I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1154 - 715: Life and Death Through Ten Thousand Tribulations, The Undying Mark
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
"At last, I have achieved a complete comprehension of this Secret Technique."
Lu Qing remained oblivious to the various events unfolding beyond the starry sky.
Inside the Jade Cave, his entire focus had been dedicated to contemplating the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter].
On this day, he finally reached a state of total understanding regarding the Secret Technique, leaving his heart free of any lingering uncertainties.
Naturally, there is a vast difference between understanding a technique and practicing it. To truly master this Secret Technique, he would still have to progress through his Cultivation step by step.
Nevertheless, the advantage of fully grasping the Secret Technique was obvious, as it would drastically increase the speed of his Cultivation.
"I shall begin by condensing the Primordial Spirit Mark."
The initial stage of practicing the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter] involves the formation of a unique Primordial Spirit Mark.
This Primordial Spirit Mark serves as the vital foundation for this Supreme Secret Technique.
The more powerful the condensed Primordial Spirit Mark is, the higher the probability of successfully imprinting it upon the World Origin.
Without a moment's pause, the Cultivation Method for the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter] flowed through Lu Qing’s mind.
In an instant, the Primordial Spirit Power within his Forehead Acupoint began to surge, and he successfully condensed a Primordial Spirit Mark.
However, that alone was far from sufficient.
The energy of the World Origin is immense. Attempting to imprint a Primordial Spirit Mark onto it is a monumental challenge.
A common Primordial Spirit Mark would likely be pulverized and reduced to ash by that overwhelming power before it even got close to the World Origin.
Consequently, Lu Qing had to follow the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter] Cultivation Method to repeatedly temper the mark, imbuing it with a hint of the Immortal Attribute so it could endure the World Origin's pressure.
Only then could it act like an undying mayfly, imprinting and parasitizing itself within the World Origin.
"The Immortal Attribute, I see..."
Lu Qing thought back to the [Undying Heavenly Witch Body] that the great being of the Witch Clan had left behind.
That Supreme Technique similarly sought the immortality of the Physical Body.
It appeared that once a certain level is reached, the goals of powerful cultivators align, arriving at the same destination through various paths.
Centering his Heart and Spirit, Lu Qing turned his full attention back to his Cultivation.
Under his mental command, the Primordial Spirit Mark began to distort and warp, eventually shrinking into an infinitely small point.
Then, upon reaching a critical limit, a faint crackling sound echoed, and the Primordial Spirit Mark suddenly burst, vanishing into nothingness.
A sharp, stinging pain shot through Lu Qing’s Primordial Spirit.
"A failure. As expected, the required force is quite difficult to control. It is truly no easy feat to hold the Primordial Spirit Mark on the brink of collapse while trying to sense the essence of life and death."
Ignoring the ache in his Primordial Spirit, Lu Qing began to analyze the cause of his unsuccessful attempt.
In truth, the process of condensing the Primordial Spirit Mark in the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter] requires a sequence of intricate transformations and constant compression.
The goal is to bring the mark infinitely close to destruction each time without actually letting it break.
Every act of compression represents a cycle of life and death.
He had to grasp that specific trace of Immortal essence during these moments of destruction and rebirth.
Ultimately, through these cycles, an Undying Mark would be forged.
Only a Hundred Tribulations Mark of this caliber would have the strength to withstand the World Origin’s power and successfully parasitize it.
"Still, given that sinister old man's power level, he shouldn't have possessed such refined control over his Primordial Spirit. How did he manage to condense and imprint his Primordial Spirit Mark?"
"Could he have used some sort of treasure to aid his cultivation?"
Lu Qing’s mind was clouded with suspicion.
Back in the Illusion Realm, he had interrogated the old man’s consciousness and obtained the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter] Cultivation Method, but he hadn't asked about the specific details of his practice.
Now that he was experiencing the difficulty of the process firsthand, he felt quite confused.
After a period of unsuccessful pondering, Lu Qing pushed the thoughts aside and focused once more on his work.
Applying the lessons from his previous failure, he slowly began to master the technique. He formed a new Primordial Spirit Mark and started the compression process again.
This time, he managed to guide the mark through a cycle of life and death without it being destroyed.
Next, he added another thread of Primordial Spirit Power into it and began a second round of compression.
With the addition of that extra power, the Primordial Spirit Mark grew slightly more robust.
Lu Qing’s second attempt at compression went smoothly.
However, during the third attempt, a small lapse in concentration caused the newly formed Primordial Spirit Mark to shatter once again.
"It seems the amount of Primordial Spirit Power added each time must be perfectly calculated, or errors will occur."
Lu Qing noted the increasing pain in his Primordial Spirit as he reflected on this latest setback.
After a short rest, he condensed yet another Primordial Spirit Mark and resumed the compression process.
Time slipped away as Lu Qing remained immersed in the repetitive task of tempering the mark.
Ten days passed.
"Finally, the Hundred Tribulations Mark is complete."
Fatigue was visible in Lu Qing’s eyes, but he could feel the Primordial Spirit Mark within his Forehead Acupoint emitting a strange, unique aura.
Within that aura, a subtle hint of immortality could be detected.
Over the last ten days, after nearly a hundred unsuccessful tries, he had finally produced a Primordial Spirit Mark that had survived a hundred cycles of life and death.
This Hundred Tribulations Mark met the absolute minimum requirement of the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter] for imprinting upon the World Origin.
According to the instructions of the [Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter], anyone unable to form at least a Hundred Tribulations Mark would find it impossible to endure the World Origin's might.
