I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1479 - 880:
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
The Black Bull recollected its past experiences.
It had not cultivated the Law; its focus was solely on the Physical Body, forging a unique path.
There was no need for it to harmonize with the Great Dao, only to push its body refinement to the absolute extreme, aiming to prove the Dao through sheer strength.
Though this approach diverged, the perils involved were no less than those faced in ordinary Harmonization.
During its intense body refining, wounds were a constant companion, blood flowed freely, and on multiple occasions, it teetered on the brink of demise.
The Old Cyan Dragon fared slightly better, its journey not as fraught with hardship, yet its breakthroughs were similarly hard-won.
Furthermore, it had served Gui Xu Taoist for many years, bearing witness to innumerable cultivators who faltered in their quest for Harmonization.
These failures resulted in some exploding on the spot, others suffering a collapse of their Divine Thought, rendering them simpletons, and still others being annihilated by the Great Dao, turning to dust.
Each instance served as a stark, living cautionary tale.
Thus, none understood the profound difficulty of advancing from Primordial Spirit to Harmonization better than they did.
And then there was Lu Qing?
When he departed the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, his cultivation was merely at the Six Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.
How much time had elapsed since then? Not even a century!
In less than a hundred years, to ascend from Six Tribulations of Primordial Spirit to the Unity Realm Stage—what did this signify?
It could not be adequately encapsulated by the term 'talent.'
This was nothing short of monstrous!
The Black Bull’s round eyes widened, its mouth opening as if to speak, only to find itself speechless.
Its cognitive functions were not particularly sharp to begin with, and at this moment, they were utterly overwhelmed.
Ming Feng, too, lost its characteristic grace, its phoenix eyes brimming with astonishment, its wings involuntarily pulling closer.
Its noble bearing had vanished entirely, replaced by an expression of sheer disbelief.
The Old Cyan Dragon drew a deep breath, the shock in its heart momentarily subdued, and then slowly voiced its query: "Ah Qing, how... how did you achieve this? In under a century, progressing from Six Tribulations of Primordial Spirit to the Unity Realm Stage, this..."
It paused, seemingly searching for words, before finally managing to articulate, "This entirely surpasses our comprehension."
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, it had witnessed countless prodigies.
Some reached the Golden Core stage within a hundred years, others attained the Primordial Spirit realm in a millennium, and a select few achieved Harmonization in ten thousand years.
Each of these feats was enough to elicit widespread awe.
Lu Qing’s case, however, was unprecedented in its experience.
Less than a century from Six Tribulations of Primordial Spirit to the Unity Realm Stage.
What did this imply?
It meant Lu Qing’s cultivation speed was a hundredfold, perhaps even a thousandfold, faster than that of typical cultivators!
It meant Lu Qing had traversed in mere decades a path that others would require thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years to complete!
This defied all logic, shattering all imagination.
Lu Qing merely shook his head, offering no detailed explanation.
He certainly wouldn't reveal that he had shattered the limit of the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, reaching an unprecedented and unknown Twelve Tribulations!
This secret, for the time being, he preferred to keep to himself.
Should the Old Cyan Dragon and the others discover not only that he achieved Harmonization but reached the Twelve Tribulations level prior to his breakthrough, their shock would likely be immeasurable.
The Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit was already universally recognized as the ceiling in the Cultivation World.
Nine, being the ultimate number, was dictated by the rules of Heaven and Earth.
No one had ever breached this limit to reach the Twelfth Tribulation.
Yet, Lu Qing had done precisely that.
Through his comprehension and opportune moments, he had forcefully fractured the limitations imposed by the Great Dao, taking three additional steps within the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Each of these three steps was entirely unprecedented.
Such transgressions against reason, when spoken aloud, would only invite complications, let alone be readily accepted by the Old Cyan Dragon and its companions.
Therefore, Lu Qing simply offered a smile, remaining silent.
At this juncture, the Black Bull suddenly inquired, "Ah Qing, with which Great Dao did you harmonize?"
Its round eyes were alight with curiosity, tinged with a degree of anticipation.
In the Black Bull's estimation, Lu Qing's aura was so formidable, capable of exerting such immense pressure upon them. The Divine Thought it had harmonized with during its breakthrough must surely be the Great Dao, and undoubtedly a highly potent one, not some commonplace 'Dao.'
After all, Harmonization entails aligning with the Dao.
Within the Primordial Spirit Realm, cultivators endeavor to comprehend the Rules of Heaven and Earth, grasping various Daos.
The potency and depth of these Daos vary significantly.
Some Daos trace directly back to the origin, vast and boundless in scope, while others are merely superficial and shallow.
Upon reaching the point of breakthrough, cultivators are compelled to select a single Dao, harmonize their Divine Thought with it, and thereby ascend to the Unity Realm Stage.
The more powerful the harmonized Dao, the greater the strength manifested after the breakthrough.
It was common knowledge throughout the Cultivation World.
Aligning with a regular, minor Dao would result in an ordinary Unity Realm Stage post-breakthrough, possessing limited power.
However, harmonizing with a Great Dao would yield a true powerhouse, capable of crushing opponents of the same rank.
And if one were to harmonize with a supreme Great Dao that led directly to the origin...
Then, their future achievements would be truly beyond measure.
Thus, the Black Bull was intensely curious about which Dao Lu Qing had harmonized with, to become so exceptionally formidable immediately after his breakthrough.
Upon hearing the question, the Old Cyan Dragon and Ming Feng also fixed their gaze upon Lu Qing, their eyes brimming with anticipation and deep curiosity.
They too were incredibly eager to uncover the answer.
Witnessing their expectant stares, Lu Qing found the situation rather amusing.
Their gazes reminded him of a group of children eagerly awaiting a captivating story, their faces alight with keen anticipation and boundless curiosity.
Even the Old Cyan Dragon, a being who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, displayed such an expression at this very moment.
He decided not to prolong their suspense and gently stirred his thoughts.
In the very next instant, an extraordinary aura emanated from his being.
This aura was infinitely profound, appearing to encapsulate the universe's ultimate enigmas.
It was vast, enduring, and awe-inspiring, evoking a sense of reverence in all who beheld it.
Even more astonishingly, within this aura, a multitude of divergent meanings simultaneously revealed themselves.
