Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Tribulation Crossing —

He was no stranger to this; in fact, in the Mountain and Sea Realm, consuming lightning tribulations had enhanced his comprehension of the laws of lightning—if described as a percentage.

火道法则（90%）、吞噬法则（95%）、雷霆法则（80%）、五行法则（60%）、毒之法则（30%）、星辰法则（10%）。

That's pretty much the situation.

After comprehending the laws to 100%, the next step is to master the laws, become the master of the rules of heaven and earth, condense the source of the laws, learn from heaven and earth, and replicate the natural rules in the Dao Fruit.

The previous enlightenment was like the power of the law that he had comprehended through the "right to know" being naked in front of him; he could look at it, but he could not touch it.

Once you reach this stage and have grasped the essence, you need to master it.

The core of cultivation at the fifth level lies in this.

The realm of the fifth-rank Dao Lord: Golden Core Dao Fruit, Dharma with Primordial Spirit, Five Qi Converging to the Origin, Grotto Heaven Immortal Garden.

The Dao Fruit is the source of the Laws and is the focus of the next stage of cultivation.

The Dharma has a primordial spirit that pursues the limits of skill in order to master the controllable laws it has conceived, to nurture the spiritual essence from the supernatural powers of the perfect realm, and even to create magical beings, which is mysterious and profound.

The Five Elements converge, and the essence, energy, and spirit are sublimated once again. The pinnacle of mind, skill, and body is also closely related to the upper limit of mastering the laws.

The Celestial Garden is a stage achievement in mastering the path of laws, a brand-new manifestation of Daoist cultivation, and possesses the power to create worlds! It is unlike any other secret realm opened up by an ordinary Daoist Lord.

Rather, it is about truly stepping onto the starting line of creating the world.

He has already broken through his cultivation realm and successfully condensed his Golden Core Dao Fruit. He only needs the Heavenly Dao's blessing brought by the tribulation lightning to perfectly reach the fifth realm.

Boom————

With a thunderous roar, Gu Qing burst out of the Three Immortals Mountain, his divine sense expanding unrestrainedly. He quickly discovered Fairy Huanyin and the others. Many dragons from the Western Sea had gathered, and the leaders of the four sects in the near-sea area had also come to observe.

Upon seeing this, Fairy Huanyin transmitted her voice to Gu Qing.

The low-grade Heavenly Treasure-level [Heavenly Net Lightning-Avoiding Umbrella] was delivered to him. As a treasure for avoiding calamity, its value was extremely precious, not inferior to ordinary top-grade Heavenly Treasures.

After all, for a powerful force, it is a rare treasure that can increase the number of top-tier experts.

Gu Qing did not refuse. Although he was confident, it was always good to have an extra layer of insurance.

The triple lightning tribulation, belonging to a sixth-grade cultivator, has lost its previous pattern and merged with the tribulation of attaining enlightenment, making its power even more astonishing.

The first bolt of lightning was like a pillar of thunder.

With the force of a thunderbolt, it suddenly struck Gu Qing, its purple and gold hues shattering the space itself into fragments.

Against the backdrop of the endless darkness of the void, Gu Qing stood proudly, his aura radiating outwards without any concealment. The dragon and phoenix sang in harmony, and his Nirvana Immortal Body was fully unleashed.

The destructive power of the purple-gold lightning far surpasses that of the pure gold lightning.

Even with Gu Qing's physique, he felt pain.

Destruction precedes construction; the power of rebirth!

Reborn from destruction, it endured hundreds of extremely violent lightning strikes in the short time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Gu Qing no longer held back —

He hadn't originally planned to put all the lightning tribulations together, since no one could guarantee they could survive something they hadn't experienced before.

But this is another golden opportunity.

By refining the lightning tribulation using the Devouring Method and then injecting it into the lightning tribulation flames, the power of the flames will surely increase dramatically. The multiple fusions of the lightning tribulation might even help him comprehend 100% of the lightning laws in one fell swoop.

A rare opportunity.

As a younger generation, a key element of overtaking others on a curve is taking risks that push the limits.

Eat! Eat it all!
With his Dao Fruit power greatly depleted, he unleashed the perfected Devouring Dao Great Divine Power—Heaven and Earth Devouring—for the first time without reservation.

This powerful technique, which accompanied him throughout almost his entire cultivation career, was a trump card he had cultivated for nearly three hundred years, using countless resources for enlightenment. It now displayed the power to devour the heavens.

The Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, seemed to materialize and burst out of Gu Qing's body, a tiny black dot condensing within its endlessly vast maw. The next instant...

The 100,000-mile-long tribulation clouds began to shrink and become smaller, space was torn apart, and heaven and earth seemed to have been bitten into by something. A section of the sky above the Western Sea disappeared.

It not only devoured the source of the lightning tribulation, but also that aura of the Heavenly Dao.

I have once consumed the same kind of Blood Sea consciousness.

Gu Qing was relatively experienced, but such a massive amount of energy still caused his blood to splatter all over his body. The purple-gold heavenly lightning raged within him, making his flesh glow.

The flesh, bones, and internal organs are all reflected in the image.

The combined power of Nirvana Immortal Body, Nine Revolutions Nirvana Divine Power, and Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Undying Body, along with the triple recovery of divine energy, clashed with the lightning tribulation, constantly depleting it.

This is the situation.

All the spectators were speechless with astonishment.

"have eaten---"

"He actually swallowed such a terrifying lightning tribulation—"

"Incredible."

"amazing!!!"

"It seems that another peerless expert will be born in our human race."

Regardless of whether Gu Qing can consume this heavenly tribulation energy, the heavenly tribulation has already disappeared, and the Heavenly Dao cannot change its own operating rules.

As the heavenly light shone down, Gu Qing's Golden Core Dao Fruit in his Qi Sea was completely perfected, and he broke through the realm—complete!
The lifespan limit has also been broken.

Gu Qing endured the pain and transmitted his voice to the surroundings.

"Ten years from now, the founding ceremony of the Qing Palace will be held at the same time as my Dao attainment ceremony. Everyone is welcome to attend. I need to go into seclusion to digest these benefits at the moment... I apologize."

Those people were all sensible; since Gu Qing had said so, they naturally wouldn't linger. They offered a few words of congratulations and then left, as they also needed to investigate Gu Qing's background.

And so, ten years later.
