Chapter 147: Primordial Rune Framework, Stepping Into Nei Fu Jing
As everyone prepared to leave the underground chamber, Wei Shanhai’s expression remained dazed.
The others, still lacking in cultivation, didn’t grasp the true significance of the peculiar aura that had radiated from Old Doctor moments earlier. But as another Xian Tian Jing cultivator, Wei Shanhai knew just how impossible it was—truly beyond belief—to master two completely opposite types of Xian Tian Qi simultaneously, and even more so to make them harmonize, complement each other, and mutually enhance one another’s power.
It was practically as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
Yet here it was—right before his eyes—a feat that defied all known limits, having actually come to pass.
The revelation nearly shattered Wei Shanhai’s martial spirit.
Even among peers of the same Xian Tian Jing level, he felt an immense, almost unbearable gap between himself and Old Doctor.
He had studied the strange essence on the Great Furnace at least seven or eight times. Even if he combined all those efforts, the results still fell far short of what Old Doctor had achieved in a single moment of insight.
Before departing, Lu Qing cast one last lingering glance at the Lihuo Ding.
Within the Heritage he had acquired from the furnace, there was indeed a technique for refining the Lihuo Ding. But that method required knowledge of Daoist cultivation. Moreover, refining an artifact of Middle-Grade Spirit quality like this furnace demanded a cultivation level far beyond mere Xian Tian Jing—certainly not something attainable by Lu Qing at his current stage.
So he made up his mind: when his cultivation reached the point where he could truly refine the furnace, he would then find a way to obtain it from the Wei Family.
Until then, the Lihuo Ding would remain in the underground chamber, quietly restoring its spiritual essence.
Emerging from the chamber, dusk had already fallen.
The group’s mood was generally upbeat. Especially Wei Xinghe and Ma Gu, who, though they hadn’t achieved the same monumental breakthrough as Old Doctor, had still gained substantial insights from studying the furnace’s essence.
Soon after exiting, they returned to their rooms to begin cultivating in seclusion.
Lu Qing collected Xiao Yan and Xiao Li from Wei Fu Ren, then returned to the guest quarters assigned by the Wei Family Residence to rest.
That night, Xiao Yan cradled Xiao Li, the two little ones fast asleep on a small bed beside the main one.
But Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, motionless, not asleep at all.
He was cultivating.
After absorbing the strange essence emitted by the Lihuo Ding in the underground chamber, his Spirit Soul Power had surged dramatically. Now, with ample strength, he resumed the process of sketching and refining the next Spirit Soul Rune.
Within his Brow Qi Cavity, Lu Qing’s Spirit Soul Power flowed slowly, steadily concentrating, striving to shape something profound.
These soul vibrations, hidden beneath the veil of the original Spirit Soul Rune, remained perfectly concealed.
As he continued to draw, a new Spirit Soul Rune began to form—slowly, steadily, silently.
When the rune finally completed its shape, the first rune that had been forged earlier slid over, connecting with the new one in a mysterious, harmonious bond. The two runes began to rotate slowly around each other, like celestial bodies in perfect orbit.
Lu Qing felt a faint tremor within his Brow Qi Cavity—its stability increased, its range expanding noticeably.
Yet his expression remained unchanged.
He knew this was only the appetizer.
According to the records in the Divine Seal Sect’s Heritage, true transformation would only occur once the third core rune was completed—marking the first true shape of the Primordial Rune’s foundational structure.
Feeling that his Spirit Soul Power still had reserves, Lu Qing wasted no time and immediately began forging the third rune.
Time passed.
How long? He didn’t know.
Then, as the faint sound of a rooster’s crow echoed through the night, Lu Qing finally completed the third Spirit Soul Rune.
As it linked with the two prior runes, spinning in a strange, intricate pattern, a violent tremor surged through Lu Qing’s body.
His Brow Qi Cavity underwent a seismic transformation.
The void within the Qi Cavity expanded instantly—growing tenfold, perhaps more.
At the same time, his mind cleared like a mountain stream under sunlight. His perception of the outside world sharpened to an almost supernatural degree.
He could now feel every movement within the Wei Family Residence—crystal clear, as if the entire compound existed within his awareness.
“Is this what Master meant by the Five Elements of Heavenly and Earthly Qi?”
Lu Qing kept his eyes closed, yet within his inner perception, the world burst into vivid, radiant colors.
He could now see the various strands of Heavenly and Earthly Qi—vivid, distinct, no longer shrouded in mist or confusion.
But despite this clarity, he still couldn’t draw Qi into his body. His Qi Cavity remained sealed.
“Well, even if I could step into Xian Tian Jing right now, it would be a disaster.”
Lu Qing had consumed Dipulse Spiritual Fluid. His innate talent was extraordinary.
Right now, he was only at Jin Gu Jing Wan Man—his body’s potential far from fully unlocked, and many of his Secret Techniques still incomplete.
Forcing his way into Xian Tian Jing too soon would only do harm.
Having inherited multiple advanced Heritages, he understood one truth: only the most solid foundation could support a truly powerful path.
“Xian Tian Jing can wait. But I’ve already spent enough time in Jin Gu Jing. It’s time to break through.”
Lu Qing rose from the bed, quietly opened the door, and stepped into the small courtyard outside.
Dawn was just breaking—the sky pale with the first light.
Bathed in the morning dew, he assumed his stance and began slowly practicing the Nourish Body Fist.
With each movement, his blood and qi began to flow more freely.
The motions flowed like water—smooth, natural, exuding the aura of a true Zong Shi cultivator.
At this stage, Lu Qing’s mastery of the first eighteen forms of the Nourish Body Fist was already on par with his Master’s. He had developed his own unique understanding, refined through countless hours of practice.
He continued through the forms—each one flowing into the next—until he reached the eighteenth.
In the past, he would either stop there or return to the first form to begin again.
But this time, something changed.
Lu Qing altered his stance, launching into a new, unusual technique.
His breath grew slow and deep. The flow of his blood and qi slowed even further—breaking through previous limits, inching ever deeper into his internal organs.
Suddenly, Lu Qing’s body trembled.
A powerful aura erupted from him.
He had shattered the final barrier between Jin Gu Jing and Nei Fu Jing.
He had become a Nei Fu Jing cultivator.
Yet his expression remained calm.
With the depth of his cultivation and the early development of his Spirit Soul Power, not to mention his profound grasp of Zong Shi-level sword intent, he had long been capable of breaking through.
He had merely chosen to remain in Jin Gu Jing, refining his foundation to perfection.
Now, the breakthrough was simply the natural culmination of all that effort.
No surprise. No triumph. Just completion.
“Who’s there?”
Yet the sudden surge of power from Lu Qing’s breakthrough instantly awakened the cultivators within the Wei Family Residence.
Several powerful auras surged toward him—rapid, precise, drawn by the disturbance.
