I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1228 - 754: Comprehending the Laws, Cultivation Soaring
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Lu Qing had been contemplating how to settle his score with Mo Tushan. Upon hearing the words of the Old Azure Dragon, a plan began to take shape.
"Ah Qing, is it your intention to depart?"
Having existed for hundreds of millennia, the Old Azure Dragon had witnessed all manner of things. It deciphered Lu Qing’s intentions in an instant.
"I share a certain enmity with that Mo Tushan. I wish to discover an opening to resolve it," Lu Qing admitted, speaking with total transparency.
"That Mo Tushan has achieved the peak of the Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation and wields several formidable demon treasures; he is a troublesome opponent. Furthermore, the three of us are bound by our master's commands to refrain from attacking any cultivators who possess tokens to enter the secret realm. Consequently, we cannot assist you," the Old Azure Dragon said, a slight frown appearing on its face.
While the dragon respected Lu Qing’s unmatched genius regarding arrays, he was currently only at the Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations. He was far from being a match for an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit. Only if he were granted sufficient time to construct a massive array and lure his foe inside would he possess even a slim chance of victory.
However, Mo Tushan was a calculating individual who would likely never grant Lu Qing such a window of opportunity. The Black Bull and Ming Feng shared this assessment. They had been monitoring the cultivators participating in the trials and were well-informed. Among those who had entered the secret realm this time, Mo Tushan was ranked at the very top. He was not only powerful but also exceptionally ruthless and clever. Even during the brilliant Ancient Era, he would have been considered a standout figure.
Despite Lu Qing’s superior talent, his realm was simply too low to make a direct confrontation viable.
"I don't intend to head out and provoke him just yet," Lu Qing replied with a light smile. "I have only recently achieved a breakthrough. I require time to stabilize my cultivation before I seek out an opportunity."
He never entertained the thought of asking the three beasts to reclaim his dignity for him. Mo Tushan simply wasn't worth such an elaborate effort. Even with his current power, Lu Qing possessed significant confidence, though he chose not to voice it directly. He could see that the three mutant beast elders still doubted his capabilities.
Their skepticism was natural. The chasm between a Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit and an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit is immense. Since no one would believe they could fight on equal footing, he didn't bother to explain further. Actions speak louder than words; once he actually crushed Mo Tushan, all their uncertainties would evaporate. However, Lu Qing did not plan to hunt Mo Tushan immediately. He intended to settle down for a period first.
Having just stepped into the Five Tribulations realm, his Primordial Spirit power had intensified, allowing him to perceive the Sea of Laws. Now was the perfect moment to comprehend those laws and maintain his rapid increase in strength. Once he had fully integrated the gains from this breakthrough, it would not be too late to deal with Mo Tushan. Based on the progress of the others in the trial paths, they would likely remain stuck in the tests for quite some time.
"Indeed, given your talent, it is inevitable that you will surpass Mo Tushan with more cultivation. There is no reason to throw yourself into danger because of a moment's pique," the Old Azure Dragon said, nodding slightly. It believed Lu Qing understood the reality of the situation and was not acting on impulse.
"In that case, I shall leave Little Li in Elder Azure Dragon’s care for the time being. I will go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation," Lu Qing said, offering a bow.
"Go then. You have just broken through and must stabilize your foundation first."
Lu Qing gently patted Little Li’s head once more. "Little Li, study hard under Elder Azure Dragon. Make sure to be obedient, alright?"
"Mm."
Though Little Li hated to be away from Lu Qing, the creature understood that Ah Qing had worked hard to secure this chance, and it could not be squandered. Furthermore, reflecting on how Ah Qing’s cultivation speed had accelerated over the years, Little Li felt a surge of resolve. Regardless of the difficulty, it had to use this chance to grow stronger. At the very least, it wanted to be able to assist Ah Qing in the future instead of merely hiding inside the Leaving Fire Tripod whenever trouble arose.
After placing Little Li under the protection of the Old Azure Dragon, Lu Qing went back to the cave mansion on Spirit Void Peak. If he had a choice, he would prefer not to be apart from Little Li. Even though his superpower's probing confirmed that the three mutant beasts held no malice and truly wanted him to join the Immortal Palace, leaving Little Li behind still felt like a gamble. What ultimately swayed him was the disappointment he had sensed from Little Li earlier. He could feel the creature's hunger for power. Since that was the case, he would secure this opportunity for it.
Following a brief silence, Lu Qing cleared his mind and prepared to resume his practice. Focusing his heart and spirit, he reached out to sense the void. Before long, he detected the complex, vast array of laws within the Sea of Laws. This experience was different from when he had used the Divine Power Seed; his Primordial Spirit sense offered a much clearer and more holistic perception of the Sea of Laws. After a period of contemplation, a sense of enlightenment began to wash over him.
"So that is how it works. Within the Sea of Laws, an infinite number of laws are woven together, crossed by various Grand Daos that are impossible to fully grasp. The Space Dao is the most expansive and mysterious among them. Its true essence remains hidden and cannot be perceived, yet the laws that stem from the Space Dao are everywhere. This makes them detectable even to a common Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit. It is no wonder that upon reaching the Five Tribulations, mastering Spatial Power is the fundamental first step. Truly, the Space Law is among the simplest to detect within the Sea of Laws."
As the saying goes: only when one reaches a specific realm can they truly comprehend that level of cultivation.
