I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1155 - 715: Life and Death Across Ten Thousand Tribulations, the Eternal Mark_2

"The Primordial Spirit Power required to forge this Hundred Tribulations Mark is truly immense."

Sensing the Primordial Spirit Mark nestled within his forehead acupoint, Lu Qing let out a soft sigh.

While the mark appeared tiny, the process of refining it had actually drained one percent of Lu Qing’s total Primordial Spirit Power.

One should not underestimate that single percent.

It must be remembered that Lu Qing possesses a perfect Primordial Spirit.

In terms of raw Primordial Spirit Power, his current capacity is already on par with those in the Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit Realm.

Consequently, his one percent is far more vast than the entire reservoir of power held by an ordinary practitioner of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

One can only imagine the sheer might of a Primordial Spirit Mark condensed from such a staggering amount of power.

"Still, a Hundred Tribulations Mark is insufficient; it barely reaches the baseline for imprinting upon and merging with the world’s origin.

According to the records of the ‘Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter,’ to eventually devour the world’s origin and grow stronger.

Or to reach the pinnacle of dominating the world’s origin and replacing the heavens' will with one’s own.

It is far better to forge a Thousand Tribulations Mark, or even a Ten Thousand Tribulations Mark!

Anything less, like a mere Hundred Tribulations Mark, makes one no better than a common mayfly.

It would only be capable of clinging to the world’s origin and consuming its power for revival, without the strength to achieve anything greater."

As the various insights of the ‘Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter’ flashed through his mind, Lu Qing’s resolve hardened.

With his natural talent, he was never going to settle for just the entry-level of this secret technique.

Granted, continuing the compression and refinement carried the risk of the Hundred Tribulations Mark collapsing.

If that mark—containing one percent of his essence—were to shatter, even his robust Primordial Spirit would suffer a heavy blow.

Nevertheless, this was a risk Lu Qing was willing to take; at the very worst, he would simply begin again.

Given his immense vitality, mending a slight injury to his Primordial Spirit would be a simple task.

Without further delay, he plunged back into his cultivation.

Having weathered many failures previously, Lu Qing had mastered the art of compressing the Primordial Spirit Mark.

The repetitive cycle of pushing the mark to the brink of destruction had tempered his Heart and Spirit, leaving him exceptionally calm.

As a result, his speed during the subsequent refining process did not falter; instead, it accelerated.

Soon, he was completing a full cycle of compression and refinement every few breaths.

Ten days passed in this manner, until Lu Qing finally succeeded in refining a Thousand Tribulations Mark.

Yet, he did not stop there, choosing instead to continue the grueling process of compression.

One month later.

As the final stage of refinement concluded, the Primordial Spirit Mark within Lu Qing’s forehead acupoint suddenly burst with a blinding radiance, initiating a profound transformation.

When the light eventually faded, a Primordial Spirit Mark pulsing with a mysterious aura hovered silently within his forehead acupoint.

This mark lacked a permanent shape, shifting constantly in form.

Arcane runes flickered in and out of existence within its core.

Merely gazing upon it evoked a powerful sense of eternity and immortality.

"The Ten Thousand Tribulations Mark is finally complete."

Though his eyes were clouded with exhaustion, Lu Qing felt the mark in his forehead and was overcome with satisfaction.

For over a month, he had compressed and refined this mark without a single moment of rest.

His consciousness had been stretched thin, as if he were performing a dance on the edge of a blade.

Even for a man of his caliber, his Heart and Spirit felt drained.

Even the Primordial Spirit within his forehead appeared somewhat lackluster and dim.

Fortunately, his persistence had paid off.

This Ten Thousand Tribulations Mark, born from thousands of refinements, had finally been manifested.

"A single Ten Thousand Tribulations Mark holds as much Primordial Spirit Power as my entire original Primordial Spirit. This secret technique is truly difficult to master."

Lu Qing was slightly stunned as he sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the mark.

He could feel the latent power stored within it.

If unleashed as an offensive strike, the resulting destruction would be catastrophic.

Any practitioner below the Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit Realm would likely have their soul snuffed out instantly upon impact.

Naturally, Lu Qing had no intention of using the Ten Thousand Tribulations Mark as a mere weapon.

It had been forged through too much hardship for that.

Of all the cultivation methods and secret techniques Lu Qing had encountered since he began his path.

In terms of sheer difficulty, the ‘Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter’ was undoubtedly the most challenging.

Even the ‘Undying Heavenly Witch Body’ had been easier to cultivate in the beginning.

It was only because of his exceptionally strong Primordial Spirit that he succeeded; any other Five Tribulations expert would have found it impossible to refine the Ten Thousand Tribulations Mark.

After a moment of reflection, Lu Qing steadied his Heart and Spirit.

Creating the Primordial Spirit Mark was only the initial phase of the ‘Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter.’

The next step involved imprinting this Ten Thousand Tribulations Mark onto the world’s origin, which would truly complete the technique.

However, in his current state, Lu Qing’s priority was to restore his Primordial Spirit.

Without full strength, he wouldn't even be able to perceive the world’s origin, let alone bond with it.

He retrieved a bottle of Elixir from his Qiankun Qi Bag, emptied the contents into his mouth, and began circulating his Qi to recover.

These pills, looted from a fallen Primordial Spirit Realm expert, were highly effective for soul recovery.

Given the sheer scale of Lu Qing’s Primordial Spirit, a few pills wouldn't suffice, so he consumed the entire bottle at once.

Under the surge of potent medicinal energy and his own innate vitality, Lu Qing’s Primordial Spirit began to mend rapidly.

In less than an hour, he had returned to his peak state.

Even so, he did not jump straight back into cultivation.

Instead, he walked out of the quiet room to give his Heart and Spirit a moment of respite.

The month-long ordeal of compressing the mark had kept his mind under extreme tension.

While his Primordial Spirit was restored, his mental fatigue required some relaxation.

The area outside the quiet room was peaceful, with his Puppet Avatar and Little Li meditating at opposite corners.

Sensing Lu Qing’s arrival, the Puppet Avatar opened its eyes.

However, since they shared a single consciousness, a quick thought from Lu Qing prompted the Puppet Avatar to close its eyes and resume its work.

"Ah Qing, are you finished with your training?"

Little Li, alerted by the movement, snapped out of its meditation and bounded onto Lu Qing’s shoulder.

"Not quite yet."

Lu Qing moved Little Li into his arms, softly stroking its fur.

"I’ve reached a critical point in my cultivation, and my Heart and Spirit are a bit weary, so I came out to clear my head."

"Is the technique you’re working on this time that difficult?"

Little Li was genuinely surprised.

To the little creature, Ah Qing’s talent for cultivation was peerless.

No matter the complexity of a technique, he usually mastered it with ease.

Even for arts he didn't practice, like the ‘True Dragon Nine Transformations,’ he could offer profound insights that cleared up Little Li’s confusion instantly.

For someone so gifted to feel fatigued was almost unimaginable to Little Li.

Could this secret technique be exceptionally perilous?

"This specific technique is quite unique, but I have it under control, so don’t worry."

Noticing Little Li’s concern, Lu Qing gave it a reassuring pat on the head.

"Mhm, then you must be careful."

Little Li nodded, nuzzling against Lu Qing’s hand.

After spending some time holding Little Li, Lu Qing felt his Heart and Spirit finally steadying.

After a short while, he set the creature down. "Alright, I’ve rested enough. It’s time to head back."

"Okay, Ah Qing, good luck!"

Little Li waved a paw in encouragement.

It could tell that whatever Lu Qing was working on was of vital importance to his future.

"Go on, you should get back to your own training as well."

Lu Qing walked back into the quiet room and sat down, preparing for the final stage of the ‘Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter.’
