Chapter 387: Minor Divine Ability, Explosive Strength
November 10, 2024
"So that's how it is."
Senior Doctor Lu listened to Lu Qing's words, and understanding dawned on him.
Although he didn't know how long it would take to stabilize the newly broken through Golden Core Realm, he could tell that Lu Qing had already prepared for it.
"So, Master, there's no need to worry. Even if there are powerful cultivators in the Floating Mountain who have reached the Golden Core Realm, we don't necessarily have to fear them."
Lu Qing said with a faint smile, his tone filled with unwavering confidence.
"Ah Qing, it's good that you have confidence."
Senior Doctor Lu didn't doubt Lu Qing's words because he knew that his disciple never did anything without certainty.
While the Golden Core Realm was indeed powerful, Lu Qing's fearlessness indicated that he had good reason to be confident.
After his master left, Lu Qing continued to comprehend the evolution of the Heavenly and Earthly Laws around him.
Previously, with his lower cultivation realm, his understanding of the laws was extremely shallow.
Now, after stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage, although his comprehension was still limited, he could gradually grasp a hint of its essence.
"Young Master, are you really not worried that the old cultivators in the Floating Mountain will break through the Primordial Realm and come looking for trouble?"
The figure of "Flame" appeared beside Lu Qing.
"What, even you, Senior 'Flame,' are worried? As a venerable Artifact Spirit, you've seen countless Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, and yet you're concerned about the Golden Core Realm?"
Lu Qing teased.
Unexpectedly, "Flame" turned serious.
"I know that you, Young Master, are exceptionally talented and can be considered invincible among your peers.
But the Golden Core Realm is different. Those who have evolved and harnessed their Magical Energy are far more powerful than what Foundation Establishment cultivators can imagine.
The same spell, when activated by Spiritual Energy versus Magical Energy, has a qualitative difference in power.
So, Young Master, you must never underestimate any Golden Core Realm cultivator."
Seeing the seriousness in "Flame's" words, Lu Qing became solemn as well.
"I will remember your advice, Senior 'Flame.' Rest assured, I do respect the power of the Golden Core Realm.
Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't take the risk of provoking them."
"Flame" looked at Lu Qing for a while and nodded when he saw that he wasn't joking:
"It's good that you understand, Young Master. Although the Flame Cauldron and the Heaven and Earth Qi Bag are powerful, your realm is still relatively low, and the power you can harness is limited.
Even with two Spirit Artifacts in hand, it would be difficult to fare well against a true Golden Core Realm cultivator."
"I understand."
"Flame" didn't say anything more.
Although he had been with Lu Qing for so long, there was still an air of mystery about him that "Flame" couldn't fully see through.
Since Lu Qing seemed so confident, he must have some secret ace up his sleeve.
The following days remained peaceful, and Lu Qing continued to comprehend the evolution of the Heavenly and Earthly Laws, gradually grasping its intricacies.
On this day, during his meditation, a sudden enlightenment filled his heart, and a realization rose within him.
An enigmatic aura emanated from his body.
"I've finally cultivated this Minor Divine Ability, 【Great Strength】, to a minor level of success.
My current strength, compared to a Golden Core Realm Body Cultivator, probably isn't far behind."
Lu Qing felt the surging power within him, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
He could sense that with his current strength, a slight tremor would be enough to completely destroy the bamboo grove behind the mountain.
This power had surpassed the scope of the Foundation Establishment Realm and was likely on par with the Golden Core Realm.
"Young Master, what's happening to you?!"
"Flame," who resided in the Flame Cauldron, materialized a phantom beside Lu Qing, his illusory face filled with shock.
Lu Qing's aura surged, causing even the not-yet-fully-recovered being to feel a heart-palpitating sensation.
This was definitely not the power that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator should possess.
"Senior 'Flame', there's no need to panic. It's just that I've made progress in cultivating a secret art," Lu Qing explained.
"Secret art?"
The look of astonishment on "Flame's" face did not fade.
It was somewhat incredulous, wondering what kind of secret art could have enhanced Lu Qing's strength to such an extent.
At least back then in the Blaze Sect, there was certainly no such terrifying secret art.
At this thought, "Flame's" heart stirred, and a hint of worry appeared on its face.
"Young Master Lu, some secret arts may temporarily boost your strength, but if they consume your potential, it's not worth the risk."
Lu Qing was taken aback but quickly understood what "Flame" was implying.
"Is Senior 'Flame' suspecting that I've cultivated some demonic secret art?" Lu Qing asked with a smile.
"Flame" remained silent, but its intention was clear.
Especially when it thought about the mysterious demon cultivator's soul sealed in the Flame Cauldron.
That demon cultivator had been subjected to soul enslavement by Lu Qing, and the two could communicate through the enslavement mark.
Could it be that the demon cultivator had truly bewitched Lu Qing?
"Young Master Lu, demon cultivators are always cunning and treacherous. Their words are often filled with lies and traps. You must be cautious and discerning, and never take their words at face value."
"It seems that Senior has truly misunderstood."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing instantly understood what "Flame" meant.
It thought that Lu Qing had been bewitched by the demon cultivator and had cultivated some demonic art that harmed his own foundation.
However, "Flame's" concern still warmed Lu Qing's heart.
At least this ancient artifact spirit was genuinely looking out for him.
"How is it that you, Young Master Lu, did not cultivate the secret art given by that demon cultivator?"
"Of course not. I cultivate the Five Elements Body Cultivation Art, which you are familiar with. How could I possibly practice those demonic cultivation methods that damage one's foundation?" Lu Qing shook his head.
"Then, what about your strength..."
It wasn't that "Flame" didn't believe Lu Qing, but the enhancement of Lu Qing's strength was beyond comprehension.
Aside from those demonic arts that traded potential and foundation for power, "Flame" couldn't think of any other secret art that could enhance Lu Qing's strength to this degree in such a short time.
Seeing this, Lu Qing suddenly smiled.
"Senior 'Flame', have you heard of the Path of Divine Abilities?"
"Divine Abilities?"
"Flame" was startled, then its eyes widened. "Young Master Lu, you're talking about Divine Abilities?!"
Its voice became somewhat sharp.
"Indeed."
Lu Qing dispersed the power of divine abilities within his body, and the aura around him gradually subsided.
"During my tribulation, I was fortunate to receive a heavenly grant of a secret art of divine abilities. It was only recently that I gained some insight and made progress in cultivating this art."
"It's actually a divine ability..."
"Flame" was stunned, muttering in awe.
As an artifact spirit that had lived for tens of thousands of years, "Flame" naturally knew what divine abilities were.
But divine abilities were extremely rare, and even in the ancient immortal era, only a few fortunate cultivators possessed them under very lucky circumstances.
And those cultivators, if they grew smoothly, almost all became colossal figures, and they were among the top powerhouses in the entire cultivation world.
Now, Lu Qing also possessed divine abilities?
