Chapter 763 Another Breakthrough, The True Meaning of Tribulation, Sixth Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit!
"It seems that the resources Aqing needs for cultivation are much larger than we expected."
The old dragon sighed at this moment.
It suddenly felt a little guilty.
Previously, the group had discussed how to use the remaining resources in the Immortal Palace to help Lu Qing quickly improve his cultivation.
According to the old Azure Dragon's estimation, the resources in the Immortal Palace should be sufficient to support Lu Qing until he reaches the Great Perfection of the Dao Integration Realm.
However, now that we see Lu Qingcai has already undergone the fifth tribulation of his primordial spirit, he has almost completely drained the spiritual energy of Lingxu Peak.
Old Azure Dragon, however, was uncertain.
If things continue like this, it's questionable whether the remaining resources in the Immortal Palace will be enough to sustain Lu Qing's cultivation until he reaches the Dao Integration Realm.
"Old Azure Dragon, this is not good. If things continue like this, we may not be able to provide Ah Qing with the cultivation resources she needs."
Black Bull also realized the problem and expressed some concern.
"We can only take it one step at a time." The old dragon sighed. "I never thought that one day our Immortal Palace would have to worry about cultivation resources. It's a pity that our main bodies cannot leave the Immortal Palace, otherwise we could go out and collect a batch of resources for A Qing."
"Don't even think about it!" Mingfeng said decisively. "Our master said that unless a great calamity occurs, we cannot leave the secret realm!"
“Of course we know, this is just a hypothetical situation, Mingfeng, please don’t get agitated,” the old dragon quickly reassured him.
"It's good that you all know what's going on!" Mingfeng said coldly.
Everything else is fine, but when it comes to the orders left by its master, it cannot afford to be careless.
"What about Aqing's cultivation?" the black bull asked.
Mingfeng said, "Hasn't Aqing changed to a different cave dwelling? Let's do it this way for now. There are so many cave dwellings on the second level. He can't possibly squeeze them all dry in a short time, can he?"
Even if that's the case, once he opens most of the cave dwellings, the cave dwellings on Lingxu Peak should also be able to be restored.
“That’s right. If it’s used repeatedly, there’s no need to worry.” The old dragon nodded.
Thus, although the old dragons noticed that Lu Qing had changed his cave dwelling, they did not disturb his cultivation, but instead kept a close eye on his movements in secret.
Anyway, the second-floor cave has been empty for so many years, so there's no point in keeping it.
If these cave dwellings could be used to cultivate an unparalleled expert, that would be an extremely worthwhile endeavor.
Then, three months later, the old Azure Dragons discovered that Lu Qing had left Lingming Peak, activated a nearby immortal mountain, and entered his cave to cultivate.
Lingming Peak, like Lingxu Peak before it, suffered a significant drop in spiritual energy, with less than one-tenth remaining.
"Can a single cave dwelling only support Aqing's cultivation for three months at this time?"
The old azure dragons, sensing this scene, couldn't help but gasp.
Lu Qing is only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage. The cave that was originally able to support the continuous cultivation of a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator only lasted for three months before becoming thin with spiritual energy.
What an terrifying speed at which spiritual energy is absorbed!
More importantly, Lu Qing absorbed almost all the spiritual energy of the entire cave, yet his cultivation level did not break through.
He is still at the Great Completion of the Fifth Tribulation, not even reaching the Perfection of the Fifth Tribulation.
The spiritual energy accumulated in an entire cave was not enough to enable Lu Qing to make a breakthrough to a minor level!
The old dragons dared not imagine what would happen after they survived one or two more tribulations and reached the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.
Each breakthrough Lu Qing made in his cultivation realm required an immense amount of spiritual energy.
Can this two-story immortal cave really support and control his cultivation?
Three months later, under the watchful eyes of the old Azure Dragon and his companions, Lu Qing reappeared.
However, this time, his cultivation had improved, reaching the perfect state of the fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit.
After activating the fourth immortal mountain, Lu Qing entered his cave and continued his seclusion.
This time, however, he spent even less time cultivating in his cave. He emerged from seclusion just one month later to activate the next immortal mountain.
Seeing this, the hearts of the three old dragons skipped a beat.
They knew that their fears had come true.
As Lu Qing's cultivation level breaks through, the time each cave can support his cultivation will become shorter and shorter.
They just didn't expect that Lu Qing's absorption of spiritual energy would be so terrifying.
At the peak of the Fifth Tribulation realm, a single cave dwelling could only sustain his cultivation for one month.
If things continue like this, it's hard to say whether the entire second-level space of the Immortal Mountain Cave will be able to form a cycle.
Lu Qing was unaware of the old Azure Dragon's worries when he entered the seventh immortal mountain cave to cultivate.
He finally honed his skills to their peak and, without hesitation, triggered the aura of calamity from the darkness.
The next moment, the might of the Great Dao suddenly appeared, and a terrifying primordial spirit tribulation descended, with endless deathly aura and tribulation energy beginning to engulf Lu Qing.
Even more terrifying is that, in addition to the deathly aura and calamity aura, various calamities formed by laws also appeared, aiming to completely obliterate Lu Qing's physical body and primordial spirit.
The millstone of laws, woven from the five-colored laws and exuding the aura of the five elements, pressed down on Lu Qing.
There were also endless flashes of sword and blade light, hidden within the deathly aura and calamity energy, attacking him.
Even within his primordial spirit, countless illusions arose, seemingly trying to drag his mind into an endless illusion, causing him to sink into depravity.
"I see. After reaching the fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit, the subsequent tribulations of the primordial spirit are not just death energy tribulation energy."
Furthermore, the great laws that cultivators have comprehended will also manifest as calamities.
If one can overcome this obstacle, one will be able to gain a deeper understanding of these laws.
If one cannot overcome this, then both body and spirit will perish, and the body will vanish and the Dao will perish.
Feeling the many tribulations weighing on him, Lu Qing had a sudden realization.
No wonder most people in the Nascent Soul Realm focus on comprehending only one Great Dao Law after entering the fifth tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm.
It turns out that this is a tribulation after the fifth tribulation, which will also evolve into tribulations for the cultivators to understand the Great Dao Laws, and temper them.
The more profound the laws one comprehends, the more terrifying the calamities will be.
If one cultivates multiple paths simultaneously, the tribulations accumulate, making it even more difficult to overcome them.
Just like Lu Qing now, all sorts of calamities manifesting from the laws are simultaneously trying to obliterate him.
In other words, Lu Qing, if it were a weaker Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, or even someone like Mo Tu Shan, who was at the Eight Tribulation Nascent Soul Realm, would probably have already had their physical body melt away and their Nascent Soul annihilated.
"A calamity, perhaps..."
Lu Qing carefully sensed the tribulations formed by the surrounding laws, while his mind was filled with the various profound meanings of the [Eternal Heavenly Witch Body] techniques, as well as the essential principles of the sixth tribulation of the [Perfect God Technique] that he had created and deduced.
Gradually, a profound understanding of the true meaning of "calamity" began to emerge in his heart.
Just as Lu Qing triggered the calamity, the three strange beasts immediately reacted.
Even this time, without the old Azure Dragon's reminder, the Black Bull and the Crying Phoenix both sensed the immense aura of calamity.
“Old Azure Dragon!” Mingfeng immediately shouted.
Without hesitation, the old dragon swung its claws, and a spatial force swept up the three of them, teleporting them to the second level of space.
"It's Aqing undergoing her tribulation!"
Upon seeing the location from which the aura of calamity emanated, the three old dragons immediately understood what was happening.
In fact, before they arrived, they had already guessed that Lu Qing was undergoing tribulation.
After all, there were no other living beings in the second-level space besides Lu Qing.
However, the aura of this calamity was so exaggerated that it made them take notice.
"What kind of tribulation is Ah Qing undergoing? It feels even more terrifying than when she broke through from the eighth tribulation of the primordial spirit to the ninth tribulation of the primordial spirit?"
The black bull's expression changed as it sensed the overwhelming power of the Great Dao emanating from the cave.
Even when it first entered the ninth tribulation of the primordial spirit, the tribulations it experienced did not seem to be this exaggerated.
"Within this tribulation, there are fluctuations of various laws. This is probably because the laws that Aqing comprehended are too complex. The superposition of multiple law tribulations makes this primordial spirit tribulation appear so powerful," the old Azure Dragon said in a deep voice.
As a being well-versed in the ways of space, it can sense information more clearly than the Black Bull and the Phoenix.
Even with the cave's array blocking its way, it could still guess the situation inside with a high degree of accuracy.
Hearing this, the black bull and the phoenix immediately understood.
They are all at the Dao Integration Realm, and they all came up from the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Naturally, it is clear what the primordial spirit tribulation after the fifth tribulation will involve.
Besides the endless deathly aura and calamity energy, what is even more terrifying is actually the tribulation of the laws.
"It seems that A Qing has comprehended quite a few laws. This tribulation is so powerful, can he survive it?"
Worry appeared on the black bull's face.
"It's hard to say. Let's just hope that Aqing's comprehension of other laws isn't that great," the old Azure Dragon said solemnly.
The deeper one's understanding of the laws, the more intense the tribulations of the laws one will face when undergoing tribulations.
This was one of the reasons why the old Azure Dragons initially opposed Lu Qing's cultivation of other paths.
They originally thought that Lu Qing had only recently entered the fifth stage of the Nascent Soul realm and wouldn't have had time to comprehend too many laws.
Now it seems they were wrong.
Judging from the aura of impending doom emanating from the cave, he has likely comprehended many laws to a profound degree.
Otherwise, the might of the Great Dao would not be so powerful.
Recalling the various abilities Lu Qing had displayed in the battle against Demon Slaughter Mountain, even the old Azure Dragon couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
Lu Qing's talent is astonishing and unparalleled.
But excessive intelligence is easily damaged; too much talent can also attract more hardships, or even be envied by the heavens!
If one were to perish in a minor tribulation of the primordial spirit due to comprehending too many laws, it would be far too much of a loss.
Unfortunately, no matter how worried they are, they can only wait now.
The tribulations of the primordial spirit are manifestations of the might of the Great Dao, and are not something they can interfere with.
Let alone those at the Dao Integration Realm, even those at the Dao Transformation Realm wouldn't dare to interfere casually.
Otherwise, it would incur the wrath of the Great Dao, and even a Dao Transformation Immortal would face great trouble.
"So this is what 'calamity' is..."
While the old dragon and the others were anxiously waiting, Lu Qing slowly opened his eyes inside the cave.
At this moment, after being tormented by all sorts of calamities, his body was riddled with holes and almost broken, making him a pitiful sight.
However, Lu Qing didn't care too much; instead, a look of joy appeared in her eyes.
The injuries on his body were intentional, so that he could better experience the feeling of impending doom.
Just now, after personally experiencing the "calamity" formed by various laws, his understanding of the true meaning of "calamity" has finally deepened.
The [Eternal Heavenly Witch Body] left behind by that supreme being of the Witch Clan was created by comprehending the many calamity beasts of the world.
Its fundamental essence lies in the understanding of "calamity".
Only by understanding the true meaning of all the tribulations in the world can one devour them, transform them into one's own power, endure countless tribulations without being destroyed, and achieve the supreme body of a celestial sorcerer!
Lu Qing's current main cultivation technique is the self-created [Perfect God Technique].
However, this particular technique of his was derived from comprehending the true meaning of countless techniques he had mastered, extracting their most essential parts, fusing them into one, and finally deducing it.
The essence of the [Eternal Heavenly Witch Body] is naturally included within it.
Furthermore, due to the extraordinary nature of the hazy magical power within him, his Celestial Witch Body could still be activated at any time.
"Understand the true meaning of the calamity, then devour it to strengthen yourself."
A variety of insights welled up in Lu Qing's mind, and the circulation of his internal magical power also changed accordingly.
It began to operate primarily using the cultivation method of the "Eternal Heavenly Witch Body".
Instantly, a terrifying suction force emanated from his body.
The various laws and tribulations that had been bestowed upon his body, as well as the endless calamity and death energy, all paused for a moment.
The next moment, it surged into his body uncontrollably.
"With my current level of understanding, although I am not yet able to comprehend the essence of the endless tribulations in the world, dealing with these tribulations of the laws at hand is still a piece of cake."
Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing all his energy on circulating his internal energy.
The laws and tribulations that he absorbed into his body, as well as the endless tribulation energy and death energy, began to be forcibly devoured and refined, and then transformed into his own power.
However, Lu Qing soon frowned, sensing that the refining speed was a bit slow.
With a thought, the Yin-Yang Five Elements gourd held in the left hand of the primordial spirit in the acupoint between his eyebrows jumped and came to his dantian.
Immediately, a suction force emanated from within the gourd, which also swallowed a large amount of the Law Tribulation.
With the help of his natal magic treasure, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd, Lu Qing's speed in refining the Law Tribulation increased significantly.
A large amount of law tribulations and death tribulations were refined and transformed into his own energy, and the terrifying wounds on Lu Qing's body were also constantly healing.
Thus, after several days, there was no trace of calamity energy left in the entire cave; it had all been absorbed into Lu Qing's body.
Several days later, as Lu Qing refined the last trace of tribulation energy, the might of the Great Dao that enveloped his head trembled once more.
The next moment, endless strange spiritual energy surged from the sea of laws, completely engulfing Lu Qing.
After the calamity, things will turn around and things will improve.
This boundless and wondrous spiritual energy is the Great Dao's reward to those who successfully transcend tribulations.
Lu Qing accepted all offerings without hesitation, continuing to circulate his cultivation technique to quickly absorb the gifts of the Great Dao, wasting not a single drop.
His cultivation level has truly reached the sixth stage of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation.
The person's entire being, including their magical power, physical body, and primordial spirit, began to undergo a new round of transformation.
