I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1225 - 752: Little Li’s Opportunity
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
"At last, the Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations stage is complete."
Within the secluded cave mansion of Spirit Void Peak, Lu Qing sensed the terrifying pressure of the heavenly might finally fading away, his soul brimming with exaltation.
His physical form had undergone a radical transformation during this period.
Whether it was his physical constitution, his mana reserves, or his primordial spirit, every aspect of his being had seen an explosive surge in power.
Most notably, the strengthening of his primordial spirit allowed Lu Qing to effortlessly project his spiritual will into the deep layers of the surrounding void, where he could perceive the complex web of laws governing the infinite emptiness.
"I see. Only by reaching the Five Tribulations realm and undergoing the baptism of the Power of the Great Path can a cultivator truly perceive the myriad laws hidden within the endless void."
A sudden moment of enlightenment struck Lu Qing's heart.
He was not entirely unfamiliar with the power of laws.
During his sessions of cultivating divine skills, he had previously accessed that vast Sea of Laws for comprehension.
Back then, however, he was forced to rely on the divine power seed inside his body to act as a bridge, restricting his understanding only to the specific laws tied to that seed.
The situation had changed; now that his realm had ascended, he could traverse the Sea of Laws using nothing but his own primordial spirit, granting him the freedom to study any law he desired.
"Beyond the Five Tribulations, Cultivation is no longer merely about accumulating mana; one begins to grasp the laws, attempting to dominate them and weave their power into oneself, triggering a fundamental evolution of one’s strength."
As Lu Qing analyzed the shifts following his breakthrough, many previous obscurities in his Cultivation path were suddenly resolved.
Such is the nature of Cultivation; regardless of how detailed a manual might be, if the required realm has not been reached, the true essence remains elusive.
Even with a foundation as robust as Lu Qing’s and the aid of his superpowers, he had found it nearly impossible to deduce the subsequent techniques for the Million Dollar Divine Skill while in the lower realms.
Now, however, having officially stepped into the Five Tribulations realm and feeling the intricate laws reflected upon his primordial spirit, he felt a spark of inspiration.
Lu Qing now possessed a potential direction for the sixth tribulation’s technique.
"The primary objective for the next phase of my journey will be to master these laws and refine the following stages of the Perfect Primordial Spirit Skill."
With a clear path illuminated before him, Lu Qing felt invigorated.
Nevertheless, he did not immediately return to his meditation, opting instead to open his eyes.
Having just survived the tribulation, his mind and spirit were naturally drained and required a period of recuperation.
The path of Cultivation demands a balance between rigorous effort and necessary rest.
"Ah Qing, have you truly attained the Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations?"
Seeing Lu Qing stir, Little Li rushed toward him to inquire.
"I have," Lu Qing confirmed with a nod.
The little creature’s eyes grew wide with shock: "Ah Qing, your Cultivation speed is simply too terrifying!"
Lu Qing reached out to pat the little one's head: "My path is unique. Provided I have ample resources, my progress will naturally be swifter than most."
"It’s still too fast. I feel like I can’t be of any help to you anymore," Little Li admitted, sounding somewhat discouraged.
It had also made significant strides recently, successfully reaching the Golden Core Seventh Transition.
Yet, when measured against Lu Qing’s current prowess, its strength seemed almost negligible.
"How can you say that? Haven't you always been my protector?" Lu Qing said with a chuckle.
Just as Lu Qing was about to offer more comfort to the dejected Little Li, the voice of the Old Cyan Dragon echoed from outside the cave.
The message was clear: since he had finished his seclusion, he should come out.
"How did the three seniors realize I had finished so quickly?" Lu Qing mused.
Picking up Little Li, he deactivated the cave mansion’s protective array and stepped outside.
The three figures were waiting patiently beyond the entrance.
They were caught off guard when they saw Lu Qing emerge carrying a peculiar little beast at the Golden Core realm.
This was a creature they hadn't encountered before.
"Greetings, seniors."
Lu Qing offered a respectful bow to the Old Cyan Dragon and the others, and Little Li quickly followed suit.
Internally, however, Little Li was trembling.
Even though the three seniors were suppressing their auras, its primal instincts screamed that each of them was a source of immense danger.
It felt as though a single thought from them could erase its existence.
"Ah Qing, who is this little fellow you're holding?"
The Old Cyan Dragon peered at Little Li with a benevolent gaze.
"This is my companion from my youth. It entered the secret realm with me by chance. For its safety, I kept it hidden within a spiritual artifact and failed to mention it to you three. I hope you can forgive me."
Lu Qing spoke with a tone of sincere apology.
"A companion?"
At Lu Qing’s choice of words, the expressions of the three mutant beasts shifted.
They scrutinized Little Li, confirming that there was indeed no trace of a master-slave soul brand within the creature.
Under the intense gaze of the three powerhouses, Little Li shivered and instinctively buried itself closer to Lu Qing.
Noticing the little one's fright, the Old Cyan Dragon and the others felt a bit awkward, not intending to intimidate the small creature.
Their opinion of Lu Qing, however, grew even more favorable.
It was a rare sight to see a human cultivator treat a spiritual beast with such genuine equality.
"Is your name Little Li? There is no need for fear. As Ah Qing’s companion, you are safe with us."
The Black Bull scratched its head while looking at the tiny Little Li.
Ming Feng shot a look at the clumsy bull, worried that its gruffness might only scare the little beast further.
Sensing the kind intentions of the three mutant beasts, Lu Qing finally felt his tension ease.
He had specific reasons for bringing Little Li out into the open.
He knew from Little Li’s earlier feelings that it craved more power.
While Lu Qing possessed his own superpowers, he lacked the proper knowledge to effectively train spiritual beasts.
He was, after all, a human.
These three mutant beasts were different; as powerful entities far beyond the primordial spirit realm, they were perfectly suited to guide Little Li on the right path.
Furthermore, through his interactions and the information gathered by his superpowers, Lu Qing was certain of one thing.
These three truly wished him no harm and sincerely wanted him to become part of the Immortal Palace.
Only with this certainty did he feel comfortable revealing Little Li.
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Qing spoke plainly: "To be honest, I brought Little Li out to ask if the Immortal Palace possesses any resources or techniques suitable for its growth.
Little Li has been by my side for many years, but I have never been able to provide it with the optimal conditions for Cultivation. I feel a great deal of guilt over this."
Upon hearing this, Little Li finally realized why Lu Qing had revealed its presence.
"A technique for this little one?"
Once again, the three mutant beasts turned their attention to Little Li.
"Indeed. Little Li possesses remarkable talent, having formed a flawless innate high-grade demon core. Furthermore, it has innate spatial divine abilities, but it lacks the proper secret techniques to harness that potential..."
"What was that? This little one has spatial divine skills?!"
The Old Cyan Dragon cut him off, his eyes widening in shock.
Even the Black Bull and Ming Feng looked on with visible astonishment.
"...That is correct," Lu Qing confirmed with a nod.
In an instant, the Old Cyan Dragon’s eyes sparkled with renewed interest as he stared at Little Li.
