I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1220 - 749: Spiritual Charm Soaring to the Sky, Dangers Within the Trial Passage

How could he not feel a sense of dread? He had already been contemplating how to settle his grievances with Mo Tushan.

Nevertheless, such matters had to be postponed until he could successfully elevate his cultivation realm.

"Very well, I shall commence a period of closed-door training to further my cultivation. This cave mansion is rich in spiritual energy; Little Li, you should take this opportunity to cultivate here as well."

"Mm!"

Little Li gave a firm nod, its eyes shimmering with anticipation.

The thick spiritual energy permeating the cave mansion would undoubtedly accelerate the growth of its cultivation level.

With luck, it might even shatter its current bottleneck and ascend to the next realm!

However, Little Li chose not to remain by Lu Qing’s side, instead withdrawing to a distant corner of the cave mansion to begin its practice.

It understood that Lu Qing would occasionally have to face a tribulation, and staying too close might result in it being caught in the crossfire.

Lu Qing smiled as he watched Little Li retreat to the corner.

With a flick of his wrist, a Jade Bottle appeared—the Purification Bottle bestowed by the Old Cyan Dragon, containing various elixirs.

It was a pity that these pills were all at the Primordial Spirit level; otherwise, he would have gladly offered some to Little Li.

Utilizing his superpower, he meticulously scanned the contents to ensure the elixirs were untainted.

Satisfied, Lu Qing extracted a Nourishing God Pill, swallowed it, and sank into a meditative state.

Immediately, the potent spiritual energy within the cave mansion swirled into a vortex, drawn toward Lu Qing.

The surging medicinal properties of the pill, merged with the ambient spiritual energy, caused Lu Qing’s recently attained Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation cultivation to begin its steady ascent.

"It appears Ah Qing still harbors some suspicion toward us."

High above Spirit Void Peak, the Old Cyan Dragon and the three mutant beasts remained suspended in the air.

"That is only natural for a human. When suddenly met with such kindness, anyone would be on guard. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world," the Black Bull remarked.

"Time will be the ultimate proof," Ming Feng added with a calm demeanor. "We have only just met; Ah Qing does not yet know our nature. Once he becomes familiar with us, he will see that we have no ill intent."

"Indeed, given enough time, Ah Qing will recognize our sincerity," the Old Cyan Dragon spoke softly.

They possessed more than enough patience to earn Lu Qing's trust.

A genius of such unparalleled caliber was well worth the dedication.

"Now then, let us plan Ah Qing’s future training. Advancing one's cultivation in the Array Dao demands immense resources. Old Cyan Dragon, does the Treasure Vault hold enough wealth?" Ming Feng inquired.

"It is difficult to say." The Old Cyan Dragon let out a sigh. "When the master departed, he took the majority of the Immortal Palace's treasures with him. The remaining resources in the Treasure Vault should suffice to push Ah Qing to the Unity Realm Stage.

However, the Transformation Realm is a different matter. As you know, that stage cannot be reached through the mere accumulation of resources."

Ming Feng fell into a thoughtful silence.

The Transformation Realm was indeed a daunting peak to climb.

Even making progress after reaching the Unity Realm Stage was an arduous journey, requiring profound insight rather than just physical resources.

If it were otherwise, they would not have remained stagnant in the Initial Realm of Unity for several millennia.

"Do not worry. With talent like Ah Qing’s, the Unity Realm will not be an obstacle; I have full faith in him. If a man like him cannot reach the Transformation Realm, I doubt anyone can," the Black Bull declared.

Remembering the extraordinary talent Lu Qing had displayed, the Old Cyan Dragon and Ming Feng nodded in silent agreement.

Never before had they witnessed a cultivator with such frightening aptitude for the Array Dao.

In comparison, even the most brilliant direct disciples their master once had seemed mediocre.

"Oh?"

While the three mutant beasts were conversing, the Old Cyan Dragon suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise.

"What has happened, Old Cyan Dragon?" the Black Bull asked.

"It is nothing major, simply that two more cultivators have simultaneously cleared the fourth level of the Sword Dao trial."

"More have reached the fourth level already?"

The Black Bull was genuinely surprised.

It appeared that this batch of explorers in the secret realm contained quite a few geniuses.

Nevertheless, they were still far beneath Lu Qing’s level; they were destined to leave with very little this time.

"Indeed, the Sword Dao comprehension of those two is quite impressive; they made short work of the trial the master left behind."

"Since Ah Qing has entered seclusion and we have time to spare, why don't we observe the performance of these youngsters?" the Black Bull suggested.

"Very well. If we find any promising talents, even if we do not take them as disciples, we can provide some small opportunities to establish good karma," the Old Cyan Dragon agreed.

Even the usually cold and distant Ming Feng did not voice any objections this time.

With a shimmer in the air, the three massive figures vanished from the second level of the Immortal Palace.

"Senior Brother Yu Jian, I did not expect that we would clear this level at the same time."

Within the fourth layer of the Sword Dao trial, Qing Xii offered a smile to Yu Jian.

Unlike the Array Dao trial Lu Qing had faced, the Sword Dao channel allowed trialists to interact with one another.

"Junior Sister’s understanding of the Sword Dao is truly marvelous; it has left me in awe," Yu Jian said with genuine admiration.

His praise was sincere, not mere politeness.

Despite Qing Xii having a lower cultivation level than his own,

they had traversed the third level with nearly identical speed.

This proved that her talent for the Sword Dao was equal to his, if not superior.

He found the realization quite staggering.

"Senior Brother is too kind. I am barely maintaining your pace for now, but I fear I will eventually fall behind," Qing Xii said, shaking her head.

She was well aware of her own circumstances; her success in the earlier stages was largely due to her unique constitution.

When it came to pure Sword Dao comprehension, she felt she lacked the depth of Yu Jian, who had dedicated his entire life to the Sky-breaking Sword Sect’s teachings.

She expected that the later, more difficult levels would see her struggling to keep up.

"Junior Sister, you are being far too modest," Yu Jian disagreed.

Seeing his insistence, Qing Xii chose not to argue and instead changed the subject.

"Regardless, Senior Brother, my sect’s records mention that upon entering the fifth level, we might encounter trialists from other channels. We must remain vigilant."

"Yes, the ancestors of my sect left similar warnings; please stay on your guard, Junior Sister," Yu Jian’s tone turned solemn.

He thought back to the records that described the fifth level as a place of bloody conflict.

The ancestors had stressed that the first person to reach that stage would hold the advantage, a fact they had to keep in mind.

Realizing the urgency, Yu Jian spoke up, "Junior Sister, let us examine the test for this fourth level immediately."

"After you, Senior Brother."

The area they occupied was vast and empty, save for a monolithic Trial Sword Stone standing at the center.

Being familiar with the format, they both walked toward the massive stone.

The rules of the Sword Dao channel were straightforward.

Each level featured a Trial Sword Stone imbued with a specific, strange Sword Intent.

The participants were required to grasp and condense that Sword Intent within themselves.

To pass, they had to use that comprehended intent to carve a mark at least three inches deep into the stone within the allotted time.

As they stood before the Trial Sword Stone, both Yu Jian and Qing Xii looked grave.

The task sounded simple, but it demanded an incredible level of Sword Dao comprehension.

Many prodigies from the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect had entered, yet only the two of them had successfully reached the fourth level.

This was a testament to how profound the Sword Intent within these stones truly was.

Focusing their minds, the two began to immerse their Heart and Spirit into the Trial Sword Stone, attempting to unlock the secrets hidden within.

"Boom!"

While Yu Jian and Qing Xii were occupied with their task, a figure clad in a Purple Dragon Robe finally pulverized a black pillar in a different trial channel.

Moments later, a pillar of light descended to claim him.

"At long last, the third level is cleared."

The middle-aged man in the Purple Dragon Robe had succeeded, but his expression remained devoid of any joy.
