Chapter 306: The Light of the Flesh, Famous Throughout the World

After examining the black jade bottle, Lu Qing picked up the white jade bottle.

The white jade bottle also had a restriction, but due to Xuanming’s death, the restriction was very weak.

Lu Qing effortlessly broke it open.

As he expected, this jade bottle also contained the Origin Qi.

And the quantity was several times greater than that in the black jade bottle.

But that was understandable.

Xuanming and his companions, armed with magical weapons and numerous experts,

were naturally fearless in their quest for the Origin Qi, and no one dared to stand in their way.

Unlike the black-robed man, who could only cower in fear and act in secret,

Lu Qing was delighted to see the Origin Qi in the two jade bottles.

Although he had suspected that the jade bottles might contain Origin Qi,

he had not expected such a large quantity.

The two jade bottles combined contained over ten Origin Qi.

“Original Qi can not only transform a person, elevating their aptitude, but also transform a mediocre

person into a genius. It also possesses a mysterious Dao rhythm that embraces and evolves all things.

The original Qi that originally belonged to me was absorbed into my body by the power of the tribulation thunder during the daytime tribulation.

This has greatly increased my physical strength, far exceeding that of a typical Innate Realm Perfection.

But I can sense that this is not my limit.

If I can refine more of the original Qi, my body will be even stronger!”

After surviving the thunder tribulation and integrating a stream of original Qi, Lu Qing’s body became so strong that even the Third Saint Lord was astonished.

But Lu Qing could sense that this was not his limit.

His body still had a strong desire for original Qi.

If he could absorb and refine more of it, his body would surely be further strengthened.

Immediately, Lu Qing put away his other belongings and moved to a corner of the room.

Using his fingers as swords, he carved a simple aura-concealing formation on the ground.

Then, he sat cross-legged within the formation, picked up the black jade bottle, opened his mouth, and swallowed a stream of primordial energy. As

the primordial energy entered his dantian, Lu Qing immediately channeled his mind and began to refine it.

After entering the Xiantian realm, Lu Qing’s cultivation had become vastly more powerful than before. Furthermore,

his body was already fused with a stream of primordial energy.

Therefore, this time, the refining speed was much faster than the first time.

Before long, a stream of primordial energy had been refined and absorbed by Lu Qing.

Similarly, his physical body became even stronger.

Sensing that his body still hadn’t reached its limit, Lu Qing didn’t hesitate and drew out another stream of primordial energy, swallowing it and refining it.

As Lu Qing continued to absorb and refine the primordial energy, his aura grew increasingly powerful.

Had he not used the soul talisman to mask his aura, and had he not been within the formation, he would have likely alerted the powerful nearby.

“Including the Origin Qi I already absorbed, this is already the ninth.”

As Lu Qing drew another strand of Origin Qi from the jade bottle, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Nine was the number of extremes, and he could sense that his body could only hold one more strand of Origin Qi before it reached its limit.

“Having experienced the baptism of nine tribulation thunders, does that mean I can only hold nine more?

I wonder what kind of changes will occur in my body after refining this last strand of Origin Qi.”

Lu Qing’s mind shifted slightly, and he swallowed the ninth strand of Origin Qi.

As this strand of Origin Qi was refined, Lu Qing’s body finally underwent a miraculous transformation.

His skin, already as white as jade, began to glow with a faint light, and the glow grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, when Lu Qing completely refined the Origin Qi,

there was a loud boom.

Not only did the light from his body intensify, but his internal organs, blood vessels, flesh, bones, and marrow also underwent earth-shaking changes, rapidly transforming.

Finally, when all the transformations were complete, the shimmering light from Lu Qing’s body transformed into a mysterious, precious glow.

It looked not only magical but also incredibly resilient.

Amidst the light, Lu Qing opened his eyes.

He was first struck by the aura within his body. He was stunned, then his eyes lit up with wonder.

“My body is ablaze with precious light! My flesh has actually reached the level of producing precious light?”

Lu Qing was delighted.

What did it mean to be ablaze with precious light?

From the Lihuo Sect’s traditions, Lu Qing knew that in the age of immortal cultivation, there were many different paths to cultivating immortality. There were

magic cultivation, body cultivation, talisman cultivation, sword cultivation, and alchemy cultivation…

Magic cultivation used their spirits to connect with heaven and earth, activating powerful

spells and sweeping across the land. Body cultivation possessed powerful physiques, breaking spells with force, making them equally formidable.

Sword cultivation cultivated a single flying sword, shattering all spells with unparalleled sharpness…

Each method of cultivating immortality had its own unique characteristics.

Lu Qing’s cultivation of the Divine Talisman Sect’s tradition was a form of talisman cultivation.

While ordinary talisman practitioners primarily focus on carving and refining talismans, the Divine Talisman Sect’s tradition relies on cultivating a soul talisman within the acupoint between one’s eyebrows.

Compared to ordinary talisman practitioners, the aptitude requirements are even more stringent.

And what Lu Qing described as a body radiating precious light is actually a realm of physical cultivation.

Body cultivators specialize in the cultivation of the physical body, channeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Using various secret techniques, they refine themselves, strengthening their physical physiques and ultimately attaining incredible physical strength.

This process is akin to treating one’s body like a magical weapon, constantly tempering it.

In fact, truly powerful body cultivators can indeed refine their bodies to a point comparable to magical weapons.

They can even withstand the terrifying power of magical weapons with their bare hands, and even the bombardment of magical weapons remains incapable of breaking their bodies.

A distinct characteristic of a body cultivator’s cultivation at a certain level

is that, when their Qi circulates, a layer of precious light emanates from their body, resembling a magical weapon.

This light not only provides powerful defense but can also be manipulated by the body cultivator, transforming it into a sharp, powerful aura, enhancing their combat power.

This is considered a key combat characteristic of body cultivators.

“For physical cultivators, one can judge their strength by the precious light emanating from their bodies.

The most basic physical light is white, followed by red, gold, purple, and so on.

The stronger the light, the greater the strength.”

The physical light currently emanating from Lu Qing’s body was only the lowest level of white.

However, it’s important to note that even for physical cultivators, achieving this state of radiant light requires at least reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

In other words, Lu Qing’s physical strength alone is now comparable to that of a physical cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.

“If we fight again, I can crush the Third Saint Lord’s puppet Dharma body with my physical strength alone, without even resorting to supernatural powers.”

Lu Qing clenched his fist, feeling the unparalleled power within him, brimming with confidence.

Furthermore, a strong physical body is only one aspect of the equation.

In reality, after refining the nine primordial energies, Lu Qing’s potential has become unfathomable.

Even he himself couldn’t predict how high his current talent was.

“Perhaps, I should choose one or two physical cultivation methods and practice them concurrently.”

Lu Qing hadn’t even started practicing yet, but he was already radiating precious light. With

such physical talent, it would be a waste not to practice physical cultivation as well.

Coincidentally, the Lihuo Sect’s inheritance recorded some physical cultivation methods.

Although they weren’t considered advanced, they were enough for Lu Qing for the time being.

However, the continuous refining of the origin energy had already consumed a lot of Lu Qing’s energy.

So he didn’t rush into it, and planned to slowly choose a cultivation method after leaving the Holy City.

After making a plan, Lu Qing’s eyes fell on the two jade bottles in front of him.

Of the two magic jade bottles, the black jade bottle was empty, but the white jade bottle still contained five origin energies.

“Xuanming and the black-robed man are truly my lucky stars, leaving me such a great gift.”

Lu Qing re-enacted the magical jade bottle, sealing the aura of the Origin Qi.

Although he could no longer refine and absorb the Origin Qi, this rare treasure of heaven and earth remained inestimable.

If he spread the word, who knows how many powerful individuals would be willing to trade their treasures for one.

Of course, exchanging them was impossible, but Lu Qing had his own plans for the remaining Origin Qi.

After storing the two magical jade bottles in his Qiankun Yiqi bag, Lu Qing took out the magical instruments he had obtained from Xuanming.

However, after a closer inspection, Lu Qing’s interest waned.

While these instruments were rare treasures, the Demon-Subduing Vajra Pestle even reached the level of a magical weapon,

they all required unique Buddhist techniques to activate.

Lu Qing had no interest in becoming a monk, and he didn’t have any Buddhist techniques to practice.

So he simply put all the things away, intending to dispose of them when there was a suitable opportunity in the future.

After finishing all this, Lu Qing also felt a little tired.

He had experienced too many things today.

Overcoming the tribulation, beheading the monks of Xuankong Mountain, fighting with the Third Saint Lord, and just now refining the origin energy…

This series of things made even his strong mind unable to bear it.

He immediately stopped trying, extinguished the candles, and went to bed to rest.

There was no conversation that night, and the exhaustion of his mind made Lu Qing sleep very soundly that night.

However, what he didn’t know happened that night.

His deeds not only caused discussions throughout the Holy City, but also quickly spread to the outside world and spread to the entire Zhongzhou.

Especially the major sects, each of which had unique means of communication with their own innate realm powerhouses.

So almost overnight, Lu Qing’s name spread throughout Zhongzhou.

“What did you say? During the day, a divine opportunity descended upon Holy Mountain, spreading far and wide.

Within the Holy City, the first person to transcend the tribulation since the transformation of heaven and earth appeared, and it was a young man?”

In the meeting hall of a major sect, a powerful figure suddenly stood up, staring wide-eyed at the elder in charge of sect intelligence.

To either side of him, the other elders were equally astonished.

“Master, that’s right,” the elder in charge of sect intelligence said respectfully.

Then, even more devastating news was dropped.

“Not only that, Elder Chang also stated in his message that

after the young man transcended the tribulation, he went on a killing spree, slaughtering Master Xuanming and others who had emerged from the secret area of Xuankong Mountain. Even

the Third Saint Lord himself was unable to stop him.

Even the Third Saint Lord was defeated by the young man.”

“Slaughtering all the eminent monks of Xuankong Mountain and defeating the Third Saint Lord?”

The sect master and the elders were now stunned.

There was no way. Either of these events was beyond their wildest dreams.

Forget the eminent monks of Xuankong Mountain. Who among those emanating from the Four Secret Lands is easy to mess with?

And now, they’re claiming they were all slaughtered by a single young man?

And then there’s the Third Saint Lord, whose enigmatic power is most striking to everyone.

A while ago, due to the cosmic shifts, to prevent Zhongzhou from falling into chaos and fighting, the three Saint Lords personally visited the major sects.

The Third Saint Lord had come to their sect.

The sect leader and the elders still remember the Third Saint Lord’s terrifying presence.

He simply stood there, emitting no aura, yet they all felt invincible, afraid to make any move.

How could such a terrifying and enigmatic Third Saint Lord be defeated by a single young man?

For a moment, everyone was skeptical of the truth of this news.

The same thing happened to nearly every major sect in Zhongzhou.

Upon learning of the events in the Holy City during the day, the initial reaction was one of disbelief.

Once they confirmed the news was true, it was a complete sensation.

Some immediately sought to ascertain Lu Qing’s identity and background, others sought to know every detail of what had transpired in the Holy City during the day, and some even set out on a journey to personally investigate.

“Why did the first person to transcend the tribulation after the heaven and earth changes appear so quickly?”

Atop a high mountain, a terrifying figure appeared, clutching a jade token, his face livid.

“The laws of heaven and earth have only just evolved and matured, and I haven’t even had time to fully comprehend them.

And yet someone has already managed to trigger calamity clouds and successfully overcome them?”

The terrifying figure’s expression was sullen.

He had always prided himself on his unparalleled talent, unrivaled in the world.

He even looked down upon the three great Saint Lords of the Holy Mountain.

He knew that those three old turtles were only so powerful because of the Holy Mountain’s geographical advantages.

If he were in their place, and had earned the Holy Mountain’s recognition, he believed he would be even more powerful than those three.

He even showed no reverence for the so-called four secret sites.

With such a high opinion of himself, he even disdained to travel to the Holy Mountain to comprehend some ancient technique.

Anything those three old men could bring out couldn’t be some advanced technique.

He believed that with his own talent, even without ancient techniques, he could still forge his own path by comprehending the laws of heaven and earth.

Indeed, since the transformations of heaven and earth and the resurgence of spiritual energy, he had indeed gained immensely from his dedicated contemplation.

Originally, he believed he would be the first warrior in the world to break through the bottleneck and enter a new realm.

But now, sensing the message from the jade token in his hand, the terrifying figure’s heart could no longer calm down.

“The moment the heaven and earth changed, it triggered the calamity clouds and overcame the calamity.

I want to see what kind of monster you are!”

After a long time, the terrifying figure finally calmed down.

He looked at the sea of clouds before him, his eyes cold.

The next moment, he took a step forward and disappeared at the top of the mountain.
