Chapter 811 Hidden Dragon Enters the Abyss, Attempting to Break Through the Nine Tribulations
Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the auspicious cloud, like a sculpture.
This time, he did not try to comprehend the technique; he simply focused his mind and waited quietly.
This is, after all, the territory of the demons; it's best to be careful.
Moreover, he always seemed to vaguely sense a glimmer of being watched from the heavens.
Thinking back to when he had previously killed a group of demon lords, Yuan Mo had not appeared to stop him.
Furthermore, since those at the Dao Integration Realm cannot enter the Great World in their true form, Lu Qing vaguely guessed what was going on.
It's likely that several Dao Integration Realm experts from the Tianyuan Great World are watching him from the starry sky right now.
Therefore, although he was confident that no one in the Tianyuan Great World could harm him.
However, he still did not enter a state of cultivation, choosing instead to quietly wait for the return of the Yuan Demon.
A day passes quickly.
As the appointed time approached, a spatial fluctuation arose, and the figure of Yuan Mo appeared not far in front of Lu Qing.
"You're very punctual." Lu Qing stood up.
"Here's what you wanted."
Yuan Mo threw out a storage bag, which flew towards Lu Qing.
Taking the storage bag, which had no restrictions on it, Lu Qing probed it with his divine soul power.
Inside the storage bag, a large number of high-grade spirit stones, shimmering with demonic energy, were neatly stacked.
Beside it was a small pile of top-grade spirit stones that gleamed with a black light, like black diamonds.
After scanning the numbers with his divine soul power and finding no issues, Lu Qing showed a satisfied expression.
"The amount is correct, isn't it? You've already accepted the spirit stones. I hope you'll keep your promise," Yuan Mo said coldly.
His face was expressionless, as if he wanted to kill someone.
However, Lu Qing, who was in a great mood, didn't care about such a trivial matter.
He nodded and said, "Of course. Since you delivered the spirit stones on time, how could I go back on my word?"
After saying that, Lu Qing stretched out his palm, and more than ten strands of primordial spirit energy appeared in his palm.
With a gentle squeeze, all the primordial spirit energy dissipated.
This action immediately caused Yuan Mo's expression to change drastically.
But he soon discovered that the demonic spirit of the first-class demon lord in the demon pool had not been annihilated, which surprised him again.
Only then did they realize that Lu Qing had only destroyed the primordial spirit's aura, and had not used any curse-killing techniques.
"Sir, now that I have received the spirit stones, the debt between me and your demon race is settled. Farewell."
After saying that, Lu Qing's figure disappeared from the spot, using spatial teleportation to leave.
Only Yuan Mo remained, standing there with a gloomy expression, silent for a long time, lost in thought.
"This devil actually managed to hold back."
In the starry sky, Luo Yuantian was always looking forward to the Yuan Demon's failure to gather enough spirit stones, which would eventually lead to another battle with Lu Qing.
To his surprise, Yuan Mo actually obediently collected all the spirit stones, which greatly disappointed him.
However, after his initial disappointment, he became happy again.
Seeing Yuan Mo's pained expression, as if his parents had died, filled him with immense satisfaction.
This time, the demons suffered even greater losses than the humans.
Not only did they have to pay even more spirit stones in compensation, but several powerful figures at the Demon Lord level also perished, resulting in a truly devastating loss of their strength.
In the days to come, even if the Demon Lord of the Demon Race were to be resurrected, it would take a long time for him to recuperate and he would be unable to attack the human race again.
The middle-aged man with golden eyes standing to the side was also greatly relieved.
Of the three races, the demon race was the weakest.
He doesn't want to see either the human race or the demon race become powerful.
The demon race's strength has been greatly diminished, which means that a delicate balance has been restored among the three races.
This is a good thing for their demon race.
"Um?"
Just then, Luo Yuantian and the middle-aged man with golden eyes simultaneously sensed that Lu Qing's aura had suddenly disappeared from the Tianyuan Great World and could no longer be sensed.
They were taken aback at first, but then they realized what was going on.
"It seems he has already realized that we are spying on him," Luo Yuantian said with a wry smile.
He wouldn't have made such a guess if it were someone else in the Nascent Soul Realm.
After all, the gap between the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Dao Integration Realm is too great; they are not even on the same level.
But Lu Qing couldn't be judged by common sense; whatever this monster did, he could already see as reasonable.
"Not only can it sense our divine sense, but it can also block our divine sense perception. Fellow Daoist Luo, you are right. This monster is not one we can provoke. As long as it remains in the Great World, there is no way we can do anything to it."
The middle-aged man with golden eyes sighed, completely giving up any thought of causing trouble for Lu Qing again.
"Is it only within the Great World?"
Luo Yuantian thought to himself.
He recalled Lu Qing's previously manifested ten-thousand-foot-tall body and that earth-shattering, terrifying punch.
Even with Lu Qing's current strength, once he was out in the starry sky, he wouldn't dare say he could definitely suppress him within a few moves.
More importantly, the opponent is currently only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Once he reached the ninth tribulation of the primordial spirit realm, he couldn't even imagine how powerful Lu Qing would become.
It's not impossible that they could actually contend with their true forms.
Using his primordial spirit body, he contended with a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm.
The thought that such a monster could be born into the world filled Luo Yuantian with a sense of absurdity, but also a strange tension.
As the saying goes, chaos is coming and monsters will emerge. Lu Qing is clearly an extraordinary monster who transcends reason.
Could it be that some great upheaval is about to occur in this world?
For a moment, Luo Yuantian felt a heavy weight in his heart.
The gloating I felt earlier had vanished.
Lu Qing was unaware of the conversation taking place in the starry sky.
After leaving the center of the Demon Realm, he immediately used the transformation technique of the God of End God to conceal his aura.
He then formed hand seals, creating multiple magic gestures that landed on himself.
Instantly, his aura vanished, becoming completely undetectable to anyone.
Since he suspected that there might be Dao Integration Realm experts spying on him from beyond the heavens, Lu Qing naturally wouldn't be unprepared.
The technique he just used was a method of shielding one's own heavenly secrets, which he had comprehended from the "Ziwei Destiny Scripture".
Combined with the transformation techniques of the God of Endowment, he believed that even someone at the Dao Integration Realm would not be able to detect his presence at such a great distance.
Sure enough, after he did it, he soon felt that the faint feeling of being watched had completely disappeared.
Seeing this, Lu Qing finally felt relieved.
The Tianyuan Great World is incredibly vast; even a Dao Integration Realm expert can only monitor a very small portion of its territory at most.
As long as the other party cannot detect his presence, it is quite easy for him to hide.
With a thought, spatial fluctuations arose, and Lu Qing had already used spatial teleportation to head out of the Demon Realm.
Not long after, he left the Demon Realm and re-entered the human territory.
This time, he reaped a large sum of spirit stones and also resolved the matter of the demon race, finally allowing him to go into seclusion with peace of mind.
However, since it is a period of seclusion, it is not appropriate to linger in the Demon Realm.
Although he was not afraid of the demonic energy in the Demon Realm, he still preferred the pure spiritual energy within the human territory.
After determining the direction, Lu Qing did not enter the human territory. Instead, he chose a vast and ancient primeval forest, entered the earth, found an underground cave, and began to set up an array.
Several days later, Lu Qing set up multiple arrays around the underground cave.
Some of these formations are powerful arrays recorded in the array inheritance obtained from the Immortal Palace.
It can be said that even a divine sense avatar at the Dao Integration Realm would not be able to break through these formations in a short period of time.
After doing all this, Lu Qing released Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, as well as the Five Treasures Taoist and the disciples of the Qiankun Sect.
"Aqing!"
As soon as Xiao Li came out, she jumped onto Lu Qing's shoulder, her face full of excitement.
Xiaoyan looked at her brother with the same adoration.
As for the Five Treasures Taoist and Qin Zheng and other disciples of the Qiankun Sect, their faces were filled with awe.
"Ah Qing, this is great! We've gotten so many spirit stones again!"
Xiao Li's ears twitched, and its tail almost wagged.
It was obvious that Lu Qing had once again received a large sum of spirit stones, which made it extremely happy.
It turns out that everyone had witnessed Lu Qing's battle with the Demon Lords in the Li Huo Cauldron.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you repelled the demons and killed a number of demon lords, thus averting the calamity of the demon invasion. On behalf of the billions of human beings, I thank you."
Qin Zheng bowed respectfully to Lu Qing with a solemn expression.
Behind him, the Five Treasures Taoist and other disciples of the Qiankun Sect also bowed to Lu Qing.
"There's no need for that."
Lu Qing stroked Xiao Li's fur with one hand, while waving the other hand.
"My main reason for repelling the demons was that I couldn't stand them trying to take advantage of me from behind."
Moreover, the reason they dared to invade the human race was because I killed the main bodies of a group of elders of the Holy Alliance.
I bear some responsibility for this.
"Regardless, it was thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu's intervention that the human race was spared from disaster this time. We, the human race, will never forget this kindness," Qin Zheng said solemnly.
He was well aware that the reason Lu Qing killed the elders of the Holy Alliance was that those elders had only themselves to blame.
Lu Qing could have simply stood by and watched, indifferent to the fate of the human race.
In the end, however, they put aside their past grievances and took action to drive back the demons.
This immense kindness cannot be denied.
"I'm afraid only you would think that way."
Lu Qing smiled for a moment, but did not want to talk about it any further.
However, he said to Qin Zheng and the others, "Everyone, I need to go into seclusion for a while and will not have time to attend to other matters. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to stay here for a while."
Of course, if you want to leave, I won't stop you; you can leave at any time.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you flatter us. We are now sinners of the human race, and there is nowhere for us to go outside. It is already a great honor to have your protection," Qin Zheng said hastily.
"In that case, you can cultivate here for a while. There are cultivation rooms that I have set up over there, where you can cultivate."
Lu Qing took out more than ten jade talismans and gently pushed them over.
"I have already set up an array within a radius of hundreds of miles beneath this earth. Do not wander around. If you really want to get out, you can only do so by using these jade talismans."
"We understand."
Qin Zheng and the others accepted the jade token and responded respectfully.
However, no one had any intention of leaving.
Just kidding. After witnessing Lu Qing's strength, they all knew how great an opportunity it was to be able to cultivate alongside such a being.
Not to mention that they are still guilty in the Holy Alliance, so who would be so foolish as to run away?
After explaining things to Qin Zheng and the others, and giving some instructions to Xiao Yan and the others, Lu Qing returned to a quiet room and sat down cross-legged.
This quiet room was a meditation room he had specially built for himself.
Not only does it possess powerful defensive capabilities, but it also prevents one's aura from leaking out during cultivation.
After all, his current strength is far greater than Xiaoyan's and the others.
If one becomes too engrossed in cultivation, the resulting fluctuations in one's aura might accidentally injure Xiaoyan and Xiaoli, which would be disastrous.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Lu Qing pondered the events of the past few days.
He originally had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the three major races of the Tianyuan Great World.
Unexpectedly, through a series of coincidences, he ended up beating up all three major clans.
This feeling is quite subtle.
However, this is a good thing for Lu Qing.
After all, he had reaped a massive amount of spirit stones from the three major clans.
Just thinking about how his storage magic treasure now contains over a million high-grade spirit stones and hundreds of top-grade spirit stones...
Even Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Because of the unique nature of his cultivation path, he has always lacked cultivation resources.
But this time, they reaped such a large harvest of high-grade spirit stones.
For a long time to come, he truly won't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore.
That's true at least before you enter the Dao Integration Realm.
"Finally, I can go into seclusion for a while."
This time, Lu Qing gained a huge amount of spirit stones, but he also offended all three major clans.
Lu Qing knew without even thinking that the powerful figures of the three major clans must hate him to the core at this moment.
Especially Luo Yuantian and the other several Dao Integration Realm experts, they might be waiting for him in the starry sky right now.
Lu Qing had a good understanding of his own abilities.
Don't be fooled by his current dominance and invincibility in the Tianyuan Great World.
However, once he leaves the protection of the Great World and enters the starry sky, he still cannot truly fight against these Dao Integration Realm cultivators.
Therefore, Lu Qing does not intend to leave the Tianyuan Great World until he possesses the strength to truly contend with a Dao Integration Realm expert.
His goal for this retreat was very clear.
Not only must one step into the Ninth Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit, but one must also further deduce the [Perfect Primordial Spirit Technique] to find the opportunity to break through the limits and achieve something beyond the Ninth Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit.
"Now, let's focus on improving our cultivation level."
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing made a decision.
With a wave of his hand, he scattered a large number of high-grade spirit stones, which fell to the ground and formed a large spirit-gathering array.
As the formation was activated, an incredibly rich spiritual energy was released from the spirit stone, instantly filling the entire meditation room.
Lu Qing calmed his mind and began a new round of seclusion.
