An ethereal Daoist Rhyme spread from the jade leaf and permeated Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit. The Daoist Rhyme was faint. It seemed to be far away in the horizon, yet it also seemed to be right beside his ear.
Lu Qingshan was instantly immersed in the Daoist Rhyme. This was the legacy of the 10,000-year-old spirit tree's Capacity. It was wondrous, but it was not fixed.
In the end, whether a cultivator could comprehend it or not, or what kind of miraculousness they could comprehend, was uncertain. It all depended on one's luck.
To him, the true meaning of karma had long been touched. Hence, this Daoist Rhyme had a different meaning to it. It was like the sound of a celestial being. It was intoxicating.
A stream of clear energy filled his head and flowed through his entire body. The profound principles that he originally found obscure and difficult to understand suddenly became much clearer and more concise at this moment.
It felt as if he had drunk a bowl of sour plum soup in the heat of summer.
He had opened up a new world. It was vast and far-reaching.
This was the feeling of being reborn. It was a deeper understanding.
Lu Qingshan gradually understood.
'I see … When I plucked the mountain ghost's fruit, that was the cause. The mountain ghost took my Taoist foundation, and that was the effect.
'Similarly, this effect is also the cause. The mountain ghost took my Taoist foundation, so I killed it and erased it from this world. This is the effect.
'The cause leads to life, and the effect leads to life.
'Where there's a cause, there's an effect. Where there's an effect, there's a cause.
'This is the principle of karma.
'Everything is empty. Only karma isn't.
'Cause, cause, effect. This is the true meaning of karma …' Lu Qingshan's mind wandered between the heavens and the earth. His eyes shone with a profound divine radiance.
Then, at a certain moment, he saw threads intertwined on his body. They were faintly discernible, bright or dark.
These were karma threads.
As a bloodthirsty sword cultivator, the number of karma threads entwined around his body was several times more than the others. It was unimaginably complicated.
The sin of killing was the heaviest form of karma.
The blood-red karma threads that represented killing shook his mind. There were many of them.
However, there were even more golden threads. Their numbers were several dozen times more than the blood-red karma threads.
The golden threads represented the karma threads of merit.
Seeing the karmic threads meant that he had gained a preliminary understanding of karma.
Mortals fear the effect, and the heavens fear the cause.
The incomplete True Meaning of Karma that he had comprehended when he was at Foundation Establishment had finally been filled up.
Of course, Lu Qingshan did not just rely on this jade leaf to cultivate this mysterious True Meaning of Karma.
The Intent Domain treasure was just a primer, a stepping stone that ignited all his previous accumulations.
The most important factor for him to be able to cultivate the True Meaning of Karma was the result of his talent and hard work.
Small fiery words appeared on the interface.
"Comprehension of the Concept!" You have comprehended the True Meaning of Karma (weak)! "
"Your Primordial Spirit has improved! (Divine Sense + 100) "
True Meaning of Karma (Weak): Mystical Origin True Meaning. Possesses many mystical abilities. Current mystical ability grasped: Precognition.
Lu Qingshan slowly opened his eyes. A divine light flashed through his eyes.
He looked at his own hands, only feeling that the dust in his heart had completely disappeared, pearls were shining, and a mysterious feeling lingered in his heart.
Divinity, foresight …
He sensed the mystical abilities bestowed upon him by the True Meaning of Karma, and understood the specific ability of foresight.
Foresight and prediction only differed by a single word. However, in terms of their effects, one was in the sky while the other was on the ground.
Prediction was a reasonable deduction that he had made based on his rich combat experience.
Since it was just a deduction, it could not be 100% accurate.
Prediction was a mystical ability that came from the world's origin and followed Karma.
Where there was a cause, there would be an effect. When the opponent first made a move, the Spiritual Power and the hand seals were the cause, and the Art that would be cast in the end was the effect.
Everything in the world could not escape Karma. The moment the cause was formed, the effect was already predetermined.
The mystical ability of foresight that he had grasped so far was to foresee the effect when the cause was formed.
In a battle of Arts, it went without saying how powerful it would be.
Whether the opponent would flee, attack, defend, or attack, he would be able to foresee it in advance. Naturally, he would have the upper hand.
Moreover, this was only the Weak True Meaning of Karma.
If the level of the concept was raised, how mystical would it be?
Lu Qingshan could not help but feel some anticipation in his heart.
Lu Qingshan turned his head and asked the Western Rat King, who was "protecting" him at the side, "How long have I been meditating?"
"Only ten days." The Western Rat King tilted its small head and sized up Lu Qingshan. "Why do I feel that something has changed in you? You look a little different from before."
The little rat demon looked over and saw that Lu Qingshan's expression was relaxed, and his temperament was becoming more and more extraordinary.
"I've become stronger again," Lu Qingshan said honestly.
"Really?" The Western Rat King widened its eyes in disbelief.
"This is not over yet." Lu Qingshan chuckled.
It was his duty to suppress the rat demon.
Then, he took out the dark purple Thunder-Generating Fruit from the jade box and stuffed it into his mouth.
The Thunder-Generating Fruit contained an incomparably huge amount of Spiritual Power of Heaven and Earth, as well as extremely violent Thunderbolt Power.
As soon as he swallowed the Thunder-Generating Fruit, it was as if a thunderbolt had entered his body.
A huge amount of energy instantly erupted from Lu Qingshan's body, rampaging through his meridians and sweeping out.
A sound like muffled thunder echoed in his body.
A powerful thunderbolt aura flowed through his body, shaking his entire body until it was numb.
Even his Primordial Spirit was affected by this aura and became much slower.
At this moment, his Primordial Spirit was filled with the will of the thunderbolt, without the slightest emotion, completely drowning him.
Endless thunderbolts seemed to fill his vision, as if he was in a thunder domain.
Bursts of intense pain followed, as if they were about to drown him.
However, under such circumstances, Lu Qingshan withstood the huge pressure and saw balls of light squirming and exploding in the thunderbolt.
Every time the thunderbolt exploded, under the powerful and violent energy, some inexplicable things were constantly being born and destroyed in the thunderbolt.
Destruction and creation coexisted, incomparably magical.
In his nature and True Spirit, a mysterious concept appeared, growing and multiplying endlessly.
Life towards death, life from death.
This was the Immortality True Intent.
What was Immortality? Only something could exist forever, and only by growing and multiplying endlessly could it be Immortal!
Lu Qingshan constantly comprehended, deduced, and evolved, forgetting time and indulging in this wonderful process.
This was a strange feeling. Although the Immortality True Intent was not offensive, it was much more important than any other magic arts and other concepts.
The Immortality True Intent could evolve and amplify the concept of all things, countless times in one's lifetime.
As time gradually passed, Lu Qingshan felt as if he was blessed with good fortune …
He clearly felt that he was crossing a certain boundary.
When he crossed the boundary, a ripple of lightning exploded in his body for no reason, forming a series of thunderclaps outside his body.
Vast Thunder Might was born.
A special force, centered on Lu Qingshan's body, spread in all directions, surging and undulating like a tide.
The Western Rat King's body shook violently, and he stared at Lu Qingshan without blinking, unable to believe everything in front of him.
He could feel that the aura on Lu Qingshan's body had undergone an extremely obvious transformation in just a few days.
The little rat demon's eyes were filled with fanaticism and envy.
He did not know what was going on.
He clearly felt that he was quite capable, but the gap between him and Lu Qingshan was getting bigger and bigger.
When will our scoundrels be able to rise to prominence?
The Western Rat King's sorrow flowed like a river.
… …
"Concept comprehension! … …" Your Immortality True Intent has advanced to the Unity Realm! "
"Your ability has improved! … …" Your Primordial Spirit has improved! (Divine Sense + 200) "
"The upper limit of your Divine Sense has exceeded 1500, and your Primordial Spirit has broken through to the early stage of the Defense Realm (16252100). The Primordial Spirit of a cultivator in this realm can leave the body and attach to spiritual objects, and possess powerful destructive power."
Just as the Immortality True Intent advanced to the Unity Realm, the Primordial Spirit in his sea of consciousness between his eyebrows also ushered in a qualitative transformation.
A huge pressure, born out of nothing, erupted from the inside out.
It was as if someone was using a hammer to hit Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit.
In the midst of the crackling, his Primordial Spirit shattered into countless pieces.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan finally felt what pain and torture were.
This feeling was definitely not much different from having one's body and bones shattered.
Although he had never experienced the feeling of having one's body and bones shattered.
But after shattering, all the fragments of Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit immediately gathered together and pieced together to form his own Primordial Spirit.
However, the newly formed Primordial Spirit's size had shrunk a lot. From the original 9.9 inch mini version of Lu Qingshan, it had become a small person less than an inch tall.
But while its size had shrunk, it had also become much tougher.
Moreover, there were some bright spots of light that were flying out from the Primordial Spirit.
These light spots surrounded Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit and slowly stuck to it.
Gradually, it formed an extremely thin layer of golden thread armor that protected the Primordial Spirit. It looked as if it had merged with his Primordial Spirit.
This was the Primordial Spirit Armor, the symbol of the Defense Realm Primordial Spirit. It could have the effect of blocking Primordial Spirit attacks.
In other words, from the Defense Realm, the Primordial Spirit was no longer "naked". There was a layer of armor to block the incoming "swords" for it.
In the end, all the light on the Primordial Spirit Armor dissipated.
His Primordial Spirit's transformation was complete.
Lu Qingshan's heart stirred. He closed his eyes and circulated his Divine Sense.
A wisp of Divine Sense rushed out in an instant.
However, the wisp of Divine Sense that rushed out was actually in the form of a flame.
This wisp of flame was grayish-white and looked pure and flawless. However, there was a scorching temperature on the surface that was constantly changing.
Logically speaking, Divine Sense should be invisible and unfathomable.
But now, Lu Qingshan's Divine Sense could transform into a wisp of flame.
This was another symbol of the Defense Realm Primordial Spirit.
As a realm that could truly control the Primordial Spirit and control the power of the soul, a cultivator could turn his Divine Sense into a soul fire with a raise of his hand and launch an attack.
If the other party's Primordial Spirit realm had not reached the Defense Realm and did not have the protection of the Primordial Spirit Armor, it would definitely not be easy to face the soul fire formed by Divine Sense.
The True Meaning of Karma had reached the entry level, the True Meaning of Immortality had advanced to the Unity Realm, and the Primordial Spirit realm had broken through to the Defense Realm, possessing powerful lethality.
Lu Qingshan's secluded cultivation this time. Although his cultivation level did not increase, his gains were astonishing.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
What he had gained today was actually what he had accumulated over the years.
Not to mention the Daoist Scripture's enhancement to his comprehension of concepts.
When he was in the Yellow Springs Realm, his Immortality True Meaning had already been on the verge of advancement by observing the Dao opening spiritual light.
Now, he had only taken a step forward and finally crossed that threshold.
Needless to say, the True Meaning of Karma was the first concept that he came into contact with.
Due to its profoundness, it was difficult for him to make any obvious progress. However, that bit of comprehension was still there.
With the help of the jade leaf treasure that contained the True Meaning of Karma, he finally comprehended the true essence of the True Meaning of Karma.
As for the improvement of his Primordial Spirit realm, it was even more natural.
After he rebuilt his Dao foundation, every step was perfect. The huge improvement of his Primordial Spirit from a flawless Dao foundation was temporarily not mentioned.
Other than that, he also had the Perfection Stage Massacre Sword Intent, the Unity Stage Nirvana Piercing Sword Intent, the Immortality True Meaning, and the Weak Stage True Meaning of Karma.
A total of two Superior Concepts and two True Meanings of Origin. This brought about a huge improvement in the strength of his Primordial Spirit.
To an ordinary cultivator, if they were able to comprehend a Superior Concept, then it could already be said that their ancestors were emitting smoke from their graves.
Who could be like him, with so many Concepts, and their levels were not low?
This time, his cultivation was very complete. His strength had increased by a lot.
However, in Lu Qingshan's opinion, this was still not enough.
He was not prepared to give Luo Yang any chance of victory, nor was he prepared to reveal too many of his techniques. He wanted to take down Luo Yang cleanly.
As such, his strength still needed to increase.
Putting aside his cultivation level, because his Concepts had not been completely cultivated, he could not cross the Nascent Soul realm no matter how much experience he had.
As for the Late Nascent Soul Stage and the Peak Nascent Soul Stage, although there would be a clear difference in battle strength, it would not be to an unacceptable level.
There was no need to rush to increase his cultivation level.
If he increased his cultivation level to the Peak Nascent Soul Stage and defeated Luo Yang, it was not impossible for Marquis Luo Tang to use his breakthrough as an excuse to annul this matter.
He was not afraid of such wrangling, but there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Lu Qingshan turned his head and looked at his current strongest technique.
"Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing Lv 1 (6.1/500,000)."
Secret Swords were the most difficult to level up because they consumed a lot of experience.
He had grasped the Secret Sword of Heaven Suppressing for quite some time now, but it was still at the lowest level.
Thinking like that, Lu Qingshan used his mind, and experience poured out.
"You have spent 240,000 experience, Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing Lv 2!"
Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing Lv 2 (0/2 million)
Skill effect: Unleash three sword strikes with seven times the power.
.....
"You have spent 1,100,000 experience, Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing Lv 3!"
Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing Lv 3 (0/5 million)
Skill effect: Unleash three sword strikes with ten times the power.
.....
"You have spent 2,750,000 experience, Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing Lv 4!"
Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing Lv 4 (0/10 million)
Skill effect: Unleash three sword strikes with fifteen times the power.
…
Lu Qingshan was very rich, so he directly spent 4,000,000 experience to raise the Secret Sword to lv 4.
The Secret Sword of Heaven Suppressing Lv 3 times the power.
He felt a bit of heartache at the loss of experience.
However, when he thought about it, after this battle, Marquis Luo Tang would still have to take out a hundred spirit crystals as his fighting fee. With the boss paying the bill, he felt much better.
