Refining Source Qi, Tribulation Cloud!

"Master's cultivation has broken through again."

Lu Qing sensed the change in the Old Doctor's aura and was pleasantly surprised.

Not long after, the Old Doctor opened his eyes, his aura subsided, and he returned to the appearance of an ordinary old man.

Even the aura of Source Qi was completely suppressed.

"Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough in cultivation."

Lu Qing offered his congratulations immediately.

"This Source Qi is indeed profound; no wonder it has driven so many martial arts experts mad."

The Old Doctor sighed.

He had only completed the initial refinement, yet his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Major Accomplishment stage, and he was only a hair's breadth away from the Innate Perfection Realm.

Once he accumulates more experience, his advancement to the Innate Realm Completion will be just around the corner.

More importantly, the Source Qi is now Qi Sea in his Dantian, gradually merging into his body.

The Old Doctor could sense that once the Source Qi was fully integrated into his body, his physical constitution and aptitude would likely undergo a dramatic transformation.

Moreover, the Old Doctor also sensed it.

This Source Qi also contains a profound meaning that encompasses all things.

If he can glean some insight from it, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the improvement of his own realm.

"A Qing, I have already refined the Source Qi to a preliminary stage, and I can control its aura so that it does not leak out."

"Now it's your turn to refine it," the Old Doctor said.

Lu Qing looked at Xiao Li and saw that it was still asleep and seemed unlikely to wake up anytime soon.

So I decided to stop waiting.

He nodded and said, "Alright, but Master, once I refine this Source Qi, I should officially step into the Innate Realm. Please keep a close eye on me."

"You're finally about to break through?" the Old Doctor exclaimed in delight.

He knew that his disciple had long since reached the Acquired Realm acquired realm, and even his Divine Soul Power was stronger than his own.

He had been suppressing his cultivation level and had not made a breakthrough for some reason.

Seeing that Lu Qing was finally about to make a breakthrough, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Old Doctor was also a little curious. "A Qing, why haven't you made any breakthroughs all this time? Is it because of this Source Qi?"

"That's only part of the reason." Lu Qing shook his head. "As for the detailed reasons, I will explain them to you, Master, after I break through."

When Lu Qing and the others entered the house, the huge White Vortex in the sky had already disappeared.

The evolution of the rules between heaven and earth has officially entered a completely new level and has become completely stable.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Qing's desire to break through reached its peak.

He felt he couldn't hold on any longer if he didn't break through.

"Alright, then you break through first."

The Old Doctor also noticed something amiss and immediately said...

Lu Qing drew the Source Qi that had been wrapped in his true qi into his body.

Once the Source Qi enters the body, it settles in the Dantian (Qi Sea).

Lu Qing immediately used his mind to refine it.

The next moment, with a loud bang, his consciousness entered a profound state, and a great deal of insight arose from his heart.

"So that's how it is. This Source Qi can not only reshape one's physical attributes and aptitude, but also transform one into a peerless genius rarely seen in the world."

The essence contained within, encompassing and evolving all things, is also a great opportunity.

Even grasping just one or two aspects of the underlying principles can bring immense benefits.

Subconsciously, Lu Qing activated his Supernatural Ability cultivation state, absorbing the Dao Rhyme aura within the Source Qi with all his might.

As Lu Qing entered a meditative state, he focused intently on comprehending and absorbing the Source Qi.

Within the Holy City, the struggle for the Source Qi is gradually coming to an end.

In a certain alley, the ground was littered with corpses, many of whom were powerful Martial Artist with strong auras and Innate Realm potential.

However, the once high and mighty Innate Realm expert has now turned into a corpse and died a violent death.

Amidst the corpses strewn across the ground, a burly man, panting heavily, supported himself with a long sword.

He had several deep wounds on his body, some so deep that the bone was visible, which was quite terrifying.

However, the Brawny Man paid no attention to his injuries at this moment.

He looked at the shimmering light in his hand, and laughed maniacally.

"Finally, I stood at the end, and this opportunity has finally fallen into my hands!"

Recalling what had happened, the big man was filled with lingering fear.

Originally, he and his Senior Brother came here together to chase this stream of light.

As it happened, they saw the stream of light enter the body of a young man in the Tendons and Bones Realm.

Without saying a word, he and his Senior Brother killed the boy.

And that stream of light reappeared after the boy died.

Just as they were about to seize the radiant light, another group of powerful individuals emerged, eager to snatch the opportunity.

Some of them were just as skilled as their Senior Brother.

Fortunately, the Senior Brother had cultivated together for many years and had excellent teamwork. In the end, they joined forces and killed all the outsiders.

But who would have thought that just as they were about to kill all the enemies, his Senior Brother suddenly turned against them and stabbed him in the heart with his sword.

Recalling his Senior Brother's ruthless sword strike, the Brawny Man's heart clenched.

If he hadn't accidentally obtained a Divine Weapon- grade Heart-Protecting Mirror during his early travels, he probably would have been pierced through the heart by his Senior Brother's sword and died on the spot.

"Senior Brother, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm incredibly lucky to have a Divine Weapon, the Heart-Protecting Mirror, which protected me from your ultimate technique, the Heart -Heart Piercing Sword."

The Brawny Man stared at the head of his Senior Brother, who lay dead with his eyes wide open, his face still pale.

Although he took advantage of his Senior Brother's momentary lapse in concentration to cut off his head.

However, he still suffered a serious injury. His Senior Brother's Heart Piercing Sword was no joke. Even with the protection of Divine Weapon, his internal organs were still shaken and bled by the powerful shockwave.

"However, this opportunity is ultimately mine. Don't worry, Senior Brother. Although you are ruthless, I will not be unjust."

"When I refine this opportunity and become an unparalleled powerhouse, I will fulfill the vow we made together before our master and revive our Ming Mountain Sect."

The Brawny Man's face hardened as he swallowed the shimmering light from his hand.

However, just as he was about to leave and find a secluded place to refine his destiny.

A Black Figure appeared behind him without him noticing.

The next moment, the Brawny Man shuddered, staring in disbelief at the hand protruding from his chest.

On that palm, a red heart was beating rapidly.

As for the Divine Weapon that had saved his life, the Heart-Protecting Mirror, it had already fallen onto his senior Senior Brother's corpse.

"How... is this possible..."

The Brawny Man's face was filled with disbelief.

His Divine Soul Power was constantly distributed throughout his body, keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding movements.

Why was he completely unaware when someone touched him from behind? The Brawny Man strained to turn his head behind him, trying to see the face of the person who attacked him.

The Black Figure trembled slightly, and black energy appeared in his palm. He crushed the heart of the Brawny Man and quickly absorbed all his life essence.

Feeling the rapid loss of his vital energy, the Brawny Man's eyes widened suddenly, revealing an indescribable fear.

"A demon... a person of the demonic path..."

With those words, his vital energy drained away even faster.

His whole body began to shrink, and soon he became emaciated, his life force completely dissipated.

Even in death, the Brawny Man couldn't see clearly who had attacked him.

As the Brawny Man died, a stream of light suddenly emerged from his body, attempting to fly into the sky.

But the next moment, a hand shrouded in black mist gently stopped it and held it in its grasp.

"The third Source Qi, very good. With these three Source Qi, my Demon Body can finally be truly condensed."

Even with his usual cold demeanor, the Black Figure couldn't help but reveal a look of wild joy.

But soon, he frowned again.

"These Daoist priests are really persistent. Oh well, I've already got the three strands of Source Qi, it's time to leave."

Once I've fully mastered my Demon Body, dealing with these old fogies will be a piece of cake!

After saying that, the Black Figure put the Source Qi into a jade bottle, swayed for a moment, and disappeared into the alley.

Just moments after the Black Figure disappeared, several Daoist priests dressed in robes suddenly appeared in the alley.

If Lin Zhi Rui were here, he would definitely recognize one of them as the Taoist Yang Ming from Green Goat Temple who had mocked Hanging Sky Mountain on the Holy Mountain.

"He got away again!"

Taoist Yang Ming ignored the corpses scattered on the ground, and after sensing the aura in the alley with his Divine Soul Power, he said with some annoyance.

He immediately took out a Bagua Compass and activated it with his mind.

The pointer on the Bagua Compass began to spin rapidly.

"Senior Brother Yangming, are you sure the black-robed man who just stole a ray of light from us is a member of the demonic path?" a Daoist priest asked.

"No mistake, although that guy disguised himself well, I could tell from his aura the moment I smelled it that it was pure demonic aura!"

Taoist Yang Ming affirmed as he activated the compass.

"But weren't those remnants of the demonic path from back then completely wiped out by our Four Great Secret Realms and the Holy Mountain? This person's cultivation is not shallow, so where did he learn such pure demonic techniques?" the Daoist asked, puzzled.

"It's precisely because of this strange situation that we want to capture him. Unfortunately, flying is prohibited in the Holy City, and even our Artifact cannot fly."

Otherwise, how could this wicked rat have run away for so long?

Okay, I've figured out the direction he went. Follow me!

Seeing the direction where the compass needle finally stopped, Taoist Yang Ming sensed it for a moment and immediately used his movement technique to chase after it.

Seeing this, the other Daoists did not hesitate and also gave chase.

Although they longed to continue vying for opportunities, the Abbot had told them before they left that no matter what happened, they had to listen to their Senior Brother Yangming.

Moreover, they had already obtained several strands of light, so if they divided them up, each person could still get one.

So let's listen to Senior Brother Yangming and subdue the demons first.

Anyway, there was a wisp of light on that black-robed man, so if we could capture him, it wouldn't be a complete loss.

The Daoists of Green Goat Temple, led by Taoist Yang Ming, searched for the black-robed man's whereabouts in the Holy City.

However, the man in black robes was also extremely powerful.

Even if they possess magical Artifact that can track auras, they often find that he slips away before they can catch up with him.

Damn it!

Having lost sight of the man in black once again, Taoist Yang Ming's face showed annoyance.

That little devil was far too slippery; he tricked him several times along the way.

He vowed that when he caught him, he would torture him severely to avenge this mockery!

Just as Taoist Yang Ming took out his compass, intending to continue searching for the whereabouts of the man in black robes.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.

Just as he was shocked and wanted to figure out what was going on,

A Daoist priest behind him suddenly pointed in a direction in the sky and exclaimed in surprise, "What's that?"

Taoist Yang Ming looked up and followed the direction his Junior Brother pointed.

Then, the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Tribulation Cloud?! How could this damned thing appear here?!"

"What Tribulation Cloud? Senior Brother Yangming, do you recognize that thing?" a Daoist asked.

However, Taoist Yang Ming was in no mood to answer this question at the moment.

His mind was in turmoil. He stared intently at the gray cloud in the sky, trying to confirm whether it was what he was thinking.

What is that?

"Clouds? How can there be clouds at such a low altitude, and they're even gray?"

"What a terrifying aura! Could it be that another extraordinary opportunity is about to emerge?"

Just as Taoist Yang Ming and the others discovered the gray cloud.

In other parts of the Holy City, many people also witnessed this strange scene.

After all, the appearance of that gray cloud was truly bizarre, and it also exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

Anyone with even a little cultivation could not possibly fail to sense that terrifying aura that sent shivers down their spines.

"Tribulation Cloud? The rules of heaven and earth have only just stabilized, how could there be Tribulation Cloud?"

Just like Taoist Yang Ming and the others, the black-robed man, separated by several streets, was also staring in astonishment at the gray clouds in the sky.

His origins are mysterious, but he possesses knowledge far exceeding his cultivation level.

Naturally, one could immediately recognize that the gray cloud in the sky was an absolute Tribulation Cloud.

But it was precisely because he recognized Gray Cloud's origins that he was even more astonished.

After all, this kind of thing doesn't just appear out of nowhere.

Normally, only when something extraordinary is about to be born will it touch upon the taboos of the rules of heaven and earth, causing Tribulation Cloud to appear.

"What is about to be born, a living being or a treasure?"

The man in black robes had just shaken off the annoying Daoist priests from Green Goat Temple and was about to leave the city.

However, the appearance of the Tribulation Cloud made him unable to move.

If he were to miss out on the discovery of a Exotic Treasure, he would surely regret it.

Moreover, he felt that there was a high probability that Exotic Treasure was about to be born.

After all, the rules of heaven and earth in this world have only just evolved and taken shape, so it is impossible for such a heaven-defying person to trigger the appearance of Tribulation Cloud.

Even those three old guys on the Holy Mountain probably couldn't do that.

Those three old guys, though their cultivation was profound, hadn't yet reached such a heaven-defying level.

Therefore, there must be some Exotic Treasure about to be born.

This place is Holy City that has existed for countless millennia, so it's quite plausible that it contains rare Exotic Treasure from the Cultivation Era.

Thinking of this, a greedy glint flashed in the black-robed man's eyes. Without further hesitation, he immediately used his movement technique to rush over there.
