I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1220 - 749: Spiritual Charm Soaring to the Sky, Dangers Within the Trial Passage

How could he not feel a sense of dread? He had already been plotting how to settle his grievances with Mo Tushan.

Nevertheless, such matters had to be postponed until he could further advance his cultivation level.

"Very well, I shall commence a period of closed-door training to further my cultivation. This cave mansion is rich in spiritual energy; Little Li, you ought to cultivate here as well."

"Mm!"

Little Li gave a firm nod, its eyes shimmering with anticipation.

The thick spiritual energy present in this cave mansion would undoubtedly accelerate the growth of its cultivation level.

It was even possible to shatter the current bottleneck and ascend to the next realm!

However, Little Li chose not to remain by Lu Qing's side, opting instead to retreat to a distant corner of the cave mansion to begin its practice.

This was because Lu Qing would occasionally undergo a tribulation; staying too close might result in it being caught in the crossfire.

Lu Qing watched with a smile as Little Li scurried to the corner.

A Jade Bottle then materialized in his palm—the Purification Bottle bestowed by the Old Cyan Dragon, which served as a container for elixirs.

It was a pity that every pill inside was at the Primordial Spirit level; had they been lower, he would have shared some with Little Li.

He utilized his superpower to meticulously scan the contents, confirming that the elixirs were safe and untainted.

Only after this verification did Lu Qing extract a Nourishing God Pill, consuming it before sinking into a meditative state.

In an instant, the heavy spiritual energy within the cave mansion whipped into a vortex, funneling directly toward him.

The explosive medicinal energy of the pill, paired with the ambient spiritual energy, caused Lu Qing’s recently attained Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation cultivation to begin steadily climbing.

"It appears Ah Qing still harbors some suspicion toward us."

High above Spirit Void Peak, the Old Cyan Dragon and the three mutant beasts remained suspended in the air.

"That is only natural for a human. Given how suddenly we have shown him such kindness, any person would be on guard. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch," the Black Bull remarked.

"Time shall be our witness," Ming Feng added with a calm demeanor. "Our acquaintance has been brief; Ah Qing does not yet truly know us. Once he understands our character, he will see that we harbor no ill intent."

"Indeed, with enough time, Ah Qing will recognize our sincerity," the Old Cyan Dragon said softly.

They possessed more than enough patience to prove their goodwill to Lu Qing.

A genius of such unparalleled caliber was well worth the dedication.

"Now then, let us plan Ah Qing's future training. Mastering the Array Dao demands an immense amount of resources. Old Cyan Dragon, does the Treasure Vault contain enough wealth?" Ming Feng inquired.

"It is difficult to say." The Old Cyan Dragon let out a weary sigh. "When the master departed, he took the majority of the Immortal Palace’s treasures. The remaining stock in the Treasure Vault should suffice to guide Ah Qing to the Unity Realm Stage.

However, reaching the Transformation Realm is a different matter. As you know, that stage cannot be attained through mere accumulation of resources."

Ming Feng fell into a silent contemplation.

Truly, the Transformation Realm was a daunting peak to scale.

Even making progress after reaching the Unity Realm Stage was an arduous journey, demanding deep personal insight rather than just physical resources.

If it were otherwise, they would not have remained stagnant in the Initial Realm of Unity for several millennia.

"Do not worry. With talent like Ah Qing's, the Unity Realm will not be an obstacle; I have full faith in him. If even he cannot reach the Transformation Realm, I cannot fathom who else could," the Black Bull asserted.

Remembering the incredible talent Lu Qing had already displayed, both Ming Feng and the Old Cyan Dragon nodded in silent agreement.

Never had they encountered a cultivator with such a terrifying aptitude for the Array Dao.

By comparison, even the most brilliant direct disciples their master once taught seemed quite ordinary.

"Hmm?"

While the three mutant beasts were conversing, the Old Cyan Dragon suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise.

"What has happened, Old Cyan Dragon?" the Black Bull asked.

"It is nothing much, simply that two more cultivators have simultaneously reached the fourth level within the Sword Dao trial."

"More have managed to break through to the fourth level?"

The Black Bull was genuinely surprised.

It appeared that this particular exploration of the secret realm had attracted a fair share of geniuses.

Still, they were leagues behind Lu Qing; in the end, they were destined to walk away with very little.

"Indeed, the Sword Dao comprehension of these two is quite impressive; they managed to navigate the trials left by the master with great speed."

"Since Ah Qing has entered seclusion and we have no pressing matters, why don't we observe the performance of these youngsters?" the Black Bull proposed suddenly.

"Very well. If any show true promise, we can offer them a few opportunities to forge good ties, even if we do not take them as disciples," the Old Cyan Dragon agreed with a nod.

Surprisingly, even the normally distant Ming Feng did not voice any disagreement.

With a subtle distortion of the air, the three massive figures vanished from the second level of the Immortal Palace.

"Senior Brother Yu Jian, I did not expect that we would clear this level at the same moment."

Within the fourth layer of the Sword Dao trial, Qing Xii offered a smile to Yu Jian.

Unlike the Array Dao trial Lu Qing had faced, this Sword Dao trial allowed participants to interact with one another.

"Junior Sister, your understanding of the Sword Dao is truly remarkable; I am deeply impressed," Yu Jian said, praising her.

His compliment was sincere, born of genuine astonishment.

Despite Qing Xii having a lower cultivation level than his own,

they had conquered the third level at nearly the exact same pace.

This suggested that her talent in the Sword Dao was at least equal to his, if not superior.

He could not help but feel a sense of wonder.

"Senior Brother is too kind. I am merely keeping pace for now, but I suspect I will fall behind as we progress," Qing Xii said, shaking her head.

She was well aware of her own circumstances; she had only made it this far by relying on her unique constitution.

When it came to pure Sword Dao comprehension, she felt she lacked the lifetime of dedication that Yu Jian of the Sky-breaking Sword Sect possessed.

She feared that the later, more difficult levels would eventually prove too much for her.

"Junior Sister is being far too modest," Yu Jian replied, not sharing her doubts.

Seeing his insistence, Qing Xii chose not to argue and instead changed the subject.

"By the way, Senior Brother, according to the records of my sect’s ancestor, we may encounter trialists from other paths once we enter the fifth level. We must be on our guard."

"Indeed, the ancestors of my sect left similar warnings; please remain cautious, Junior Sister," Yu Jian’s expression turned solemn.

He thought back to the records that described the fifth level as a place of bloody conflict.

His ancestor had emphasized that the first person to reach the fifth level would hold the advantage, a detail he kept firmly in mind.

With that thought, Yu Jian spoke up, "Junior Sister, let us examine the challenge of this fourth level."

"After you, Senior Brother."

The area Yu Jian and Qing Xii stood in was vast and empty, save for a massive Trial Sword Stone positioned in the center.

Being familiar with the format, the two approached the stone without hesitation.

The mechanics of the Sword Dao channel were straightforward.

Every level featured a Trial Sword Stone imbued with a specific, unique Sword Intent.

The goal for the trialists was to perceive and then condense that Sword Intent.

If a participant could use that comprehended intent to carve a three-inch deep mark into the stone within the allotted time, they would pass.

As they stood before the Trial Sword Stone, the expressions of both Yu Jian and Qing Xii grew heavy.

The task sounded simple, but it demanded profound Sword Dao comprehension.

Many prodigies from the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect had entered, yet only these two had reached this stage.

This was a testament to the sheer complexity of the Sword Intent hidden within the stone.

Focusing their minds, the two began to immerse their Heart and Spirit into the Trial Sword Stone, searching for the essence of the intent within.

"Boom!"

While Yu Jian and Qing Xii were lost in meditation, a figure clad in a Purple Dragon Robe finally demolished a black pillar in another trial path.

Shortly after his victory, a pillar of light descended to envelop him.

"At last, the third level is cleared."

The middle-aged man in the Purple Dragon Robe had succeeded, but his face remained devoid of any joy.
