Three ancient wills were merely observing Lu Qing as he comprehended, broke formation, and conquered trials.
Everything seemed as easy and effortless as having a meal or drinking water.
Watching the formations that their master had painstakingly crafted, now effortlessly dismantled by a Primordial Spirit cultivator of the Fourth Tribulation, as if poking bubbles.
The three ancient wills within the Immortal Palace were uncertain of their feelings—complex, to say the least.
More crucially, they had originally estimated that Lu Qing could at most reach the fifth or sixth trial.
After all, the formations behind were immensely powerful, containing principles that were profoundly obscure.
Even those cultivators beyond the Seventh Tribulation of Primordial Spirit might not withstand the terrifying implications within.
Yet Lu Qing breezed through to the eighth trial, without showing any signs of strain.
Such a talent for formations was unprecedented even in the dazzling era of ancient times.
Therefore, the three ancient wills were indeed both shocked and delighted, and even slightly perplexed.
"Speaking of which, according to the master’s established rules, the eight test channels converge at the fifth, seventh, and ninth trials.
This allows cultivators undergoing trials in various channels to compete against one another.
But judging by this little one’s pace, others in different channels are unlikely to encounter him."
After a long silence, a voice like Hong Zhong suddenly spoke.
It glanced at other light screens, where even the fastest cultivators had only just entered the fourth trial.
The gap was so vast that catching up to Lu Qing in the eighth trial was impossible.
"It’s better they don’t encounter him. Should such a promising talent be accidentally harmed by them, the old dragon would flip!"
A hoarse voice echoed loudly.
The tone made no attempt to conceal its protective sentiment.
Having watched Lu Qing’s journey, it was exceedingly satisfied with him.
In the ancient dragon’s mind, Lu Qing had long been seen as the master’s most important direct disciple.
If such a precious talent were harmed by the fools from other pathways, it wouldn’t dare imagine its own rage at that time.
Although the old dragon’s words somewhat contravened the master’s set rules.
Neither the Hong Zhong voice nor the cool voice offered a rare rebuttal.
Because they too thought the same.
Having waited over 300,000 years for such a precious talent, who might fully inherit the master’s formation legacy, how could they allow any harm?
If anyone dared lay hands on Lu Qing, they would intervene despite the risk of penalties.
"He has conquered the eighth trial as well."
After a while, the hoarse voice rang.
It need not say anything as the other two wills also observed Lu Qing, enveloped by a light column, being transported to the ninth trial after shattering the eighth formation with ease.
By now, the full attention of the three ancient wills was upon Lu Qing.
In other trial pathways, no matter if someone occasionally broke through, it did not pique their slightest interest.
"I wonder if he can break the ninth trial." The hoarse voice said.
The other two wills also showed a look of anticipation.
Although Lu Qing’s talent for formation was unprecedented, enough to overshadow any formation genius.
The ninth trial of the formation test channels was equally extraordinary.
Its difficulty level was more than tenfold harder than the preceding eight combined.
Because the ninth trial’s formation transcended the realm of Primordial Spirit, containing a hint of Unity Realm’s formidable power.
If Lu Qing could break even this formation, his talent would be truly unparalleled and peerless.
As long as his future growth was smooth, his achievements would reach unimaginable heights.
"Finally arrived at the ninth trial."
In the space of the ninth trial, Lu Qing’s figure appeared, admiring the surrounding layers of formation light screens.
Feeling both awe-inspired and pleased.
Having comprehended the previous eight trials, he had grasped most of the inherent essence of the formation test channels.
The realization in his heart was brewing, ready to converge into a piece of genuine mystical inheritance.
He knew that fully understanding the grand array before him would complete the final piece of his realization, securing that inheritance.
Lu Qing began observing the last grand array encircling him.
"As expected, this ninth formation comprises a total of eighty-one light screens."
Lu Qing was not surprised, having discerned this pattern in earlier trials.
However, the potency of the final formation was astonishing.
