Chapter 764 All Kinds of Transformations, and Poverty Again
"The aura of tribulation has disappeared; Aqing has successfully overcome her tribulation!"
At the moment when the calamity dissipated and the Great Dao descended with divine and spiritual energy.
The old dragons outside the cave also immediately sensed it and all showed joy on their faces.
The aura of the previous tribulation was too strong, almost exceeding the limit that the Nascent Soul Realm could withstand.
Even though they knew that Lu Qing had a profound foundation that far surpassed that of other cultivators at the same level, they were still very worried.
Fortunately, we've finally made it through.
"I wonder how strong Aqing will be after this breakthrough," said the black bull.
The old Azure Dragon and the Crying Phoenix also had expectations.
Even when he was still at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Qing was able to easily crush Demon Slaughter Mountain.
Now that he has entered the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul Tribulation, his strength will surely increase dramatically once again.
It is probably comparable to a true Nine Tribulation Primordial Spirit.
And so, the three strange beasts waited outside the cave for another three days before they sensed the Great Dao's might slowly receding and returning to calm.
Inside the cave, Lu Qing sat cross-legged, cultivating.
Many illusory images of laws emerged behind him, among which the most eye-catching and conspicuous was the Five Elements Law surrounded by five colors.
Lu Qing is experiencing the changes that come after his breakthrough.
First, there is an increase in strength.
After entering the sixth tribulation of the primordial spirit, he underwent a new transformation in terms of magical power, primordial spirit, and physical body, becoming even more powerful.
Even without using his true witch form, he could still blast Demon Slaughter Mountain apart with a single punch.
In addition to the increase in strength, there are also laws.
After breaking through to the sixth tribulation, Lu Qing's perception of the sea of laws became even clearer.
The principles they had previously comprehended have been grasped even more profoundly.
He had a feeling that if things continued this way, it wouldn't be long before he would be able to touch upon the true laws of the Dao.
When the time comes, as long as you can integrate your divine sense into the Great Dao and leverage its power, that will be the time to step into the Dao Integration Realm!
"There's also the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd."
Lu Qing's thoughts suddenly shifted, landing on the natal magic weapon in his dantian.
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd has undergone some changes compared to before.
Inside the gourd, a primordial energy exuding an aura of impending doom was brewing.
Its power has also increased significantly, reaching the level of a perfect middle-grade weapon.
"Unexpectedly, this tribulation of refining the laws has allowed this natal magic weapon to glimpse a sliver of an opportunity for advancement."
To be honest, Lu Qing was also somewhat surprised.
When he was undergoing the tribulation of his primordial spirit, after the Five Elements Gourd shattered, it absorbed the yin and yang energies of the heavenly tribulation and underwent a reorganization and transformation.
It rose two levels from a top-grade treasure to a mid-grade spiritual artifact, transforming into the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd.
This time, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd helped him refine the tribulations of the laws, as if it had added some kind of foundation to him.
It has now advanced to the mid-grade perfection level, and is not far from becoming a high-grade spiritual weapon.
The primordial energy within, radiating an aura of impending doom, possessed terrifying power.
If it were to fully erupt, Lu Qing suspected that even the Azure Sword, which had lost its sword spirit, would be able to match it.
"As I make further breakthroughs, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd will continuously help me refine the tribulations of the laws. Perhaps when I reach the ninth tribulation of the primordial spirit, this natal magic weapon will also be able to break through."
As Lu Qing sensed the origin brewing within the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd, a sudden realization dawned on him.
A natal magic weapon can advance along with its master as they break through to higher levels.
He was eagerly anticipating what kind of power this magic weapon would possess after it was upgraded to a high-grade spiritual artifact.
After thoroughly experiencing the changes following his breakthrough, Lu Qing slowly finished his practice.
The numerous illusory images of laws that appeared behind him gradually disappeared and were collected by him.
"We'll have to move to a new cave again."
Lu Qing sensed the thinning spiritual energy in the cave and couldn't help but sigh.
Breakthrough is certainly a good thing, but it also makes his need for spiritual energy even greater.
The cave, which had previously seemed to be brimming with spiritual energy, now felt insufficient.
A single cave dwelling could only support his cultivation for a month at most. No, now that he has broken through to the sixth tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual energy he needs to improve his cultivation is even greater.
It's still unknown whether the spiritual energy of a celestial mountain cave can sustain him for ten days.
More importantly, after the Six Tribulations, the quality of his magical power became even more refined to a level that was unimaginable to others.
The level of spiritual energy in the cave was gradually becoming insufficient for him.
Lu Qing took out a mid-grade spirit stone, and with the circulation of his cultivation technique, he quickly absorbed the spiritual energy within the stone.
After a dozen or so breaths, he had completely absorbed all the spiritual energy, and many cracks appeared on the spirit stone in his hand before it shattered at his fingertips.
Lu Qing carefully sensed the situation within his dantian and discovered that even a mid-grade spirit stone could only condense a trace of magic power, and the improvement was almost imperceptible.
With a slight twitch of his fingers, another spirit stone appeared in Lu Qing's hand.
However, this spirit stone looked quite different. It was crystal clear, like ice crystal, and incredibly beautiful. It was a high-grade spirit stone that even cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm coveted.
Using the same cultivation technique, Lu Qing began to absorb the spiritual energy within the high-grade spirit stone.
This time, the high-grade spirit stones will last much longer.
Even with Lu Qing absorbing it with all his might, it took a full quarter of an hour for the spiritual energy to be exhausted and turn into powder.
Moreover, a high-grade spirit stone can generate far more magical power than a mid-grade spirit stone.
Lu Qing felt that his overall cultivation level had also increased slightly.
"As expected of a high-grade spirit stone, no wonder that even though one high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, few people are willing to do such a thing in the outside world."
In the past, Lu Qing was reluctant to use high-grade spirit stones for cultivation, but this time he tried it and was immediately surprised.
Unfortunately, he didn't have many high-grade spirit stones.
Aside from the small amount he obtained from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators he had killed, the largest amount he acquired was the thousand high-grade spirit stones he obtained from the Gongshu family's treasury in Zhou Tian City.
But it's uncertain whether these thousand-plus high-grade spirit stones will be enough to propel his cultivation to the eighth tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Still poor..." Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
With his current magical power, the effect of a mid-grade spirit stone is already minimal.
Only high-grade spirit stones can rapidly improve one's cultivation level.
However, high-grade spirit stones are rare, and even in the Tianyuan Great World, only some top sects have the ability to accumulate them.
It would be quite difficult for Lu Qing to obtain it.
Thinking of the Tianyuan Great World, Lu Qing's heart stirred.
"Perhaps, after things are settled in the Guixu Secret Realm, I can take some time to go back."
Ever since I heard about Guixu Daoist from the old Azure Dragon.
Lu Qing already knew that the resources in this immortal palace were probably somewhat scarce.
Otherwise, the old Azure Dragon wouldn't have been unable to produce some Nascent Soul level pills when he wanted to exchange them.
Since the Celestial Palace could not provide more cultivation resources, he had to find a way to rely on himself.
Tianyuan Great World is a good choice.
After all, it was a vast world rich in resources.
The treasure trove of the direct branch of the Gongshu family, one of the thirty-six superior clans, alone contains thousands of high-grade spirit stones.
The entire Gongshu family's treasury must have been incredibly rich in treasures.
Moreover, Lu Qing was also quite concerned about the many strange phenomena he had seen in the depths of the void when he left the trial realm of the Witch Clan.
In addition, he still has some debts that haven't been settled.
Now that his cultivation has greatly increased, he is fully capable of fighting even a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.
Perhaps it's time to go back and settle the past grievances.
After making a plan in mind, Lu Qing remembered something else.
He examined the storage treasures he had obtained after killing Mo Tushan and the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
They discovered that the collection inside was quite substantial, with some treasures so valuable that even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would fight tooth and nail for them if they were outside.
Unfortunately, most of the treasures were of little use to him.
On the contrary, some of the pills and spirit stones inside were more useful to him.
In particular, the storage magic treasure of Demon Slaughter Mountain contained hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.
This was a pleasant surprise for Lu Qing.
Aside from spirit stones and pills, the most precious thing Lu Qing gained was naturally the Nine Abyss Demon Tower.
Unfortunately, this was a demonic and evil treasure, incompatible with his nature, and far less convenient to use than the Azure Sword.
He didn't have time to refine it slowly, so he could only seal the spirit of the artifact and throw it into a corner.
Perhaps we can see if we can make use of it when the opportunity arises in the future.
After taking stock of his haul, Lu Qing stretched and prepared to go for a walk.
Having been in seclusion for so long and having just survived his tribulation, he also needed to relax his mind.
Just in time, there were some things outside that he wanted to take care of.
Furthermore, Xiao Li was previously undergoing a test by the old Azure Dragon senior, and it's unknown whether he has passed it yet.
Lu Qing opened the array in the cave and went outside.
As soon as he stepped out of the cave, his body stiffened.
Three large eyes were staring brightly at him from the sky above.
"Greetings to the three seniors."
Lu Qing quickly bowed and greeted him, while also marveling at how worthy he was of being a Dao Integration Realm expert.
Inside the cave, he couldn't sense the presence of these three people at all.
In an instant, Lu Qing's somewhat inflated ego after his breakthrough immediately cooled down.
Perhaps with his current strength, he can roam freely in the Nascent Soul Realm, and even the ninth tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm would not be a threat to him.
However, they are still very weak in the face of the Dao Integration Realm.
The waters of this world are still very deep.
Hidden among the powerful and powerful, there are ancient monsters who have cultivated for countless years, and he cannot easily provoke them.
"Ah Qing, congratulations on your breakthrough and entering the sixth stage of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation."
The three old dragons' gazes fell on Lu Qing.
Seeing his aura, they realized he had indeed entered the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and they couldn't help but show surprise and delight.
The joy was that they were right; Lu Qing had indeed made a breakthrough.
What was astonishing was Lu Qing's cultivation speed.
That's too fast!
Lu Qing's cultivation speed is simply too fast.
Even though they were somewhat prepared, they were still shocked when they actually sensed Lu Qing's level of cultivation.
Even in ancient times, they had never seen a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator cultivate so quickly.
The master's former disciples were all exceptionally talented.
Several of them were even more renowned throughout the starry sky, possessing the ability to surpass cultivators of their time and standing above countless geniuses—truly peerless prodigies.
But even those few paled in comparison to Lu Qing.
After all, in just a few years, he broke through two tribulations from the fourth tribulation of the primordial spirit and stepped into the sixth tribulation realm.
Such a speed of cultivation was something even the master had never achieved when he was in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Moreover, Lu Qing also cultivates several other paths, all of which have reached extremely high levels, enabling him to trigger the descent of a law-based tribulation.
All of this made the old Canglong and his companions increasingly alarmed.
"It was just luck. If it weren't for the help of the immortal mountain caves in these two spaces, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the next level so quickly. By the way, seniors, I opened several other immortal mountain caves without permission because of my cultivation needs. I haven't apologized to you yet."
Lu Qing knew that the commotion of him opening other immortal mountain caves would not be kept from these three Dao Integration Realm experts.
But even if the other party knows, he still has to show the proper attitude.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the old dragon immediately waved its claws.
He laughed and said, "It's alright, these are all minor matters. Anyway, these immortal mountains and caves have been sealed for who knows how many years, and they are useless just sitting there."
"You've managed to put it into use, which is a good way to make use of waste. Besides, as I mentioned before, you can stay in whichever cave you want here; you don't need to ask us."
“That’s right.” The black bull also shouted, “These caves are just sitting idle. They’ll only be valuable if you can convert the spiritual energy inside into your own cultivation.”
"You are the master's personal disciple, so it is only natural for you to use the resources here."
As for Mingfeng, she nodded approvingly to Lu Qing and spoke up, which was a rare occurrence for her.
"Thank you, three seniors." Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "By the way, Senior Canglong, how did Xiao Li's test go?"
"Xiao Li..."
Upon hearing this, the old dragon couldn't help but smile.
"That little guy is very good. His talent in the Dao of Space is outstanding. He broke through the test I set not long ago and is currently in seclusion."
"Not only is it outstanding, Xiao Li's spatial talent is no less than that of the old Azure Dragon clan!" the black bull exclaimed. "Ah Qing, you don't know, the old Azure Dragon is very happy now. Its clan's secret technique has finally been inherited by someone."
As he said this, there was undisguised envy in the black bull's eyes.
How could this old guy be so lucky? He actually found a suitable successor.
"It is Xiao Li's good fortune to have caught your eye."
Lu Qing was equally happy to hear that Xiao Li had passed the test.
"By the way, Ah Qing, has Xiao Li ever practiced our dragon clan's techniques? I've noticed that it seems to have dragon blood in its body."
At this moment, the old dragon suddenly asked.
“That’s right. When Xiao Li was cultivating with me in that Witch Clan secret realm, she was fortunate enough to obtain a technique called ‘True Dragon Nine Transformations.’ Moreover, it had once refined the bloodline of a Blood Dragon Clan and integrated it into itself,” Lu Qing said without hiding anything.
Since Xiao Li is going to inherit someone else's legacy, it's better to be honest about some things.
Unexpectedly, the old dragon's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing these words.
"The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon! Ah Qing, are you sure it's this technique?!"
