I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 304
Chapter 304
At night, Lu Qing sat cross-legged on his bed, eyes closed in deep concentration.
After undergoing his tribulation during the day, he stayed in the tower with his master and the others, without stepping outside.
It wasn't until evening, after Tianji Tower had cleaned up the mess outside, that they settled into a new courtyard under Lin Zhirui's arrangement.
By this time, Xiao Yan had already fallen asleep on the small bed beside him.
As for Xiao Li, ever since it had absorbed that strand of World Origin Qi, it had remained in a deep slumber.
Even the commotion from Lu Qing's tribulation couldn't wake it up.
Had Lu Qing not used his ability to check and found that it was undergoing a critical transformation, he might have thought something was wrong.
Once he confirmed that Xiao Li was unharmed, Lu Qing finally relaxed.
He began to focus his mind and sensed his own body.
At this moment, his blood and qi surged fiercely within his veins, roaring incessantly.
Every inch of his flesh contained immense power.
His internal organs were thriving, filled with vitality.
In his Dantian and Qi Acupoints, a vast sea of Precelestial true qi brewed within.
This was a body that could be described as perfect.
"During the tribulation earlier today, the nine bolts of tribulation lightning not only completely refined the Postnatal impurities in my body, but also condensed a Precelestial body.
It also thoroughly integrated that strand of World Origin Qi into my body.
Now, in terms of physical strength alone, even someone at the peak of the Precelestial Realm would probably be far inferior to me."
As Lu Qing sensed his internal state, thoughts flowed through his mind.
His insight was not without reason.
During his battle with the Third Sacred Master's puppet incarnation earlier that day, his sheer physical strength had suppressed the opponent.
It was only because the opponent's realm was two levels higher and their mastery of Heaven and Earth energy was far superior that they ended up evenly matched.
It's worth noting that according to the inheritance records of the Lihuo Sect, every puppet incarnation, even the lowest-grade one, was crafted from numerous precious materials.
Such puppet incarnations typically had one characteristic: extraordinary strength, far surpassing cultivators of the same level.
For Lu Qing's physical strength to surpass that of a puppet incarnation at the peak of the Precelestial Realm, it was clear how powerful his body had become.
Moreover, Lu Qing sensed that this was just the beginning.
The baptism of the tribulation, combined with the fusion of the World Origin Qi, granted his body limitless potential.
From now on, as long as he continued to cultivate step by step, his physical strength would undergo a rapid period of growth.
After all, he had just entered the Precelestial Realm.
He was still far from reaching his limit.
"In addition to my physical strength, there's also my Soul Power."
Lu Qing's mind then delved into his Brow Acupoint.
At this moment, the space within his Brow Acupoint had undergone a significant transformation.
Not only had the space expanded and become more resilient, but the edges also shimmered with a faint purple hue, exuding a mysterious aura.
At the center stood a purple Soul Rune, emanating a vast and majestic aura, suppressing the entire Acupoint space.
Lu Qing first examined the purple hue at the space's edge but couldn't fully comprehend it.
He only felt that it contained some strange energy, but with his current realm, he couldn't fully understand it.
"It seems that my Brow Acupoint space has undergone some sort of mutation, though this change should be positive."
Unable to comprehend it, Lu Qing temporarily ignored the purple hue.
Instead, he focused on the Soul Rune at the center.
This tribulation had transformed more than just his body; his Soul Power had also undergone a fundamental change.
After being cleansed by the tribulation lightning, his Soul Power had shed its Yin nature, turning from Postnatal to Precelestial, undergoing a complete transformation.
This was also why, despite the suppression in the Sacred City, he could still transmit his voice to his master from hundreds of meters away.
Now, his Soul Power was far stronger than it had been before the tribulation.
Especially the Soul Rune, which had not only survived the tribulation lightning but had also been greatly strengthened.
It had significantly enhanced the supportive power to his Brow Acupoint space, allowing him to control his abilities with greater ease.
Furthermore, his understanding of the Path of Runes had advanced to an entirely new level.
Lu Qing extended his hand, and a light spot appeared. The surrounding Heaven and Earth energy quickly converged.
Soon, a Yuan Qi Talisman, specifically a "Earth Movement Talisman," condensed in his hand.
Indeed, after stepping into the Precelestial Realm, condensing basic talismans like the "Earth Movement Talisman" had become much easier for Lu Qing.
No longer needing to perform complex seals, he could condense them with just a thought.

Sensing the fluctuations of energy within the talisman in his hand, Lu Qing suddenly clenched his fist, dispersing it.
Then, with a slight mental shift, another light spot appeared in his hand.
However, this time, it was not Heaven and Earth energy that was drawn in.
Instead, it was the more elusive, far more potent spiritual energy from a deeper layer of space.
Again, without any seals, the gathering of spiritual energy took much longer than before.
It took dozens of breaths before Lu Qing managed to condense an "Earth Movement Talisman" out of spiritual energy.
However, the talisman made of spiritual energy was far more powerful than the one made of Heaven and Earth energy.
"As expected, the difference in power between a Yuan Qi Talisman and a spiritual energy talisman is quite significant.
Back then, the spiritual energy had dried up, and the Divine Rune Sect had no choice but to replace it with Yuan Qi.
However, the difficulty of condensing a Yuan Qi Talisman is much lower.
Ordinary cultivators of the Path of Runes could condense them in the Postnatal Realm.
But to condense a spiritual energy talisman, one must wait until the Soul Rune transforms from Yin to Yang and reaches the 'Yang Rune' stage to have a chance."
Lu Qing extended his other hand and condensed another Yuan Qi "Earth Movement Talisman."
Comparing the two talismans, he carefully observed the differences between them.
He quickly discerned their respective strengths and weaknesses.
In terms of sheer power, spiritual energy talismans were far superior to Yuan Qi talismans.
However, Yuan Qi talismans had their own advantages.
They were easier to condense; even those in the Postnatal Realm at the "Yin Rune" stage could create them.
Moreover, Yuan Qi talismans had no environmental restrictions; they could be used even in an era of spiritual energy scarcity.
After all, everything in the world was composed of Yuan Qi. If even Heaven and Earth energy couldn't be used, it would truly be the end of an era.
"Although spiritual energy has revived, it exists in a higher layer of space, independent of Heaven and Earth energy.
Only cultivators who have developed Soul Power can vaguely sense its presence.
But sensing it and being able to use it are two different things.
Cultivators must extract spiritual energy from the higher spatial layer and draw it into their bodies.
This requires very powerful Soul Power to accomplish.
And even if one can draw spiritual energy into their body, refining it into their own spiritual force is a highly intricate process, requiring a unique method."
Having broken the bridge between Heaven and Earth and entered the Precelestial Realm, truly coming into contact with both Heaven and Earth energy and spiritual energy, Lu Qing had gained a deeper understanding of their differences.
He also understood why so few of the many who had gone to the Sacred Mountain to study techniques were able to refine spiritual energy and cultivate spiritual force.
Even taking the first step of extracting spiritual energy from space and drawing it into the body was not easy.
One needed to possess strong Soul Power and have a certain understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth to accomplish it.
It's safe to say that over ninety-nine percent of those at the initial stage of the Precelestial Realm are stuck at this step.
Even for those who have reached the minor achievement stage, it's still a significant challenge.
Only the very top martial artists at the major achievement stage or above might have some hope.
Unless, like his master, one is a peerless genius who can comprehend a hint of the domain at the initial stage of the Precelestial Realm.
A genius who, at the minor achievement stage, has already comprehended a complete domain.
Such individuals have a profound understanding of the operation of Heaven and Earth, allowing them to easily surpass this first step.
"But how many peerless geniuses like my master exist in the world?
So, despite the many who have gone to the Sacred Mountain to study techniques, few have been able to unravel the mysteries and cultivate spiritual force.
The time is too short. Perhaps it will take some time before strong individuals gradually grasp the key and make breakthroughs."
As these realizations flowed through his mind, Lu Qing gained a deeper understanding of the current situation in the world.
Despite how few people have truly refined spiritual energy and cultivated spiritual force, it will only be a matter of time before more do so as their understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth deepens.
When that time comes, the world will undoubtedly witness a wave of breakthroughs among the strong.
After all, those who could cultivate to the Precelestial Realm in an era of spiritual energy scarcity are all outstanding individuals, true cultivation geniuses.
Give them more time, and refining spiritual energy, cultivating spiritual force, and stepping into a new realm will only be a matter of time
.
"But this is what makes it interesting. Only in an era brilliant enough can it be free from boredom."
Looking at the two talismans floating above his palm, Lu Qing smiled.
He then dispersed the Yuan Qi talisman and stored the spiritual energy "Earth Movement Talisman" in his Brow Acupoint.
During the tribulation earlier that day, the few Yuan Qi talismans he had stored in his Acupoint space had all been destroyed by the tribulation lightning.
This was the perfect opportunity to replace them all with spiritual energy talismans.
With that in mind, Lu Qing's hands glowed as he continuously drew in Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, condensing several spiritual energy talismans and storing them in his Brow Acupoint.
They turned into orbs of light, slowly revolving around the Soul Rune.
After stepping into the "Yang Rune" stage of the Path of Runes, the number of spiritual talismans Lu Qing could store in his Brow Acupoint had also doubled.
He could now store up to ten talismans simultaneously.
However, he hadn't decided which talismans to store yet, so after replacing the original five Yuan Qi talismans with spiritual energy talismans, he temporarily stopped.
As Lu Qing was condensing spiritual energy talismans, the old doctor in the adjacent room naturally sensed the fluctuations.
However, knowing that Lu Qing was cultivating, he didn't disturb him.
Instead, he quietly unfolded his own Precelestial domain, silently meditating and cultivating.
The scene of Lu Qing undergoing the tribulation earlier had also stimulated the old man.
The old doctor wasn't jealous of his disciple.
On the contrary, he felt guilty for not being able to shield Lu Qing from the storm.
As a master, he could only watch as his disciple was tormented by the tribulation lightning, nearly dying, while he was powerless to help.
This deeply pained the old doctor's heart.
If only he had stronger power, perhaps he could have helped Lu Qing during that time.
"Hmm? Is Master also cultivating?"
As the old doctor unfolded his domain, Lu Qing also sensed the fluctuations.
He was initially surprised, then smiled.
"It seems that Master has also become more diligent in cultivation."
After withdrawing his attention, Lu Qing continued to review his gains from this tribulation.
This time, in addition to refining his Precelestial body and officially entering the Precelestial Realm, Lu Qing's greatest gain was the two innate divine abilities bestowed upon him by the tribulation cloud before it dispersed.
"Two divine abilities, one for the body and one for the soul.
Did Heaven and Earth bestow these upon me because of the deep accumulation of my body and soul?"
The two innate divine abilities Lu Qing had acquired were entirely different from each other.
One was a physical divine ability called "Great Strength."
Once this ability was activated, the body would enter a berserk state, with both strength and defense increasing tenfold.
Afterward, aside from some physical exhaustion, there were no other negative effects.
It could be described as an exceptionally powerful and explosive secret technique without side effects.
The other divine ability was a Soul Power divine ability called "Illusion."
This illusion-based divine ability, once activated, would cause anyone with Soul Power weaker than Lu Qing's to remain trapped in an illusion until Lu Qing dispelled it or until their own death.
Otherwise, it was nearly impossible to escape.
Even those with stronger Soul Power than Lu Qing's, if caught off guard, would need considerable time to break free from the illusion.
If used well, this ability could be a lifesaver in critical moments.
These two divine abilities, one rigid and one flexible, one overt and one covert.
Though not earth-shattering, they suited Lu Qing perfectly at this time.
Earlier in the day, he had only briefly used the "Great Strength" divine ability, without fully mastering it.
Even so, he had been able to wound the Third Sacred Master's puppet incarnation, forcing it to concede.
If he had used both divine abilities simultaneously, he could have likely defeated the Third Sacred Master in an instant.
After all, even with the Third Sacred Master's high realm, facing such a strange divine ability that specifically targeted the soul, even a peak Foundation Establishment expert would likely suffer.
Of course, Lu Qing hadn't done that.
For one, activating both divine abilities simultaneously would have placed great pressure on his newly broken-through self.
For another, it wasn't necessary.
After all, the opponent was merely a puppet incarnation.
Killing it instantly would have done nothing but anger the Third Sacred Master, without bringing any other benefits.
It was better to keep an extra trump card for himself.
Of course, the divine abilities bestowed by Heaven and Earth were not so simple.
In fact, the two innate divine abilities Lu Qing had acquired were both growth-type divine abilities.
In other words, these two innate divine abilities could be strengthened through cultivation.
And the methods to cultivate them were also imprinted in Lu Qing's mind.
