Chapter 293Lu Qing sensed a change in the aura around the old doctor, feeling a bit of surprise. Before long, the old doctor opened his eyes, his aura completely restrained, returning to the appearance of an ordinary old man. Even the aura of the World Origin Qi was completely concealed. "Congratulations, Master, on breaking through once again," Lu Qing immediately offered his congratulations. "This World Origin Qi is indeed profound. No wonder it drives so many martial experts to madness," the old doctor sighed. He had only begun to refine it, yet his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Great Accomplishment stage, just a step away from the Perfection stage of the Precelestial Realm. As long as he accumulates a bit more, reaching the perfection stage of the Precelestial Realm is only a matter of time. More importantly, the World Origin Qi was now hidden within his Dantian Qi Sea, gradually merging into his body. The old doctor could feel that once the World Origin Qi fully integrated into his body, his aptitude and constitution might undergo a tremendous transformation. Moreover, the old doctor sensed that the World Origin Qi contained an all-encompassing, vast meaning. If he could comprehend even a fraction of it, it would greatly benefit his cultivation. "A'Qing, I've already begun refining the World Origin Qi and can control its aura from leaking. Now it's your turn to refine it," the old doctor said. Lu Qing looked at Xiao Li, seeing that it was still asleep, and it seemed it wouldn't wake up anytime soon. He nodded, saying, "Alright, but Master, once I refine this World Origin Qi, I should officially enter the Precelestial Realm, so please keep an eye on me." "You're finally breaking through?" The old doctor was pleasantly surprised. He knew that his disciple had long reached the perfection stage of the Postnatal Realm, and even his soul force was stronger than his own. However, for some reason, Lu Qing had been suppressing his cultivation and had not broken through. Seeing that Lu Qing was finally about to break through, the old doctor breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was also curious, "A'Qing, you've been holding back all this time, was it because of this World Origin Qi?" "That's only part of the reason," Lu Qing shook his head, "As for the details, I'll explain them to you after I break through, Master." As Lu Qing and the others entered the house, the massive white vortex in the sky had long since dissipated. The evolution of the world's rules had also entered a new level and had completely stabilized. Because of this, Lu Qing's desire to break through had reached a peak. If he didn't break through now, he felt he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. "Alright, then go ahead and break through," the old doctor immediately said, noticing the urgency. Lu Qing brought the World Origin Qi, which he had been enveloping with his True Qi, into his body. As soon as the World Origin Qi entered his body, it fell into his Dantian Qi Sea. Lu Qing immediately focused his mind to refine it. In the next moment, with a loud bang, his consciousness entered a profound state, and a large amount of understanding arose within him. "So this is how it is. The World Origin Qi not only reshapes one's aptitude and constitution, transforming them into a rare, peerless genius, but also contains the essence of all things, a great opportunity. If one can comprehend even a fraction of its essence, it would be of immense benefit." Instinctively, Lu Qing entered the state of cultivating his Enhanced Perception, fully absorbing the Dao Rhythms within the World Origin Qi. While Lu Qing was in a state of cultivation, fully focused on comprehending and absorbing the World Origin Qi, the struggle for the World Origin Qi in Sacred City was also gradually coming to an end. In a certain alley, corpses littered the ground, many of them powerful martial artists with the aura of the Precelestial Realm. Yet, these once mighty Precelestial experts had now turned into lifeless corpses. Among the corpses, a burly man was panting heavily, using a long knife to support himself. There were several wounds on his body, deep enough to expose bone, making for a horrifying sight. However, the burly man paid no attention to his injuries. He looked at the streak of light he was holding in his hand and laughed maniacally. "Finally, I am the last one standing. This opportunity is finally mine!" Recalling what had happened earlier, the man couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Originally, he and his senior brother had come together to pursue this streak of light, arriving at this place. They saw the streak of light enter the body of a young man in the Tendons and Bones Realm. Without hesitation, they killed the boy. After the boy's death, the streak of light reappeared. But just as they were about to seize the streak of light, another group of experts arrived to snatch the opportunity. Several of them were no weaker than the man and his senior brother. Fortunately, the two brothers had cultivated together for many years and had a deep understanding of each other's techniques. They worked together to kill the newcomers. But just as they had killed the enemies, the man's senior brother suddenly betrayed him, stabbing a sword into his heart. The memory of his senior brother's ruthless strike made the man's heart clench. If it weren't for the heart-protecting mirror, a divine weapon he had accidentally acquired during his travels years ago, he would have been killed by that one strike. "Senior Brother, you didn't expect this, did you? My fortune is great, and I happened to have a divine weapon protecting my heart, blocking your deadly Heart-Piercing Sword." The burly man looked at the lifeless head of his senior brother, his face still pale. Although he had decapitated his senior brother during a moment of hesitation, he had still suffered severe injuries. The Heart-Piercing Sword was no joke, and even with a divine weapon protecting him, his internal organs had been shaken, causing internal bleeding. "But this opportunity is still mine in the end. Don't worry, Senior Brother, although you were heartless, I won't be. Once I refine this opportunity and become an unparalleled expert, I will fulfill the vow we made before our master to revive our Mingshan Sect." The burly man, with a determined look on his face, swallowed the streak of light in one gulp. However, just as he was about to leave to find a secluded place to refine the opportunity, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him. In the next moment, the burly man's body trembled as he looked down in disbelief at the hand protruding from his chest. In that hand was his still-beating heart. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As for the divine weapon that had once saved his life, it had already fallen onto his senior brother's corpse. "How... is this... possible..." The burly man's face was filled with disbelief. His soul force had always been spread out, alert to his surroundings. How had someone managed to approach him without him noticing? The burly man tried with all his might to turn his head to see the face of his attacker. The black shadow's hand trembled slightly, and black energy appeared, crushing the burly man's heart and rapidly absorbing all his blood and essence. Feeling the rapid loss of his blood and essence, the burly man's eyes widened in terror. "De...monic...cultivator..." With that final word, his blood and essence drained even faster. His entire body began to wither, and soon, his life force was completely extinguished. Even in death, the burly man never saw who had attacked him. As the burly man died, a streak of light suddenly emerged from his body, trying to fly into the sky. But in the next moment, a hand shrouded in black energy gently stopped it, holding it firmly. "The third strand of World Origin Qi. Excellent. With these three strands of World Origin Qi, my demonic body can finally be fully refined." Even with his usual cold demeanor, the black figure couldn't help but show a hint of joy. However, he quickly frowned. "These pesky Daoists are truly persistent. No matter, I have the three strands of World Origin Qi now. It's time to leave. Once my demonic body is fully refined, dealing with these Daoists will be as easy as turning my hand!" With that, the black figure placed the World Origin Qi into a jade bottle and disappeared from the alley in a blur. Just moments after the black figure disappeared, several Daoists dressed in robes suddenly appeared in the alley. If Lin Zhirui were here, he would recognize one of them as the Yangming from Qingyang Temple, who had previously mocked Xuankong Mountain on Sacred Mountain. "He escaped again!" Yangming ignored the corpses on the ground and used his soul force to sense the remaining aura in the alley, feeling frustrated. He quickly took out a Bagua compass and activated it with his mind. The needle on the Bagua compass began to spin rapidly. "Brother Yangming, are you sure the person who took the streak of light just now was a demonic cultivator?" a Daoist asked. "There's no mistake. Although that guy disguised himself well, I could tell right away that his aura was as pure as a demonic cultivator's can be!" Yangming confirmed while manipulating the compass. "But weren't the remnants of the demonic sects wiped out by the Four Great Secret Realms and Sacred Mountain years ago? Where did this person learn such pure demonic techniques?" the Daoist asked, puzzled. "That's precisely why we need to capture him. Unfortunately, Sacred City prohibits flying, so even our magical tools can't be used for flight. Otherwise, how could this demonic scoundrel have escaped for so long? Alright, I've found the direction he fled. Follow me!" After sensing the direction indicated by the compass, Yangming immediately used his movement technique to pursue. The other Daoists hesitated for a moment but quickly followed. Although they wanted to continue pursuing the opportunity, their sect leader had instructed them to follow Brother Yangming's orders no matter what. Besides, they had already obtained several strands of World Origin Qi earlier, enough to share among themselves. So, it was best to follow Brother Yangming's lead and focus on subduing demons. After all, the black-robed man also possessed a strand of World Origin Qi. Capturing him wouldn't be a wasted effort. Led by Yangming, the Daoists from Qingyang Temple chased the black-robed man through Sacred City. However, the black-robed man was incredibly skilled. Even though they had a tool for tracking aura, he always managed to slip away just as they were about to catch up. "Damn it!" After losing track of the black-robed man again, Yangming's face was filled with anger. This demonic scoundrel was too slippery, even managing to mock him several times along the way. He swore that when he finally caught the man, he would make him suffer to repay the humiliation! Just as Yangming took out the compass to continue tracking the black-robed man's aura, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation in his heart. Before he could figure out what was happening, one of the Daoists behind him suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "What is that?" Yangming looked up in the direction his junior brother was pointing. In the next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, his face showing an expression of horror. "Tribulation Clouds?! How can this cursed thing appear here?!" "Tribulation Clouds? Brother Yangming, do you recognize that thing?" a Daoist asked. But Yangming had no time to answer. His mind was in chaos as he stared intently at the gray cloud in the sky, trying to confirm if it was indeed what he thought. "What is that?" "A cloud? How can a cloud appear so low? And it's gray?" "What a terrifying aura. Could it be that another opportunity is about to emerge?" As Yangming and the others discovered the gray cloud, others in Sacred City also noticed the strange phenomenon. The appearance of the gray cloud was so bizarre, and it exuded an extremely dangerous aura. Anyone with even a bit of cultivation could feel the terrifying aura that made them tremble. "Tribulation Clouds? The world's rules have just stabilized. How can Tribulation Clouds appear?" The black-robed man, who was separated from Yangming and the others by several streets, also looked at the gray cloud with shock. His mysterious origins gave him knowledge far beyond his cultivation level. Naturally, he recognized at a glance that the gray cloud in the sky was a genuine Tribulation Cloud. But it was precisely because he recognized it that he was even more shocked. After all, this wasn't something that could just appear out of nowhere. Tribulation Clouds usually only appeared when something extraordinary was about to be born, something that violated the rules of the world. "What could be about to be born? A living being or a treasure?" The black-robed man had just shaken off those pesky Daoists and was planning to leave the city. But the appearance of the Tribulation Clouds rooted him in place. If this was indeed the birth of a rare treasure, and he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life. He was almost certain that it was the birth of a treasure. After all, the world's rules had just been redefined, so it was unlikely that a heaven-defying individual could trigger the Tribulation Clouds. Not even those three old men on Sacred Mountain could do such a thing. Their cultivation was deep, but they weren't capable of defying the heavens to such an extent. So, it must be the birth of a treasure. This was a city that had existed for countless millennia, and it was reasonable to believe that treasures from the Immortal Era could be buried here. With this in mind, the black-robed man's eyes gleamed with greed. He hesitated no longer and immediately used his movement technique to rush toward the Tribulation Clouds. Table of content
