Chapter 456: Future Plans: The Beast God Protecting the Sect

Within Lu Qingshan's Divine Domain.

After leaving the residence of his master, Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his own Divine Domain via a Divine Domain teleportation.

Above the avatar of the Endless Divine Sea, Lu Qingshan waved his hand, sending the supreme treasure of peak origin-class he obtained from the Beast God of Fire Void, Fen Kong, into the interior of the Endless Divine Sea avatar.

Subsequently...

Whoosh-whoosh!

The surface of the Endless Divine Sea, which had been relatively calm, instantly began to boil.

It must be known that the diameter of the Endless Divine Sea avatar had already reached over one hundred billion kilometers; even during normal natural respiration, it could swallow and absorb an immense amount of energy every second.

Now, using this peak origin-class supreme treasure, the 'Spirit-Gathering Bowl', its speed of swallowing and absorbing cosmic energy could reach a million times the normal speed, so the resulting display of power was naturally incredibly astonishing.

In fact, it had already been hundreds of billions of epochs since Lu Qingshan nurtured the Endless Divine Sea avatar; if expanding the volume of the Endless Divine Sea avatar did not require the avatar to remain in a complete state, and also required an avatar to constantly decompose and merge into it, perhaps the diameter of the Endless Divine Sea avatar would have already started to be measured in light-years by now.

"With the assistance of the Spirit-Gathering Bowl, it will be even more convenient for my Endless Divine Sea avatar to expand its volume in the future!"

Lu Qingshan looked down at the Endless Divine Sea avatar below, then thought silently in his heart: "Moreover, I have now stepped into the fifth-rank level; it is also time to properly plan my cultivation direction for the future!"

"First, the path I must take to break through to the Realm of the Strongest in the Universe is definitely the Divine Power path!"

"Even if I cannot raise my life gene level to the perfect ten-thousand-fold level like Luo Feng in the original work, I must at least raise it to over ninety thousand-fold to possess an Endless Divine Body!"

Lu Qingshan, who was familiar with the original work, knew very well that to become a true super-strong one, raising the life gene level to over ninety thousand-fold at the Universe Lord stage was merely the foundation.

Of course, even in the Origin Continent where strong ones were as numerous as clouds, strong ones capable of raising their life gene level to ninety thousand-fold at the Universe Lord stage were quite rare.

However, for ordinary strong ones, even if they did not raise their life gene level to over ninety thousand-fold when they first began cultivating, once their strength became great, such as after smoothly stepping into the Chaos Realm, they would also reincarnate and re-cultivate to raise their life gene level to over ninety thousand-fold again.

Therefore, to avoid the trouble of reincarnating and re-cultivating, Lu Qingshan naturally had to first raise his life gene level to over ninety thousand-fold at the Universe Lord stage, and then break through to the Realm of the Strongest in the Universe.

"Besides the life gene level, I cannot slack off in the aspect of secret techniques either!" Lu Qingshan planned silently in his heart.

Lu Qingshan, who was familiar with the original work, naturally knew very well that cultivators creating high-realm secret techniques with low realms could very well temper their own comprehension.

This method was useful even for strong ones at the God King level, let alone for the current Lu Qingshan.

Therefore, even if it was just to temper his own comprehension, and then, upon breaking through to the Realm of the Strongest in the Universe, gain the most benefit from observing the evolution of Chaos, Lu Qingshan still had to stay at the Universe Lord realm for a very long time.

"As stated in the original work, before stepping into the Chaos Realm, one must gradually comprehend the laws, finally fuse all laws into one, and fully understand the Chaos Law; only then can one step into the Chaos Realm!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Of course, if one's talent is sufficient, one can also comprehend the Great Dao of Origin in advance, such as the Life Origin and Destruction Origin comprehended by Luo Feng, or even the Life-Death Great Dao one opens up oneself!"

"However, comprehending and opening up the Great Dao of Origin is still too far away for me now; I will just slowly comprehend the laws!"

"Now I have fully understood the eight lower-origin laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Thunder, and Wind, as well as the two upper-origin laws of Time and Space!"

"Even the paths of the eight Beast Gods have been fully understood for Thunder-Time, Light-Time, and Wind-Time; next, I will continue to comprehend the other five Beast God paths!"

"Once I have fully comprehended the other five Beast God paths, perhaps I can create a sixth-rank secret technique based on the eight Beast God paths!"

"Although this is much more cumbersome than specializing in one Beast God path like the Beast God of Fire Void, Fen Kong, it is a true magnificent Great Dao!"

"As for raising the life gene level, I can indeed draw on the talent secret techniques of the Lord of Nine Nether and the many Imperial Princes under his command!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Now that I possess such vast Divine Power in the Endless Divine Sea avatar, if I can figure out the 'Creation' talent secret technique of the Lord of Nine Nether, it would undoubtedly be very helpful for raising my own life gene level!"

"However, this matter must be done slowly; I cannot be too hasty!"

"Besides these aspects, the improvement of willpower cannot be slackened either!"

Lu Qingshan thought again in his heart: "Now that both my original body and my second avatar are equipped with a full set of peak supreme treasures, what is needed next is only the strongest supreme treasures that can only be met by chance; there is no need to wander endlessly in the Sea of the Universe as before; I just need to slowly seek precious opportunities!"

"In that case, let the second avatar go to the Black-Striped Shi Zhu area to temper its willpower; after all, the improvement of willpower can also increase comprehension and cultivation speed!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly set the fully armed second avatar into motion.

In the Primitive Universe, within the Zushen Sect.

Inside the Zushen Palace, the three Zushen each sat upon their towering Wang Zuo.

At the very moment Lu Qingshan set out for the Black-Striped Shi Zhu space, the three great Zushen of the Zushen Sect were also constantly discussing the matter of Lu Qingshan possessing fifth-rank level strength.

"Two of you!"

The Two-Faced Zushen soon spoke: "According to the long-standing rules of our Zushen Sect, if a Beast God protecting the sect can possess fifth-rank level strength, then he can become the Protector Deity Lord of our Zushen Sect!"

"Now that the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds has proven his strength, we should also honor him as the Protector Deity Lord of our Zushen Sect!"

"I feel this matter is inappropriate!"

Before the Two-Faced Zushen could finish speaking, the young Zushen beside him spoke up: "The strength of that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds has indeed reached the fifth-rank level, but he does not completely belong to our Zushen Sect; his closest faction is the Human Race!"

"It must be known that the Protector Deity Lord holds an extremely high status in our Zushen Sect; one could say that every one of them has a portion of outer-circle members serving under them! Now, the closest factions of the three current Protector Deity Lords of our Zushen Sect are all our Zushen Sect; if we honor that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds as the Protector Deity Lord of our Zushen Sect, would it not mean letting the Human Race control a portion of our Zushen Sect's power?"

"These words do indeed have some reason!"

After hearing the young Zushen's words, the Cang Lao Zushen soon spoke: "Our Zushen Sect is the number one faction in the Primitive Universe; if the Human Race controls a portion of its power, it is indeed inappropriate!"

"What is inappropriate about this?"

The Two-Faced Zushen could not help but say: "Although the three of us can rival the Strongest in the Universe within the Primitive Universe, in reality, we are only at the Universe Lord realm!"

"In this cycle era, as representatives of the Primitive Universe's Original Will, even the Strongest in the Universe dare not cause trouble for us! But what about the next cycle era?"

"Although the three of us all have the favor of the Primitive Universe's Original Will, how incredibly difficult is it to break through from the Universe Lord to the Realm of the Strongest in the Universe? Are you sure you will definitely be able to break through in the future?"

"If we cannot break through to the Realm of the Strongest in the Universe before this cycle era ends, when this cycle era ends, we will have to rely on others' small universes!"

"At that time, we will not be the rulers of the number one faction in the Primitive Universe, but rather a super-faction like the current First Zushen Sect and Second Zushen Sect. What situation the First Zushen Sect and Second Zushen Sect are in now, I believe you two know without me saying it!"

After hearing the Two-Faced Zushen's words, both the Cang Lao Zushen and the young Zushen nodded slightly.

Although the three great Zushen never went to wander in the Sea of the Universe, other strong ones within the Zushen Sect did go to the Sea of the Universe, so the three of them had a certain understanding of the various factions in the Sea of the Universe.

Among them, in the first cycle era, the Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Clan were powerful, so the situation of the First Zushen Sect in the Primitive Universe was not too good, and in the Sea of the Universe, it could not even be counted as anything;

The situation of the Second Zushen Sect in the Primitive Universe was similar to the current Zushen Sect, but in the Sea of the Universe, the strong ones under the Second Zushen Sect naturally no longer obeyed the orders of the three Zushen as before; what they relied on were the Strongest in the Universe who could allow them to rely on small universes.

Seeing that the Cang Lao Zushen and the young Zushen both approved of what he said, the Two-Faced Zushen soon spoke again: "Although the three of us can currently rule the Zushen Sect, when this cycle era ends, even if we break through to the Realm of the Strongest in the Universe, we will be no different from the Strongest in the Universe of other factions; at that time, the strong ones under the Zushen Sect may not necessarily continue to obey our three's orders!"

"In that case, it is better to establish good relations with various factions now! The Human Race itself has great potential; in the three cycle eras, the Strongest in the Universe have appeared; in our cycle era, the incredible Yuan Zu even appeared!"

"Although the Yuan Zu was suppressed by the Primitive Universe's Original Will, who knows if the Human Race will produce a second Yuan Zu? Therefore, establishing good relations with the Human Race is definitely correct!"
