I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1343 - 815: The Tenth Tribulation Emerges
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Upon the departure of the black-robed elder, the white-haired senior remained perched high above, his eyes fixed on the far horizon, bearing a mysterious look across his countenance.
With a gentle murmur: "Everyone speaks of an impending great calamity, the heavenly mechanism thrown into disarray. Then let me witness if you are indeed the harbinger of this catastrophe."
Meanwhile, in the cosmic expanse beyond the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Luo Yuantian was seated in the lotus position inside his spatial abode, staring at an unusual deduction formation in front of him, his face showing clear frustration.
Regardless of his repeated calculations, he found himself utterly unable to foresee the Human Race's destiny.
A veil of darkness seemed to blanket the future completely; the heavenly mechanism lay in total turmoil, impossible to unravel.
Yet through his calculations, he detected a chilling killing aura that sent shivers through his soul.
It felt as though some horrifying event loomed ahead, one that could endanger even existences at the Unity Realm like himself.
"Word spreads of a massive calamity drawing near. Might this disaster be fated to erupt within the Heavenly Origin Great World?"
Luo Yuantian reflected on an age-old foretelling that had echoed across the stars from antiquity.
This prophecy had been divined by a supreme Unity Realm expert of old, a master of the Path of Calculation, who sacrificed his life to reveal it.
The foretelling warned of a colossal calamity descending upon the starry skies in eras to come.
In its wake, countless lives would be extinguished, mighty figures would tumble, and not even the Great Powers of the Unity Realm could escape unscathed.
By the timeline outlined in that prophecy, the event was due within the last ten to twenty millennia.
Was the ominous killing intent he felt during his divinations connected to this?
Luo Yuantian couldn't confirm, yet an inexplicable unease gripped his mind and soul.
After some deep reflection, he abruptly exited his spatial dwelling, morphing into a ray of brilliance that streaked along the world barrier toward another direction.
Far off in the stellar void past the Heavenly Origin Great World, at the Sky-breaking Sword Sect.
A beam of light hurtled toward Sword Master Xuantian, who meditated atop a treacherous summit.
The Sword Master extended his hand to seize the incoming light, revealing it as a Messaging Flying Sword.
Scanning the message within the sword, his forehead soon creased in concern.
"Three years back, Mo Cangtian made a covert entry into the Heavenly Origin Great World?"
…
Oblivious to the upheavals beyond, Lu Qing continued his secluded meditation.
After three years of immersion, enlightenment struck like lightning.
The very instant the Light of Wisdom took form, he plunged into the profoundest depths of Sudden Enlightenment.
Instinctively, he commenced deducing the Tenth Tribulation for the Perfect Primordial Spirit Skill.
In that ultimate enlightened trance, bolstered by extraordinary abilities.
Lu Qing’s pace in deriving the Primordial Spirit surged by hundreds or even thousands of folds.
The myriad cultivation methods he had mastered raced through his thoughts, while beams of divine insight erupted within his Primordial Spirit.
The Great Dao-granted Primordial Spirit Chapter also radiated softly, its inscriptions shifting endlessly, as if unveiling cosmic principles.
At last, amidst the dazzling glows, Lu Qing uncovered a way to transcend Primordial Spirit boundaries and tread the uncharted path of the Tenth Tribulation!
Rumble!
The moment this revelation dawned, Lu Qing seized hold of that illuminating insight without delay.
A thunderous resonance of the Great Dao echoed in his mind and soul, as the outline of a cultivation method began to emerge in his consciousness.
But an outline alone proved inadequate; while still immersed in enlightenment, Lu Qing's mind processed with fervor.
Quickly, he derived the technique's intricate particulars, steadily fleshing out the framework.
Unsure of the elapsed time, once the last incantation was integrated, Lu Qing had fully devised and perfected a complete Tenth Tribulation cultivation method for the Primordial Spirit.
"Phew!"
With the method now forged, Lu Qing emerged from his enlightened state.
Releasing a protracted sigh, he sensed an intense weariness flooding his being.
Deducing the Tenth Tribulation of the Perfect Primordial Spirit was far from trivial.
Even in the deepest enlightenment, supported by superpowers, Lu Qing had drained a colossal portion of his mental energy to complete this tribulation's method.
To such an extent that, despite his solid groundwork, a profound exhaustion assailed his spirit, tempting him toward slumber.
Lu Qing yielded to this lethargy without resistance. After scanning his surroundings and detecting nothing amiss.
He issued a simple directive to "Yan" within the Leaving Fire Tripod, then surrendered to the drowsiness, slipping into profound repose to recuperate his mind and soul.
No one could say how long the sleep lasted. Upon rousing from it, Lu Qing felt utterly revitalized, his mind and soul back at their zenith.
"Yan, how much time has passed during my sleep this round?"
"A whole year, Master."
"An entire year asleep?"
Lu Qing expressed mild surprise at Yan’s reply.
To think that this deep slumber had stretched on for so long.
Evidently, the mental toll from deriving the Tenth Tribulation method exceeded his initial estimates.
Lu Qing examined his inner state.
Within the Forehead Acupoint, the Light of Wisdom he formed had noticeably faded.
To employ it once more, he would require further accumulations of comprehension to reignite its brilliance.
Nevertheless, with the Tenth Tribulation method now accomplished, the toughest hurdle had been cleared.
For the following two tribulations, aided by superpowers, they ought to pose lesser challenges.
His immediate goal was to meticulously test the viability of this Tenth Tribulation method.
Yet to cultivate it, he first needed to elevate his own level to the Perfect Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.
Lu Qing assessed his inner workings. During these years, he had devoted himself entirely to grasping various cultivation arts and deriving the Tenth Tribulation method.
As for actual cultivation progress, he had scarcely attended to it.
Though his realm had advanced somewhat via the method's passive flow, the gains were modest.
A considerable gap remained to the Nine Tribulations Minor Achievement, much less the Perfection stage.
Thus, his priority now lay in boosting his cultivation base to reach Perfect Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, then confirming the deduced Tenth Tribulation method's practicality.
"Progress should come steadily."
Lu Qing felt no rush; after all, he possessed ample Spirit Stones, with most of the superior ones from the Three Great Clans still largely unused.
These reserves could sustain his advances through the Tenth Tribulation and even the next two.
He wouldn't face Spirit Stone shortages until nearing the Unity Realm.
Therefore, instead of haste, Lu Qing ventured out to visit Little Yan and Little Li.
He seized the chance to mentor Qin Zheng and the others in their practice before settling his mind once more and retreating to the cultivation chamber.
Positioned in the lotus stance at the heart of the cultivation chamber, Lu Qing flicked his wrist, dispersing a bounty of top-grade Spirit Stones to form the Spirit Gathering Array.
With a mental command, he ignited the formation, allowing the dense, pristine spiritual energy to flood the chamber.
Lu Qing proceeded to circulate the cultivation method, absorbing the abundant spiritual energy, refining it, and bolstering his cultivation.
"Supreme Elder, we've uncovered something vital!"
In the Netherworld Palace, the black-robed elder arrived beaming with excitement before the white-haired senior.
"Oh? What find is that?"
The white-haired elder, immersed in meditation, lifted his lids.
"We may have located the hideout of that individual!"
"What are you saying?" A spark of divine glow lit the white-haired elder’s gaze, and he urged, "Tell me every detail right away!"
"Here's what happened: Recently, a Primordial Spirit Realm assassin from our Netherworld Palace undertook a killing assignment. Though successful, he was chased by the target's sect elder.
During his escape, he dove into a barren, expansive wilderness of mountains and woods.
This assassin excels in earth-based arts. To shake off the hunter, he burrowed far underground, seeking to conceal his presence with the Earth Vein Qi.
Deep in that terrain, he stumbled upon an immense formation network.
As per the assassin's account, these formations were crafted with masterful subtlety, blending seamlessly into the ground.
Absent a special Exotic Treasure for array detection, spotting them would have been out of the question.
Once the target's sect elder departed, he hurried back to inform us of the discovery."
"A massive formation array buried deep underground?"
At these words, the white-haired elder’s eyes gleamed with sudden intensity.
