Chapter 415: The Harvest of Lengthy Ages

After much deliberation among the human race's numerous Cosmic Lords, a supreme human assembly was swiftly convened.

This supreme assembly was still presided over by Hun Dun Chengzhu, primarily to inform all human Cosmic Venerables of the imminent opening of the Primordial Star, urging them to prepare before its arrival.

Whether forming teams with other powerful beings or borrowing supreme treasures from strong experts who refrain from venturing into the Cosmic Sea…

Of course, at this supreme assembly, Hun Dun Chengzhu also informed the human race's numerous Cosmic Venerables that the next Primordial Star opening would be significantly prolonged, as provided by the Zushen Sect.

Upon hearing this news, all the human powerhouses were greatly astonished; even some experts with high-level Cosmic Venerable power, who had originally planned to avoid entering the Primordial Star this time, abandoned their plans and decided to risk entering it.

After all, the next Primordial Star opening would be separated by an even longer span of time.

After all, their usual resource acquisition speed within the Cosmic Secret Realm was inevitably slow; only during the Primordial Star's opening, if fortune favored them and they were willing to risk their lives, could they easily amass vast resources.

Precisely because of this, immediately after the supreme assembly ended, the human race's numerous powerhouses began acting—borrowing supreme treasures from others, inviting experts of comparable strength to form teams, and so on…

Yet all these activities occurred among the Cosmic Venerable tier; for Lu Qingshan, a Cosmic Lord of such lofty standing, the mere Primordial Star was not worth teaming up to explore.

After all, human Cosmic Lords all enjoyed numerous privileges; even the weaker ones possessed at least a full set of top-tier supreme weapons and armor, making it generally impossible to encounter danger within the Primordial Star.

After the supreme assembly ended, Lu Qingshan also began planning his next actions.

"I've now created the strongest secret technique for a Cosmic Lord—I'm finally qualified to venture into the Three Absolute Zones!" Lu Qingshan thought inwardly.

That's right!

Over the past nearly ten billion epochs, although Lu Qingshan had constantly roamed the Cosmic Sea, he had never entered the Three Absolute Zones: Feng Peak Realm, Liu Zhong Mountain, or the Cosmic Vessel.

After all, the top powerhouses of all factions in the Cosmic Sea mostly gathered in the Three Absolute Zones, even including numerous Cosmic Supreme Beings; although Lu Qingshan's survival ability was strong, his combat power was only at the third tier, and the gains from venturing into the Three Absolute Zones might not surpass those of other dangerous regions.

Moreover, the Cosmic Sea was boundless; beyond the Three Absolute Zones, there were still countless other dangerous regions, more than enough for Lu Qingshan to explore.

Thus, during this past period, Lu Qingshan either teamed up with experts from the human race and the Hong Alliance, or ventured alone—but rarely entered the Three Absolute Zones.

Precisely because of this, Lu Qingshan had never encountered fatal dangers.

The most dangerous incident was when he encountered, while exploring alone, a fifth-tier Cosmic Lord from the Dongdi Sacred Universe…

At that time, Lu Qingshan was the first to discover a newly emerged top-tier supreme spear; just as he had secured the emerging treasure, the Dongdi Sacred Universe's "Huang Tian Zhi Zhu" arrived.

Seeing the treasure taken by Lu Qingshan, Huang Tian Zhi Zhu naturally refused to let it go.

Although Lu Qingshan's strength was inferior to Huang Tian Zhi Zhu's, his vast reserves of divine power allowed him to continue fighting indefinitely.

Thus, Lu Qingshan and Huang Tian Zhi Zhu engaged in direct combat for nearly a full day, until Huang Tian Zhi Zhu finally chose to withdraw.

After all, for a Sacred Universe Lord like Huang Tian Zhi Zhu, the immense span of time had already granted them countless precious treasures; their lifespans were eternal, with no threat of death from aging, so their exploration of the Cosmic Sea was merely a pastime or a pursuit of thrill…

"But…"

Lu Qingshan inwardly planned: "According to the Three Ancestral Gods, during this Primordial Star opening, the frequency of supreme treasure appearances will be significantly higher than in previous openings!"

"Thus, although not many rare treasures will emerge, the difficulty of acquiring high-grade supreme treasures and ordinary top-tier supreme treasures may be far lower than in the Three Absolute Zones!"

"The Primordial Universe offers such an opportunity only once every ten billion epochs; future intervals will surely be even longer—it must not be missed!"

"If so, then let my second avatar venture into the Primordial Star!"

Lu Qingshan thought inwardly: "But before that, I must first find a way to enhance my second avatar's strength, so it gains greater advantage when exploring the Primordial Star!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly checked his current wealth: 9,818 treasure points, 2,361 heavy-treasure points!

That's right!

Compared to when he first reached the Cosmic Lord realm, when he possessed at most two thousand treasure points, Lu Qingshan now held nearly ten thousand treasure points.

Even this figure still accounted for the substantial treasure points he had already spent over the past nearly ten billion epochs.

In fact, over the past nearly ten billion epochs, Lu Qingshan had accumulated over twenty thousand treasure points in total.

Although this rate was considerably slower than his earlier pace, it was already extremely fast.

After all, even his teacher, Master Bingfeng Zhi, had accumulated less wealth over the past ten billion epochs than Lu Qingshan!

After all, although the Cosmic Sea held countless opportunities, they required immense time and effort to find.

Even Lu Qingshan's near-limitless divine power reserves offered no advantage in this regard.

Fortunately, his Infinite Divine Sea avatar could sustain him in battles against one powerhouse after another without worrying about divine power depletion.

Precisely because of this advantage, he was able to accumulate more resources over this period than Master Bingfeng Zhi, despite having weaker combat power.

If other human Cosmic Lords knew of his astonishing speed in accumulating resources, they would be immensely envious.

Take Qing Luan Zhi Zhu, who broke through slightly earlier than Lu Qingshan; lacking sufficient strength to venture into the Cosmic Sea, she is still striving to exchange for even the most basic peak-tier supreme weapon!

Yet Lu Qingshan, over the past ten billion epochs, had raised his main combat body's life gene level to nearly ten thousand times, and even replaced his supreme weapon with the pinnacle-tier supreme-grade, the Purple Thunder Cleansing Demon Sword—originally valued at 10,800 treasure points in the human race's treasure vault!

After raising his life gene level to nearly ten thousand times that of ordinary Cosmic life and exchanging for the Purple Thunder Cleansing Demon Sword, Lu Qingshan's main combat body's strength had already reached the peak of the third tier, no weaker than Seeing Yan Di wielding the Yan Shen Spear.

Now that he has created the strongest Cosmic Lord secret technique, his strength has leapt into the pinnacle of the fourth tier, likely ranking among the top one hundred in the entire Primordial Universe.

"But…"

Looking at his current wealth, Lu Qingshan inwardly sighed: "Compared to certain special opportunities, my method of accumulating wealth through prolonged time is certainly slower!"

Like when he encountered the treasure left behind by Tianming Zhi Zhu's death—just one opportunity granted him over two thousand treasure points.

Over the past ten billion epochs, Lu Qingshan's greatest gain was merely encountering a pinnacle-tier high-grade domain supreme treasure, which he contributed to the human race's treasure vault for 820 treasure points.

Most of the time during his Cosmic Sea explorations, Lu Qingshan encountered only ordinary supreme treasures or high-grade treasures; top-tier supreme weapons were exceedingly rare.

After all, the regions he explored were only of average danger, nowhere near the level of Liu Zhong Mountain, Feng Peak Realm, or the Cosmic Vessel; thus, the frequency and quality of treasure appearances were naturally far lower.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan is a powerhouse of the human race, a peak faction; otherwise, acquiring a treasure as precious as the Purple Thunder Cleansing Demon Sword would not have been a matter of spending over ten thousand treasure points.

Without the human race as his backing, even if he had liquidated all his accumulated resources worth over twenty thousand treasure points, he might still not have been able to obtain the Purple Thunder Cleansing Demon Sword.

After all, treasures of this tier are so precious that even surplus ones from various factions are typically exchanged for other treasures of similar level—not for a pile of ordinary resources.

The fact that he can now exchange a pile of ordinary and high-grade supreme treasures for a pinnacle-tier supreme-grade like the Purple Thunder Cleansing Demon Sword is already an extremely fortunate outcome.
