Chapter 395Ultimately, Lin Zhirui did not obtain any useful information from Lu Qing. After all, before Lin Zhirui arrived, Lu Qing had not even known what had happened in Zhongzhou... So how could he possibly know anything about those two mysterious individuals? After Lin Zhirui left, Lu Qing’s expression grew somewhat grave. The figure of "Yan" also appeared beside Lu Qing. "Xiao Langjun, do you think those two individuals he mentioned are truly visitors from beyond this world?" If it had been in the past, "Yan" would have dismissed this as utter nonsense. After all, in the last cultivation era, there had never been any so-called "visitors from beyond." There was even ongoing debate in the cultivation world about whether there were other living beings beyond their own world. But now, "Yan" no longer thought this way. After all, the Li Huo Cauldron contained a wisp of a demonic cultivator’s divine soul from another world. "I’m not sure," Lu Qing shook his head. "But if the information brought by Lord Zhirui is accurate, then the likelihood is high." "If the First Holy Lord has indeed passed the Thunder Tribulation, then he must have already achieved the Golden Core Realm. For those two mysterious individuals to easily defeat him, they must also be in the Golden Core Realm, and likely are deeply established, veteran cultivators of that rank. As of now, the five resonances of the Heavenly Dao sounds have only just introduced a hint of ‘immortality’ into the rules of heaven and earth. By all logic, there shouldn’t be such powerful cultivators in this world yet. The only possibility is, as the First Holy Lord speculated, that these two mysterious individuals are not from our world." Lu Qing shared his speculation. "That seems to be the only possibility." "Yan" also agreed with Lu Qing’s deduction, sighing softly. "The real question is, which world are they from, and how far is it from ours?" "Whether near or far is not something we can ascertain for now. But one thing is clear—these two mysterious individuals mean no good and are not kind souls." Lu Qing recalled what Lin Zhirui had mentioned earlier about the deeds of the two mysterious individuals in the Sacred City. It was evident that these were ruthless and merciless figures. Even slaughtering ordinary mortals was something they could do without hesitation—clearly individuals who viewed mortals as no more than ants. "Xiao Langjun, what do you plan to do?" "Yan" looked at Lu Qing. "What else can we do? Even the First Holy Lord, who passed the tribulation and stepped into the Golden Core Realm, is no match for them. Figures like these are far beyond what we can provoke. We’ll just watch and wait." Lu Qing spoke decisively. Although he was curious about the origins of these two individuals, he had no intention of risking trouble with such terrifying beings. "Exactly. Those two mysterious individuals are at least deeply established, veteran Golden Core cultivators. It’s better to avoid their edge for now." Hearing Lu Qing’s response, "Yan" sighed in relief. As long as Lu Qing didn’t seek them out actively, all would be well. Jiuli Village was in such a remote area that it was impossible for those two mysterious individuals to venture into such an impoverished and desolate place. ... In the following days, Lu Qing and the others continued their peaceful lives. Just as "Yan" had predicted, Jiuli Village was indeed remote. Apart from occasional visits from the Wei family or Lin Zhirui bringing news from the outside world, the village was almost entirely isolated. Even ordinary martial artists rarely ventured here, let alone innate realm or higher experts. However, the appearance of those two mysterious individuals did give Lu Qing a sense of urgency. Previously, he had lived a relatively leisurely life, but now he had no choice but to double his efforts in cultivation. One day, while Lu Qing was cultivating, his body suddenly shuddered. His aura surged abruptly, only to quickly recede again. "Finally, I’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment Small Accomplishment. This breakthrough speed is satisfactory," Lu Qing remarked with a hint of satisfaction. After stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Five Elements Gourd, this supreme treasure, began to gradually reveal its true power as a life-bound artifact. With his recent diligence, not only had his cultivation speed not slowed down, but it had actually accelerated. In less than a month, he had progressed from initial Foundation Establishment to the Small Accomplishment stage. "At this rate, within two or three more months, I should reach Foundation Establishment Perfection and catch up with those old masters." As his cultivation grew deeper, Lu Qing increasingly felt that refining the Five Elements Gourd as his life-bound artifact was one of the best decisions he had ever made. The support this supreme treasure provided to his cultivation was immense. And as he continued to advance in realm, when the artifact’s full power was truly unleashed, his cultivation would likely advance by leaps and bounds! "A Qing, A Qing, I think I’ve had a breakthrough!" As Lu Qing was rejoicing, a black shadow suddenly flew over, landing in his arms with an excited look. Who else could it be but Xiao Li? "Xiao Li, you’ve broken through?" Lu Qing asked in surprise. "Yes, I’ve finally started cultivating the technique from my inherited memories," Xiao Li replied joyfully. "Inherited technique..." Lu Qing’s mind stirred. He knew that the technique Xiao Li referred to was the one revealed when its bloodline awakened upon reaching the innate realm. However, the technique seemed difficult to cultivate. Xiao Li had been comprehending it for a long time before officially beginning to practice it. "Just beginning to practice it already led to a breakthrough?" "Yes! I’m now also in the Foundation Establishment Realm, catching up to you, A Qing!" the little creature declared proudly. "Xiao Li, that’s incredible." Lu Qing genuinely praised it. While his rapid cultivation was due to many factors, Xiao Li’s progress could only be attributed to the remarkable talent of the Black Night Spirit Lynx and the excellence of its inherited technique. No wonder "Yan" had been so astonished when he first saw Xiao Li. Following this realization, Lu Qing used his spiritual powers to examine Xiao Li thoroughly. As Xiao Li had said, its realm had indeed advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Moreover, due to its dual innate divine abilities, Xiao Li’s actual strength far exceeded its cultivation level. It could not be assessed using the standards of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm spirit beast. After all, the space-related divine abilities Xiao Li possessed were exceedingly rare, even among various types of divine abilities. Sensing Xiao Li’s strength, Lu Qing became intrigued and decided to spar with it. To his surprise, even when neither of them used any artifacts or divine abilities, Xiao Li’s strength was not much weaker than his own. Although Lu Qing’s physical body was incredibly formidable due to his training in the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, Xiao Li, as a spirit beast, also had a terrifyingly strong body. Adding to this was its near-unpredictable speed. After an extended bout, Lu Qing managed to gain the upper hand, but even then, it was difficult to subdue Xiao Li quickly. "A spirit beast’s body is truly extraordinary," Lu Qing remarked with admiration after the sparring session. Despite cultivating the Five Elements Body Refining Technique and having the refined spiritual energy from the Five Elements Gourd, which made his physical strength far superior to that of most body cultivators, Xiao Li’s physical prowess was not far behind his. This only served to highlight the exceptional bloodline and inherited techniques of the Black Night Spirit Lynx. "Xiao Li’s innate talents seem to surpass even those of the Black Night Spirit Lynx that served under that ancient demon emperor," "Yan" exclaimed in astonishment from within the Li Huo Cauldron. "Yan" was well aware of how terrifying Lu Qing’s current strength was. Yet Xiao Li, despite being a step below Lu Qing in cultivation, could last so long in a fight against him. "A Qing, am I amazing or what?" Xiao Li looked at Lu Qing with an expectant expression. "Of course, Xiao Li is amazing." Lu Qing reached out to rub Xiao Li’s head, causing the little creature to squint its eyes in delight. Suddenly, a deafening boom echoed through the air. At the same time, a powerful and inexplicable spatial fluctuation swept over from a distant location. Its origin was the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
