Chapter 1000: Chapter 636: Another 10 Years, Heavenly Cold Continent, Ice Soul Valley 2

The young man whispered gently.

Indeed, this young man dressed in a leather coat is none other than Lu Qing, who had disappeared for some time in the Heavenly Origin Great World, and whom numerous sect forces had failed to locate despite their best efforts.

As for the little white beast, naturally, it was Little Li.

"It’s all thanks to your intricate Transformation Technique, Ah Qing, that even Primordial Spirit Great Powers cannot see through our changes," Little Li said somewhat proudly.

"Yes, who would have thought your mastery of the ’Nine Transformations of the True Dragon’ could actually allow transformations."

Lu Qing was rather surprised as well; the ’Nine Transformations of the True Dragon’ was indeed a cultivation technique handed down by an elder in the secret realm.

The subtlety and mystery of it exceeded his expectations.

After Little Li succeeded in cultivating the first transformation, he completely mastered an art of transformation.

He could change himself into any appearance as he wished.

This transformation was fundamental, so even Primordial Spirit Great Powers couldn’t discern the truth from falsehood.

It was because of this that he felt confident bringing Little Li out.

"It’s only that dumb snake that hasn’t fully grasped the first transformation yet," Little Li said with dissatisfaction.

"Its aptitude in the Five Elements isn’t as good as yours; it’s normal for its cultivation to be slower," Lu Qing laughed.

Over the years, the Five Elements had been cultivating the ’Nine Transformations of the True Dragon’ alongside Little Li, but it was much slower in mastering it compared to Little Li.

It was barely at the beginner stage of the first transformation and was still unable to fully master it, thus it couldn’t transform yet.

So Lu Qing had to let it continue cultivating in the Qiankun Bag.

"Hmph, hopefully that dumb snake can master it soon, or it’ll miss opportunities and start whining when that happens."

Listening to Little Li’s complaint, Lu Qing smiled and then walked toward an inn.

Soon, he rented a small Golden Core Cave Mansion and moved in.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Lu Qing began to ponder his next course of action.

Honestly, back then at the Tianshu Divine Mountain, he had thought it might cause a stir but never imagined it would make such waves.

The day he slew several Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators and left Tianshu Divine Mountain, he found a secluded cave, set up an array, and went into a long seclusion.

He was completely unaware of the events happening outside.

This seclusion lasted for over ten years.

It wasn’t until he emerged that he realized not only had the Holy Alliance issued a bounty on him, but many sect forces and noble families had also placed a high price on his head in the Netherworld Palace.

Fortunately, when exiting seclusion, he had already adopted a new identity, or he might have faced assassination attempts upon entering the first city.

But the good news is that it has been over a decade since the battle at Tianshu Divine Mountain.

Now, few mention the events of that battle, and it has gradually been forgotten.

Coupled with the Perfect Golden Core’s Transformation Technique.

As long as Lu Qing doesn’t slip up, no one should be able to tell he’s Chen Qing.

In fact, that’s exactly how it is.

After exiting seclusion, Lu Qing traveled the world with Little Li.

Now, a year later, he had visited numerous cities to rest, and without exception, no one could recognize their true identities.

The reason Lu Qing came out of seclusion was rather simple.

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck.

Currently, his path of the Dao cultivation had reached the ninth transformation’s perfected state of the Golden Core Realm, and his cultivation in the path of the witch had reached the Great Achievement Realm of the Golden Witch.

Other various Taoist skills, divine skills, and so forth were also cultivated to their current limit.

Originally, he wanted to continue cultivating, but the biggest problem was that he still hadn’t successfully deduced the tenth transformation of the Perfect Golden Core Skill.

When he first went into seclusion, Lu Qing thought that with the ten Primordial Spirit Realm cultivation techniques he had acquired, combined with other skills like the Sky-breaking Sword Qi and the Seven Star Sword Array he mastered, he could deduce the tenth transformation of the Perfect Golden Core Skill.

However, when he actually started deducing, he realized it was far more difficult than he imagined.

Because those Primordial Spirit Realm techniques, although intricately mysterious, were far superior to Golden Core Level techniques.

But they described a higher level of power.

Regarding breaking the limits and surpassing the conventional ninth transformation, there was still very little mention.

This limited the inspiration Lu Qing could gain from them.

Making it so that he spent a long time but still had no clue on the framework of the tenth transformation of the Golden Core.

Realizing this, Lu Qing came to a clear understanding.

The tenth transformation of the Golden Core is a realm that breaks the limits and goes beyond the ordinary.

None of the great powers who created those Primordial Spirit Realm techniques ever reached that realm, or perhaps they didn’t even know about the tenth transformation of the Golden Core Realm.

Since that’s the case, how could there be any mention of it in their cultivation techniques?

Even if it was occasionally mentioned, it was merely conjecture and couldn’t be used as empirical evidence.

Therefore, his hope to discern the tenth transformation of the Perfect Golden Core Skill from it was almost impossible.

His only path was to rely on his wisdom and the mysteriousness of his superpower, putting aside the influence of common cultivation techniques.

To find that sliver of possibility in the impossible, and only then would he have a chance to create that transcendent tenth transformation cultivation technique.

After coming to this understanding, Lu Qing decided to come out of seclusion.

In this year, he and Little Li traveled the world, witnessing various wonders, comprehending the changing energies of heaven and earth, and combining these with the enigmatic Chapters of the Taoist text in his mind.

Gradually, he began to form a slight understanding of the tenth transformation of the Perfect Golden Core Skill.

However, this bit of inspiration was not yet clear and required further pondering and comprehension, before eventually seizing it at the right moment!

After contemplating for a while, Lu Qing focused his thoughts on the matters at hand.

This time he came to Earth Fire City because a few days ago, he saved several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who had frozen to death in a snowstorm filled with Celestial Gale Wind.

Through these cultivators, he learned that Earth Fire City would witness the manifestation of Divine Mysterious Snow Valley from the void in about half a month.

The Divine Mysterious Snow Valley appears every fifty years, and each time it appears, it spews forth a large number of Exotic Treasures with Cold Ice Attributes, known as one of the most renowned opportunities in the Heavenly Cold Continent.

Upon hearing about such an intriguing matter, Lu Qing naturally wanted to witness it for himself.

Though Cold Ice Attribute treasures were not highly useful to him,

they were extremely suitable for Little Yan.

If he could collect some, he could take them back to his home world as gifts for the little girl.

Thinking of Little Yan, Lu Qing sighed again.

It had been over twenty years since he left his home world, and he had no idea how Little Yan was doing now.

He certainly wasn’t worried about his master.

His concern was that, at the time of his departure, Little Yan’s temperament was not yet mature enough.

As time had passed, he feared that girl’s personality might have changed, leading her to resent him.

"At most ten years. If within ten years I can’t create the tenth transformation, I’ll directly achieve the Primordial Spirit and return to my home world."

Lu Qing gradually set a deadline for himself.

Indeed, now he had reached the perfected realm of the ninth transformation Golden Core, and the core he condensed was a Perfect Golden Core.

If he wished, he could summon the Heavenly Tribulation at any time to transcend it and achieve the Primordial Spirit.

With his foundation, once he achieved the Primordial Spirit, both his potential and strength would be far superior to those of cultivators who achieved the Primordial Spirit with a lesser Golden Core.

However, knowing there’s a realm beyond the ninth transformation, how could Lu Qing possibly not attempt to break through it casually?

After all, he possessed a superpower and Chapters of the Taoist text; it’s not an entirely unreachable realm.

Yet, stubbornly fixating on such a pursuit can be detrimental, leading to mental obstructions and forming heart demons.

Thus, Lu Qing set a limit for himself: if within ten years he could not deduce the tenth transformation, he’d directly breakthrough, stepping into the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Calming his restless emotions, Lu Qing closed his eyes, activated his superpower, and continued to interpret and comprehend the Taoist Chapters.

In a trance, half a month quickly passed.

As he meditated and comprehended, Lu Qing suddenly felt a peculiar change in the world.
