Chapter 416: Seclusion Again, Multicolored Winged Serpent
12-10-2024
"No wonder Senior Yan was so concerned before. There is indeed a gap as vast as a chasm between the Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm."
High in the sky, Lu Qing transformed into a radiant beam, swiftly heading back towards the village.
As he flew, he also sensed the changes after his breakthrough.
The most noticeable change was the ability to fly after entering the Golden Core Realm.
Once a cultivator achieves the Golden Core, they can fly directly into the Azure Sky without relying on artifacts, simply by vibrating their mystic power.
And this is just the most basic flying ability.
If one cultivates the specialized Teleportation Flight Technique, their speed can be even faster.
Just like Lu Qing now, even with only mystic power flight, his speed was no slower than when he used the Golden Boat before.
Once he cultivates the various techniques of the Golden Core Realm, especially the flight technique, his speed will increase even more.
In the blink of an eye, he can travel a hundred miles with ease.
In addition to flying, there are also improvements in physical strength, mystic power, and soul power.
Everything about Lu Qing was significantly stronger than before his breakthrough.
This was a qualitative difference, a true transformation of life.
The gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Golden Core Realm was indeed enormous.
Especially for Lu Qing, who had achieved a perfect Golden Core, the difference was even more exaggerated.
The two were not even on the same level, completely incomparable.
As for the Bai Pao Qing Nian, the fact that Lu Qing could slay him in the Foundation Establishment Realm only showed that his foundation was too weak.
Lu Qing guessed that the opponent was at most an Inferior Grade Golden Core; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily defeated.
After entering the Golden Core Realm, even without using the Golden Boat, Lu Qing's speed remained impressive.
Soon, he returned to Nine Li Village and landed in front of the Half-Mountain Courtyard.
"Ah Qing!"
Ever since Lu Qing mentioned going for a breakthrough, the Great Doctor had been worried.
Especially after Lu Qing officially started his tribulation crossing, the terrifying aura of the heavenly tribulation could be vaguely felt even in Nine Li Village, making the Great Doctor anxious and unable to focus on his cultivation.
So, he decided to stop cultivating and wait for Lu Qing's news.
Seeing Lu Qing return, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, I'm back," Lu Qing said with a smile as he saw his master.
"Did you successfully cross the tribulation?" The Great Doctor asked.
"Yes, I was fortunate to cross the thunder tribulation and have successfully entered the Golden Core Realm," Lu Qing nodded.
"Good, good," the Great Doctor's face lit up with joy.
He sensed Lu Qing's aura and found it as vast as an abyss, with a profound and complete sense of harmony.
He had felt this sense of harmony before in the Bai Pao Qing Nian.
However, Lu Qing's was not as domineering and flamboyant, but its depth was far superior.
"Master, please keep my entry into the Golden Core Realm a secret for now. This way, we can remain hidden while our enemies are exposed, increasing our chances of success."
"I understand," the Great Doctor replied.
Since only he knew about Lu Qing's tribulation crossing, keeping it a secret was relatively easy.
"Also, Master, I just broke through. I'm afraid I'll need to seclude myself for a while to familiarize myself with the power of the Golden Core Realm," Lu Qing added.
"Good, go ahead and seclude yourself. Cultivation is the priority. I'll keep an eye on the village," the Great Doctor said immediately.
Half an hour later, Lu Qing returned to his home once more.
This time, instead of rushing into cultivation, he entered a psychic state and immersed himself in the Flame Cauldron.
"Master!"
Within the Spirit Artifact Space, the Demon Cultivator saw Lu Qing's figure and immediately approached him with joy.
Just as he was about to bow to Lu Qing, he suddenly froze.
He sensed the aura emanating from Lu Qing's Divine Soul and his eyes revealed an incredulous expression.
"Master, have you entered the Golden Core Realm?"
"Get lost, Demon Brat!"
Before Lu Qing could respond, a flame descended upon the Demon Cultivator, blasting him away. He tumbled repeatedly and flew into a corner.
Immediately after, the figure of "Flame" appeared beside Lu Qing, glancing at the Demon Cultivator with disdain before bowing to Lu Qing and saying, "Young Master."
Being humiliated in such a manner, a hint of resentment flashed in the Demon Cultivator's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
He knew that within the Spirit Artifact Space, no matter what, he couldn't compete with this crawling Artifact Spirit.
"Once I retrieve my body, there will come a day when I'll beat you up so badly that you'll be crawling on the ground, begging for mercy!"
The Demon Cultivator thought with intense resentment.
But soon, his vision went dark, and when he came to, he found himself trapped in a spatial cage.
He instantly understood that this was the doing of the crawling Artifact Spirit, who didn't want him to hear their conversation.
"That damn crawling Artifact Spirit!"
The Demon Cultivator's heart filled with even more hatred.
However, soon his mind was drawn to another matter.
"Master has truly entered the Golden Core Realm, and it's only been a short while?"
Although the Demon Cultivator had formed a Soul Contract with Lu Qing and was enslaved by his Divine Soul, allowing him to communicate with Lu Qing at any time, this communication was one-sided. Unless Lu Qing actively contacted him, he couldn't sense any information from Lu Qing.
Therefore, he had no prior knowledge of Lu Qing's Divine Soul changes.
That was why he was so shocked earlier. After not seeing Lu Qing for a while, the aura of his Divine Soul had become so powerful, far surpassing the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The implications revealed by his Divine Soul even made the Demon Cultivator's heart tremble.
"Senior, you still hate demons like enemies," Lu Qing said with a smile as he saw "Flame" imprison the Demon Cultivator in the spatial cage.
"This Demon Brat has ill intentions. Every time, he tries to deceive you, Young Master, to regain his demonic body. In my opinion, you should have eliminated him long ago."
"Flame" let out a cold snort, not hiding his disdain for the Demon Cultivator in the slightest.
"This demon still has its uses; let's keep it around for now."
Lu Qing didn't have any particular liking for the Demon Cultivator either, but his origins might be of some use to him in the future, so for now, he wanted to keep this strand of the Demon Cultivator's Divine Soul.
"Oh, and Senior Flame, what did you summon me for?"
Indeed, it was "Flame" who had summoned Lu Qing into the Flame Cauldron earlier, which was why he hadn't immediately started cultivating and instead brought his mind into the space.
"Flame" fell silent for a moment: "Young Master, have you forgotten something?"
"Forgotten something?" Lu Qing was taken aback.
"This is it."
"Flame" waved his hand, and two separate spatial cages appeared before them.
In one of them was the headless corpse of the white-robed youth.
In the other was a multicolored winged snake, roaming around and constantly ramming its head against the surrounding spatial barrier, trying to break through.
"This little snake has been causing a ruckus in this spatial cage ever since you threw it in here. It hasn't stopped for a moment.
When do you plan to tame it?"
"Flame" said with a hint of helplessness.
