Chapter 754: Comprehending Laws, Cultivation Soars

Lu Qing had originally been thinking about how to settle the score with Mo Tushan.

Now, after hearing what Old Canglong said, an idea took shape in his mind.

“Ah Qing, you want to go out?”

Old Canglong had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. He had seen everything. At a glance, he saw through Lu Qing’s thoughts.

“This junior has a bit of a grudge with Mo Tushan, and I want to find a chance to resolve it,” Lu Qing said frankly, without hiding anything.

“That Mo Tushan is an eight-tribulation Nascent Soul at perfection, and he also controls several demonic artifacts that aren’t weak. He won’t be easy to deal with.

“Besides, the three of us have our master’s order: we are not allowed to strike at cultivators who enter the secret realm holding a token. There’s no way we can help you.”

Old Canglong frowned slightly.

He acknowledged Lu Qing’s unrivaled talent in formations, but Lu Qing was still only a Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul. There was no way he could be a match for an eight-tribulation Nascent Soul head-on.

Unless there were enough time for Lu Qing to lay down a grand formation and lure the target into a trap, there might be a sliver of a chance.

But Mo Tushan was sharp and cautious—how could he possibly give Lu Qing such a perfect opening?

Black Savage Bull and Ming Feng thought the same.

These days, they had been watching cultivators clear the trials, so they knew very well.

Among everyone who had entered the secret realm this time, that cultivator called Mo Tushan ranked near the very top.

Not only was he ruthless and vicious, his strength was formidable. Even in the star-studded ancient era, he would have counted as a true heaven’s chosen.

Lu Qing’s talent was even greater, but his realm was still too low. In a direct clash, he could not possibly be Mo Tushan’s equal.

“This junior naturally isn’t going out to pick a fight with him right now.” Lu Qing smiled. “This junior just broke through and still needs time to stabilize my cultivation. When I’m more confident, I’ll look for the right moment.”

He had never planned to ask these three to make a move and help him reclaim face.

Against a single Mo Tushan, there was no need to go to such lengths.

Even with his current strength, he already had a fair amount of confidence.

Of course, he didn’t say that out loud.

He could tell the three senior exotic beasts still weren’t confident in him.

That was only natural. The gap between a Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul and an eight-tribulation Nascent Soul was enormous.

No one would believe the two could fight on equal footing, so he didn’t explain further.

Facts spoke louder than words. When he truly defeated Mo Tushan, every doubt would vanish like smoke.

In any case, Lu Qing wasn’t planning to seek out Mo Tushan immediately. He intended to temper himself a while longer.

He had just stepped into the Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul realm. His Divine Soul Power had surged, and he could now perceive the Sea of Laws.

This was exactly the time to comprehend laws and let his strength continue to rocket forward.

Once he fully digested this breakthrough, it wouldn’t be too late to go settle matters with Mo Tushan.

Besides, judging by the progress of those people outside in clearing the trials, they would likely be stuck in the test passageways for quite some time.

“Good. With your talent, if you cultivate a while longer, surpassing Mo Tushan is inevitable. There’s no need to risk yourself out of momentary anger,” Old Canglong said with a small nod.

He believed Lu Qing had a clear head and wouldn’t act rashly.

“Then I’ll trouble Senior Canglong to look after Xiao Li for now. This junior will go into secluded cultivation again for a while to consolidate my realm.” Lu Qing bowed.

“Go. You’ve just broken through—consolidating your cultivation comes first.”

Lu Qing rubbed Xiao Li’s head again. “Xiao Li, learn properly from Senior Canglong. Be good and listen, understand?”

“Mhm.”

Xiao Li didn’t want to be separated from Lu Qing, but it also understood that this opportunity was something Ah Qing had worked hard to obtain for it, and it couldn’t be wasted.

And when it thought of how Ah Qing’s cultivation speed had only been getting faster these past years, its heart steadied.

No matter what, it had to seize this chance to grow stronger.

At the very least, in the future it had to be able to help Ah Qing, instead of only hiding inside the Li Huo Cauldron every time.

After entrusting Xiao Li to Old Canglong, Lu Qing returned to his cave dwelling on Lingxu Peak.

If he could, he didn’t want to be apart from Xiao Li either.

Although, through his Spiritual Powers, he knew the three exotic beasts truly held no malice toward him and sincerely wanted to accept him as a disciple of the Guixu Immortal Palace…

Handing Xiao Li over to them was still a somewhat risky move.

What truly made him decide was the sense of loss Xiao Li had shown earlier.

Lu Qing could feel Xiao Li’s hunger for strength.

Since that was the case, he would secure an opportunity for it.

After a moment of silence, Lu Qing calmed his mind and prepared to continue cultivating.

He focused his spirit, stilled his breath, and used his mind to sense the void. Very quickly, he felt the countless, incomparably intricate laws within the Sea of Laws.

This time was different from when he had sensed it through a Divine Ability Seed. Now that he was sensing the Sea of Laws with his own primordial spirit, everything was more complete and far clearer.

After comprehending for a while, understanding gradually dawned in Lu Qing’s heart.

“So that’s how it is. In the Sea of Laws, innumerable laws interweave and coexist. All manner of Great Daos run across it, vast beyond measure, and the whole is hard to glimpse. Among them, the Dao of Space is the most boundless and the most unfathomable. It doesn’t even reveal its true form—there’s no way to sense it directly.

“And yet the laws derived from the Dao of Space are everywhere. Even the most ordinary Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul can sense their existence.

“No wonder, after stepping into the Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul realm, people almost always start by comprehending spatial power.

“Spatial laws really are among the easiest laws in the Sea of Laws to sense.”

Only when one’s realm arrived could one truly understand cultivation at that level.

After breaking through to the Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul realm, Lu Qing only needed a brief bout of comprehension for many questions that had long lingered in his heart to resolve themselves.

For example, why Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul experts generally started by studying spatial power.

It was because spatial laws were incredibly numerous and complex, and they were among the laws most easily sensed within the Sea of Laws.

Take Spatial Transference, for instance—among the countless spatial laws, it was relatively easy to grasp.

But spatial laws were also famously easy to learn and hard to master.

It was simple to learn a few shallow spatial laws, but if one wanted to go further—to understand the essence of space and sense the true Dao of Space—

Then the difficulty increased by hundreds of times, even thousands of times.

Unless one was truly a favored child of space, with unimaginable spatial talent…

Even exhausting an entire lifetime, one might still be unable to glimpse the true face of the Dao of Space.

Thus, most Divine Soul cultivators above the Five-Tribulation level would, after grasping some shallow spatial laws, turn to comprehend other Great Daos that suited them better.

And as one continued to study Great Dao laws, gradually understanding more and more Great Daos—when the primordial spirit could truly observe the full picture of a particular Dao—

In the end, when heart and Dao aligned, and one could merge one’s mind into the Dao itself, drawing upon a wisp of Great Dao power for personal use—

That realm was called the Dao-Union realm.

After being reforged again and again, Lu Qing’s cultivation aptitude truly had become frighteningly powerful.

With the added help of his Spiritual Powers, his comprehension had reached an unbelievable level.

After stepping into the Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul realm, it took only his first cultivation session for him to understand the road of cultivation beyond the fifth tribulation—how it should be walked.

He even gained a sliver of his own understanding of the Dao-Union realm.

“To comprehend the Great Dao laws that suit me… then which Great Daos are most compatible with me?”

Lu Qing began to ponder.

There was no point thinking about the Dao of Space for now. He had no Spatial Divine Ability, and at present he also couldn’t sense where that Dao lay.

However, there were quite a few Great Daos he felt close to.

First, because of Divine Ability: Great Strength and Phantasm, he had a natural affinity with the Dao of Strength and the Dao of Illusion.

Second, ever since the Postnatal Realm, he had been cultivating all five elements together.

So his affinity with the Five Elements Dao was likewise extremely strong.

As for other Great Daos—such as the Sword Dao, the Blade Dao, and the Dao of formations—because of the many secret arts he had cultivated, they were also fairly clear to him.

But compared to them, the Five Elements Dao drew him the most.

That meant his next path was quite clear.

“Based on my sense of these Great Daos, the Five Elements Dao has the highest compatibility with me. Then the direction for the follow-up cultivation method after the Perfect Divine Soul Technique is clear.”

As understanding surged within him, Lu Qing immediately knew where the later stages of the Perfect Divine Soul Technique should go.

Five Elements Dao laws as the root, other Great Dao laws as support.

Multiple Great Dao laws advancing together—only then could he push his cultivation to an even more terrifying level.

With inspiration in his heart, Lu Qing did not hesitate. With the help of his Spiritual Powers, he began to deduce the follow-up method of the Perfect Divine Soul Technique.

In an instant, countless insights flickered through Lu Qing’s mind.

While comprehending the myriad laws within the Sea of Laws, he continuously deduced and refined the subsequent tribulations of the Perfect Divine Soul Technique.

Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed.

On this day, Lu Qing opened his eyes. Within them, it was as if rivers of stars turned, as if countless Great Dao laws glittered and pulsed.

But soon, these strange signs vanished, and his eyes returned to normal.

“At last, the framework for the next few tribulations is in place.”

Lu Qing sighed with emotion.

Over these two years, his primordial spirit had remained immersed in the Sea of Laws, comprehending those vast Great Dao laws.

Through constant verification and constant deduction, he finally deduced the entire sixth tribulation method of the Perfect Divine Soul Technique, and also built the framework for the next three tribulations.

Of course, it was only a framework.

The complete method still required him to spend tremendous effort, slowly filling in and perfecting the details.

Even so, this act of creating a method had brought Lu Qing enormous gains.

Not only did he gain an extremely deep understanding of the various Great Dao laws he was compatible with—

Even his cultivation advanced further, fully stabilizing the Five-Tribulation realm.

“More important is…”

Lu Qing raised a hand. With a thought, the space above his palm suddenly warped slightly, and a tiny spatial vortex appeared.

“Spatial distortion power… I’ve finally grasped it.”

A smile appeared on Lu Qing’s face.

In these two years of deep comprehension, he had also incidentally grasped some of the shallower Laws of Space.

He even comprehended the secret art of Spatial Transference.

From now on, when he performed Spatial Transference and traversed space, he would no longer need to rely on a Transmission Talisman. He could do it himself.

Of course, inside the Immortal Palace, he still could not freely traverse the void.

The space here was simply too stable. With his current ability, being able to warp space even slightly was already his limit.

But mastering spatial power still meant a great deal to Lu Qing.

It further smoothed out the gap between him and top-tier Divine Soul cultivators.

Because through comprehending laws, he had come to understand many things.

For instance, due to the special nature of the Dao of Space, even among top-tier Divine Soul cultivators, their understanding of spatial laws was not necessarily stronger than someone of a lower realm.

And now that Lu Qing could distort the space inside the Immortal Palace—even if only a little—he was already stronger than many top-tier Divine Soul cultivators in this regard.

The reason he could grasp spatial power so quickly and to this extent was thanks to his experience in crafting Transmission Talismans, as well as that extraordinary treasure with Dao Artifact essence—the Void Flying Boat.

Especially the Void Flying Boat. It had carried Lu Qing through the deeper layers of the void many times.

This gave him a rather profound understanding of the nature of space.

It also greatly aided him in comprehending spatial laws.

“Unfortunately, even so, I still can’t sense where the Dao of Space is. It really lives up to being one of the most mysterious Great Daos.” Lu Qing couldn’t help but sigh.

The Dao of Space was everywhere, yet unlike other Great Daos, it could not be sensed directly.

Even if he mastered certain spatial laws to quite a deep degree, he still found it hard to truly sense where the essence of that Dao lay.

“When I have time later, I should ask Senior Old Canglong.”

From their earlier conversation, Lu Qing knew that Old Canglong’s lineage was extremely skilled in the Dao of Space.

Perhaps later, he could seek guidance from this Dao-Union expert.

After his emotions stirred for a moment, Lu Qing finally calmed himself.

Now that he had built the framework for the later tribulations of the Perfect Divine Soul Technique—

What remained was the slow, grinding work of polishing details. There was no rush.

On the contrary, over these two years, although his cultivation had not stagnated, it also hadn’t increased by much. It was time to truly cultivate in earnest.

With that thought, Lu Qing scattered a batch of Spirit Stones across the ground, forming a large Gathering Spirit Formation.

At the same time, he took out the remaining bit of pills Old Canglong had given him before, and swallowed them all.

The spiritual energy at Lingxu Peak was already rich, but what he was about to do was no small matter.

Naturally, the denser the Spiritual Essence, the better.

With everything arranged and prepared, Lu Qing closed his eyes and began cultivating once more.

As the method circulated, a terrifying suction erupted from within him, rapidly swallowing the incomparably dense spiritual energy in the cave dwelling like a whale drinking.

His cultivation began a new surge.

Another year passed.

When Lu Qing woke from cultivation again, he discovered that the spiritual energy in the cave dwelling had become much thinner.

Clearly, even this Immortal Mountain cave dwelling of extremely high grade was struggling to withstand the consumption of his cultivation.

But the results it bought were exceptionally rich.

“Five-Tribulation great completion. With my current self… I should be able to bump fists with Mo Tushan, right?”

Feeling the surging, boundless power within his body, Lu Qing murmured softly to himself.
