Chapter 126: Introduction to the Rune Path, Divine Soul Power!
Feeling the formidable strength concealed within his body, Lu Qing felt somewhat satisfied.
Perfect Muscle and Bone Realm.
It represented the muscular strength of Postnatal Realm Martial Artists reaching one's own limit.
Continuing to temper with Qi-Blood could no longer increase it even in the slightest.
Even if he broke through to the Internal Organ Realm, the strength of his muscles and bones wouldn't increase much.
Unless there was a great opportunity to obtain some magical Spiritual Medicine, it might be possible to break the limit again and further strengthen the muscles and bones.
But Lu Qing had already consumed Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, which greatly enhanced his own talent.
His muscular strength now was several times stronger than that of an ordinary practitioner at the perfection of the Muscle and Bone Realm.
Finding Spiritual Medicine rarer than Earth Vein Spirit Liquid to continue breaking through limits seemed unlikely.
What comes next should be to solidify the foundation and then strive to break through to the Internal Organ Realm.
However, the breakthrough in the Muscle and Bone Realm certainly pleased Lu Qing.
What made him even more delighted was another breakthrough.
Lu Qing picked up a Green Bamboo Leaf and quietly looked at it.
At that moment, a bamboo leaf, ordinarily unremarkable to the common eye, appeared very special to him.
Especially the patterns on it, which carried a different implication.
"After so long, I've finally understood the basics of the Rune Path."
Gently turning the bamboo leaf in his hand, Lu Qing revealed a smile.
It was only at the moment of attaining perfection in the Muscle and Bone Realm, leveraging that perfect state of mind,
that he had an epiphany which made him break through the Rune Path, which had been at a bottleneck for some time.
The three hundred mysterious runes in his mind were all deciphered for a trace of implication and could be correlated with patterns in the real world.
Truth be told, since obtaining the Divine Talisman Sect inheritance, Lu Qing had practiced the Rune Path for quite some time.
It could be considered the most difficult Technique among all the inheritances he had received.
Even with the aid of Superpower, it still took him so much time to truly get started.
These days, he observed all kinds of things in daily life.
Pots, bowls, ladles, stones, leaves, flowers, weeds, gold, silver, jewels...
Anything he could see, he would try to observe from a perspective of calming the mind and cleansing the heart.
The more he observed, the deeper Lu Qing's understanding of the three hundred mysterious runes in the summary of the runes became.
Gradually, a subtle insight began to form in his heart, accumulating slowly.
But this insight had reached a bottleneck not long ago, and no longer progressed.
Lu Qing could feel that he was only one step away from truly starting the Rune Path.
But that step remained elusive.
The inheritance left by the Divine Talisman Sect stated that this step had to be comprehended by oneself.
Because the Rune Path is ever-changing and contains the supreme truth of the universe.
Every practitioner of the Rune Path has their unique insights and understanding of the connection between runes and the universe.
Adhering too rigidly to the experiences of predecessors might instead become a restraint and hinder future cultivation.
This was why Lu Qing had been stuck on this step for so long.
Now, leveraging the breakthrough in the Martial Arts Realm and the realization during the transformation of Qi-Blood and muscles, he inadvertently opened the massive gate of the Rune Path.
"It was my narrow view, the first mantra of the Divine Talisman Sect legacy demands the disciple to regard all things in the universe as teachers. I only observed external objects and forgot that humans themselves are also part of all things.
Living creatures themselves are the most magical and unbelievable existence among all things in the universe.
Without understanding the mysteries of life, how could one sketch a Spirit Talisman with a soul?"
Of course, sketching a Spirit Talisman with a soul, this almost divine technique, isn't something that an ordinary rune practitioner could master.
Even within the Divine Talisman Sect's legacy, this was treated merely as a lofty pursuit.
Presently, it was even less likely for Lu Qing to comprehend such profound mysteries.
He only had an epiphany about the mysteries in Qi-Blood flow and flesh transformation during his own breakthrough, feeling inspired, and thus started on the Rune Path.
He still hadn't mastered even the simplest runes, let alone sketching a Spirit Talisman.
"However, now that I've started on the Rune Path, I can finally cultivate the Secret Technique mentioned in the inheritance."
Lu Qing's eyes shimmered with a faint light.
Within the Divine Talisman Sect legacy, there was a special Secret Technique that allowed cultivators who hadn't achieved Postnatal Realm Perfection_boostdivine Soul Power.
But this Secret Technique also had its cultivation prerequisites.
One, the cultivator's physical condition must at least reach the Muscle and Bone Realm level.
This was necessary to withstand the stress of the Divine Soul during refinement.
Two, the cultivator must have started the Rune Path, and their Heart and Spirit must be strong to a certain extent.
Only when these two conditions are met, and protected by a Rare Treasure Liquid such as Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, can one cultivate the Secret Technique.
Thus, although the Divine Talisman Sect's Secret Technique allows cultivators to cultivate Divine Soul Power prematurely,
the conditions for its cultivation are equally stringent.
It's nearly as difficult as cultivating to perfection in the Internal Organ Realm.
Fortunately, Lu Qing now met all the conditions.
Seeing that it was still early in the day, Lu Qing thought for a moment and then set out with Little Li to the mountains.
Before long, the two, a man and a little beast, arrived at the valley where the Jade Cave was located.
Looking at the valley filled with the chirping of birds and fragrance of flowers, Lu Qing's mind drifted momentarily.
