I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1343 - 815: The Tenth Tribulation Emerges
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
After the black-robed elder departed, the white-haired senior stood elevated, staring into the far-off horizon with a baffling look etched on his countenance.
With a gentle murmur: "They all say a great calamity is coming, that the heavenly mechanism is in chaos. Let me see then, whether you are truly the one who triggers this disaster."
Likewise, within the starry expanse beyond the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Luo Yuantian was seated in a meditative pose inside his spatial abode, examining a strange deduction formation in front of him, his face showing clear frustration.
Regardless of his efforts in computation, he found himself unable to foresee the Human Race's destiny whatsoever.
The path ahead appeared totally enveloped in darkness; the heavenly mechanism stood in total disarray, impossible to discern.
Yet through his calculations, he detected a chilling killing aura that sent shivers through his core.
It felt as though some horrifying event loomed on the horizon, endangering even existences at the Unity Realm level like himself.
"They all say a great calamity is approaching. Might this disaster be fated to begin within the Heavenly Origin Great World?"
Luo Yuantian remembered an ancient foretelling that had spread across the cosmos since antiquity.
This foretelling was apparently derived by an ancient pinnacle Unity Realm expert skilled in the Path of Calculation, sacrificing his life in the process.
The foretelling declared that in times to come, a massive catastrophe would engulf the starry sky.
Beneath this catastrophe, life forms would meet their end, mighty figures would tumble, and even Unity Realm Great Powers could not escape entanglement.
Based on the timeline outlined in the foretelling, the event was slated for roughly the last ten to twenty thousand years.
Was the lethal aura he picked up in his calculations connected to this?
Luo Yuantian couldn't confirm, but an unexplained restlessness gripped his mind and soul.
After some reflection, he abruptly exited his spatial dwelling, morphing into a ray of brilliance that streaked along the world barrier toward another direction.
In the remote cosmos past the Heavenly Origin Great World, at the Sky-breaking Sword Sect.
A ray of light hurtled toward Sword Master Xuantian, who meditated upon a treacherous summit.
The Sword Master extended his hand to seize the incoming light, revealing it as a Messaging Sword Artifact.
He scanned the details within the sword artifact, and his forehead creased deeply in short order.
"Three years back, Mo Cangtian made a covert entry into the Heavenly Origin Great World?"
...
Oblivious to the upheavals beyond, Lu Qing continued undisturbed.
Three years of deep meditation brought about a flash of profound insight.
The instant the Light of Wisdom took form, he plunged into the profoundest depths of epiphany.
Instinctively, he commenced the deduction for the Tenth Tribulation within the Perfect Primordial Spirit Skill.
In this ultimate epiphany state, bolstered by extraordinary abilities.
Lu Qing’s speed in deducing the Primordial Spirit surged by hundreds or even thousands of folds.
The myriad arts he had mastered raced through his thoughts, while beams of divine insight erupted within his Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit Chapter granted by the Great Dao also flickered, its inscriptions shifting endlessly, as though revealing cosmic principles.
At last, amidst the dazzling glows, Lu Qing uncovered a way to surpass the Primordial Spirit's boundaries and unlock the uncharted path of the Tenth Tribulation!
Rumble!
The moment this insight dawned, Lu Qing seized hold of that beam of divine inspiration without delay.
His mind and soul echoed with the Great Dao's resonance, and the outline of a new cultivation method began to emerge in his consciousness.
Yet merely an outline wouldn't suffice; immersed in epiphany, Lu Qing's mind and soul worked at frantic pace.
Before long, he fleshed out the method's intricacies, steadily filling in the outline with more substance.
Unclear how much time elapsed, once the last incantation was inserted, Lu Qing had successfully derived and forged a full-fledged Tenth Tribulation cultivation method for the Primordial Spirit.
"Phew!"
Upon completing the method, Lu Qing emerged from his epiphany.
Releasing a prolonged sigh, he instantly sensed an intense weariness flooding his being.
Deducing the Tenth Tribulation of the Perfect Primordial Spirit was no trivial feat.
Even in the deepest epiphany, supported by extraordinary powers, Lu Qing consumed a vast quantity of mental energy to finally craft this tribulation's method.
To such an extent that, despite his solid base, a bone-deep exhaustion assailed his spirit, almost lulling him into slumber.
Lu Qing yielded to this sleepiness without resistance. After scanning his vicinity and detecting no issues.
He issued a quick directive to "Yan" inside the Leaving Fire Tripod, then surrendered to the drowsiness, slipping into profound rest to rejuvenate his mind and soul.
No telling how long the sleep lasted. When Lu Qing roused from his deep repose, he felt utterly revitalized, his mind and soul back at full vigor.
"Yan, how long have I slept this time?"
"A full year, Master."
"Slept for an entire year?"
Upon hearing Yan’s reply, Lu Qing felt mild surprise.
To his shock, this profound sleep had spanned such an extensive duration.
It appeared the mental energy drained by deducing the Tenth Tribulation method surpassed his estimates by far.
Lu Qing examined his inner state.
Within the Forehead Acupoint, the Light of Wisdom he formed had noticeably faded.
To employ it once more, he would require further accumulations of understanding to restore its brilliance for reuse.
Nevertheless, the Tenth Tribulation method stood complete—the toughest phase was behind him.
For the following two tribulations, aided by extraordinary powers, they ought to prove somewhat easier.
His immediate goal became confirming the Tenth Tribulation method's viability through rigorous testing.
Still, to cultivate the Tenth Tribulation method, he first needed to advance his own level to the Perfect Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.
Lu Qing assessed his inner realm. During these years, he had devoted himself entirely to grasping countless cultivation arts and deriving the Tenth Tribulation method.
As for actual cultivation progress, he had scarcely attended to it.
Though his realm had advanced modestly via the method's passive workings, it remained a modest gain.
Considerable ground still separated him from the Nine Tribulations Minor Achievement, much less the Perfection stage.
Thus, his priority now lay in boosting his cultivation to reach Perfect Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, then testing the deduced Tenth Tribulation method's effectiveness.
"I should proceed steadily."
Lu Qing felt no rush; after all, he possessed a substantial stock of Spirit Stones, with most of the superior ones from the Three Great Clans remaining mostly unused.
These reserves could amply sustain his advances up to the Tenth Tribulation and beyond to the next two.
He wouldn't face Spirit Stone shortages until nearing the Unity Realm.
Therefore, instead of haste, Lu Qing stepped out to visit Little Yan and Little Li.
He seized the moment to instruct Qin Zheng and the others in their practice before settling his mind once more and retreating to the cultivation chamber.
Positioned cross-legged at the heart of the cultivation chamber, Lu Qing flicked his wrist, dispersing a bounty of superior Spirit Stones to form the Spirit Gathering Array.
With a mental command, he triggered the array, allowing the dense, pristine spiritual energy to flood the chamber.
Lu Qing proceeded to circulate the cultivation method, absorbing the abundant spiritual energy, refining it, and bolstering his cultivation base.
"Supreme Elder, we have made a discovery!"
In the Netherworld Palace, the black-robed elder arrived beaming with excitement to face the white-haired senior.
"Oh, what discovery?"
The white-haired senior, who had been seated in contemplation, lifted his gaze.
"The hiding place of that person might have been discovered by us!"
"What did you say?" The white-haired senior’s eyes sparked with divine glow, and he urged, "Tell me every detail right away!"
"It’s like this: not long ago, a Primordial Spirit Realm assassin from our Netherworld Palace was carrying out an assassination. Though he succeeded, he was chased by the target's sect elder.
During his escape, he fled into a barren, expansive wilderness of mountains and woods.
This assassin excels in earth-based arts. To shake off the hunter, he burrowed far underground, intending to conceal his presence with the Earth Vein Qi.
Deep in that terrain, he stumbled upon an immense formation setup.
By the assassin's account, those formations were crafted with remarkable sophistication, blending seamlessly into the ground.
Absent a special Exotic Treasure for array detection, spotting them would have been out of the question.
After finding the array, he hurried back to inform us once the target's sect elder departed."
"Deep underground, there lies a vast array of formations?"
At these words, the white-haired senior’s gaze lit up instantly.
