I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 679
Chapter 679: Eye of Heavenly Tribulation, Illusionary Realm of Refining the Heart
Refining Core Shatters, and the Primordial Spirit Emerges!
With immense willpower, Lu Qing self-destructs his Core, blasting the avenue’s black and white lightning millstone apart.
Then, with the indestructible and indestructible state he’s grasped, he destroys and then rebuilds, absorbing all the black and white lightning, reshaping his Dantian Qi Sea and concentrating his Primordial Spirit.
“Is this the Primordial Spirit?”
Lu Qing gazed curiously at the small figure in his Dantian Qi Sea, holding a gourd, eyes closed.
He could sense that this figure, connected to his mind, was his Primordial Spirit.
However, this Primordial Spirit seemed a little different from others.
Others at the Primordial Spirit Realm seemed to reside in the Nigongwan Meixin acupoint.
However, his own Primordial Spirit, after evolving, remained in the Dantian Qi Sea.
“Is it because I haven’t yet transcended the Soul Tribulation that my Primordial Spirit can’t reside in the Meixin acupoint?” Lu Qing speculated.
He then looked at the black and white multicolored gourd held by the figure.
The gourd’s mouth continuously drew in and out the surging spiritual power flowing from his Dantian.
With each inhalation, Lu Qing’s power grew more refined.
Through his mind’s connection with the gourd, Lu Qing knew that this was the newly condensed Five Elements Gourd.
However, the Five Elements Gourd had clearly undergone a profound transformation.
Not only had its power grown immensely, but even its very essence had undergone a transformation.
After a few breaths of telepathic communication, Lu Qing finally understood what had happened.
He had previously integrated the Chaos Pearl into the Five Elements Gourd, intending to elevate it into a spiritual artifact. However,
the subsequent changes had caught him off guard, forcing him to self-destruct his Golden Core, condensing his spiritual power amidst the devastation.
The Five Elements Gourd shattered in the explosion.
However, this shattering, far from destroying it, actually gave it a boost in the final stage of its transformation, absorbing a vast amount of black and white tribulation thunder and recondensing it.
Now, with the Chaos Pearl integrated and a vast amount of yin and yang energy absorbed, the gourd’s essence had transformed. It
no longer possessed more than just the Five Elements; it also contained the powerful power of Yin and Yang.
Perhaps it was more aptly called the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd.
After its transformation, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd leaped from the lower-grade realm to become a mid-grade spiritual artifact.
Even more bizarrely, as a mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd did not generate an artifact spirit. This
was because, after its shattering, it was formed alongside Lu Qing’s primordial spirit.
Thus, influenced by some mysterious principle, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd became a companion artifact of Lu Qing’s primordial spirit, completely under his control.
Or, in a sense, his primordial spirit was the artifact spirit of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd.
“What a coincidence, full of wonders!”
Lu Qing couldn’t help but sigh after understanding this.
But all this was good news for him.
The Five Elements Gourd had originally been his natal spiritual artifact, and now, after its transformation, it had become a companion artifact of his primordial spirit, further strengthening the connection.
Furthermore, its rank had leaped to mid-grade spiritual artifact, multiplying its power a thousandfold and becoming another great aid.
All these changes were increasing his cultivation potential.
Of course, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd had more functions than just that, but he would have time to slowly explore its many uses after he had overcome the tribulation.
After understanding the changes in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd, Lu Qing’s mind shifted, and his consciousness entered his primordial spirit.
The next moment, he felt his spiritual perception abilities increase exponentially, and with the added blessing of the Heaven and Earth Formation,
he could sense everything within a thousand miles.
At the same time, he also discovered the powerful primordial spirits of the two races, hundreds of miles away, separating the two sides.
However, Lu Qing was not overly surprised.
His tribulation had caused such a large disturbance, and the Myriad Demons Mountains were at the junction of the two territories. It was impossible for the powerful people of the two races stationed on the border to fail to notice it.
He also noticed Xiao Li and the others hiding in the mountains and forests not far from the group of human powerful people.
“Hmm, what are those two trying to do, sneaking around?”
Lu Qing’s brows furrowed. He sensed two Jindan realm auras, lurking a hundred miles from Xiao Li and his group, seemingly intent on something.
But before he could figure it out, he felt a sudden jolt of divine might overhead.
It was the third calamity cloud, already condensing.
Seeing this, Lu Qing could only warn Xiao Li, then emerged from his mystical spiritual state and looked upward.
Hundreds of miles away, Xiao Li heard Lu Qing’s voice transmission and stirred slightly.
“Xiao Li, what’s wrong?”
Bai Jiao asked hurriedly, sensing Xiao Li’s movements.
“Ah Qing just sent me a message saying there are two late Jindan realm cultivators hiding a hundred miles from us, telling us to be careful,”
Xiao Li replied with a hint of seriousness.
A hundred miles was beyond its sensing range, which was why it hadn’t detected the two Jindan realm cultivators.
“Did the master send you a message?” Bai Jiao was surprised.
It hadn’t expected that Lu Qing, in the midst of the Heavenly Tribulation, could still pay attention to their movements.
“Well, Ah Qing also said that there was no need to worry about his tribulation. After nine more thunderbolts, his tribulation would be over.”
“There are actually nine more thunderbolts?”
The white dragon was even more shocked.
It already found it incomprehensible that the Heavenly Tribulation vortex had two tribulation clouds and eighteen thunderbolts.
Now Lu Qing actually said there were nine more tribulation thunders?
“Sure enough, there’s a third tribulation cloud!”
Above the sky, the powerful spirits of the two clans had already sensed a premonition after seeing the vortex of the heavenly tribulation linger for a long time.
But when they saw the third tribulation cloud actually condense, they couldn’t help but be shocked again.
This third tribulation cloud was even more bizarre.
It was a gigantic eye.
Its pupils were pitch black, devoid of any emotion, indifferent to everything.
It was as if the heavens had suddenly opened an eye and surveyed all of life.
The powerful spirits simply stared at the eye formed by the tribulation cloud, and a chill ran down their spines.
Everything before them was too bizarre, completely beyond their comprehension.
The powerful spirits of the two clans no longer pondered the reason for this change, as it was meaningless.
They knew that only after this strange heavenly tribulation ended would they have a chance to understand everything.
“This tribulation cloud condensed from the soul tribulation of the Great Dao Primordial Spirit Tribulation is actually an eye?”
Lu Qing was also greatly surprised, especially when he was stared at by the eye of the heavenly tribulation, which gave him an even more strange feeling.
It seemed as if this eye was really the eye of some unfathomable existence.
Lu Qing was not afraid, but raised his head and looked into its eyes.
He even activated his supernatural power to observe it, wanting to try and find out the origin of this Eye of Heavenly Tribulation.
However, Lu Qing watched for a long time, and before the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation could float out a message, he saw that the strange eye had blinked, and a thunderbolt had already struck down.
It was the calamity cloud of this eye that had already brewed the first calamity cloud and fell down.
Moreover, the thunderbolt was invisible and formless. One could only feel the power but could not see the shape, which was also extremely strange.
The target of the thunderbolt was very clear, and it was heading straight for Lu Qing’s eyebrow acupoint.
Physical defenses proved ineffective, and even the defenses of the five spirit beads proved ineffective.
This invisible tribulation lightning struck the soul talisman condensed from Lu Qing’s soul, and its waves rapidly spread, engulfing Lu Qing’s entire mind!
The next moment, Lu Qing felt his vision blur, and when he reappeared, he was in an unfamiliar environment.
Endless flames surrounded him, threatening to engulf him and completely refine him.
“Is this, an illusion?”
Lu Qing looked at the flames around him. Although they were incredibly realistic, the temperature and the burning sensation in his soul were identical to reality,
Lu Qing immediately recognized that he was in an illusion.
After all, possessing the [Psychedelic] ability, he was a master of illusion.
He could still tell whether what he saw was an illusion or not.
“Interesting, is this final soul tribulation meant to temper my mind through various illusions?”
Lu Qing suddenly understood.
Then his mind trembled slightly: “Break!”
As his soul shook, the hellish scene before him also violently shook.
Finally, it twisted and deformed, completely shattering.
Lu Qing’s mind also regained touch with his physical body and returned to reality.
However, after the illusion shattered, the flames did not disappear with it. Instead, they transformed into invisible aura, merging into Lu Qing’s brow acupoint and the soul talisman.
Instantly, Lu Qing felt a strange shift in his brow acupoint.
The soul talisman also took on a subtle spiritual aura.
“So that’s how it is. This so-called soul tribulation uses invisible tribulation thunder to drag my mind into one illusion after another, tempering it.
If I can break through the illusion, the tribulation thunder will transform into nutrients, cleansing and nourishing my soul, strengthening its essence.
If I can’t break through, I will be trapped in the illusion forever, until my mind and soul are annihilated.”
Sensing the changes within his body, Lu Qing finally gained a clear understanding of this third soul tribulation.
This Soul Tribulation was essentially similar to his usual use of the [Illusion] ability to cast illusions to entrap his enemies.
The only difference was that the illusions created by this Heavenly Tribulation were even more vast.
However, for Lu Qing, this wasn’t a problem.
Having already survived two tribulations in a row, his strength had already skyrocketed.
Especially after shattering his dantian and refining his primordial spirit, his spiritual power had undergone a transformation.
Furthermore, he also possessed the illusionary ability [Illusion].
Perhaps the next Soul Tribulation would be even easier for him to overcome than the previous one.
What followed proved Lu Qing’s suspicions correct.
Each subsequent thunderbolt from the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation dragged him into various illusions.
Some allowed him to possess the world’s most beautiful fairies and become the master of a harem. Some
allowed him to command millions of troops and become an unrivaled emperor.
Some allowed him to become the leader of the righteous path, ruling the righteous forces of the human race in the Tianyuan World.
Some conjured up the souls of those who had died at his hands, seeking revenge on him.
There were also illusions depicting Xiaoyan and his master’s tragic deaths, tearfully narrating to him.
And so on and so forth.
Later, there were even illusions that would allow him to transcend the tribulation of ascension and achieve immortality.
Without exception, Lu Qing shattered each of these illusions, absorbing all the tribulation thunder energy.
Bang!
As another illusion shattered like glass, a vast amount of tribulation thunder energy was absorbed by Lu Qing.
His mind grew increasingly clear, and the soul talisman in the acupoint between his eyebrows emanated a hazy golden light, as if on the verge of some fundamental transformation.
“Only one last tribulation thunder remains. I wonder what this final illusion will be?”
Lu Qing pondered as he absorbed the thunder energy
. Truthfully, while the illusions created by this soul tribulation were immensely powerful, so incredibly realistic
, they still felt distinctly alien to him, unable to shake his original resolve.
Therefore, even though the subsequent illusions grew increasingly powerful, his speed in breaking through them did not slow at all.
His original resolve remained steadfast, unwavering.
Lu Qing waited quietly. Before long, the ninth thunderbolt, brewing, finally struck.
The invisible lightning struck directly at the acupoint between Lu Qing’s eyebrows, dragging his mind into another illusory world.
“Ah Qing, Ah Qing!”
When Lu Qing opened his eyes, he heard someone calling him.
The voice was so familiar that it made his heart tremble.
Before he could turn around, he felt himself being embraced by a warm embrace.
The voice wept with joy: “Ah Qing, you’re finally awake! Mom thought you were going to abandon me and your dad like this.”
Feeling that distant, yet familiar, breath, Lu Qing’s stiff body suddenly relaxed. He
smiled softly, “Mom, I’m back.”
Then, looking at the weathered figure beside him, he whispered, “Dad, I’m back.”
“It’s good to wake up, it’s good to wake up,”
the usually solemn father Lu couldn’t help but wipe away his tears, repeating.
After a while, the two elders calmed down.
Lu Qing then asked, “Dad, Mom, what’s wrong with me?”
At this time, Lu Qing could already find himself lying on a white bed with an IV drip in his hand.
Judging from the surrounding layout, he should be in the hospital.
His body was empty, and all his magic power, soul, magic weapons and talismans had disappeared.
It was as if everything he experienced in the world of cultivation was just a dream.
“Ah Qing, don’t you remember anything?”
“Yeah, my memory is a little fuzzy.”
“Half a month ago, you were going home from work, passing by a road, and saw an out-of-control car crashing into a pair of children playing on the roadside. You pushed the two children away, but you were hit on the head by the car and fainted on the spot.
The doctor originally said that you would never wake up, but your mother didn’t believe it and came to call you every day. Now she finally woke you up.
You don’t remember all this?”
Lu’s father told the story bit by bit.
Lu Qing thought about it, feeling the memories constantly emerging in his mind, and nodded slightly: “It seems that’s the case.”
“It’s okay if you can’t remember. Anyway, you’re awake now, so don’t think about those things anymore. Get well soon. That’s the most important thing.”
“Yeah.”
Lu Qing nodded gently.
Seeing his parents smile, he smiled too.
“Interesting, weaving memories directly into my mind?”
