Chapter 726: Chapter 528: Paying Respects to the Celestial Monarch

In fact, Immortal Qi and Immortal Spirit Qi, Lu Qian had neither seen nor touched before, only read about them in some ancient books.

But now, in this pure white space, this kind of spirited and vibrant energy, the quality is so high that it has surpassed the realm of Spiritual Qi, and confirms the records in ancient texts, which can only be described as Immortal Qi.

Upon consumption, all ailments clear, cultivation progresses rapidly, thus withered grasses and nectar alone enable daytime ascension.

Lu Qian suddenly understood that his body state was perfect, the Dantian had expanded marvelously, and the Golden Core was exquisite, which must be related to the Immortal Qi.

Every time a cultivator breaks into a new realm, the old Spiritual Power is exhausted, leaving the Dantian empty, necessitating the frantic absorption of Spiritual Qi, often creating a formidable spectacle, as the Qi infusion forms a whirlpool that stimulates further enhancement of Spiritual Power reserves.

However, Lu Qian, upon forming the core, was struck by lightning and before he could absorb Spiritual Qi, he was brought to this place. During the time when he had lost consciousness, the Golden Core had already operated automatically, completing this step, transforming into new Spiritual Power.

Only, he was not absorbing Spiritual Qi, but Immortal Qi!

Infused with Immortal Qi!

Under the nourishment and purification of the Immortal Spirit Qi, his meridians, acupoints, muscles, bones, internal organs, and even the Dantian have been invigorated with new vitality, raising the total Spiritual Power by another twenty to thirty percent!

Relying solely on his own Spiritual Power now, launching four or five Fourfold Transformations is no problem.

Spiritual Power surged forth, his whole body felt incomparably invigorated, and in excitement, Lu Qian instantly felt an impulse to test his Divine Techniques—

"Awake now, huh."

A magnetic voice suddenly sounded in Lu Qian’s ear. Lu Qian was startled, yet even with his strong Consciousness Collection, he couldn’t react fast enough; he only felt his body move, and before his eyes, there appeared a vision that was filled with a golden tree reaching the heavens.

He had been instantly moved before the tree by an unimaginable force!

Before him stood an awe-inspiring golden giant tree. The treetop spanned tens of thousands of miles wide, its boundaries unseen, its gnarled branches twisted, densely covered with golden leaves that obscured the pure white space above.

A sudden breeze blew by, causing the leaves to tremble gently, rustling like a golden ocean in the air.

But its roots were buried within the pure white space, unseen, with unknown depths below.

The golden light across the entire golden giant tree was continuously flowing, slowly moving from the roots up to the branches and leaves, radiant and transparent. It was like a golden river, ultimately pouring into the golden sea of the treetop.

Stunned by the golden giant tree that filled his entire vision, it took Lu Qian several breaths before noticing the white-clothed man beneath the tree trunk, appearing extremely small in contrast.

Upon seeing the man clearly, Lu Qian was once again in a daze.

This was the most perfect face under the heavens, the most favored creation of heaven and earth.

To the extent that all adjectives lost their meaning, even using "handsome" would be an understatement.

Among cultivators, those of beauty are abundant, and even Lu Qian himself considered himself handsome and spirited. But seeing this man, he realized that such a perfect appearance existed in the world.

However, when the man looked at Lu Qian, or rather, made the motion of "tilting his head" and met his eyes, Lu Qian couldn’t help but be shocked.

Those were a pair of greyish-white eyes, emitting a deep sense of death, with no sign of vitality.

He was blind!

But in the next moment, Lu Qian saw more clearly, his breath slightly paused.

He saw the man’s right sleeve was empty, and the position of his legs was also vacant!

An immense regret surged in his heart, for such perfect appearance, enough to captivate beings, yet handicapped, how could one not sigh in sorrow?

"Are you feeling sorry for me?" The man suddenly laughed, a sound that seemed to clear one’s mind and was as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Unlike the restraint of Spiritual Pressure in the Golden Core akin to a mortal body, this mysterious man, in Lu Qian’s powerful Divine Sense, was instead a void!

His naked eyes told him there was an unparalleled man before him, but his Divine Sense asserted that there was nothing in front of him.

Lu Qian had no doubt that the form he was seeing was only because this person wished him to see it.

Incapable of being seen, probed, or understood by mortals, this must be—

Immortal!

Lu Qian immediately bowed to the ground, dared not speak carelessly, and respectfully performed three bows.

The man smiled slightly again: "You’re speculating now, aren’t you? Guessing which Immortal I am, and why I haven’t restored my body."

Lu Qian was astonished, for it was exactly what he had been thinking!

The man’s identity could not yet be fully determined, and even a Nascent Soul Spirit Monarch could restore severed limbs, or even, as long as the Nascent Soul remained, regenerate a body. How could this one, being a True Immortal, not do so?

Moreover, how could he sense what I was thinking?

Even True Immortal Divines cannot pry into others’ minds!

"No need for alarm or doubt. It’s your own emotional fluctuations that are too evident, and the subtle currents within your body are changing." The man instructed in a highly magnetic voice on how to evade his detection, seemingly unbothered, "Just calm your mind and stabilize your emotions, and I won’t be able to perceive it."

"As for the injuries on my body." The man calmly raised his only remaining left hand, pointing over his body.

"My legs were wiped out by the First Celestial Monarch, the Celestial Mandate, and the Emotionless Dao Celestial Monarch."

"The right arm was cut off by the Fifth Celestial Monarch, the Endless and Infinite Earth Celestial Monarch."

"As for my eyes, it was the Curse Art of the Seventh Celestial Monarch, the Merciful Propagation of Miao Fa Celestial Monarch."
