I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1383 - 840:

"Mr. Lu has selected the Gold Path?" The lady draped in white displayed signs of perplexity.

"The Gold Path? Why would he ever choose such a path?" The elderly man with the white mane shared that same profound astonishment.

Witnessing the golden arcs of lightning dancing within the storm clouds, the gathered elites in the realm of Cultivation were struck with immense surprise.

Even the demonic figures hailing from the Black and White Temple, like Mo Cangtian and his cohorts, were equally unsettled.

None of these observers had anticipated that Lu Qing would opt for the Gold Path to achieve Harmonization.

Certainly, this is not to imply that the Gold Path is insignificant or weak.

To the contrary, as a fundamental component of the Five Elements Path, the potency inherent in the Gold Path is staggering.

This path prioritizes pure lethality, and for any practitioner who manages to harmonize with it and ascend into the Unity Realm, their offensive prowess becomes essentially peerless.

If any other Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator were to comprehend such a path, they would be hailed as a legendary prodigy, a being so rare they might not appear once in every thousand years across the entire cosmos.

Yet, regarding Lu Qing, everyone felt a strange sensation that the Gold Path seemed to somehow fall short of his true potential.

Even Mo Cangtian and the elderly man with the hooked nose harbored these identical thoughts.

They found it unfathomable as to why Lu Qing would settle for the Gold Path.

After all, the most lasting impression Lu Qing ever left upon them was his monstrously resilient physical form.

Although the Gold Path is undeniably powerful, it offers little synergy with the distinct path of body refinement.

However, once the initial shock subsided, Mo Cangtian and his companions felt a surge of triumph.

"Very well, if he is merely sticking to the Gold Path, he should be far easier to handle."

"Indeed, the Gold Path is formidable, but it is certainly not invincible."

"Should he harmonize with the Gold Path, even if he manages to weather this tribulation, his strength will remain within manageable limits, leaving us ample opportunity to execute him!"

Gazing at the flickers of golden lightning within the churning clouds, Mo Cangtian and the others exhaled in relief.

They had genuinely feared that Lu Qing would select an infinitely more treacherous path to challenge. If it is only the Gold Path, then the situation remains under their control.

As for the musings of these other cultivators, Lu Qing had no capacity for such trivialities at this critical juncture.

He cast his gaze toward the gathering lightning, pushing his inner aura to its absolute zenith.

Finally, as the energy within the tribulation cloud reached its peak, a soul-shaking tremor resonated throughout the region, and a colossal bolt of tribulation thunder erupted, plummeting directly toward the spot where Lu Qing stood.

Boom!

In a fleeting moment, Lu Qing was utterly consumed by the massive surge of tribulation thunder.

The expansive starry firmament was transformed into a chaotic ocean of electricity.

As the thunder descended, the expressions of every watching cultivator shifted dramatically.

The sheer magnitude of this tribulation thunder was simply too overwhelming.

"Is the very first strike of the tribulation truly this monstrous?"

The Charming Beauty from the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal looked momentarily stunned.

As the thunder struck, even from such a great distance, she felt a piercing, destructive intent that seemed to stab directly at her heart and spirit.

It evoked the same icy tremor she had experienced while facing the final strike of her own Harmonization Tribulation.

Back then, when weathering the final bolt, she had nearly succumbed to the pressure.

Had it not been for a precious Exotic Treasure from her Sect protecting the final vestiges of her mental clarity, she would likely have been ground into dust long ago, perishing during her Heavenly Tribulation.

This memory haunted her; even after achieving the status of a Great Power of the Unity Realm, the recollection of that tribulation still caused her to experience lingering fear.

Now, witnessing Lu Qing’s tribulation thunder, that buried fear surged to the surface once again.

If the very first strike possessed such terrifying power, one could only imagine the horrific nature of the bolts that would surely follow.

The complexions of the other cultivators also turned ghastly pale.

They, too, reflected on their personal Harmonization Tribulations.

They soon realized that, compared to Lu Qing’s opening strike, even the most intense tribulation thunders they had endured seemed pathetic in comparison.

"So this is the reality of a path-level Harmonization Tribulation; it is truly terrifying."

After the panic subsided, the old man sighed, though a sense of relief lingered in his heart.

In his youth, he had taken great pride in his extraordinary talent, yet when the time came for his own Harmonization, his Divine Thought, while robust, never reached the path-level threshold.

For many years, he convinced himself that his failure to comprehend the Taoist Law and master Harmonization resulted from a lack of opportunity rather than a lack of innate talent.

He believed that had he only possessed a Supreme Technique back then, he too would have achieved a path-level Harmonization.

But now, feeling the sheer dread of Lu Qing's initial tribulation thunder, he finally understood.

This was never a Heavenly Tribulation he was meant to survive.

With his current strength, the very first strike would be enough to obliterate him completely.

"Can this Devil truly survive such a horrifying tribulation?" Mo Cangtian could not help but mutter.

"It would be far better if he could not. Should he perish beneath the weight of the Heavenly Tribulation, it would spare us a mountain of trouble," the hook-nosed old man stated with chilling indifference.

He harbored an inkling that something was slightly off; logically, even in a path-level Heavenly Tribulation, the inaugural strike should not be this devastating.

Was it because the Devil's potential was so abnormal that it forced his Heavenly Tribulation to exceed the typical path-level intensity? Regardless, it was positive news for their interests.

He desperately hoped for Lu Qing’s Heavenly Tribulation to intensify to the limit, ideally snuffing out the Devil's life and purging the Black and White Temple of this dire menace once and for all.

However, the expectations of the hook-nosed old man were destined to be thwarted.

As the energy from the opening volley exhausted itself, the vast sea of lightning gradually thinned, eventually unveiling Lu Qing’s standing figure.

They witnessed Lu Qing, in that very moment, appearing completely untouched, with not even a single strand of hair out of place.
