Chapter 1496: Chapter 887: Control Core (Part 2)

"Control core?" Lu Qing asked.

Old Cyan Dragon nodded: "Yes, it’s a Heaven-Reaching Jade Pillar, inscribed with countless mysterious runes. The master said it’s the foundation of the Immortal Palace, the key to the entire Dao Artifact. Once refined, it can control everything in the Immortal Palace."

It paused, looking at Lu Qing with a hint of seriousness.

"However, to refine that Jade Pillar requires an extremely strong Will of the Divine Soul.

The Jade Pillar itself contains the power of the Dao Artifact. Even a Divine Soul at the Unity Realm Stage can barely approach it under its crushing weight, let alone refine it.

Even experienced ones in the Unity Realm Stage may not necessarily succeed."

"So, I’m not sure if you can succeed, Ah Qing, but be mentally prepared."

Lu Qing, hearing this, merely smiled slightly.

"Lead the way, senior."

Seeing his calm demeanor, Old Cyan Dragon felt a bit more hopeful.

It turned and led Lu Qing into the depths of the Immortal Palace.

The Black Bull and Ming Feng also followed behind.

This time, Old Cyan Dragon didn’t walk but directly used Space Shifting.

It took Lu Qing through the layered spaces of the Immortal Palace, layer after layer, direction after direction.

Lu Qing noticed that the internal space structure of the Immortal Palace was extremely complex, multi-layered and intricately connected.

Some spaces were boundless, others were exquisitely small; some spaces were filled with various restrictions, while others were completely empty.

If not guided by Old Cyan Dragon, even he would spend a significant amount of time finding the core.

After traversing countless layers of space, Old Cyan Dragon finally stopped.

Before them lay a vast space.

This space was much more expansive than the previous hall, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The high dome reached into the clouds, out of sight.

The surrounding walls were inscribed with countless ancient runes that emitted a dim glow.

These runes were densely packed, overlapping, forming a massive Array.

And in the center of the space stood the Heaven-Reaching Jade Pillar.

The Jade Pillar stood at about a hundred feet high and ten-fathom thick. Its surface was smooth and white, emitting a gentle light.

Inscribed on the pillar were numerous mysterious runes, some resembling words, some like drawings, some like mysterious totems, dense and layered, seemingly recording some ancient secrets.

Around the Jade Pillar, light subtly flowed, forming ripples that spread in all directions.

However, Lu Qing had already acquired all the inheritance from Gui Xu Taoist.

Although he hadn’t cultivated everything to the highest realm, he could recognize that these runes were of the same lineage as Gui Xu, only more profound and mysterious.

Standing before the Jade Pillar, Lu Qing could clearly feel an immense force emanating from it, pressing against every corner of the space.

The power was so mighty that it could instill fear in an ordinary Unity Realm Stage cultivator, making them afraid to approach.

"Is this the core of the Immortal Palace?" Lu Qing asked.

Old Cyan Dragon nodded again, with a hint of reverence in its eyes.

"Yes, it is. The master once said that this pillar was crafted by countless ancestors of the Gui Xu lineage, embodying the mysteries of the Rune Path, Artifact Refining, and Array refinement. Once refined, it can control the entire Immortal Palace."

Looking at Lu Qing, it cautioned: "Be careful, Ah Qing, the power of this Jade Pillar is extraordinary. If it doesn’t work out, don’t force it."

Lu Qing nodded, without saying much.

He watched the Heaven-Reaching Jade Pillar quietly, with profound eyes.

Worthy of being a Dao Artifact.

Just the power emanating from it was enough to overwhelm those at the Unity Realm Stage.

The pressure felt like a Dashan, weighing on the mind, making it hard to breathe.

For an average Unity Realm Stage, let alone refining it, their Divine Soul Power would find it difficult to get close under such pressure.

Even he, standing before the Jade Pillar, could feel a slight pressure.

Though the pressure wasn’t intense, it was undeniably there.

This showed that the level of this Jade Pillar was even higher than he had imagined.

However, Lu Qing didn’t shrink back.

His Primordial Spirit had undergone numerous transformations.

From an ordinary Primordial Spirit to a Perfect Primordial Spirit, breaking the Nine Tribulations limit and reaching twelve and finally achieving Harmonization with nine Great Daos simultaneously.

Each transformation elevated the essence of his Primordial Spirit to a new level.

As of now, the essence of his Primordial Spirit had reached a realm that others could hardly fathom.

Just the pressure of an unhosted Dao Artifact wouldn’t be enough to suppress him.

Lu Qing didn’t hesitate for long, stepping forward.

He moved closer to the Heaven-Reaching Jade Pillar, foot by foot.

With each step, the pressure intensified.

When he was three feet away from the Jade Pillar, the pressure turned tangible, manifesting into an invisible force trying to push him away.

Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged, as he continued forward.

Two feet, one foot.

Finally, he arrived before the Jade Pillar.

He raised his right hand, slowly pressing it against the pillar.

At that moment, a vast force surged from the pillar, flowing through his arm into his body.

The force was overwhelmingly domineering, as if trying to tear him apart completely.

Yet, Lu Qing’s body didn’t budge.

Closing his eyes, the Divine Soul Power within his Primordial Spirit surged out like a flood, flowing into the pillar’s interior.

Bang!

Lu Qing’s vision blurred, as his consciousness entered a peculiar space.

It was a realm of chaos.

Boundless chaos, without sky, without earth, without up or down, without the Eight Directions.
