Chapter 732: The Strongest Trump Card
Lu Qing stared at the objects before him—or rather, at the shimmering light barriers of restrictive power enveloping them—his eyes gleaming with understanding.
After breaking through yet another restriction barrier, he had gained new insights into the Xuan Yuan Restriction.
He immediately realized that the true value of this secluded side hall had not yet been fully unearthed.
In fact, these restriction barriers themselves were his greatest opportunity.
The Xuan Yuan Restriction was a supreme restrictive art created by the Daoist of Transcendence.
If one could master this supreme restrictive art, then in this Gui Xu Secret Realm—a place filled with countless restrictions—one would be like a fish returned to water.
By then, even when facing all those powerful cultivators outside, he would finally have a true means of survival.
However, mastering the Xuan Yuan Restriction was no easy task.
After two rounds of downloading and enlightenment, Lu Qing had already come to a realization: every restriction within this secret realm contained fragments of the Xuan Yuan Restriction’s inheritance.
At the moment, he had no way to wander around freely downloading all the inheritances to completely master it.
But he could still download all the fragmented inheritances hidden within this small hall.
Over the next day, Lu Qing moved through every corner of the side hall, carefully downloading all the inheritance data hidden within each light barrier.
During this time, a few cultivators happened to pass nearby.
Yet because of the restrictions shrouding the hall, none of them noticed Lu Qing’s presence within. None wished to waste time exploring such a remote palace either.
As such, he was not disturbed. Once he had downloaded all the restrictive inheritances within the hall, he sat cross-legged in the center of the main chamber and began to comprehend the simulated transmissions he had acquired.
As he entered meditation, torrents of insight surged within his mind.
The entire palace once again fell silent.
Days later, Lu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
The gleam of enlightenment still lingered in his gaze, but joy had already surfaced upon his face.
“So that’s how it is. The complete Xuan Yuan Restriction is formed from one hundred thousand minor restrictions, three thousand medium restrictions, and one hundred and eight grand restrictions.
“The countless trinkets and stones scattered across the secret realm are all protected by those one hundred thousand minor restrictions.
“The side palaces surrounding the outer perimeter of the Immortal Palace each contain one medium restriction.
“And as for the Immortal Palace’s main structure—it is sealed by one hundred and eight grand restrictions.”
Lu Qing couldn’t help but be awed.
After fully comprehending the restrictive inheritances within the small hall, countless realizations had converged into a single, coherent method that floated clearly within his mind.
At the same time, hidden information embedded in the transmission had also been decoded.
Only then did he understand the truth—
Why the Gui Xu Secret Realm was filled with restrictions everywhere.
It turned out that the true, complete Xuan Yuan Restriction was formed by all the restrictions across the entire realm combined!
“One hundred thousand minor restrictions, each with the strength of a Golden Core cultivator.
Three thousand medium restrictions, each equivalent to a Nascent Soul expert.
And the one hundred and eight grand restrictions—all possessing power beyond the Nascent Soul Realm.
“All together, these countless restrictions form a colossal restrictive array—that is the true Xuan Yuan Restriction, the Daoist of Transcendence’s proudest creation.”
Lu Qing was shaken to the core.
His earlier guesses had been correct.
One of the greatest opportunities within the Gui Xu Secret Realm was hidden within these omnipresent restrictions.
If he could learn the complete Xuan Yuan Restriction, his harvest from this journey would be beyond measure.
Quickly forming hand seals, countless runes condensed before him, merging into a tiny restriction that floated between his palms.
Though it was small, the aura it emitted was identical to that of the barrier surrounding the hall.
Their essence was one and the same—the only difference was in power.
“The Dao of Restrictions, though profound, is essentially the same as the Dao of Formations. Both are derived from the Path of Runes. In truth, restrictions are but a specialized branch of formation arts.”
As he felt the subtle fluctuations of the restriction in his hands, countless new insights arose within Lu Qing’s mind.
He was already a grandmaster in formations, with deep comprehension of the Path of Runes.
Now, with the inheritance of a medium-grade restriction from the Xuan Yuan Restriction, the fusion of his accumulated understanding and this new knowledge sparked endless revelations.
“Each medium restriction is in fact composed of many minor restrictions.
“That means I don’t need to download every single light barrier across the secret realm.
“As long as I can comprehend the three thousand medium restrictions covering each side hall, I’ll naturally be able to deduce all the minor ones.”
For anyone else, learning the Xuan Yuan Restriction would require starting from the minor restrictions and slowly building up.
But Lu Qing was different. As a formation grandmaster with deep understanding of runes—and aided by his unique Spiritual Powers—he could begin directly with the medium restrictions.
The grand restrictions, however, belonged to a realm beyond the Nascent Soul and were still far beyond his reach.
“Still, mastering all three thousand medium restrictions will take quite some time. I must act quickly.”
Lu Qing had no idea how long the Gui Xu Secret Realm would remain open.
He had to hurry.
With every additional restriction he mastered, his grasp of the Xuan Yuan Restriction would grow stronger.
In fact, if he could learn enough medium restrictions, even without downloading them all, he could deduce the remaining portions himself.
After all, myriad variations still stem from the same source.
With his extraordinary comprehension and his Spiritual Powers, he might even create a unique divine technique of his own.
Having made up his mind, Lu Qing instructed Xiao Li to return to the Li Huo Cauldron, then stepped out of the small hall.
The barrier light flickered as he passed through it.
Standing outside once more, Lu Qing felt far calmer than before.
Now that he had mastered a medium restriction, he could not only conceal his presence flawlessly, but also draw upon a faint trace of the surrounding restrictive power.
Though weak and unsuitable for combat, this trace of energy allowed him to sense nearby disturbances in advance.
With that, others would find it even harder to detect him.
And if all went well, the more restrictions he mastered, the greater the restrictive power he could command.
By then, this would become his strongest trump card within the Gui Xu Secret Realm.
Gazing at the rows of palaces ahead, Lu Qing’s eyes shone with determination.
