Chapter 308The jade bottle in the Tianji Tower Master's hand was engraved with profound runes. A faint, strange aura emanated from it, indicating that the contents were anything but ordinary. Lin Zhirui noticed the peculiarity of the jade bottle as well and asked, "Master, what is inside the bottle?" The Tianji Tower Master opened the jade bottle, and a subtle, profound aura began to fill the air. Both master and disciple's expressions immediately changed. "This is...!" Lin Zhirui felt the powerful attraction emanating from it and widened his eyes in surprise. The Tianji Tower Master covered the bottle again, his gaze shifting in the direction where Lu Qing and the others had left. "This gift from Lu Xiaolangjun is a bit too heavy, isn't it?" The carriage moved slowly, just exiting the Tianji Tower’s grounds and entering the street, immediately catching the attention of numerous spies. The Tianji Tower was currently the most closely watched sect in the entire Sacred City, without a doubt. After all, it housed the young man who had triggered a Tribulation Cloud and successfully passed the tribulation since the revival of Spiritual Energy and the changes in heaven and earth. This was the very same unparalleled expert who had easily slain many high monks from the Xuankong Mountain sect and even defeated the Third Saint Lord. No force dared to ignore the existence of such a terrifying figure. As a result, the area outside the Tianji Tower had long been filled with the spies of various factions, closely monitoring every movement within. As soon as they saw a carriage emerging from the Tianji Tower, all the spies were instantly alert. "Someone’s coming out!" "That’s unmistakable—the carriage with the jade-horned horses. It's his!" "So early in the morning, where could he be heading?" "Could they be leaving the Sacred City?" ... After yesterday’s battle, all the major factions in the city had immediately launched investigations into Lu Qing. Yet, even after an entire night, they still couldn’t determine his exact origins. However, they couldn't hide the movements of his group after they entered the city. Thus, all the factions knew that when Lu Qing and his group entered the city, they were riding a unique carriage, especially noted for the two extraordinary horses pulling it, which were rare and majestic beasts. Seeing that very carriage emerging from the Tianji Tower, the spies began to speculate. However, no matter how curious they were, none dared to probe into the carriage. They didn’t even dare to approach it, only watching from a distance, observing the carriage’s movements with their eyes and quickly sending messages back to their respective factions. Naturally, Lu Qing and the old doctor could sense the people watching them, but they paid it little mind, chatting leisurely instead. "A Qing, I noticed that the jade bottle you gave to the Tianji Tower Master earlier had familiar patterns on it. It seems like it was the one you refined back in Yunlai Town," the old doctor remarked. "Yes, it is the very same jade bottle I refined in Yunlai Town," Lu Qing nodded. "The gift I gave to the Tower Master is special, and ordinary containers couldn’t hold it." "Ordinary items couldn’t contain it... Could it be..." The old doctor recalled the peculiar aura he had sensed earlier. "I gave the Tower Master a strand of World Origin Qi," Lu Qing said. The old doctor wasn’t surprised. He had already guessed it when he sensed the strange aura from the jade bottle earlier, though he was still taken aback by his disciple’s generosity. He knew how precious World Origin Qi was, especially after refining a strand himself, understanding its miraculous nature. The many Precelestial Realm experts in the city had fought fiercely yesterday, yet even they couldn’t obtain a single wisp of World Origin Qi. Unexpectedly, Lu Qing had given away a whole strand so easily. Sensing his master's astonishment, Lu Qing didn’t offer much explanation. He had thought it through before giving away the World Origin Qi. After refining multiple strands of World Origin Qi, pushing his physical body to a state where it emitted a radiant glow, he still had five strands left. ꭆ????Ŋ????ΒÈ???? From refining so much World Origin Qi, Lu Qing realized that most cultivators could only refine one strand at most. Only those like him, whose bodies had been tempered by heavenly tribulations and far surpassed ordinary cultivators, could possibly refine and contain multiple strands of World Origin Qi. Therefore, neither his master nor Xiaoyan needed more World Origin Qi, leaving him free to dispose of the remaining five strands as he wished. He decided to give one to the Tianji Tower Master as a token of gratitude for the hospitality they had received during their stay at the Tianji Tower. Especially since, without the timely notification from the Tower Master and his help in overseeing the courtyard, taking care of Xiaoyan and the others, Lu Qing would have been worried. If it weren’t for that, not only would his master have been forcibly converted into a puppet, but even Xiaoyan and the others might have been in danger. Considering all these favors, giving away an extra strand of World Origin Qi didn’t seem like much. However, how the Tianji Tower Master would deal with the World Origin Qi—whether he would refine it himself or bestow it upon his disciples—was still unknown. The carriage continued to move slowly through the Sacred City. Many forces that received messages from their spies began to rush towards the area. On both sides of the street, more and more powerful figures began to gather. But without exception, everyone merely watched the carriage quietly, not daring to stop it. Sensing the intense pressure from the powerful auras on either side, Mago, who was only at the Postnatal Realm, felt a stifling pressure, his chest tight and sweat forming on his forehead. Even the two Dragonblood Horses pulling the carriage started to become restless. "Hmph!" At that moment, a cold snort echoed from inside the carriage, like a heavy hammer striking everyone’s hearts. The more deeply cultivated managed better, only feeling a sharp pain between their brows, with some dizziness. However, those with weaker cultivation in the Precelestial Realm felt the world spin, their hearts wracked with pain, and their qi in turmoil. Some even spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering serious internal injuries. All the powerful figures were terrified, quickly retracting their auras, not daring to reveal even the slightest bit. As the surrounding pressure disappeared, Mago felt a great relief, his heart relaxing significantly. At the same time, a sense of pride welled up within him. As expected of Brother Lu Qing, with just a cold snort, he was able to subdue all the powerful figures in the Sacred City, leaving them afraid to act recklessly. Such awe-inspiring power—who else in the world could compare! After using his soul to send a shockwave as a slight punishment, Lu Qing did not take further action. With his current cultivation, ordinary Precelestial Realm experts were no longer worth his attention. Only those at the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm, who had comprehended the ultimate stage, or those like his master, who had grasped the concept of a domain, could even slightly catch his interest. However, both the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm and those who had comprehended a domain were exceedingly rare, as rare as phoenix feathers. In particular, those who had reached the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm usually secluded themselves, focusing on breaking through to higher realms, rarely seen in the world. For example, even though there were so many Precelestial Realm experts in the Sacred City this time, apart from the Third Saint Lord, Lu Qing hadn’t encountered anyone else at the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm. The highest level he had seen was merely Precelestial Realm Major Achievement. Moreover, even the Third Saint Lord wasn’t a true pinnacle Precelestial Realm expert but had instead used his powerful soul force to take control of a puppet body. Compared to a true pinnacle Precelestial Realm expert, there was still a considerable difference. "Mage, pick up the pace. No need to go so slowly anymore," Lu Qing said calmly after subduing the presumptuous Precelestial Realm experts. "Yes, Young Master." Mago cracked the whip, and the two Dragonblood Horses began to trot, quickly leaving the group of Precelestial Realm experts behind. Once the carriage disappeared from sight, the Precelestial Realm experts exchanged bitter smiles, still shaken. "We were too rash. I didn’t expect that one to have such a temper." "I told you to be more restrained. He even dared to kill the people of Xuankong Mountain as if he were chopping vegetables, and you still dare to release your aura in front of him? Are you tired of living?" "Who would’ve thought he’d be so unreasonable? I didn’t even offend him." "When facing a true expert, you should be careful with your words and actions. Otherwise, sooner or later, you’ll suffer for it." "Should we keep following?" "Follow my ass! If we upset him again and he decides to draw his blade, we’ll all end up dead!" ... The carriage continued to trot along and soon reached the city gates. The area was also filled with spies from various factions. Upon seeing the carriage approach, they all instinctively stepped aside, fearful of blocking its path. Mago paid them no mind. After the carriage fully exited the city gates, he cracked the whip again with a sharp sound. Neigh! Hearing the signal, the two Dragonblood Horses became excited, raising their hooves and stomping the ground. After being cooped up in the city for so long, they were already restless. They immediately picked up speed, galloping forward with all their might. At the same time, a stream of green energy emerged from the carriage, enveloping both the horses and the carriage. In the next moment, the carriage shot forward like a streak of green light, rapidly leaving the Sacred City behind and speeding off into the distance. "What... what is that?" Everyone at the city gates who saw this scene was utterly shocked. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "A Wind-riding Carriage? The carriage he’s riding is actually the legendary Wind-riding Carriage?" On the city walls, several powerful figures were equally astonished by what they saw. "Who exactly is this Lu Xiaolangjun? Not only is his background mysterious, but he can even bring out such an ancient treasure as the Wind-riding Carriage." In the Tianji Tower, Lin Zhirui looked at the jade talisman in his hand and said, "Master, Lu Xiaolangjun and his party have left the city." "Yes," the Tianji Tower Master nodded and then handed the jade bottle in his hand to Lin Zhirui. "Zhirui, you should be the one to refine this opportunity." "Me? Refine it?" Lin Zhirui was taken aback and quickly shook his head. "Master, how could I? This opportunity was given to you by Lu Xiaolangjun. If you refine it, you might even step into the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm." "I can somewhat guess Lu Xiaolangjun's intentions. He gave this to me with the idea that I should pass it on to you. He knew that if he gave it to you directly, you might not accept it, so he came up with this compromise. In the end, this thing is still meant for you," the Tianji Tower Master said with a smile. He understood his disciple well. When making friends, Lin Zhirui never liked it when their relationships were entangled with other things. Lu Xiaolangjun must have known about Zhirui’s personality, which is why he used the Tower Master as an intermediary. It had to be said, despite his youth, the young man’s subtle thinking was indeed surprising. Lin Zhirui stared blankly at the jade bottle. Being as astute as he was, he naturally understood what his master had just said. But after regaining his composure, he firmly shook his head. "Master, you should be the one to refine this. The world is in chaos, and the situation in the Sacred City is unclear. No one knows when the storm will break. If you refine this opportunity, you will certainly step into the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm, and our Tianji Tower will be better positioned to deal with whatever comes." "Haha, you need not worry about that. For me to step into the pinnacle of the Precelestial Realm, I don't need this," the Tianji Tower Master chuckled. Lin Zhirui was stunned. "Master, what do you mean?" "Yesterday, while I watched Lu Xiaolangjun undergo his tribulation, I gained some new insights into the mysteries of the tribulation aura. I’ve had some new realizations in the art of divination. It won’t be long before I take that crucial step," the Tianji Tower Master revealed, much to Lin Zhirui’s delight. "Master, does that mean you're about to break through?" "Indeed, so will you take this opportunity or not?" Lin Zhirui hesitated for a moment as he looked at the jade bottle in his master's hand. Suddenly, as if recalling something, his expression became resolute. ... While the Tianji Tower Master and his disciple were pushing the World Origin Qi back and forth, three ethereal figures were meditating in a mystical place on the Sacred Mountain. One of them was the Third Saint Lord, who had fought against Lu Qing. "The boy has left the Sacred City," a gray figure said. "I told you, Second Brother, your efforts were in vain," the Third Saint Lord replied calmly. "That boy is too cautious to come up the mountain so easily." "But according to what you said yesterday, that boy is only at the early stage of the Precelestial Realm, yet he dared to challenge you. How can someone so reckless be cautious?" the gray figure asked curiously. "He dared to face me because he had absolute confidence in himself. And as it turned out, I lost to him, didn’t I?" the Third Saint Lord replied. "But that doesn’t mean the boy is reckless. Thinking back, from the moment I appeared yesterday, the boy never showed any signs of panic. Even when I used the technique to merge with heaven and earth, his expression remained unchanged. It was as if he had seen through my identity and knew my strength. I even suspect he already knew that my puppet body wasn’t my true body," the Third Saint Lord reflected on the battle with Lu Qing, becoming more uneasy the more he thought about it. From start to finish, Lu Qing had been too calm, displaying a level of composure far beyond what one would expect from a young man. "Seeing through your puppet body? How could that be?" The gray figure shook his head in disbelief. "Not even pinnacle Precelestial Realm experts can see through a puppet body. How could someone who has just entered the Precelestial Realm possess such insight?" Table of content
