I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1384 - 840:

It was evident that the initial tribulation thunder caused him absolutely no harm.

Witnessing this, although everyone present understood that the first strike could not thwart Lu Qing, they still couldn’t suppress the tremor in their hearts. After all, Lu Qing appeared completely unscathed, far too easily. It could only be concluded that he was an absolute anomaly beyond common comprehension, as even such a terrifying tribulation thunder failed to exert any pressure upon him.

"Just as anticipated, this Dao tribulation thunder functions as both a grueling test and a profound blessing."

With the first strike behind him, Lu Qing began to carefully savor the subtle changes taking root within his physical form. He had eschewed all Taoist skills and magical treasures, choosing instead to confront the first tribulation thunder with his raw physical body. Although the lightning, manifested by the power of the great path, was incredibly potent, it was merely the first wave and lacked the strength to truly burden him. The damage inflicted by the surge did not outpace his body’s natural regenerative speed; thus, the moment the lightning’s energy dissipated, he returned to his peak state.

However, this initial strike revealed a hidden mystery regarding the Dao tribulation thunder. Though dreadful, the baptism of such lightning served to nourish his body, bestowing greater strength upon him while imbuing his mana and primordial spirit with the aura of the Gold Path, striving to refine him into a pure Gold Body.

"So that is the truth. The Harmonization Tribulation serves to slowly fundamentally alter the crosser’s physical structure, primordial spirit, and mana throughout the ordeal. Success in mastering the tribulation, coupled with the recognition of the 'Dao', allows one to enter the Realm of Unity. The resulting Harmonization Body then crystallizes into a specialized Daoist Body."

Feeling these internal shifts, Lu Qing finally grasped why those who achieved the Realm of Unity found it so arduous to harmonize their Divine Thought with other great paths. Upon entering the Realm of Unity, their physical form, divine soul, and mana were locked to the specific aura of the path they had harmonized with. Naturally, any attempt to integrate their Divine Thought into conflicting paths faced intense rejection. Consequently, even for those with expansive realms and keen comprehension, mastering other laws rarely progressed beyond the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm; harmonizing with a secondary path was nearly impossible without monumental fortune. While these principles existed in ancient texts, only through direct experience did Lu Qing truly understand their depth.

"The Yin Yang Five Elements Gourd seems to have benefited significantly as well."

As he processed these truths, Lu Qing’s gaze drifted to the Yin Yang Five Elements Gourd housed within his body. The lightning had not only nourished his own form but had also etched a trace of Dao patterns into the artifact, strengthening its very essence. "The Yin Yang Five Elements Gourd is my Lifebound Magical Treasure; it share my existence, meaning my tribulation is, effectively, its own as well." A realization dawned upon him: if the gourd continued to refine in this manner, it might emerge from the tribulation as a top-grade Spiritual Artifact. The thought brought true delight. Should this transformation occur, it would undoubtedly surpass the Void Flying Boat and become his most formidable trump card.

"An unexpected joy, indeed," he mused, looking upward. "Come then, let us see how much more foundation this heavenly tribulation can provide."

Though this internal monologue seemed lengthy, it passed in a mere flicker of time while the clouds above began brewing the second strike. If onlookers could witness his inner thoughts, they would surely be left speechless. Throughout history, those facing the Harmonization Tribulation viewed the event as a viper, fearing its wrath and hoping for a weak trial. Only Lu Qing dared to treat these horrific manifestations as mere dietary supplements for his cultivation, yearning for greater intensity to solidify his foundation.

As if responding to his provocation, the vortex above gathered lightning with renewed haste. Ten breaths later, a reverberation shook the very stars, and the second golden Dao tribulation thunder struck. Rumble! The region of the sky surrounding Lu Qing once more devolved into a turbulent sea of lightning. The sheer destructive power caused the observing experts to lose their color. While they expected each successive strike to be more intense, the aura radiating from this second wave was enough to incite a primal fear that even their high cultivation states could not suppress.

"We have no way of knowing if he will be injured this time," they whispered, staring at the blinding abyss. Because of the destructive intensity of the second strike, hidden to even those in the Unity Realm, they could only wait for the dissipation of the lightning to gauge his state. Fortunately, the wait was brief. As the glow faded, Lu Qing remained standing, looking entirely unaffected as if the strike had been nothing more than a passing breeze.

"How is this possible!" Mo Cangtian cried out in disbelief. It was not that he found Lu Qing's survival shocking, but the fact that he emerged without a single scratch was utterly unacceptable. "How has this devil trained his physical body that even lightning formed from the great path cannot leave a mark?" The hook-nosed Elder and his companions shared his horrified look. When they had trapped Lu Qing within the Six Harmonies Heavenly Demon Array, the Dao power they summoned had certainly harmed him. Why, then, did the pure destruction of the tribulation thunder now seem useless? A sense of unease gnawed at them—if this devil walked through the Realm of Unity unscathed, how could they ever hope to kill him?

"Indeed, with each passing thunder, the inherent power of the great path grows stronger," Lu Qing noted, sensing his internal state. The golden Dao patterns on his Yin Yang Five Elements Gourd were becoming more vibrant and complete. His theory was holding true. Once again, he looked expectantly toward the vortex: "Come. As long as more Dao power descends, the Yin Yang Five Elements Gourd will continue its evolution."

Promptly, the third strike descended. However, this time, the surges of power were so immense they finally broke through his limit of physical regeneration. When the sea of lightning finally receded, the onlookers saw Lu Qing standing with numerous wounds that were only just beginning to mend. A wave of exhilaration washed over Mo Cangtian and the others. "Excellent! He has finally been wounded. He is not invincible—there is still hope!"
