Chapter 751: Each With Their Own Calculations, Five Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit
Tao Fairy’s sudden withdrawal was something none of the people present had expected.
With the encirclement of the magical artifacts gone, Qing Xi’s figure appeared once more.
The moment she saw Yu Jian and Mo Tushan facing off, she didn’t hesitate in the slightest. Sword light flared, and she slashed at Mo Tushan with a single strike.
“Damn bitch!”
Mo Tushan’s expression changed. He retreated as well, dodging the sword light, then swept toward the teleportation formation.
The sword shadow behind Yu Jian’s back made him understand that the other party also possessed a powerful spiritual artifact, one not much weaker than his Nine Abysses Demonic Tower.
If they fought head-on, even if he could kill Mo Tushan, he would definitely suffer heavy injuries himself.
And with Qing Xi now free, if the two joined forces, even he would have a hard time holding them off.
More importantly, if he were injured too badly and couldn’t recover in time, then clearing this fifth stage would not be easy at all.
As thoughts raced, Mo Tushan’s intent to retreat only grew stronger.
He swung out a demonic qi giant palm, blocking the successive sword lights Qing Xi chopped out. Then, without looking back, his figure vanished into the teleportation formation, returning to the Flesh-Body Trial passage.
“Trying to run?”
Qing Xi’s brows shot up. She was about to chase with her sword when Yu Jian called out to stop her. “Junior Sister Qing Xi, wait! Don’t chase a cornered enemy—be careful there’s an ambush.”
As he spoke, his aura had already dropped drastically, and the massive sword shadow behind him shattered along with it.
“Senior Brother Yu Jian!”
Qing Xi startled and hurried to his side.
Seeing the pallor on Yu Jian’s face and how much weaker his aura had become, she finally realized that he had only been forcing himself to hold on—he was already at his limit.
“Senior Brother Yu Jian, it’s my fault. I was careless for a moment. If you hadn’t helped me block that palm, you wouldn’t have been caught by Mo Tushan’s sneak attack.”
Her face was full of apology. She quickly took out healing pills from her storage artifact and prepared to feed them to him.
Earlier, the instant they arrived at the fifth stage, they’d been ambushed by Mo Tushan and Tao Fairy.
If Yu Jian hadn’t reacted quickly, the one gravely injured right now would have been her.
“This isn’t on you.” After swallowing the pill, Yu Jian shook his head. “We were careless too. I didn’t expect Mo Tushan to join hands with Tao Fairy. The Enchantress Pavilion’s secret arts really are extraordinary—none of us noticed their aura right away.”
What Yu Jian hadn’t expected even more was that Mo Tushan and Tao Fairy had cleared the stage so quickly and set up an ambush in advance.
He had no idea what kind of hidden reserves they had used.
“That demoness Tao Fairy—sooner or later I’ll make her pay her blood debt in blood!” Qing Xi gritted her teeth.
Without that demoness’s help, how would Mo Tushan alone have dared to ambush the two of them?
“In any case, we were careless.” Yu Jian let out a sigh.
The dossiers left behind by their patriarch had warned them many times, yet they still almost got killed in an ambush.
They truly had been far too complacent.
Qing Xi fell silent.
She hadn’t expected Mo Tushan and that peach demoness to work together either. Before entering the secret realm, that demoness had clearly been closer to Hei Ming.
After a while, Qing Xi asked, “Senior Brother Yu Jian, how long will you need to recover?”
“My injuries are serious this time, but with your pill’s help, at most ten days, I should be completely recovered.”
“Ten days… The time limit for this stage is one year, so you’ll still have time to clear it.”
Only then did Qing Xi finally let out a breath of relief.
“Then for these ten days, I’ll have to trouble Junior Sister Qing Xi to protect me.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I absolutely won’t let anyone disturb you!” Qing Xi said firmly.
Yu Jian nodded slightly. Then he took out an array disk, deployed it to protect himself, and began circulating his cultivation to heal.
As for Qing Xi, she restrained her aura and lay in ambush nearby, staring fixedly at the seven teleportation formations on the ground.
If anyone appeared, they would immediately be met with her storm-like assault.
At this point, Qing Xi no longer cared whether she might accidentally injure someone.
Besides, at a time like this, anyone using the teleportation formations to head to another trial passage—what they were thinking was obvious without saying.
She didn’t dare take that risk again.
…
“Damn bitch!”
While Qing Xi stood guard for Yu Jian, on the other side in the Flesh-Body Trial passage, Mo Tushan was furious, cursing aloud.
The one he was cursing wasn’t just Qing Xi, but Tao Fairy as well.
If Tao Fairy hadn’t suddenly fled at the critical moment, then even if he couldn’t have killed Yu Jian, he definitely could have truly crippled him—so badly that it would take decades to recover his origin.
In that case, Yu Jian wouldn’t be able to continue clearing the later stages, effectively being taken out for the time being.
But such a perfect opportunity had been ruined by that bitch Tao Fairy. How could Mo Tushan not be enraged?
“As expected, the bitches from the Enchantress Pavilion can’t be trusted. Real fence-sitters.”
Mo Tushan’s eyes were icy. He stepped into the teleportation formation leading to the Divine Soul passage, intending to demand an explanation.
Yet when he arrived at the fifth stage of the Divine Soul Trial passage, he found it completely empty—Tao Fairy was nowhere to be seen.
It was easy to guess: her desertion put her in the wrong, so she had run at the first opportunity.
Mo Tushan stared coldly in silence for a while, but in the end he didn’t continue searching.
With Tao Fairy’s cunning, if she was determined to flee, it wouldn’t be easy for him to do anything to her.
And that bitch had been flirting around with Hei Ming before. This time, she was very likely going to seek out that fellow.
Mo Tushan was still quite wary of Hei Ming. With that guy’s strength, reaching the fifth stage wouldn’t be a problem at all.
If Hei Ming and Tao Fairy joined forces, Mo Tushan feared he wouldn’t be able to deal with them.
“Fine. I’ll settle accounts with that bitch later.”
Mo Tushan turned around and returned to the Flesh-Body Trial passage.
Right now, the most important thing was still to pass the trial.
If he got injured just to vent his anger and it affected clearing the stage, it would be a loss far outweighing the gain.
…
“These little brats are all pretty sharp.”
Inside the Immortal Palace, Black Savage Bull watched the changes on the light screen and laughed.
“Anyone who can cultivate to Nascent Soul Eight Tribulations—who’s simple?” Old Canglong said. “These cultivators are all elite disciples from the sects and factions outside. Naturally, each one is quick-minded and cautious.”
Only Ming Feng said nothing, merely watching the scene with a cold gaze.
“Keep watching. The time limit for clearing the fifth stage is one year. As more people clear the earlier parts, there should be more excitement later.”
Black Savage Bull spoke with great interest.
It only wanted to watch the drama, and it was looking forward to how things would develop next.
Day after day passed. The powerhouses within the trial passages were still striving to clear the stage.
Lu Qing, secluded in cultivation on Lingxu Peak, was likewise rapidly improving his cultivation.
The pills Old Canglong had given were all extraordinary, of extremely high grade.
And the spiritual qi on Lingxu Peak was also of exceptional quality, no worse than the spiritual resonance contained within mid-grade spirit stones.
With vast medicinal power plus surging spiritual qi, Lu Qing accepted it all without restraint, swallowing and refining everything.
Even with his incomparably solid foundation, his cultivation still rose steadily, increasing at a speed that would leave others dumbfounded.
Thus, three months passed, and Lu Qing’s cultivation reached the level of minor attainment in the Four Tribulations.
One year later, he surged into the great attainment realm.
Two years after that, without encountering any bottleneck, he reached perfection.
When his cultivation reached Four Tribulations perfection, Lu Qing finally slowly woke from his meditative trance.
“Finally, Four Tribulations perfection.”
Lu Qing felt the raging, surging mana within his body and was very satisfied.
Two years—from first entering the Four Tribulations to Four Tribulations perfection.
No matter which Nascent Soul expert you put this on, that kind of cultivation speed was terrifying.
What’s more, his foundation was unimaginably deep. Every tiny increase in cultivation required resources that could only be described as horrifying.
That he could cultivate this fast was entirely thanks to the pills Old Canglong had given him, and the massive amount of spiritual qi in this cave dwelling.
Otherwise, relying only on the spirit stones he had left, he simply couldn’t have supported that kind of consumption.
“Next, after I let things brew a bit more, I’ll prepare to undergo tribulation.”
Even though he had reached Four Tribulations perfection, Lu Qing didn’t choose to leave seclusion.
Instead, he planned to temper himself a little more, then directly undergo tribulation and charge in one go to Five Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit.
Only after reaching Five Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit could he begin to comprehend and grasp laws, further closing the gap between himself and the pinnacle Nascent Soul experts.
“Hm, Xiaoli broke through?”
Lu Qing sensed Xiaoli’s condition and, to his surprise, discovered that the little one had already broken through to the seventh transformation of the Golden Core.
Moreover, its aura was steady—it had likely broken through some time ago.
Seeing that Xiaoli was still cultivating, Lu Qing was happy for it, but he didn’t disturb it. He closed his eyes and entered meditation again.
Another month passed. After Lu Qing polished his aura until it was perfectly smooth and unified, he did not hesitate and directly drew upon the tribulation aura in the unseen depths.
Rumble!
In the next instant, amid a formless roar, vast heavenly might descended.
Countless strands of death energy and tribulation energy formed out of nowhere, completely drowning Lu Qing.
They sought to grind away his flesh body and primordial spirit altogether.
The commotion immediately startled Xiaoli out of cultivation.
“Ah Qing is undergoing tribulation again?”
Seeing Lu Qing swallowed by death energy and tribulation energy, Xiaoli’s mouth fell slightly open.
Although in the past ten-plus years it had seen this kind of scene many times, it still couldn’t help but tremble.
And it could feel that Lu Qing’s tribulation this time was different from before.
The tribulation’s might was far stronger.
“This fifth Nascent Soul tribulation really is extraordinary… but I can still hold.”
Lu Qing also noticed that the power of this fifth tribulation was far more terrifying.
But with his accumulated foundation, passing it should not be difficult.
“What?”
At the instant Lu Qing drew the tribulation to begin crossing it, in another layer of space, Old Canglong’s body trembled, and surprise appeared on its face.
“Old Canglong, what is it now?” Black Savage Bull, who had been watching the light screen, asked.
It had noticed that ever since the Immortal Palace opened this time, Old Canglong had become jumpier and jumpier.
Ming Feng also turned to look at Old Canglong.
“In the second layer of space, Great Dao Might has appeared—along with the aura of tribulation,” Old Canglong said, astonishment flickering uncertainly.
“Tribulation aura?” Black Savage Bull was shocked too. “Isn’t Ah Qing the only one in the second layer of space? Don’t tell me…”
“Let’s go take a look.”
Old Canglong immediately swept a claw. Space power surged, instantly enveloping the three of them.
Very soon, the three great exotic beasts appeared within the second layer of space.
“So it really is the aura of tribulation.”
Looking toward Lingxu Peak below, even Black Savage Bull was moved.
They couldn’t see through the situation inside the personal disciple’s cave dwelling, but they could still sense that powerful Great Dao Might and the tribulation aura.
“Ah Qing is undergoing tribulation inside? But wasn’t he just at the early stage of Nascent Soul Four Tribulations? How long has it even been for him to start charging at Nascent Soul Five Tribulations?”
Old Canglong and Ming Feng were shaken as well.
With their realm, they could naturally tell that before entering seclusion, Lu Qing’s cultivation had only recently broken through to Nascent Soul Four Tribulations.
But how long had passed? He had already cultivated to Four Tribulations perfection and begun crossing tribulation to charge at Five Tribulations?
Even with the pills Old Canglong had provided, it shouldn’t have been this fast.
“It seems we still don’t understand Ah Qing’s cultivation talent clearly enough.”
A strange light appeared in Old Canglong’s eyes.
It suddenly recalled how Lu Qing had asked before whether he could cultivate other paths in parallel.
Could it be that, besides the path of formations, Ah Qing also had other cultivation talents just as outstanding?
Black Savage Bull and Ming Feng thought of this as well.
They exchanged a glance, joy appearing in their eyes.
If that was truly the case, then what they had found this time was far more than simply picking up a treasure.
However, even though they were delighted, Old Canglong and the others did not disturb Lu Qing as he crossed tribulation, instead waiting calmly outside.
At this moment, they had already cast aside everything happening in the trial passages.
Even if everyone inside slaughtered each other to the last, it would be difficult to draw their attention.
Thus, the three great exotic beasts waited outside for a full three days before sensing that the tribulation aura within Lingxu Peak was slowly fading.
But soon, an even more powerful Great Dao Might erupted from within, and an incomparably dense wave of life force spread out.
Even the cave dwelling’s formation on Lingxu Peak could not fully conceal it.
“Such a powerful life force fluctuation!”
Old Canglong and the others were shocked again.
They naturally knew that this life force fluctuation was bestowed by the Great Dao after a Nascent Soul cultivator successfully crossed tribulation.
It helped the tribulation-crosser reforged the flesh, undergo a complete transformation, and increase their mana.
Yet the life force fluctuation erupting from Lingxu Peak at this moment was nothing like what a Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul’s successful tribulation could produce.
Even if an Eight-Tribulation Nascent Soul successfully crossed tribulation and stepped into the Nine Tribulations, it would probably still be hard to create a fluctuation this powerful.
Old Canglong and the others looked at one another.
If they didn’t know Lu Qing was in seclusion inside, they might even have suspected that some pinnacle Nascent Soul expert had secretly infiltrated, unnoticed by them.
“What do you think?” Old Canglong suddenly asked.
“What else is there to think? Once Ah Qing finishes crossing tribulation and comes out of seclusion, we’ll see what’s going on.”
Ming Feng’s tone remained calm as ever.
But Black Savage Bull and Old Canglong, who knew it well, noticed its tail feathers trembling slightly.
It showed that the heart of this usually aloof ice phoenix was far from calm right now.
“Yes. We can only wait for Ah Qing to leave seclusion to find out,” Old Canglong sighed.
The three great exotic beasts continued waiting outside. After another full half day, they finally sensed that the Great Dao Might within Lingxu Peak’s cave dwelling was also beginning to dissipate.
