Chapter 58: Guidance, Planning, and the Current Situation in the Group

After leaving his own residence, Lu Qingshan quickly arrived outside Lei Huanwang's residence on Lei Ting Island.

Because Lei Huanwang had already granted him the relevant permissions, he soon stepped into the living room inside the residence.

At this moment, Lei Huanwang was already waiting for him in the living room.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly bowed respectfully and said.

"Hmm!" Lei Huanwang nodded slightly, then spoke to Lu Qingshan: "Qingshan, I watched the video of you breaking through the Illusion Realm Sea earlier! A junior military commander able to break through the seventeenth island of the Illusion Realm Sea, your will is indeed astonishing!"

"But you must know that only a strong will cannot take you further on the path of the powerful, so you must also strive to comprehend the Origin Laws in the future!"

"Only by comprehending the Time Origin Law more deeply can you possess more powerful divine might, and only on this basis can you create more powerful secret arts!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly nodded and said.

"Follow me!" As soon as the words fell, Lei Huanwang immediately walked toward a quiet room nearby.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan also hurriedly followed.

Moments later, Lei Huanwang brought Lu Qingshan to a very ancient-looking quiet room.

And on the walls of this quiet room, there were actually carvings of patterns corresponding to the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele!

"These are patterns for your master to simulate based on the eight pictures on the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele!"

Lei Huanwang pointed to the patterns on the surrounding walls and said: "I have fully comprehended the first six pictures, so the simulations are more accurate; as for the seventh and eighth pictures, the simulations are very blurry!"

"You have now broken through the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Ladder, so you should have fully comprehended these first four pictures; next, I will help you explain how the fifth picture should be..."

Lei Huanwang had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Lu Qingshan: "Replying to Master, the disciple has not yet fully comprehended the fourth picture!"

"How is this possible?"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang could not help but exclaim in surprise: "The fourth picture of the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele corresponds to the tenth to twelfth layers of the Heavenly Thunder Ladder; if you have not comprehended the fourth picture, how is it possible to break through the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Ladder?"

"Could it be that you chose an Illusionist as your opponent and broke through relying on your powerful will?" Lei Huanwang quickly thought of a possibility.

Given his disciple's astonishing achievements in willpower, achieving this was quite possible!

"Master, the disciple follows the path of analyzing the essence of the Time Origin Law!"

Lu Qingshan quickly explained: "Previously, the disciple had fully comprehended all 108 essences of the Time Origin Law, which is how he broke through the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Thunder Ladder!"

"Analyzing the essence of the Time Origin Law?" Lei Huanwang could not help but be slightly stunned.

It is worth noting that analyzing the essence of laws step by step from a weak state is undoubtedly a very difficult thing.

Even when he himself first began cultivation, he did not choose this difficult path.

Of course, with the continuous increase in strength, Lei Huanwang had long since comprehended all the essences of the Time Origin Law!

But now, the disciple he casually took in is following such a difficult path?

Thinking of this, Lei Huanwang waved his hand, and a battle video of Lu Qingshan breaking through the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Thunder Ladder earlier instantly appeared in mid-air.

"Excellent! Very excellent!"

After watching Lu Qingshan's battle video, Lei Huanwang could not help but say with a smile: "It seems you, Qingshan, have fully mastered all the essences of the Time Origin Law!"

"Originally I thought it would be difficult for you to become an Immortal Marquis, but now it seems you might have a chance to become an Immortal King! Hahaha..."

At this moment, Lei Huanwang was undoubtedly very happy.

Previously, taking Lu Qingshan as a disciple was more because Lu Qingshan's will was astonishing and he was also very respectful to his teacher.

But now he suddenly discovered that although Lu Qingshan is currently just an ordinary junior military commander, he is undoubtedly a true piece of unpolished jade!

Because although the path of analyzing the essence of laws is very difficult, once achievements are made on this difficult path, future cultivation will become easier.

Lu Qingshan has now mastered the 108 most basic essences of the Time Origin Law; on this basis, comprehending the Time Origin Law in the future will definitely be much easier for him than for others!

Thinking of this, Lei Huanwang also began to pay even more attention to this newly taken disciple.

"Qingshan!" Lei Huanwang asked with a smile: "When you comprehended the Time Origin Law earlier, which secret arts did you mainly refer to?"

Hearing Lei Huanwang's words, Lu Qingshan knew the other party was about to guide him, so he hurriedly replied: "Master, the disciple mainly comprehended 'Time Preliminary Analysis', 'Heavenly Thunder Overview', and 'Heavenly Thunder Analysis'!"

"Hmph!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's answer, Lei Huanwang could not help but snort coldly, then continued: "'Heavenly Thunder Overview' was created by 'Heavenly Thunder Zifeng Zunzhe', the creator of the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele, so it is naturally a secret art that the powerful of our Heavenly Thunder lineage must refer to; 'Time Preliminary Analysis' can encompass all 108 essences of the Time Origin Law into sets of sword techniques, which is not bad among basic secret arts; but how can 'Heavenly Thunder Analysis' created by that fellow Jing Lei Wang compare to your master's 'Lei Huan Secret Art'?"

Hearing Lei Huanwang's words, Lu Qingshan could not help but feel somewhat amused in his heart.

In fact, when Lu Qingshan chose secret manuals earlier, he had also seen 'Lei Huan Secret Art', and its price was exactly the same as the 'Heavenly Thunder Analysis' he had purchased.

However, at that time he did not intend to follow the Illusionist path, so he finally chose 'Heavenly Thunder Analysis'.

Moreover, Jing Lei Wang, the creator of 'Heavenly Thunder Analysis', and his master Lei Huanwang both belong to the Virtual Universe Company, and have lived together in Chaos City for long years, so their friendship is quite deep!

"Enough!"

Lei Huanwang waved his hand, and a silver metal box several meters high suddenly crashed heavily in front of Lu Qingshan: "This is the complete set of 'Lei Huan Secret Art' created by your master, containing various auxiliary secret arts, research secret arts, combat secret arts, and so on... You can use it for reference yourself in the future!"

"Thank you, Master!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly put away the silver metal box.

"Enough!"

Lei Huanwang waved his hand, and the purple long sword behind him was already in his grasp: "Now I will demonstrate for you completely all the mysteries contained in the fourth picture of the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele; after you have fully comprehended all the mysteries on this fourth picture, your master will demonstrate the mysteries on the fifth picture for you!"

As soon as the words fell, Lei Huanwang began to wield the long sword in his hand, and the cosmic Time Origin Law was completely stirred up.

Watching Lei Huanwang's demonstration, Lu Qingshan was completely immersed for a moment, and various realizations constantly floated up in his mind.

At the very beginning, Lei Huanwang demonstrated some basic mysteries; Lu Qingshan simply compared them one by one with the 108 essences of the Time Origin Law he had mastered, so naturally he could understand and master them.

But as Lei Huanwang continued to demonstrate, Lu Qingshan found it very difficult to watch.

After the mysteries contained in the fourth picture on the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele were completely demonstrated, Lei Huanwang finally stopped, then put the long sword back behind him.

And Lu Qingshan, at this moment, was still immersed, showing no sign of waking up.

In Lu Qingshan's mind, flashes of inspiration were constantly passing through!

There were realizations from comprehending Can Tian Zao Hua earlier, realizations gained from comprehending the Chaos Stele, and even realizations from fighting the guardians of the Heavenly Ladder...

Through Lei Huanwang's demonstration just now, many realizations gathered together in his mind, verifying each other.

Many doubts were constantly overcome by Lu Qingshan; unknowingly, his realization of the Time Origin Law increased by a small segment!

Moments later, Lu Qingshan awoke from his enlightenment, unable to help but sigh in his heart: "No wonder countless geniuses bow before one super after another; the gap between having guidance on the cultivation path and having none is simply too great!"

"Qingshan!" Lei Huanwang's voice rang in Lu Qingshan's mind.

Lu Qingshan quickly came to his senses and respectfully said: "Disciple thanks Teacher for the guidance!"

"Did you gain anything?" Lei Huanwang asked with a smile.

"Disciple gained a lot!" Lu Qingshan quickly replied: "I believe that after some more time, I will be able to fully comprehend the fourth image on the Heaven Thunder Chaos Stele!"

"Hmm, not bad!" Lei Huanwang nodded with a smile.

Just now, he had deliberately slowed down while demonstrating the profound technique; with Lu Qingshan's such solid foundation, it would be strange if he gained nothing!

"And also..."

Lei Huanwang waved his hand, and the names of dozens of secret manuals soon appeared in mid-air: "These secret manuals are all basic secret techniques created by the powerful ones of my Heaven Thunder lineage; they should be helpful for your cultivation ahead!"

"Moreover, the prices of these secret manuals are not very high; the points you earned just by clearing the seventeenth island of the Illusion Realm Sea are enough for you to use!"

"Thank you, Teacher, for the guidance!" Lu Qingshan quickly said.

"Alright, I have told you everything I needed to tell; you may go about your own affairs!"

Lei Huanwang nodded and said: "If you encounter doubts in your cultivation in the future, you can come here to find me directly; I hope that in the near future I will have another disciple who reaches the Immortal Realm as a Hei Fengwang!"

"Disciple takes his leave."

Lu Qingshan respectfully bowed, then slowly left Lei Huanwang's residence.

After leaving Lei Huanwang's residence, Lu Qingshan soon politely replied to a few Hei Fengwang Immortals who had previously sent emails wanting to take him as a disciple.

Afterwards, he returned to his own residence and began to organize the many gains from this time of crossing the Heavenly Bridge, the Illusion Realm Sea, and becoming a disciple.

"Teacher's 'Lei Huan Secret Technique' actually sells for as high as 750,000 points in the Virtual Universe Company treasury!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "And the soul attack secret technique 'Lu Hun' that Ninth Senior Brother gave me before is also worth 200,000 points!"

To know, before, Lu Qingshan had worked diligently for over a million years, yet only accumulated just over ten thousand points.

And now, he had merely taken a teacher and immediately received gifts worth nearly a million points!

"Of course, the greatest gain is still the large amount of points I obtained after clearing the Illusion Realm Sea!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "The secret techniques recommended by Teacher must be purchased; it will probably cost..."

Lu Qingshan searched the secret techniques Lei Huanwang recommended to him, and soon froze.

The price of a single set of secret techniques was indeed not high, the highest being only 80,000 points, but adding dozens of sets together required fully over three million points!

"Is this what Teacher called 'not expensive'?" Lu Qingshan felt somewhat speechless in his heart.

If he had not cleared the seventeenth island of the Illusion Realm Sea, he would probably have gone bankrupt and still not been able to afford a few sets of secret techniques!

However, if Lu Qingshan had not cleared the seventeenth layer of the Illusion Realm Sea, Lei Huanwang naturally would not have had the chance to take him as a disciple!

"As for how to utilize the remaining points, I must consider it carefully!"

Lu Qingshan sat in the study, constantly planning: "Should I cultivate Kash to the Immortal Realm? Or purchase some suitable equipment?"

"No!"

Lu Qingshan suddenly remembered something more important: "Now that I have sufficient wealth, the most necessary thing to do is to quickly replenish the divine power of my original body and my clone to completion, then re-split my divine body to go to other worlds!"

"In this way, perhaps I will obtain a new clone!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly ordered many treasures to restore the divine body in the Virtual Universe Company treasury.

Two months later, Heaven Thunder Star!

In the quiet cultivation room, Lu Qingshan directly swallowed a spirit fruit that was entirely crimson and the size of a dragon's eye; the pure energy transformed from the spirit fruit instantly turned into his divine power.

Moments later...

Feeling the completely perfect divine power aura within his body, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh with some heartache: "Spending 200,000 points in one breath, now finally my own divine power is completely replenished!"

"Next, it is time to verify what I thought in my heart!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan's consciousness quickly connected to the Myriad Heavens Chat Group.

Although over a million years had passed in the world where Lu Qingshan resided, less than a year had passed within the chat group.

And during this time, Pang Bo, Yue Buqun, and others, in order to obtain more points to use the Dao-Enlightenment Support function or to exchange treasures from Lu Qingshan, had been constantly chatting in the group.

Even Han Li, who initially did not like chatting much, was the same; although he could exchange cultivation resources from Lu Qingshan using the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew, the Dao-Enlightenment Support function being activated made him unable to stop!

Lu Qingshan usually did not chat much in the group, but as the group owner, the basic points he could obtain each time were three times those of others; plus the points others exchanged resources from him, he used the Dao-Enlightenment Support function twice more; otherwise, even with the help of the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew, it would have been impossible for him to comprehend all the essences of the Time Origin Law so quickly!

【Pang Bo: Old Yue, Meng De, after you two returned from my place, are you still unable to cultivate the techniques from my side?】

【Yue Buqun: Brother Pang Bo, you should change the topic; this topic is really too distressing!】

【Cao Cao: Yes! I am now just waiting for new members to join the group later, to see if I can encounter a new cultivation system!】

It turned out that after Yue Buqun and Cao Cao failed to cultivate the Qi Refining technique from the A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, they had once again tried to cultivate the 'Dao Sutra' from the Covering Heaven World, but in the end, they still failed!

Even after they went to the Covering Heaven World once at Pang Bo's invitation, they still could not cultivate after returning.

Moreover, due to the chat group's restrictions, after everyone went to other worlds, they were fundamentally unable to increase their strength, which cut off their possibility of going to other worlds to cultivate.

【Pang Bo: I actually think you don't need to be discouraged! @Cao Cao, aren't you already able to cultivate Old Yue's 'Purple Cloud Divine Art'? And your progress is quite good!】

【Pang Bo: @Yue Buqun, and Old Yue, didn't you say last time that after using the Dao-Enlightenment Support function, you had deduced the next level technique of the 'Purple Cloud Divine Art'? As long as you persist, perhaps you can create a complete cultivation system!】

【Yue Buqun: That requires a lot of points; my points are waiting to exchange more cultivation resources from the group owner; the ones exchanged before are almost used up!】

【Pang Bo: Who told you to insist on cultivating an entire sect by yourself? If I were to say, you should just take care of close ones!】

【System Notice: Pang Bo uploaded a designated red packet, ten bottles of Hundred Herbs Liquid!】

【Pang Bo: Forget it; seeing Old Yue single-handedly pulling up a sect is not easy; just so happens I haven't used this month's free red packet, so I'll give you some resources!】

【Cao Cao: Brother Pang Bo, you cannot favor one over the other; I treat you well usually!】

【Pang Bo: This concubine cannot do it. JPC! Meng De, it's not that I won't help you; Old Yue at most wants to pull a few dozen people of a sect to cultivate, while you want to build an army!】

【Pang Bo: Although Ye Zi and I have managed to get some resources recently, they're already tight for our own cultivation. We definitely can't help you out!】

【Pang Bo: How about this—I'll send you ten bottles of Hundred Herbs Liquid as my free red packet next month!】

【Xiao Yan: Brother Pang Bo, I want Hundred Herbs Liquid too!】

【Han Li: +1!】

【Pang Bo: @Han Li, you dog of a rich guy still dare to show up? Last time I let you little punk slip away!】

【Xiao Yan: Exactly! Brother Han, you're now the richest person in our group after the group leader! Not only can you use Can Tian Zao Hua Dew to exchange resources from the group leader, you can also use points to activate the Dao Elder Gan Wu Boost function for cultivation! Those pills you posted in the group last time were pretty good—even my teacher praised your alchemy skills. How about sending each of us another eighty or hundred of them?】

【Han Li: @Xiao Yan, how dare you talk about me? The richest in the group after the group leader should be you! The points I've saved up for so long aren't even enough to buy one copy of your "Fen Jue" from you, and you also have a teacher whose strength rivals a Dou Sheng. Right now the experts in your world haven't even emerged yet, so you can walk sideways all you want!】

【Xiao Yan: Brother Han, you can't wrong an innocent man! "Fen Jue" is expensive, sure, but if no one buys it, I don't get any points either, right? How about this—I haven't used up my free red packet quota this month. "Fen Jue" is priced at 100,000 points in the shop. If you transfer me 10,000 points, I'll send you "Fen Jue" for free!】
