Chapter 306: The Physical Body's Treasured Radiance, Astonishing the World

After examining the black jade bottle, Lu Qing picked up the white jade bottle to inspect it.

Similarly, the white jade bottle had restrictions on it, but because Xuan Ming was dead, the restrictions were very weak.

Lu Qing broke through it without any effort.

Then, as he had expected, this jade bottle also contained the Origin Qi.

And there were several times more than in the black jade bottle.

No wonder.

Xuan Ming and his group had magical treasures and many experts with them.

When it came to seizing Origin Qi, they naturally had no scruples and no one dared to stop them.

Unlike the man in the black robe, who could only act covertly.

Looking at the Origin Qi in the two jade bottles, Lu Qing was delighted.

He had suspected that the jade bottles might contain Origin Qi.

But he hadn't expected there to be so much.

There were over ten strands of Origin Qi in the two bottles combined.

"Origin Qi not only allows one to be reborn and transform one's aptitude, but it can also turn a mediocre talent into a genius.

It also naturally carries a mysterious rhythm that can contain and evolve all things.

The strand of Origin Qi that originally belonged to me was integrated into my physical body during the day when I crossed the Tribulation.

This greatly enhanced the strength of my physical body, far surpassing the average perfection of the Innate Realm.

But I can feel that this is not my limit.

If I can refine more Origin Qi, my physical body can become even stronger!"

After crossing the Thunder Tribulation and integrating a strand of Origin Qi, Lu Qing's physical body had become so strong that even the Third Sage Lord was shocked.

But Lu Qing could feel that this was not his limit.

His body still had a strong desire for Origin Qi.

If he could devour and refine more Origin Qi, his physical body would definitely become even stronger.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing immediately put away his other belongings and went to the corner of the room.

Using his finger as a sword, he drew a simple concealment formation on the ground.

Then, he sat cross-legged in the formation, picked up the black jade bottle, and swallowed a strand of Origin Qi.

As the Origin Qi entered his dantian, Lu Qing immediately circulated his spiritual energy to begin refining it.

After stepping into the Innate Realm, Lu Qing's cultivation had become much more powerful than before.

Moreover, his body had already integrated a strand of Origin Qi.

So this time, the speed of refinement was much faster than the first time.

Before long, a strand of Origin Qi was refined and absorbed by Lu Qing.

Similarly, his physical body became even more powerful.

Feeling that his body had still not reached its limit, Lu Qing did not hesitate to take out another strand of Origin Qi, swallow it, and begin refining it.

Like this, as Lu Qing continuously swallowed and refined strands of Origin Qi, the aura on his body also became increasingly powerful.

If it weren't for him concealing his aura with the Spirit Talisman and sitting in the formation, he might have already alerted the powerful experts nearby.

"Including the strand of Origin Qi that I originally integrated into my body, this is the ninth one."

As Lu Qing took out another strand of Origin Qi from the jade bottle, a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Nine was the extreme of numbers, and he could feel that his body could accommodate at most one more strand of Origin Qi before reaching its limit.

"Have I experienced the tempering of nine Tribulation Thunderbolts, so I can accommodate a maximum of nine strands of Origin Qi?

I wonder what changes my physical body will undergo after refining this last strand of Origin Qi."

Lu Qing's spirit stirred, and he swallowed the ninth strand of Origin Qi.

As this strand of Origin Qi was refined, a strange change occurred in Lu Qing's body.

His skin, which was already as white as jade, began to emit a faint glow, and the light became more and more intense.

Finally, when Lu Qing completely refined the Origin Qi,

Boom!

Not only did the glow outside his body intensify, but his internal organs, blood, flesh, bones, and marrow also underwent earth-shattering changes, rapidly transforming.

Finally, when all the transformations were complete, the glow outside Lu Qing's body turned into a layer of mysterious treasured radiance.

It looked not only divine but also extremely resilient.

In the midst of the radiance, Lu Qing opened his eyes.

He first saw the glow within his body and was stunned for a moment before his eyes showed astonishment.

"Treasured radiance emanating from the body? Has my physical body reached the realm of emitting treasured radiance?"

Lu Qing was overjoyed.

What does it mean for the body to emanate treasured radiance?

From the Legacy of the Li Huo Sect, Lu Qing knew that in the cultivation era, there were also various paths for cultivation.

There were cultivation methods for the body, the spirit, talismans, the sword, and pills...

Spirit cultivators communicate with the heavens and earth through their souls, invoking powerful spells to sweep across the land.

"The path of physical cultivation yields a formidable body that can break laws with sheer might. Sword cultivators, on the other hand, focus on a single flying sword, shattering all laws and achieving unmatched sharpness..."

Each path of immortal cultivation has its unique strengths.

The divine talisman lineage that Lu Qing practices, for instance, is a type of talisman cultivation.

While typical talisman cultivators primarily focus on inscribing and refining talismans, the divine talisman lineage involves cultivating a divine soul talisman between the eyebrows.

Compared to ordinary talisman cultivators, the divine talisman lineage has much stricter requirements for talent.

The "body emitting treasured radiance" mentioned by Lu Qing is actually a state achieved in physical cultivation.

Physical cultivators focus on tempering their bodies, communicating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and employing various secret techniques to strengthen their physiques, thereby attaining incredible physical power.

This process is akin to refining one's body like a treasure, continuously tempering it.

In fact, truly accomplished physical cultivators can indeed refine their bodies to a level comparable to treasures.

They can engage in hand-to-hand combat with treasures and withstand their attacks without their bodies being destroyed—a formidable state to attain.

When physical cultivators reach a certain level in their practice, a distinct feature becomes apparent.

When they circulate and unleash their qi, their bodies emanate a layer of treasured radiance, much like a treasure.

This radiance not only provides formidable defense but can also be manipulated by the physical cultivator to enhance their combat prowess, becoming a sharp edge in battle.

It is one of the distinctive traits of physical cultivators.

"Physical cultivators can be judged by the treasured radiance emanating from their bodies. The lowest level is white, followed by red, gold, purple, and so on. The more intense the radiance, the stronger their prowess."

The treasured radiance currently emanating from Lu Qing's body was merely the lowest-level white radiance.

However, it's important to know that even for physical cultivators, achieving the state of emitting treasured radiance typically requires reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

In other words, Lu Qing's physical strength, at this point, was already comparable to that of a physical cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"If we were to fight again, without using any divine abilities, I could crush the Third Sage Lord's puppet body solely with my physical strength."

Lu Qing clenched his fist, feeling the boundless power within him, and his confidence soared.

Moreover, his robust physique was just one aspect.

After refining the nine strands of Origin Qi, Lu Qing's potential had become unfathomable.

Even he couldn't predict how high his talent had risen.

"Perhaps I should choose one or two physical cultivation techniques to practice alongside my current path."

Considering that Lu Qing had already achieved the state of emitting treasured radiance without formally cultivating physical refinement techniques, it would be a waste of his incredible physical talent if he didn't take up physical cultivation.

Fortunately, the Legacy of the Li Huo Sect included some physical cultivation techniques.

While they might not be top-notch, they would suffice for Lu Qing's current needs.

However, after consecutively refining the strands of Origin Qi, Lu Qing felt mentally exhausted.

Thus, he didn't rush into it and planned to select a cultivation technique after leaving the Sacred City.

After making his decision, Lu Qing's gaze fell on the two jade bottles in front of him.

The black jade bottle was now empty, but the white jade bottle still contained five strands of Origin Qi.

"This Xuan Ming and the man in black have truly been my lucky stars, leaving me with such a valuable gift."

Lu Qing resealed the jade bottles, ensuring that the qi of the Origin Qi was contained within.

Although he couldn't refine and absorb any more Origin Qi, these heavenly treasures were still invaluable.

If he were to spread the word, countless powerful experts would likely offer countless treasures in exchange for just a single strand.

Of course, trading was out of the question, but Lu Qing had his plans for the remaining Origin Qi.

He put away the jade bottles into his Cosmos Sack and took out the few treasures he had obtained from Xuan Ming.

However, after examining them, his interest quickly waned.

Although these treasures were rare and valuable, and the Subduing Demon Vajra was even a treasure, they all required unique Buddhist incantations to activate.

Lu Qing had no intention of becoming a monk, nor did he possess any Buddhist cultivation techniques.

Thus, he stored the items away, planning to dispose of them when the opportunity arose.

After taking care of everything, Lu Qing felt a sense of fatigue.

The events of the day had been numerous and eventful.

From crossing the tribulation to slaying the monks of Xuankong Mountain, battling the Third Sage Lord, and then refining the strands of Origin Qi...

This series of events had taken a toll even on Lu Qing, who possessed exceptional mental fortitude.

Without further ado, Lu Qing extinguished the candle and retired to bed.

The night passed without incident, and Lu Qing slept soundly, his mind and body exhausted from the day's events.

However, what he didn't know was that this very night, news of his exploits spread far and wide, not just within the Sacred City but across the entire Zhongzhou region.

The major sects, in particular, had their own unique means of communication with their Innate Realm experts.

Thus, within a single night, Lu Qing's name reverberated throughout Zhongzhou.

"What did you say? A heavenly opportunity descended upon the Sacred Mountain during the day, spreading to all directions.

Within the Sacred City, the first Tribulation Transcender since the changes in the heavens and earth has appeared, and he's a young man?"

In the assembly hall of a major sect, a powerful figure abruptly stood up, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the elder in charge of the sect's intelligence.

The other elders on either side of him wore similarly astonished expressions.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, it is true," the intelligence elder replied respectfully.

What he said next was even more shocking.

"Not only that, but according to Elder Chang's transmission, after the youth transcended the Tribulation, he went on a killing spree, slaughtering Xuan Ming and the others who emerged from the secret realm of Xuankong Mountain.

Even the Third Sage Lord, who personally intervened, was unable to stop him.

The Third Sage Lord was also defeated by that young man."

"Slaying the monks of Xuankong Mountain and defeating the Third Sage Lord?"

The sect master and the elders were utterly flabbergasted by these revelations.

After all, either of these feats was something they wouldn't dare imagine.

The monks of Xuankong Mountain were already formidable, and the individuals who emerged from the four secret realms were no pushovers.

Now, they were allegedly slaughtered by a young man?

As for the Third Sage Lord, they were all too familiar with his formidable might.

Not long ago, amidst the changes in the heavens and earth, to prevent Zhongzhou from descending into chaos, the Three Sage Lords had personally visited the major sects.

The Third Sage Lord had come to their sect.

The sect master and the elders still vividly remembered the awe-inspiring presence of the Third Sage Lord.

Merely by standing there without releasing any aura, he had instilled in them an overwhelming sense of invincibility, causing them to dare not make any rash moves.

That same Third Sage Lord, who had seemed so unfathomable and suffocatingly powerful, had been defeated by a young man?

For a moment, they questioned the veracity of the news.

Similar scenes played out in the assembly halls of the other major sects in Zhongzhou.

The first reaction of those who learned about the day's events in the Sacred City was disbelief.

But as they confirmed the news to be true beyond a doubt, the news created an even bigger stir.

Some wanted to immediately investigate Lu Qing's identity and background, while others sought to uncover every detail of what had transpired in the Sacred City that day. There were even those who set out immediately, determined to go to the Sacred City and find out the truth for themselves.

"Why has the first Tribulation Transcender appeared so soon after the changes in the heavens?"

On the peak of a lofty mountain, a figure exuding a terrifying aura held a jade plaque in his hand, his face grim.

"The rules of the heavens and earth have just begun to evolve, and I haven't even had the chance to thoroughly comprehend them.

And yet, someone has already summoned the Tribulation Clouds and successfully transcended the Tribulation?"

The figure's face twisted with displeasure.

He had always considered himself a peerless genius, unmatched in the world.

He barely gave the Three Sage Lords of the Sacred Mountain any regard.

In his opinion, those three old turtles only attained their power by occupying the advantageous position of the Sacred Mountain.

If he were in their place, he believed he would be even stronger than them.

He even looked down on the so-called Four Secret Realms.

With his high self-regard, he didn't bother going to the Sacred Mountain to learn some ancient technique.

Anything those three old fellows could offer was bound to be inferior to what he could achieve through his own comprehension of the rules of the heavens and earth.

In fact, ever since the changes in the heavens and earth and the revival of spiritual energy, he had made significant progress in his cultivation.

He had believed that he would be the first in the world to break through the bottleneck and enter a whole new realm.

But now, as he sensed the message conveyed by the jade plaque in his hand, he found it hard to calm his restless heart.

"To summon the Tribulation Clouds and transcend the Tribulation so soon after the changes in the heavens...

I must see for myself what kind of freak or monster you are!"

After a long while, the figure's expression finally eased, and he gazed at the sea of clouds before him, his eyes cold and sharp.

The next moment, he took a step forward and vanished from the mountain peak.
