Chapter 458: Exchange

Zushen Secret Realm, beyond the Nine Nether Time-Space.

Splash!

Accompanied by a slight tremor in space, a towering figure clad in purple-gold battle armor appeared in this void; it was none other than Lu Qingshan, who had just been honored by the Zushen Sect as the fourth Divine Lord protecting the sect.

After leaving the Zushen Palace, Lu Qingshan did not immediately return to the human race's territory but came here instead.

Lu Qingshan, standing in the void, gazed far ahead at the Nine Nether Time-Space; within it, seawater surged, and if viewed merely from the outside, this Nine Nether Time-Space seemed like an endless world of water.

Only true supreme existences in the universe would know that this Nine Nether Time-Space was the true form of one of the Zushen Sect's Divine Lords protecting the sect, the Lord of the Nine Nether.

Out of respect for the Lord of the Nine Nether, Lu Qingshan did not enter the Nine Nether Time-Space directly but stood outside and transmitted his voice: "Lord of the Nine Nether!"

"Hahaha!"

The moment Lu Qingshan's words fell, a middle-aged man clad in magnificent black robes walked out from the Nine Nether Time-Space ahead; on his pale, white face were rows of black secret patterns, and his entire being exuded an evil charm; he was none other than the Lord of the Nine Nether, one of the Zushen Sect's Divine Lords protecting the sect.

The Lord of the Nine Nether flashed his figure and appeared directly beside Lu Qingshan, then smiled and said: "Ten Thousand Worlds, it has been a long time since you came to my place!"

Previously, when Lu Qingshan served as a Divine Lord protecting the sect for the Zushen Sect, he indeed belonged to the powerful forces under the Lord of the Nine Nether.

However, the Zushen Sect usually transmitted messages for missions directly through the Zushen Token, so although Lu Qingshan was quite familiar with the Lord of the Nine Nether, they had actually met only a few times in reality.

Looking at Lu Qingshan before him, the Lord of the Nine Nether also felt some sighs in his heart.

Back then, after Lu Qingshan comprehended the fifth layer of the Beast God Dao and became an outer member of the Zushen Sect, it was only through the recommendation of the Fire Beast God that he came to serve under his command.

Originally, the Lord of the Nine Nether thought he had gained a capable general under his command, but he never expected Lu Qingshan to rise all the way, first breaking through to the Lord Realm of the Universe, and now even being honored by the Zushen Sect as a Divine Lord protecting the sect, able to sit on equal footing with him.

However, since his relationship with Lu Qingshan was still quite good, Lu Qingshan becoming a Divine Lord protecting the sect was also a good thing for him.

"It has been a long time since I came to your place, Nine Nether, so I came to take a look!" Lu Qingshan soon said with a smile.

Thus, under the Lord of the Nine Nether's invitation, Lu Qingshan quickly followed the other to a magnificent palace above the Nine Nether Sea.

Inside the palace hall, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Nine Nether took their seats as host and guest.

Afterwards, the Lord of the Nine Nether smiled and presented Lu Qingshan with a cup of fine wine, then continued: "Ten Thousand Worlds, I never expected you to become a Divine Lord protecting the sect of our Zushen Sect so quickly; it truly surprises everyone!"

"Nine Nether, you are far too complimentary!"

Lu Qingshan soon said with a smile: "Your illustrious name, Lord of the Nine Nether, which of the powerful ones among the billions of races in the universe does not know?"

"Actually, the reason I came to find you, Nine Nether, is that I have something I wish to ask the Lord of the Nine Nether for help with!"

"Oh?"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of the Nine Nether could not help but be slightly stunned.

After all, Lu Qingshan's current strength was not inferior to his at all, and with the support of the human race behind him, a peak race, how could there be any place where he needed his help?

Of course, while various thoughts flashed through his mind, the Lord of the Nine Nether also quickly spoke: "Ten Thousand Worlds, I wonder where I might be able to help you?"

"It is like this!"

Lu Qingshan quickly spoke: "I heard that you, Nine Nether, possess a talent secret technique named 'Creation', and that many of the Imperial Princes under your command also possess this talent secret technique, even able to use it to create an entire race!"

"I wish to understand this secret technique; I wonder if you, Nine Nether, could do me a favor?"

"Of course, I would not merely observe your talent secret technique for free; if you agree, I can exchange it with some guidance on breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe!"

That's right!

The purpose of Lu Qingshan coming to see the Lord of the Nine Nether this time was naturally for the talent secret technique 'Creation' that the other possessed!

After all, in the original story, Luo Feng only successfully embarked on the path of Divine Power through this talent secret technique; without this talent secret technique, Luo Feng's attempt to achieve a perfect gene breakthrough with a life gene level ten thousand times higher would certainly have been even more difficult.

Of course, this 'Creation' was the Lord of the Nine Nether's talent secret technique, and it would be very difficult to make the other demonstrate it before him.

After all, the Lord of the Nine Nether himself possessed immense strength and extremely strong survival abilities; his avatar, which frequently operated outside, often launched self-destruct attacks and did not require any precious supreme treasures.

Precisely for this reason, Lu Qingshan prepared an exchange condition that the other could not possibly refuse: guidance on breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe.

Of course, the so-called guidance here was merely something Lu Qingshan inferred from the original plot and was not as detailed as the Duan Donghe inheritance Luo Feng received in the original story.

Previously, when Lu Qingshan communicated with other Lords of the Universe from the human race, he had already shared this guidance by seizing the opportunity of obtaining the Fire Void Beast God's Burning Void inheritance.

How to put it? Such systematic guidance was indeed somewhat helpful for Lords of the Universe, especially for fifth-tier Lords of the Universe like the Hun Dun Chengzhu, the Lord of Darkness, and Peng Gong Zhi Zhu; it could completely confirm that the path they were currently walking was correct.

However, this was merely systematic guidance, like telling you that comprehending the complete lower-level source laws is required to reach the Immortal Realm, but not telling you how to comprehend the lower-level source laws.

But even so, it was still very precious for the Lord of the Nine Nether; he certainly would not refuse.

On the other side, after hearing that Lu Qingshan wished to observe his talent secret technique, the Lord of the Nine Nether's initial reaction was naturally unwillingness, even some anger.

But after hearing Lu Qingshan say he could exchange it with guidance on breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe, he could not help but be stunned.

After all, the Lord of the Nine Nether's strength had long ago reached the limit of the Lord Realm of the Universe, so what he had wanted most all along was naturally to break through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe.

But breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe was truly too difficult; even now, he still had very few clues.

And now, Lu Qingshan was saying he was willing to exchange guidance on breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe for his talent secret technique, Creation.

Although talent secret techniques were precious and should not be shown to others easily, the Lord of the Nine Nether was still tempted.

Of course, he did not easily believe Lu Qingshan's words but continued: "Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, are you speaking the truth? Do you truly possess guidance on breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe in your hands?"

"Of course!"

Lu Qingshan directly said: "I once obtained an inheritance left by a powerful one in the Sea of the Universe, which included some guidance on breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe; although it is not very detailed, it will still be of certain help to the Lord of the Nine Nether!"

"If the Lord of the Nine Nether agrees to my conditions, I will inform you of all that guidance on breaking through to the Supreme Being Realm of the Universe!"

"This..."

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of the Nine Nether hesitated slightly, then continued: "The exchange is acceptable; I just wonder how the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds intends to observe my talent secret technique?"

"It is like this!"
