Chapter 742: Chapter 484: Lu Qing Leaves Seclusion, Cultivation Is Difficult

Here is the translated text:

The moment he saw the Holy Mountain, despair surfaced in Li Bao’s eyes.

On his way back to the Central State, he still fantasized that the sect might come to his rescue.

After all, he was, at least, the son of the Supreme Elder of the Cangshan Sect.

However, the calm along the way made him realize that the sect had completely abandoned him.

Now all that awaited him was the judgment of the Holy Mountain.

The members of the enforcement squad had no concern for Li Bao’s thoughts.

They hurried back to the Holy Mountain and handed Li Bao over to the people at the Punishment Hall; the rest of the matter had nothing to do with them.

Their task this time was merely to capture Li Bao. As for the subsequent interrogation, that was the business of the Punishment Hall.

But they could be certain that after the Punishment Hall interrogated him and confirmed that he indeed killed the hundreds of people in Miao’s Village,

that guy would absolutely not survive.

The ban of the Holy Mountain is no joke.

In the past decade, many strong figures tried to challenge the law, but so far, once any evil deed was exposed, not a single one escaped the punishment of the Holy Mountain.

Even a Foundation Establishment Realm expert couldn’t escape the capture of their enforcement squad!

"Senior Brother, now that the task is complete, where are you going? We plan to go to the Merit Hall to see if there’s anything to exchange for. Are you coming?"

After handing Li Bao over to the Punishment Hall, several other members of the enforcement squad asked the youth.

"I’m not going, you guys go ahead."

At this thought, the youth’s heart still ached a little.

This task cost him a Featherweight Talisman and a Thunder Light Talisman use, which was a significant depletion.

The merit from capturing Li Bao couldn’t make up for this loss.

He thought for a moment and felt it was mainly because his strength was too poor.

If his cultivation was at the Innate Realm Early Stage, with the aid of the Featherweight Talisman, he would have captured Li Bao without using the Thunder Light Talisman.

So he felt it wasn’t a good idea to take on any tasks recently; he should instead focus on cultivation to see if he could advance further.

The other enforcement squad members, upon hearing this, exchanged glances.

They knew their Senior Brother had incurred a loss with this task and must not be in a good mood.

So they said no more, fearing they might upset him.

After parting with a few Junior Brothers, the youth walked towards his residence.

As members of the enforcement squad, they were qualified to live on the Holy Mountain.

But their location was relatively low, near the foot of the mountain.

Of course, given their Innate Realm entry-level cultivation, even if allowed higher, they couldn’t endure it.

The invisible pressure of the Holy Mountain becomes stronger the higher you go.

Moreover, over the years, with the continuous recovery of Spiritual Energy, the invisible pressure on the Holy Mountain is also gradually strengthening.

It would be fine for occasional visits to the mountain, but long-term residence—no matter if one is in the Innate Realm—cannot withstand such immense pressure continuously.

Returning to his residence, as the youth was about to hang up the sign to decline visitors, he suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from the mountain.

It made his heart and spirit tremble, and his limbs could not help but shake.

"What happened?!"

The youth was shocked and immediately ran out of his residence to look up the mountain.

But before he could discern anything, the terrifying pressure vanished, as if it had all been just an illusion.

But the youth knew it was definitely not an illusion.

The pressure just now was terrifying, much more than the aura of any major Golden Core Realm figure he’d ever seen from afar.

"Whose aura was that, the three Saint Masters, or could it be that the legendary figure has exited seclusion?"

At the thought of the legendary figure, the youth couldn’t help but feel excited.

There have always been rumors on the Holy Mountain that the legendary figure is in closed-door cultivation up there.

But no one had seen this figure’s true form in the Holy Mountain.

Probably, no one aside from the three Saint Masters could verify if the rumor was true.

Since the grand gathering ten years ago, that figure has seldom appeared in the world, seemingly fading into silence.

No one could confirm where he actually was.

Now, feeling this sudden immense pressure reminded the youth of that rumor.

There’s quite a few on the Holy Mountain who share the youth’s thoughts.

Unfortunately, despite all the speculation, no one could go to verify it.

The direction from which the pressure came was the highest point on the Holy Mountain.

In that position, the Holy Mountain’s invisible pressure had reached a terrifying degree.

Even a Golden Core True Man would find it hard to stay long.

Cultivators below the Golden Core have no qualification to step foot there.

So the vast majority of people who felt the pressure on the Holy Mountain could only keep it in their hearts and go about their own matters after a brief period of uncertainty.

At the top of the Holy Mountain, within a Cave Mansion rich in Spiritual Energy.

Lu Qing, who had just broken through and accidentally released a trace of aura, displayed a look of contemplation.

"Did this seclusion breakthrough take nearly a year?

Such a long time spent just for a minor breakthrough in the realm.

I fear stepping officially into the Golden Core Fourth Transition; I don’t know how much longer that might take.

Moreover..."

Lu Qing felt the Spiritual Energy within the Cave Mansion and looked helpless.

"Since breaking through to the Golden Core Third Transition, the Spiritual Energy in this Holy Mountain Cave Mansion has become less effective for me.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken six or seven years just to cultivate from the Golden Core Third Transition to now the Third Transition Perfection."

Indeed, Lu Qing’s breakthrough just now wasn’t significant.

It was merely cultivating the Golden Core Third Transition to perfection.

Seven years ago, he had already entered the Third Transition realm.

It took him a full seven years to cultivate the Third Transition to perfection.

The reason his cultivation speed slowed so much.

The key reason was his foundation was too profound.

The Perfect Golden Core he refined already had an astonishingly deep foundation.

Added to this, the Five Elements Gourd and the Five Great Spiritual Pearls, these two Exotic Treasures, constantly nurtured his Divine Soul and Physical Body.

Enhancing his talent and potential further, reaching an unprecedented degree.

But with such profound foundation and talent, there were drawbacks.

Each advancement in his cultivation realm required enormous resources.

Moreover, since he refined a Perfect Golden Core,𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

his Mana was inherently incredibly pure.

Upon initially entering the Golden Core Realm, the purity of his Mana was comparable to that of a Top-grade Golden Core of the Second or Third Transition.

After reaching the Golden Core Third Transition, the purity of his Mana further reached an unimaginably high level for ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Such pure Mana required vast amounts of Spiritual Energy to refine even a trace.

To advance to the Third Transition Perfection realm required vast amounts of Spiritual Energy — a quantity fit to be called immense.

Only in this Holy Mountain Cave Mansion, combined with the help of the Five Elements Gourd, his Lifebound Magical Treasure, that assisted in refining and concentrating his Mana,

otherwise, the time needed to achieve the Third Transition Perfection would probably be several times more.

Yet, it ends here.

Upon reaching the Third Transition Perfection, Lu Qing felt the Spiritual Energy in the Cave Mansion became even less effective for him.

The thought of stepping into the Fourth Transition seemed incredibly difficult.
