Chapter 1049: Chapter 660: Physical Body Breakthrough, Perfection of the Golden Witch, Reentering the Divine Soul Space

But fortunately, these expenditures were worth it.

He felt for a moment, and now, his Mana, Physical Body, and Divine Soul Power had all reached the realm of Golden Core Perfection.

With the Perfect Golden Core as the core, bridging the Physical Body and Divine Soul, harmonizing and complementing each other, achieving perfect integration.

The condition could be described as unprecedentedly good, and his strength had reached the peak since he embarked on cultivation.

"Although I’ve only cultivated my Physical Body to the perfection of Golden Witch, the perfection of all three parts makes my strength at least twenty to thirty percent stronger than before."

Lu Qing clenched his fist, feeling the boundless power within his body, silently estimating.

Although it was just a small breakthrough in the Physical Body, the increase in strength certainly surprised him somewhat.

Moreover, with Mana, Physical Body, and Divine Soul all achieving Golden Core Perfection, he also very clearly felt the barrier at the limits of the Golden Core.

To break through that barrier, Essence Qi, spirit, and Divine Soul must be unified, then with great determination and perseverance, it might be possible.

However, after estimating his remaining Spirit Stones, he abandoned the idea of breaking through now.

Currently, the remaining Middle Grade Spirit Stones in his hand are less than ten thousand.

Just to break through the Physical Body from great success to perfection of the Golden Witch, cost him several thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

The remaining Spirit Stones are certainly insufficient to support breaking through the limits to the realm beyond the ninth transformation.

"There’s no choice, I can only continue to accumulate Spirit Stones."

Lu Qing sighed, took out the Netherworld Jade Token, and directed a wisp of Divine Soul Power into it.

The next moment, his Heart and Spirit should follow the array within the Netherworld Jade Talisman, entering an unusual space.

The Divine Soul Space was no different from when Lu Qing last entered it.

It still had the same lively scene of people coming and going.

It made Lu Qing marvel once again at the profound foundation of the Netherworld Palace.

He already knew that this Divine Soul Space was just for the assassins of the Netherworld Palace in the Heavenly Origin Great World to communicate, but the number was already quite considerable.

It’s worth noting that those who passed the trials of the Outer Members of the Netherworld Palace were at least experts in the Golden Core Realm.

Such a large number of Golden Core Realm experts constitute a very formidable force.

If utilized, probably no Sect Force could resist it.

And this was merely a small portion of the Netherworld Palace’s power.

Returning to the task hall, Lu Qing first went to the wall displaying many tasks to see if there were any suitable bounty tasks.

Although he had already decided to take on the assassination task against Gong Shulian,

he still wanted to see if there were other tasks he could complete casually at the time.

After all, time was very precious to him.

This time, Lu Qing focused mainly on the Grade C tasks.

Grade D tasks were easy to complete, but their rewards were not substantial.

Most were worth only a hundred or so Middle Grade Spirit Stones, which were a drop in the bucket for his goals and not worth the time to complete.

After watching for a while, Lu Qing suddenly saw a bounty task in a remote position.

[Qiao Rong: After killing, you can receive ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones by presenting the head.]

Lu Qing originally had little interest in this task, but when he saw the description of the woman named "Qiao Rong" under the task, he paused and slowly read.

Then, a knowing look appeared in his eyes.

"So, this woman named Qiao Rong is actually the head lady of the third branch of the direct lineage of the Gongshu family, and also the mother of that Gongshu Yu."

Lu Qing suddenly remembered that shortly after entering the Heavenly Origin Great World, he was publicly targeted with a bounty in the Netherworld Palace.

The person behind it seemed to be the mother of Gongshu Yu.

The Canglan City Lord Nangong Yuanwu, who guided him into the Heavenly Origin Great World, was later assassinated by assassins from the Netherworld Palace, seriously injured, and nearly killed.

The person who posted the bounty task was also this wife of the Gongshu family.

Because when she posted the bounty task at the time, she did not hide her background in order to vent her hatred, making it known to everyone that she was avenging her son.

"Wasn’t it said that later the Gongshu family and the Nangong family had reconciled under the Holy Alliance’s mediation, and the bounty in the Netherworld Palace was revoked? Then who secretly issued this bounty task, Nangong Yuanwu, or another enemy of the Gongshu family?"

Lu Qing checked and found that the person who posted this bounty task chose to hide their origin.

He did not know if it was Nangong Yuanwu who was unwilling to accept it and secretly issued an assassination task for revenge, or if it was someone else who had a grudge against Qiao Rong.

Or perhaps it was a third party that wanted to deliberately muddy the waters, sow discord, and rekindle the feud between the Gongshu and Nangong families.

However, these things did not affect Lu Qing.

He looked at the task, thinking to himself: "City Lord, whether or not you posted the bounty, let me take revenge for you, as a token of repayment for the kindness you showed me when bringing me up."

Lu Qing heard that although Nangong Yuanwu was not killed in the assassination, he was seriously injured and even faced the possibility of losing all cultivation.

No one knew whether his strength had recovered all these years.

Since he was going to assassinate Gong Shulian, it was on the way, so he would also deal with this Qiao Rong.

Once he made up his mind, Lu Qing walked to the counter.

The person attending him was still the woman wearing a rabbit mask.

"Senior, are you sure you want to take on these two assassination tasks?"

The rabbit-masked woman couldn’t help but ask after seeing the two tasks Lu Qing wanted to take.

"That’s right, why, is there a problem? Both of these tasks are Grade C tasks. I am now a Grade C assassin, so I should be able to take them."

Lu Qing frowned a little, had something gone wrong again?

"No, no, Senior’s assassination level has increased, so naturally, you can take these two tasks."

The rabbit-masked woman quickly explained upon sensing Lu Qing’s tone.

In the Divine Soul Space, assassins couldn’t investigate each other’s identities, but these Netherworld Palace internal personnel could identify their Netherworld Jade Tokens.

So she could recognize that the person in front of her was the Senior who, not long ago, took ten Grade D tasks at once and completed them all within a month.

"I really wonder what kind of enmity this Senior has with the Gongshu family." The rabbit-masked woman couldn’t help but think.

She hadn’t forgotten that when Lu Qing first entered the Divine Soul Space, the task he wanted to take was to assassinate Gong Shulian.

Having found out that only Grade C assassins could take that task, he took ten Grade D tasks at once and elevated his assassination level to Grade C.

Now, his first task after becoming a Grade C assassin was still to assassinate Gong Shulian, along with a task to kill a direct lineage wife of the Gongshu family.

She couldn’t believe there wasn’t a huge grudge involved.

Her mind raced with gossiping thoughts, but her hands moved quickly, registering Lu Qing without delay.

"It’s done, Senior. You know the rules, right?"

"If you fail to complete the tasks within a year, you will lose task points, correct?"

Lu Qing was well aware that because Grade C tasks were much more difficult, the timeframe for completion was significantly extended.

"Correct, but I also need to tell you, Senior, that each Grade C task is worth ten points.

If you fail to complete one, ten points will be deducted.

If both tasks are not completed within the stipulated time, your points will be negative ten.

Then you’ll lose your status as an external member of our Netherworld Palace."

The rabbit-masked woman said solemnly.

"That’s fine, I’ve got it." Lu Qing replied unconcerned.

"As long as you know, Senior."

The rabbit-masked woman perceived Lu Qing’s strong confidence, but remembering his feat of completing ten Grade D tasks within a month.

It was evident that his strength had surely exceeded the Golden Core Realm, so confidence was warranted.

However, the Gongshu family was one of the thirty-six upper families, with a multitude of experts and extremely strong arrays protecting them.

The rabbit-masked woman couldn’t help but look forward with anticipation, wondering whether this mysterious Senior could succeed.
