Chapter 1198 - 738: The Immortal Palace Opens, Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation!
Chapter 1198: Chapter 738: The Immortal Palace Opens, Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation!
Mo Tushan’s mind moved as he put away the black tower, then proceeded to walk out.
"Let’s go. Earlier, Yu Jian and the others were outside, challenging us and insulting the Black and White Temple.
Because I had to control this Nine Abyss Demon Tower, I didn’t have time to deal with their barking. Once we enter the Immortal Palace, it will be their time to die.
I swear I will refine them all, making them the nourishment for this Demon Tower of mine!"
...
"Why hasn’t Ah Qing awakened with such commotion?"
On the other side, inside the grand hall where Lu Qing was, Little Li had already stood up, eyes filled with anxiety.
The quake of the Immortal Palace was so significant that it naturally drew attention early on.
Unaware of what was happening, Little Li immediately panicked.
But what worried him even more was that amid such a great tremor, Lu Qing remained quietly sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, eyes closed in cultivation, showing no signs of waking.
This made Little Li both anxious and unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, after a while, he finally saw Lu Qing slowly open his eyes.
"I’ve finally stabilized the Fourth Tribulation realm."
Lu Qing felt the surging power inside himself, eyes filled with emotion.
At the same time, he marveled at his luck.
If he hadn’t discovered that Elixir Hall, acquiring a considerable amount of Nourishing God Pills, how could he have broken through multiple realms in such a short time and stepped into the Fourth Tribulation realm?
Indeed, after years of secluded cultivation, continuously refining Nourishing God Pills and other elixirs that increase cultivation at the Primordial Spirit level.
Not long ago, Lu Qing successfully passed through the fourth Primordial Spirit Tribulation, officially stepping into the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation.
After more than a month of accumulation, he had now completely solidified his Fourth Tribulation cultivation, fully grasping the explosively increased power following the breakthrough.
However, with this, he had also exhausted the cultivation resources he had harvested from the outer palace.
Although he had obtained many other treasures, they were of no practical use in increasing his strength.
Of course, Lu Qing was still extremely satisfied with this.
After all, if he were to cultivate on his own, even with enough Spirit Stones, it would take at least several decades to step into the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation.
Now, not only has the time of cultivation been significantly reduced, but he also saved a large amount of Spirit Stones. How could he not be satisfied?
"Ah Qing!" Little Li rushed over as soon as he saw Lu Qing waking up. "The whole secret realm has suddenly started shaking. Is the secret realm going to close?"
"I’m not sure either." Lu Qing shook his head. "We will know once we go out and take a look."
Lu Qing had naturally sensed the fluctuations of the secret realm.
But as he said, he was indeed unclear about the source of this fluctuation.
Perhaps only by going outside to investigate will he find out the reason.
Fortunately, his strength had greatly increased now. Even if he encounters Mo Tushan again, he won’t have to fear anymore.
He truly had enough confidence to face other forces directly.
"Are we really going out?"
Little Li’s face became somewhat apprehensive upon hearing it.
He had indeed heard from Lu Qing that among the strong ones outside, none were easy to deal with, especially those like the Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit.
Thinking that they might encounter such powerful beings was unsettling for him.
"Don’t worry." Lu Qing patted the little guy’s head, comforting him. "Enter the Leaving Fire Tripod later; I’ll have ’Yan’ lift some restrictions so you can sense the outside situation."
"Okay, but Ah Qing, be careful." Little Li advised.
He knew that with his strength, staying outside would only distract Lu Qing.
"Rest assured, the current me won’t necessarily fear them anymore." Lu Qing smiled.
Only then did Little Li recall that, over the past few years, he had witnessed Lu Qing survive two more Primordial Spirit Tribulations, and now he’s at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation realm, feeling much more at ease.
He knew Lu Qing’s foundation was extremely robust; every breakthrough led to a massive surge in strength.
Remembering how he could escape from an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit during his First Tribulation, now with greatly enhanced strength, he would surely be more confident in ensuring his safety.
"Yan, open some restrictions so Little Li can see the situation outside."
After bringing Little Li into the Leaving Fire Tripod, Lu Qing instructed.
Previously, when he kept Little Li, he completely sealed the Leaving Fire Tripod.
He did this to avoid any potential harm from the powers permeating it during battles.
However, the current him has enough confidence to prevent such a situation.
"Mo Tushan, next time we meet, I’ll give you a big surprise."
Lu Qing murmured to himself as he gazed ahead.
Then, with a step, he disappeared from the grand hall.
"Is this disturbance caused by that vast Immortal Palace?"
Outside the barrier of restrictions, only then did Lu Qing discover that the cause of the secret realm’s trembling was the vast Immortal Palace situated at the very center of the secret realm.
At this moment, the Immortal Palace radiated glows, emitting immense power that caused the entire secret realm to shake.
Lu Qing stared at the Immortal Palace, activating his superpower, intending to see if he could discover any information.
When he had first entered the secret realm, he had attempted it, but perhaps due to insufficient realm, he couldn’t gather any useful information from the Immortal Palace.
Now having surpassed three layers of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation and stepped into the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation, with his strength greatly increased, he wondered if it might be different.
Yet, Lu Qing was proved wrong.
After watching for a while, the Immortal Palace remained unchanged, not divulging any information.
Just as he wanted to continue probing, he witnessed the Immortal Palace’s brilliance suddenly surge, becoming exceptionally dazzling.
Even with Lu Qing’s current strength, he couldn’t help but instinctively close his eyes.
Upon reopening them, he discovered that the Immortal Palace’s glows had subsided, returning to its usual state.
It seemed that what he had sensed earlier was just an illusion.
However, Lu Qing knew it couldn’t have been an illusion; the Immortal Palace must have undergone some change.
Unfortunately, he knew too little to determine what exactly had changed.
What he was certain of was that this was definitely not the secret realm preparing to close but something of greater importance.
"It seems I still need to go over and take a look to determine what exactly happened."
Lu Qing pondered briefly, then without hesitation, transformed into a wisp of smoke and headed toward the Immortal Palace.
His understanding of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was still too limited.
When changes occur, he cannot ascertain the reasons.
Previously due to strength reasons, he didn’t want to interact with other forces.
But now, he could slightly change his approach, perhaps the idle move he laid could come in handy.
Back when Lu Qing was just at the Primordial Spirit First Tribulation, his speed was already faster than Mo Tushan. With the strength greatly enhanced, his speed would naturally be more terrifying.
Even if he wasn’t using his full strength, he still swiftly traversed vast palaces.
However, as he passed by those dozens of largest palaces, Lu Qing suddenly stopped.
Because he discovered, there was no more aura in these palaces; they had been vacated and completely abandoned by all forces.
"Have they all gone toward the Immortal Palace?" Lu Qing speculated in his heart.
He wasn’t sure, but this was evidently good news for him.
Previously, because those forces were present, he couldn’t download the inheritance from the restrictions of these dozens of palaces.
Now that those strong individuals had left, it was a perfect opportunity.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing immediately changed his plan, deciding not to head straight to the Immortal Palace for the moment.
Turning himself, he arrived in front of one of the massive palaces, activated his superpower, and began downloading the inheritance.
After all, with his current understanding of the [Xuanyuan Restriction], even downloading all restrictions from these dozens of massive palaces wouldn’t take much time.
As for the Immortal Palace, given that he was already a step later than others, wasting a bit more time wasn’t significant.
Additionally, he believed that within such a short period, those forces, even if they entered, wouldn’t likely achieve significant gains.
After all, seizing treasures from even the outer palaces took considerable effort.
The treasures inside the Immortal Palace must be even harder to obtain.
While Lu Qing weaved through major palaces, downloading the inheritance.
He was unaware that outside the Immortal Palace, the air was tense, ready to erupt.
