Chapter 309

The gray figure couldn’t believe it—how could a youth who had just entered the Precelestial Realm see through the true nature of the puppet avatar? After all, these puppet avatars, crafted by the three brothers, were meticulously refined by the ancient Heavenly Puppet Sect.

Even in the previous Immortal Cultivation Era, it would require a cultivator at least in the Foundation Establishment stage to detect the subtleties within them.

No matter how powerful Lu Qing was, he was still just a newcomer to the Precelestial Realm. How could he possibly possess such insight?

“This boy is no ordinary youth. To be able to trigger the Tribulation Clouds the moment the world first began to change, and successfully overcome the tribulation at such an early stage of the rule evolution, there must be something extraordinary about him, something beyond our imagination. What’s strange about him being able to see through my puppet avatar?”

The Third Holy Lord shook his head, disagreeing with his second brother’s thoughts.

He recalled yesterday’s battle with Lu Qing, particularly the calm and unruffled eyes of the boy. It was as if nothing about him could be hidden; he felt completely seen through. That sensation still sent a chill up his spine.

That youth was too enigmatic. In all his centuries of life, he had never felt so utterly exposed by someone before. This unease was even more disconcerting than the terrifying strength the youth had displayed.

“The first to cross the tribulation after the world's changes, huh,” the gray figure mused. “This child must harbor a great secret. Unfortunately, he was too wary to come up the mountain. If he had, no matter how capable he was, he wouldn’t have been able to escape our grasp. It’s a pity we were in seclusion last time he came to the mountain. If we had detained him then, perhaps we could have glimpsed his secret.”

The Third Holy Lord remained silent, not entirely agreeing with his second brother’s suggestion. In fact, he was somewhat relieved that the youth hadn’t come up the mountain. After all, as a dignified Holy Lord, standing at the peak of the world, he couldn’t bring himself to scheme against a mere youth. His pride wouldn’t allow it.

“Enough, Second Brother. Don’t entertain such thoughts anymore. We have been granted the opportunity to cultivate here by the will of the Sacred Mountain, which is already the greatest fortune in this world. As long as we cultivate step by step, there may still be hope of breaking free from our shackles in the future. That youth is clearly favored by Heaven and Earth, an anomaly of this era. There’s no need to provoke him unnecessarily, lest we invite troubles that we’ll regret later.”

The black figure, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke, his tone calm yet commanding. The gray figure didn’t dare to slack off, his expression turning serious as he replied earnestly, “Yes, I understand. I was only concerned because Third Brother suffered a loss. I merely wanted to see what was so special about that youth. I had no intention of doing anything to him. Now that he’s unwilling to come, let’s drop the matter.”

The black figure shook his head, knowing that his second brother wasn’t being entirely truthful. It was unfortunate that he had been in seclusion, comprehending the new rules of Heaven and Earth’s evolution last night, and couldn’t prevent his second brother from issuing the Holy Decree. He didn’t know if the youth had already become suspicious. It seemed they could only find an opportunity to make amends later.

Sighing inwardly, the black figure closed his eyes and resumed his contemplation of the Heaven and Earth’s rules. These matters were trivial in comparison to their cultivation progress. Although they had been recognized by the Sacred Mountain’s will and granted a great opportunity, that opportunity was also a shackle. If they couldn’t reach a sufficiently high realm and break through the cage within their lifetime, they would be forever trapped in the Sacred Mountain, unable to escape.

Lu Qing and his group were riding in a carriage, speeding along with the help of formations. It wasn’t until dusk that they finally stopped, having traveled thousands of miles away from the Sacred City, truly distancing themselves from the magnificent giant city.

“You two blockheads, are you satisfied now?” Mago laughed and scolded the two Dragonblood Horses, who were snorting and full of energy. The two creatures seemed to have been cooped up in the Sacred City for too long. Once they left the city, they sped off so fast that Mago nearly lost control of the carriage. It took a couple of lashes to calm them down, or else they might have run wild indefinitely. After freeing the two blockheads from their harnesses and letting them forage on their own, Lu Qing and the others began setting up camp and preparing dinner.

After a busy evening and a meal, they gathered around the campfire. Lu Qing took out a jade bottle and said, “Master Ma, Zian, I have something for the two of you.”

“What is it?” Mago and Wei Zian looked over.

“This jade bottle contains the World Origin Qi that I took from those monks of Xuankong Mountain. I used some, but there’s still plenty left. Do you want it?”

Mago and his disciple were stunned, staring intently at the jade bottle in Lu Qing’s hand. It took a while before Mago gulped and said with difficulty, “Brother Lu Qing, are you saying you want to give us the World Origin Qi that those Precelestial Realm experts in the Sacred City were fighting to the death over?”

“That’s right. This World Origin Qi can usually only be refined by a single person. Among us, only you and Zian don’t have any. Since there’s extra, each of you should refine a portion.”

As Lu Qing finished speaking, he willed two streams of World Origin Qi out of the jade bottle, which floated toward Mago and Wei Zian and entered their bodies. He then took out two jade tokens and handed them to them.

“With your current strength, you won’t be able to refine the World Origin Qi on your own. You should refine and bind these jade talismans and keep them on you at all times. They’ll conceal your good fortune, preventing Precelestial Realm experts from sensing it.”

Mago and Wei Zian took the jade talismans, their minds still reeling as they felt the warmth of the tokens in their hands. It was hard to believe what had just happened.

In the Sacred City, Mago and Wei Zian had witnessed firsthand the madness of the Precelestial Realm experts fighting over the World Origin Qi. They still vividly remembered the terrifying aura of over a dozen Precelestial experts storming into their small courtyard that day. If not for Lu Qing and the old doctor’s strength, they would have not only lost the World Origin Qi but also likely their lives.

Later, they heard from the Tianji Tower Master that more than twenty Precelestial experts had died that day in the Sacred City fighting for the World Origin Qi. The number of Postnatal Realm cultivators who perished was even higher, too numerous to count. It was unimaginable how fierce the struggle for the World Origin Qi had been in the Sacred City.

And now, this rare and priceless opportunity, coveted by so many powerful cultivators, had easily fallen into their laps. It felt like a dream to Mago and Wei Zian—one they couldn’t believe was real.

Seeing their stunned expressions, Lu Qing didn’t disturb them, letting them slowly digest the news. He had long decided to give them a portion of the World Origin Qi. They had all endured hardships together on this journey to Zhongzhou, supporting each other through thick and thin. Mago, in particular, had served as their driver without complaint, diligently fulfilling his duties without a single word of discontent. Since everyone else had gained immense opportunities, Lu Qing naturally wouldn’t be stingy. The World Origin Qi was no longer of much use to him, so he happily shared it with them, making everyone satisfied.

After a long while, Mago finally snapped out of his daze. Looking at the jade talisman in his hand, he asked somewhat sheepishly, “Brother Lu Qing, how do I refine this talisman?”

“You and Zian just need to drip a drop of your blood onto it,” Lu Qing replied.

Without hesitation, they pricked their fingers and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the talismans. They immediately sensed a connection with the talismans, understanding how to use the power within. Surprised and delighted, they began toying with the talismans.

Seeing them so engrossed, Lu Qing smiled and turned to the old doctor who had been watching the scene with a smile. “Master, there are some things I’d like to ask your guidance on.”

“What is it?” The old doctor looked at him curiously.

“Master, I’ve nearly perfected my [Intention], but I still have no clue about domains. Your understanding of domains is extremely profound—how did you comprehend it?”

Domains are a very special realm within the Precelestial stage. Not all Precelestial cultivators can comprehend a domain. In fact, the vast majority, even those who have fully mastered the Precelestial stage, struggle to grasp it. Precelestial experts who possess a domain are as rare as those who have reached Precelestial perfection.

Although Lu Qing had delved deeply into the realm of [Intention], comprehending it far beyond most Precelestial experts, he still had no understanding of domains and hadn’t even found a way to enter that realm.

“You mean domains?” The old doctor was taken aback by Lu Qing’s question and fell into deep thought. After a while, he hesitantly said,

“Ah Qing, I’m afraid I can’t teach you this. When I first comprehended my domain, it was a sudden flash of insight during a moment of chance. I’m not sure I can explain how it happened.”

“I see,” Lu Qing muttered, pondering. It seemed domains were indeed difficult and elusive, so much so that even his master couldn’t explain how he had comprehended his own. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “Then, Master, could you show me how your domain operates? Maybe I can gain some insight from observing it.”

“Of course,” the old doctor readily agreed, extending his hand. The next moment, a sphere of light formed above his palm, within which countless threads of sword qi appeared, weaving and intertwining in a complex, mysterious pattern. The sword qi, alternating between red and white, flowed with a captivating beauty.

This extraordinary sight immediately drew everyone’s attention. They all stared in awe at the sphere of light in the old doctor’s hand.

“Master’s control over his domain has reached such a level?” Even Lu Qing was quietly astonished. His master had made it look easy and effortless, but in truth, only someone with an extremely high level of control over their domain could conjure such a delicate and intricate miniature domain with just a flick of the hand.

Though small, Lu Qing could feel the immense power condensed within that sphere. If unleashed, it would be difficult even for a Precelestial master to withstand.

During his battle with the Third Holy Lord, Lu Qing had been impressed by the Holy Lord’s technique of merging with the world, manipulating the surrounding elemental energy with ease. But now, seeing his master’s miniature sword qi domain, he was equally amazed. His master’s ability was no less formidable than the Third Holy Lord’s.

“Master is truly a prodigy. His understanding of cultivation far surpasses mine,” Lu Qing marveled inwardly. He didn’t dare delay and quickly activated his special ability, focusing intently on the miniature sword qi domain in his master’s hand.

Seeing Lu Qing’s serious expression, the old doctor didn’t hold back, revealing all his insights into domains through the transformations of the miniature sword qi domain in his hand.

Lu Qing watched the changes in the domain closely. Soon, several text prompts appeared in his vision:

[Sword Qi Domain: A miniature sword qi domain condensed and refined by Chen Songqing using his spirit to manipulate the world’s elemental energy.]

[Though small, the domain contains immense power. Once unleashed, it is formidable.]

[The domain integrates the forces of water and fire, enhancing its potency.]

[Detected inheritance. Would you like to download and simulate?]

Seeing the final prompt, Lu Qing’s heart leaped with joy. He knew his method had succeeded. Just as his special ability had allowed him to download and simulate his master’s techniques while cultivating the Health-Nourishing Boxing, it could do the same now.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing mentally selected “yes.”

[Downloading... Current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.]

[Download complete. Would you like to simulate?]

Lu Qing continued to choose “yes.”

[Simulating... Current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.]

[Simulation complete. Would you like to learn?]

“Master, that’s enough. You can withdraw your domain now,” Lu Qing said once his ability had successfully completed the download and simulation.

“You’ve already gained some understanding?” the old doctor asked.

“I’ve had some insights, but I need time to ponder them. You can withdraw your domain for now, Master.”

The old doctor nodded and dispersed the domain. Maintaining a domain, even a miniature one, wasn’t easy. Fortunately, he had only conjured a small domain. If he had fully deployed it, it would have been taxing. After all, sustaining a domain consumes a great deal of mental energy, and even at his level, he couldn’t maintain it for long.

As his master withdrew the domain, Lu Qing didn’t waste any time. He sat cross-legged where he was, closed his eyes, and mentally selected “learn.”

In the next instant, a vast amount of knowledge about domains surfaced in his mind, shaking his very soul.

“So this is what a domain is?”
