Chapter 486

Meanwhile, after the Human Clan’s Axe Council ended, Lu Qing did not leave immediately but invited the Star Prison Lord to his mansion atop Thunder Island’s peak.

Once the two were seated, Lu Qing swiftly waved his hand and presented the Star Prison Lord with fine wines and delicacies, then invited him to drink together.

The Star Prison Lord raised his cup, drained it in one gulp, then said seriously: “Wanjie, what is it you wished to discuss with me?”

“If there’s anything I can assist with, I will give it my all!”

To the Star Prison Lord, Lu Qing’s earlier contribution of the Beast God Path inheritance to the Human Clan’s treasury had been vital to his breakthrough into the Universe Lord realm, so he remained deeply grateful.

“The reason I invited you here, Star Prison, is not for any urgent matter!”

Lu Qing waved again to refill the Star Prison Lord’s cup, then smiled: “We are the only two Universe Lords in the Human Clan who broke through via the Beast God Path—so I simply wanted to exchange insights with you.”

“You’ve cultivated the Fire-Air Beast God Path; here are my insights and newly created secret techniques on this path—may they help you forge even stronger techniques!”

With that, Lu Qing swiftly sent a streak of light toward the Star Prison Lord—within it lay all his insights and secret techniques on the Fire-Air Beast God Path.

“This…”

As the light entered the Star Prison Lord’s mind, he froze slightly; after absorbing all the information, he said with deep gratitude: “Thank you, Lord Wanjie!”

“Hahaha, Star Prison, you’re too courteous!”

Lu Qing raised his cup again to invite the Star Prison Lord to drink, then continued: “Star Prison, among the inheritance I gave you, part of it was left behind by a supremely brilliant supreme being—the Fire-Air Beast God ‘Fen Kong’!”

“Fen Kong was a primordial Beast God from countless reincarnation eras ago—by all logic, he should never have reached the pinnacle of the Universe.”

“Yet he shattered the limits of the Fire-Air Beast God Path, achieved breakthrough within its full form, and ascended to the rank of Universe Supreme!”

“The inheritance I gave you includes his complete guidance—from the lowest to the highest levels of cultivation on the Fire-Air Beast God Path.”

“You yourself have cultivated the Fire-Air Fusion Law—these cultivation guides should aid you greatly.”

Indeed!

Lu Qing invited the Star Prison Lord here for two reasons: first, to exchange insights; second, to find a worthy heir for the inheritance left behind by the Fire-Air Beast God ‘Fen Kong’.

After all, Lu Qing now walks the path of fusing eight Beast God Paths—and even more Laws—making his cultivation methods incompatible with Fen Kong’s.

He had originally intended to find a suitable heir among the Human Clan’s newly emerged geniuses, but over the past few decades, no outstanding talent in the Fire-Air Beast God Path had appeared; the best among them was stuck at the fourth layer of the path.

Yet the Star Prison Lord’s breakthrough drew Lu Qing’s attention to him.

Lu Qing was well aware of the Star Prison Lord’s past.

He initially cultivated pure Spatial Origin Law, and ascended effortlessly to the Universe Sovereign realm;

but he had no talent for Time Origin Law—after eons of cultivation, he never grasped even one of its three branches—so he turned to the Beast God Paths of the Ancestral God Sect.

After cultivating the Beast God Path, his strength surged again, until he comprehended the sixth layer of the Beast God Path, created a Supreme Universe Lord Ultimate Technique, and, thanks to his exceptionally high Life Gene Layer, attained top-tier Universe Lord power.

Mastering Time Origin Law is extremely difficult, yet he possesses extraordinary talent for the Fire-Air Beast God Path—isn’t he the perfect heir for Fen Kong’s inheritance?

That is precisely why Lu Qing chose to entrust Fen Kong’s inheritance to the Star Prison Lord.

On the other side, after hearing Lu Qing’s explanation, the Star Prison Lord held profound admiration for the fallen Fire-Air Beast God ‘Fen Kong’.

“As a primordial Beast God, to break through and reach the Universe Supreme realm—unheard of!”

The Star Prison Lord exclaimed: “The inheritance left by such a being is invaluable—I owe you a great debt, Wanjie, for giving me such a precious gift!”

Hearing this, Lu Qing did not offer further formalities but raised his cup again to invite the Star Prison Lord to drink.

Afterwards, Lu Qing exchanged further insights on the Beast God Path with the Star Prison Lord, who then took his leave.

“Finally, I’ve found a worthy heir for the Fire-Air Beast God ‘Fen Kong’!”

After the Star Prison Lord departed, Lu Qing turned his thoughts inward to his own cultivation path.

“To progress more smoothly, I still need to find a suitable inheritance.”

Lu Qing thought to himself: “Relying solely on self-cultivation, though still effective, is an enormous waste of time!”

“Unfortunately, my path differs from Fen Kong’s—his inheritance can only serve as a reference for me.”

“My current cultivation path splits into Law and Divine Power lines. Over the years, for the Law line, I’ve had access to the Ancestral God Sect’s inheritance grounds and Fen Kong’s Beast God statue for reference—but the Divine Power line is different!”

“Zuo Shan Ke surely possesses guidance for the Divine Power line, but I am neither of the Yan Shen Clan nor of Earth’s lineage—my current strength is too low to draw his attention.”

Recall that over the past three hundred billion eons, Lu Qing had sought out Zuo Shan Ke for counsel.

Bound by the Supreme Rules and the Original Universe’s primordial will, he could only hint at simple matters during their exchanges.

Yet no matter how he tried, Zuo Shan Ke remained utterly indifferent.

But such indifference was unsurprising—his goal was simply too daunting.

In the Sea of Universes, even those who survive the reincarnation are merely Void True Gods with some talent; reaching the Eternal True God realm is exceedingly difficult!

The two ancestral elders of the Eastern Emperor Holy Universe and the Purple Moon Holy Universe are such cases—eons have passed, yet they’ve never crossed into the Eternal True God realm.

But Zuo Shan Ke’s goal is to slay three Divine Kings—including Tian Kun Guozhu, who reached Divine King Level Two—far harder than an ordinary person in the Original Universe ascending to Universe Supreme.

Zuo Shan Ke spent eons nurturing the Yan Shen Clan and Earth’s lineage—not merely for revenge, but as a desperate attempt; even he likely never believed success was possible.

Yet Zuo Shan Ke never imagined a miracle would truly occur!

Luo Feng, leader of Earth’s lineage, rose powerfully, claimed the Star Tower, achieved a Life Gene Layer of 100,000, survived the reincarnation, reached the Divine King realm, and after slaying Tian Kun Guozhu, even denied him reincarnation!

Lu Qing’s current strength and talent are respectable in the Original Universe and even the Sea of Universes—but still fall short of the two Holy Universe Lords, let alone fulfilling Zuo Shan Ke’s wish.

That is why Zuo Shan Ke ignores Lu Qing’s overtures—he sees no significance in them.

“Enough!”

Lu Qing thought to himself: “I’ll just keep cultivating harder.”

“As long as I keep progressing, I’ll eventually catch Zuo Shan Ke’s attention—the reincarnated Divine King. When that day comes, he’ll be the one seeking me.”

With this thought, Lu Qing’s mind gradually calmed.

But just then…

“Hmm?”

In reality, Lu Qing’s mind stirred, and he retrieved a token from his personal World Ring.

This token was a memento from his friend, Lord Haoshan, who had once helped him recover a major component of the Zhushenzhentu .

Unfortunately, during his later travels through the Sea of Universes, he encountered peril in a treacherous zone and lost the Zhushenzhentu , a top-tier domain treasure.

Of course, with Lu Qing’s current strength, the Zhushenzhentu meant little to him.

“A message from Lord Haoshan?”

Sensing the token’s disturbance, Lu Qing’s mind activated—information flooded into his mind: “Lord Haoshan wishes to meet me urgently?”

“Could he have encountered trouble in the Sea of Universes?”

Though Lord Haoshan lacks a body double, he created the strongest Universe Lord Ultimate Technique—despite lower Life Gene Layer and inferior protective treasures, he still possesses top-tier third-rank strength.
