Chapter 515: Encountering a Primordial Soul Realm Master, a Long Journey, and the Heavenly Yuan Grand World!

Chapter 515: Encountering a Primordial Soul Realm Master, a Long Journey, and the Heavenly Yuan Grand World!

As the cold voice faded, a massive black qi palm suddenly appeared in the starry sky, reaching out towards the voidboat.

"A Primordial Soul Realm expert!"

Lu Qing was taken aback.

The sudden appearance of this black qi palm, with its overwhelming power, was far beyond what a Golden Core Realm cultivator could muster.

Only a Primordial Soul, someone above the Golden Core stage, could possess such a formidable technique.

The black qi palm swept down like a net, trapping the voidboat.

The surrounding space was compressed and condensed, making it almost impossible for the boat to move.

Lu Qing knew he couldn't hesitate.

His eyes narrowed, and a fierce sword qi emerged from his body. The golden core within him burst with power, reaching its peak in an instant.

In the next moment, a razor-sharp sword qi was unleashed.

After being amplified by the voidboat's array, it transformed into an enormous sword qi, soaring into the sky to meet the black qi palm.

Boom!

The sword qi and the black qi palm collided, releasing a powerful shockwave that distorted the surrounding space.

The massive force of the collision, though it didn't shatter the black qi palm, made it tremble and significantly reduced its pressure on the space within the palm.

Seizing this opportunity, Lu Qing immediately activated the voidboat's spatial traversal ability.

As the spirit stones in the array shattered, a spatial vortex appeared, and the voidboat vanished from the black qi palm's grasp.

"What!"

The cold voice, sensing that his palm had missed, was stunned.

A dark figure suddenly appeared.

But no matter how he searched, he couldn't find any trace of the boat.

"Did they really escape?" The dark figure couldn't believe it.

His Great Luo Hell Palm was his signature move.

Once unleashed, even a newly ascended Primordial Soul would find it hard to escape.

How could he fail to catch a few Golden Core Realm youngsters?

What kind of extraordinary treasure was that dilapidated boat, allowing it to pierce through space and escape under his suppression?

Ordinary spatial spirit treasures didn't possess such power.

"Ancestor, what happened?"

At that moment, several figures appeared and knelt before the dark figure.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura, all being late-stage Golden Core Realm experts.

"Nothing, I was wandering the stars when I came across a few youngsters. I intended to capture them, but I was careless, and they managed to escape."

The dark figure waved his hand, feigning nonchalance.

"To escape from Ancestor's hands..."

The figures were astonished upon hearing this.

They knew all too well how terrifying Ancestor's powers were.

If those few could escape Ancestor, could they also be Primordial Soul Realm experts?

Ignoring their shock, the dark figure gazed into the distant starry sky, his mind in turmoil.

"That sword qi had a hint of the power to cleave through heaven and earth. Could that youngster be a disciple of that legendary sect?"

The dark figure was inwardly alarmed, far from the calm he displayed.

If that youngster truly was a disciple of that sect, he had really stirred up a hornet's nest.

He should have used his full strength to capture him.

Now that he's escaped, it will be a constant threat in the future!

While the dark figure was ruminating, a million miles away in the starry sky, a spatial vortex appeared, and the voidboat emerged from it.

As soon as it appeared, Lu Qing's mind surged, scanning the surroundings.

Finding everything calm and no one in pursuit, he let out a deep sigh of relief.

In the emergency, he hadn't had time to replace the spirit stones, so he had relied on the remaining essence in the array to activate the spatial traversal. The distance he could cover was limited.

If that Primordial Soul expert had any means to track them, they would be in trouble.

But it seemed their luck held, and they had managed to escape.

Only then did Lu Qing realize he had been gripping his hands tightly, drenched in sweat.

The brief confrontation had been the greatest crisis he had faced since beginning his cultivation.

The black qi palm's power was so overwhelming that it almost trapped the voidboat.

The attacker was no ordinary Primordial Soul expert.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been trapped and unable to escape.

Fortunately, while the Primordial Soul expert was powerful, he hadn't yet mastered the spatial arts.

He couldn't follow the voidboat's traces through space.

Otherwise, they would have been truly inescapable.

"Fortunately, years of study have uncovered some of the voidboat's hidden abilities. Otherwise, we would have been in real trouble."

Lu Qing felt a sense of relief.

Earlier, he had been able to shake off the Black Qi palm entirely thanks to the Voidboat.

Over the years, as he delved deeper into the mysteries of the Voidboat, he had discovered a unique ability it possessed.

While the Voidboat itself had no offensive capabilities, Lu Qing found that the formations within it could amplify his attacks.

Without this, even as a Perfect Golden Core cultivator, he would have found it difficult to resist a seasoned Primordial Soul's Dao techniques and powers.

"Ah Qing, what was that just now?"

Xiao Li, still shaken, asked.

Beside her, Wu Xing's tail was trembling with unease.

"It must have been a Primordial Soul attacking us. Fortunately, we managed to escape unharmed", Lu Qing said with a smile.

"Indeed, a Primordial Soul..."

Xiao Li and Wu Xing were deeply shaken.

When they first saw the terrifying Black Qi hand that seemed to blot out the stars, they had their suspicions.

Now, with Lu Qing's confirmation, they felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

The Primordial Soul who had suddenly attacked them clearly had malicious intent, and its aura was overwhelmingly evil.

If they hadn't managed to escape, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

"Primordial Souls are truly formidable. We need to be even more cautious from now on."

This sudden encounter made Lu Qing more vigilant.

The outside world was indeed fraught with danger.

They hadn't even delved into the bustling territories of the Grand Yuan Immortal Domain, and they had already encountered a Primordial Soul.

It was hard to say what other dangers might lie ahead, so they needed to be even more cautious.

"Absolutely!" Xiao Li and Wu Xing nodded in agreement.

Especially after feeling the terrifying power of the Primordial Soul, their pride had been thoroughly humbled.

Originally, the two of them had been quite confident in their high-grade demon cores.

But in that moment, they had been utterly useless.

It was only thanks to Lu Qing's burst of power that they had managed to escape by a hair's breadth.

In the face of a Primordial Soul, their strength was truly insignificant.

Lu Qing replaced the lower-grade spirit stone in the Voidboat and continued on his journey.

However, he secretly noted the coordinates of that starry sky.

Being attacked without retaliation was not in Lu Qing's nature.

His cultivation was still shallow, and he had to flee in a rather disheveled manner.

But once he reached the Primordial Soul Realm, he would definitely return to confront that mysterious Primordial Soul.

In the days that followed, Lu Qing became even more cautious.

When passing by smaller worlds, he would rather take a detour than risk getting too close.

Even so, they encountered several more crises along the way.

A few Primordial Souls from those worlds detected them and tried to intercept them.

Fortunately, the Voidboat's mysterious properties, combined with Lu Qing's vigilance, allowed them to escape before the Primordial Souls could make their move.

They managed to avoid these dangers with only a few scares.

Five years passed.

One day, Lu Qing stopped the Voidboat, hovering in the starry sky, and did not continue forward.

"Ah Qing, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yan and Wu Xing, who had been meditating with their eyes closed, awoke when they sensed the movement.

"We've arrived", Lu Qing said.

"Finally, we're here?!"

Xiao Li and Wu Xing were initially stunned, then their eyes lit up with joy.

For over five years, they had spent every day in the Voidboat, with nothing to do but cultivate.

Even while cultivating, they didn't dare to enter deep meditation, fearing they might miss any unexpected events and not wake up in time.

Now, hearing that they had finally reached their destination, the two of them were almost glowing with excitement.

They immediately ran to the front of the boat and looked ahead.

And in the next moment, they were all stunned.

In front of them, a vast world floated in the void.

Five smaller worlds orbited around it like guards, slowly revolving around the central world.

The overwhelming aura of this world deeply shook Xiao Li and Wu Xing, leaving them speechless and unable to take their eyes off it.

Lu Qing was also profoundly moved.

After more than five years of travel, enduring numerous trials, they had finally arrived.

"Such a vast world..."

At that moment, a figure appeared beside Lu Qing, also gazing ahead in amazement.

It was "Yan", who had been in seclusion within the Fire Cauldron for a long time.

At this moment, "Yan" was equally overwhelmed.

The vastness of the world ahead was simply breathtaking.

The light of this world, like boundless radiance, made his home world seem insignificant in comparison, like a mere firefly.

"Ah Qing, is that enormous world ahead our destination?"

After a long while, Xiao Li finally regained her composure and asked excitedly.

"Indeed, that is the world we are heading to, the Heavenly Yuan Grand World", Lu Qing nodded. "But before we go, we need to make some preparations."

Yes, Lu Qing's goal for this journey was the Heavenly Yuan Grand World.

According to the Stellar Map, it was one of the five most powerful grand worlds in the Grand Yuan Immortal Domain.

It was also the closest grand world to his home world.

Finding a celestial meteorite, Lu Qing landed the voidboat and activated an array to completely conceal it.

Over the past five years, Lu Qing had been fully focused on piloting the voidboat.

Especially after the first encounter with the mysterious Primordial Soul, he dared not let his guard down, let alone practice cultivation.

He feared that any unforeseen event might catch him off guard.

Even with numerous magical treasures and the support of the Divine Soul Talisman, his mental state was still incredibly fatigued after five years.

So he planned to rest for a few days, adjusting his condition to peak form before setting out again.

After hiding the voidboat, Lu Qing took out a spirit stone, held it in his hand, and entered the deepest state of meditation to recover.

Xiao Li and Wu Xing stood guard beside him, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings to protect him.

A few days later, when the spirit stone in Lu Qing's hand was depleted of its energy, he opened his eyes, a divine light flashing in them.

After several days of rest, he had fully restored his condition to its peak.

Moreover, he felt that the mental cultivation over these five years had made his soul power even purer and more resilient. The Divine Soul Talisman in his Mind-Piercing Point emitted a faint glow, hinting at a potential breakthrough.

Noticing this, Lu Qing felt a surge of joy.

Since breaking through to the Yang Talisman stage, his Divine Soul Talisman had grown in power under the nourishment of the Earth Spirit Pearl, but it had not achieved a qualitative leap.

Even when he passed the Heavenly Tribulation and entered the Golden Core Realm, it only significantly increased his soul power without further transformation.

According to the records of the Divine Talisman Sect, the Divine Soul Talisman usually required the baptism of the tribulation lightning to cleanse the negative energy and transform from yin to yang, reaching the Yang Talisman stage.

This was generally a realm that could only be achieved at the Golden Core Realm.

Who would have thought that there was someone like Lu Qing, who could trigger the tribulation lightning and refine his soul power when breaking through to the Xiantian Realm?

In a sense, Lu Qing's realm had reached the necessary level at the time, but his soul power accumulation was insufficient, which prevented the Divine Soul Talisman from fully unleashing its power.

After he achieved the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realm, he gradually made up for the lack of soul power.

However, there had been no qualitative transformation.

Now, after five years of mental cultivation, he finally felt the signs of a breakthrough again.

"After this breakthrough, I should be able to reach the intermediate stage of the Yang Talisman. Whether it's casting talismans or setting up arrays, my power will increase significantly", Lu Qing thought with joy.

The cultivation of soul power was much more difficult than the cultivation of magical energy.

It couldn't be improved simply by absorbing spiritual energy.

He had entered the Yang Talisman stage much earlier than achieving the Golden Core Realm.

However, his magical energy and Golden Core had progressed more quickly afterward.

If not for the limitations of the spiritual energy in his home world, he might have already reached the Fourth or even Fifth Circulation Realm.

Fortunately, this period of mental cultivation had given him a direction for soul power cultivation.

Perhaps in the future, he could follow this path and develop it further.

"Coincidentally, the inheritance from the Divine Talisman Sect I obtained is no longer sufficient to support my cultivation. This time, when I enter the Heavenly Yuan Grand World, I need to find some soul power cultivation techniques."

The inheritance left in the Jadeification Chamber was incomplete.

It could only take one to the Golden Core Realm, which was the Yang Talisman stage.

Lu Qing had not obtained the higher cultivation techniques.

This was one of the reasons why his Divine Soul Talisman had been progressing slowly after reaching the Yang Talisman stage.

Therefore, this time when entering the Heavenly Yuan Grand World, Lu Qing planned to search for some soul power cultivation techniques.

However, before he went in, he still had some preparations to make.

With this thought, Lu Qing's mind stirred, and he entered the Fire Cauldron.
