Chapter 306After inspecting the black jade bottle, Lu Qing picked up the white jade bottle for examination. The white jade bottle was also sealed with a restriction, but due to Xuan Ming's death, the restriction had become very weak. Lu Qing easily broke it open. As expected, the bottle contained World Origin Qi, and in quantities several times greater than what was in the black jade bottle. It made sense. Xuan Ming and his group possessed magical treasures and were powerful. When they seized the World Origin Qi, they did so without hesitation, unafraid of anyone. Unlike the black-robed man, who had to act covertly and in secret. Looking at the World Origin Qi in the two jade bottles, Lu Qing was overjoyed. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He had suspected the bottles might contain World Origin Qi, but he hadn't expected such a large quantity. The two bottles together held more than ten strands of World Origin Qi. "World Origin Qi can not only transform one's physique, enhancing their aptitude and turning mediocrity into genius. It also embodies the mysterious Dao Rhythms that encompass and evolve all things. The strand of World Origin Qi that originally belonged to me was fused into my body during the lightning tribulation earlier today, greatly enhancing the strength of my physical body, surpassing that of a typical Precelestial Realm cultivator. But I can sense this is not my limit. If I can refine more World Origin Qi, my body could become even stronger!" After surviving the lightning tribulation and absorbing a strand of World Origin Qi, Lu Qing's physical strength reached a level that even shocked the Third Sacred Lord. However, Lu Qing could still feel a powerful craving in his body for more World Origin Qi. If he could devour and refine more World Origin Qi, his physical body would surely grow stronger again. Without hesitation, Lu Qing put everything else away and moved to a corner of the room. Using his finger as a sword, he inscribed a simple aura-concealing formation on the ground. He then sat cross-legged within the formation, picked up the black jade bottle, and opened his mouth, swallowing a strand of World Origin Qi. As the World Origin Qi entered his dantian, Lu Qing immediately focused his mind and began refining it. Since stepping into the Precelestial Realm, Lu Qing's cultivation had grown far stronger than before. Moreover, his body had already absorbed a strand of World Origin Qi. As a result, this time the refining process was much faster than the first time. In no time, Lu Qing had completely refined and absorbed the strand of World Origin Qi. Similarly, his physical body became even more powerful. Sensing that his body still hadn't reached its limit, Lu Qing didn't hesitate. He took out another strand of World Origin Qi and began refining it. Thus, as Lu Qing continuously devoured and refined the World Origin Qi, the aura around him grew increasingly formidable. If it weren't for the Soul Talisman concealing his aura and the formation he was within, the nearby experts would have surely been alerted by now. "Counting the strand that was originally fused into my body, this is already the ninth strand." As Lu Qing took out another strand of World Origin Qi from the bottle, a strange light flickered in his eyes. Nine is the ultimate number; he could sense that his body could likely only absorb one more strand before reaching its limit. "After enduring nine lightning tribulations, does this mean I can only absorb nine strands of World Origin Qi? I wonder what kind of changes will occur in my body after refining this final strand." With a thought, Lu Qing swallowed the ninth strand of World Origin Qi. As the strand was refined, Lu Qing's body began to undergo a strange transformation. His already fair and jade-like skin started to emit a faint glow, and the light grew increasingly intense. Finally, when Lu Qing had fully refined the World Origin Qi, a booming sound echoed. Not only did the light around his body shine brighter, but the internal organs, blood, flesh, bones, and marrow within him also underwent an earth-shattering transformation, rapidly evolving. When the transformation was complete, the light around Lu Qing's body coalesced into a layer of mysterious radiance. It appeared both divine and exceptionally resilient. Amidst the radiant glow, Lu Qing opened his eyes. The first thing he noticed was the halo of light around his body. He was momentarily stunned before a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. "A radiant body… My physical body has reached the stage of emitting a radiant glow?" Lu Qing was overjoyed. What does it mean to have a radiant body? From the Li Huo Sect's inheritance, Lu Qing knew that during the Immortal Era, there were many paths within the cultivation of immortality. Among them were Path of Law, Path of the Body, Path of the Rune, Path of the Sword, and Path of the Pill… The Path of Law focused on communicating with the heavens and earth through the soul, wielding powerful spells to sweep away all enemies. The Path of the Body focused on physical strength, using raw power to overcome all obstacles. The Path of the Sword cultivated a single flying sword, breaking all laws with its unparalleled sharpness… Each path had its own unique strengths. The cultivation method passed down from the Divine Rune Sect, which Lu Qing practiced, was a type of rune cultivation. However, while most rune cultivators focused on creating and refining talismans, the Divine Rune Sect's method involved cultivating a Soul Talisman within the brow acupoint. Compared to ordinary rune cultivators, this method required even stricter aptitude. The radiant body Lu Qing mentioned was actually a realm within the Path of the Body. Body cultivators specialized in tempering their physical bodies, communicating with spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, and using various secret techniques to strengthen themselves, thus gaining incredible physical power. This process was akin to refining one's body as if it were a magical treasure, continuously tempering it. In fact, truly powerful body cultivators could refine their physical bodies to a level comparable to magical treasures. They could withstand magical treasure attacks with their bare hands, and even if they were struck by a magical treasure, their bodies would remain unscathed. One notable characteristic of body cultivation when it reached a certain level was the appearance of a radiant glow on the body's surface during aura activation. This radiance not only provided immense defensive power but could also be controlled by the body cultivator, transforming into a protective aura to enhance their combat strength. This was considered one of the primary combat features of body cultivators. "The strength of a body cultivator can be gauged by the radiance of their body. The most basic radiant body emits white light, followed by red, gold, and purple. The brighter the light, the stronger the body cultivator." The radiance currently emanating from Lu Qing's body was merely the lowest level of white light. However, it's important to note that even in the Path of the Body, reaching the stage of a radiant body generally required at least the Foundation Establishment stage. In other words, purely in terms of physical strength, Lu Qing was now comparable to a Foundation Establishment stage body cultivator. "If I were to fight again, without using any divine abilities, I could crush the Third Sacred Lord's puppet avatar with just my physical strength." Lu Qing clenched his fist, feeling the unparalleled strength coursing through his body, filled with confidence. Moreover, the strength of his physical body was just one aspect. In reality, after refining nine strands of World Origin Qi, Lu Qing's potential had become unfathomable. Even he couldn't predict the extent of his current talent. "Perhaps I should choose one or two body cultivation methods to dual-cultivate." Given that Lu Qing hadn't even officially begun body cultivation yet but was already able to emit a radiant glow, not dual-cultivating in the Path of the Body would be a waste of his physical talent. Fortunately, the Li Huo Sect's inheritance included several body cultivation methods. Although they weren't particularly profound, they were sufficient for Lu Qing's current needs. However, the continuous refinement of World Origin Qi had already drained much of Lu Qing's mental energy. So he didn't rush into anything, planning to carefully select a cultivation method after leaving the Sacred City. With his plan in place, Lu Qing's gaze fell on the two jade bottles before him. The black jade bottle was now empty, but the white jade bottle still contained five strands of World Origin Qi. "Xuan Ming and the black-robed man were truly my lucky stars, leaving me such a generous gift." Lu Qing resealed the jade bottles with restrictions, preserving the World Origin Qi inside. Although he could no longer absorb any more World Origin Qi, this type of heavenly treasure was still invaluable. Not to mention, if he were to spread the word, countless experts would likely offer everything they had to exchange for a single strand. Of course, exchanging it was out of the question, but Lu Qing already had his own plans for the remaining World Origin Qi. After storing the two jade bottles in his Spatial Qi Bag, Lu Qing took out the magical artifacts he had obtained from Xuan Ming. However, after a thorough inspection, Lu Qing's interest waned. Although these artifacts were rare treasures, with the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle even reaching the level of a magical treasure, they all required specific Buddhist techniques to activate. Lu Qing had no interest in becoming a monk, nor did he have any Buddhist techniques to cultivate. So he simply put the items away, planning to dispose of them later when the opportunity arose. Having finished all this, Lu Qing felt a trace of fatigue. He had been through a lot today. Surviving the tribulation, slaying the monks of Xuankong Mountain, battling the Third Sacred Lord, and then continuously refining World Origin Qi… Even with his resilient mind, he was feeling the strain. Without forcing himself any further, he extinguished the lamp and lay down to rest. The night passed uneventfully, and the mental exhaustion made Lu Qing sleep especially well. However, what Lu Qing didn't know was that during this night, his deeds had not only sparked discussions throughout the Sacred City but had also quickly spread beyond, reaching all of Zhongzhou. In particular, the major sects, which had unique methods of communication with their Precelestial Realm experts, so that almost overnight, Lu Qing's name became known across all of Zhongzhou. "What did you say? A heavenly opportunity descended on the Sacred Mountain during the day, scattering in all directions. And within the Sacred City, the first tribulation survivor since the world's transformation appeared, and it was a young man?" In a grand hall of a certain great sect, a powerful figure suddenly stood up, his eyes widening as he looked at the elder in charge of sect intelligence standing before him. And on either side of him, the other elders were equally shocked. "Reporting to the Sect Master, that is correct," the elder in charge of intelligence respectfully replied. He then dropped an even more shocking piece of news. "Not only that, but Elder Chang reported that after the young man survived the tribulation, he unleashed a massacre, killing Xuan Ming and the other monks from Xuankong Mountain. Even the Third Sacred Lord personally intervened but was unable to stop him. The Third Sacred Lord was even defeated by that young man." "Killing all the high monks of Xuankong Mountain and defeating the Third Sacred Lord?" The Sect Master and the elders were utterly dumbfounded. There was no way around it; these two events were beyond anything they could have imagined. The high monks of Xuankong Mountain were one thing, but anyone who emerged from the Four Great Secret Realms was not to be trifled with. And now they were saying that a young man had slaughtered them all? As for the Third Sacred Lord, everyone present was well aware of his unfathomable strength. Not long ago, due to the world's transformation and to prevent Zhongzhou from descending into chaos, the Three Sacred Lords had personally visited each of the major sects. The Third Sacred Lord had come to their sect. The Sect Master and the elders could still vividly recall the terrifying presence of the Third Sacred Lord. Even though he emitted no aura, just standing there, they all felt an overwhelming sense of invincibility, unable to move recklessly. For such a mysterious and terrifying figure to be defeated by a young man? For a moment, everyone doubted the authenticity of this information. Similar reactions occurred across the major sects in Zhongzhou. All the sects that learned of the events in the Sacred City were initially incredulous. When they confirmed the news was true, it caused a massive uproar. Some wanted to immediately investigate Lu Qing's background, others sought to uncover every detail of what had happened in the Sacred City, and some even set off for the Sacred City to see for themselves. "How could the first tribulation survivor since the world's transformation appear so quickly?" On the peak of a high mountain, a figure radiating a terrifying aura clutched a jade token, his expression dark. "The world's rules have only just begun to evolve, and I haven't even had time to fully comprehend them. And yet someone has already triggered a tribulation cloud and successfully crossed the tribulation?" The figure with the terrifying aura looked grim. He had always considered himself unrivaled in talent, unmatched in the world. Even the Three Sacred Lords of the Sacred Mountain were of little consequence to him. He knew that those three old turtles were only so powerful because they occupied the advantageous terrain of the Sacred Mountain. If he were in their place, he believed he would be even stronger than those three. He had never held much respect for the so-called Four Great Secret Realms either. Holding himself in such high regard, he didn't even bother going to the Sacred Mountain to study the ancient methods. Anything those old guys offered was bound to be unimpressive. He was confident that with his own talent, he could forge his own path by comprehending the world's rules, even without ancient methods. In truth, since the world's transformation and the revival of spiritual energy, he had indeed made tremendous progress in his insights. He had believed that he would be the first warrior in the world to break through the bottleneck and step into a new realm. But now, as he read the message from the jade token, he found himself unable to remain calm. "The world has only just changed, and yet someone has already triggered a tribulation cloud and survived the tribulation. I must see for myself what kind of monstrous being you are!" After a long time, the figure with the terrifying aura finally calmed his thoughts. He gazed at the sea of clouds before him, a cold glint in his eyes. In the next moment, he took a step forward and disappeared from the mountain peak. Table of content
