I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1175 - 726: Five Declines of the Celestial, First Tribulation Primordial Spirit_2
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
In terms of advancement power, even a Five Tribulation Demon King would fall short when compared to him.
Although his physical body and Primordial Spirit were being eroded by the deathly stillness of the Tribulation Qi, the immense vitality surging within Lu Qing allowed his regeneration to outpace the damage.
Because of this, Lu Qing looked ghastly, as if he might crumble into decay at any moment.
However, his true Foundation remained largely untouched.
An hour passed in this state before the massive cloud of dead Tribulation Qi began to thin out, while Lu Qing’s internal life force stayed overwhelmingly potent.
Finally, the retreat of the last wisp of Tribulation Qi marked the successful and safe conclusion of Lu Qing’s first Primordial Spirit Tribulation.
The moment the tribulation was surmounted, the power of the Great Way inside Lu Qing underwent another profound evolution.
From the depths of the void, a colossal amount of energy saturated with the essence of the Dao manifested, enveloping Lu Qing’s entire being.
Lu Qing immediately sensed a transformation taking hold of his physical form, his mana, and his Primordial Spirit.
A significant amount of time passed before the influence of the Great Way slowly ebbed away.
Lu Qing could feel that his body, mana, and Primordial Spirit had all been vastly fortified; his strength had reached a new peak.
"Excellent. With the power I hold now, I wouldn't even need to use Divine Skills or the True Witch body. By merely employing standard Taoist Skills, there are very few Five Tribulation Primordial Spirits who could stand against me."
A look of contentment crossed Lu Qing's face as he evaluated the shifts in his power.
This is the true benefit of possessing an exceptionally deep Foundation.
With every breakthrough, his strength explodes, instantly distancing him from former rivals until they can no longer even dream of threatening him.
"Still, within the Primordial Spirit realm, the stages before and after the Five Tribulations are entirely different worlds. Raw power isn't the sole metric of combat strength; I cannot afford to be reckless."
Despite the massive surge in his abilities following this breakthrough, Lu Qing inwardly cautioned himself against falling into the trap of arrogance.
Regarding the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, the first five levels primarily focus on the expansion of power.
Each time a cultivator survives a tribulation, their raw energy and lifespan increase dramatically.
However, the nature of these trials shifts after the Five Tribulations.
Beyond that point, crossing a tribulation grants more than just longevity and power; it bestows unique, extraordinary capabilities.
The profound ability to manipulate Space Law is a prime example of such a gift.
Certain abilities are determined by the innate talent of the cultivator and the specific Cultivation technique they follow.
In short, any Primordial Spirit Great Power who has surpassed Five Tribulations is a titan among men and incredibly difficult to defeat.
Even with Lu Qing’s current unmatched strength and his various secret weapons, he knew he had to remain vigilant when encountering foes of that caliber.
Of course, these thoughts were merely Lu Qing’s internal warnings to himself.
He was currently staying in his home world, a place so isolated and remote that it was nearly impossible to locate.
In this entire world, there were no other cultivators at the Primordial Spirit realm besides himself.
Consequently, there was no one present who could pose even the slightest threat to him.
These precautions were simply Lu Qing’s way of remembering the old adage: beyond the mountains, there are always higher peaks.
"While safety isn't a pressing concern, the deduction of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique can no longer be put off."
After a brief period of quiet thought, Lu Qing turned his attention toward his next objective.
He needed to continue the deduction of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique.
While he had successfully begun the deduction process back in the Witch Clan’s Trial Secret Realm, he had been limited by time.
He had only managed to complete the technique for the first tribulation.
The subsequent stages had been left unfinished due to the ticking clock.
Now that the first Primordial Spirit Tribulation was behind him, finishing the rest of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique was an urgent task.
If he didn't, his rapid Cultivation speed would soon leave him with no higher techniques to practice.
"The timing is right. Since the levels of my two Divine Skills have been raised, I should dedicate the coming days to deducing the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique."
Lu Qing made his final decision.
However, he didn't dive into the deduction immediately; he intended to rest for a short period before entering seclusion again.
The process of comprehending the Illusion Path and upgrading his Divine Skills had taken two full years, which was longer than he had anticipated.
Furthermore, he had just endured the Primordial Spirit Tribulation.
He decided to let his heart and spirit relax before starting his next long-term retreat.
As he stepped out of the meditation room, Lu Qing spotted Little Li waiting by the door. The creature looked anxious, its tail twitching with worry as it stared toward the room.
The moment Lu Qing appeared, Little Li’s eyes lit up, and it bounded toward him.
"Ah Qing, you're finally out! What was that terrifying energy just now?"
It turned out that Little Li had felt the oppressive power of the Great Way and the freezing aura of the dead Tribulation Qi during the process, leading it to wait nervously outside the room.
Relieved to see him, the creature immediately voiced its questions.
"My Cultivation reached a breakthrough, which triggered a shift in the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Why, did it frighten you?"
Lu Qing reached down to pet Little Li’s fur, offering some comfort.
Upon hearing the explanation, Little Li’s eyes went wide with shock.
"A Cultivation breakthrough! Ah Qing, were you actually facing the Primordial Spirit Tribulation just now?"
"Correct. I’ve just successfully navigated the first Primordial Spirit Tribulation."
Lu Qing gave a small nod, confirming the truth.
"Crossing the first Primordial Spirit Tribulation so quickly..."
Little Li was stunned into silence.
Even though it was well aware of how fast Ah Qing progressed, this level of speed was still shocking.
After all, how much time had really passed since Lu Qing first entered the Primordial Spirit realm?
Little Li itself hadn't even managed to reach the Seventh Transition of the Golden Core yet.
Meanwhile, Ah Qing had already survived his first Primordial Spirit Tribulation to become a First Tribulation Great Power.
Little Li found it hard to believe; it seemed as though Ah Qing’s Cultivation speed hadn't slowed down after reaching the Primordial Spirit realm—it had actually gotten faster.
It was almost too much to process!
"Ah Qing, are you finished with your retreat for now?"
Little Li eventually snapped out of its daze and asked.
"Yes. We’ve been here for over two years. Little Yan surely misses us, so we should go home for a while."
"You're right. It’s been a long time. If we don't head back soon, Little Yan is going to start nagging us again."
Little Li nodded in agreement.
Secretly, however, it resolved to train much harder once they returned.
If it didn't, the distance between it and Ah Qing would only continue to grow.
At the very least, it needed to reach the Seventh Transition of the Golden Core as soon as possible.
Lu Qing accompanied Little Li away from the Jade Cave and made his way back to the village.
Despite the passage of two years, the village was as tranquil as ever, showing no significant changes.
Little Yan and Han Lingshuang were overjoyed at Lu Qing’s return.
While they had spent most of those two years in their own Cultivation retreats and hadn't felt the time slipping away, seeing Lu Qing again brought them great happiness.
Lu Qing observed that both Little Yan and Han Lingshuang had made impressive strides in their Cultivation during his absence.
Little Yan had reached the very peak of the Sixth Transition of the Golden Core, standing on the threshold of the Seventh Transition.
Han Lingshuang had reached the peak of the Third Transition of the Golden Core and was likely close to entering the Fourth Transition.
This progress was expected, as the elixirs Lu Qing had provided them were far from ordinary.
Any one of those pills would cause a frenzy among Golden Core cultivators in the outside world.
Even in a place like the Heavenly Origin Great World, they would fetch a high price in spirit stones as top-tier spirit pills.
Lu Qing was pleased that Little Yan and the others had followed his instructions not to become overly dependent on medicinal power.
Had they relied too heavily on the pills, their Cultivation Foundations would not be nearly as stable as they were now.
Seeing this, Lu Qing felt a sense of pride.
It proved that Little Yan and the others possessed the necessary self-discipline for true Cultivation, and his efforts in alchemy had not been in vain.
Once back in the village, Lu Qing returned to a slow-paced life, spending his days fishing and enjoying the company of Little Yan and the others to soothe his spirit.
After about ten days of relaxation, he entered seclusion once more to begin deducing the remaining stages of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique.
