Chapter 1152: Chapter 713: Secluded Comprehension, Returning Ruins Secret Realm_2
Upon leaving a batch of talismans on the Holy Mountain, Lu Qing returned once more to Jiuli Village.
After returning home, seeing that Little Yan and Han Lingshuang were engrossed in cultivation, he did not disturb them. Instead, he left a message and secretly took Little Li into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, arriving at the valley where the Jade Cave was located.
After offering a brief prayer to Li Weitian, Lu Qing entered the Jade Cave.
Although several decades had passed, apart from the spiritual energy becoming denser, the Jade Cave showed no other changes.
Sensing Lu Qing’s arrival, the puppet avatar emerged from the quiet room.
Seeing the puppet avatar, an odd feeling arose in Lu Qing’s heart.
This puppet avatar, having been in deep cultivation within the Jade Cave for many years, had made considerable progress in cultivation and had now reached the Golden Core Third Turn.
However, because it was a puppet, it hadn’t undergone the trials of the Heavenly Tribulation, thus forming a Void Pill within its body.
As such, its foundation was somewhat lacking compared to a genuine Golden Core Realm.
Yet, because the divine soul within this puppet avatar was a strand of the Divine Soul Seed that Lu Qing had separated out in the past, possessing a substantial portion of his memories, its mastery of Taoist skills surpassed that of ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators.
Thus, ordinary Golden Core Third Turn cultivators would have a hard time being a match for this puppet avatar.
"I plan to cultivate here for a while, you stand as my protector in the meantime."
Lu Qing instructed the puppet avatar.
The puppet avatar did not speak, merely nodding slightly before sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing this, Lu Qing did not pay much mind.
The puppet avatar and he were essentially one; it was simply a puppet containing a portion of his memory and hadn’t developed its own spiritual sense.
In having it guard the entrance, it was tantamount to him separating a strand of heart and spirit to protect himself.
If the Divine Soul Seed he separated could form independent consciousness, Lu Qing wouldn’t have cultivated this secret technique in the first place, and would even have destroyed it outright.
The secrets on his person were too many, so how could he leave such a significant potential threat?
After instructing the puppet avatar, Lu Qing turned to examine the array runes on the cave wall.
With Lu Qing’s current mastery of arrays, the formations within the Jade Cave had long ceased to hold any secrets from him.
He could tell that a cultivator skilled in the way of talismans at the Primordial Spirit Realm most likely set up the arrangements that evolved into this Jade Cave.
Even within the Divine Talisman Sect, their status would likely not be low.
After watching for a while, Lu Qing suddenly sighed.
The legacy of the Divine Talisman Sect had greatly aided him on his cultivation path.
To say nothing of other things, merely the various talismans he produced leveraging the rune legacy in the Little Cang Realm earned him a substantial fortune in spirit stones.
And those spirit stones laid a very solid foundation for his cultivation path.
Not to mention his ability to craft Teleportation Jade Talismans and later roam freely within Zhou Tian City, manipulating a group of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators as he pleased.
All of this stemmed from the deep array mastery that the Divine Talisman Sect’s legacy imparted to him.
"It’s a pity that this journey through the starry skies hasn’t yielded any information about the cultivators who departed from the homeland world in the previous cultivation era."
The starry sky is too vast.
There are countless cultivation worlds just within the Great Origin Immortal Domain.
Lu Qing had no idea where that group of cultivators went after they left the homeland world on the Breaking Realm Ship thousands of years ago.
Whether they crossed that broad space barrier, or where they eventually ended up.
Without any clues, finding out these things is like finding a needle in a haystack.
At least, in the Heavenly Origin Great World, he hadn’t discovered any information regarding this matter.
Thus, he was unable to know whether the Divine Talisman Sect still existed, let alone gather any news about Little Li’s parents.
Retracting his gaze, Lu Qing then moved into the quiet room, sitting cross-legged.
In recent days, he had been very busy, having dealt with most matters, and now he finally had time to handle his own matters.
And for him, the most important matter was undoubtedly cultivation.
After concentrating for a while and completely calming his heart and spirit, Lu Qing activated the learning mode of his superpower, entering a state of cultivation.
His main focus in coming to the Jade Cave this time was to cultivate the "Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter" he obtained from that sinister elder.
This divine soul secret technique was exceedingly mystical.
Once successfully cultivated, it would be akin to having nine lives.
Even though Lu Qing currently had myriad life-saving cards, who would complain about having too few means of self-preservation?
Moreover, as a divine soul secret technique, pondering this secret art could greatly aid his understanding of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
As the superpower activated, Lu Qing entered the deepest level of meditation, and a profound aura of sudden enlightenment emanated from him.
Although the "Fouyou Heaven and Earth Life Chapter" was incredibly mysterious, it was quickly comprehended by him, with various insights arising in his mind.
...
While Lu Qing was in seclusion within the Jade Cave, in a vast world within the Great Origin Immortal Domain.
In a gigantic palace, dozens of formidable figures sat in two rows.
Sitting at the head was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple dragon robe, possessing a commanding presence.
"Everyone, how do you plan to respond to the ten-thousand-year appearance of the Star Sea Returning Ruins Secret Realm this time?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s question, the other powerful figures were subtly shaken.
After a moment of silence, a figure spoke, "Clan Leader, the emergence of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is no trivial matter. At that time, not only our Immortal Clan, but other powerful forces will also be eyeing it, and seizing the opportunities within might not be easy."
"Hmph! So what if they are eyeing it? To enter the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, one must possess a token.
In the Great Origin Immortal Domain, besides our Immortal Clan, there are not many forces that also possess tokens.
Without a token, other forces can only look on helplessly and have no part in it!"
Another powerful figure sneered coldly.
"It’s true what you say, but those forces that possess tokens are no easy adversaries, like the Sky-breaking Sword Sect, Black and White Temple, and Netherworld Palace. In terms of power, they might surpass even our Immortal Clan."
Hearing the mention of these names, the others’ auras fluctuated slightly.
For they knew that dealing with these powerful enemies would not be easy.
Only the one who sneered earlier maintained a cold demeanor, "Even if it’s the Sky-breaking Sword Sect or Black and White Temple, what of it? As descendants of the Immortal Clan, are we to fear them?"
"This is not a matter of fear, but rather..."
"Thirteen, you continually bolster others’ spirit while diminishing our Immortal Clan’s prestige, what is your intention? Are you suggesting we forfeit this chance to enter the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, surrendering the opportunities within to others?
Do you realize this is our greatest opportunity to restore the Immortal Clan’s glory and reclaim dominion over the Great Origin Immortal Domain, how can we possibly retreat!"
"Seventh Brother, that’s not what I meant, it’s just..."
"Enough!"
As the two argued, the imposing middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe interjected, halting the debate.
"You are both Primordial Spirit Realm Great Powers, bickering like this is hardly becoming."
At the clan leader’s words, the two figures ceased their quarrel, both falling silent.
"Seventh Brother is right, the matter of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm is gravely important, and it pertains to our opportunity to restore the glory of the Immortal Clan; we absolutely cannot let it slip by."
