Chapter 1068: Chapter 670: Spectacular Heavenly Phenomena, Stepping into the 10th Revolution Realm! (Part 2)

Lu Qing was amazed as he looked at the faint gray Mana at his fingertips.

He wondered if those who achieved the Perfect Golden Core in the history of cultivation also went through a transformation like his.

Yet, he felt that his transformation this time was a bit too exaggerated.

Before the breakthrough, even without using a Magical Treasure, he could kill Great Powers of the Initial Realm of Primordial Spirit Realm.

Now, even against a Great Power of the Second Tribulation, or even Third Tribulation, he could definitely put up a fight.

And currently, he’s merely at the tenth rotation of the Golden Core. When he truly cultivates to the Great Perfection of the twelve rotations of Golden Core, at that time, even Great Powers of the Fourth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit might not be able to do anything to him.

"Is this truly the strength that the Golden Core Realm should possess?"

Lu Qing couldn’t help but doubt.

No matter how powerful a Perfect Golden Core is, it shouldn’t be as overwhelmingly strong as this.

Or is his cultivation path different from other Perfect Golden Cores?

Unfortunately, ever since he left his hometown world, he has never encountered another cultivator who had formed a Perfect Golden Core like him.

Wanting to compare is impossible.

The mysterious presence in the secret realm of the Tianshu Divine Mountain seems to have seen a peerless genius with a Perfect Golden Core in ancient times, but it’s not appropriate for him to inquire now.

The Secret Realm Stone Plate is his strongest life-saving treasure, with only three uses available.

He certainly won’t waste one life-saving use for such a trivial matter.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing decided not to dwell on it further.

At least he currently doesn’t find anything wrong, and his strength is indeed constantly transforming and enhancing.

In that case, there’s nothing to fret about.

He can’t abandon this path of cultivation simply because his strength is too formidable.

"When I reach the Great Perfection of the twelve rotations of Golden Core, with my accumulation, the Heavenly Tribulation triggered upon achieving the Primordial Spirit will likely be unimaginably terrifying."

Golden Core Realm’s breakthrough to Primordial Spirit Realm would indeed trigger a Heavenly Tribulation.

The deeper the accumulation, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation.

Given Lu Qing’s foundation, he can’t even imagine how powerful his Primordial Spirit Tribulation would be.

Of course, he won’t shrink back because of it; the path of cultivation is inherently about overcoming obstacles, and one cannot give up because of difficulty.

After a fluctuation of emotions, Lu Qing suppressed all his thoughts, and his Heart and Spirit became clear again.

With a casual wave, hundreds of Spirit Stones flew out, landing into the Spirit Gathering Array, ready to continue cultivating.

The previous breakthrough cost him nearly ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

The breakthrough consumption alone was this large, and to elevate his cultivation from the tenth rotation to the Great Perfection of twelve rotations, he didn’t know how many Spirit Stones it would take.

Lucky for him that he ransacked the Treasure Vault of the Gongsu Family’s direct lineage second house; otherwise, he wouldn’t know how many tasks he’d need to perform to gather the Spirit Stones needed for cultivation.

As Lu Qing resumed his cultivation, the atmosphere inside the chamber became peaceful again.

Outside, Little Li and the Five Elements could no longer sense that terrifying aura that made their hair stand on end.

Still filled with lingering fear, they exchanged glances and continued cultivating.

However, Little Li and the Five Elements knew for sure that the aura just now must have been due to some exceptional breakthrough of Lu Qing.

Thinking about how the gap between them and Lu Qing would continue to widen at this pace, the two little ones couldn’t help but cultivate even more diligently.

Thus, time slowly passed as Lu Qing remained in seclusion.

The Heavenly Origin Great World is vast and boundless; every day countless geniuses rise, showcasing their brilliance.

It wouldn’t stop running because of the disappearance of any individual.

Lu Qing’s disappearance didn’t cause much of a stir.

However, what he did in Zhou Tian City eventually spread, and was noticed by many across the world with vested interests.

"What did you say, Qiao Rong is dead?"

In the Nangong Family, Nangong Yuanwu, still looking sickly, couldn’t help but leap to his feet upon hearing the old housekeeper’s report, looking at him in disbelief.

"Master, be careful, your wound hasn’t healed yet!" the old housekeeper promptly said.

"Stop the nonsense, my wound isn’t so bad that I’ll die just by standing!" Nangong Yuanwu’s eyes were bright. "Quick, tell me, how do you know Qiao Rong is dead?"

"This matter has spread everywhere outside, saying an assassin from the Netherworld Palace penetrated Zhou Tian City and killed Gong Shulian, the ancestor of the Gongsu Family, with a single sword stroke on the street.

Then, while various ancestors of the Gongsu Family were furious and came out to search for the culprit, the assassin secretly infiltrated the Inner City..."

The old housekeeper detailed the information he had gathered one by one.

If Lu Qing was there, he would notice that although the process had slight differences, it largely matched what he did on that day.

Clearly, whoever spread this information must have been present in Zhou Tian City at the time.

"...Finally, as the Circulation Star Array was released, the assassin utilized the Space Shifting Technique to flee directly. Even the contemporary Clan Leader of the Gongsu Family seemingly couldn’t catch and capture them.

Afterward, news emerged that Qiao Rong had vanished, reportedly her Soul Lamp extinguished."

With the old housekeeper recounting everything, Nangong Yuanwu’s expression was one of delight beyond mere shock.

"The Soul Lamp extinguished means Qiao Rong is definitely dead. A mere mid-Golden Core caliber, punished by the Gongsu Family, hardly has any possibility of revival!"

As an individual of the Primordial Spirit Realm, Nangong Yuanwu knew that although the Resurrection Technique indeed exists, it was grasped by only a few powerful factions in the Heavenly Origin Great World.

Moreover, the rumor states that reviving someone sets very strict requirements.

First and foremost, the deceased must have prepared their Divine Soul Consciousness in advance.

Additionally, the resources needed for resurrection are enormous, unattainable even for top-tier factions to use freely.

Not to mention that Qiao Rong was merely a neglected direct lineage lady; even the direct lineage Daoists of each clan might not have room for resurrection.

Let alone the fact he never heard of the Gongsu Family mastering the Resurrection Technique.

The best example was the most outstanding young Primordial Spirit Realm Gongshu Zheng of the Gongsu Family, who was killed years ago on the Heavenly Book Divine Mountain; the Gongsu Family has yet to revive him.

It goes to show the Gongsu Family likely hasn’t mastered the Resurrection Technique.

Thus, since Qiao Rong’s Soul Lamp extinguished, she was indeed dead beyond revival!

Thinking of this, Nangong Yuanwu’s mood immediately became immensely pleasant.

"I really didn’t expect that the Netherworld Palace would be so effective. I just offered a reward of ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and they actually sent someone to eliminate this wench for me!"

Indeed, it was Nangong Yuanwu who secretly issued the assassination task for Qiao Rong’s head from within the Netherworld Palace.

Years ago, he was targeted by a bounty offered by Qiao Rong in the Netherworld Palace and encountered an assassin there on the Nangong family’s territory.

If not for an ancestor from their clan being by his side, he would have perished and been permanently silenced.

Even though he survived, his Primordial Spirit suffered greatly and hasn’t recovered to this day, making him harbor deep-seated resentment.

Though the Nangong Family and Gongsu Family had a temporary reconciliation with the Holy Alliance’s mediation, Nangong Yuanwu could never swallow his anger.

Hence, he decided on an eye for an eye and secretly dispatched someone to the Netherworld Palace to offer a bounty on Qiao Rong’s life.

However, due to his dwindling Spirit Stone reserves, the reward he finally offered was just ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

Originally, he thought such a small amount wouldn’t attract any experts and that the task might remain unfulfilled for a very long time.

Unexpectedly, it wasn’t long before a formidable figure accepted the task and executed Qiao Rong in Zhou Tian City!

"I wonder which powerful figure accomplished this, so bold as to commit an assassination directly in Zhou Tian City. Now, the Gongsu Family must be absolutely furious!"

Thinking of all this, Nangong Yuanwu’s heart felt refreshingly like indulging in icy treats during June.

Even the injury to his Primordial Spirit seemed to have improved somewhat.
