I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 726

Chapter 726: The Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and the First Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to Everyone)

Since achieving his Primordial Spirit, Lu Qing has been busy traveling, practicing cultivation techniques, comprehending supernatural powers, refining elixirs, and so on.

The time he’s devoted to cultivating the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] is extremely rare.

But this doesn’t mean his cultivation has stagnated.

In fact, his [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] is constantly in operation.

As Lu Qing’s main cultivation method, a blend of numerous powerful techniques and painstakingly developed through his supernatural powers, the

[Perfect Yuan Divine Method] is far from a simple one.

Even when not actively practicing, it remains constantly in operation, enhancing Lu Qing’s cultivation.

Furthermore, his natal magic weapon, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd, constantly aids him in refining spirit stones and refining his mana. While

it’s true that the spiritual energy of his home world isn’t sufficient for Lu Qing’s current cultivation needs,

he possesses a wealth of spirit stones, allowing him to absorb the spiritual energy within them for his daily practice.

In fact, Lu Qing regularly stores many spirit stones in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd for cultivation.

While this approach wasn’t as efficient as simply setting up a spirit gathering formation and then focusing on cultivation

in seclusion, it offered the advantage of continuous improvement, constantly improving his cultivation without interfering with his other activities.

Consequently, despite not engaging in extended periods of seclusion, his cultivation had grown increasingly profound over the years.

Furthermore, the two years of comprehending the [Great Dao of Illusion] had invisibly elevated his soul realm.

Now that [Illusion] had broken through to a great supernatural power, his cultivation had reached its limit, allowing him to overcome his first soul tribulation.

“Soul tribulation?”

Lu Qing sensed the aura of that mysterious tribulation. He could sense that he could trigger it at any time if he so desired.

At that point, the legendary soul tribulation would descend.

Survive it, and he would become a first-level soul. However, Lu Qing didn’t rush for a breakthrough. Instead, he

took out a mind-calming pill, swallowed it, and once again entered a state of concentration, regulating his breathing.

Two years of contemplating the Great Dao had taken a heavy toll on his mind and spirit.

A breakthrough under these circumstances was clearly a risky undertaking.

The safest path forward was to restore one’s state to peak condition before achieving a breakthrough.

With the aid of elixirs and Lu Qing’s incredible recovery abilities,

it took only a few days for him to fully recover his mind and reach peak condition.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing waved his hand, scattering a large number of mid-grade spirit stones, forming a spirit gathering array.

As the surging spiritual energy was unleashed, Lu Qing also began to channel the elusive aura of doom within him.

The next moment, unimaginable might of the Great Dao suddenly appeared in the quiet room. The unimaginable aura of doom completely enveloped Lu Qing, threatening to corrode and destroy him.

Simultaneously, endless elusive energy emanated from within him, working together internally and externally to completely destroy Lu Qing.

In an instant, black blood flowed from Lu Qing’s mouth and nose, and his hair turned white and gray at a visible rate.

His skin began to wrinkle and dull.

An aura of decay and decay emanated from him.

His entire being aged at an incredibly rapid pace.

Even his magical powers began to suffuse with a dead aura, seemingly fading from their function.

“Is this the Soul Tribulation? The legendary Five Decaying Tribulation of Heaven and Man is truly terrifying.”

Lu Qing marveled at the changes in his body.

The Soul Tribulation of the Soul Realm wasn’t the same kind of celestial tribulation experienced during a major realm breakthrough.

It was a far more terrifying and bizarre tribulation, known as the Five Decaying Tribulation of Heaven and Man.

This tribulation disregarded defenses and, once triggered, instantly impacted the surviving cultivator.

No matter how powerful the protective magical weapon, it couldn’t stop the Five Decaying Tribulation.

Vast swathes of deathly energy would emerge from within and outside the surviving cultivator’s body, consuming and destroying them.

Even with the exception of a few rare life-giving treasures, the vast majority of magical weapons were useless against the Five Decaying Tribulation.

Survivors could only rely on their own accumulated foundation and persevere through the tribulation. Surviving

it offered a vast new world, a vastly increased cultivation, and a greatly extended lifespan.

Failure to survive would result in the complete decay of the physical body and the soul, reduced to skeletal remains.

This calamity is truly terrifying, instilling immense awe in all those at the Soul Realm.

For this reason, most Soul Realm cultivators lacking confidence in themselves rarely choose to undergo the Soul Tribulation prematurely.

Instead, they diligently cultivate, continuously building their foundation.

Only when their lifespan is drawing to a close will they make the leap to transcend the tribulation and achieve a breakthrough.

Only those truly supremely confident geniuses choose to undergo the tribulation prematurely and continuously break through.

For someone like Lu Qing, who had only achieved Soul Realm cultivation for over a decade and already endured his first Soul Tribulation, this was truly rare.

Such a madness would be hard to find in any immortal realm.

Of course, Lu Qing’s courage to endure the tribulation stemmed from his absolute confidence.

If someone who had condensed the Perfect Soul God was timid even at his first Soul Tribulation, how could he even hope to scale new heights and aspire to the realms beyond the Soul Realm?

In reality, this first Soul Tribulation proved to be no match for Lu Qing.

Although the death energy of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man surged, threatening to completely corrode his body and soul, turning them into decay,

Lu Qing’s foundation was too profound, and the vitality within his body was unimaginably strong.

Even the Five Tribulations Demon King couldn’t match him in sheer vitality.

While the deathly aura of tribulation was constantly eroding Lu Qing’s body and soul, the powerful vitality within him fueled his regeneration at an even faster rate.

Consequently, Lu Qing appeared terrifying, as if on the verge of decay and death.

In reality, his foundation hadn’t suffered much damage.

An hour passed, and the immense deathly aura of tribulation gradually dissipated, while the vitality within Lu Qing remained surging.

As the last traces of tribulation retreated, it signaled that Lu Qing had safely survived his first tribulation of the soul.

At that moment of overcoming the tribulation, the might of the Great Dao within Lu Qing transformed once more.

A vast amount of energy imbued with the essence of the Dao surged from the void, engulfing Lu Qing’s body.

Instantly, Lu Qing felt a transformation taking place within his body, his magic power, and his soul.

A long moment passed, until the might of the Great Dao gradually faded.

Lu Qing felt that his body, magic power, and soul had become much stronger, and his strength had increased dramatically again.

“Very good, with my current strength, even if I don’t use my magical powers and the body of a true witch, and only use ordinary Taoist methods, I’m afraid that there are few people who can compete with me in the Five Tribulations Soul.”

Lu Qing felt the change in his strength and smiled with satisfaction.

This is the benefit of a deep foundation.

With each breakthrough, his strength will increase dramatically. Those enemies who could originally compete with him will be left behind in an instant and will no longer be able to pose a threat to him.

“However, the Soul Realm, before and after the Five Tribulations, is a completely different world. Strength is not measured by pure strength alone. We still cannot be careless.”

Although this breakthrough had caused Lu Qing’s power to surge, he still secretly warned himself not to become complacent.

Of the nine tribulations of the Yuanshen realm, the first five can be considered merely increases in strength.

With each tribulation, a cultivator’s strength and lifespan would surge.

But after the fifth tribulation, things were different.

With each tribulation, a cultivator not only gained strength and lifespan, but also acquired certain uncanny abilities.

For example, the unfathomable ability to manipulate the laws of space was one such ability.

Other abilities were bestowed upon the cultivator’s innate talent and the techniques they cultivated.

In short, every Yuanshen master after the fifth tribulation was a peerless talent, extremely formidable to deal with.

Although Lu Qing now possessed unparalleled power and possessed numerous hidden weapons, he still had to be cautious if facing an opponent of that level.

Of course, these were merely Lu Qing’s own warnings.

He was currently in his home world, extremely remote and difficult to find.

Apart from him, there was no other Yuanshen realm cultivator in the entire world.

Therefore, no one could pose any threat to him.

He was simply being cautious, reminding himself not to forget that there are always people better than you.

“However, there’s no need to worry about safety, but the deduction of the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] can’t be delayed any longer.”

After sighing, Lu Qing began to think about another matter.

That was the deduction of the subsequent techniques of the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method].

Although he had successfully deduced the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] in the Wu Clan’s secret trial realm,

due to time constraints, he had only deduced the techniques for the first tribulation. He

had never had time to deduce the subsequent techniques.

Now that he had overcome the first soul tribulation, the deduction of the subsequent techniques of the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] was urgent.

Otherwise, at his current cultivation speed, he would soon be faced with a shortage of techniques to practice again.

“Since the levels of both magical powers have already been raised, I’ll focus the next few days on deducing the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method],”

Lu Qing finally made a decision.

However, he didn’t rush to begin practicing the technique immediately, instead planning to rest for a while before resuming his retreat.

This time, comprehending the [Great Dao of Illusion] and elevating his [Psychedelic] ability to a higher level had taken him two full years, a time commitment far exceeding his expectations.

Furthermore, he had just survived the Soul Tribulation.

So, he decided to relax his mind before resuming his retreat.

Leaving his meditation room, Lu Qing spotted Xiao Li squatting outside the door, gazing at him with concern, his tail twitching nervously.

Upon seeing Lu Qing emerge, his eyes lit up, and he leaped up, lunging towards him.

“Ah Qing, you’re out! What was that just now?”

It turned out that Xiao Li had sensed the terrifying might of the Great Dao and the chilling aura of deathly tribulation that had emanated from Lu Qing’s tribulation. Worried, he had come to wait outside Lu Qing’s retreat.

Seeing him emerge, he felt relieved and quickly inquired.

“Just now, I experienced a breakthrough in my cultivation, triggering a shift in the laws of heaven and earth. What? Did I scare you?”

Lu Qing reached out and stroked Xiao Li’s fur, soothing him.

But Xiao Li’s eyes widened at his words.

“A breakthrough! Ah Qing, were you just undergoing the Soul Tribulation?”

“Yes, I just passed the first Soul Tribulation.”

Lu Qing nodded slightly, not denying.

“You passed the first Soul Tribulation so quickly…”

Xiao Li was stunned.

Although he had always known Ah Qing’s cultivation speed was astonishing, he was still shocked.

After all, it had only been a few years since Lu Qing last underwent the tribulation and achieved the Soul Realm.

Even he hadn’t yet achieved the breakthrough and entered the seventh stage of the Golden

Core Realm. And yet Ah Qing had already passed the first Soul Tribulation and become a First Tribulation Powerhouse?

Xiao Li was incredulous. Why did he feel that Ah Qing’s cultivation speed had not slowed down since entering the Soul Realm, but had actually accelerated.

Was this simply unbearable?

“Ah Qing, are you coming out of seclusion now?”

Xiao Li asked after a long pause, regaining his composure.

“Yes, we’ve been in seclusion here for over two years now. Xiao Yan must be missing us. Let’s go home first.”

“Yes, it’s been so long. If I don’t go back, Xiao Yan will miss us again.” Xiao Li nodded repeatedly.

However, he secretly resolved to cultivate even harder once he got home.

Otherwise, the gap between him and Ah Qing would widen. At the

very least, he had to reach the seventh stage of the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible.

Lu Qing led Xiao Li out of the Jade Transformation Cave and back to the village.

Two years had passed, and the village remained as peaceful as before, with no significant changes.

Xiao Yan, Han Ling Shuang, and the others were overjoyed to see Lu Qing return.

Although they had spent most of the past two years in seclusion, not really noticing the passage of time,

they were still delighted to see Lu Qing emerge.

Lu Qing also felt that after two years, Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang had made great progress in their cultivation.

Xiaoyan’s cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth Jindan stage, and she was only a step away from the seventh Jindan stage.

Han Lingshuang had also reached the peak of the third Jindan stage, and it wouldn’t be long before she broke through to the fourth stage. After all

, the elixirs Lu Qing had given them were no ordinary pills.

Even a single one would cause a Jindan cultivator to shudder.

Even in the Tianyuan World, these were high-quality elixirs worth a fortune.

It was clear that Xiaoyan and the others had taken Lu Qing’s advice seriously and not relied too heavily on the elixirs.

Otherwise, their cultivation would likely have reached even higher levels.

However, that would have weakened their foundation.

Understanding this, Lu Qing felt a surge of satisfaction.

This proved that Xiaoyan and the others had sufficient self-control in their cultivation, and that the elixirs he had refined hadn’t been in vain.

After returning to the village, Lu Qing’s days began to relax again, spending his days fishing, spending time with Xiaoyan and the others, and relaxing.

After more than ten days, he went into seclusion again and began to deduce the subsequent techniques of the [Complete Dollar Divine Method]. (End of this chapter)
