Chapter 388Unexpectedly, the secret method Lu Qing referred to turned out to be the legendary Divine Ability! "Yan" was filled with shock. However... If it was a Divine Ability, then everything made sense. “I never imagined that you, young master, would possess a Divine Ability. It seems I’ve been too shortsighted and misunderstood you.” “Senior was only concerned that I might stray from the right path. How could Lu Qing not understand?” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have revealed this trump card of his. “No wonder you, young master, are so confident. The concept of Divine Abilities is something even I have only heard of but never had the fortune to witness.” Back then, though the Li Huo Sect was full of talented individuals and was considered a major sect in the entire cultivation world, no one possessed a Divine Ability. Thus, Yan knew little about the path of Divine Abilities. Of course, even though he was curious, Yan refrained from asking for details about Lu Qing’s Divine Ability. Lu Qing’s willingness to reveal such an important trump card already showed immense trust in him. Probing further would be ungracious. At least now, Yan’s worries were fully assuaged. The path of Divine Abilities was unfathomable and extraordinarily powerful, surpassing any cultivation techniques or secret methods in complexity and might. With his innate Divine Ability and exceptional talent, Lu Qing, even with his current strength, might not necessarily be at a disadvantage when facing an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator. After all, in the ancient cultivation era, there were cases where cultivators used the power of Divine Abilities to leap across an entire cultivation realm, slaying a Nascent Soul Realm expert while still in the Golden Core Realm, shaking the entire cultivation world. That cultivator later advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, becoming a prominent figure in the cultivation world, virtually untouchable—a true legend. Even if Lu Qing’s Divine Ability wasn’t as formidable as that individual’s, capable of killing Golden Core Realm cultivators across realms, it could likely hold its own. With Yan’s assistance, even a Golden Core Realm opponent might not necessarily be able to defeat him. “It was merely luck for this junior. I acquired the Divine Ability during my tribulation in Zhongzhou.” “A Divine Ability bestowed by the heavens... This means, young master, that your talent has reached a level that has drawn the attention of the will of the Heavenly Dao, which then granted you the Divine Ability as a protective skill.” Yan sighed deeply. What did it mean to shake the heavens and earth? This was it. Lu Qing’s cultivation talent was so extraordinary that even the Heavenly Dao couldn’t help but intervene, bestowing him a Divine Ability to safeguard his growth. Lu Qing smiled faintly and said no more. He didn’t tell Yan that he had obtained more than one Divine Ability. Instead, he closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation, focusing on comprehending another minor Divine Ability related to the soul, called Phantasm. A mysterious aura once again appeared around Lu Qing. Seeing this, Yan tactfully withdrew its presence and returned to the Li Huo Cauldron. Its worries had completely dissipated, replaced by eager anticipation for the future. Time passed day by day. The rules of heaven and earth continued their evolution, and the concentration of spiritual energy steadily increased. However, its rate of growth gradually slowed. Finally, by the time Lu Qing had cultivated Phantasm to the minor completion stage, the changes in spiritual energy had become almost imperceptible. “It seems the next occurrence of the Heavenly Dao Sounds won’t happen for a long time.” Sensing the rules of heaven and earth, Lu Qing came to this understanding. After the fifth sounding of the Heavenly Dao Sounds, the evolution of the heavenly rules had taken on a trace of "immortality," becoming more stable in the process. Although the rules were still evolving, the pace was extremely slow—so slow that it was barely perceptible even with close observation. Lu Qing immediately understood that the rejuvenation of the heavens and earth in this world had reached a temporary conclusion and had truly stabilized. Waiting for the next occurrence of the Heavenly Dao Sounds would likely take considerable time. “Indeed. Since the evolution of the heavenly rules has stabilized, those ancient cultivators must also be preparing for their tribulations and breakthroughs.” Lu Qing’s gaze seemed to pierce through space, looking far into the distance. ... In Zhongzhou, atop the Sacred Mountain. “Big brother, are you sure you want to attempt your tribulation breakthrough now?” The Third Holy Lord, who had once fought Lu Qing, now looked at his elder brother, the First Holy Lord of the Sacred Mountain, with an expression that carried unease and apprehension instead of his usual cold demeanor. “Big brother, perhaps it would be better to wait and accumulate further. There’s no need to rush into this.” The Second Holy Lord also spoke up. “Judging by the slow pace of the evolution of the heavenly rules, the next occurrence of the Heavenly Dao Sounds is still far off. We have plenty of time to cultivate at our own pace.” “You’re both still afraid.” The First Holy Lord sighed. “The path of cultivation requires decisiveness. Hesitation and fear of failure are the greatest enemies. “Since I have already glimpsed the opportunity for a breakthrough, I must seize it boldly and advance without hesitation. “Otherwise, we risk missing the opportunity and becoming trapped in a bottleneck, unable to progress.” “That’s true, but it’s still a tribulation we’re talking about. Who wouldn’t feel reverence and fear when facing the heavenly tribulation?” The Second Holy Lord gave a bitter smile. “That’s why I’ll go first and pave the way for you. “Regardless of whether I succeed or fail, you will gain some valuable experience from it.” The First Holy Lord spoke calmly, showing no trace of anxiety about the impending tribulation. Hearing the unyielding determination in his elder brother’s words, the Second and Third Holy Lords finally gave up trying to dissuade him. “Big brother, when do you plan to undergo the tribulation?” “Right now.” “Now?!” Both the Second and Third Holy Lords were startled. “Indeed, now.” The First Holy Lord lifted his gaze to the sky. They were currently standing atop the Sacred Mountain. As beings closely tied to the mountain, the unique suppressive force present on it had minimal impact on the three brothers, allowing them to reach the summit with ease. At this moment, the sky above was a clear blue, devoid of any clouds. However, the moment the First Holy Lord released the restraints on his cultivation base, the sky underwent a drastic transformation. Winds howled, and dark clouds began to gather rapidly, forming a vortex of tribulation clouds. A suffocating pressure spread in all directions. Such heavenly might could not escape the notice of others. In the Sacred City at the foot of the mountain, countless people looked up to the sky in astonishment. “Look! What’s that above the Sacred Mountain?” “Tribulation clouds! Someone’s undergoing a tribulation!” “To undergo a tribulation atop the Sacred Mountain... It must be one of the Holy Lords!” “The fifth sounding of the Heavenly Dao Sounds was not that long ago, and the Holy Lords are already attempting breakthroughs?” ... The strong cultivators in the Sacred City were all taken aback when they saw the dark cloud vortex forming above the mountain. Having witnessed the mysterious young man’s tribulation previously, they immediately recognized the phenomenon as tribulation clouds. Someone atop the Sacred Mountain was undergoing a tribulation! It didn’t take long for everyone to understand what was happening.
