Pfft!
Up in the heavens, once Lu Qing had seized the elder with white hair and a youthful face, he offered no quarter.
Without hesitation, he shattered the man's mortal form and confined his Primordial Spirit, hurling it into the Illusion Realm Space for a thorough soul-search.
During the whole ordeal, the defensive dharma treasures adorning the elder proved utterly useless.
A subtle glow from one artifact flickered briefly before getting pulverized right alongside the body.
Given Lu Qing's present might, typical spiritual artifacts crumbled like tissue before him.
Not even mid-grade spiritual tools could endure a direct hit from his utmost force.
Solely top-tier spirit artifacts might hold up against his overwhelming strength.
As Lu Qing delved into soul-searching the elder's Primordial Spirit,
A profound hush descended upon Zhou Tian City beneath.
Moments ago, throngs of onlookers had witnessed the enigmatic figure in the ghost face mask
Dispatch the esteemed Gongshu family ancestors with ease, much like butchering fowl.
From beginning to end, not a single ancestor managed any real fight back.
Ultimately, the mightiest old patriarch of the Gongshu clan got subdued by a single palm strike, his body demolished, and his Primordial Spirit seized.
This staggering spectacle immediately sparked profound dread deep within every spectator's soul.
The way they stared at Lu Qing resembled beholding a fearsome Demon God.
Simultaneously, all realized the Gongshu family's downfall was sealed.
With multiple Primordial Spirit ancestors and the veteran clan head wiped out, the bulk of the Gongshu family's Primordial Spirit level fighters had been eliminated.
As a dominant clan ruling expansive lands, the implications were obvious to all without further thought.
In that instant, the slyer folks started averting their eyes, likely scheming in their heads.
Yet, owing to the dread presence of the ghost face masked terror hovering above, despite any sly notions, nobody ventured to make a move just then.
Lu Qing paid no heed to the unrest down below.
As he probed the elder's Primordial Spirit via soul-search, he dropped down to claim the storage magical treasures off the fallen Gongshu family ancestors.
He lacked the moment to examine them when a sudden realization hit.
"Hmm? Another Gongshu family ancestor at Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation is journeying through the starry skies?"
The soul-search within the Illusion Realm Space had already yielded clear insights on the elder.
Lu Qing verified from the man's recollections that the Gongshu family orchestrated the abduction of Five Treasure Taoist and Ye Qingzhu.
This ancient schemer had been the chief architect of the plot.
Moreover, Lu Qing uncovered a host of other recollections.
Shockingly, the white-haired, child-faced elder wasn't the pinnacle power in the Gongshu family.
Another ancestor at Eight Tribulations Perfection had departed centuries back to wander the starry skies, hunting for a path to ascension.
Whether that ancestor achieved a breakthrough in those years and ascended to greater heights remained unknown.
Still, it was certain he lived on.
The soul lamp dedicated to him in the Gongshu family's ancestral hall stayed aglow, never flickering out over the ages.
Naturally, though this revelation caught Lu Qing off guard, it failed to rattle him deeply.
Just an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit—even should that veteran have advanced to Nine Tribulations—posed no threat to Lu Qing's existing prowess.
What genuinely piqued Lu Qing's curiosity was details on the Gongshu family's treasure repository.
Should he uncover riches in the Gongshu clan's vault,
he might swiftly achieve yet another major leap in his cultivation path.
At that point, his freedom to act boldly in the Heavenly Origin Great World would expand further.
Having gathered the storage magical treasures from the Gongshu Primordial Spirits, Lu Qing vanished in a blur, materializing inside the Inner City.
Zhou Tian City lay divided by his blade, the Circulation Star Array utterly ruined, its might reduced to under a tenth.
The spatial lockdown had dissolved, permitting unfettered deployment of the Space Shifting Technique.
Releasing his Primordial Spirit Sense, Lu Qing swiftly mapped the Inner City's layout in his mind and soul.
His form flickered once more, landing before a towering palace hall.
"Stop right there, stop! The ancestral hall is off-limits, no outsiders permitted!"
Spotting Lu Qing's arrival, more than a dozen Golden Core Realm sentinels quaked like facing a dire foe, unsheathing their magical treasures toward him.
Still, none mustered the nerve to strike at Lu Qing.
The recent display of this fiend decimating the ancestors lingered vividly in their thoughts.
They knew full well that this divine yet ghostly masked powerhouse lay beyond their ability to challenge.
With a single look, every detail on the Golden Core Realm guards unfolded in Lu Qing's vision.
His eyes turning icy, a few threads of sword qi gathered ahead of him.
The instant after, the heads of those Golden Core Realm guards tumbled free, crimson spilling across the earth.
Lu Qing advanced steadily, each stride amplifying the oppressive aura around.
Upon nearing the hall's doorway, the Golden Core Realm guards found themselves pinned flat to the ground, immobile.
Lu Qing ignored them entirely, flicking his wrist to unleash sword qi that rent the massive doors and their protective array to pieces.
With that accomplished, Lu Qing at last entered the grand hall.
Within, splendor of gold and jade met his gaze.
Straight ahead stretched a vast array of spirit tablets, flanked by scores of soul lamps on either side,
every one flickering with an eerie, dim glow.
