Chapter 444: The Harvest of Long Ages

After the strongest wielder of the Axe informed the human race's collective Universe Lords of the news that the Meng Yao Zu had acquired their second Supreme Treasure, the Axe Meeting ended swiftly.

Immediately after the Axe Meeting concluded, Hun Dun Chengzhu also swiftly transmitted the order to halt all operations against the Meng Yao Zu to the human race's collective Universe Venerables.

Of course, these operations involving Universe Venerables had no further connection to Lu Qingshan now.

Thus, after the Axe Meeting ended, Lu Qingshan first chatted casually with his master, Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu, and informed him that he had created the Supreme Fusion Technique for Universe Lords.

Upon learning that Lu Qingshan had created the Supreme Fusion Technique for Universe Lords, Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu was naturally extremely excited.

After all, previously only three masters—Hun Dun Chengzhu, Hei Fengwang, and Peng Gong Zhi Zhu—among the human race had created the Supreme Fusion Technique for Universe Lords; now there was a fourth: Lu Qingshan, and he was his own disciple.

Seeing his disciple surpass him and outshine him, Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu naturally felt deeply excited and elated.

In the Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island, inside Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu's divine palace.

"Qingshan!"

Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu looked at his disciple seated beside him, his satisfaction overflowing: "By creating the Supreme Fusion Technique for Universe Lords, you have now reached the absolute peak of the Universe Lord realm!"

"But I hope you will not slack off in the slightest—continue striving in your cultivation, and strive to one day break through to the Universe Supreme Realm and become our human race's new pillar of stability!"

"Master, rest assured!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said solemnly: "I will certainly cultivate diligently and never disappoint your expectations!"

Of course, although Lu Qingshan spoke these words aloud, he knew within himself that it would not be easy to break through to the Universe Supreme Realm.

This was not because Lu Qingshan lacked confidence in creating a Rank-6 Technique within a short time (several tens of billions of eons) to enter the Universe Supreme level.

After all, with the Enlightenment Boost from the chat group, his strength would continue to advance; even if earning chat group points was slow, accumulating several tens of billions of eons of time would surely allow him to create a Rank-6 Technique.

Yet, breaking into the Universe Supreme Realm has two paths!

The first is the most common Law path: if one can create a Rank-6 Technique, one generally can break through to the Universe Supreme Realm via the Law path—this is the path taken by most Universe Lords.

The second, naturally, is the Divine Power path taken by Luo Feng in the original novel.

Only by following the Divine Power path can one's future achievements be even greater!

Especially if one breaks through after advancing one's life gene level to ninety thousandfold—or even one hundred thousandfold—the potential will far surpass that of other peers.

Moreover, after breaking into the Universe Supreme Realm, during the evolution of one's small universe, the breakthrougher gains a single opportunity to observe the Chaos Transformation—a process unique in a cultivator's lifetime.

Observing the Chaos Transformation brings a rapid surge in power.

If one's strength is already immense before observing the Chaos Transformation, then during the observation, one's power becomes even more terrifying.

Furthermore, creating a higher-tier Technique while still at a lower realm also aids in enhancing comprehension and potential.

Precisely because of this, Lu Qingshan naturally intended to remain in the Universe Lord realm as long as possible.

Of course, even if Lu Qingshan did not break through to the Universe Supreme Realm, his strength could still continue to rise.

As long as he one day creates a top-tier Rank-6 Technique, his main body and second avatar combined would possess the combat power of two Universe Supreme Beings—better, in fact, than becoming a Universe Supreme Being and merging all avatars into one.

"Qingshan!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan's confident demeanor, Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu sighed: "Your strength now far surpasses mine; I can no longer assist you in any meaningful way!"

"But I must warn you of one final thing: always maintain reverence for the Universe—never become arrogant because your power has grown!"

"Take your master's master—he once roamed the Universe Sea with no one able to stand against him, yet he clashed with the Original Universe's primordial will, and that primordial will seized its chance to utterly suppress him!"

Hearing Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu's warning, Lu Qingshan nodded quickly: "I understand."

"Mm."

Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu gave a slight nod, then resumed chatting with Lu Qingshan about other matters.

Thus, after conversing with Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu for half a day, Lu Qingshan finally rose to take his leave.

After Lu Qingshan departed, Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu remained where he was, his mind replaying scene after scene of when he first took Lu Qingshan as his disciple.

To be honest, when Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu chose to take Lu Qingshan as his disciple…

First, because of Lu Qingshan's own diligent cultivation;

Second, because of the recommendation from Venerable Yao Guang;

Third, because when Lu Qingshan asked him to revive his family, he learned Lu Qingshan was a man of deep emotion.

When he first took Lu Qingshan as a disciple, Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu had done so casually.

At that time, in Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu's eyes, Lu Qingshan was likely only capable of reaching the peak of a King-level power, with a slim chance of breaking into the Universe Venerable realm.

But Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu had not expected that after becoming his disciple, Lu Qingshan broke into the Universe Venerable realm in no time.

And because Lu Qingshan possessed avatars, Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu began to regard him with considerable attention—after all, Universe Venerables with avatars were rare in the human race.

Thus, when granting Lu Qingshan resources, he had even given him specific guidance.

But what Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu had not expected was that since breaking into the Universe Venerable realm, Lu Qingshan had never ceased to shock him.

First, effortlessly slaying one alien Universe Venerable after another; then, stealing treasures from the hands of several Universe Lords while still at the Universe Venerable level; finally, directly breaking through into the Universe Lord realm…

Each and every one of these feats had exceeded his expectations.

Now, even more astonishingly, Lu Qingshan had already created the Supreme Fusion Technique for Universe Lords—and held the hope of entering the Universe Supreme Realm!

"Breaking from Universe Lord to Universe Supreme is indeed extremely difficult—even my senior brothers Hun Dun and Hei Feng have trained for endless eons without succeeding!"

Master Bingfeng Zhi Zhu couldn't help but secretly hope: "But my disciple has already created too many miracles on his path—I hope he one day succeeds in entering the Universe Supreme Realm!"

…

On another front, after leaving his master's residence, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his own divine palace and began contemplating his next actions.

"Now that I have created the Supreme Fusion Technique for Universe Lords, my strength has risen further—it is time to resolve some matters I previously could not settle!" Lu Qingshan thought inwardly.

That's right!

Since the last closure of the Original Star, over the past several billion eons, Lu Qingshan's main body and second avatar had been roaming the Universe Sea, aside from cultivation.
