Chapter 89: Movements of All Parties, Master and Disciple

The Holy Land of the Wolf Clan, Mount Tianlang!

The Wolf Clan is a relatively large race among the human races, with branches of them existing in almost every Universe Kingdom.

And the place where Mount Tianlang is located is the hometown of the only Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of the Wolf Clan lineage, the Lord of Qingguang!

Just as Lu Qingshan was breaking through the Thunder-Tianqiao, a grand gathering held once every ten million years was also taking place within Mount Tianlang!

At such a gathering, basically every Wolf Clan powerhouse capable of reaching Mount Tianlang would bring some spoils of war after killing powerful figures of the Meng Yao Zu's Tianlang lineage; this is also a major reason why the Wolf Clan's Holy Land is called Mount Tianlang.

Over endless ages, Mount Tianlang has already gathered spoils from a Tianlang Clan Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, dozens of Tianlang Clan Hei Fengwang Immortals, hundreds of Tianlang Clan Fenghou Immortals, and over ten thousand Tianlang Clan Junzhu Immortals; as for Tianlang Clansmen below the Immortal level, their number is incalculable!

At this moment, the Wolf Clan lineage's grand gathering was being held, and over ninety percent of the Wolf Clan's powerhouses had gathered here; the Wolf Clan Immortal Kelimo was one of them.

At this moment, Kelimo was looking with considerable envy at the Wolf Clan Immortal Pigeer, who was surrounded in the middle by more than a dozen Wolf Clan Immortals!

Kelimo and Pigeer came from the same Universe Kingdom; although both were Junzhu-level Immortals, Pigeer had long ago broken through the fourteenth layer of the Tianqiao relying on his comprehension of the Shi Shi Jian Ben Yuan Law, whereas he had only broken through the tenth layer relying on the complete Gold Origin Law; naturally, there was a very large gap between the two!

Moreover, both Kelimo and Pigeer were attending the Wolf Clan grand gathering for the first time; Kelimo had only brought the heads of two Tianlang Clan Jiezhu powerhouses, while Pigeer had brought a broken weapon left behind after the fall of a Tianlang Clan Immortal!

It must be known that although the Wolf Clan grand gathering is held only once every ten million years, bringing spoils from a Tianlang Clan Immortal powerhouse is quite rare; basically, each gathering has only dozens of spoils from the Meng Yao Zu's Tianlang lineage Immortals, and most of these are brought by the Wolf Clan's Fenghou and Hei Fengwang Immortals.

After all, the life gene level of the Meng Yao Zu's Tianlang lineage is six times that of ordinary life in the universe; under equal conditions, they are generally able to suppress Wolf Clan powerhouses!

Just then, Kelimo's intelligent lifeform received a message from Bafen, the Guardian of the Tianqiao Plane.

"A message from Mr. Guardian Bafen? Could it be that another Immortal Junzhu has broken through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao?" Kelimo thought silently.

After breaking through to become an Immortal and joining the Virtual Universe Company, Kelimo had also received several messages sent by Guardian Bafen; the contents were all news of high-level Junzhus breaking through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, ending with some words of encouragement.

When he first received the first such message, Kelimo had also hoped in his heart that he would one day break through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao like the person in the message.

But after becoming an Immortal, he had already cultivated for over a million years, yet in terms of his comprehension of the Shi Shi Jian Ben Yuan Law, he could only barely match the level of the fourth layer of the Tianqiao.

Such a slow cultivation speed had also left him extremely desperate in his heart, to the point where he had now somewhat given up!

"As long as the one who breaks through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao isn't that Pigeer!"

Kelimo thought silently, then quite casually opened the message sent by Guardian Bafen.

"I, Lu Qingshan, a high-level Junzhu of the Virtual Universe Company's Transport Department, have just broken through the fifteenth layer of the Thunder-Tianqiao!"

"Let us all celebrate that the Virtual Universe Company has gained another Fenghou Immortal; at the same time, I hope everyone can cultivate diligently and strive to become a Fenghou Immortal with an undying body as soon as possible!"

Seeing this message, Kelimo as a whole could not help but be slightly stunned.

"The one who broke through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao is actually Brother Qingshan?"

Even though he had long known that Lu Qingshan had become a disciple of Lei Huanwang and had already broken through the fourteenth layer of the Tianqiao, Kelimo still found it hard to believe this matter.

After all, the time Lu Qingshan had spent cultivating was truly too short!

And the fourteenth and fifteenth layers of the Tianqiao are the dividing line between Junzhu Immortals and Fenghou Immortals, so naturally, breaking through is extremely difficult.

Just like that Pigeer, who had broken through the fourteenth layer of the Tianqiao over two million years ago, yet still has not been able to break through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao!

But now, Lu Qingshan has only been an Immortal for over a million years, yet has already broken through from the tenth layer of the Tianqiao to the fifteenth layer!

At this moment, Pigeer, who was chatting and laughing with other Wolf Clan Immortals not far away, was also slightly stunned, and then a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

Because he had also received the news that Lu Qingshan had broken through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao!

And this news was truly too difficult for him to accept!

After all, since learning that his master, Mo Xinwang, wanted to take Lu Qingshan as a disciple, Pigeer had always regarded Lu Qingshan as a rival in his heart!

Previously, although Lu Qingshan had broken through the fourteenth layer of the Tianqiao, he was still confident he could surpass Lu Qingshan by a margin and would definitely enter the Fenghou Immortal realm before Lu Qingshan!

But now, he is still far away from breaking through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, yet that Lu Qingshan has actually broken through again?

How is this possible?

"Truly worthy of being the genius praised by my teacher!"

After a moment of silence, Pigeer could not help but sigh in his heart, then secretly made a determination: "Lu Qingshan, even if you entered the Fenghou Immortal realm before me, I will definitely catch up to you!"

A key location of the human races, the Wuchen Space within the Primordial Secret Realm.

Huo Gesi, who had just sent a Primordial Secret Realm genius back to the Wuchen Continent, was leaving the Primordial Secret Realm aboard a spaceship.

"Following my teacher's example and building good relationships with these geniuses was indeed the right thing to do!"

In the control room of the spaceship, Huo Gesi raised a wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then could not help but sigh: "Over these twenty-something thousand years, whenever I encountered a mission to transport Primordial Secret Realm geniuses, I have always been building good relationships with these geniuses! Including this one, I have now obtained the Virtual Universe numbers of thirteen Primordial Secret Realm geniuses!"

"Although three of these geniuses have perished in various trials over these years, five of them have already become Jiezhu of the Primordial Secret Realm, and even the one with the best talent has already broken through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao!"

"Although their talent is not as terrifying as that of my teacher's acquaintance, Lord Tianlang, they still have a chance to become Hei Fengwang Immortals in the future; at that time, my network of connections will naturally be even more powerful!"

But just then, Huo Gesi suddenly received a message from Bafen, the Guardian of the Tianqiao Plane; the content inside was precisely the news that Lu Qingshan had broken through the fifteenth layer of the Thunder-Tianqiao.

"My teacher has broken through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao?"

Huo Gesi was first slightly stunned, then a smile quickly appeared on his face.

After all, Lu Qingshan was the teacher he respected most; now that Lu Qingshan's strength had increased, he was naturally very happy.

But after the happiness, Huo Gesi quickly began to reflect.

He thought of the matter when Lu Qingshan refused Lord Tianlang's recruitment, and also thought of Lu Qingshan's terrifying progress over these over one million years!

After a moment, Huo Gesi sighed and said: "In the end, in this vast universe, powerful strength is the foundation upon which a powerhouse can stand in the vast universe!"

"Rather than trying every possible way to strengthen one's network of connections, it is better to cultivate diligently like my teacher and strive to enter the Fenghou Immortal realm as soon as possible!"

"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now; let's go and celebrate for my teacher first!"

The Gulu Universe Kingdom, the Silver Fire Star Region, Hop Star.

This Hop Star is the hometown of Lu Xiusi, an unparalleled genius of the Virtual Universe Company; after Lu Xiusi broke through to become a Fenghou-level Immortal, the status of this Hop Star within the Silver Fire Star Region even surpassed that of the Imperial Capital Star of the Silver Fire Imperial Family by a margin.

However, just two years ago, after the news of Lu Xiusi's death on the Outer Battlefield was transmitted back, the status of Hop Star within the Silver Fire Star Region quickly plummeted, even becoming a piece of fat meat in the eyes of some powerhouses within the Silver Fire Star Region.

But just as some short-sighted powerhouses within the Silver Fire Star Region gathered at Hop Star, wanting to force Lu Xiusi's family, a new Immortal Deity suddenly appeared on Hop Star.

As soon as this Immortal appeared, he killed some Jiezhu-level powerhouses who wanted to forcibly seize the resources of Lu Xiusi's family, causing other powerhouses eyeing the wealth of Lu Xiusi's family to be filled with fear and dread.

This immortal deity who helped the Lu Xiusi family was none other than 'Purple Radiance' Ross, who had left the Outer Battlefield due to severe damage to his power.

After leaving the Outer Battlefield, Ross merely returned to his hometown for a glance before rushing directly to the Lu Xiusi family's homeland.

However, he did not reveal his presence; instead, he waited until some who coveted the Lu Xiusi family's wealth jumped out on their own before he began killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

With the strength of a High Military Lord, even with his divine body damaged and his power greatly reduced, he was far beyond the reach of the Domain Lord-level experts in the Silver Fire Star Domain, so handling these matters was naturally quite simple.

But just as he finished dealing with these trivial matters and prepared to enter seclusion to cultivate and slowly restore his divine body, he suddenly received a message transmitted by Bafen, the Guardian of the Tianqiao Plane.

"A message from Guardian Bafen, Mr.?" Ross's mind stirred, and he quickly opened the message.

"Brother Lu Qingshan has actually broken through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao?"

After reading the content of the message, Ross couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

To know, if counting from the Star-Level Genius Battle, he and Lu Qingshan have known each other for nearly ten million years!

Back then, Lu Qingshan had cultivated for several thousand years longer than him, yet still lost to him in the final duel.

Later, after Lu Qingshan broke through to become Immortal and met him on a mission, the two became familiar with each other again.

Of course, Lu Qingshan's process of becoming Immortal was quite difficult, and after becoming Immortal, his comprehension of the Time Origin Law was not particularly high, so he initially did not pay too much attention to Lu Qingshan.

But later, Lu Qingshan successively broke through the twelfth and fourteenth layers of the Tianqiao, and even became a disciple under Lei Huanwang, which made him pay increasing attention to Lu Qingshan.

Even when he and Lu Xiusi were roaming the Outer Battlefield, he had invited Lu Qingshan several times, but all were rejected by Lu Qingshan.

At that time, he still thought Lu Qingshan was too cowardly, having lost the heart of courageous progress, and the possibility of him breaking through to become a Marquis Immortal in the future was definitely very small.

But now, Lu Xiusi has fallen in the Outer Battlefield, while Lu Qingshan, who has been working steadily in the Transport Department, has broken through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, directly becoming the strongest among the geniuses of their generation who are still alive!

"Truly, fate plays tricks on people!"

Looking at the message on the virtual screen, Purple Radiance Ross couldn't help but sigh silently: "Indeed, the fates of people are different! Brother Lu Qingshan merely cultivated steadily and has already become a Marquis Immortal, while I fought for many years in the Outer Battlefield, only to end up with the result of being severely injured and forced to withdraw!"

At the same time, many Immortal Military Lords familiar with Lu Qingshan in the Virtual Universe Company, upon learning that Lu Qingshan had broken through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, were all greatly surprised, and then quickly sent congratulatory messages to Lu Qingshan one after another.

As for the Immortal Military Lords who were inspired by Lu Qingshan breaking through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, there were not too many; only a very few 'little ones' who had cultivated for only several million or tens of millions of years.

As for those old fellows who had already cultivated for tens of thousands of eras, or even hundreds of thousands of eras, they had long since completely given up.

Actually, this cannot be blamed on their lack of effort; anyone whose strength has not progressed much after cultivating for tens of thousands of eras would feel somewhat discouraged!

And just as the people outside were shocked by Lu Qingshan breaking through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, Lu Qingshan also quickly arrived at the sixteenth layer of the Thunder Tianqiao.

Every three layers of the Tianqiao constitute one environment; previously, when Lu Qingshan broke through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, he was still on the surface of a star, but now he has arrived at the star core inside the star.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Choose one, defeat them, and you may pass the sixteenth layer!" A low voice came from inside the star core.

"I choose the Warrior!" Lu Qingshan immediately replied.

Whoosh!

As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, countless purple flames floated out from inside the star core, and then condensed in front of Lu Qingshan into a burly man wearing purple armor, a purple mask, and carrying a purple-gold giant sword on his back.

"Challenger, first congratulations on reaching my level!"

The burly man wearing the purple mask slowly gripped the giant sword on his back, then said in a deep voice: "However, my strength is far beyond that of the guardian of the fifteenth layer. If you want to break through my level, it is not that easy!"

"I understand!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and said.

With his current comprehension of the Time Origin Law, he was indeed still some distance away from breaking through the sixteenth layer of the Thunder Tianqiao.

However, after Lu Qingshan had completely comprehended the fifth diagram of the Thunder Chaos Stele, he had already cultivated the body-type amplification secret art 'Lei Ting' to the second realm, achieving an amplification of four times.

Precisely because of this, Lu Qingshan wanted to try whether he could break through the sixteenth layer of the Tianqiao!

"Even if I ultimately fail, I must see how strong the guardian of the sixteenth layer of the Tianqiao truly is!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately let out a loud roar, and soon held a long sword, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed toward the direction where the guardian was located.

And seeing Lu Qingshan start to act, the burly man also quickly swung the purple-gold giant sword in his hand.

Boom-boom-boom!

The purple-gold giant sword in the burly man's hand was simply too terrifying; even though Lu Qingshan had raised his body amplification to four times, he was still at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Moreover, under the burly man's control, the purple-gold giant sword not only carried overwhelming power with every movement, but was also very agile; even though Lu Qingshan exerted his movement technique to the extreme, he still could not gain even the slightest advantage.

Bang!

Finally, the purple-gold giant sword in the burly man's hand directly smashed into Lu Qingshan's chest, instantly shattering Lu Qingshan's body into pieces.

If this were a real battle, Lu Qingshan could naturally reconstitute his divine body, but this was an assessment of the Tianqiao Plane, so Lu Qingshan naturally belonged to the category of failed challenge.

"The gap between the sixteenth layer and the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao is truly too large!"

"If I want to break through this level, I must comprehend the sixth diagram of the Thunder Chaos Stele to a certain realm!"

A thought flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, and he was soon kicked out of the Tianqiao Plane.

After consciousness returned to reality, the first thing Lu Qingshan needed to do was naturally to carefully sort out the comprehension he gained while breaking through the Tianqiao.

And after he finished sorting out this comprehension and opened the Virtual Universe Network to receive messages, he quickly received many congratulatory messages sent by familiar Immortal Military Lords; even his disciple Huo Gesi had already arrived outside his mansion on Lei Ting Island waiting for him.

After greeting Huo Gesi and inviting him into the mansion, Lu Qingshan quickly instructed the intelligent lifeform to help him reply to the congratulatory messages from others.

And just at this moment, Huo Gesi on the side said quite excitedly: "Teacher, the news of you breaking through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao, once spread, caused an uproar among us Immortal Military Lords!"

"You don't know, previously many people ran to your mansion, but since you closed the Virtual Universe Network reception and did not show up in person, they later dispersed on their own!"

"Then why didn't you leave?" Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"You are my teacher, after all!"

Huo Gesi said with a chuckle: "This time you broke through the fifteenth layer of the Tianqiao and became a Marquis Immortal possessing an indestructible body; naturally, as a disciple, I must help you celebrate properly!"

Hearing Huo Gesi's words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but joke with a smile: "So you came to congratulate your teacher empty-handed?"

"How could that be!"

Huo Gesi waved his hand, and a bottle of fruit wine emitting seven-colored light soon appeared in his hand: "Teacher, this bottle of 'Silver Frost Dew', disciple spent..."

"Satisfied, satisfied!"

Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and a table of delicious delicacies instantly appeared before the two of them: "Come, fill my cup to the brim!"

Huo Gesi was a High Military Lord; his income was the same as his predecessor's, earning five thousand points every hundred thousand years, so the income for sixty thousand years was three thousand points.

Wine worth three thousand points per bottle, and this was within the Virtual Universe—Lu Qingshan had truly never tasted such a thing!

Of course, he actually did not have much of a taste for this, but he felt from it how much respect Huo Gesi held for him as his teacher!
