Chapter 290: Serendipitous Opportunity, A Familiar Face Returns
Chapter 290: Serendipitous Opportunity, A Familiar Face Returns
July 25, 2024
"Look! There's a streak of light heading towards the Sacred City!"
Within the Sacred City, all the martial artists who had been observing the white vortex were stirred to excitement upon witnessing over a dozen streaks of light rushing directly toward the city.
After all, they had just seen it clearly.
From the white vortex, only a few dozen streaks of light had emerged, dispersing in different directions across the land.
Now, to see over a dozen streaks of light descending towards the Sacred City, how could the martial artists within the city not be excited?
Some of the warriors even had a thought pop into their minds.
"Could this opportunity be meant for me?"
"What a chance!"
The innate realm experts within the city immediately displayed their body techniques, chasing after the falling lights.
The over a dozen streaks of light were extremely fast, surpassing the speed of the innate realm experts' body techniques by a large margin.
Moreover, they were not gathered together but were descending toward multiple directions within the Sacred City.
In an instant, the innate realm experts within the city were filled with anticipation, each rushing toward the streak of light they had their eyes on.
Among them, several streaks of light attracted even more attention.
"Hmm? Several streaks of light are gathering together and falling in the same direction?"
"Looks like they're heading toward the Sky Insight Tower!"
"So what if it's the Sky Insight Tower? When opportunity knocks, those with fate shall seize it! Does the Sky Insight Tower dare to stop us?"
Immediately, over a dozen innate realm experts rushed toward the location of the Sky Insight Tower.
With over a dozen innate realm experts gathered, the powerful auras they exuded were naturally formidable.
Along the way, anyone who sensed this overwhelming might scurried out of their way like snakes and scorpions, not daring to obstruct them in the slightest.
Some of the post-innate realm cultivators who had also witnessed the streaks of light earlier had wanted to try their luck.
However, as soon as they thought of moving, they were swept by the powerful auras, causing their bodies to stiffen in fear, and they no longer dared to make any moves.
As the group of innate realm experts rushed toward the Sky Insight Tower, Lu Qing and the others in the small courtyard looked up at the sky in surprise.
The reason for their astonishment was that the streaks of light seemed to be heading directly toward them.
The lights traveled at an incredible speed, reaching the airspace above the small courtyard in just a few breaths.
Then, as if they had predetermined targets, the lights suddenly split up and rushed toward Lu Qing and his companions.
Three of the lights headed toward Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Hu Zezhi.
Lu Qing's heart stirred slightly, but as he didn't sense any dangerous aura from them, he didn't stop them and allowed them to enter the girls' bodies.
The remaining two streaks of light were aimed at Lu Qing and the old doctor.
However, this time, Lu Qing didn't let it enter his body.
A faint white light appeared in his palm as he reached out and grabbed the streak of light.
The light showed no signs of hostility and obediently let Lu Qing capture it.
The old doctor beside him did the same, gathering his true qi in his palm and grasping the light that was rushing toward him.
"Lu Qing!" Hu Zezhi exclaimed anxiously, her eyes filled with panic.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li looked around in confusion.
"Don't worry, this thing shouldn't harm you," Lu Qing reassured them.
However, he was also puzzled.
He wasn't too surprised that Hu Zezhi had obtained the heavenly-descended primal qi. After all, she carried a grand fortune and was beloved by the heavens.
What surprised him was that even they had attracted the primal qi to come to them.
Could it be that the heavenly dao will had already predetermined the owners of these primal qi?
"Qing, what is this?" The old doctor asked, his eyes gleaming with desire for the light in his hand, but he resisted the urge to let the unknown light enter his body.
Lu Qing used his ability to quickly examine it and soon revealed a smile.
"Master, this is a good thing. It's the primal qi of the world, the opportunity we've been sensing in the dark."
"Primal qi of the world?"
The old doctor looked at the streak of light in his hand and observed it carefully. Indeed, it was a stream of light that seemed white and gray, like chaos.
It twisted and turned like dragons and snakes, ever-changing, and incredibly mysterious.
"How do we use this thing?"
"Just absorb it into your body and refine it with your mental energy.
However, Master, I'm afraid we don't have time to refine it now."
Lu Qing looked ahead, and at the same time, the old doctor's expression changed as he sensed the approaching presence of many powerful auras.
The next moment, over a dozen figures appeared on the walls surrounding their small courtyard.
And in an instant, they laid their eyes on the streaks of light in the hands of the old doctor and Lu Qing.
Sensing the strong attraction coming from the lights, the group of Innate Realm experts' eyes lit up.
"The opportunity is right there!"
"Kid, hand over the goods. That doesn't belong to you!"
"Old man, if you don't want to die, hand over what's in your hand!"
"Fellow daoists, the light in your hands is meant for us. Please return it to us."
The group of Innate Realm experts shouted, demanding that Lu Qing and the old doctor hand over the streaks of light.
At this moment, the group of Innate Realm experts also sensed that Xiao Yan and the others emanated the same aura of opportunity.
Apparently, the other few streaks of light that had disappeared were now within them.
This further fueled their greed, and their gazes became even more avaricious.
If it weren't for the fact that this place was under the Sky Insight Tower's control, along with a subtle warning from the heavens, they would have already taken action to seize the lights by force.
Just then, two people from the group of Innate Realm experts looked at Lu Qing and the old doctor closely and were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"It's you!"
Coincidentally, Lu Qing also recognized them.
His eyes narrowed in surprise as he never expected to encounter old acquaintances at this time.
Indeed, among the group of Innate Realm experts, Lu Qing spotted Wang Cangyi and his senior disciple, Zhao Xiong, whom he hadn't seen for over two years.
"Wang Shidi, Zhao Shizi, you know these people?"
An elderly man with a slender build asked.
"Senior Uncle, this master and disciple pair are the ones who made us retreat two years ago. They are also the culprits behind the deaths of Tong Shidi and the others." Zhao Xiong respectfully replied.
A cold glint appeared in Wang Cangyi's eyes.
He wasn't a fool. After their retreat from Cang County, he had already guessed that the disappearance of his other personal disciples was related to Lu Qing and his disciple.
Recalling how they had interfered when he was about to obtain the treasure from the Wei family, causing him to lose his chance, Wang Cangyi's heart filled with killing intent.
Now, they had also intercepted the opportunity sent by the heavens.
With old grudges and new hatred, Wang Cangyi's heart was seething with murderous intentions.
He sneered and said, "Indeed, Senior Brother. These two are extremely cunning, especially the old man. He looks innocent, but he has already comprehended a bit of the Innate Realm's domain intent.
I was careless back then and fell for his trick.
You must be careful, Senior Brother, and absolutely must not fall for his schemes!"
Wang Cangyi deliberately raised his voice so that those around him could hear.
"Innate Realm's domain intent!"
As expected, when they heard this, all the Innate Realm experts' faces changed.
Those who could comprehend domain intent were at least at the Small Success stage of the Innate Realm or above.
The old man before them looked ordinary, yet he had comprehended such profound insight?
Suddenly, the initially greedy Innate Realm experts became cautious, their eyes filled with wariness.
