These trivial family matters can be left to others!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lu Hongwen immediately admitted his fault: “Father, I was wrong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After admitting his mistake, Lu Hongwen spoke again: “Father, I simply have no talent for cultivation! Those domain lords in Yanfeng Universe who received the recognition of the primordial laws by two or three million years of age still have almost no chance of breaking through to immortality before their lifespan ends. I didn’t even receive the primordial law’s recognition until I was over nine million years old—how could I possibly break through to immortality?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you care for me—you took me to the Initial Universe to contemplate, provided me with countless cultivation resources, and even brought an immortal deity to guide me! With all these resources, if they had been spent on my deceased seventh brother, he would surely have had a chance to break through to immortality. But spending them on me is a terrible waste!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a trace of sorrow, memory, and reluctance appeared on Lu Hongwen’s face: “Father, since my birth, I have wandered the universe under your protection—for nearly ten million years now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, with less than thirty thousand years of life left, I fear I can no longer follow you through the universe. In these final years, I only wish to do more for you, so you may have one less burden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Lu Qingshan became an immortal, Lu Hongwen had accompanied him and met many immortal deities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was precisely why he knew just how precious the resources Lu Qingshan had devoted to him truly were!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Lei Guang, the ancient ancestor who had ruled the Lei Guang Sea for eons, had only sent two exceptionally talented clan descendants into the Initial Universe for contemplation in all those endless years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Qinglan, the hurricane domain lord of the Lei Guang Sea’s imperial clan, now the top domain lord of the Lei Guang Sea region—equal in strength to Lu Qingshan when he was still a domain lord—had never been granted entry into the Initial Universe by Lei Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three ten thousand hundun units spent to send him to the Initial Universe were merely a tiny fraction of the cultivation resources Father Lu Qingshan had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all Lu Qingshan’s living children and disciples, Lu Hongwen’s comprehension, though not the weakest, was close to it—yet Lu Qingshan had given him the most resources. How could he not be moved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was precisely why Lu Hongwen wanted to do more for Lu Qingshan before his lifespan ended—even though these deeds could not repay even a fraction of Lu Qingshan’s kindness, he still wished to do them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after hearing Lu Hongwen’s words, Lu Qingshan was deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with this sentimental nonsense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan continued: “Hand over all your current duties to others, and come with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, where are you taking me?” Lu Hongwen asked as he swiftly arranged his affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Initial Universe. Chaos City.” Lu Qingshan said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lu Hongwen froze again, halting all preparations he had been making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, I can’t listen to you this time!” Lu Hongwen said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time in nearly ten million years he had opposed his father, yet he felt no anxiety—only solemn resolve: “With my talent and comprehension, even if I stayed in Chaos City until my lifespan ended, I could never break through to immortality. So Father, save these resources!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Hongwen’s rebuttal, Lu Qingshan felt no irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lu Hongwen was arguing to help him conserve resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still had to go to the Initial Universe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lu Qingshan’s plan, Lu Hongwen would need to help manage the family after becoming an immortal through a treasure—so he needed a plausible reason for the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through after contemplation in the Initial Universe, though truly implausible for Lu Hongwen—who had only just received the primordial law’s recognition—would be believable enough to conceal the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, most people would rather believe Lu Hongwen broke through due to his contemplation in the Initial Universe than suspect Lu Qingshan possessed a treasure capable of forcing immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and an ancient stone box appeared before Lu Hongwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, what is this?” Lu Hongwen stared at the plain stone box, his face filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open it,” Lu Qingshan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Hongwen quickly took the box and snapped it open with a click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the box opened, everything around dimmed, leaving only the oval fruit inside, radiating five-colored light, dazzlingly bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five-colored light swirled, and an intense, overwhelming fragrance instantly spread. Merely smelling a trace of it, Lu Hongwen’s mind spontaneously gained a glimpse of the Metal Primordial Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, this is…” Lu Hongwen, sensing the fruit’s extraordinary nature, stared at Lu Qingshan in utter shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of priceless marvel is this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-leaf fruit Lu Qingshan had bought for him, worth ten thousand hundun units, had already pained him deeply—but compared to this mysterious fruit, that golden-leaf fruit wasn’t even worthy to carry its shoes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is called the Tianxuan Fruit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan smiled: “A domain lord who has received the recognition of the Metal Primordial Law has a sixty percent chance of breaking through to immortality after consuming it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lu Qingshan finished speaking, Lu Hongwen was utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Lu Hongwen looked at Lu Qingshan and asked: “Father, does the universe truly contain treasures that directly enable immortality? Are you sure you weren’t deceived?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you thinking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan said impatiently: “The universe is vast! If there exist nutrient fluids that allow ordinary beings to break through to cosmic level, why couldn’t there be treasures that enable immortality?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this is too unbelievable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hongwen couldn’t help saying: “Even if such a treasure truly existed, it’s unlikely you could have obtained it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lu Hongwen deeply revered his father, he knew Lu Qingshan’s strength was not particularly high among immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, even the marquises of Yanfeng Universe couldn’t possess such a treasure—otherwise, their clans wouldn’t have only one or two immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how had Lu Qingshan acquired such a priceless treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan ordered directly: “Take this Tianxuan Fruit to Chaos City, cultivate in seclusion, then consume it directly there. Break through to immortality once you fully comprehend the complete Metal Primordial Law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also… tell no one about the Tianxuan Fruit. If anyone asks, say you broke through purely due to good fortune after cultivating in Chaos City. Understood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Qingshan’s words, Lu Hongwen still hesitated: “Father, this treasure must be priceless. Why not exchange it for something to enhance your own strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Hongwen’s hesitant words, Lu Qingshan found them amusing—and deeply touching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew countless domain lord peak cultivators across the universe had gone mad trying to break through to immortality—and now, with this opportunity before him, Lu Hongwen still thought of him. Though hesitant, Lu Qingshan was profoundly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think such a treasure can be traded at will?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan said quickly: “You might not even get resources in exchange—and you might get killed for it. Enough. The Tianxuan Fruit is yours now. Once you become an immortal, take good care of the family for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Hongwen finally exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Father!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Hongwen immediately vowed: “I will not disappoint you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan waved his hand, opening a temporary divine realm teleportation channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he brought Lu Hongwen into his divine realm, Lu Qingshan had no intention of letting him meet Lu Hongyuan now. Since both Lu Hongwen and Lu Hongyuan were merely domain lords, it was easy for Lu Qingshan to control his divine realm and keep them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lu Qingshan arrived at the Virtual Universe Corporation’s universal headquarters with his third son, Lu Hongwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending ten thousand credits to secure a thousand years of Initial Universe contemplation time for Lu Hongwen, and arranging for him to cultivate longer in Chaos City before consuming the Tianxuan Fruit, Lu Qingshan entrusted him to Callista, who worked under Lord Heifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After properly arranging his third son, Lu Qingshan released Delilis and the others who followed him, then began handling matters related to his mission to the Yan Mystery Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yan Clan had now broken away from the Human Clan under Yan Emperor, so his assigned task of escorting Yan Clan prodigies had naturally failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this failure was not due to his own fault, so after review by the mission assessment department, the task was canceled without any punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything was settled, Lu Qingshan finally had time to study the soul-type treasure he had exchanged with Zifeng Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meteor Tear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the master-binding, a stream of information entered Lu Qingshan’s mind, revealing the treasure’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This ‘Meteor Tear’ is probably the most basic among soul-type treasures!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan thought inwardly: “But even so, it will serve me well for a long time. Now, it’s time for my second avatar to head to the Outer Battlefield!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But before that, I should first attempt the Tongtian Bridge’s fifteenth level—to increase my permissions within the Virtual Universe Corporation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a Marquis Immortal and a Military Lord Immortal were entirely different tiers within the Virtual Universe Corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military Lord Immortals typically performed menial tasks like running errands or guarding—such as leading the guard force for Original Secret Realm prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marquis Immortals, however, held status equal to Original Secret Realm prodigies and often served as their instructors even within the Original Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Qingshan passed the fifteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, his permissions within the Virtual Universe Corporation would rise significantly, and his benefits in the transportation department would improve again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Lu Qingshan immediately linked his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and headed for the Tongtian Bridge dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtual Universe, Tongtian Bridge Dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the wide central island, over a dozen figures were preparing to attempt the Tongtian Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keeper!” Lu Qingshan arrived and quickly approached Bafen, the Keeper dressed in a black star-patterned robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Qingshan appear, Keeper Bafen was surprised: “Little one, you always come only when you’re certain of success! Are you finally confident you can pass the fifteenth level of the Thunder Heaven Tongtian Bridge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Keeper,” Lu Qingshan answered firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now possessed immortality—failing the fifteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge would be a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You seem very confident!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeper Bafen smiled at Lu Qingshan: “Then I’ll watch with great anticipation. I look forward to our Human Clan producing another Marquis Immortal! The Thunder Heaven Tongtian Bridge is empty now—go ahead and attempt it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Keeper!” Lu Qingshan nodded and immediately shot forward like a streak of light toward the nearby Thunder Heaven Tongtian Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan advanced steadily along the Sky Thunder Ascending Bridge, soon reaching its fifteenth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifteenth level of the Sky Thunder Ascending Bridge lay upon the surface of a massive star, the bridge’s path extending directly from the endless void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss… hiss…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless flames surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Qingshan’s figure appeared, the entire star began to tremble slightly, then a low voice echoed from within: “Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist—select one, defeat him, and you shall pass the fifteenth level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I choose the Warrior!” Lu Qingshan said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than the flames burning across the star’s surface began to converge, coalescing into a lean man clad in crimson battle armor, wearing a crimson mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal of the Human Race—I haven’t seen you in a very long time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lean man looked at Lu Qingshan and smiled. “So, have you finally gained the confidence to pass my trial?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!” Lu Qingshan replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lean man nodded slightly, then said: “I hope you’re not just talking. If you truly pass me, you’ll step into a new tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished than the lean man shot toward Lu Qingshan in an instant, his cold battle blade blazing with endless light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lu Qingshan likewise charged forward, purple crystal sword in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere moments, his crystal sword clashed against the man’s blade over a hundred times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the air was filled with slashing blade light and darting sword rays—even the residual waves alone could obliterate a Peak Boundary Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is truly simple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan marveled inwardly as his casual strike forced the guardian to exert his utmost defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the last time he reached this level, he hadn’t even survived a single blow from the guardian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“End it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sensing all the guardian’s techniques, Lu Qingshan’s eyes flashed with lightning, then he unleashed a sudden strike—his sword swept aside the guardian’s shield and pierced straight through his chest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lean man’s heart was pierced; his life vanished instantly, his corpse plummeting onto the bridge’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, a true battle between sealed Marquis Immortals would never be this simple—even if one’s body were reduced to dust, as long as the essence of divine power remained intact, their strength would be untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Sky Thunder Ascending Bridge’s trial primarily tests the challenger’s comprehension of cosmic laws; only a wound sufficient to kill the guardian is required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the fifteenth level of the Sky Thunder Ascending Bridge was passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingshan made no pause—he immediately flew toward the sixteenth level of the Sky Thunder Ascending Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, in the central plaza of the Ascending Bridge Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon noticing that Lu Qingshan had truly passed the fifteenth level, the warden Bafen’s face betrayed a flicker of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He actually passed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warden Bafen murmured: “I recall this kid only became an Immortal a little over a million years ago—already reached the Sealed Marquis tier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if he fully comprehended the essence of the Time Primordial Law, this pace is astonishing! If he continues growing at this rate, he may reach the Sealed King tier within ten million years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it—for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warden Bafen thought to himself: “According to company regulations, any Military Lord-level Immortal who passes the fifteenth level and enters the Sealed Marquis tier must have their achievement broadcast to all Military Lord-level Immortals under the company, to inspire their cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Warden Bafen swiftly sent out a mass email!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2561,"2026-06-20T09:18:16.807Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","07a6df1ec88d94f242308c879295f1e9d7784301d71f50d2ac282768cf26175c","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-89","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-87",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-cover.jpg"]
