Only the Long River of Time they inhabited was merely a tributary.
It could not sustain the pursuit of a higher Great Dao.
Among the powerful figures born in these worlds, some possessed astonishingly monstrous talent.
It was not that none had attained the Dao. Their numbers were far too few, but few did not mean nonexistent.
After attaining the Dao, they naturally came to understand everything about themselves.
Lu Qing knew little about how such Dao Lords had cultivated and pursued the Dao before, but a tribulation capable of turning the illusory into the real had never been so simple.
Lu Qing took up that strand of cause and effect, then chose to wield it as a blade, cutting open that expanse of Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Lu Qing commanded reincarnation and had set foot in time. On a certain level, these waves, which would strip ordinary people of their lifespan, could no longer harm his Great Dao.
These sounds came from tribulation qi.

"No, impossible..."
A voice murmured to itself.
"A disturbance caused by a powerful figure from a later age can actually wear away the tribulation qi here. Who knows how it was done?"
"What is this..."
