Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Chapter 71 Unraveling the Mysteries of the Three Immortals and the Talismanic Summoning

On the Three Immortals Island, Yunxiao was meditating and cultivating, advancing towards the late stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, when he suddenly felt a suffocating aura pressing down on his heart. Startled, he broke free from his cultivation.

"Such terrifying lightning power! It's coming from my senior brother's cave!"

Yunxiao felt his true spirit tremble even after just one glance at the lightning flying all over the sky, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Li Qing.

Bixiao and Qiongxiao also emerged from seclusion. Looking at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, which resembled the clouds themselves, their hearts sank.

"Sister, what's wrong? Why is Senior Brother facing such a terrifying tribulation?"

Bi Xiao looked worried. With her level of cultivation, she couldn't judge whether Li Qing could handle the tribulation lightning before her.

Yunxiao shook his head: "I don't know either. I was in seclusion in the cave when I sensed this energy, so I rushed out. I don't know what my senior brother did to attract such lightning."

"Trust your senior brother."

As Qiongxiao was speaking, a figure in a green robe suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​clouds.

"This is the first time I've seen a calamity involving a sacred treasure."

Facing this terrifying tribulation, Li Qing didn't feel much pressure, after all, he had dared to devour the tribulation of transformation when he was a Golden Immortal.

Now that he has attained the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and possesses several innate spiritual treasures, he is confident in facing the tribulation of lightning.

What he cared about more was the advancement of the spiritual treasure.

Thirty-six restrictions represent the limit of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, while thirty-seven restrictions elevate it to the ranks of top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

He already knew that this slight difference would make all the difference.

But unexpectedly, breaking through this half step would require going through a tribulation of lightning!

"Won't this tribulation be even more intense once I upgrade the Fallen Treasure Coin to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?"

As the first bolt of lightning struck, Li Qing subconsciously activated his Devouring Divine Power, which sent a tingling sensation through his body.

"No, it's not me undergoing tribulation, but the Taiji Seal that needs to undergo this lightning tribulation."

In the next instant, Li Qing summoned the Tai Chi talisman, and the Yin and Yang energies soared into the sky, transforming into a Tai Chi diagram that blotted out the sun.

"Senior brother's magical treasure seems a little different."

Under Yunxiao's discerning eye, she saw a faint, shimmering light flowing over the Taiji talisman, just like her Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, radiating divine light—the very aura of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Qiongxiao nodded and said, "Could it be that Senior Brother upgraded his Taiji Talisman to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which is why he attracted the lightning tribulation?"

"That seems to be the case."

Looking at the Tai Chi symbol in the air, Yunxiao agreed with Qiongxiao's words, but was also quite puzzled: "It is extremely difficult for a high-grade innate spiritual treasure to advance to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. I wonder how Senior Brother managed to do it."

"We can just ask our senior brother when the time comes; why bother guessing here?"

Seeing Li Qing so calm and composed in the air, Bi Xiao felt relieved and focused on watching the bolts of lightning fall one by one.

The wind and thunder roared, and the forty-nine bolts of lightning were coming to an end in the blink of an eye.

As the final bolt of lightning struck, Li Qing finally stopped watching. With a wave of his hand, a surge of pure magical power flowed into the Tai Chi talisman.

The Yin-Yang symbol hovering in the air was suddenly jolted by this, soaring upwards and colliding with the lightning bolts striking down from the sky.

boom!

After a loud bang, the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram exploded, transforming into Yin-Yang energy that returned to the Taiji talisman. The lingering lightning in the air crashed down, striking the Taiji talisman squarely.

The thirty-seventh innate restriction within the Taiji talisman was cleaved by this lightning bolt, completely merging with the previous thirty-six innate restrictions!

Li Qing reached out and summoned the Tai Chi talisman into his palm; it was as warm and smooth as jade, as solid and imposing as a mountain.

With a thought, he completely refined the thirty-seventh restriction. Now, this top-grade innate spiritual treasure in his hands was more than ten times stronger than before.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Li Qing exclaimed "Good!" three times and then stored the Taiji talisman within Qingyun to nurture it.

"Senior brother!"

Bixiao waved her arms, like a blue lotus swaying in the wind.

Li Qing descended from the clouds and laughed, "You were frightened; it is my fault."

"Senior brother, is this the tribulation lightning for a high-grade innate spiritual treasure to advance to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?"

Bi Xiao was filled with curiosity; she had never heard of anything that could advance a high-grade innate spiritual treasure to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Yunxiao also looked at Li Qing. If this method were practical, its value would be immense. He would probably have to ask the Tongtian Sect Master to conceal this secret to prevent others from coveting it.

"That's right, this is exactly how my companion spirit treasure, the Taiji Talisman Seal, has advanced to a top-grade innate spirit treasure."

Li Qing nodded, affirming Bi Xiao's words.

Yunxiao then asked, "Should we ask our master to conceal the secrets of this method?"

"No need."

Li Qing shook his head slightly. He naturally knew what Yunxiao was worried about: "To advance to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, one must either be a high-grade innate spiritual treasure with thirty-six innate restrictions that come with one's birth, or one with thirty-six and a half innate restrictions, just half a step away from becoming a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

Even so, it takes merit, good fortune, or a spiritual object manifested from the Great Dao that originates from the same source as the spiritual treasure to advance a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. Therefore, there is no need for a master to conceal the secrets of heaven.

"I see."

Yunxiao immediately understood that this method was not practical, and it might not even be the first time it had appeared. It was just that its uses were so rare that it was almost never mentioned.

After chatting with the three immortals for a few more minutes, Yunxiao and the others went back to continue their cultivation. Li Qing also returned to his cave. Now that all the spiritual treasures had been refined, he turned his gaze to the Reincarnation Gourd.

There was a golden light inside the gourd, which was the black mist that had been collected after killing the River God Bingyi at the bottom of the Yellow River.

At that time, he was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal and could not see through the details of the black energy. He only knew that there was a golden light in it, with the six characters "Yellow River God's Seal" written on it.

Now that he has attained the status of a Great Immortal and escaped the river of fate, he sees something different in this black aura.

"This extremely evil and wicked energy must be the purest form of demonic energy."

Li Qing shook the Reincarnation Gourd, and the laws of the world transformed into a point of clear light that fell into the gourd.

Under the clear light, the black mist melted away like snow meeting the sun, revealing a glittering golden talisman within.

Li Qing took out the talisman, held it in his hand and studied it carefully, and came to the conclusion: "This thing is quite interesting. The Heavenly Court's conferment of this title already has some divine significance."

The talisman contains a wisp of the power of heaven and earth. By wielding this talisman, one can mobilize the power of the Yellow River's water veins and exercise the authority of the Yellow River God, which is quite similar to the divine way.

A thought suddenly struck Li Qing.

He recalled the words left by Hongjun Daozu in the Reincarnation Gourd: the Primordial Ferocious Beast Reincarnation True Spirit in the Reincarnation Gourd was meant to expedite the development of the underground passage.

Can other aspects help the tunnel develop rapidly?

Of course it is possible.

The underground passage relies on reincarnation. For reincarnation to function, the underworld is indispensable. Only when the underworld is filled with ghosts and gods can the underground passage develop rapidly!
