Chapter 1047: Chapter 659: Sword Qi Transformation and Reward Redemption_2
However, Lu Qing relied on the mystical nature of his superpower, continually observing the Sword Qi personally wielded by "Potian Taoist" in the Illusion Realm of inheritance.
In the end, he created a [Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi] which allowed him to cultivate it even in the Golden Core Realm.
During over a decade of seclusion, he had already cultivated the [Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi] to the limits of the Golden Core Realm.
Unexpectedly, the constant use of this Sword Qi subtly increased his murderous aura.
"Sure enough, the heritage left by a Primordial Spirit Great Power who has survived multiple tribulations; even the Sword Qi I created by comprehending its Sword Intent has influenced my heart and spirit."
Lu Qing couldn’t help but marvel.
At the same time, he became even more wary of those seasoned Primordial Spirit Great Powers who had survived many tribulations.
Even just a heritage left behind could unknowingly affect his heart and spirit; how terrifying must those old Primordial Spirit monsters be themselves.
"However, this doesn’t seem to be a bad thing?"
Now that he understood the reason, it would be easy to resolve.
Lu Qing recalled the tragic scene in the underground cave, and slowly felt a surge of murderous intent from within.
He integrated this murderous intent into the [Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi], instantly feeling a significant increase in the power of the Sword Qi.
"So that’s it, the [Sky Breaking Sword Qi] emphasizes cleaving heaven and earth, slaughtering all, essentially requiring a heart of slaughter to drive the Sword Qi and slay all directions.
I have created the [Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi], but I rarely used this Sword Qi against enemies, let alone integrated my genuine murderous intent into it.
Thus, although the Sword Qi is formidable, it always lacked a hint of true charm.
This time, the heinous acts of those Black Heart Thieves provoked my true murderous intent, which I integrated within, finally completing this Sword Qi."
Insight arose within Lu Qing’s heart.
In the Trial Space of the Netherworld Palace, although he used [Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi] to confront Cang Jue,
In reality, due to the disparity in strength, his inner murderous intent was not very intense.
It wasn’t until this time, seeing the heinous scene in the underground cave, that his inner murderous intent was truly provoked.
This could be said to be the time he was most enraged since rebirthing into this world.
The only time that could barely compare would be the night long ago when he had just started practicing martial arts, still in the Qi Blood Realm, slaughtering the bandits of Happy Village.
It was on that night that his temperament underwent a transformation, understanding the principle of clarifying the mind and seeing into one’s true nature, holding true to oneself.
"I didn’t expect both breakthroughs to be related to bandits."
Lu Qing shook his head, condensing a strand of Sword Qi in his hand, wrapping it around his fingers.
The Sword Qi’s power was restrained, but as it circulated, it almost had the ability to cut through space, terrifyingly so.
"Now that I’ve integrated murderous intent into my Little Sky Breaking Sword Qi, its power has increased significantly to genuine perfection, it can now be truly called Sky Breaking Sword Qi."
Originally, [Sky Breaking Sword Qi] could only be cultivated after achieving the Primordial Spirit.
But this time, by chance, Lu Qing understood the principle of driving the Sword Qi with a heart of slaughter, truly mastering this Sword Qi.
Of course, all of this was due to Lu Qing’s extremely deep foundation; the power of his Perfect Nine-turn Golden Core was not inferior to that of ordinary Primordial Spirit Initial Realm Great Powers.
Moreover, his physical body and Divine Soul were also extraordinarily strong, far surpassing cultivators of the same level.
His real strength could even slay a Primordial Spirit.
Such terrifying foundations were what allowed him to refine genuine Sky Breaking Sword Qi.
Otherwise, if another Golden Core Perfection cultivator were to comprehend Sky Breaking Sword Qi, their physical body wouldn’t be able to withstand its terrifying power.
"Having perfected the Sky Breaking Sword Qi has given me an additional method against enemies, allowing me to conceal my identity better."
Lu Qing played with the strand of Sword Qi at his finger, feeling a bit cheerful in his heart.
This time, upon leaving seclusion, he aimed to conceal his identity as "Chen Qing."
When confronting others, he primarily used methods of a Sword Cultivator, rarely exposing his physical strength, and even kept the Leaving Fire Tripod reined in, never revealing it.
Yet without using the Leaving Fire Tripod, solely relying on the methods of a Sword Cultivator to deal with opponents of the Golden Core Realm was more than enough, but against the Primordial Spirit Realm, it might have been somewhat difficult.
The Sword Dao Domain technique, while powerful, would not easily entrap one with a Primordial Spirit Realm’s defenses.
Now that he has completed the genuine Sky Breaking Sword Qi, the situation is different.
Solely with this Sword Qi, Lu Qing is confident he can fight a Primordial Spirit Initial Realm Great Power without using any other means.
If he collects enough Spirit Stones to break through the limit and step into a realm beyond the ninth turn,
The power of this Sword Qi would become even more terrifying; even repeating his past feat on Tianshu Divine Mountain, reversing to slay a Primordial Spirit, wouldn’t be impossible.
His thoughts surged for a while, then Lu Qing withdrew the Sword Qi and retrieved a storage magical treasure.
He gazed at it for a while, sighed, and sent his heart and spirit inside.
As expected, he indeed saw that it contained many treasures, Spirit Stones, and Elixirs.
This storage magical treasure was retrieved from Ning Jizi’s body.
Given this person’s selfishness, he naturally carried important treasures with him, which now conveniently fell into Lu Qing’s hands.
However, looking at the treasures inside, Lu Qing didn’t feel particularly happy.
Because he knew that quite a few of these treasures were likely tributes from the Black Heart Thieves.
Thinking of the merchants murdered and devoured, the joy of Lu Qing’s recent breakthrough was largely diminished.
He put the items away and stood up.
"Ah Qing, how is it, did you find the reason?" Little Li asked.
"Hmm, it was due to the cultivation technique, but now it’s already resolved, let’s go, there are still many tasks to complete."
Little Li carefully looked at Lu Qing, seemingly confirming that he was truly fine.
Lu Qing rubbed its head, smiling, "I’m really fine, don’t worry."
"As long as you’re okay, then let’s go."
Feeling the warmth of Lu Qing’s palm, Little Li knew he was truly fine, and only then did it fully relax.
Lu Qing dispersed the auspicious clouds, transformed into a stream of light, and continued to the next destination.
In the following month, Lu Qing traveled across several neighboring continental regions, completing tasks.
The tasks he accepted in the Divine Soul Space were all meticulously selected by him.
Only a small portion were assassination missions; most were about finding Spiritual Medicine and rare items in certain perilous regions.
Assassination missions were naturally not challenging for him; he only chose those heinous individuals who were much wanted, with no moral burden in slaying them.
As for seeking Elixirs and rare items, with Little Li’s peculiar treasure hunting ability, he completed them smoothly.
Thus, on the twenty-fifth day after he accepted the tasks, he entered a small city and walked into a small building.
Seeing the old man who had previously given him the Trial Jade Talisman, still dozing off, Lu Qing shook his head.
Then he softly called out, "Senior, the junior is here to claim the task rewards."
After a few moments, the old man opened his murky eyes, impatiently asking, "What task rewards?"
But after seeing Lu Qing, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.
"Kid, it’s you?"
"Indeed, it’s the junior, back then thanks to your senior’s gift of the Trial Jade Talisman, I was able to become an outer member of the Netherworld Palace."
At this moment, Lu Qing was still dressed in a black cloak, wearing a Ghost Face Mask, exactly the same as when he first entered this small building.
"The Trial Jade Talisman was something you acquired by your own skill, not a gift from me," the old man did not buy it, "I didn’t expect you kid to have some skills, surviving inside, passing the trial. You said what, claiming task rewards?"
"That’s right, this junior recently took on some tasks, just completed them, and now wishes to claim rewards."
Lu Qing took out his Netherworld Jade Token and handed it over.
Because the Divine Soul Space can only be accessed with Divine Soul Power, real objects cannot be transmitted in.
Therefore, the assassins of the Netherworld Palace still need to submit task credentials at various strongholds to claim rewards.
Only after verification can they receive bounties and task points.
"Let me see what tasks you’ve completed?"
The old man took Lu Qing’s Netherworld Jade Token, played several Seal Formations, and then explored them with his heart and spirit.
In the next moment, his eyes opened slightly.
"You kid completed ten Ding-grade tasks in less than a month?"
