Chapter 734
Lu Qing’s goal was to master as many of the three thousand medium-tier restrictions within the secret realm as possible.
He believed that with his talent and the help of his Spiritual Powers, as long as he grasped the majority of these medium-tier restrictions—even if he couldn’t complete all three thousand—he could deduce the remaining ones himself.
Before, he had been wary of the other factions. But now, after mastering five hundred of the medium-tier restrictions, he could already shatter the barrier light curtains of the outer palaces with a single thought. The portion of restriction power from the secret realm he could draw upon had also become slightly stronger.
Don’t underestimate that small increase in power. The space within the Gui Xu Secret Realm was extraordinarily stable and sluggish—so much so that even a Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations cultivator couldn’t shake it. Both speed and strength were heavily suppressed, and even flight was impossible.
Yet the trace of the restriction power Lu Qing could mobilize allowed him to lessen the realm’s suppression upon him. This exchange had narrowed the gap between him and the top-tier Nascent Soul experts considerably.
Of course, this didn’t mean that Lu Qing could now contend with the top Nascent Souls—it was still far from that. But his hidden cards had strengthened enough that he wouldn’t be immediately subdued upon encounter. He could use the terrain of the secret realm to escape with ease.
Putting away the restriction he was studying, Lu Qing rose and looked toward the distance—toward the dozens of massive, majestic palaces ahead.
He knew that most of the factions who had entered the secret realm were likely inside those palaces, breaking restrictions and searching for treasures. But the Xuan Yuan Restriction was profound beyond measure. Without the proper inheritance, they could only grope around blindly, and their progress would be slow. Even after decades, they might not be able to unravel a single palace fully.
Previously, Lu Qing hadn’t dared to approach that area. Now, though, with his greatly increased survivability—able to break through barriers with a single thought—he could afford to take the risk.
