【Download started, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%】
【Download complete. Do you wish to begin the simulation?】
Lu Qing chose simulation.
【Start simulation, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.】
【Simulation complete. Shall we begin learning?】
After seeing the hints given by his superpower, Lu Qing did not choose to learn them immediately.
Instead, he withdrew his gaze and straightened up.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, how is it?"
Mo Hongyun was wondering about this.
Although she saw Lu Qing staring at the curse mark on her chest, she didn't sense any other actions from him.
There was no contact with the curse seal, nor was there any examination of its condition using the power of the divine soul.
Seeing him stand up, I couldn't help but ask.
"I haven't figured out a solution yet, but I have some ideas. [N O V E L I G H T] However, I need more time to figure them out," Lu Qing replied. "Please don't bother me for now."
"You've got a clue?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Hongyun's eyes lit up with immense joy.
During their time together, although she still found Lu Qing mysterious like a fog, she could vaguely guess his personality.
Knowing that he generally doesn't like to boast, if he's saying he has a clue, then it must be true.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Canglan City also showed a look of joy.
"Um."
Lu Qing nodded, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to select the learning mode for his special ability.
The next moment, a wealth of insights about the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】 surged from the depths of his mind.
Lu Qing quickly absorbed these insights.
My understanding of the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】 is also improving at an astonishing rate.
"This is... enlightenment? Entering a state of enlightenment so easily?"
The Lord of Canglan City's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at the strange aura emanating from Lu Qing.
An expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
He could tell that Lu Qing seemed to be in a state of sudden enlightenment at this moment.
But is it so easy to enter a state of sudden enlightenment?
It should be noted that even someone at the Nascent Soul Realm like him needs a long period of accumulation before he can achieve a sudden enlightenment.
Lu Qing, however, achieved enlightenment with ease simply by entering a meditative state.
How could this not shock the Lord of Canglan City?
"Just what kind of monster is this young Fellow Daoist Lu? Such a person is probably a monstrous genius at the core Dao Son level in that Immortal Holy Land!"
In the mind of the City Lord of Canglan, Lu Qing's origins became increasingly mysterious.
Mo Hongyun didn't realize that Lu Qing was in a state of sudden enlightenment.
Her cultivation level was still somewhat lacking.
However, she could see that Lu Qing was indeed trying his best to help her, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes.
She had personally witnessed Lu Daoyou's extraordinary abilities many times.
She only hoped that this time, he could also create a miracle and save her from this endless abyss.
Under the watchful eyes of the two, Lu Qing's reception of the information was coming to an end.
As he received the last wisp of insight, a sense of enlightenment rose within him.
"So that's how it is. This 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】 is a spell seal formed by runes created from the power of the primordial spirit."
In essence, it is not much different from a rune array.
However, because it is formed from the power of the primordial spirit, it can be endlessly regenerated.
Like a living thing, it can become entangled with the spirit and energy of the person under its spell, which is why it is particularly difficult to deal with.
After receiving all the insights in his mind, Lu Qing finally understood the essence of the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】.
It even knows the process of casting the spell and the composition of the primordial spirit runes.
It can be said that the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】 held no secrets for him.
However, understanding is one thing, but how to break the curse on Mo Hongyun is another.
The 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】 was indeed a spell personally cast by a powerful being of the Fourth Kalpa Primordial Spirit.
The power of a fourth-level primordial spirit is incredibly strong.
Even if the primordial spirit power that makes up this curse seal is only a drop in the ocean compared to the primordial spirit of the Supreme Being of Desire.
It's not something that someone like Lu Qing, who is at the Golden Core stage, can easily resolve.
Direct action is clearly not an option; he needs to find another way to break the curse.
Without opening his eyes, Lu Qing continued to study his supernatural abilities.
They began to deduce how to break the curse seal in the safest way.
Time passed slowly, and with the help of his extraordinary abilities, Lu Qing continued to comprehend and deduce.
My understanding of the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】 is becoming increasingly profound.
Finally, a sudden realization arose in his heart.
He has completely mastered the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】 Taoist technique.
If it were to be unleashed, it would certainly be far less powerful than that of the Venerable Miaoyu, but its level of refinement is another matter.
Having fully mastered the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Mantra】, Lu Qing had some clues about how to break the spell.
To put it simply, the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】 is composed of runes formed from the power of the primordial spirit, and thus falls within the scope of the Way of Runes.
Lu Qing can now be considered a master of rune arrays, so it's not impossible for him to find a way to break the spell.
Following this line of thought, Lu Qing continued to deduce the results.
"Isn't it taking far too long for this young Fellow Daoist Lu to have his enlightenment?"
Seeing that Lu Qing was still meditating with his eyes closed, a strange Dao essence emanating from his body lingered for a long time.
The Lord of Canglan City's gaze grew increasingly shocked.
Because Lu Qing took too long to achieve enlightenment.
Even if a typical practitioner accumulates knowledge and skills and is fortunate enough to enter a state of sudden enlightenment, the time it takes will inevitably be short.
If you can get even a quarter of an hour, that's already quite remarkable.
Lu Qing has been in a state of enlightenment for almost half an hour now, but he still hasn't woken up.
He couldn't imagine how Lu Qing had managed to comprehend it and maintain such a state of enlightenment for so long.
"This person's cultivation aptitude is truly unimaginable; no wonder Gongshu Yu was no match for him at all."
"How can a mere direct descendant of a superior clan compare to such a monstrous talent?"
The Lord of Canglan City couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
They became increasingly certain that Lu Qing must have come from some extraordinary cultivation holy land.
It's even quite possible that it's some legendary, mysterious place that even the Nangong family has to look up to.
Seeing Lu Qing meditating with his eyes closed, Mo Hongyun's hope grew stronger.
The longer Lu Qing pondered, the more likely he was to have actually found a solution.
After the two waited patiently for another fifteen minutes, Lu Qing finally opened his eyes.
There was a hint of weariness in his eyes.
Even for him, the intense and demanding work of constantly deducing Dao techniques at the Nascent Soul Realm level was quite stressful.
Fortunately, his foundation was extremely deep, and his perfect golden elixir had all sorts of miraculous uses.
With just a little bit of activity, the mental and physical energy consumed begins to recover rapidly.
"Young Fellow Daoist Lu, how is it?"
Upon seeing Lu Qing wake up, the City Lord of Canglan City quickly asked.
"I've managed to come up with a solution, though we'll have to try it to see if it works," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Have you really come up with a solution?"
Mo Hongyun was stunned; the sudden surprise made her almost unable to believe it.
"We'll have to try it to know; it might not work."
Furthermore, once the curse seal is activated, it's highly likely to alert the Venerable Mystic Desire. You should be prepared.
Lu Qing said with a serious expression.
"Go ahead and try it. At worst, you'll just die. How much worse can it get?"
Mo Hongyun said firmly, her eyes filled with determination.
This was the only time in all these years that she saw hope.
If this doesn't work out, it means it's her fate, and it would be better for her to just die.
“It’s not that serious.” Lu Qing smiled. “Even if we can’t completely undo this 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】, it won’t cost you your life.”
Given Lu Qing's current level of understanding of the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】, he was confident in this.
"However, I still need to make some preparations. Please wait a moment, Lord. Also, Lord City Lord, I need some high-quality spirit jade to refine some things. Is that alright?"
"Of course! I'll have someone go to the warehouse to get it right away!"
"The Lord of Canglan City said hastily."
At his command, the old servant quickly retrieved a jade box from the storeroom and handed it to Lu Qing.
When Lu Qing opened it, he found hundreds of pieces of spirit jade of excellent quality, all of which were top-grade spirit jade.
"Young Fellow Daoist Lu, please use it as you please. If you need more, I'll have someone go and get more!"
"We don't need that many."
Lu Qing sighed inwardly. As expected of the city lord, he was incredibly wealthy and could casually take out hundreds of top-grade spirit jades.
He picked up a piece of spirit jade, hovered it in front of him, and with a thought, began to draw mysterious runes in the air, causing them to sink into the spirit jade.
"Drawing runes in the void! This young Daoist Lu actually has such attainments in the Dao of runes."
The Lord of Canglan City was slightly shaken upon seeing this scene.
He has been in seclusion in the city lord's mansion recently, leaving the affairs of the city to his steward.
If he hadn't been awakened by that demonic energy, he might not have been able to reach the Treasure Pavilion in time.
Therefore, he was not very clear about the ups and downs that had been happening in the city over the past month.
What they didn't know was that Lu Qing was actually a master talisman maker.
Lu Qing's speed in refining jade talismans was extremely fast.
According to the Lord of Canglan City, the Gongshu family will likely be coming down tomorrow.
With time running out, he could no longer afford to hide his talents.
Aside from not using any distraction techniques, he refined the talismans at almost the fastest speed.
One jade talisman after another was quickly crafted by Lu Qing.
The speed was so fast that even the Lord of Canglan City was somewhat stunned.
He had never seen anyone refine talismans so quickly.
An hour later, Lu Qing had refined a total of one hundred and eight jade talismans before he stopped.
It was only because he had refined it that it became a perfect golden elixir, a rare find in the world, with an incredibly powerful recovery ability.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to sustain the production of so many jade talismans at once.
After refining the jade talisman, Lu Qing did not rest but took out a short sword.
He used his movement technique, stepping on the Heavenly Gang Step, and his short sword moved like a dragon and snake, outlining runes on the jade bricks on the ground.
Before long, he had carved out a profound and complex array.
"Please take your seat in the center of the magic circle, Master."
After completing the inscription of the magic array, Lu Qing said solemnly.
Mo Hongyun followed his instructions and walked into the center of the magic circle, where she sat down.
At this moment, her confidence in Lu Qing was stronger than ever before.
After all, the setup Lu Qing is making now clearly indicates that he has made extremely thorough preparations.
Putting everything else aside, she couldn't understand the magic array under her feet at all.
It just felt extremely mysterious, completely unlike a magic array at the Golden Core stage.
Seeing that Mo Hongyun was ready, Lu Qing waved his hand.
The 108 jade talismans he had previously crafted flew up and scattered, embedding themselves in the array nodes.
"Master, this magic array was specially set up by me. Once activated, it can isolate the inside from the outside and suppress the curse mark in your body."
"That way, when we break the spell later, the Venerable Wonderful Desire might not be able to notice the changes here immediately."
Lu Qing explained.
"Mm." Mo Hongyun nodded gently.
"Then please calm your mind and focus your attention. When you break the curse, there may be considerable pain. Please try your best to bear it."
Lu Qing added his instructions.
"Go ahead and do as you please, don't worry about me."
Mo Hongyun said firmly.
Following Lu Qing's instructions, he began to calm his mind and prepare for what was to come.
"Lord of the city, no matter what happens later, please do not let outsiders come in and disturb us."
"Don't worry, no one can enter this room without my permission."
The Lord of Canglan City said with great confidence.
Lu Qing nodded, and after Mo Hongyun was ready, he made a hand seal and sent a wisp of his mind to the magic array beneath his feet.
The next moment, the 108 jade talismans on the array flickered slightly, and a light screen of the array suddenly lit up, enveloping him and Mo Hongyun.
As the array's light screen lit up, the Canglan City Lord outside the array suddenly felt that he had lost the ability to sense the presence of Lu Qing and Mo Hongyun.
Even though the two people were right in front of him, in his perception, they seemed to be in another dimension.
They could only see their figures, but could not sense their presence at all.
"This magic array has the ability to shield auras and isolate space?"
A look of shock appeared in the eyes of the City Lord of Canglan.
The Dao of Space is generally only accessible to top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators who have traveled extremely far in the Nascent Soul realm.
Lu Qing was only at the Golden Core stage, yet the array he set up subtly involved the laws of space.
This is utterly incredible.
The Lord of Canglan City recalled the question that Lu Qing had asked him before.
A thought suddenly popped into his mind that even he couldn't believe.
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lu asked such a question?"
"He didn't hear it from his master, but he actually touched upon the laws of space?"
Under the shocked gaze of the City Lord of Canglan, Lu Qing, inside the magic array, finally began to make a move.
He stood on two important nodes of the magic array beneath his feet, and with the help of the array's power, he activated it with his mind.
An incredibly pure spiritual power landed on the strange curse mark on Mo Hongyun's chest.
Stimulated by this, the eerie cursed seal, which was already trembling as if it were alive, immediately reacted.
Not only did it begin to twist violently, but a majestic voice, whose gender was indistinguishable, also rang out.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from within the curse seal: "Who dares to provoke the curse seal set up by this deity!"
