Chapter 404: Cultivation surges, precious light transforms into divine weapon

“The feeling of rapidly increasing cultivation is truly addictive.”

Jiuli Village, Lu’s family.

Lu Qing awoke from his cultivation, a sigh in his eyes.

“Unfortunately, I’ve reached a bottleneck.”

Lu Qing began to sense his own situation.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within his Dantian (Qi Hai) surged with such purity that it was practically condensing into substance.

The divine spirit talisman within his brow acupoint also glowed brightly, emitting waves of warm aura.

The energy and blood within his body, like that of an ancient behemoth, was like a deep and vast ocean, every inch of flesh and blood brimming with power.

With every movement,

he seemed to be able to shatter space. Of course, Lu Qing knew this was just an illusion.

Breaking through space with one’s flesh was difficult even for a Jindan-level cultivator.

It required at least a Yuanshen-level cultivator.

Lu Qing’s mind moved, and a shimmer of light suddenly appeared on his skin.

But unlike before, this time, the light was no longer white, but a faint red.

“Red flesh-body precious light!”

At this moment, “Yan” also materialized, observing the radiant light from Lu Qing with astonishment.

Generally speaking, only Jindan-level physical cultivators could cultivate this red flesh-body precious light.

But Lu Qing hadn’t yet transcended the tribulation and achieved the Jindan stage.

This left only one possibility.

“Young Master, your physical strength is already comparable to that of a true Jindan-level physical cultivator!”

“Almost.”

Lu Qing’s mind fluttered, and the red light enveloping him suddenly gathered, twisting and transforming into a sword, which he grasped.

“Precious light transforms into a divine weapon!”

“Yan” was moved again by this scene.

Lu Qing was currently unleashing a technique commonly used by Jindan-level physical cultivators: precious light transforming into a divine weapon.

“Is this the precious light transforming into a divine weapon?”

Lu Qing also sensed the power of the sword in his hand,

finding that it was essentially no different from sword energy or blade light.

The only difference was that this thing was far more powerful and could attack the soul. Furthermore, it was derived from the essence and spirit of a physical cultivator, making it much easier to control.

Furthermore, it could transform into a myriad of forms at his command, far more flexible than ordinary weapons and magic tools.

The red light in Lu Qing’s hand constantly shifted,

sometimes transforming into a sword, sometimes a longsword, and then a spear. In a short while, it had transformed into every weapon imaginable.

After playing with it for a while, he dispersed the light and absorbed it into his body.

“No wonder they say that physical cultivators gradually address their shortcomings after reaching the Golden Core stage.

This light transforming into a divine weapon is similar to the Taoist magic and sorcery of magic cultivators.

And as my cultivation deepens, the power of this light will continue to grow.

In the future, it will be on par with even those powerful magic tools.”

Lu Qing’s understanding of the physical cultivation path deepened even further.

“Young Master, you haven’t reached the Golden Core Realm yet, have you?”

“Yan” watched Lu Qing transform into precious light, and finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course not. To achieve the Golden Core, one must transcend tribulation. This is the iron rule of cultivation. Senior, you must know this, right?”

“Of course I know! But since you’re not at the Golden Core Realm, how can you use precious light to transform into a divine weapon?”

“Yan” knew his question was absurd.

After all, it had always been by Lu Qing’s side, so it naturally knew whether he had transcended tribulation or not.

But Lu Qing’s performance was truly astonishing, surpassing its understanding of cultivation.

That’s why it couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s simply because I’ve accumulated more knowledge, my body is stronger, and my realm is higher than the average cultivator,” Lu Qing said calmly.

The aura of a physical cultivator’s body is a natural manifestation of a certain level of spiritual energy.

However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that only those in the Golden Core realm will experience a red aura.

There’s no necessary connection.

“A stronger body equates to a higher realm…”

Yan was speechless after hearing Lu Qing’s explanation.

It understood Lu Qing’s meaning, but this answer was even more incredible than Lu Qing’s failure to reach the Golden Core realm. He hadn’t even achieved Golden Core

yet, yet his physical might was already rivaling that of a true Golden Core physical cultivator.

How powerful would he be once he truly transcended the tribulation and entered the Golden Core realm?

Yan couldn’t even begin to imagine.

“Then, young master, your current realm…”

“Just barely complete the foundation building phase. With a little more practice, you should be able to transcend the tribulation,” Lu Qing replied.

He sensed the Five Elements Gourd in his Dantian.

Within it, there was still plenty of Five Elements Spiritual Fluid. He had only consumed a small portion of it to raise his cultivation to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Unfortunately, reaching the Golden Core Realm required undergoing the baptism of a heavenly tribulation. Otherwise, he would have truly wished to remain in seclusion until all the Five Elements Spiritual Fluid had been refined.

After all, the feeling of rapidly improving his cultivation was simply too wonderful.

But now, he had to perfect himself first, transcend the tribulation and reach the Golden Core Realm, before he could continue refining the Spiritual Fluid.

After calming his mind, Lu Qing gathered his thoughts and entered a state of meditation once again.

This time, however, he was no longer refining the Spiritual Fluid, but instead focused entirely on refining himself. He

sought to bring his body, soul, and all his vital energy and spirit to a state of true Great Perfection.

That would be the day he would transcend the tribulation.

As Lu Qing continued his retreat, honing his self-cultivation,

a streak of light streaked from the sky deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains,

landing in the valley where the gate to the secret realm lay.

When the light faded, two figures emerged.

It was the white-robed youth and the Xiantian realm master he held in his grasp.

“The vibrations emanating from this secret realm entrance… this secret realm is even greater than the previous ones!”

The white-robed youth casually tossed the master aside and gazed upon the black vortex, his face filled with surprise.

At his level, he could readily discern that the spatial vibrations emanating from this secret realm entrance were far more powerful than those previously occupied by his fellow disciples.

This meant the secret realm beyond the entrance was also far greater.

“It was worth the trip!”

The white-robed youth smiled, about to enter the secret realm.

Suddenly, he snorted again, waved his hand, and several beams of light shot out.

The next moment, several faint sounds echoed around the valley, and several life auras instantly dissipated.

“A mere ant, dare you peek at me?”

The white-robed youth sneered disdainfully, ignoring the Xiantian realm master trembling beneath his feet. His figure flashed and disappeared into the black vortex.

A few breaths later, the figure of the young man in white robes appeared in the secret realm.

After sensing the aura within the secret realm, his face suddenly showed ecstasy.

“All five elements are present! This secret realm is actually a large secret realm with all five elements!”
