I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1224 - 751: Schemes All Around, Primordial Spirit Fifth Tribulation
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Handling both Hei Ming and the Peach Fairy simultaneously might prove too difficult for him if they decided to unite.
"I'll deal with that wench some other time; for now, I'll let it slide."
Mo Tushan pivoted, making his way back toward the Physical Body Trial Passage.
His primary objective at this moment was to clear the trial successfully.
It would be a foolish trade to sustain injuries seeking vengeance only to jeopardize his progress through the trial.
"These youngsters are quite the cunning bunch."
Inside the Immortal Palace, the Black Bull chuckled as he observed the movements displayed on the glowing screen.
"Reaching the eighth tribulation of the Primordial Spirit is no simple feat," the Old Cyan Dragon remarked. "These practitioners are the top-tier disciples of the external Sects; it is only natural that they are all highly perceptive."
Ming Feng remained the only one silent, observing the unfolding scene with a cold gaze.
"Let us continue to watch; they have a one-year window to conquer the fifth trial. As more individuals succeed, the entertainment will surely ramp up."
The Black Bull spoke with visible excitement.
He was keen to see the drama unfold, looking forward to the coming events with great anticipation.
As the days rolled by, the elite contenders within the trial passages continued their struggle to advance.
Meanwhile, Lu Qing was making rapid strides in his own Cultivation while training diligently atop Spirit Void Peak.
The pills provided by the Old Cyan Dragon were of exceptional quality and incredibly high grade.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy permeating Spirit Void Peak was so pure that it rivaled the essence found within middle-grade spirit stones.
Faced with such immense medicinal potency and vast spiritual energy, Lu Qing absorbed and refined every drop without hesitation.
Despite his remarkably deep foundation, his level of Cultivation surged forward at a speed that would leave any observer speechless.
Three months passed in this manner, and Lu Qing’s progress reached the Four Tribulations Small Success stage.
By the end of the first year, he had pushed into the Great Success realm.
Two years in, he reached the peak of perfection, encountering not a single bottleneck along the way.
Once his Cultivation stabilized at the Four Tribulations Perfection level, Lu Qing gradually emerged from his deep meditative state.
"I have finally attained Four Tribulations Perfection."
Lu Qing felt the surging mana coursing through his frame, feeling a sense of immense pride.
In just two years, he had traveled from the start of the Four Tribulations to its very peak.
Such a rate of progress would be considered terrifying for any cultivator in the Primordial Spirit realm.
Furthermore, because of his profound foundation, even the smallest step forward required a staggering amount of resources.
This rapid growth was solely possible because of the Old Cyan Dragon’s elixirs and the dense spiritual energy within this cave mansion.
Had he relied only on his personal stock of spirit stones, Lu Qing would never have been able to fuel such consumption.
"Next, I will make the necessary arrangements and prepare to face the tribulation."
Even with his Four Tribulations Perfection, Lu Qing did not end his seclusion.
Instead, he intended to prepare himself to face the upcoming trial directly, aiming to breakthrough to the Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit in one go.
Only by reaching the Five Tribulations could he begin to grasp and command the laws, narrowing the distance between himself and the peak of the Primordial Spirit.
"Oh? Little Li has made a breakthrough?"
Lu Qing checked on Little Li’s status and was surprised to find the little fellow had already reached the Seventh Transition Golden Core.
Its aura was firm, indicating that the breakthrough had occurred some time ago.
Seeing that Little Li was still focused on its training, Lu Qing felt happy for his companion but chose not to disturb it. He closed his eyes once more, returning to meditation.
Another month went by, and Lu Qing had refined his aura into a state of perfect harmony. Without delay, he summoned the ominous tribulation qi.
Rumble!
In the following instant, accompanied by a silent roar, a massive celestial pressure descended.
Vast amounts of deathly tribulation qi materialized from the void, completely surrounding Lu Qing.
The force sought to utterly destroy both his physical form and his primordial spirit.
This sudden disturbance jolted Little Li out of its Cultivation.
"Is Ah Qing facing another tribulation already?"
As Little Li watched the deathly tribulation qi swallow Lu Qing, its mouth hung open in shock.
Even though it had seen this many times over the last decade, the sight still made it shiver with fear.
Moreover, it could sense that Lu Qing’s current ordeal was vastly different from those that came before.
The sheer power behind this tribulation was significantly more intense.
"This fifth Primordial Spirit tribulation is truly something else, but I should be able to withstand it."
Lu Qing also recognized that the strength of this fifth trial was far more daunting.
However, given his solid foundation, surviving it should not be an issue.
"What?"
The moment Lu Qing triggered the tribulation, the Old Cyan Dragon in a separate spatial layer shuddered, his face filled with shock.
"Old Cyan Dragon, what has happened now?" the Black Bull asked, still focused on the screen.
He had noticed that since the opening of the Immortal Palace, the Old Cyan Dragon had been acting quite restless.
Ming Feng also turned to look at the Old Cyan Dragon for an answer.
"I sense celestial might and the presence of a tribulation within the second spatial layer," the Old Cyan Dragon replied, looking utterly confused.
"The aura of a tribulation?" The Black Bull was equally stunned. "Isn't Ah Qing the only one currently in that space? Could it be..."
"Let us go and see for ourselves."
The Old Cyan Dragon swept his claw, manifesting spatial energy that wrapped around the three of them.
Moments later, the three beast lords appeared within the second layer of space.
"It is indeed a tribulation."
Looking down at Spirit Void Peak, the Black Bull felt a wave of emotion.
While they could not see inside the disciple's cave mansion, they could clearly feel the heavy celestial pressure and the biting aura of the tribulation.
"Is Ah Qing actually undergoing a tribulation in there? But he was only at the start of the Four Tribulations Primordial Spirit. How could he be breaking through to the Five Tribulations realm so soon?"
The Old Cyan Dragon and Ming Feng were both visibly shaken.
With their level of power, they had clearly seen that Lu Qing had only just entered the Four Tribulations before he began his seclusion.
Yet, in such a short span of time, he had reached Four Tribulations Perfection and was already attempting to cross into the Five Tribulations?
Even with the help of the Old Cyan Dragon’s pills, such speed should have been impossible.
"It appears we have yet to grasp the true extent of Ah Qing’s talent for Cultivation."
The Old Cyan Dragon’s eyes flickered with a strange intensity.
He suddenly remembered Lu Qing asking if it were possible to walk two cultivation paths at once.
Could it be that, besides his genius in the Array Dao, Ah Qing possessed an equally legendary talent for standard Cultivation?
The Black Bull and Ming Feng both pondered the same possibility.
They looked at each other, their eyes reflecting a sense of delighted surprise.
If this were true, they had found something far more valuable than a mere treasure.
Despite their internal joy, the Old Cyan Dragon and the others remained quiet so as not to interfere, waiting patiently outside.
At this moment, the events in the trial passage were completely forgotten by them.
Even if the participants inside slaughtered one another, it wouldn't have grabbed their attention.
The three beasts waited for three whole days before they felt the tribulation aura on Spirit Void Peak begin to fade.
However, almost immediately, an even more powerful celestial might burst forth, accompanied by an intense surge of vitality.
The energy was so strong that even the protective arrays of the cave mansion could not contain it.
"What incredible vitality!"
The Old Cyan Dragon and the others were stunned once again.
They knew that this surge of life force was a gift from the Dao following a successful Primordial Spirit tribulation.
It served to help the cultivator rebuild their body, evolve their form, and expand their mana.
But the vitality erupting from Spirit Void Peak was far beyond anything a typical five tribulation Primordial Spirit should trigger.
In fact, even an eight tribulation Primordial Spirit moving to the ninth might not produce such a powerful reaction.
The Old Cyan Dragon and his companions stared at one another in disbelief.
If they didn't know Lu Qing was the one inside, they might have suspected a top-level Primordial Spirit expert had infiltrated the area.
"What are your thoughts?" the Old Cyan Dragon asked suddenly.
"What is there to think? We wait for Ah Qing to finish and come out, then we will see for ourselves."
Ming Feng’s voice remained steady.
However, the Black Bull and the Old Cyan Dragon, who knew her well, saw her tail feathers twitching slightly.
It was a sign that the normally stoic Ice Phoenix was far from calm.
"Agreed, we can only talk once Ah Qing emerges," the Old Cyan Dragon sighed.
The three mutant beasts continued their vigil, and after half a day, they finally felt the celestial pressure within the cave mansion begin to subside.
