Chapter 613 Unstoppable Momentum, Test Passed, Mysterious Voice Reappears

"The spirit beast disappeared. What happened?"

"Was it because it couldn't hold on any longer and was taken into a spatial magic treasure by that mysterious young man?"

"It doesn't look like it. Looking at that sudden light, I feel more like I was taken away by this space."

"Could it be that the spirit beast passed the test of this bone mountain and obtained an opportunity?"

"But it has only reached the eighth bone joint. Previously, Ba Tian and the others had reached the tenth bone joint, almost approaching the eleventh bone joint, and they did not see any unusual movement from the bone mountain."

"Perhaps the test of this Bone Mountain is not just about who can climb the highest, but there is another standard."

"If we are truly going to obtain an opportunity, then we will really be less than a spirit beast."

"Losing to that mysterious young man was bad enough, but now being outdone by his spirit pet is utterly humiliating!"

Upon seeing Xiao Li's sudden disappearance, the powerful figures below were immediately in an uproar, discussing and speculating about the reason for its disappearance.

Especially Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng, these top-tier Golden Core cultivators, were taken aback.

They had reached the tenth joint before, and none of them had experienced such an anomaly.

The little spirit beast disappeared as soon as it reached the eighth joint.

Judging from the power emanating from that ball of light, could it be that it passed the test and was taken away by this mountain of bones?

"Look, that mysterious young man is climbing up again, and he's doing it so fast!"

Just then, someone suddenly shouted.

In fact, he didn't need to shout; the powerful figures who had been closely watching the situation above had already seen it.

After the little spirit beast disappeared, the mysterious young man continued climbing.

And the speed is much faster than before; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it moves like the wind.

Everyone then realized that Lu Qing had been holding back his strength earlier, probably to take care of his spirit pet, which was why he had slowed down his climb.

Now that the little spirit beast has disappeared, he can finally show his true strength.

As Lu Qing climbed upwards, a hazy white light appeared on his body, completely blocking the solidified baleful aura around him.

This white light was not some kind of supernatural power or technique, but rather a protective aura that naturally arose from his physical body after it became stronger.

With Lu Qing's current physical strength, comparable to a magic weapon, the resulting physical treasure light is even more powerful than many protective magic weapons of the treasure level.

Although the malevolent energy atop Bone Mountain is strong, it poses no threat to him so far.

Furthermore, this protective aura is naturally derived, a manifestation of his incredibly powerful life force.

Maintaining the current strength does not require him to expend his mana.

In a sense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a kind of physical supernatural power.

Compared to actively cast protective spells, it has many more advantages.

So even now, his magical power has not been depleted in the slightest and remains at its peak.

After he no longer needed to take care of Xiao Li, his climbing speed far exceeded that of before.

Before long, they had crossed two vertebrae and arrived at the junction of the ninth and tenth vertebrae.

"We need to reach the tenth joint!"

"Previously, Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng were stopped at the tenth joint! I wonder if this person can break through this limit."

"No need to think, he'll definitely surpass them. Just look at his speed; he's much faster than Ba ​​Tian and the others before!"

Ba Tian, ​​Shen Zangfeng, the young man from Dao Xu Temple wearing a star-patterned Daoist robe, and the Holy Maiden Luo Xianzi from Biluo Palace all showed solemn expressions at this moment.

Once you step onto the tenth joint, not only will the suppressive power become incredibly strong, but its malevolent energy will also undergo another qualitative change.

Not only did they become more terrifying, but they also conjured various ferocious beasts to attack them.

The malevolent energy that transforms into a ferocious beast is extremely difficult to deal with.

It is all-pervasive and can also corrode various precious lights and protective magic treasures, greatly increasing their magical power consumption.

That's precisely why they eventually couldn't hold on and had to step down.

They wanted to see what this mysterious young man, who hadn't yet used any magical artifacts or Taoist techniques since climbing the mountain, would be like.

Whether they can withstand the onslaught of that terrifying malevolent energy remains to be seen.

Lu Qing was unaware of the thoughts of the powerful figures below. His current thought was simply to quickly reach the top and find Xiao Li.

So even the tenth joint didn't make him hesitate for a moment, and he stepped onto it directly.

As his feet touched the ground, officially entering the range of the tenth joint, instantly, in addition to the doubled suppressive power descending upon him, the surrounding baleful aura, which had already solidified into a tangible form, also changed once more.

They began to transform into ferocious beasts, roaring and unleashing invisible, mind-altering waves as they attacked him.

"Is this what Ba Tian meant by the manifestation of evil energy? If so, they must have reached at least the tenth joint before."

Lu Qing looked at the ferocious beasts attacking him, but his expression did not change.

He could sense that these ferocious beasts were far more terrifying than mere ferocious energy, but they should still be unable to harm the precious light emanating from his physical body.

Sure enough, when those ferocious beasts pounced with bared teeth and claws, they crashed into the precious light emanating from Lu Qing's body and were bounced back, unable to shake the precious light in the slightest.

Seeing that the evil beast was indeed unable to break through the defense of his physical body's precious light, Lu Qing felt relieved and continued to climb rapidly upwards.

In fact, the speed increased even further.

It quickly passed the tenth vertebra and entered the range of the eleventh vertebra.

This scene naturally surprised the powerful figures below once again.

"What? Even the tenth joint couldn't slow his pace?"

"More than that, I feel like he's gotten even faster!"

"For most people, the speed decreases as they go higher, but why is it the opposite for this person? Does that make sense?"

"What kind of protective aura is that white light around his body that even a transformed demonic beast can't harm him?"

"Such speed! They've already crossed the tenth bone joint and entered the eleventh bone joint, officially surpassing Ba Tian and the others!"

Seeing that Lu Qing's speed increased instead of decreased after entering the tenth bone segment, and that he ascended to the eleventh bone segment at an extremely fast speed, all the powerful figures showed expressions of utter shock.

They found it even more incredible that the demonic beasts that had materialized could not shake the hazy white light emanating from Lu Qing's body.

Even the top Golden Core cultivators like Ba Tian showed expressions of surprise.

Having all climbed to the tenth joint, they naturally understood just how terrifying those ferocious beasts were.

Even the protective aura generated by activating a spiritual artifact cannot last long.

This guy actually managed to withstand it. Could it be that the magical artifact he possesses is more powerful than theirs?
Amidst the astonished gazes of the powerful figures, Lu Qing climbed rapidly, unstoppable, and soon reached the fifteenth joint.

By this point, the suppressive force he was enduring had reached an astonishing level. If this pressure were applied to any other cultivator, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, they would likely be instantly crushed into a pulp.

Only an exceptional individual like Lu Qing could withstand it.

Even he, upon reaching the fifteenth joint, finally slowed down.

Furthermore, the demonic beast that had taken human form was becoming increasingly powerful, and it had begun to shake the radiance of his physical body.

Lu Qing had to slow down slightly.

"Finally, things have slowed down..."

"He actually made it all the way to the fifteenth joint in one go!"

"Just how powerful is this person's physical body?!"

"This performance has completely surpassed that of Ba Tian and the others. Is this person really still in the Golden Core Realm?"

The group of powerful figures below were completely stunned.

Even the top Golden Core cultivators like Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng were utterly shocked.

Originally, they thought that even if Lu Qing could surpass them, he would only be able to reach the twelfth or thirteenth joint at most before he could not continue.

But to his surprise, he rushed to the fifteenth joint before slowing down.

And they are still climbing upwards, though the speed has slowed down, it is still much faster than when they were at the tenth joint.

This shows that Lu Qing is far from reaching his limit; the fifteenth joint is not the final height he can climb.

"Is this person truly at the Golden Core stage?"

Even Ba Tian couldn't help but ask a question.

Shen Zangfeng, who was standing beside him, did not speak, but his expression was extremely solemn.

Because what Ba Tian lamented was also the question he wanted to ask in his heart.

"Could this one be some powerful being at the Nascent Soul stage, who managed to sneak in using some secret method unknown to us?"

On the other side, the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple, dressed in a star-patterned Daoist robe, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The aloof woman wearing a veil didn't reply. She looked up at Lu Qing's figure, her eyes swirling with emotion, revealing that her inner world was not as calm as it appeared.

Bang!
Under the watchful eyes of the powerful figures, Lu Qing stepped onto the sixteenth bone joint of the staircase.

His steps were now incredibly heavy.

It landed on the steps with a muffled thud.

The surrounding ferocious beasts, like a hundred ghosts parading at night, attacked him frantically, trying to break through the light emanating from his body, burrow into his body, and devour him completely.

Under such attacks, Lu Qing's physical body began to falter, showing signs of being unable to hold on.

"Is this all I can get here with just my physical strength?"

Lu Qing stood still, silently feeling the pressure on his body, and a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.

Although he can still continue to climb, with his physical strength alone, he can probably only complete this one joint at most, and will not be able to withstand the pressure of the next joint.

"It seems we'll have to use a trump card."

Just as Lu Qing was about to activate his magic core, a voice that was neither male nor female suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Trial participant, you have passed the test of Mount Wu. Do you wish to enter the purification pool and undergo baptism?"

"I passed the test?"

The sudden sound startled Lu Qing.

He didn't expect to gain recognition before he had even reached his true limit.

However, he didn't rush to agree. Instead, he calmly asked himself, "If I go to the Refinement Pool now, will I be able to see Xiao Li?"

"Are you talking about that little spirit beast? Of course, those who pass the initial test will undergo purification in the same purification pool."

"A beginner's test?" Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat. "So, there are even more advanced tests?"

"That's natural. You climbed to the sixteenth bone joint with pure physical strength. Such a performance can be considered to have barely reached the standard of our Wu clan's elite children back then. You have passed the initial test of the Bone Mountain and are qualified to be baptized and become a Wu."

"What is the even greater test?"

"If you can reach the twentieth joint, you will have passed the intermediate test and be comparable to the genius disciples of the Witch Clan in the past."

Reaching the thirtieth joint signifies passing a high-level test, making one comparable to a direct descendant of the Wu clan, a true Wu seed with the bloodline of the ancestral Wu.

However, for cultivators of your lineage who follow the path of cultivation, passing the intermediate level or higher tests is impossible. I advise you to give up.

"The lineage of the Dao, what is that?"

Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked.

"The Dao lineage refers to cultivators like you who practice the Dao of Qi Refining. In ancient times, we called it the Dao lineage. However, although you are practicing the Dao lineage, your physical body is comparable to that of the elite disciples of our Wu clan, which is quite an anomaly."

“I am a cultivator of the Dao lineage. According to the records in your outer hall, I should be your enemy. Why then do you allow me to pass the trial and enter your witch clan's purification pool?”

Lu Qing asked a question that had been on her mind.

"You can actually see the murals in that hall?" The voice was somewhat surprised, but he quickly calmed down. "Those are things from ancient times. Whether the Witch Clan still exists is another matter. What's the point of dwelling on this hatred?"

Besides, what does something that happened tens of thousands of years ago have to do with a little guy like you?

Lu Qing hadn't expected to receive such a reply.

At the same time, he also realized that the one who was transmitting the message to him must be an ancient being who had lived for countless years.

Immediately, his expression became somewhat respectful: "Senior, what benefits would I receive if I were to pass a higher level of the test?"

"You still want to go up?" The voice sounded somewhat surprised.

“Indeed, I still have some energy left and would like to try again.”

"I advise you not to overestimate your abilities. The pressure and malevolent energy above are beyond your current level of cultivation."

"I understand this, and if there is nothing I can do, I will naturally give up," Lu Qing insisted.

"Sigh, a little guy like you is always so proud and arrogant. Back in the day, our witch clan had many little guys as energetic as you."

"Very well, it seems I can't dissuade you. Go ahead and try, but even I can't interfere with the trials of Mount Wu. If something goes wrong and you perish here, don't regret it."

It was unclear whether the voice hadn't interacted with anyone in a long time, but its attitude towards Lu Qing was surprisingly gentle.

"Junior knows."

"Then you can continue upwards. Once you reach the twentieth joint and pass the intermediate test, you will be qualified to enter the intermediate refining pool. If you reach the thirtieth joint, you will be able to enter the advanced refining pool. If you reach the top, you will be able to directly enter the True Essence Refining Pool."

"The True Essence Refining Pool?" Lu Qing's eyes lit up.
