The Golden Core shatters, and the Primordial Spirit emerges!
With great willpower, Lu Qing self-destructed his golden core, shattering the black and white lightning millstone of the Great Dao.
Then, with the understanding of the indestructible and indestructible realm, he broke through and then established anew, absorbing all the black and white lightning, reshaping his dantian and condensing his primordial spirit.
"Is this the primordial spirit?"
Lu Qing looked with some curiosity at the little figure in his dantian, holding a gourd and with its eyes closed.
He could naturally sense that this little man was connected to his mind and spirit, and was his primordial spirit.
However, his primordial spirit seems to be a little different from others.
In other Yuan Shen realms, the Yuan Shen seems to reside in the Ni Gong Wan (a point between the eyebrows).
However, his primordial spirit, after evolving, remained in his dantian.
"Is it because I haven't overcome the soul tribulation yet, so my primordial spirit can't take over the brow acupoint?" Lu Qing wondered to himself.
He then looked at the black, white and multicolored gourd held in the little man's hands.
At the mouth of the gourd, the primordial spirit power flowing continuously from the dantian was constantly being drawn in and out.
With each breath, Lu Qing's magical power became more refined.
Through his mental connection with the gourd, Lu Qing knew that this was the Five Elements Gourd that had been reconstituted.
However, the Five Elements Gourd had clearly undergone a significant change at this point.
Not only has its power become much stronger, but its very essence has undergone a transformation.
After communicating with his mind, Lu Qing understood what was going on after a few breaths.
It turns out that he had previously integrated the Chaos Pearl into the Five Elements Gourd, intending to upgrade it into a spiritual artifact.
But the subsequent changes were somewhat unexpected, and in the end he could only self-destruct his golden core to condense his primordial spirit amidst the great destruction.
The Five Elements Gourd was also shattered in the explosion.
But this shattering did not destroy it; instead, it gave it a push in the final stage of its transformation, absorbing a large amount of black and white lightning and reforming it.
Now, having merged with the Chaos Pearl and absorbed a large amount of Yin and Yang energy, the gourd has undergone a fundamental transformation.
It not only contains the five elements, but also contains powerful Yin and Yang forces.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd.
After its transformation, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd transcended the low-grade category and directly became a mid-grade spiritual artifact.
What's even more peculiar is that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd, despite being a mid-grade spiritual artifact, did not develop a spirit.
Because after it shattered, it was reborn together with Lu Qing's primordial spirit.
Therefore, under the influence of some kind of mysterious rule, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd became the companion spiritual artifact of Lu Qing's primordial spirit, completely under the control of the primordial spirit.
Or, in a sense, his primordial spirit is the spirit of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd.
"It was truly a serendipitous and wonderful coincidence."
After understanding all this, Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
However, all of this is a good thing for him.
The Five Elements Gourd was originally his natal spiritual artifact, and now, after its transformation, it has become the companion spiritual artifact of his primordial spirit, with the connection between them becoming even closer.
Furthermore, its grade has jumped to the mid-grade spiritual weapon level, increasing its power a thousandfold, becoming another great help to him.
All these changes are increasing his potential for spiritual practice.
Of course, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd has more functions than that, but he will have time to explore its many other wonderful uses after he has completed his tribulation.
After figuring out the changes in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd, Lu Qing's mind stirred, and his consciousness entered his primordial spirit.
The next moment, he felt his soul perception ability increase exponentially, coupled with the blessing of the Heaven and Earth Array.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, everything was within his perception.
At the same time, he also discovered that hundreds of miles away, there were two powerful beings of the primordial spirits of the two races separated by distance.
However, Lu Qing was not too surprised.
With such a significant commotion surrounding his tribulation this time, and considering that the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are located at the border of two major territories, it's impossible that the powerful figures of the two races stationed on the frontier wouldn't notice it.
At the same time, he also noticed Xiao Li and the others hiding in the forest not far from the group of powerful human beings.
"Hmm, those two are acting suspiciously, what are they planning to do?"
Lu Qing suddenly frowned. He sensed two Golden Core Realm auras lurking around a hundred miles away from Xiao Li and the others, seemingly with some ulterior motive.
However, before he could figure it out, he suddenly felt the might of heaven above his head tremble.
But the third tribulation cloud had already condensed.
Seeing this, Lu Qing could only remind Xiao Li, then withdrew from that mysterious primordial spirit state and looked up.
Hundreds of miles away, Xiao Li heard Lu Qing's telepathic message and her body moved slightly.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong?"
The white dragon sensed Xiao Li's movement and quickly asked.
"Aqing just sent me a telepathic message, saying that there are two late-stage Golden Core cultivators hiding a hundred miles away from us, and that we should be careful."
Xiao Li answered somewhat seriously.
The distance of a hundred miles was beyond its sensing range, which is why it failed to detect the two Golden Core cultivators.
"The master sent you a telepathic message?" Bai Jiao asked in surprise.
It didn't expect that Lu Qing, even amidst the heavenly tribulation, would still have the energy to keep an eye on their movements.
"Yes, Aqing also said that there is no need to worry about his tribulation. After passing nine more tribulation lightning strikes, his tribulation will be over."
"There are actually nine tribulation lightning bolts?"
The white dragon was even more shocked.
It already found it incomprehensible that the Heavenly Tribulation Vortex had produced two instances of tribulation clouds and eighteen tribulation lightning bolts.
Now Lu Qing is actually saying that there are still nine more tribulation lightning strikes?
"As expected, there is a third cloud of tribulation!"
Above the sky, the powerful beings of both races had a premonition when they saw the vortex of heavenly tribulation lingering for a long time.
However, when they saw the third tribulation cloud actually materialize, they couldn't help but be shocked again.
Because this third cloud of calamity is even more bizarre.
It was a giant eye.
His eyes were dark, devoid of any emotion, and he seemed indifferent to everything.
It was as if Heaven had suddenly opened one eye and was examining all living beings.
The powerful beings at the primordial spirit level couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines just by looking at the eye formed by the tribulation clouds.
Everything before their eyes was too bizarre, completely beyond their comprehension.
At this moment, the powerful beings of both races no longer pondered why such a change had occurred, because it was meaningless.
They knew that only after this bizarre calamity ended would they have a chance to figure out everything.
"The tribulation clouds condensed from the soul tribulation of this Great Dao Primordial Spirit Tribulation are actually eyes?"
Lu Qing was also greatly surprised, especially being stared at by the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation, which gave him a strange feeling.
It seems that these eyes truly belong to some unfathomable being.
Lu Qing was not afraid; instead, she looked up and met his gaze.
He even activated his supernatural abilities to observe it, wanting to see if he could find out the origin of this Heavenly Tribulation Eye.
However, after watching for a while, before the message from the Heavenly Tribulation Eye could even appear, the strange eye blinked and a bolt of lightning struck down.
But the eye-shaped tribulation cloud had already prepared its first tribulation cloud, which then descended.
Moreover, the tribulation lightning was formless and shapeless; one could only sense its power but not its physical form, making it equally bizarre.
The target of the tribulation lightning was obvious: it was aimed directly at Lu Qing's brow acupoint.
Physical defenses were ineffective, and even the defenses of the five spiritual orbs had no effect whatsoever.
This invisible tribulation lightning struck the soul talisman that Lu Qing had condensed with his divine soul directly, and the shockwave spread rapidly, encompassing Lu Qing's entire mind!
The next moment, Lu Qing felt a blur before his eyes, and when he reappeared, he was in an unfamiliar environment.
He was surrounded by endless flames, threatening to engulf him and completely refine him.
"This is...an illusion?"
Lu Qing looked at the raging flames around him. Although these flames were very realistic, both the temperature and the burning sensation in his soul were exactly the same as in reality.
But Lu Qing immediately recognized that he was in an illusion.
After all, he possessed the supernatural power of 【illusion】, making him a master of illusion.
He could still tell whether what was before him was an illusion.
"Interesting. Is this final soul tribulation meant to temper and hone my mind through various illusions?"
Lu Qing immediately understood.
Then his mind jolted slightly: "Break!"
As his soul trembled, the scene before him, which resembled an infernal hell, also began to shake violently.
Finally, it twisted and deformed, and shattered completely.
Lu Qing's mind also regained a connection with his physical body and returned to reality.
However, after the illusion shattered, the flames did not disappear. Instead, they transformed into invisible energy and merged into Lu Qing's brow acupoint and the soul talisman.
Immediately, Lu Qing felt a strange change occurring in the acupoint between his eyebrows.
The talisman also gained a touch of spiritual energy.
"So that's how it is. This so-called soul tribulation is to use invisible tribulation lightning to drag my mind into a series of illusions for tempering."
If I can break through the illusion, the tribulation lightning will transform into nourishment, refining and nurturing my soul, making its essence stronger.
If one cannot break free, one will be forever trapped in this illusion, until one's mind and soul are annihilated.
Feeling the changes within his body, Lu Qing finally gained a clear understanding of this third tribulation, the soul tribulation.
What this soul tribulation did was actually similar to how he usually used the 【illusion】 supernatural power to cast illusions and trap enemies.
It's just that the illusion created by this heavenly tribulation is even more vast.
However, this was not a problem for Lu Qing.
Having already survived two tribulations, his strength had already increased dramatically.
Especially after shattering the elixir and condensing the primordial spirit, the power of the divine soul underwent a transformation.
In addition, he also possesses the magical power of illusion 【psychedelic】.
Perhaps he will find the next tribulation of his soul easier than the previous ones.
What happened next proved that Lu Qing's feeling was correct.
Each bolt of lightning that struck from the Eye of Heaven dragged him into various illusions.
There was a possibility that he could possess all the beautiful women in the world and become the master of the harem.
There was a possibility that he would be given command of millions of troops and become an unparalleled emperor.
There are those who would make him the leader of the righteous path, and give him control of the righteous forces of the human race in the Tianyuan Great World.
He conjures up the vengeful spirits of many who died at his hands, seeking their deaths.
There was also a vision of Xiaoyan and her master dying tragically, crying and telling him about it.
Such examples are numerous.
Later on, there was even a way to help him overcome the tribulation of ascension and become an immortal.
Without exception, Lu Qing broke through all these illusions and absorbed all the tribulation lightning aura.
Bang!
As yet another illusion shattered like glass, a large amount of tribulation lightning energy was absorbed by Lu Qing.
His mind became increasingly clear, and the divine soul talisman in the acupoint between his eyebrows emitted a hazy golden light, as if some kind of essential transformation was about to occur.
"Only one last tribulation lightning bolt remains. I wonder what this final illusion will be?"
Lu Qing thought to himself as he absorbed the aura of the tribulation lightning.
To be honest, the illusion created by this soul tribulation, although incredibly powerful, was so realistic that it was almost indistinguishable from reality.
However, there was still a clear sense of unease for him, and it couldn't shake his original intentions at all.
Therefore, although the illusions became increasingly powerful, the speed at which he broke through them did not slow down at all.
My true intentions remained unchanged, without any fluctuation.
Lu Qing waited quietly, and before long, the ninth tribulation lightning finally finished brewing and crashed down.
The invisible lightning struck Lu Qing's brow acupoint, dragging his mind into yet another illusion.
"Aqing, Aqing!"
When Lu Qing opened his eyes, he heard someone calling him.
The voice was so familiar that it sent a shiver down his spine.
Before he could even turn his head, he felt himself being embraced in a warm hug.
The voice wept with joy: "Aqing, you're finally awake! Mom thought you were going to leave me and your dad like this."
Feeling that ancient yet familiar aura, Lu Qing's stiff body suddenly relaxed.
She smiled gently and said, "Mom, I'm home."
Then he looked at the somewhat weathered figure beside him and said softly, "Dad, I'm back."
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake."
Even the usually serious Mr. Lu couldn't help but wipe away his tears and kept saying...
After a while, once the two elders had calmed down a bit.
Lu Qing then asked, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with me?"
At this moment, Lu Qing could see that he was lying on a white bed with an IV drip in his hand.
Judging from the surroundings, I should be in a hospital.
His body was completely empty; all his magical power, primordial spirit, magical treasures, and talismans had vanished.
It was as if everything I experienced in the world of cultivation was just a dream.
"Ah Qing, don't you remember anything?"
"Hmm, my memory is a bit hazy."
"Two weeks ago, you were on your way home from work when you saw an out-of-control car hit a pair of children playing on the side of the road. You pushed the two children away, but you were grazed on the head by the car and passed out on the spot."
The doctor initially said you would never wake up, but your mother didn't believe him and came to wake you up every day. Now she's finally managed to wake you up.
You don't remember any of this?
Lu's father explained the situation step by step.
Lu Qing thought for a moment, feeling the memories constantly surging in his mind, and nodded slightly: "It seems that there was such a thing."
"It's okay if you don't remember. Now that you're awake, don't think about those things anymore. Getting well is the most important thing."
"Um."
Lu Qing nodded slightly.
Seeing his parents smile, he smiled too.
"Interesting, it's weaving memories directly into my mind."
