Chapter 310
Lu Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly contemplating the insights of the domain simulated by his supernatural ability. The old doctor and the others watched him in silence.
They even stopped chatting, afraid of disturbing his cultivation.
Ti passed quietly, and at first, no one thought much of it. However, before they realized it, they suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from Lu Qing.
It was as if the might of the heavens had returned, suppressing everything.
The old doctor’s face changed slightly upon seeing this and imdiately said, "Everyone, step back. It seems Ah Qing has had an epiphany."
The group quickly retreated.
In truth, the old doctor didn’t need to say anything; they already felt an uncomfortable sensation. The aura radiating from Lu Qing, although faint, caused a suffocating pressure as if sothing terrifying was about to happen if they didn’t quickly leave.
As the group retreated to a safe distance, Lu Qing, who was in the midst of cultivation, also sensed it. Although he was receiving the insight in his mind, he wasn’t completely unaware of the outside world.
Once everyone was safely distant, he felt reassured and fully imrsed himself in understanding the insights of the domain within his mind.
This ti, his master had demonstrated all his insights into the domain through the small sword qi domain in his palm. The supernatural ability captured everything without omission, downloading and simulating it fully, transforming it into insights transmitted into Lu Qing’s mind.
This allowed Lu Qing to gain a true understanding of the domain.
"So that’s how it is. The so-called domain is actually about controlling the space around oneself. By infusing the power of the soul into the surrounding world, mastering the elental energy of heaven and earth, one can transform it into a domain, using various thods to confront enemies."
Various realizations erged in Lu Qing’s heart.
The application of a domain varies from person to person. Different insights can manifest in different ways. The Third Holy Lord, for example, lded his soul with the world, gathering elental energy from all directions to form a powerful force that oppressed others, which is one thod of domain application. His master’s delicate sword qi domain, on the other hand, was another thod entirely.
However, the paths they chose were different.
Furthermore, even within the sa domain, there are distinctions between strong and weak. The strength of the soul, the degree of control over elental energy, and the level of cultivation all affect the power of the domain.
"My master’s insight lies in the Dao of Water and Fire, so his domain controls the elental energies of water and fire. The mutual reinforcent of water and fire makes his domain much more powerful than an ordinary one. But what about ? What elental energies should I control?"
Lu Qing fell into deep thought.
Typically, after breaking through to the Precelestial Realm, martial grandmasters choose to focus on comprehending a single type of elental energy, cultivating a unique attribute true qi. Only a few, like his master, due to serendipitous opportunities, gain insights into the interdependence of water and fire, enabling them to cultivate two types of attribute true qi simultaneously, which not only do not conflict but also complent each other, accelerating the speed of cultivation.
After stepping into the Precelestial Realm, Lu Qing had never had enough ti to condense his own attribute true qi, so he was uncertain about what to choose. Should he perhaps cultivate all five elents?
Suddenly, this thought flashed through Lu Qing’s mind.
In fact, he had always had this idea. When his master first stepped into the Precelestial Realm, he explained that the human body contains the energy of the five elents. When deciding what type of true qi to cultivate, one can choose according to their inclination. At that ti, Lu Qing had asked if it was possible to cultivate all five elents simultaneously, cultivating five types of attribute true qi at once.
His master had replied that while it was theoretically feasible, human energy is limited. Simultaneously comprehending the five types of true qi would inevitably slow down cultivation. By the ti one finally achieved sothing, their lifespan might already be nearing its end. In that case, even if one ultimately cultivated the five types of true qi, what would be the point?
However, simultaneously comprehending the five elents was not difficult for Lu Qing. With his supernatural ability, he could learn anything at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people. Others might worry about their limited energy and dare not simultaneously comprehend multiple types of attribute true qi, but he had no such concerns.
Therefore, cultivating all five elents was the best choice for Lu Qing.
Once he made up his mind, Lu Qing imdiately settled down to begin condensing his attribute true qi.
Concentrating his mind and calming his breath, his soul power erged from the brow acupoint, connecting with the heavens and earth. Imdiately, Lu Qing sensed the colorful elental energy of the five elents in the world, as well as the spiritual energy full of vitality hidden in the higher spatial layers.
Seeing this, Lu Qing’s heart was stirred once more.
The world had changed, spiritual energy had revived, and its concentration was increasing daily. Before long, the world might return to the state of the ancient immortal cultivation era. At that ti, the path of immortal cultivation would undoubtedly flourish again, shining with new glory. The currently dominant martial path might gradually decline.
No, it shouldn’t be said to decline, but rather to return to its rightful place.
In fact, Lu Qing speculated that the current martial path might have branched off from the physical cultivation lineage of immortal cultivation. The thods of cultivation between the two are too similar, both involving the absorption and refinent of the world’s energy to temper oneself. The only difference is that martial artists absorb elental energy, while physical cultivators absorb and refine the higher-tier spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy also divides into the five elents, so perhaps it would be better for him to skip cultivating attribute true qi altogether and directly condense spiritual power.
Moreover, after refining the Nine Dao of World Origin Qi, his body had reached a state of emitting a divine glow, making it naturally suited for the path of physical cultivation.
With this in mind, Lu Qing’s thoughts imdiately shifted.
In his mind, nurous inherited techniques from the Li Huo Sect flashed by. Eventually, his focus settled on a few techniques.
These were the best physical cultivation techniques in the Li Huo Sect’s inheritance, all of which could be cultivated to the Golden Core stage.
After so selection, Lu Qing’s attention landed on one particular technique.
The Five Elents Body Refining Art—this was the na of the technique.
Coincidentally, this was also a cultivation thod for simultaneously cultivating the five elents. Its core involved absorbing the spiritual energy of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, cultivating five-elent spiritual power to strengthen the body. This was an extrely powerful physical cultivation technique. It was said that the Five Elents Body cultivated through this thod was exceptionally formidable, surpassing physical cultivators of the sa level by a significant margin.
However, this technique was also notorious for its slow progress. Even the powerful cultivator who created it ultimately only cultivated to the Golden Core stage before his life span ran out, leaving him to perish with regret without achieving a breakthrough.
After that cultivator’s demise, this physical cultivation technique gradually spread, and later it was acquired by the major sects of the ti. However, because of its slow cultivation speed and limited potential, it was mostly treated as a collectible, with few people actually practicing it.
The Li Huo Sect, being a fairly prominent sect in the world of immortal cultivation, naturally had this technique in its collection.
After reading through the information on the Five Elents Body Refining Art, Lu Qing decided this was the one for him.
The reason was simple: among the best physical cultivation techniques left by the Li Huo Sect, none exceeded the Golden Core stage. Since they all had the sa limit, he naturally chose the most powerful one.
As for the slow progress of the Five Elents Body Refining Art, he didn’t care. With his supernatural ability, he was confident enough that he could handle this technique.
Adjusting his mind to its optimal state, Lu Qing activated his supernatural ability and began to comprehend the Five Elents Body Refining Art.
A vast amount of understanding flooded from the depths of his mind, and Lu Qing rapidly absorbed these insights.
His understanding of the Five Elents Body Refining Art deepened continuously.
The Five Elents Body Refining Art was divided into three sections: Qi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt, and Golden Core. Each level contained a massive amount of information. Had it not been for Lu Qing’s breakthrough to the Precelestial Realm, where his soul talisman advanced to the Yang Talisman stage, undergoing a transformation in his soul power, he might not have been able to fully absorb all these insights.
Fortunately, this was no longer a problem for him.
Lu Qing was imrsed in countless cultivation insights.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed, but when he finally absorbed the last bit of insight, his mind trembled, and a clear understanding rose from within his heart.
He had basically mastered the Five Elents Body Refining Art, especially the Qi Refinent section, which he had thoroughly comprehended without any doubts or obstacles.
With a thought, his soul power once again erged from the brow acupoint, connecting with the world.
This ti, he ignored the colorful elental energy of the world, focusing his mind on the spiritual energy filled with vitality in the higher spatial layers.
This was also the first ti Lu Qing had so seriously perceived spiritual energy since stepping into the Precelestial Realm.
He then discovered that spiritual energy, though existing in a higher-dinsional space, was easy to sense with soul power due to its lively and vibrant nature.
However, extracting it and integrating
it into oneself was extrely difficult. One needed an exceptionally strong mind to achieve this.
This was the reason why, despite the revival of spiritual energy, very few people had managed to draw it into their bodies and refine it.
Most of today’s Precelestial Realm experts, unless they had special opportunities, generally did not have particularly strong soul power.
Lu Qing tried to extract a thread of spiritual energy from the higher space.
Given the strength of his current soul power, this was naturally not difficult for him.
Soon, he extracted a thread of spiritual energy and guided it into his dantian qi sea.
Then, he began refining it according to the Qi Refinent thod of the Five Elents Body Refining Art.
As he practiced the heart technique, it didn’t take long for Lu Qing to successfully condense his first thread of spiritual power.
But this was only the first step.
The spiritual energy he refined this ti was water-attributed, so the spiritual power he condensed was also water-attributed.
However, the Five Elents Body Refining Art required simultaneously condensing the spiritual powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, then using a profound heart technique to blend and rge them, refining them into the unique and powerful Five Elents Spiritual Power.
This was the true reason for the slow progress of the Five Elents Body Refining Art.
While others took one step to condense a thread of spiritual power, you needed to take five tis the ti to do the sa. If you weren’t slow, who would be?
This was also why, in the ancient world of immortal cultivation, few practiced the Five Elents Body Refining Art. No matter how powerful it was, the path of immortal cultivation ultimately sought longevity!
While strength was important, it was far less crucial than lifespan. No matter how strong one’s power, it could only bring montary glory. In the face of ti, one would ultimately end up as nothing more than a handful of yellow earth.
Only longevity was the ultimate pursuit of all cultivators.
Moreover, strength was not solely defined by spiritual power. Realm was also a manifestation of strength. No matter how powerful the Five Elents Body Refining Art was, it could only dominate within the Golden Core stage. When faced with cultivators beyond the Golden Core stage, it would still be crushed.
For all these reasons, naturally, even fewer people chose to cultivate this technique with its limited potential.
Of course, these weren’t issues Lu Qing needed to worry about for now.
Therefore, after condensing his first thread of spiritual power, he imdiately began sensing and extracting the next thread of spiritual energy.
This ti, he chose a thread of wood-attributed spiritual energy.
Once again, he easily extracted it and attempted to integrate it into his dantian qi sea.
Perhaps due to his body having refined the Nine Dao of World Origin Qi, there was no conflict when he introduced wood-attributed spiritual energy into his dantian. It even cooperated, allowing him to refine it smoothly.
While Lu Qing was condensing spiritual power, the old doctor not far away sensed the aura emanating from him and beca sowhat surprised.
"This is the aura of spiritual power. Has Ah Qing beco a Qi practitioner? But why are there two different attributes of spiritual power within him? Does he intend to cultivate multiple attributes simultaneously?"
The old doctor had himself condensed both water and fire spiritual powers, but he didn’t expect Lu Qing to walk the sa path.
For a mont, he felt a bit concerned.
He could condense two types of spiritual power because he had comprehended the interdependence of water and fire. But Ah Qing had not comprehended a similar concept. The old doctor wondered whether he could manage the conflict between multiple spiritual powers.
Nevertheless, despite his concerns, the old doctor didn’t speak up to interrupt.
He knew Lu Qing’s nature well; his disciple would never undertake sothing he wasn’t confident about. Since Lu Qing dared to condense multiple types of spiritual power, he must have his own confidence.
While the old doctor worried, Lu Qing successfully condensed the wood-attributed spiritual power.
Without hesitation, he continued to condense the third thread of spiritual power.
Thus, as Lu Qing continued his efforts, five threads of spiritual power of different attributes eventually appeared in his dantian.
Looking at the five distinct spiritual powers occupying five positions in his dantian qi sea, Lu Qing steadied his mind.
The most critical mont had arrived.
He needed to use his powerful mind to operate the heart technique, blending and rging these five threads of spiritual power to refine the true Five Elents Spiritual Power.
This process was extrely dangerous; any slight mistake could lead to a violent explosion due to the conflicting five elents. At best, he would be seriously injured with a damaged qi sea, and at worst, his dantian qi sea could be destroyed, rendering him a cripple.
However, having co this far, Lu Qing naturally wouldn’t back down. Moreover, he believed that with his current foundation and control over himself, he could successfully refine the Five Elents Spiritual Power without any mishap.
Encouraging himself, Lu Qing returned to a state of calm and began operating his heart technique to blend the five threads of spiritual power in his dantian.
Under the powerful urging of his mind, the five threads of spiritual power began to converge in the center and rge.
Lu Qing watched this closely, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
To his great surprise, the fusion of the five threads of spiritual power went unexpectedly smoothly.
Almost effortlessly, they rged.
Soon, a brand-new thread of spiritual power appeared in his dantian.
