Chapter 455
455 Magical power
The breakthrough to the divine sea realm was more difficult than Lu Qing had imagined.
He had been cultivating for 15 years, and it was in real time. Taking into account the effects of his cultivation in the secret realm outside the starry sky and the time he saved in the spirit gathering holy temple, he would have spent 40 to 50 years in total.
After such a long time, he had indeed reached the peak Dharma stage. However, even with his powerful talent and cultivation method, he was still a step away from the final stage of the divine sea realm.
It’s not easy to squeeze in.
However, even though he had yet to complete his breakthrough, Lu Qing had gradually noticed and felt the power of the divine sea as he tried to break through to the deep sea level.
The core power of the divine sea level was the ‘world’.
At the materialization realm, a cultivator would use their own strength, spiritual energy, and other core powers to transform into an indomitable Dharma. In the divine sea realm, the Dharma form would undergo further changes and create a world with the demeanor of a God of creation.
Of course, the reason why this so-called ‘world’ was referred to with quotation marks was that it did not exist in the real world. It existed in the body of a cultivator, a combination of spiritual and material.
No matter how simple and crude the small world was, it could at least be considered a ‘world’.
This was the power of the so-called ‘divine sea’.
The power of a Dharma idol came from the power of absolute condensation, and the external appearance was the body of the Dharma idol. The power of the Spirit sea realm came from the primitive world, which was built by the cultivators themselves.
As for Lu Qing, he was stuck in his own body, in the process of creating a world that belonged to him.
The difficulty was not low.
This time, he had gone into seclusion and trained hard to Polish his cultivation at the Dharma stage to the peak. He had not spent much time, only about one-third of the time. He spent the rest of his time trying this out.
It wasn’t that there was no progress, but it was a long process.
The world he had constructed would always collapse quickly after it had a prototype and a framework.
The entire world was like a house without pillars. When Lu Qing used all his strength to support himself, the ‘house’ could still be maintained and would not collapse. However, the moment he let go, it would immediately collapse.
There was no point in that.
The cultivators at the spirit sea stage were powerful because the inner world they constructed could become the internal driving force of the cultivators ‘strength. It was the core and source of their strength, not some means. The inner world that Lu Qing had constructed still required him to maintain it with all his might. In fact, when he was maintaining it, it would take up almost all of his energy. There was no way he could use any other means to fight or do other things.
Under such circumstances, it could not be said that the breakthrough was a success.
The only fortunate thing was that even if this so-called inner world collapsed, it would not affect the safety of the cultivators. Otherwise, with the many failures that Jiuguang Lu Qing had experienced, even if he was extremely talented, it was enough to declare that his life was in danger.
However, Lu Qing still had a headache.
This breakthrough was too difficult.
However, no matter what, he could still be considered to have some clues now. At the very least, he could successfully construct a world. Even if he could not maintain the world on its own for the time being, he could at least see the light of hope.
In reality, even this level of achievement was something that Lu Qing had only discovered in the past few years. Before this, he was like a headless fly.
Although the Scripture of supremacy contained the method to break through the divine sea level, it was a different matter to understand the method before it was mastered and to learn it by oneself.
Lu Qing let go of his messy thoughts. Since the light of hope had appeared, he had to continue to live on!
Directly constructing a world with the support of one’s own power until it was perfect enough to operate on its own was the conventional method to break through to the divine sea stage recorded in the Taishang Scripture.
But now, it seemed that it was not possible.
Lu Qing had tried to analyze why it did not work.
In his opinion, this should be because the power of the cultivation world had not been restored enough. The ceiling of his strength still existed. Under this ceiling, even with Lu Qingzhi’s talent and cultivation techniques, he could only vaguely see the door to the spirit sea realm. Under such circumstances, it was not impossible for an inner world to be unable to support its cycle through conventional means.
However, in the Taishang Scripture, there was a relatively different breakthrough method.
Since directly constructing an inner world wouldn’t work, he would have to start from the beginning.
The way to achieve this was to compress all of one’s power, including one’s Dharma power, until it became a singularity. Then, it would explode out.
If he succeeded, then a primitive inner world would be constructed.
The inner world that appeared like this was developed by itself and not built by humans. Therefore, it would naturally be more perfect and would not encounter situations where it needed support. It could self-cycle.
However, this method of breaking through also had its natural disadvantages:
It was dangerous.
In the past few years, Lu Qing had tried many times to construct his inner world but failed. However, he did not have to pay much of a price. This meant that it should be relatively safe to break through to the divine sea realm using conventional means. Even if he failed, it would only be the collapse of the inner small world he had built. He could just rebuild it.
However, using a singularity’s explosion to construct an inner world was really not a good idea. He might just blow himself up.
This was also one of the main reasons why Lu Qing did not try to use this method immediately after he had failed to find a suitable location.
However, it seemed that he had no choice but to use it now.
Of course, there was another important reason why he made such a judgment. Lu Qing had also carefully evaluated the state of his body and whether he would be able to survive the explosion of the singularity if he failed.
If he would really die from the explosion, Lu Qing would rather not break through. He would not take such a risk.
There was no need for that. If he really couldn’t do it, he would use the resurrection exchange item to go out and find a few world locks. He would find a way to recover some of the source of the world’s power and expand the upper limit and ceiling of the world’s power. It would be of great help to him in breaking through the level of the spirit sea. He estimated that after opening one or two more world seals, he would be able to construct an inner world that could circulate on its own through normal means.
Moreover, he was not facing any huge dilemma where he had to break through or die if he didn’t.
Since that was the case, Lu Qing would not be so stupid as to try it out if the risk of using the singularity explosion to break through was huge, or even life-threatening.
But didn’t Yingying’s self-diagnosis say that the risk was completely under control?
For ordinary cultivators, the breakthrough method of a singularity explosion might be the same as the previous major breakthroughs. If they failed, they would die. At the very least, they would be seriously injured, or even hurt their Foundation. However, to Lu Qing, the very high Scripture’s level was high and its effects were very good. Even if he failed to create the world in the end, there was a very good protective mechanism that could greatly reduce the price Lu Qing had to pay.
The other point was that the ‘primordial sacred body’ was a powerful thing that combined many top-notch talents. It made Lu Qing’s endurance extremely strong.
Judging from this, even if the singularity explosion failed, it wouldn’t kill him. At most, he would be injured.
Lu Qing was not afraid of being injured. Relying on his talent and cultivation method, even if it was a very serious injury, he could still recover relatively easily, it was just that he had to spend some time.
After assessing the situation, Lu Qing was ready to give it a try.
...
Of course, it was not on Yuyan mountain.
Yuyan mountain was his lair, so he definitely could not take the risk.
The essence of a singularity’s explosion was to condense one’s own power into a point to a great extent, and then it would explode. If he succeeded, it would still be fine. The power that burst out would be controlled within his body and become a circulating inner world.
However, if he failed ...
The power that was out of control was destructive at the divine sea level. If this force were to explode on Yuyan mountain, not only would the people in the spirit vein not be able to survive, but the entire mountain would probably be destroyed.
The risk that Lu Qing could take did not mean that the Lu clan could take it.
Moreover, due to the system’s power, the free and high-quality spirit Qi provided by the system was almost inexhaustible. When Lu Qing was breaking through, he did not have to worry about the problem of the external environment’s source of power. He did not have to find a place with dense spirit Qi to break through.
In that case, the choice was easy to make: Wouldn’t it be fine to just find a place in the depths of the eastern sea?
When he had broken through to the materialization realm, the place he had chosen was quite good.
With a single thought, he set off immediately.
......
...
One year later, Lu Qing, who was at the bottom of the sea, had no signs of life.
When all of his power, from his blood essence, true essence, the power of his spirit, and even his enormous dharma body, was compressed to a tiny ‘point’ that didn’t exist on a macro level, his physical body would naturally appear dead, without any vitality.
However, Lu Qing could no longer pay attention to his appearance. It was easy to say that all the power was compressed into a singularity, but it was simply too difficult to sit up.
It was still fine at the beginning, but the further he went, the smaller this point was compressed, and the greater the resistance he encountered.
Even with his powerful and efficient control of power, it was still difficult for him to continue in the later stages.
The last thing he could do was to force his own power into the singularity bit by bit. He also had to control the point that had already compressed and sealed an extremely powerful force so that it would not explode prematurely.
How could this be considered hard work?
Throughout the entire process, Lu Qing was rather frightened, especially during this period of time. He was afraid that if he did not control it well and could not suppress it, his power would burst out in advance. If that happened, all his efforts would be in vain.
Fortunately, no matter how frightened he was, he did it.
In that case, the rest of the matter would depend on fate.
Lu Qing had never been too worried about this.
If fate isn’t on my side, who else can it be on?
Lu Qing held back his will and released all the restrictions. He then immediately turned around and began to control his own power.
The explosion of a singularity was not just letting it explode. If he had completely lost control, such a huge force would have instantly left his body and started to spread outward, eventually causing a violent explosion like a nuclear bomb.
In that case, it would only be the energy leaking out in a disorderly manner. It would have nothing to do with the formation of an inner world with a self-circulating ability.
The explosion wasn’t a goal, but a means. In essence, it was to simulate the birth of a world through the process of extreme compression and explosion of this power. From there, it would form an inner world with a cycle ability.
During this process, in order to not lose control of his power, he could not let the effects of the explosion leave his body.
Lu Qing was trying his best to control this.
This was more difficult than he had imagined, but Jian Jia had succeeded.
He could sense that everything within his body had changed.
The meridians, flesh, and internal organs of the original body had completely disappeared under the violent explosion. Or rather, it still existed, but it had been completely integrated into a completely fictional chaotic world.
The inner world of chaos could only appear within his body. Inside, everything was empty, but it was not the kind of deathly nothingness. It was more like everything was in a state of germination. This kind of ’emptiness’ was the ’emptiness’ that was full of vitality.
“So this is what the world started off like?”
Lu Qing suddenly came to a realization.
Lu Qing put aside his feelings for the time being and started to test his strength with great interest.
The body of a Dharma idol could still be used, but the principle was different.
The original dharma body was a manifestation of one’s own Dharma power projected to the outside world.
At that moment, the Dharma body was more like a projection of the power of the inner world.
The biggest difference was the difference in the nature of their power.
He was no longer controlling true essence, but a completely new power of a different nature and a higher level.
In the records of the very high Scripture, this power was called ‘magical power’.
The special characteristic of ‘dharmic power’ was that it would reach the level of true immortality.
