Chapter 363
As the youngest of Lu Qing’s grandchildren, this child was very special. Lu chaoxi had more than one child and grandson. However, his previous descendants were all slightly inferior in terms of status. Only Lu tingwan had a father who was the Emperor and a mother who was the Empress.
Then what was there to say? He was almost certain to be the Crown Prince of Great Yan in the future.
Of course, this was a world where strength was everything. The inheritance of the throne, bloodline, and status were all important. However, if the heir’s cultivation was too weak, it would definitely not work. The Emperor was a golden core cultivator, and he was already on the weaker side. In the beginning, Yunxiao sect was more inclined to let Lu Qing become the Emperor himself, but Lu Qing was not willing to do so no matter what. Yunxiao sect had no choice but to do so. After all, the Lu clan could do as they saw fit.
But for an Emperor to not even have a Jindan level, that was really a bit ridiculous.
Unless it was a puppet emperor like li Chengzong, no one would care about this, and they would rather it be as weak as possible.
However, there was nothing to worry about. Cultivators with heaven spiritual roots did not need to worry about their future cultivation development.
However, Lu Qing still felt a tinge of regret.
Of course, the fire heaven spiritual root was good, but it would be even better if it was the metal Heaven spiritual root or the wood heaven spiritual root. After all, Lu Qing had two divine-grade cultivation techniques, the immemorial sacred white sword manual and the immemorial creation book, which were specially provided for cultivators with heaven spiritual roots to cultivate. If he could cultivate a divine-grade cultivation technique with these two spiritual roots, it would definitely be wonderful.
Now, with the fire heaven spiritual root, he could only use the ‘infinite flame control technique’ that Lu Qing had left behind to cultivate. This cultivation technique itself had no major problems, and it was good at offensive techniques. It was quite powerful in fights of magical powers, but after all, its quality was only at the level of wondrous grade. In the ordinary cultivation world, a wonderful-grade cultivation method with good characteristics was already very good. However, for a top cultivation talent like the heavenly spirit root, a wonderful-grade cultivation method seemed to be a waste of talent.
However, there was another embarrassing point for Lao Ai. In the entire Yan Kingdom, he had never heard of any fire element cultivation method that was above the wondrous grade. Even the Yunxiao sect did not seem to have one.
There was no other way.
However, it was not as if Lu Qing did not have any other methods in the end. There were 21 primordial Immortals, and they probably had all kinds of attributes. When he unlocked the seals step by step and found the traces of other primordial Immortals, he would eventually find a way to obtain the fire-type cultivation method.
Although I don’t know when that will be, Yingluo.
......
Another five years passed quickly. Lu Qing’s cultivation level had already reached the stage where he was close to perfection in the second level.
He was definitely not stingy with the clan’s cultivation resources. He had never stopped eating all sorts of cultivation pills. Moreover, due to his special talent of the sacred body of stars, his tolerance and digestion of the star power in the secret realm outside the starry sky were much better than that of ordinary cultivators.
In this way, he could cultivate more frequently in the secret realm, and the effect would be much better than others.
In addition, he also made use of the spirit gathering temple once, and went in for one year and worked for ten years.
In short, with this cultivation, his cultivation had advanced to the peak of nascent soul state level two, which was expected.
However, from the time Lu Qing had advanced to the nascent Soul Stage until now, it had probably been 20 years. For a normal nascent Soul Stage cultivator, this amount of time would probably only be enough for them to stabilize their cultivation and figure out the power and cultivation methods of the nascent Soul Stage. For a genius among geniuses, it was already very impressive for them to reach the peak of nascent soul state level one in 20 years.
Lu Qing, on the other hand, was about to reach the third-level nascent soul realm in 20 years.
Due to the help from the spirit gathering temple and the secret realm beyond the starry sky, Lu Qing’s training was equivalent to 60 years of hard work. But even if he used sixty years to calculate, reaching nascent soul third level soon was a relatively fast speed, not to mention that he was cultivating such a difficult cultivation method.
Not to mention, when he was facing the small bottleneck of the third level, he still didn’t feel any difficulty, as if he could casually push open this door.
Just as he was about to go out for a walk to change his mood and come back to break through the barrier of nascent soul state level three, his family sent him some news: The clan had already completely conquered the secret realm beyond the starry sky.
There were five secret realm buildings in the secret realm beyond the starry sky.
The star furnace and the silver Sky corridor had already been conquered.
All these years, the clan’s development of the secret realm had never stopped. Like the other three secret realm buildings, they were also gradually being attacked.
Lu Qing did not participate in this personally. With the clan’s current strength, they could completely deal with it.
In Lu Qing’s opinion, the functions of these three Mystic realm buildings were quite useful.
Wandering yard
a cultivator of the family can enter the wandering courtyard and undergo a battle trial through the star power illusion.
[ the Piao ling house can be activated once every five years. Each time it is activated, it can accommodate 100 people. ]
[ the wandering courtyard needs to consume a large amount of star power as its energy source every time. ]
The functions of the Piao ling house were actually quite useless. After Lu Qing heard the explanation from the clan members, he knew that this place was purely for the clan’s cultivators to have some opportunities to train in actual combat.
Of course, it was useful. He could enter it without paying any price. He could train his combat skills in simulated life and death situations.
But all in all, it was just that. It was not a particularly big surprise.
As for the secret palace and the morning light tower, they were like a replica of the silver Sky corridor, except that their functions were different.
After a cultivator passed through the silver Sky corridor, the distance they covered could be regarded as a result, which could be used to strengthen and temper the cultivator’s body. The effect of the ‘secret palace’ also had this pressure-bearing link, but the final result was that it could strengthen the cultivator’s spiritual power.
The dawn light tower strengthened a cultivator’s control over their spirit force or true essence.
Compared to the combat training of the wandering courtyard, Lu Qing placed more importance on these two things.
However, no matter what, the secret realm ‘beyond the starry sky’ was a great fortune of the Lu family.
Other than strengthening cultivation, the five secret realm buildings each had their own functions.
The star furnace could greatly increase the production of the Lu family’s forging industry. The wandering yard could also increase the combat experience of the cultivators of the Lu family. This way, the cultivators of the Lu family would not be like chickens that had never seen blood when they were out on the streets with powerful equipment and good cultivation. As for the other three, they could directly strengthen the abilities of the Lu clan’s cultivators.
Just because these five buildings had been destroyed didn’t mean that there were no more Star Palace guards in the secret plane.
In fact, looking at the entire secret realm, only about half of the star Palace guards in the secret realm had been killed by the Lu family.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t destroy the remaining ones, but that they didn’t want to.
Although the star furnace could also produce star power crystals and play the same role as star power weapons, in terms of refining, the continued production of the Lu family’s star power magical equipment could already be considered a brand.
However, the more materials he had, the better it was. The star furnace was a path of sustainable development, but directly killing the star Palace guards was a faster way to obtain materials.
Therefore, they didn’t need to kill them immediately. They had to plan and hunt them according to their needs.
Moreover, when it came to combat experience, it was not impossible to keep these Star Palace guards as Foundation Stage cultivators of the clan. They could work for the clan and at the same time temper their combat skills.
It seemed that most of the benefits in the secret realm ‘beyond the starry sky’ had fallen into the hands of the Lu clan.
However, in the secret realm, there was still a Big Boss-the person from Starlight who stayed in the main hall in the center of the secret realm.
...
Lu Qing still remembered that when the ‘beyond the starry sky’ Mystic realm had first appeared, he had entered it alone to explore it. When he entered the central hall, he had encountered the humanoid star.
That star person had said a bunch of nonsense to him.
At that time, he was, of course, in a daze. He did not understand what the other party meant at all. And now, Lu Qing had obtained more and more information about the primordial era from various aspects. He could roughly understand what the people of the star had said back then.
There was another point. Based on the information Lu Qing had obtained from the primordial inheritance in the divine Deer Forest, the humanoid star was also one of the 21 immemorial Immortals. According to what white sword immortal had said to him, this humanoid star didn’t come from this world, but from the outer world.
It sounded a little like the Ice Queen.
If this was the case, then this secret realm outside the starry sky might be a small world, just like the world where the Ice Queen had first lived. In the end, for some reason, he fell into the cultivation world.
However, that World of Ice and snow had merged with the original world of the cultivation world, eventually forming the icy Plains of the extreme north. Outside the starry sky, although it did not merge with the cultivation world, it had become a secret realm attached to it.
For a secret realm,’outside the starry sky’ was actually not small. Out of the three secret realms that the Lu clan owned,’beyond the stars’ was actually the largest. The ancient secret realm was only that big of a broken place. The mystic realm that was transformed from the divine Deer Forest was not considered small. After all, it could accommodate thousands of demons. However, it was still much smaller compared to the space outside.
However, for a secret realm, no matter how big the space outside the starry sky was, it could not be compared with an entire world-even if it was a small world.
Lu Qing looked into the distance from the secret realm. There were many sceneries in the distance. Although the style was the same as the one outside the starry sky, this place should have been much bigger since an unknown number of years ago.
It was likely that when he had fallen into the origin world from the starry sky, he had also experienced some tribulations. Lu Qing even believed that the secret realm he was in was merely a fragment of the original ‘space beyond’.
...
In other words, this was a broken world.
However, no matter what, Lu Qing had to meet the person from Starlight who sat on the throne in the central hall of the secret realm.
The last time they met, it was in the state of higher consciousness, so the interaction was one-sided. After that guy said something, he sat there without moving as if he was dead. At that time, Lu Qing only had the strength of a golden core cultivator. How would he dare to meet him in person? After all, from what he could sense, this alien was at least at the nascent soul level.
But now, he was not afraid of anything.
Of course, he could not be careless. If this Starlight person was really one of the twenty-one immemorial Immortals, even if it was just a low-level incarnation or projection, it was still left behind by an immortal. His appearance was so similar to that of the immortals in the past that Lu Qing did not dare to treat him as an ordinary nascent soul realm cultivator.
However, there was no need to belittle himself.
With his current abilities, even if he were to encounter a battle, he wouldn’t be unable to escape if he couldn’t defeat that guy.
He had to go and meet her.
Of course, not now.
He didn’t know if there would be a need for a fight. Maybe it would be over after a friendly conversation between the two sides?
However, he still had to make some preparations.
In any case, he was about to break through to nascent soul state level three. He had originally planned to go out for a walk and relax before breaking through, but now it seemed that he had to make full use of his time.
He put away the idea of relaxing, turned his head and went back to his closed-door cultivation room to start cultivating.
For six months, Lu Qing paid no attention to the outside world. When he came out again, he was already at the third level of the nascent soul realm.
At this point, he didn’t hesitate any longer and entered the secret realm ‘beyond the starry sky’.
The sparse Star Palace guards were completely unable to hinder him. He first went to the vicinity of the star furnace and took a look at how the clan’s refining workshop was operating. At the same time, he also met with the clan’s people who were stationed there. Then, he headed to the central area of the star Palace.
Lu Qing casually killed a few ignorant people who were blocking his way. He then kept their star power weapons into his storage bag and arrived at the entrance of the central hall.
He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and pushed the door open.
Standing outside the palace’s Gate and looking into the distance, a human-shaped creature made of dazzling Starlight sat on the throne.
He did not move from his throne, but his empty eyes were looking at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing did not make the first move as he did not seem to have any intention of attacking.
He walked forward step by step, and at the same time, he said some probing words, ”
“Senior? Do you remember me?”
The alien had no reaction.
Lu Qing continued to walk forward for a distance. He kept saying a few words, but he did not receive any response.
This made people feel that they were only facing an empty shell.
A change occurred when Lu Qing crossed the middle line of the central hall.
A ball of starry fire ignited under his feet without any warning!
