Chapter 762: The Dao of Causality, Curse-Killing Techniques, Changing Cave Dwellings
Seeing the illusory space in Lu Qing’s palm, and Mo Tushan’s primordial spirit sinking into it, Old Canglong and the others’ gazes tightened slightly.
Watching from up close only made them feel how exquisite the illusory space in Lu Qing’s hand truly was.
And Lu Qing’s realm was only a Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul, yet he could turn the unreal into the real and condense a genuinely “real” illusory realm, making Mo Tushan fall completely into it.
His attainments in the path of illusions were simply unimaginable.
One had to know that even if Mo Tushan was gravely injured, in essence he was still an Eight-Tribulation Nascent Soul. His Dao heart had been tempered countless times—unyielding and firm.
Yet even so, within Lu Qing’s illusory space he still could not remain clear-headed, sinking utterly into endless phantasms.
That alone showed just how terrifyingly powerful the illusion realm Lu Qing had created really was.
“Three seniors, what I want to ask is this—do you have any method to kill Mo Tushan completely?” Lu Qing asked.
“Kill him completely?”
“Yes. Completely—not just this primordial spirit, but any other soul avatars that might exist as well, all annihilated together. True shape-and-soul extinction.” Lu Qing nodded.
The reason Lu Qing trapped Mo Tushan in the illusory space was naturally not just to torment him.
More importantly, he wanted to use this primordial spirit to wipe Mo Tushan out for good.
Because he knew that core disciples of top-tier forces often left behind split souls within their sect.
If the main body outside died, the sect could pay a certain price and revive them through those split souls.
That was not something Lu Qing wanted to see.
Hearing Lu Qing’s words, Old Canglong and the other two exchanged glances, their expressions turning solemn.
“A Qing, to cross distant time and space and kill all split souls of an Eight-Tribulation Nascent Soul at once—this is not easy,” Old Canglong said.
“Even Dao-Integration realm experts would likely need to be those great beings skilled in the Dao of Causality, able to ignore the distance of time and space, the isolation of the world membrane, and the defenses of countless treasures and formations, to truly curse-kill an Eight-Tribulation Nascent Soul together with all their split souls.”
“Otherwise, even someone like me who is relatively adept in the Dao of Space cannot completely kill Mo Tushan right here.”
“So difficult?” Lu Qing was surprised after hearing Old Canglong.
He had thought three Dao-Integration realm great beings might have some way. He did not expect that killing all split souls of an Eight-Tribulation Nascent Soul—cutting off any chance of revival—would be so hard.
“Of course it’s hard. If Nascent Soul realm cultivators were that easy to erase completely, wouldn’t the great forces all live in fear, not daring to let their disciples go out to temper themselves?” one of them said.
Lu Qing thought about it and agreed.
Nascent Soul realm experts counted as mighty figures in many great worlds.
If they could truly be wiped out entirely with ease, the cultivation world’s structure would not be what it was now.
“Then, Senior Canglong, the Dao of Causality you mentioned…”
“Don’t even think about it,” Old Canglong shook his head. “The Dao of Causality is mysterious beyond measure. Its depth and obscurity surpass even the Dao of Space. Even in the ancient era, no one managed to truly grasp it.
“As far as we know, the only one who cultivated anything of it was a Dao-Integration realm expert known as the Curse Elder.
“That Curse Elder comprehended the law of curses from the Dao of Causality and realized extremely powerful curse divine abilities.
“His curse-killing techniques terrified ghosts and gods alike. Though only at Dao-Integration, even Daoist of Transcendence immortals were wary of him.
“If that Curse Elder made a move, then forget Nascent Soul realm— even Dao-Integration realm experts, once targeted by his curse-killing, would either die or be heavily injured.
“However, that Curse Elder acted perversely. In the ancient era he offended a powerful Daoist of Transcendence immortal.
“In the end he was hunted down and fled into the Tongtian Demon Abyss, then vanished without a trace. No one knows whether he perished inside.”
“Curse Elder… Tongtian Demon Abyss?” Lu Qing’s heart stirred.
Old Canglong waved a claw. “Don’t ask about the Tongtian Demon Abyss, A Qing. That place is not something you can touch right now. It is a terrifying death land that Dao-Integration realm experts don’t dare approach, and even Daoist of Transcendence immortals find hard to delve into.”
Lu Qing immediately understood how dreadful this so-called Tongtian Demon Abyss was.
If Dao-Integration realm cultivators didn’t dare get close, and Daoist of Transcendence immortals didn’t wish to explore it deeply, then a small Nascent Soul realm cultivator like him didn’t even have the资格 to lay eyes on it.
“Then the curse path…”
“We don’t have curse-type secret methods in the Guixu Immortal Palace,” Ming Feng said. “Master once said curse-killing secret arts harm the harmony of Heaven. Cultivating them also harms both others and oneself, damaging one’s own foundation. So he never collected such techniques.”
“So that’s how it is. Looks like I can’t completely wipe out this demon whelp for now.”
Lu Qing shook his head and put away the illusory space in his hand.
He planned to slowly ponder it later when he had time.
Old Canglong and the other two saw this and said nothing.
A mere Nascent Soul realm was not worth their concern.
Even if Lu Qing really crushed him on the spot, they would have no objection.
“Senior Canglong, please send me to the Sword Dao Inheritance Grounds.”
“Alright.”
Old Canglong didn’t say more. With a sweep of his claw, space power surged and teleported Lu Qing into the Sword Dao Inheritance Grounds.
But after Lu Qing’s figure vanished, the three of them looked at one another, the joy on their faces finally impossible to suppress.
“Old Canglong, this time we really picked up a treasure!” Black Savage Bull couldn’t help saying. “Who would’ve thought A Qing has talent not only in formation arts, but in other paths of cultivation as well!”
“A Qing’s cultivation talent is stronger than any disciple Master ever had,” Ming Feng nodded in agreement.
“Indeed. From A Qing, I see Master’s shadow. Perhaps in the future, A Qing may cultivate to Master’s realm as well,” Old Canglong sighed.
“Master’s realm!”
Black Savage Bull and Ming Feng both trembled.
But recalling the many talents Lu Qing had displayed these days, they had to admit Old Canglong’s words made sense.
“If A Qing really reaches Master’s realm, then if Master learns of it someday, who knows how happy he’ll be,” Black Savage Bull chuckled.
Off to the side, Xiao Li watched these three unbelievably powerful senior figures praising Lu Qing so much that it couldn’t help lifting its head proudly.
Just then Old Canglong saw it and smiled. “Xiao Li, since A Qing has gone to cultivate, let’s continue the trial from before.”
“Okay~” Xiao Li wasn’t afraid and answered loudly.
In the next moment, its figure vanished from where it stood, entering that space maze formation.
“The Dao of Causality… the methods of curses…”
Inside the Sword Dao Inheritance Grounds, Lu Qing did not rush to accept the inheritance. Instead, he thought about what Old Canglong had said earlier.
By Old Canglong’s account, if he wanted to kill Mo Tushan completely, only an extremely profound curse-killing Technique might accomplish it.
Unfortunately, he had no curse-type cultivation Technique in hand right now.
“Looks like I’ll have to keep an eye out in the future for Techniques related to the Dao of Causality.”
Lu Qing made up his mind.
A devil like Mo Tushan—he did not want to leave him any chance of revival.
In fact, he also had no intention of sparing the other Black-and-White Temple disciples within the secret realm.
However, those matters could wait until after he finished receiving the inheritance here.
Setting it aside for now, Lu Qing finally surveyed his surroundings.
Unlike the Formation-Inheritance Grounds, the Sword Dao Inheritance Grounds had no complicated formation patterns.
In the not-too-large space, only three Sword-Testing Stones stood there—one gray, one white, one gold.
The aura emanating from the gray Sword-Testing Stone felt extremely familiar to Lu Qing.
It was precisely the sword intent aura of the Nascent Soul chapter of the Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique that he had comprehended in the Sword Dao passage.
Lu Qing walked straight to the gray Sword-Testing Stone, activated his special ability, and looked into it.
Three days later, Lu Qing left the Sword Dao Inheritance Grounds.
In truth, on the first day he had already copied all the inheritances completely.
As he expected, the Dao-Integration chapter and the Transcendence chapter of the Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique were still beyond what he could comprehend at present.
So afterward he spent time deducing the Nascent Soul chapter of the Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique, to see whether he could integrate it into his own Sword Dao Domain.
Only after gaining some clues did he leave the inheritance grounds.
Seeing Lu Qing emerge after only three days, Old Canglong and the others were not surprised.
If anything, they were a bit surprised that this time Lu Qing spent longer than they had expected.
After all, when Lu Qing accepted the formation inheritance back then, he used less than half a day.
And judging by his performance in the Sword Dao passage, Lu Qing’s talent in sword dao was clearly even more outstanding than in formation arts.
Yet the time he spent accepting the sword inheritance was longer.
Lu Qing did not explain much.
Old Canglong and the others didn’t press. In cultivation, unexpected things were normal.
Perhaps A Qing had a deeper insight within the Sword Dao Inheritance Grounds, and that delayed him a bit.
After leaving the inheritance grounds, Lu Qing asked about Xiao Li.
Learning it was undergoing Old Canglong’s test, he didn’t disturb it. After encouraging it, he returned to the cave dwelling on Lingxu Peak.
Sitting cross-legged inside the Lingxu Peak cave dwelling, Lu Qing was about to cultivate when he suddenly felt something was off.
The spiritual energy in the cave dwelling had become much thinner than before—completely incomparable to when he first entered.
“So much time has passed, and it still hasn’t recovered?” Lu Qing frowned.
Previously he had cultivated here for years, raising his cultivation to the great completion of the fifth tribulation.
He had consumed a great deal of the cave dwelling’s spiritual energy.
He didn’t expect that after several days, the spiritual energy inside still hadn’t recovered.
“It seems the spiritual energy of each immortal mountain cave dwelling has its limits. If this cave dwelling wants to fully recover, it will probably take some time.”
Feeling the recovery speed, Lu Qing realized the reason.
These immortal mountain cave dwellings within the Immortal Palace floated in midair with no land to support them.
The reason they could still continuously produce spiritual energy was because his master, Daoist Guixu, had used unimaginable divine methods to seize strand after strand of spirit veins from elsewhere and seal them deep within each immortal mountain.
Then, using those spirit veins as roots, he laid down ingenious formations that continuously drew energy from the depths of the void and transformed it into spiritual energy.
But now it seemed that even this transformation had an upper limit.
At the very least, the spiritual energy conversion speed of this Lingxu Peak cave dwelling could no longer keep up with his cultivation needs.
Lu Qing rummaged through the spirit stones he had left and found there weren’t many remaining.
After thinking for a moment, he left the Lingxu Peak cave dwelling and went to another immortal mountain nearby.
“Senior Canglong said I can choose any cave dwelling here to live in. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”
Lu Qing pondered, then took out the Guixu Token and pressed it to the door of the new immortal mountain cave dwelling.
Soon, this immortal mountain—called Lingming Peak—was activated by him, and the cave dwelling opened.
Lu Qing flew into the cave dwelling, closed it, and began a new round of secluded cultivation.
Lingming Peak’s activation naturally caught Old Canglong’s attention at once.
“Old Canglong, what is it?” Black Savage Bull, who was watching Xiao Li break the space maze formation, noticed Old Canglong’s expression and asked.
Old Canglong’s face showed a hint of oddness. “A Qing activated Lingming Peak and entered its cave dwelling to go into secluded cultivation.”
Black Savage Bull was stunned. “Why did he suddenly run to Lingming Peak? Isn’t Lingxu Peak good?”
Ming Feng also looked over in question.
“I’ll check first.”
Old Canglong closed his eyes and carefully sensed.
A few breaths later, he opened his eyes again, surprise flashing within them.
“The spiritual energy on Lingxu Peak has weakened greatly—less than one-tenth of its usual level.”
“Lingxu Peak’s spiritual energy weakened? How could that be—did the formation malfunction?” Black Savage Bull asked.
“Impossible!” Ming Feng immediately refuted. “The formations within the many immortal mountains on the second level were personally arranged by Master. How could they have problems!”
“The formation on Lingxu Peak is operating fine,” Old Canglong shook his head. “Its spiritual energy is slowly recovering—it’s just that the recovery speed is somewhat slow. To fully recover, it will likely take some time.”
“So A Qing moved to Lingming Peak to cultivate,” Black Savage Bull realized, but then frowned again. “But why would Lingxu Peak’s spiritual energy suddenly drop so much?”
“This probably still comes down to A Qing himself.”
Old Canglong recalled how Lu Qing had refined and absorbed almost all the pills it gave him earlier.
Combined with Lingxu Peak’s sudden steep decline in spiritual energy, a guess slowly formed in Old Canglong’s heart.
“If I’m not mistaken, it’s because Lingxu Peak’s spiritual energy cannot fully supply A Qing’s cultivation needs, so it dropped sharply in a short time.”
“How is that possible? Lingxu Peak’s spiritual energy would be more than enough even for a Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations cultivator. A Qing is only a Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul—how could he…”
Black Savage Bull instinctively began to refute, but halfway through it abruptly stopped.
Because it suddenly remembered the strength Lu Qing had displayed in the battle against Mo Tushan, and that enormous True Witch Body.
At once, it understood why Old Canglong would say such a thing.
