Even the Five Tribulation Demon King, in terms of the power of upgrading, cannot compare to him.
Though the dead Tribulation Qi continuously wears down Lu Qingâs physical body and Primordial Spirit, backed by the powerful vitality within him, his regeneration speed is even faster.
Thus, Lu Qing appeared terrifying, seemingly on the verge of decay and death at any moment.
In reality, his foundation wasnât significantly damaged.
One hour passed this way, and the massive dead Tribulation Qi began to slowly dissipate, while the vitality within Lu Qing remained overwhelmingly abundant.
Eventually, as the last trace of Tribulation Qi retreated, it symbolized Lu Qingâs first Primordial Spirit Tribulation was safely completed without danger.
The moment he crossed the tribulation, the power of the Great Way within Lu Qing underwent yet another transformation.
A vast amount of energy, imbued with the essence of Tao, emerged from the void, engulfing Lu Qingâs body.
Immediately, Lu Qing felt his physical body, mana, and Primordial Spirit all beginning to transform.
After a long while, as the power of the Great Way gradually faded away.
Lu Qing sensed that his physical body, mana, and Primordial Spirit had all strengthened considerably, his power surging once more.
"Excellent, with my current strength, even without resorting to Divine Skills or the True Witch body, merely using ordinary Taoist Skills, few Five Tribulation Primordial Spirits could rival me."
Lu Qing sensed the changes in his power, a satisfied smile appeared.
This is the advantage of having a deep foundation.
Each breakthrough results in a surge in power, instantly leaving those enemies who could once rival him behind, incapable of posing any threats anymore.
"However, in the Primordial Spirit realm, before and after the Five Tribulations are two different worlds, power is not the only measure of strength, carelessness cannot be afforded."
Although this breakthrough led to a surge in Lu Qingâs power, he secretly reminded himself not to become arrogant because of it.
The Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, the first five mostly belong to growth in power.
Whenever a tribulation is crossed, a cultivatorâs power and longevity significantly increase.
But after the Five Tribulations, things change.
With each tribulation crossed, besides the growth in power and longevity, a cultivator also gains some extraordinary abilities.
For instance, the mysterious ability to control the Space Law is one example.
Some abilities are granted by a cultivatorâs talent and the cultivation technique practiced.
In short, every Primordial Spirit Great Power after Five Tribulations is a rarity among men, extremely difficult to deal with.
Even though Lu Qing presently possessed unrivaled strength and many trump cards, when facing opponents of that level, caution is necessary.
Of course, these thoughts are just Lu Qingâs self-reminders.
Currently, he resides in his hometown world, extremely remote, hard to find.
Across the world, apart from him, there are no other Primordial Spirit realms.
Thus, no one can pose any threat to him at all.
These are just precautions Lu Qing takes, reminding himself of the truth that beyond the mountains, there are higher ones.
"Yet, safety issues need not be worried, but the deduction of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique cannot be delayed any longer."
After a moment of reflection, Lu Qing began to ponder another matter.
Thatâs regarding the subsequent deduction of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique.
Back in the Witch Clanâs Trial Secret Realm, although he smoothly deduced the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique.
Due to time constraints, he only deduced the first tribulationâs technique.
The subsequent techniques remained undeduced due to lack of time.
Now that he has crossed the first Primordial Spirit Tribulation, the deduction of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Techniqueâs subsequent techniques is imminent.
Otherwise, given his cultivation speed, he will soon face a situation where there is no technique to cultivate.
"Just in time, the level of two Divine Skills has been upgraded, the coming days should be focused on deducing the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique."
Lu Qing finally decided in his heart.
However, he didnât rush to start deducing the technique immediately but planned to rest for a while before retreating again.
This time in comprehending the Illusion Path, upgrading the rank of Mistakenâs Divine Skills took a full two years, exceeding his expectations.
Plus, having just crossed the Primordial Spirit Tribulation.
Thus, he decided to relax his heart and spirit before beginning the next retreat.
Getting up to leave the quiet room, Lu Qing saw Little Li crouching outside the door, watching anxiously in this direction, its tail swaying uneasily.
Upon seeing Lu Qing come out, its eyes immediately brightened, and it jumped up to him.
"Ah Qing, youâve come out, what was that just now?"
It turns out Little Li sensed the fearsome power of the Great Way and the chilling dead Tribulation Qi during Lu Qingâs tribulation earlier, worriedly coming to await outside Lu Qingâs retreat room.
Now seeing him emerged, it was relieved and promptly asked.
"Just now, my cultivation made a breakthrough, causing changes in the Heaven and Earth Rules, what, were you scared?"
Lu Qing reached out to stroke the fur on Little Li, comforting him.
But upon hearing his words, Little Liâs eyes widened.
"Cultivation breakthrough! Ah Qing, were you crossing the Primordial Spirit Tribulation just now?"
"Yes, Iâve just crossed the first Primordial Spirit Tribulation."
Lu Qing nodded slightly, not denying.
"So quickly crossing the first Primordial Spirit Tribulation..."
Little Li was somewhat dumbfounded.
Although it always knew Ah Qingâs cultivation speed was extremely fast, it was still shocked.
After all, how many years have passed since Lu Qing last crossed the tribulation and achieved the Primordial Spirit?
Even it hasnât broken through to step into the Seventh Transition of Golden Core.
Yet, Ah Qing has already crossed the first Primordial Spirit Tribulation and become a First Tribulation Great Power?
Little Li felt quite incredulous, how could it seem that after entering the Primordial Spirit realm, Ah Qingâs cultivation speed not only hasnât slowed down but instead has accelerated?
This is unbearable!
"Ah Qing, now that youâre out of retreat?"
After a while, Little Li finally came to its senses and asked.
"Yes, weâve been in retreat for over two years here, Little Yan probably misses us, weâll return home for a while."
"Indeed, itâs been so long, if we donât return soon, Little Yan will start complaining again."
Little Li also nodded repeatedly.
But it secretly decided, once back home, it needs to train even harder.
Otherwise, the gap between it and Ah Qing will truly keep widening.
At the very least, it should quickly step into the Seventh Transition of Golden Core.
Lu Qing took Little Li away from the Jade Cave, returning to the village.
Two years have passed, the village remains as peaceful as before, without any major changes.
Little Yan and Han Lingshuang were very happy to see Lu Qing back.
Though during these two-plus years, they had mostly been in retreat, not feeling much of the passing of time.
Seeing Lu Qing come out of retreat, however, still delighted them greatly.
Lu Qing noticed after two years, Little Yan and Han Lingshuangâs cultivation had made substantial progress.
Little Yanâs cultivation had reached the peak of the Sixth Transition of Golden Core, just one step away from the Seventh Transition realm.
Han Lingshuangâs realm had reached the peak of the Third Transition of Golden Core, probably not long before breaking through to the Fourth Transition.
After all, the elixirs Lu Qing had given them back then werenât ordinary ones.
Take any random pill out there, and it would have cultivators in the Golden Core realm fighting over it.
Even in the Heavenly Origin Great World, they could be sold as excellent spirit pills for many spirit stones.
Thankfully Little Yan and the others listened to Lu Qingâs advice, not overly relying on the power of elixirs.
Otherwise, their cultivation might not even be as stable as it is now.
Understanding this, Lu Qing felt somewhat satisfied.
This demonstrates that Little Yan and the others possess enough restraint in cultivation, and his crafted elixirs werenât wasted.
After returning to the village, Lu Qingâs life became leisurely again, fishing daily and spending time with Little Yan and the others while relaxing his heart and spirit.
After more than ten days, he retreated again, starting to deduce the subsequent techniques of the Perfected Primordial Spirit Technique.
