Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Retreat Again, Five-Colored Winged Snake

“No wonder Senior Yan was so worried earlier. The difference between the Jindan realm and the Foundation Establishment realm is truly a chasm.”

High in the sky, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light, swiftly returning to the village.

As he soared, he sensed the changes that followed his breakthrough.

The most obvious was the ability to fly, granted after reaching the Jindan realm.

After achieving the Jindan stage, a cultivator can soar into the azure sky, achieving flight, without the aid of magical instruments. Simply by oscillating with mana, they can soar into the azure sky.

And this is only the most basic flight ability.

If one cultivates specialized flight techniques, their speed can be even greater.

For example, Lu Qing’s current speed, even when flying solely with mana, is comparable to his previous speed using the golden boat.

Once he masters the various Jindan techniques, especially flight techniques,

his speed will increase dramatically. Traveling

a hundred miles in an instant will be a piece of cake.

Beyond flight, there are also physical strength, mana power, and the power of the soul.

In every way, Lu Qing was vastly stronger than before his breakthrough.

This was a qualitative difference, a true transformation of life.

The gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Golden Core Realm was truly enormous.

Especially for a Perfect Golden Core like Lu Qing, the difference was even more dramatic.

The two were simply not on the same level, incomparable.

As for the young man in white robes, he had previously defeated him in his Foundation Establishment state, simply because his foundation was too weak.

Lu Qing guessed that he was at most a low-grade Golden Core, otherwise he wouldn’t have been killed so easily.

After entering the Golden Core Realm, even without the use of the golden boat, Lu Qing’s speed remained impressive.

It wasn’t long before he returned to Jiuli Village and landed in front of the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

“Ah Qing!”

Ever since Lu Qing announced his intention to transcend the tribulation and achieve a breakthrough, the old doctor had been worried.

Especially since Lu Qing began his formal tribulation, the terrifying aura of the heavenly tribulation could be faintly felt even in Jiuli Village, causing the old doctor to become uneasy and unable to concentrate on his cultivation.

So he simply stopped practicing and waited for news from Lu Qing.

Now that he saw him back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Master, I’m back.”

Lu Qing smiled at the sight of his master.

“Did you successfully overcome the tribulation?” the old doctor asked.

“Yes, I have luckily survived the thunder tribulation and have successfully entered the Golden Core Realm.” Lu Qing nodded.

“Good, good.”

The old doctor’s face suddenly beamed.

He sensed Lu Qing’s aura and found it vast and profound, with a sense of harmony and perfection.

He had also felt this aura before from the white-robed man.

Lu Qing’s was not as overbearing and ostentatious, but its depth was far greater.

“Master, please don’t let anyone know that I have entered the Golden Core Realm for the time being. This way, we can be in the dark while the enemy is in the light, and our chances of victory will be greater.”

“I understand.” The old doctor understood.

He was the only one who knew about Lu Qing’s tribulation, so it was easy to keep it a secret.

“Also, Master, I’ve just broken through. I’m afraid I’ll have to go into seclusion for a while to familiarize myself with the power of the Golden Core Realm,” Lu Qing said again.

“Okay, you go into seclusion first. Cultivation is more important. I’ll be watching over the village,” the old doctor said immediately.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Qing returned to his home again.

However, this time, he didn’t rush to cultivate. Instead, he focused his mind on the Lihuo Cauldron.

“Master!”

In the spiritual weapon space, the demon cultivator saw Lu Qing’s figure and immediately came forward happily.

Just when he was about to salute Lu Qing, he suddenly froze again.

He felt the breath of Lu Qing’s soul, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes.

“Master, have you entered the golden elixir realm?”

“Get away, you devil!”

Before Lu Qing could answer, a ray of flame fell on the devil cultivator, blasting him away, rolling continuously, and flying to the corner.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of “Yan” appeared next to Lu Qing. After looking at the demon cultivator with disgust, he saluted Lu Qing and said, “Young Master.”

Being so humiliated, a trace of resentment flashed in the demon cultivator’s eyes, and he quickly restrained himself.

He knew that in this spiritual weapon space, he could not defeat this reptile weapon spirit no matter what.

“After I get my body back, one day I will beat you reptile to the ground and beg for mercy on your knees!”

the demon cultivator thought with great resentment.

But soon, his vision went dark, and when he came to, he was trapped in a spatial cage.

He immediately understood that this was the reptilian spirit’s doing, not wanting him to overhear its conversation with its master.

“Damn that reptilian spirit!”

The demon cultivator’s hatred grew even stronger.

But soon, his attention was drawn to something else.

“Master has truly entered the Golden Core Realm. How long has it been?”

Although the demon cultivator had formed a soul contract with Lu Qing, becoming enslaved by Lu Qing’s spirit and able to communicate with

him at any time, this communication was one-way .

Unless Lu Qing initiated contact, he could not sense any information from Lu Qing.

Therefore, he had no prior knowledge of Lu Qing’s soul changes.

This was why he had been so shocked. After not seeing him for a while, Lu Qing’s spirit aura had grown so powerful, far beyond the realm of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The implications revealed by that spirit were so profound that even he felt his heart tremble.

“Senior, you’re still so envious of demons.”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Yan imprison the demon cultivator in a spatial cage.

“This demon cub has ill intentions. He always tries to deceive you, young master, and reclaim his demonic body. In my opinion, you should have destroyed him long ago.”

Yan snorted coldly, not concealing his dislike for the demon cultivator.

“This demon is still useful. Let’s keep him for now.”

Lu Qing didn’t have much of a fondness for demon cultivators, but his background suggested he might still be of some use to him in the future, so he wanted to keep this fragment of the demon cultivator’s spirit.

“By the way, Senior Yan, you summoned me in. What’s the matter?”

Indeed, it was Yan who had summoned Lu Qing from the Lihuo Cauldron earlier, which was why he hadn’t practiced immediately and had instead entered mentally. Yan

was speechless for a moment. “Young master, have you forgotten something?”

“Forgot something?” Lu Qing was stunned.

“That’s it.”

With a wave of his hand, Yan’s two separate spatial cages appeared before them.

In one, the headless corpse of the white-robed youth lay.

In the other, a colorful winged snake slithered about, occasionally banging its head against the surrounding spatial barrier, attempting to break free.

“This little snake has been roaming around in this spatial cage ever since you threw it in, without stopping for a moment.

Young Master, when do you plan to subdue it?”

Yan asked helplessly.
