Chapter 761: Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique, A Frank Confession
“Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul, reversing the odds to slay an eighth-tribulation perfection Child of Destiny cultivator—and that True Witch Body… how on earth did Ah Qing pull it off?”
While Old Canglong and the others were still reeling in shock, countless questions also surfaced in their hearts.
Unfortunately, Lu Qing was still inside the trial passage. No matter how many doubts they had, they could only wait until he cleared the trial before asking.
Even so, Old Canglong and the others all knew this much: with the Sword Dao attainment Lu Qing had displayed, the time he’d need to clear the Sword Dao passage probably wouldn’t be long.
As long as they waited patiently for a bit, they should be able to see him come out.
Then they could properly question him about what was really going on.
With a thought, Old Canglong switched the light screen back to the Sword Dao passage.
In the image, Lu Qing stood before the Sword-Testing Stone of the seventh level, comprehending the sword intent within.
On the other side, after returning to the seventh level of the Sword Dao passage, Yu Jian and Qing Xi watched Lu Qing comprehending sword intent and remained far away, not approaching.
Especially on Yu Jian’s face, a hesitant look appeared.
In front of others, he’d put on an unfathomable air, making it impossible to guess the relationship between Lu Qing and the Heaven-Shattering Sword Sect.
But in truth, his own curiosity about Lu Qing was no less than anyone else’s.
He wasn’t sure whether Lu Qing had anything to do with the person he suspected.
“Senior Brother Yu Jian, should we go over?” Qing Xi asked via Divine Soul Transmission.
“Wait a bit. This fellow is comprehending sword intent right now. Once his comprehension reaches a pause, we’ll go make his acquaintance.”
After pondering for a moment, Yu Jian made his decision.
The sword intent of the seventh level was profound and obscure—hardly something one could fully comprehend in a short time.
When Lu Qing grew tired from comprehension and took time to restore his spirit, that would be the best moment for them to probe for information.
Watching this, Old Canglong and the others all wore strange expressions when they heard Yu Jian’s words.
They felt Yu Jian was likely making the wrong call.
Because judging from everything they’d observed so far, there was a very high chance that after this single round of comprehension, Lu Qing would directly clear the level and enter the eighth.
If Yu Jian didn’t ask now, he might never get another chance.
And indeed, things unfolded exactly as Old Canglong and the others had expected.
After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Qing—who had been comprehending sword intent—suddenly opened his eyes.
He casually slashed out a strand of sword qi that landed on the Sword-Testing Stone, leaving behind a sword scar exactly three inches deep.
A pillar of light appeared, enveloping Lu Qing.
That scene instantly stunned both Yu Jian and Qing Xi.
“Th-this…”
Qing Xi stared at Lu Qing wrapped in the pillar of light, so shocked she could barely speak.
She naturally knew what that pillar of light meant—it was the sign of clearing the level.
But how long had it been since Lu Qing started comprehending sword intent? At most a little more than a quarter of an hour, yet he had already cleared it?
Qing Xi’s mind went blank.
“Fellow Daoist…”
Yu Jian was equally shaken. He couldn’t help calling out to Lu Qing.
But it was already too late. Lu Qing had just turned his head back in confusion when the pillar of light began to dissipate.
And Lu Qing’s figure vanished from the space of the seventh level, entering the next level.
Only Yu Jian and Qing Xi remained, standing there in a daze, staring at the empty space ahead.
After quite a while, Qing Xi finally spoke with difficulty. “What kind of monster is that, Senior Brother Yu Jian? Is there really someone in this world who can fully comprehend the sword intent of the seventh level in a quarter of an hour? But if that’s the case, then after all these years, why did he only now reach the seventh level?”
“I don’t know,” Yu Jian said with a bitter smile. “But he entered from clearing the sixth level. You and I both saw it with our own eyes, didn’t we?”
Qing Xi fell silent.
That’s right. They had watched Lu Qing clear the level and enter—something witnessed firsthand, impossible to fake.
But precisely because of that, she found it even more unbelievable.
After a dozen breaths of silence, Qing Xi couldn’t help asking again, “Senior Brother Yu Jian, you truly don’t know this person’s background?”
“I know what you’re thinking, Junior Sister, but I really don’t know this fellow Daoist’s origin.” Yu Jian sighed. “If he truly came from our Heaven-Shattering Sword Sect, do you think Sword Lord would be willing to let him risk himself by entering the Gui Xu Secret Realm?”
Qing Xi froze. That was true—if they really had such a dazzling peerless disciple, the Heaven-Shattering Sword Sect would be protecting him too dearly; how could they send him here?
After all, the Gui Xu Secret Realm was left behind by a Daoist of Transcendence, and the dangers within were unfathomable.
If anything truly went wrong, even someone at the Dao-Integration realm would find it hard to reach a hand inside.
If it were their Kongming Sect, they absolutely wouldn’t bear to let such an unrivaled genius enter.
“If that’s the case, then he really isn’t a disciple of your Heaven-Shattering Sword Sect… but aside from a few sects like ours, what kind of power could cultivate a monster like Lu Qing?”
A powerhouse would never just appear out of nowhere for no reason.
Every emergence of an unrivaled expert represented an ocean of cultivation resources.
Other than top powers like their sects, Qing Xi truly couldn’t imagine what force could raise someone like Lu Qing.
“Who can say for sure?” Yu Jian said with emotion. “Perhaps it’s the will of fate—or perhaps he’s a genius expert out for tempering from some top power in another immortal domain.”
“Then Senior Brother Yu Jian, are we still going to continue comprehending and clearing levels?” Qing Xi asked.
Yu Jian was momentarily stuck. He stared at the Sword-Testing Stone ahead and fell silent.
With the Sword Dao comprehension Lu Qing had shown, they probably couldn’t catch up anymore.
Even if they managed to clear all levels in the end, any opportunities inside the Immortal Palace would likely have been taken by Lu Qing long before.
If so, did it still matter to keep comprehending and clearing levels?
After thinking for a while, Yu Jian finally spoke. “Continue. It’s still a good tempering for our Sword Dao. If we can fully comprehend all the sword intent here, then even if we can’t obtain the opportunities inside the immortal palace, it’s still no small gain.”
“Then I’ll listen to you, Senior Brother.”
While Yu Jian and Qing Xi resumed comprehending sword intent,
Elsewhere, Lu Qing had already brought his comprehension of the eighth level’s sword intent to the final stretch.
After a while, he opened his eyes and slashed out a strand of sword qi.
As the sword scar appeared, a pillar of light transmitted him to the ninth level.
The sword intent of the final level was far more profound and obscure than the previous eight, but it still couldn’t stump Lu Qing.
After more than half an hour, he completely comprehended the sword intent of the ninth level as well.
“Not bad. The Nascent Soul chapter of this 【Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique】 really is extraordinary. The sword intent it cultivates is no weaker than 【Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi】.”
Lu Qing opened his eyes, joy on his face.
After comprehending all nine levels of sword intent within the Sword Dao passage, he also obtained an extremely powerful Nascent Soul realm Sword Dao inheritance.
In the future, once he cross-verified this inheritance with the Sword Dao techniques he already possessed and fused them into one,
He would surely push his Sword Dao cultivation to a new height.
He raised his hand and slashed out another strand of sword qi, leaving a sword scar on the Sword-Testing Stone.
A pillar of light appeared, enveloping Lu Qing.
Inside the Immortal Palace, Old Canglong—who had been waiting for a long time—immediately formed a hand seal.
In the next instant, when Lu Qing’s vision cleared again, he saw three pairs of enormous eyes staring straight at him, bright and intent.
Lu Qing jumped in fright before he reacted.
He cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, three seniors.”
“Ah Qing!” Xiao Li pounced into Lu Qing’s arms, secretly transmitting to him, “Your performance in the trial passage just now—Grandpa Old Canglong and the others all saw it.”
Lu Qing understood at once, realizing why the three of them were looking at him like that.
But he wasn’t too surprised.
As Dao-Integration realm experts, it would be strange if they didn’t have such ability.
After all, Old Canglong could even control the entire Immortal Palace’s space.
“If seniors have anything you want to ask, then ask.”
Seeing Old Canglong and the others still staring at him, Lu Qing spoke first.
Lu Qing’s frankness surprised them somewhat.
After a moment of thought, Old Canglong finally spoke.
“Ah Qing, it’s not that we doubt you, but there are some things we must clarify.”
“This junior understands.”
“The thing you used earlier should have been the True Witch Body of the ancient Wu Clan. As a human, why are you able to perform the Wu Clan’s inherited secret technique?”
Lu Qing was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected the three of them to recognize the origin of his True Witch Body at a glance.
But thinking that they were old antiques who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he no longer found it strange.
After thinking a bit, he said, “I won’t hide it from the three seniors. This junior once mistakenly entered a secret realm left behind by an ancient Wu Clan great power.
“Within that secret realm, this junior obtained a Wu Clan inheritance.
“And within a blood pool left behind by the Wu Clan, this junior successfully condensed the witch body.”
“You condensed a witch body, yet you can still retain a human bloodline?” Old Canglong said in astonishment.
“The Wu Clan inheritance this junior obtained is rather special. It was created by a Wu Clan great power, and it allows one to choose to preserve one’s original bloodline.”
“A self-created Wu Clan technique that preserves one’s own bloodline… could it be…”
Hearing this, Old Canglong’s heart shook violently. Together with Black Savage Bull and Ming Feng, it exchanged an uncertain, startled look.
All three recalled a certain legend that had already circulated back in the ancient era.
Could it be that Ah Qing had obtained that individual’s inheritance?
If so, then it wouldn’t be impossible.
“Senior, what were you saying?” Lu Qing asked.
“Ahem, nothing.” Old Canglong came back to himself and coughed to cover it. “I didn’t expect such a wondrous Wu Clan inheritance to exist. It seems Ah Qing, your fortune is truly deep. By the way, do you know which great power left behind the Wu Clan inheritance you obtained?”
“I don’t know.” Lu Qing shook his head. “The inheritance didn’t leave that Wu Clan great power’s name.”
Lu Qing wasn’t lying. He truly didn’t know the name of the supreme existence that left behind the 【Heavenly Witch Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations】.
Even that mysterious existence within the Wu Clan trial secret realm had never mentioned it to him.
However, judging from Old Canglong and the others’ expressions, he guessed they likely knew something.
“Then that’s a pity,” Old Canglong sighed, though inwardly it also felt relieved.
If everything Lu Qing said was true, then for them, it wasn’t a bad thing.
“One more matter. Ah Qing—other than Formation Arts and Sword Dao, what else are you skilled in?”
After relaxing, Old Canglong continued.
At the same time, Black Savage Bull and Ming Feng also stared at Lu Qing with bright eyes.
Lu Qing’s performance in the Sword Dao passage had truly stunned them.
His clearing speed was even more exaggerated than in the Formation passage.
That made them wonder whether Lu Qing had other talents they didn’t yet know about.
“This…” Lu Qing thought for a moment, then said, “In my usual cultivation, I’ve learned a bit of everything—nothing too deep. If I have to say what I’m good at, it’s that I’m relatively skilled in cultivating the Path of the Body.”
“The Path of the Body…”
Old Canglong and the others recalled the scene of Lu Qing transforming into a hundred-zhang giant and flattening Mo Tushan with a single palm.
They all felt Lu Qing was being far too modest.
That wasn’t merely “relatively skilled”—it was simply heaven-defying talent!
As a human, yet able to cultivate the Wu Clan inheritance to such a level—
Even in the ancient era, Old Canglong and the others had never heard of anyone accomplishing this.
They had no doubt that with Lu Qing’s current physical strength, if he went to challenge the Flesh-Body Passage, he would absolutely clear it with ease.
And Old Canglong and the others also felt Lu Qing’s words just now likely still contained humility.
Because in the battle between Lu Qing and Mo Tushan, they could clearly see that aside from his body, Lu Qing’s mana and Divine Soul Power were also terrifying.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to drive such powerful sword qi and illusion techniques.
Thinking of this, Old Canglong and the others’ hearts trembled.
The way they looked at Lu Qing grew even more sparkling—like they were looking at some rare treasure.
Formation Arts, Sword Dao, the body, mana, and the Divine Soul—each one absurdly powerful, far beyond what cultivators of the same realm should have.
Such a monstrous genius—Old Canglong and the others had never even heard of one, even in that star-bright ancient era.
And now, they had accepted him as their master’s personal disciple.
The three of them were so excited they nearly wanted to reveal their true forms and howl freely to the heavens.
Fortunately, they were Dao-Integration realm powerhouses after all, and they ultimately suppressed that impulse.
“Right, Senior Canglong—now that I’ve cleared the nine levels of the Sword Dao passage, does that mean I can enter the Formation-Inheritance Grounds of the Sword Dao and receive the inheritance?” Lu Qing asked at this time.
He was extremely covetous of the 【Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique】 left behind by Daoist Guixu.
Just the Nascent Soul chapter alone already carried profundities that did not fall beneath 【Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi】.
If he could obtain the complete inheritance, it would certainly be of tremendous benefit to his future Sword Dao cultivation.
“Of course you can.” Old Canglong nodded. “According to the rules our master left behind, as long as you clear the trials he set, you may enter the inheritance grounds and receive the inheritance.”
Old Canglong recalled that when Lu Qing first entered the Immortal Palace, he had asked whether it was possible to cultivate multiple paths at once.
At the time, they had felt Lu Qing was aiming too high. Now that they thought back, it was they who had been short-sighted, failing to see the supreme potential contained within Lu Qing.
With the potential Lu Qing had displayed, perhaps in the future he might even become like their master—a Daoist of Transcendence who was proficient in all things and perfected in all things!
“Ah Qing, do you want to enter the Sword Dao inheritance grounds right now?”
“That’s fine… no, wait, this junior still has one more matter.”
Lu Qing was just about to nod when he suddenly stopped.
With a flip of his palm, an illusory space appeared within his hand.
