Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 147: Recruiting the Shadow Monarch of the Ten Thousand Worlds

Lu Qingshan followed King Lei Huan and soon arrived at the gate of a luxurious palace halfway up the central mountain range of Thunder Island.

This luxurious palace is not only located on the mountainside, but also covers a huge area, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers, and looks extremely majestic.

"Thunder King!"

At the palace gate, an immortal-level guard saw Master Lu Qingshan and his apprentice appear and quickly said respectfully: "The Venerable is waiting for you and King Qingshan inside!"

"Yes!" King Lei Huan nodded slightly, then walked into the palace with Lu Qingshan.

After following King Lei Huan into the palace hall, Lu Qingshan soon saw two figures sitting together and talking in the hall.

One of the figures was as burly as a mountain, wearing a bright silver battle armor, with a relatively short horn on his head, and a pair of eyes that seemed to contain infinite light, and he exuded a gentle aura like jade;

The other figure seemed real and illusory, shrouded in a layer of misty black fog, looking extremely mysterious!

As soon as King Lei Huan appeared in the hall, he immediately bowed and saluted, "Teacher, Shadow Monarch!"

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan also quickly followed King Lei Huan and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the Grandmaster, and to the Shadow Monarch!"

"Thunder Fantasy!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly looked at King Lei Huan, then said with a smile: "You are really lucky this time, you received such a good disciple like Qingshan!"

After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across King Lei Huan's face.

You know, even when he brought King Ji Dian to pay homage to his teacher, Venerable Yaoguang, Venerable Yaoguang never said such words of praise.

But now, Lu Qingshan had only passed the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and he received such a positive evaluation from Venerable Yaoguang?

At this time, Venerable Yaoguang looked directly at Lu Qingshan, and then asked with a smile: "Qingshan, can you tell me how you obtained the method of clone?"

"The method of splitting one's body?"

King Lei Huan, who was standing next to Lu Qingshan, was suddenly confused.

His disciple actually has a clone?

However, Lu Qingshan was relatively calm at this time, because he had already guessed this matter when he saw the Shadow Lord!
After all, the Shadow Lord had appeared in the original book. He was the chief executive of the Virtual Universe Company, and even the entire human race and the Hongmeng Intelligence Department!

And after he passes the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, he will definitely be examined by the top leaders of the human race. With the Shadow Monarch as the general person in charge, it would be a joke if they didn't discover that he has a clone!
At this time, the Shadow Lord was also looking at Lu Qingshan, but his attitude was very gentle.

After all, they have seen countless super geniuses in their long lives. Although Lu Qingshan, who has the ability to clone himself, is quite lucky, he can only be considered mid-level compared to those super geniuses.

But no matter whether they are geniuses or strong people, after obtaining special opportunities and special treasures, they are generally unwilling to make them public.

After all, everyone has selfish desires, and it is precisely because of selfish desires that they work hard to cultivate and become stronger, and work hard to protect their loved ones and their tribe!

Therefore, these super beings know very well that such matters cannot be forced to be asked, otherwise it will only cause disgust among the people being asked!

It is for this reason that the Shadow Monarch did not summon Lu Qingshan directly, but chose to let his master, Venerable Yaoguang, to conduct the inquiry!

In this way, even if Lu Qingshan was unwilling to answer, he would not feel disgusted with them.

"Return to Master!"

Lu Qingshan, who had already prepared himself in his heart, quickly replied: "After becoming an immortal god, I once obtained a secret innate method bestowed by the original will of the original universe by chance, which enabled me to give birth to a new avatar!"

"A gift from the original will of the universe?"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Yaoguang and Lord Shadow were slightly stunned.

One of them is the direct disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak, and the other is the chief director of the intelligence department of the Hongmeng. Naturally, they know more information than those ordinary cosmic masters in the human race.

Although the gift of the original will of the primordial universe is very rare, they have heard of it. They just didn't expect that such an extremely rare thing would happen to Lu Qingshan!

As for King Lei Huan who was standing aside, he was already numb at this time!
The fact that his disciple Lu Qingshan had an avatar had already shocked him greatly, and now what Lu Qingshan said about the gift of the original will of the universe was something he had never even heard of!

"So that's it!"

Venerable Yaoguang nodded slightly and said: "Qingshan, it seems that you are lucky to be able to cultivate and become an immortal king!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly said: "In fact, I am just lucky!"

"Hahaha, luck is also part of strength!"

Venerable Yaoguang said with a smile: "Although you have just passed the eighteenth level of Tongtian Bridge, with your amazing willpower and the method of clones, you will definitely become a powerful person who is famous among billions of races in the universe in the future!"

After hearing what Venerable Yaoguang said, Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that Venerable Yaoguang would continue to question him about the opportunity he had obtained, and he had even been prepared, but he did not expect that Venerable Yaoguang would directly reveal the matter!

"Qingshan!" Venerable Yaoguang said with a smile.

"Master!" Lu Qingshan listened respectfully.

"I watched your clone fight several battles on the battlefield outside the domain!"

Venerable Yaoguang smiled and said: "You are able to create top-level sword techniques, body techniques, and soul attack methods. Your understanding is indeed very good!"

"This is all due to the teacher's dedicated guidance!" Lu Qingshan said quickly and modestly.

"You don't have to be so modest!"

Venerable Yaoguang praised him, "Don't I know what level Lei Huan is at? He may be able to teach you some secret techniques of soul attack, but his body movements and swordsmanship can't help you!"

"Besides, now that you have passed the eighteenth level of Tongtian Bridge, it's time for you to try to create higher-level secret techniques. He will be even less able to help you!"

"How about this, you can come to me to practice from now on, and I will personally help you arrange a suitable opponent to practice with!"

After hearing what Venerable Yaoguang said, Lu Qingshan was naturally willing to do so. After all, there were two completely different progress levels when creating a secret technique, with or without guidance, and his teacher, King Lei Huan, also wanted Venerable Yaoguang to guide him.

But even so, Lu Qingshan turned his head and looked at King Lei Huan standing beside him.

After noticing Lu Qingshan's gaze, King Lei Huan quickly nodded to indicate that Lu Qingshan should agree.

As for Venerable Yaoguang, after seeing Lu Qingshan's actions, he was extremely satisfied.

After all, Lu Qingshan was still able to respect King Lei Huan's opinions in front of him, and it was obvious that he was a person who respected his teachers!
At this time, Lu Qingshan quickly said respectfully: "Thank you very much, Master, for your guidance!"

"Hahaha! You are a strong man in my lineage, so it is my duty to guide you!"

Venerable Yaoguang smiled and said, "Qingshan, you are quite talented in creating your own secret techniques. You should be able to create secret techniques at the pinnacle level in the future. If you can pass the 20th level of Tongtian Bridge by then, your strength will almost catch up with your teacher!"

"Besides, since you have a clone, it will be much easier for you to accumulate wealth than your teacher. Then you may have the chance to become an invincible king!"

"Disciple will definitely work hard!" Lu Qingshan said quickly.

Lu Qingshan has been Lei Huanwang's disciple for a long time, so he has a certain understanding of Lei Huanwang's strength.

The current King Lei Huan is definitely the best among the strongest kings. The biggest gap between him and the strongest invincible king is probably his treasures!

"Ok!"

Venerable Yaoguang nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Qingshan, you have passed the eighteenth level of Tongtian Bridge this time and entered the level of being crowned as a king. The company will definitely crown you as a king later!"

"Do you want to change the previous 'Marquis of Qingshan' to 'King of Qingshan', or do you want to use the name you earned on the battlefield outside the domain, or come up with another one of your own?"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan's heart quickly moved.

Using the title used in the extraterritorial battlefield was certainly not a good choice. After all, his identity in the extraterritorial battlefield was at most known to the top leaders of the human race, but it was not exposed in the alien camp. Wouldn't it be too stupid to expose it on his own initiative?
Moreover, the titles of "Burning Soul King" and "Blood Sword King" are not very well-known.

As for King Qingshan, although he was named after him, he was too ordinary!

"The greatest opportunity I have is the chat group of all heavens, so why not call it 'King of All Realms'!"

Lu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart: "I hope that in the future I can become the Lord of All Realms, the True God of All Realms, the God King of All Realms, or even the Lord of All Realms, and become a super being who can truly travel across the heavens and all realms!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said: "Grandmaster, I want to use the title of 'King of All Realms'!"

“King of All Realms?” Venerable Yaoguang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “You can use this title. I will inform the relevant senior executives in the company about your title later!”

A title is just a code name. Unless it is too unpleasant or taboo, other people will not forcibly interfere with the title that the strong person has made up himself.

"Thank you, Master!" Lu Qingshan said quickly and respectfully.

"This is what I should do!"

Lord Yaoguang continued, "My virtual universe company trains talents, and the people with higher talents and potential often get more resources! Although you have already been crowned as an immortal king, you are still in the training stage! After you are officially crowned as a king, you will be able to learn about some of the benefits the company provides to immortal kings. At that time, you only need to apply for the relevant benefits yourself!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

"All right!"

Venerable Yaoguang said with a smile: "You have just passed the eighteenth level of Tongtian Bridge. I think you will have a lot of things to deal with. Go with your teacher!"

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan said respectfully.

But at this moment...

The Shadow Lord at the side stopped them and said, "Don't leave so quickly, wait!"

Reverend Yaoguang looked at the Shadow Lord, then smiled and jokingly said, "Shadow, do you have anything else to do?"

"It has nothing to do with you. I have something to say to Lu Qingshan." The Shadow Lord looked directly at Lu Qingshan.

"He is my disciple's grandson, how can it be irrelevant?"

Reverend Yaoguang smiled and said, "Qingshan, I think you'd better concentrate on your cultivation! Well, since Shadow wants to talk to you, just chat with him and leave with your teacher later!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Qingshan first responded to the Honorable Yaoguang, and then he saluted respectfully to the Shadow Lord and said, "Shadow Lord!"

"Qingshan!"

The Shadow Monarch smiled at Lu Qingshan, then asked, "Do you have any thoughts on joining our intelligence department?"

"Our intelligence department offers the best benefits to those who become immortal kings. You are good at soul attacks and have a strong will. If you can join our intelligence department, you will definitely be able to achieve great things!"

"Reply to Your Excellency!"

After hearing what the Shadow Lord said, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "I just want to work hard on my training and try to pass the 19th level of Tongtian Bridge as soon as possible, so I have no intention of joining the intelligence department!"

"Joining the intelligence department does not conflict with your hard work in cultivation!"

The Shadow Lord continued with a smile, "You have clones, so you only need to send one to work in my intelligence department! Don't worry, if you work in my intelligence department, the speed at which you accumulate wealth will definitely not be slower than if you venture out into the battlefield outside the domain!"

"Moreover, my intelligence department has many benefits. Various precious treasures and resources are supplied first!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan still felt no excitement.

After all, he was very clear about the work of the intelligence department. It was nothing more than lurking in the territory of the hostile ethnic group to develop spies, assassinate alien geniuses, and so on!

Although the treatment is very good, it is extremely dangerous!
With Lu Qingshan's current strength, even if he encounters danger when he ventures into the battlefield outside the domain, at most his clone will die and he will lose some wealth;

If he really goes to work in the intelligence department and is sent to operate in the territory of an alien race, he might encounter a cosmic master who is good at soul attacks, or even the Lord of the Universe. Then he will be doomed!

Why did this shadow monarch try to win him over to join the intelligence department?

It is simply because he is extremely good at soul attacks, and he has even enslaved geniuses from the demon clan on the battlefield outside the domain, and he also has a clone!

Once he goes to the alien territory, he can completely enslave the souls of many aliens, make them immortal, and then develop a huge intelligence network!

"King of all realms!"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan was unmoved, the Shadow Monarch quickly said: "My human race cultivates strong people, and naturally we also need strong people to take responsibility! The stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility!"

"With your strength, you will definitely be able to play a huge role in my intelligence department! If you join my intelligence department, you will be making a contribution to our human race. How do you think?"

"Don't worry, I will never send you to complete tasks that are prone to fatal dangers!"

After hearing this, before Lu Qingshan could figure out how to refuse, the Honorable Yaoguang on the side spoke up: "Shadow, don't use these great principles to force my disciple!"

"How long has he been training? His strength is still in the stage of rapid improvement. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to be a spy in your intelligence department?"

"What's more, isn't it a contribution to the tribe that Qingshan killed those aliens on the battlefield outside the domain?"

"I remember that Qingshan enslaved a super genius from the lineage of the demon royal family, the reincarnation Congyan Snake, on the battlefield outside the domain. How many people in your intelligence department can do that?"

"Our intelligence department just killed a genius from the demon race!"

The Shadow Monarch quickly retorted: "If we hadn't killed the other party, the demon race might have another universe master now!"

"Shadow, I didn't say your intelligence department has no contribution to my human race!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said: "But even if you want to recruit Qingshan, there is no need to force him with the righteousness of the tribe!"

"Then let's do this!"

The Shadow Lord looked at Lu Qingshan again and said, "Qingshan, I don't ask you to join our intelligence department! But if you can enslave alien warriors on the battlefield outside the domain in the future, try not to let them reveal their identities if you can!"

"As long as you can enslave such a strong man who still remains in the alien camp and hand him over to our intelligence department for control, our intelligence department will definitely give you a huge reward, which is much more than what you will gain by exposing the identities of those alien slaves!"

"If you contribute enough, it is not impossible to exchange for the treasures used by the Universe Master!"

"And you can also hand over those alien slaves whose identities have been exposed to our intelligence department. For example, the genius from the Samsara Congyan Snake lineage that you enslaved before, we will also give you a lot of rewards!"

“This condition is not bad!”

After the Shadow Lord finished speaking, the Yaoguang Reverend beside him quickly nodded and said, "Qingshan, the conditions Shadow gave you this time are still very good, you can agree to it!"

"Like your teacher, he once handed over many enslaved soul servants to the intelligence department, and then helped our human race kill many alien geniuses!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan suddenly realized.

No wonder King Lei Huan, a powerful king who is proficient in soul attacks, has no soul slaves under his command. It turns out that all their soul slaves have been handed over to the intelligence department.

For intelligence agencies, those alien races who have been enslaved and never exposed are naturally very good candidates for spies.

Even those alien warriors whose identities were exposed could be regarded as the actors, cannon fodder, and abandoned pawns who killed the alien geniuses...

Just like the immortal flame god who assassinated Luo Feng in the garbage star field in the original novel, he is an abandoned person to a certain extent!
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "Disciple understands!"

Then Lu Qingshan looked at the Shadow Monarch and said, "Your Excellency, when I was fighting in the battlefield outside the domain, I once killed several immortal military leaders and immortal marquises by chance and left them seriously injured and asleep. However, I did not enslave them, but wanted to sell them to other powerful people in the future. I wonder if the intelligence department is willing to buy them?"

"Of course!"

The Shadow Monarch smiled and said, "How about this, I will send 'King Qingping' from our intelligence department to discuss these matters with you later. Don't worry, the price offered by my intelligence department will definitely be higher than what you sell to other powerful people!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Lu Qingshan quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Shadow, are you okay?"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly asked, "If everything is fine, I will let the master and disciple leave!"

"It's okay!" The Shadow Lord smiled and nodded.

"That!"

Venerable Yaoguang immediately turned to look at Master Lu Qingshan and his disciple, and then said, "Master and disciple, go now!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Qingshan and King Lei Huan nodded immediately and then respectfully left the palace of Venerable Yaoguang.
