Upon hearing that Lu Qing had woken up, his attending physician rushed over.
After a thorough inspection, he exclaimed in disbelief that it was a miracle.
It was said that the blood clots in Lu Qing's brain disappeared somehow.
So he just needs to rest for a while and wait for the brain injury to heal a little before he can be discharged from the hospital.
So Lu Qing stayed in the hospital for another three days before being discharged and returning home with his parents.
During these three days, his mother came to take care of Lu Qing every day, allowing him to feel the long-lost warmth.
"I never thought that I would be able to go home one day."
Standing in front of his own yard, Lu Qing felt a little emotional.
Everything in the yard felt strange and familiar to him.
"Ah Qing, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Lu Qing seemed a little dazed, Mother Lu asked worriedly.
"It's okay, Mom. Go ahead and do your work. I'll just walk around on my own."
Lu Qing smiled slightly and comforted his mother.
After his parents went into the house to clean up, Lu Qing began to wander around the yard. He touched the things in the yard with his hands, feeling a sense of familiarity from deep in his heart, and his mind gradually relaxed.
At the end, he smiled as if he had made some decision.
In the following time, Lu Qing recuperated at home with peace of mind.
Half a month later, the injury on his head was completely healed.
After going to the hospital for a follow-up examination, the doctor carefully examined Lu Qing and finally told him that he had fully recovered without any sequelae, which was a miracle in the medical field.
Lu Qing didn't care whether it was a miracle or not.
After fully recovering, he returned to the company to continue working.
Time passed day by day.
Every day, Lu Qing either goes to work at the company or stays at home with his parents, leading a peaceful life.
At the beginning, Lu's father and mother thought that this kind of life was great. Their son had escaped death and walked through the gates of hell. Now not only has he recovered, but he has also become more filial. What could be better than this?
However, after a few years, the two elders saw that Lu Qing still stayed at home every day except for going to work. Apart from that, he had almost no social interaction, let alone having a girlfriend.
Finally, one day, during the weekend, Lu's father and mother found Lu Qing curled up on the sofa reading a book.
"Aqing, we have something to tell you." Mother Lu looked a little serious.
"What's the matter, Mom?" Lu Qing closed the book.
"It's like this. You're not a child anymore. It's not good to stay at home every day during the holidays. Have you ever thought about finding a girlfriend?" Lu's mother asked tentatively.
"Looking for a girlfriend?" Lu Qing was stunned.
"Yes, you are almost thirty years old, and it's time for you to find a girlfriend. Your mother and I want to have grandchildren." Dad Lu said with a serious face.
"So it's you two elders who want to have grandchildren." Lu Qing suddenly realized, but he shook his head, "Let's talk about this later."
Seeing this, Lu's mother tried to persuade him for a while, but Lu Qing just shook his head.
The two elders had no choice but to leave helplessly.
But they did not give up. In the following days, Lu Qing found that young and beautiful girls appeared in his house from time to time.
After asking, I found out that his parents had asked a matchmaker to introduce a girl to him.
Lu Qing shook his head in silence and could only deal with it slowly.
Although he was very polite and courteous to those girls, he failed to achieve anything good in the end because of his deliberate rejection, which made Lu's father and mother angry and helpless.
Time passed year after year as Lu Qing delayed.
In the blink of an eye, he was already forty years old.
Over the years, Lu Qing still has not taken the initiative to meet any girls, let alone get married and have children.
As for Lu Qing, his father and mother had already faced the reality when he was 35 years old and stopped urging him to get married and have children.
They also figured it out. Their son survived the disaster and was blessed to be alive. They couldn't ask for too much.
As his parents stopped forcing him to get married and have children, Lu Qing's life became easier.
Soon, another year passed, and Lu's father and mother's hair began to turn gray, and the wrinkles on their faces gradually increased.
In the end, under Lu Qing's care, they slowly came to the end of their lives.
"Dad, Mom, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
In the hospital, looking at his parents who were breathing weakly, Lu Qing asked softly.
"There's no regret at all." Mother Lu smiled softly. "If I really have one, it's that your father and I didn't get to see you get married and have a grandchild."
"Yeah, I don't know why you are so stubborn. There were so many good girls back then, but you really didn't like any of them?" Dad Lu also asked in confusion.
"It's not that they are bad, but my son can't get too involved in karma, otherwise he might really sink into this world and never get out."
Lu Qing said seriously.
"Cause and effect? Ah Qing, what are you talking about?" Lu Ma asked puzzled.
"It's nothing. You two elders are tired, so just have a good rest."
Lu Qing's voice was extremely gentle.
"Well, Mom is indeed a little tired and wants to sleep for a while. What about you, Dad?"
"I'm tired too. Let me sleep with you for a while."
The two elders slowly closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Qing, whose hair was also a little gray and whose face was wrinkled, looked at them gently.
Until the two elders' breath became weaker and weaker, and finally their breathing stopped completely, and their life force completely dissipated, Lu Qing was still looking at them.
It seemed as if he wanted to completely engrave the peaceful sleeping faces of the two old people in his mind.
After a long time, Lu Qing took a last look at the two elders, then slowly turned around, walked out of the house and came to the yard.
He looked at every blade of grass and tree around him, bit by bit, as if he wanted to remember everything completely.
Finally, his gaze slowly moved upwards, finally settling on the dazzling sunset in the sky.
He kept watching and finally smiled gently.
"Whether you are the manifestation of the Great Dao or the will of some mysterious creature, I still want to thank you for helping me make up for a regret in my heart.
Unfortunately, fake is still fake after all, and everything has to end."
As Lu Qing finished speaking, nothing around him changed.
It seemed as if it was just his mumbling.
But Lu Qing didn't care, he still looked at the setting sun.
As he watched, the setting sun, which was originally slowly sinking, stopped moving at some point.
Then, at a certain moment, the red sunset suddenly turned upwards.
It was like a creature suddenly opened its eyes, revealing very strange pupils.
The strange eyes hanging in the sky stared at Lu Qing without any expression.
The whole world began to turn dark red, as if blood was flowing.
"It's useless. This illusion can't trap me."
Faced with the sudden change, Lu Qing's expression did not change at all, as if all this had been expected by him.
He shook his head slightly, his mind slightly shaken.
The whole world suddenly began to shake and twist, gradually shattering.
The eye in the sky also did not move in the face of these changes, but just kept staring at Lu Qing.
Until the whole world shattered, the eyes slowly disappeared.
Lu Qing watched quietly as the strange eyes disappeared, but his body was absorbing fragments of the surrounding world.
"Master, what happened? Why hasn't there been any movement for so long?"
Just as Lu Qing was absorbing the last breath of thunder.
In the outside world, the "Yan" in the Lihuo Ding was looking at Lu Qing anxiously.
From the moment the ninth thunderbolt struck, a full quarter of an hour had passed.
Lu Qing still stood there without any movement.
You know, after the first eight thunders, Lu Qing was only unconscious for more than ten breaths at most, and then he quickly woke up.
But this time, so much time has passed, but Lu Qing is still not awake.
This made "Yan" worry.
However, no matter how worried it is, it can only worry for now.
After all, this is Lu Qing's heavenly tribulation, and it doesn't even know what this third tribulation cloud is testing, so it can't do anything at all.
All it can do now is to secretly activate the Lihuo Ding and be ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.
Dozens of breaths passed while "Yan" was worried. After seeing Lu Qing let out a long sigh, it finally opened its eyes.
"Master, you're awake!"
"Yan" couldn't help but shouted in surprise.
"Yeah, I'm fine. How long did it take me to survive this last thunderbolt?"
Lu Qing asked with a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes.
"Not very long, just a little over a quarter of an hour."
"Yan" answered immediately.
"It's only been a quarter of an hour..." Lu Qing said softly.
In the illusion, he actually spent more than fifty years.
Of course, he spent these more than fifty years willingly.
Otherwise, he would have broken out of the illusion long ago.
Many memories of more than fifty years of living in the fantasy world flashed through Lu Qing's mind, and his memory finally stopped at the scene of the two elders sleeping peacefully.
He smiled, and the vicissitudes in his eyes disappeared, and he regained his clarity.
At the same time, the qi and blood in the body surged, the magic power vibrated, and the soul figure in the dantian qi sea suddenly moved.
Holding the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd in his hand, he rushed straight up and appeared in the acupoint between Lu Qing's eyebrows.
As soon as it enters the space of the eyebrow acupoint, the soul directly occupies the most central position.
The soul talisman guarded by the five spirit beads flew out of the earth spirit bead and fell into the hands of the soul figurine.
As for the five spirit beads, they turned into a ring and floated behind the head of the little soul figure.
In this way, Lu Qing's soul sat cross-legged in the center of his eyebrow acupoint, with the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd in his left hand, the Soul Talisman in his right hand, and five original spirit beads floating behind his head, looking extremely magical.
And it was at the moment when the soul entered the eyebrow acupoint.
From the sky, a streak of light fell and landed on Lu Qing.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Qing felt that his body and qi were united, and his qi and spirit were united, and the three began to merge into one, truly entering a mysterious realm.
He began a new round of transformation. Whether it was his physical body, magic power, or spiritual power, they all began to increase dramatically!
A force powerful enough to shake space began to permeate him.
Lu Qing knew that this was the change he had undergone after going through three tribulations and finally entering the true realm of the soul.
He looked up at the vortex of heavenly tribulation in the sky, but saw that the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation had already dissipated.
Even the vortex of heavenly tribulation began to slowly disappear after the falling light.
This scene naturally immediately attracted the attention of all the powerful people in the outside world who were paying attention to the movements of the heavenly tribulation.
"Look! The vortex of heavenly tribulation is about to dissipate and disappear!"
"It's finally dispersing. Does that mean the eye-shaped calamity cloud is the last one?"
"A single heavenly tribulation actually had three types of tribulation clouds and twenty-seven tribulation thunderbolts. This has never been recorded in the entire history of cultivation. What kind of heavenly tribulation is this?"
"Whatever the calamity, it's clear that the creature that endured it is still alive. Everyone must be careful. Any creature that can trigger such a strange calamity must not be an ordinary creature!"
"Don't worry, I have already notified the Holy Alliance in advance, and some elders are already rushing here."
"Alright, before the elders arrive, try not to clash with the beings undergoing the tribulation!"
On the side of the human cultivators, a group of powerful souls communicated with each other, planning how to deal with the next situation.
On the other side, the powerful spirits of the demon race were also discussing.
"The vortex of heavenly tribulation is about to dissipate. Be ready to go at any time."
"First, find out what the calamity is. If it's from one of our demon race, it's fine. But if it's from the human or demon race, we'll make plans based on the situation."
"This heavenly tribulation is strange, and the one who endures it must be unusual. Everyone must be careful."
"I just received a message that the Zhenwu Demon King is heading this way."
…
"The heavenly tribulation is about to end. Ah Qing has successfully survived the tribulation!"
In the mountains and forests, Xiao Li was also extremely surprised.
"But Xiaoli, what should we do now? If we go over there, we will definitely be discovered by the powerful souls above." Bai Jiao asked.
"We don't need to go over there. Once Ah Qing stabilizes his realm, he will come over. We can just stay here now."
During the conversation between Xiao Li and Bai Jiao, the last trace of the vortex of heavenly tribulation in the sky slowly disappeared.
Upon seeing this, the powerful spirits of the two tribes were all cheered up.
However, just as they were about to set off and head to the place where the thunder had just fallen.
But they heard a loud bang, and the earth and sky shook, as if the road was shaking, which made them stop in their tracks.
"What happened again?"
The group of powerful souls were shocked and confused, but the next moment, all of their eyes couldn't help but widen.
In front of me, above the sky, there were countless colorful flowers condensing out of thin air and falling in a certain direction below.
And in the center of the place that was previously covered by the heavenly calamity, countless golden lotuses suddenly bloomed on the ground within a radius of ten miles.
At the same time, just as the shaking of heaven and earth had subsided, another sound of the Tao rang out, shaking the minds of all living beings.
Visions one after another seemed to be manifested by some newly born being.
These strange phenomena made the powerful souls of the two races stunned, and they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Flowers fall from the sky, golden lotuses emerge from the ground, and the sound of the great way resounds."
"What kind of existence is that person who just survived the tribulation? He could actually make the avenue resound, and heaven and earth celebrate together!" (End of this chapter)
