Lu Qing was originally thinking about how to settle accounts with Mo Tu Shan.
Now, after hearing what the old Azure Dragon said, he had some ideas in his mind.
"Aqing, do you want to go out?"
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, the old dragon had seen everything and immediately saw through Lu Qing's thoughts.
"I have a grudge against that Demon Slaughter Mountain, and I'd like to find an opportunity to settle it."
Lu Qing did not hide his thoughts and spoke frankly.
"That Demon Slaughter Mountain is at the peak of the eighth tribulation of the primordial spirit realm, and he also possesses several powerful demonic treasures. He is not easy to deal with."
"Furthermore, the three of us have been ordered by our master not to attack cultivators who enter the secret realm with tokens, so we can't help you."
The old dragon frowned slightly.
Although it acknowledged Lu Qing's unparalleled talent in formations, it still recognized that he was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage and could not possibly be a match for an eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.
Unless there is enough time for Lu Qing to set up a grand formation and lure the enemy into a trap, there is no chance at all.
But that Demon Slaughter Mountain was shrewd and quick-witted; how could he possibly give Lu Qing such a good opportunity?
Black Bull and Mingfeng shared the same idea.
They had been watching the cultivators attempt their trials all this time, so they knew very well.
The cultivator from Demon Slaughter Mountain was among the top performers among all those who entered the secret realm this time.
Not only was he ruthless and heartless, but he was also incredibly powerful. Even in the ancient times when stars shone brightly, he would be considered a prodigy.
Although Lu Qing's talent is superior, his cultivation level is ultimately too low, and he would not be able to defeat him in a direct confrontation.
“This junior will certainly not go out to cause him trouble right now,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “This junior has just broken through and needs time to stabilize his cultivation. Let’s look for an opportunity when I have a better grasp of the situation.”
He never intended to ask these three people to help him get back at them.
It wouldn't be necessary to go to such great lengths for a mere Demon Slaughter Mountain.
Even with his current strength, he is quite confident.
Of course, he didn't say it directly.
He could tell that the three senior beasts still lacked confidence in him.
This is not surprising, as the difference in realm between a fifth-level and an eighth-level primordial spirit is still quite significant.
No one thought the two sides could fight each other, so he didn't explain much.
Facts speak louder than words. When he truly defeats Demon Mountain, all doubts will naturally vanish.
However, Lu Qing did not intend to go to Demon Slaughter Mountain right now, but planned to take some time to calm down.
He has just entered the Fifth Tribulation Realm, and his primordial spirit power has surged, allowing him to comprehend the Sea of Laws.
This is the time when one comprehends the laws and their strength continues to advance by leaps and bounds.
It won't be too late to cause trouble for Demon Slaughter Mountain once he has fully digested this breakthrough.
Judging from the progress of those people outside, it will probably take them quite a while longer in the test passage.
"That's right. With your talent, as long as you cultivate for a while longer, it's inevitable that you will surpass that Demon Slaughter Mountain. There's no need to put yourself in danger just because of a moment of anger."
Upon hearing Lu Qing's plan, the old Azure Dragon nodded slightly.
They assumed that Lu Qing was aware of the situation and would not act rashly.
"Then I'll temporarily entrust Xiao Li to Senior Canglong's care. I'll go into seclusion for a while to consolidate my cultivation," Lu Qing said, bowing.
"Go ahead, you've just broken through, you need to consolidate your cultivation first."
Lu Qing patted Xiao Li's head again: "Xiao Li, learn skills from Senior Canglong properly, and be obedient, understand?"
"Um."
Although Xiao Li didn't want to be separated from Lu Qing, it also understood that this opportunity was something that A Qing had worked hard to obtain for it, and it couldn't be wasted.
Moreover, thinking about how fast Aqing's cultivation speed had been increasing over the years, its resolve strengthened.
Regardless, it must seize this opportunity to strengthen its capabilities.
At least in the future, I should be able to help Aqing, instead of always having to hide in the Fire Cauldron.
After entrusting Xiao Li to the old Canglong for care, Lu Qing returned to his cave dwelling on Lingxu Peak.
If he could, he naturally wouldn't want to be separated from Xiao Li.
Although through his supernatural abilities, he knew that the three strange beasts truly meant him no harm and genuinely wanted to take him as a disciple of the Guixu Immortal Palace.
But entrusting Xiao Li to them is still a somewhat risky move.
What truly made him make this decision was Xiao Li's previous display of disappointment.
He could sense Xiao Li's desire for power.
Since that's the case, he'll ask for a chance to help him.
After a moment of silence, Lu Qing calmed his mind and prepared to continue his cultivation.
Concentrating his mind and sensing the void with his spirit, Lu Qing quickly sensed the countless complex laws within the sea of laws.
Unlike what he sensed through the seed of divine power before, this time the sea of laws he sensed with his own primordial spirit was more comprehensive and clear.
After pondering for a while, Lu Qing gradually gained an understanding.
"So that's how it is. In the Sea of Laws, countless laws intertwine and coexist, and various Great Daos run across it, making it difficult to see the whole picture. Among them, the Great Dao of Space is the most vast and the most unpredictable. Even the true appearance of the Great Dao is not revealed, and it cannot be sensed."
However, the laws derived from the Great Dao of Space are omnipresent, and even the most ordinary Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit can sense their existence.
No wonder that after entering the fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit, most people will first try to comprehend the power of space.
The laws of real space are among the easiest laws to sense in the sea of laws.
As the saying goes, only when you reach a certain level can you truly understand that level of spiritual practice.
After Lu Qing broke through to the fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit, he only needed to gain some insights to resolve many of the cultivation questions that had been lingering in his mind.
For example, the first thing that powerful beings at the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit realm comprehends is usually the power of space.
The laws of space are numerous and complex, making it one of the most perceptible laws in the sea of laws.
For example, the law of spatial displacement is one of the easier-to-master spatial laws.
However, the laws of space are notoriously easy to learn but difficult to master.
It is easy to grasp some basic spatial principles, but if you want to go further and understand the essence of space, you can sense the true spatial principles.
That would increase the difficulty by hundreds, thousands, or even millions of times.
Not a true spatial prodigy, but possessing unimaginable spatial talent.
Even if one were to spend a lifetime trying, it would be difficult to truly glimpse the true nature of the Great Dao of Space.
Therefore, most people at the fifth tribulation level or above in the Nascent Soul Realm, after mastering some basic spatial laws, turn to comprehending other Great Dao laws that are more suitable for them.
As one continues to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao, gradually understanding more of them, until the primordial spirit can truly observe the full picture of a certain Great Dao.
Ultimately, one's heart and mind become one with the Dao, merging one's spirit into the Great Dao and drawing upon a trace of its power for one's own use.
That realm is called the Realm of Harmony with the Dao.
After undergoing multiple transformations, Lu Qing's cultivation aptitude has indeed become incredibly powerful.
With the aid of his supernatural abilities, his comprehension reached an unbelievable level.
After entering the fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit, it was only his first time cultivating that he understood how to proceed on the path of cultivation after the fifth tribulation.
Even regarding the Dao Integration Realm, he had developed a slight understanding of it.
"If one comprehends the fundamental laws that suit them, then which laws resonate most with them?"
Lu Qing began to ponder.
As for the Great Dao of Space, he doesn't possess any spatial abilities and currently has difficulty sensing its location.
However, he now feels that there are actually quite a few paths that are close to him.
Firstly, because of the two supernatural powers, [Great Strength] and [Illusion], he has a natural affinity for the [Great Path of Strength] and the [Great Path of Illusion].
Secondly, it's because he has been cultivating all five elements simultaneously since he reached the Acquired Realm.
Therefore, its affinity with the Five Elements is also extremely strong.
As for other great paths, such as the Great Path of the Sword, the Great Path of the Blade, and the Great Path of the Formation.
Because the many secret methods of cultivation are also quite clear.
However, compared to the others, the Five Elements Dao was the most attractive to him.
Then his path of cultivation becomes clearer.
"Based on my understanding of the various Great Daos, the Five Elements Great Dao is the most compatible with me. Therefore, I now have a clue about the follow-up techniques of the Perfect Divine Art."
Lu Qing suddenly understood that he should go in the direction of the next stage of his [Perfect God Technique].
That is, taking the Five Elements as the foundation and other Great Dao laws as supplements.
Only by advancing in tandem with all the great laws can one push their cultivation to an even more terrifying level.
Once the inspiration struck him, Lu Qing did not hesitate and began to deduce the subsequent techniques of the [Perfect God Technique] with the help of his supernatural abilities.
Instantly, countless insights flashed through Lu Qing's mind.
While comprehending the various laws within the Sea of Laws, he also continuously deduced and perfected the techniques for the next few kalpas of the [Perfect God Technique].
Time flies, and soon another two years have passed.
On this day, Lu Qing opened his eyes, and it seemed as if there were galaxies flowing in his eyes, or as if countless laws of the Great Dao were flashing within them.
However, these strange phenomena soon disappeared, and Lu Qing's eyes returned to normal.
"We've finally built up the framework for the cultivation techniques for the next few tribulations."
A sigh appeared in Lu Qing's eyes.
For the past two years, his primordial spirit has been immersed in the sea of laws, comprehending those vast and profound laws of the Great Dao.
Through continuous verification and deduction, he finally deduced the entire sixth kalpa of the [Perfect God Technique], and also built the framework for the following three kalpas.
Of course, it's just a framework.
The complete and specific techniques still require him to devote a great deal of effort to gradually supplement and perfect them.
However, this creation of a new method also brought Lu Qing great benefits.
He not only gained a profound understanding of the various fundamental principles that he was familiar with.
Even his own cultivation level has advanced further, and he has completely stabilized the Fifth Tribulation Realm.
"More importantly..."
Lu Qing stretched out a palm, and with a thought, a tiny spatial vortex suddenly appeared on his palm, slightly distorted.
"I've finally mastered the power of spatial distortion."
A smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.
During his two years of in-depth study, he also grasped some of the more basic spatial laws.
He even managed to comprehend the secret technique of spatial teleportation.
In the future, he will no longer need to use teleportation talismans to teleport; he can do it on his own.
Of course, within the celestial palace, he still cannot travel through the void on his own.
After all, the space here is too stable. With his abilities, being able to slightly distort the space is already the limit.
However, mastering the power of space is still of great significance to Lu Qing.
This further narrowed the gap between him and the top-tier primordial spirits.
After all, he had already understood many things through comprehending the laws of nature.
For example, due to the special nature of the Great Dao of Space, even a top-tier primordial spirit may not necessarily have a stronger understanding of the laws of space than someone with a lower realm.
Lu Qing is now able to manipulate the space within the Immortal Palace, even if only slightly, which is already stronger than many top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators.
The reason he was able to master the power of space so quickly was thanks to his experience in making teleportation talismans and the Void Ship, a rare treasure with the essence of a Dao artifact.
Especially the Void Ship, this extraordinary treasure has carried Lu Qing through the deepest levels of the void many times.
This also gave him a profound understanding of the essence of space.
It is also of great help in understanding the laws of space.
"Unfortunately, even so, I still can't sense the location of the Great Dao of Space. It truly deserves to be one of the most mysterious Great Daos." Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
The Great Dao of Space is omnipresent, yet unlike other Great Daos, it cannot be directly sensed.
Even if he had mastered certain spatial laws to a very profound degree, he still found it difficult to truly sense the essence of this Great Dao.
"I'll ask Senior Azure Dragon for advice when I have time later."
From their initial conversation, Lu Qing knew that the old Azure Dragon clan was extremely skilled in the Dao of Space.
Perhaps he can consult this Dao-aligned master in the future.
After a period of emotional turmoil, Lu Qing finally calmed down.
Now, he has also built the framework for the next few kalpas of the [Perfect God Technique].
What remains is just a matter of refining the details, which can be done in a timely manner.
On the contrary, although his cultivation has not stagnated in the past two years, it has not increased much either, and it is time for him to formally begin his cultivation.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing scattered a piece of mid-grade spirit stone, which landed on the ground and formed a large spirit-gathering array.
At the same time, he took out the remaining pills that the old Azure Dragon had given him and swallowed them all.
Although the spiritual energy on Lingxu Peak is abundant, his subsequent cultivation will also be extraordinary.
Therefore, the richer the spiritual essence, the better.
With everything arranged and prepared, Lu Qing closed his eyes and began cultivating again.
As the cultivation technique circulated, a terrifying suction force emanated from his body, rapidly engulfing the incredibly dense spiritual energy within the cave.
His cultivation level also began a new round of rapid increase.
And so, another year passed.
When Lu Qing awoke from his cultivation, he discovered that the spiritual energy in the cave had become much thinner.
Clearly, even this extremely high-level immortal mountain cave could no longer withstand the strain of his cultivation.
However, the results achieved were also very substantial.
"Having completed the Fifth Tribulation, I should be able to challenge that Demon Slaughter Mountain now, right?"
Lu Qing felt the surging power within him and murmured to himself. (End of Chapter)
