I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1387 - 842: Greed

Viewing the cyan lightning that flickered within the tribulation clouds, one could sense a Dao charm that was entirely distinct from the Gold Path. All the gathered experts gaped in astonishment, their faces paralyzed by shock. None of them had anticipated that Lu Qing’s heavenly tribulation would manifest the Dao charm of a second Great Path.

"How is this possible? Why would the Harmonization Tribulation display the might of a secondary Great Path?!" Mo Cangtian stared at the cyan lightning, his features twisted in disbelief. He could hardly fail to recognize the telltale essence of the Wood Path.

Yet, in ancient times, the Harmonization Tribulation had strictly featured only a single Great Path. Why, then, would this Devil’s tribulation reveal two? The hooked-nose elder and his peers were equally bewildered. The spectacle before them exceeded the boundaries of their collective knowledge; they could find no mention of such an event in any historical records.

"Two Great Paths?" Even the white-haired elder, who supposedly held certain arcane secrets, was stunned. He had assumed that any escalation in Lu Qing’s tribulation would merely involve breaking the limit of nine by manifesting additional strikes. It never crossed his mind that Lu Qing would simultaneously invite heavenly tribulations from multiple Great Paths.

"Could it be that his anomaly allows him to shatter the restrictive rule of fusing only one ’Dao’ upon reaching the Unity Realm Stage, permitting him to merge several Great Paths instead?" The white-haired elder trembled at the thought. If true, the repercussions would be seismic, likely causing the entire starry sky to tremble. Strong individuals from distant Immortal Domains would undoubtedly flock here to uncover his mysteries.

In essence, Lu Qing would become the focal point of the entire galaxy, sought after by every expert in the Unity Realm Stage. However, the white-haired elder gazed up at the restless clouds with an unreadable expression. Even if those powerhouses were aware of this, it might ultimately be irrelevant.

Lu Qing had already begun the process. Provided he navigated this tribulation and completed his harmonization, he would cement himself as one of the most formidable Great Powers of Harmony among the stars. At that point, he would have no reason to fear the greed of others. If he failed, however, his spirit would be extinguished, rendering everything moot. Thus, from the moment the tribulation began, his fate was already sealed.

Lu Qing remained indifferent to the minor maneuvers of Mo Cangtian and his company. He was entirely consumed by his own process. After weathering the nine tribulation thunders of the Gold Path, the power of the Great Path surged within him, reaching an absurd level of density. It felt as though his physique was physically transmuting into a Gold Body.

He sensed that the Gold Path within the Sea of Laws had offered its full recognition. At any moment, he could merge his Divine Thought with it to ascend to the Unity Realm Stage. Yet, Lu Qing held back. His intended infusion would not be limited to the Gold Path alone; to settle for a mere Gold Body now would be a wasted opportunity. Fortunately, he had foreseen this.

With a thought, he compressed the overwhelming power of the Great Path into a singular Dao Seal, imprinting it deep within his being. Following this, he cast his attention toward the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd. A complete golden seal manifested upon the Lifebound Magical Treasure, radiating waves of profound Dao charm. More significantly, Lu Qing felt the inherent essence of the gourd significantly enhanced, rapidly advancing toward Top-grade Spiritual Artifact status.

"It appears this tribulation will ensure the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd reaches Top-grade Spiritual Artifact level without issue," Lu Qing thought with satisfaction. He then directed his gaze toward the clouds above. He produced a Top-grade Spirit Stone, absorbing its spiritual essence to mend his wounds. The final ninth tribulation thunder had inflicted non-trivial damage, but as his body was nourished by the power of the Gold Path, it began to transcend its previous boundaries.

His recovery rate quickened significantly. As the Top-grade Spirit Stone crumbled into dust within his grip, his energy was restored to its peak. Above him, the Wood Path tribulation lightning finished brewing, crashing down in a thunderous deluge that completely engulfed him. The starry sky was once more transformed into a churning sea of electricity.

Unlike the razor-sharp intensity of the Gold Path, the Wood Path lightning felt suffocatingly stagnant. It seemed to hunger for the vitality of the world, chilling the distant observers to the bone. Lu Qing, however, was experiencing this tempering firsthand. The lightning swirled around him like a predatory beast, seeking to strip him of his life force. Had he not firmly anchored his Divine Thought and guarded his spirit, his essence might have been drained dry in an instant.

"Indeed, the Wood Path represents life, yet in tribulation form, it reflects the withering of all things, seeking to extinguish all vitality," Lu Qing observed, gaining profound insight as the lightning gnawed at him. "If you intend to feed on my life, let us see whose devouring strength is superior."

With a singular focus, an intense devouring force erupted within him, beginning to consume the lightning itself. He had activated the technique of the Undying Heavenly Witch Body to feast upon the Wood Tribulation Lightning! Though his body was originally unable to ingest energy imbued with the power of the Great Path, his physical evolution during the Gold Tribulation had granted him nascent traits of a Harmonization Body, allowing him to absorb Dao Power attacks.

The lightning surged through his veins, initially ravaging his vitality, but as he cycled his cultivation technique, he refined the energy into his own strength. Throughout this grueling exchange, his internal power steadily climbed. When the tribulation finally dissipated, Lu Qing stood unscathed, having refined much of the lightning into more potent base power.

"According to the records of the Undying Heavenly Witch Body, ancient, formidable tribulation beasts once grew strong by consuming the very trials meant to destroy them. It seems I am following in their wake." Satisfaction washed over him. He looked up at the remaining tribulation clouds, a flicker of ambition and greed lighting his eyes.
