"Mr. Chen, have you come to Observation Peak to comprehend the calligraphy of âTianshu Cityâ?" asked Senior Sister Ye.
"Indeed, Iâve heard that within the calligraphy lies the Sword Dao essence left by a Primordial Spirit Great Power. Iâve come to witness it for myself."
"Mr. Chenâs swordsmanship is divine, so comprehending this calligraphy may yield great rewards for you, perhaps even bestowing upon you the legendary Sword Dao inheritance," Senior Sister Ye couldnât help but say.
The purple-clothed youth and a few others recalled how Lu Qing had slain Li Motian with a single Sword Point and nodded in agreement.
With Lu Qingâs Sword Dao Cultivation, understanding the Sword Dao essence within these writings might indeed lead to something remarkable.
"Ye, your praise is too much," Lu Qing laughed, "For so many years, countless peerless geniuses have failed to obtain the inheritance within these writings. What worth do I have to claim such fortune?"
At this moment, an impatient voice suddenly rang out:
"You few youngsters, arenât you done being noisy? This is Observation Peak, a place to comprehend the calligraphy.
If you wish to continue your chatter, go elsewhere. Do not disturb others in their cultivation!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice to see a thin middle-aged man in a black robe with two wisps of black mustache.
He looked at them with an expression of indifference, his eyes full of impatience.
The other cultivators comprehending the calligraphy, disturbed, also turned their attention over.
To even be here at Observation Peak for comprehension, one must at least be a Golden Core Realm expert.
Suddenly being watched by so many powerful cultivators, even Senior Sister Ye, with her Golden Core Middle Realm level, felt quite pressured.
At this time, Lu Qing stepped forward and made a small bow.
"This friend rightly reprimands usâwe didnât realize our overstepping. We apologize for disturbing everyone, and ask for your forgiveness."
Seeing Lu Qingâs sincere attitude, the other cultivators let it slide and resumed their own comprehension of the writings.
Only that thin middle-aged man in black robes seemed still unsettled and continued to look coldly at Lu Qing and his group.
"Is there anything else, Senior?" Lu Qing asked.
"Hmph!" Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man in black merely snorted coldly, then closed his eyes.
Initially, he was irked by the excessive praise given to a mere Golden Core Third Transition youngster.
However, upon observing the insignias on Ye and the othersâ robes, realizing they were from the Qiankun Sect, he refrained from venting.
Though he paid no heed to these youngstersâ cultivation, the reputation of the Qiankun Sect was considerable.
Throughout several nearby continents, its power ranked among the top.
It was not a force he, as a Loose Cultivator Golden Core, could afford to provoke.
Seeing that the black-robed middle-aged man didnât make further trouble,
Lu Qing softly said to Senior Sister Ye and the others, "Everyone, letâs go over there so as not to disturb these seniorsâ comprehension."
Senior Sister Ye and the others promptly nodded.
The gazes earlier included formidable cultivators in the Late-stage Golden Core.
Should such powerful beings become angered, they would certainly be unable to resist.
Thus, they dared not speak further, following Lu Qing to a secluded corner on the platformâs edge.
"Everyone, letâs comprehend the calligraphy here," Lu Qing softly said.
"Alright."
Senior Sister Ye and the others all responded.
They had just arrived and hadnât yet begun to comprehend the calligraphy.
Thus, they each sat down cross-legged at the corner, facing the huge mountain with the three large engraved characters, and started their comprehension.
Lu Qing did the same, sitting down while holding Little Li.
However, unlike the others, he quietly activated his Superpower and gazed toward the three large characters.
As Lu Qing observed, it didnât take long for a dense Superpower Light to emerge from those three characters, and several pieces of information floated out.
[Dao Essence Calligraphy: The calligraphy personally inscribed by a Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit Great Power, containing Dao essence.]
[This calligraphy was inscribed forty thousand years ago by the Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit Great Power âSeven Star Child.â]
[Seven Star Child was the eighteenth City Lord of Tianshu City, remarkable in cultivation and adept in Sword Dao.]
[When the calligraphy was inscribed, âSeven Star Childâ had just broken through and exited seclusion. In his heartâs exhilaration, the Dao essence was inadvertently embedded within, persisting for tens of thousands of years.]
[Inheritance discovered, would you like to proceed with download simulation?]
...
After Lu Qing finished reading the information in his sight, he smiled.
Indeed, the Five Treasure Taoist wasnât wrongâthe calligraphy indeed contained the Sword Dao inheritance of the Five Tribulations Great Power.
However, contrary to common belief,
the âSeven Star Childâ senior hadnât intentionally left an inheritance.
It was merely in his heartâs exhilaration that his comprehension of Sword Dao unintentionally fused into the calligraphy.
This might also explain why, over the tens of thousands of years, no one had managed to obtain a complete inheritance from the writings.
After a moment of reflection, Lu Qing looked at the final piece of information and silently chose to download it.
[Download started, current progress, 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.]
[Download complete, would you like to proceed with simulation?]
Lu Qing directly chose to simulate.
[Simulation started, current progress, 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.]
[Simulation complete, would you like to begin learning?]
Lu Qing glanced around, seeing everyone quietly comprehending.
Silently, he transmitted his words to Little Liâs Divine Soul, asking it to protect him while he proceeded.
Little Li wasnât surprised; it had long predicted that Ah Qingâs comprehension could not be measured by common sense.
In comprehending these writings, he was sure to gain insight.
After instructing Little Li, Lu Qing then chose to learn.
In the next moment, a wealth of comprehension information surged from the depths of his mind.
Simultaneously, his consciousness turned black, entering a mysterious space.
When Lu Qing regained consciousness, he found himself floating in mid-air before a gigantic mountain.
The mountain closely resembled the one with the engraved âTianshu Cityâ characters.
However, at this moment, the cliff face of the mountain was flat, without any inscriptions.
Lu Qing sensed again and discovered he had become an old man wearing a starry robe, yet he couldnât control this body at all.
Instantly, he thought to himself, as expected.
He had once again entered an Illusion Realm, inhabiting the body of the Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit Great Power âSeven Star Childâ from tens of thousands of years ago.
"After a millennium of seclusion, I have finally gained insights and reached the Five Tribulations State. Today, let us celebrate with a great feast!"
In Lu Qingâs perception, âSeven Star Childâ gazed at the sky, his heart filled with joy.
"Congratulations, Master! Rejoice, Master, for you have overcome obstacles and successfully crossed the tribulation!"
From below came a harmonious chorus of congratulatory voices.
Lu Qing, using Divine Soul Sensing, could see that a peak below was lined with many individuals.
Each one exuded an extraordinary aura, at least being of the Golden Core Realm.
Of the few standing at the forefront, their auras were terrifying, far exceeding the Golden Core Realm level.
They were clearly all Primordial Spirit Realm Great Powers.
And the peak they stood upon, Lu Qing recognized it as the not-yet-abbreviated Observation Peak.
"Master, upon entering the Five Tribulations Domain, you have become a top-tier expert in this Heavenly Origin Great World.
Under your guidance, Tianshu City will surely achieve new heights of glory.
Even if we seize the entire Tianshu Divine Mountain, no one would dare to say anything!"
At this moment, a Primordial Spirit Realm disciple of âSeven Star Childâ spoke excitedly.
However, faced with his discipleâs excitement, âSeven Star Childâ sighed.
"What use is there in seizing Tianshu Divine Mountain?
After stepping into the Five Tribulations, Iâve come to understand the vastness of the cultivation path.
The Five Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit are but the starting point of the path of the Primordial Spirit.
And I have exhausted my potential; to walk further in the Primordial Spirit Realm has become arduous."
"Then we must seize Tianshu Divine Mountain even more!" the disciple urged anxiously, "The mountain is mysterious and holds incredible powers.
Ancient legends even say it was left by immortals.
If Master can occupy it, perhaps you will gain insight into its mysteries and achieve greater opportunities."
"You donât understand."
âSeven Star Childâ shook his head once more.
