Chapter Summaries

Lu Qing asked Old Cang Long how to destroy Mo Tu Shan and all his soul fragments, then studied the sword Dao inheritance before moving to Lingming Peak to cultivate. Old Cang Long realized that Lu Qing’s cultivation had drained Lingxu Peak’s spiritual energy far faster than expected.

Lu Qing endured a terrifying Nascent Soul Tribulation in which the many laws he had comprehended manifested as additional trials, and he grasped how to devour tribulations through the Myriad Tribulations Undying Heavenly Witch Body.

• Lu Qing realized that tribulations could be devoured and refined, then used the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd to accelerate his absorption of the law tribulations and tribulation energy.
• The Great Dao rewarded Lu Qing with strange spiritual essence energy, which he absorbed to break through to Nascent Soul Six Tribulations.

After surviving the law tribulation, Lu Qing reached the Nascent Soul Six Tribulations and considered returning to the Tian Yuan Great World to obtain resources and settle old debts.
