gathering, everyone in the chat group gained a deeper understanding of one another, while others grew even more awestruck by Lu Qingshan, this utterly ordinary Immortal Deity!

After everyone departed, Lu Qingshan immediately resumed his secluded cultivation.

Thus, time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years had passed.

……

Virtual Universe, Lei Ting Island, within the cultivation space inside Lu Qingshan's residence.

Although Lu Qingshan's residence on Lei Ting Island was not particularly large, the greatest difference from his days in the Rain Phase Mountain's End Zone was that the residence possessed various functional permissions.

Back when he was in the End Zone, to cultivate within the Slaughter Space, he had to leave his apartment and travel to the fixed slaughter arenas scattered throughout the End Zone.

But after moving to Lei Ting Island, he could teleport directly from his residence to a dedicated cultivation space.

"Simulate the scene as a starry sky!"

At Lu Qingshan's command, the auxiliary intelligence Hearing Shenlan in his mind immediately sprang into action; instantly, the entire cultivation arena's scene transformed into an boundless, vast starry sky.

Lu Qingshan, his feet clad in alloy battle boots and a crystal battle sword emitting purple light strapped to his back, floated suspended within that vast cosmic starry sky, gazing far ahead.

"Starlight!" Lu Qingshan called out in a low voice.

Immediately, purple threads began to constantly emerge on the blade of the purple crystal long sword in his hand; countless purple threads converged, and under the drive of Lu Qingshan's divine power, they continuously linked together, finally forming an utterly bizarre secret pattern at the tip of the crystal long sword.

"Go!"

Lu Qingshan pointed the crystal long sword in his hand far ahead at a massive star; subsequently, dazzling purple sword light erupted from that bizarre secret pattern.

Those countless sword lights sometimes converged, sometimes scattered, directly spanning a distance of dozens of kilometers, before fiercely bombarding that brilliant star.

Boom-boom-boom!

Accompanied by a series of violent roars, that brilliant star, under the bombardment of countless sword lights, instantly turned into endless dust, scattering within the vast cosmic starry sky.

Even some nearby asteroids exploded directly under that terrifying shockwave, likewise turning into a sky full of interstellar dust.

"Hahaha, I have finally mastered the thirty-sixth sword technique from the 'Initial Understanding of Time'!"

Lu Qingshan gazed far ahead at the cosmic starry sky, a smile inevitably appearing on his face: "Thus, the nine simplest essences of the Time Origin Law, and the twenty-seven more complex essences, have finally been completely comprehended by me!"

"Let's try another secret technique!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan immediately focused his spirit and looked toward the distant starry sky.

"Thunder Strike!"

Lu Qingshan shouted loudly, then immediately began to activate the first layer of law secret pattern contained within the purple crystal long sword.

This was an attack secret technique of immense power contained within the 'Analysis of Heavenly Thunder', created by Jing Lei Wang, the Grandmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, with the Thunder Origin Law as the primary and the Time Origin Law as the auxiliary; its power was utterly astonishing.

Therefore, when Lu Qingshan previously asked a Master Artificer to forge a weapon for him, he had engraved the law secret pattern of this technique onto the weapon.

It was just that his comprehension of the Time Origin Law had been relatively low before, so he was unable to activate this layer of law secret pattern.

But now...

Whoosh!

Countless purple lights shot out violently from the crystal long sword in Lu Qingshan's hand; in an instant, the entire starry sky shimmered with purple light.

Countless purple lights converged, causing the surrounding space-time to tremble along with them, invoking the Time Origin Law and the Thunder Origin Law; subsequently, countless purple lights connected to one another, forming purple threads.

These countless purple threads slowly converged around the crystal long sword, actually forming the phantom image of a strange beast.

"Aaaah..."

That strange beast phantom let out a low roar, then immediately galloped forward.

Wherever it passed, space shattered, time became chaotic, and even a massive star ahead instantly turned into nothingness, not even dust remaining.

"This 'Thunder Strike' truly possesses endless power!"

Watching the cosmic starry sky ahead constantly recovering, Lu Qingshan could not help but sigh: "I wonder, if Jing Lei Wang were to unleash this move, how earth-shattering would it be?"

"Of course, with the All-Heavens Chat Group, my strength will one day surpass Jing Lei Wang's; at that time, I can even create secret techniques more terrifying than this 'Thunder Strike'!"

Over these thousand years, with the assistance of the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew obtained from Han Li, Lu Qingshan's progress in the Time Origin Law had indeed been significant.

However, since he chose the path of comprehending the essences of the Time Origin Law, his cultivation in the early stages was more arduous.

Fortunately, besides relying on the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew for cultivation, he had also accumulated eighty thousand points and used the Dao Comprehension Boost function once within the chat group, allowing him to comprehend the thirty-six essences of the Time Origin Law in less than a thousand years.

Just then, the voice of the auxiliary intelligence Hearing Shenlan suddenly rang in Lu Qingshan's mind: "Master, your sixth disciple, Huo Gesi, has come to find you; he has already arrived in the living room!"

"Oh?"

At Lu Qingshan's thought, the surrounding cosmic starry sky instantly vanished, and he himself quickly appeared in the reception hall.

"Master!" Seeing Lu Qingshan appear, Huo Gesi immediately respectfully greeted him.

"Huo Gesi!"

Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "Aren't you currently on a mission? How do you have time to come find me?"

"Master!"

Huo Gesi immediately respectfully replied: "Did you forget, Master? Today is the day the All-Heavens Ultimate Genius Battle Grand Finals begin!"

"I have been cultivating in stillness these past few days and actually forgot about this matter!" Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Master!"

Huo Gesi said with a smile: "You used to pay attention to every single Genius Battle and Stronger Battle!"

Hearing Huo Gesi's words, a look of reminiscence inevitably appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.

Indeed!

Before Lu Qingshan broke through to become an Immortal Deity, he basically paid serious attention to every single Genius Battle and Stronger Battle; his purpose was naturally to pick up some geniuses and take them as disciples.

And Huo Gesi was the most outstanding disciple he had taken in his endless years.

When Huo Gesi first participated, it was in the Peak Genius Battle hosted by the Giant Axe Martial Arena; ranking 892 within the Yanfeng Universe Country, he was even more inconspicuous in the Grand Finals!

The reason Lu Qingshan took Huo Gesi as a disciple was that, although Huo Gesi at that time had only reached the eighth layer of the Thunder Domain and had not yet crossed the threshold of the Thunder Origin Law, his combat experience was extremely rich, and he had only cultivated for a little over a hundred years.

Indeed, after Huo Gesi took Lu Qingshan as his master, following Lu Qingshan's advice, he remained at the Star Level for five thousand years, participated in the next Universe Human Peak Genius Tournament hosted by the Virtual Universe Company, and ultimately surged straight into the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company!

However, now that Lu Qingshan has successfully broken through to become Immortal and has also become the group owner of the Myriad Heavens Chat Group, there is naturally no need to rush to take disciples.

The next chapter will be a bit later.
