Chapter 591: Chapter 382: Breakthrough, Foundation Establishment Stage!

“Young Master Lu, I’ve thought it over, and after listening to your explanation of the Immortal Cultivation,” Little Yan said. “I find myself quite interested in Magic Cultivation.”

Lin Zhirui had stood by the spirit field for a long time before finally returning to the courtyard to speak with Lu Qing.

“Magic Cultivation, huh…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing wasn’t surprised; he smiled and nodded, “That’s simple. Once Mr. Zhirui, you completely transform the True Qi in your body into Spiritual Power, I can teach you a Magic Cultivation Technique.”

“Young Master Lu, can you really do that?”

Although he had already anticipated it, Lin Zhirui was still overjoyed when Lu Qing actually spoke the words.

Even feeling somewhat nervous.

After all, that was the Immortal Cultivation Technique, a method covetously sought even by many top sects in Central State.

Lu Qing was discussing passing it on with such ease.

“It’s just the basic Immortal Cultivation Technique. Mr. Zhirui, there’s no need to be formal, the path of cultivation is long, sometimes requiring mutual support to go further.

Qi Refinement is merely the start of the Immortal Cultivation, and there’s still a long journey of cultivation ahead.”

Lu Qing’s meaningful words plunged Lin Zhirui back into contemplation.

…

Time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, another month had gone by.

During this month, Lu Qing, who had been concerned about the forthcoming fifth Heaven and Earth Dao Sound, found it had not occurred.

He could feel that the Rules of Heaven and Earth had evolved to a limit two weeks earlier.

But it hadn’t triggered the fifth Heaven and Earth Dao Sound or moved into the next phase of evolvement.

It was as though it was brewing something.

This made Lu Qing realize that the fifth Heaven and Earth Dao Sound must be extraordinary.

Once it sounded, there would likely be significant changes between heaven and earth.

It was just uncertain how long it would brew before it transformed.

However, the absence of the Heaven and Earth Dao Sound didn’t hinder Lu Qing’s advancement in Cultivation.

In fact, after more than a month of refining, his accumulation had finally reached its limit, reaching a point where a breakthrough was necessary.

So, he found some time to once again return to the Jade Cave, preparing for a closed-door breakthrough.

Inside the Jade Cave, where two months had passed since the spiritual energy last exhausted by Lu Qing was once again replenished.

And it was even richer, almost reaching a state of becoming mist-like.

Seeing this, Lu Qing was very satisfied.

His accumulation was too profound, and the breakthrough would require an astonishing amount of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy gathered by the village alone wouldn’t be enough.

That’s why he chose to break through in the Jade Cave.

Indeed, it didn’t disappoint him here; the spiritual energy was denser than he anticipated and should support his needs for the breakthrough.

Sitting in the quiet room, Lu Qing fully activated the grand formation inside the cave and confirmed there were no issues.

With a slight stir of his mind, he released his Heart and Spirit and no longer suppressed the impulse within his body to breakthrough.

At the next moment, spiritual energy surged in the quiet room, and Lu Qing’s Physical Body immediately began to transform.

Lu Qing followed the path of Body Cultivation, and the breakthrough of Body Cultivation first transformed the Physical Body.

Under his perceptions, his already extraordinarily strong Physical Body began to undergo a deeper transformation.

Bone marrow, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, acupoints…all became more vibrant and lively.

And all these transformations required a strong support of spiritual energy.

Lu Qing’s body, like a bottomless pit, continuously devoured the spiritual energy in the cave, which was then refined and purified by his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Five Elements Gourd, for his use in the breakthrough.

Fortunately, during these two months, the Jade Cave had accumulated enough spiritual energy.

Along with the grand formation constantly gathering the external nature’s spiritual energy.

Otherwise, it might not have supported the needs of Lu Qing’s breakthrough.

Lu Qing entered into the deepest meditation, and the “Yan” within the Leaving Fire Tripod also closely observed his breakthrough.

It saw Lu Qing swallowing the nearly condensed mist-like spiritual energy into his body and felt secretly astonished.

It was only a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage; back in the Li Huo Sect, it had seen it countless times.

Yet, it had never seen anyone’s breakthrough requiring the swallowing of such an immense amount of spiritual energy.

This scene, if not for the absence of Heavenly Tribulation, was almost comparable to a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.

“Yan” couldn’t help but feel expectant in his heart.

Lu Qing’s foundation was exceptionally solid.

During the Qi Refinement Stage, his physical body had already reached the level of Body Shining, comparable to a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

His strength was no less inferior to those at the Perfect Foundation Establishment.

What level would his strength reach after this breakthrough?

In the Jade Cave, there was no sight of daylight.

Only the walls, emitting fluorescent light, illuminated everything.

Of course, this couldn’t confuse “Yan.”

As an artifact spirit, it naturally wouldn’t be so easily misled in its perception.

Its grasp of time was exceedingly precise.

Lu Qing’s breakthrough had lasted for three days and nights.

Until the morning of the fourth day, his body suddenly shook, dispersing the still thin spiritual energy around him, causing the entire cave to tremble slightly.

A formidable aura emerged from him.

It was like an ancient behemoth, extremely terrifying.

Lu Qing opened his eyes, his gaze filled with joy.

His breakthrough this time was very smooth; although it was a major realm breakthrough, it did not trigger a Heavenly Tribulation like his previous advancement into the Innate Realm.

There were no difficulties or twists along the way; everything was like a natural course of events, effortlessly completed.

This was the advantage of having a solid foundation and deep accumulation.

Those cultivators who struggled at every single realm, encountering life and death situations.

Mostly, it was because their accumulations weren’t ample enough and their foundations weren’t forged solidly.

That’s why they encountered various obstacles and found breakthroughs difficult.

“Is this the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

Inside the Jade Cave, Lu Qing extended his hand, looking at the light shining on his skin, feeling the overwhelming power within his body, his expression indescribable.

At this moment, he could feel that his physical body was several times more formidable than before the breakthrough.

The spiritual power within his Dantian was also surging tremendously.

Even the Divine Soul Talisman in his forehead’s acupoint had greatly strengthened.

Now, if he were to face the Grey Robed Old Monk again, without using any other methods, he could probably defeat him with his physical strength alone.

“Congratulations, Young Master, on your successful breakthrough. To enter the Foundation Establishment Stage at such a young age, even in the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, you would be considered a rare talent,” “Yan’s” phantom appeared next to Lu Qing immediately and said in congratulations.

“It’s just entering the Foundation Establishment Stage. The path of cultivation is vast and unending. The Foundation Establishment Stage is just the starting point of cultivation; I still have a long way to go,” Lu Qing shook his head.

“Yan” didn’t speak.

Indeed, the Foundation Establishment Stage was merely the beginning of cultivation.

During the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, in some major Cultivation Sects, it might not even be enough to enter the Inner Sect.

But Lu Qing was different.

Although he had just broken through, judging from the aura he had just revealed,

“Yan” surmised that now he could possibly even contend against someone in the Golden Core Realm.

“Senior ‘Yan’, how long did my breakthrough take?” Lu Qing asked.

“Not more, not less, exactly three days.”

“Three days, huh? That’s longer than I expected,” Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

“Young Master, your profound accumulation naturally takes longer to breakthrough.”

“Since we’ve been out this long, let’s head back first.”

Though Lu Qing wanted to test how much his strength had increased,

the Jade Cave was somewhat cramped for fully displaying his capabilities.

Moreover, he had promised Little Yan that this trip wouldn’t take long.

He could always test his abilities slowly once they returned to the village.

And after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he needed to change his cultivation plans and carefully strategize.
