Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

Chapter 040: Welcome Banquet

"Top-tier elite?"

Upon seeing the last reward, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

As the saying goes, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Now that Lu Qingshan has joined Tianzhu Mountain, he naturally wants to become a top-tier elite within the mountain.

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly began researching how to become a top-tier elite at Tianzhu Mountain.

After some research, Lu Qingshan discovered that there were two conditions for becoming a top-tier elite of Tianzhu Mountain:

The first is to be ranked number one in the overall elite rankings for a hundred consecutive years, which is an extremely difficult condition to achieve.

The second is to pass the thirteenth floor of the Trial Tower!

It's worth noting that the best-performing elite in the Trial Tower among the current level-one elites has only reached the eleventh floor.

If one can pass the thirteenth floor of the Trial Tower, their strength will be drastically different among first-level elites, and they will naturally be able to maintain the top ranking for a hundred consecutive years. Therefore, there is no need to waste another hundred years to become a special-level elite.

As for the rewards of life-bearing planets and cosmic-level slaves for those ranked first among the elites, they are insignificant to the top-tier elites of Tianzhu Mountain.

"You've passed the thirteenth floor of the Trial Tower?"

Thinking about this requirement, Lu Qingshan felt quite pressured.

You should know that he can't even get past the eighth level of the Trial Tower right now.

The difficulty of the Trial Tower increases dramatically with each level. To pass the thirteenth level, Lu Qingshan would probably need to raise his Earth Domain to the third or even fourth level!

"But these things are still quite far removed from my life right now!"

After reviewing the rights and obligations of top-tier elites within Tianzhu Mountain, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "Right now, I should try my best to break into the top 100 of top-tier elites!"

"This way, I can receive the reward of the Moon Goddess's Tears, greatly reducing the time I need to accumulate energy and improve my cultivation level!"

"Based on the information I have, most of the Level 1 elites are at the first level of the Domain Realm, and there are no more than thirty Level 1 elites who have reached the second level of the Domain Realm!"

"So my current goal is to break into the top 100 overall. My first priority is to improve my Trial Tower level and mission performance; my second priority is to master the second level of the Earth Domain as soon as possible!"

After some thought, Lu Qingshan quickly set his sights on improving his Earth Domain.

Firstly, he is only at the second level of the Hengxing realm. Even if the missions are determined based on the level of the first-level elites, the other elites have already completed countless missions, so it is still very difficult for him to stand out in this aspect.

Secondly, he had no guidance on Xuanhuang Star before, and it only took him a little over three hundred years to enter the first level of the Earth Domain. Now that he has joined Tianzhu Mountain, he can not only exchange for many precious inheritances, but also receive guidance from other powerful people who have comprehended the Earth Domain. It will definitely be easier for him to enter the second level of the Earth Domain.

Once his Earth Domain breaks through to the second level, the Trial Tower level will also increase significantly, making it much easier to rank among the top 100 elites!

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly began searching for the many resources within Tianzhu Mountain that could assist in comprehending the Earth Realm.

Common resources, such as explanations of earth domain cultivation by powerful individuals with earth domain expertise, are available to all first-level elites.

Some more precious resources, such as rare secret techniques and cultivation grounds specially built by Tianzhu Mountain to allow its powerful members to comprehend the Earth Domain, can be obtained and used by first-level elites, but they also require points to exchange for them.

"Coming to Tianzhu Mountain was definitely the right decision!"

Looking at the numerous cultivation resources he had found, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "If I had stayed in the Kano family, even if my teacher had given up everything, he still couldn't have provided me with so many cultivation resources!"

"Within Tianzhu Mountain, these precious cultivation resources are readily available, especially the essence of stars, which is distributed free of charge!"

Of course, to obtain such qualifications, one must at least become a top-tier elite!

However, Lu Qingshan did not focus his attention on the essence of stars, and did not even plan to absorb energy to improve his physical realm in the coming period of time.

He knew very well that once he broke into the top 100 or even the top 10 of the elite rankings, the resources he could obtain would be even more valuable. At that time, he could continue to improve his physical fitness more efficiently and in less time.

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly began to browse through some videos of powerful figures explaining the Earth Domain.

After all, he has just become a Level 1 Elite and naturally has no points, so the cultivation resources he can use are still extremely limited.

These videos are all free for top-tier elites, making them the best choice for them.

Watching these instructional videos is certainly not as effective as being personally guided by a powerful expert, but these videos are already incredibly valuable to Lu Qingshan.

After all, he had never seen any explanation of the Earth Realm before. The only thing that helped him understand the Earth Realm was the "Thick Coating Manual" that his teacher, Kano, had helped him exchange.

In this situation, Lu Qingshan was already able to gain a lot simply by watching these explanatory videos.

After watching the instructional videos for half a day, Lu Qingshan finally received a reminder from the AI ​​assistant "Deep Blue" to attend a welcome banquet.

This welcome banquet was specially prepared for him and Terrence, and it was hosted by Wang Chen, a top-tier elite who has consistently ranked in the top 20 overall.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Chen's grandfather was a Realm Lord-level expert within Tianzhu Mountain.

It should be noted that even within the entire Golden Lion Empire, a Realm Lord-level expert already enjoys an extremely high status;

For example, the eight powerful families that dominate the Golden Lion Starfield each only have one or two World Lord level experts.

The assessment of first-level elites at Tianzhu Mountain is extremely strict. Even the children of world lord-level powerhouses can only become second-level elites at most by virtue of their status and background. They cannot become first-level elites, let alone break into the top twenty in the overall ranking.

Wang Chen's ability to rank among the top twenty of the elite elites is a testament to his exceptional talent and background.

Whenever a new Level 1 elite joins, Wang Chen always hosts a welcome banquet, and most Level 1 elites will give him face, unless they really have something else to do and can't get away, otherwise they will definitely attend.

Wang Chen specially hosted a welcome banquet for Lu Qingshan and Terence, and Lu Qingshan naturally had to attend.
