Chapter 183: Two Years Later, the Divine Soul Talisman is Complete!
Deep in the mountains, within a peculiar valley where Li Weitian was buried, Lu Qing and Xiao Li's figures appeared.
"Even after half a year, this place remains unchanged," Lu Qing remarked, marveling at the valley's lush flora and vibrant wildlife.
While the world outside was enveloped in the chilly winds and falling leaves of autumn, this valley remained a perpetual spring, a peculiar sight to behold.
"Roar~"
Xiao Li, perched on Lu Qing's shoulder, let out a gentle roar, seemingly urging Lu Qing on.
"Alright, alright, I know. You and Xiao Yan planned to play chess earlier, didn't you? I won't be long this time," Lu Qing reassured as he ruffled the little guy's fluffy head affectionately.
He slightly regretted his impulse to craft a beast chess set some time ago. The two little ones had become instantly hooked, and now they were obsessed, wanting to spend all their time playing the game.
Lu Qing first paid his respects at Li Weitian's grave before leading Xiao Li through the waterfall and into the cave.
Upon entering the jade chamber, Lu Qing noticed that everything remained exactly as he had first seen it, without the slightest change.
It was as if, despite the passage of time and the changes in the world outside, this place would remain eternal.
Of course, Lu Qing knew that this was just an illusion. It had been a little over two years since he had discovered this chamber, and it was foolish to speak of eternity in such a short span.
"Xiao Li, you stay outside and help me maintain my guard. I'm going inside to cultivate," Lu Qing instructed as he took out various items from the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.
He prepared a soft cotton nest, clear water, dried fish snacks, and even a couple of storybooks to keep the little guy entertained.
In the past two years, Xiao Li had learned to recognize most characters and could now read articles that weren't too complex.
This upcoming cultivation session was of great importance to Lu Qing, and he wasn't sure how long it would take. So, he made sure to bring along ample provisions.
In the past, when venturing into the mountains, he could only carry a bamboo basket, limiting the amount of supplies he could bring.
Now, with the Qiankun Yiqi Bag, a storage spiritual artifact, he could bring along everything he needed.
"Roar~"
Xiao Li was no longer surprised by the abundance of items Lu Qing could pull out of the small bag.
The little guy padded into his cozy nest and lay down, indicating that he understood.
"You're getting lazier and lazier," Lu Qing shook his head, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
However, he trusted Xiao Li's capabilities implicitly.
Xiao Li's unique sensing ability could detect even Innate Realm cultivators if they didn't deliberately conceal their presence.
Coupled with his innate stealth talent, his indestructible claws, and his formidable strength, he was a force to be reckoned with. Even a Martial Arts Master would struggle to withstand his surprise attack.
There was no better guardian than him.
Leaving Xiao Li to lounge lazily in his nest, Lu Qing pushed open the hidden door and entered the secret chamber, seating himself in a cross-legged position on the jade bed.
He adjusted his breathing, calming his mind and bringing his entire being—body, energy, and spirit—to an optimal state. Only then did he immerse his consciousness into the Spirit Sea in his glabella.
Compared to two years ago, Lu Qing's glabella had undergone significant changes.
Not only had the space within expanded, but his soul force had also grown considerably.
If, two years ago, his soul force had only formed a thin mist within his glabella, now it had transformed into a vast, billowing fog.
Chapter: "The Fruits of Two Years"
The aura within Lu Qing's glabella had become dozens of times richer and more potent.
More importantly, at the center of the glabella, an ancient and intricate soul talisman, adorned with complex runes, hovered in mid-air, suppressing the entire glabella space and making it even more stable.
This soul talisman was almost perfectly intact, with only a small corner missing from the bottom right, adding to its mystique.
The purpose of Lu Qing's seclusion was to fill in this final gap and perfect the soul talisman.
This step was of utmost importance, as it would determine the path of his future cultivation, and he could not afford any carelessness.
Hence, he had brought Xiao Li with him to the secluded Jade Cavern, seeking undisturbed tranquility for his meditative training.
"The moment has finally arrived," Lu Qing mused.
"Enhancing soul power is far more challenging than physical cultivation. My physical attributes reached the pinnacle of the Internal Organs Realm, the level of a Martial Arts Master, over a year ago.
Yet, even with the aid of the Immortal Cultivation Technique, it has taken me an additional year to finally be able to refine my soul talisman."
As he observed the talisman within his glabella, a sense of awe filled his heart.
Over the past two years, Lu Qing had diligently honed his soul power, tirelessly refining it through his unwavering dedication.
He had even cultivated the Observation Technique to the second level, the Melting Furnace Vision, further enhancing his soul power.
Now, he was finally ready to complete the soul talisman.
In contrast, his martial arts training, which had taken a backseat to his soul cultivation, had nonetheless progressed rapidly with minimal effort, thanks to his daily practice of the Health Preservation Fist.
Lu Qing's foundation in martial arts was exceptionally robust.
Two years ago, he had already mastered various martial arts techniques to the level of a Grand Master and even brushed upon the realm of 'Intent'.
During these past two years, his understanding of martial arts had deepened significantly.
Coupled with his extraordinary talent and the rare opportunity to consume the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, his progress in martial arts had been nothing short of remarkable.
With such a solid foundation, it would have been surprising if his martial arts cultivation had not advanced rapidly.
"After two years of diligent cultivation, I have made significant strides in all aspects of my training. Now, it is finally time to perfect this soul talisman."
As Lu Qing gazed upon the nearly complete soul talisman in his glabella, he wasted no time and began the final step, following the ancient records of the Shenfu Sect.
By now, Lu Qing was intimately familiar with the process of refining soul talismans.
Over the past two years, he had lost count of the number of soul talismans he had crafted and refined.
Thus, it didn't take long for him to create the final talisman.
With careful precision, he moved the newly crafted talisman closer to the incomplete soul talisman.
As the talisman drew near, a strange force emerged, causing the new talisman to float towards the incomplete soul talisman and seamlessly fit into the missing corner, completing the whole.
As the final talisman slotted into place, a wondrous transformation occurred.
The entire soul talisman began to glow softly, and the numerous talismans that Lu Qing had painstakingly refined over the past two years started to shift and rearrange themselves in a mesmerizing display of light and energy.
They danced and spun, combining and separating, until finally, all movement ceased.
A perfect and complete soul talisman emerged.
Woosh!
At that moment, Lu Qing felt an invisible wave of energy emanate from the talisman.
Immediately afterward, his glabella began to undergo a transformation, sudden and intense, catching him slightly off guard.
His consciousness was swept up in the wave, and he experienced a moment of enlightenment, suddenly entering a peculiar state.
