The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

"Can achieve the True Law Realm."

"Transcending Tribulation, generally speaking, can be divided into active and passive, and evasion."

"Actively finding the tribulation and taking the initiative to resolve it, obtaining the largest scale of destiny."

"Passively being unknowingly involved in the tribulation, if one transcends it, one can still obtain destiny, but it will be much less."

"To evade the tribulation, one can use miraculous spells to transfer the tribulation away, or foresee the tribulation in advance and resolve it through avoidance. In this case, the obtained destiny is minimal."

"However, the amount of destiny obtained in the end is related to the size of the tribulation itself and the method of Transcending Tribulation."

"The larger the involved tribulation, the greater the generated destiny. Even if evading the tribulation, a huge amount of destiny can still be obtained."

"And the strength of the tribulation is also related to the foundation."

Li Qing carefully recalled the various insights and realizations of cultivation he had seen, and roughly understood the situation he was facing through the restored content from the Jade Tablet.

"The Human Tribulation aura on me covers an area of almost one zhang."

"Among all the insights and realizations of the Foundation Building Realm I have seen, the strongest Human Tribulation aura is only three chi, which is ten times less than mine."

"Now I need to determine one thing: where is my tribulation."

Determining the tribulation is not difficult, as there will generally be a response.

Slightly closing his eyes, circulating his cultivation technique, feeling the mysterious response in the depths of his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, a huge image appeared in Li Qing's mind.

The outline of Dragon Path City appeared in his mind.

In the next moment, this image suddenly disappeared, and Li Qing opened his eyes.

His brows furrowed slightly, "The entire Dragon Path City is where my tribulation lies."

"Now I have two choices: to Transcend Tribulation here, or to evade the tribulation by leaving this place."

"In the 'Encyclopedia of Law Spells of the World,' there is a spell for evading the tribulation, ensuring my safety, which should not be a big problem."

"However, once I transcend this one zhang of Human Tribulation aura, the benefits will be unimaginable, and my foundation will become unprecedentedly strong."

"Evasion is really too wasteful."

"Of course, this is the Immortal Cultivation World, exceptionally dangerous. Transcending Tribulation recklessly will inevitably lead to death."

"So I need to figure out the essence of the tribulation, and based on the situation of the tribulation, decide whether to evade it."

"If the situation is feasible, I can attempt to forcefully transcend this tribulation."

"Originally, it was almost impossible to judge the essence of the tribulation, and could only vaguely sense it."

"But with the Jade Tablet in hand, it is not impossible to understand the tribulation."

A confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Li Qing quickly sat down at the desk.

He took out a blank book and a charcoal pencil, and began recording his information on it.

"Transcending Tribulation Information Analysis Record Book"

Name: Li Qing

Age: 15

Cultivation level: Human Tribulation

Range of tribulation aura: one zhang

Cultivation technique: 'All-Encompassing Human Dao Chart'

Cultivation spells: ...

Possession of cultivation techniques, spells, etc.: ...

First, he carefully listed all his information in this blank book.

Then, he began to write new content.

"The Truth of Human Tribulation Deduction Chart"

"Location of Human Tribulation occurrence: Dragon Path City, the old site of the Wulingyuan True Teaching."

"People or things involved: Li Qing, Zhou Xinglong, Zhou Suhua, the mysterious blood-armored person, Master, Zheng Lao."

"Possible events: Destruction of Dragon Path City, Li Qing being involved and perishing."

When he reached this point, Li Qing paused slightly with the pen in his hand.

Human Tribulation is not unrelated. It must have a certain degree of connection with the cultivator, and eventually form a connection, gathering disasters and involving the cultivator.

"I came to Dragon Path City, and the deepest connection in terms of karma is with these people."

"However, based solely on the current information, it is definitely impossible to draw a conclusion. Last time in Jade City, I obtained the purpose of the Blood Demon Cult through a large number of case files."

"So I can emulate Jade City and collect a large number of case files."

"Behind these case files, there may be involvement of the Blood Demon Cult or the tribulation."

"And those people related to the Zhou family also need to be included, and their investigations must be thorough."

"The more information, the greater the probability of the Jade Tablet restoring information."

"I need to investigate more information and have a better understanding of Dragon Path City."

Looking down at himself, "Right now, the tribulation aura is too heavy and attracts too much attention. It needs to be concealed."

He injected Essence Qi into the Concealment Bead, and a strange fluctuation spread from his body, directly covering the Human Tribulation aura on him.

Under the restraint of the Concealment Bead, the Human Tribulation aura shrank slightly and eventually disappeared completely, but the effect of the Human Tribulation aura did not disappear; it just would no longer be perceptible to others.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qing put all his remaining 155 Essence Qi stones into the Universe Bag.

At this point, he had reached the limit of absorbing Essence Qi, and could no longer absorb any more Essence Qi stones.

He tidied up everything in his room and placed a silk thread at the door before leaving.

After wandering for a while, he quickly passed through the dark and eerie corridor and arrived at the task hall in the Anju Pavilion.

There was no change here from the last time he left; it was always in a quiet state.

His gaze fell on the strange old man and he walked over after some thought.

"Hello, I would like to inquire about something."

The strange old man raised his head, and his somewhat cloudy eyes looked at him, "What do you want to ask?"

"I want to see all the case files related to the tasks in Dragon Path City. I want to study something."

The old man's gaze looked strange, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, with the corners of his mouth rising to a height that a normal person could not reach.

Seeing the strange appearance of the old man, Li Qing was suddenly shocked, feeling a creepy sensation rising in his heart.

"No way, is this guy a problem? Is he not human?"

Just as Li Qing felt creeped out and was about to turn and run, the old man's strange voice sounded.

"All completed tasks will be archived and sealed, not allowing outsiders to view them."

"Because viewing too many case files may cause problems."

"However, if you want to see, it is not impossible."

"As long as you are willing to answer my riddle."

"If you solve it, I will let you see, but if you cannot solve it, you will have to pay a price to me."

"The price is that I want your past and future, and you will only exist in the present forever."

Hearing this, Li Qing's scalp tingled, and the old man exuded a strange aura, as if distorted and yet seemingly normal, contradictory but so real in his eyes.

He felt a creepy sensation rising in his heart, as if something was being born in his spiritual world.

Without any hesitation, Li Qing turned and left.

"No, thank you!"
