Chapter 967: Chapter 613: Unstoppable Momentum, Trial Passed, Mysterious Voice Returns

Soon, he passed the tenth bone segment and entered the eleventh bone segment’s range.

This scene naturally amazed the strong figures below once again.

"What, the tenth bone segment couldn’t even slow his steps?"

"More than that, why do I feel like his speed has increased!"

"Everyone else slows down as they go higher, why is it the opposite for him? Is this reasonable?"

"What exactly is that protective aura around him? Even the illusory spiritual beasts can’t do anything to it?"

"Such speed, crossing the tenth bone segment and entering the eleventh, he’s officially surpassed Ba Tian and the others!"

Seeing Lu Qing entering the tenth bone segment with undiminished speed, then ascending the eleventh with extreme swiftness, the crowd of strong figures all displayed expressions of utter shock.

Especially seeing those illusory spiritual beasts unable to shake the faint white light on Lu Qing’s body, they felt even more incredulous.

Even the top Golden Cores like Ba Tian showed expressions of surprise.

They had all ascended the tenth bone segment and understood how terrifying those spiritual beasts were.

Even the protective light derived from activating a Spiritual Artifact could hardly last long.

Yet this person resisted it; could it be that the Spiritual Artifact he possesses is far more powerful than theirs?

Under the amazed gazes of the strong figures, Lu Qing rapidly ascended without hindrance, reaching the fifteenth bone segment in no time.

Here, the pressure on his body had reached an appalling level.

If this pressure fell on other cultivators, even someone at the latter stage of the Golden Core Realm would likely be instantly crushed into flesh pulp.

Only an anomaly like Lu Qing could withstand it.

Yet even he, upon reaching the fifteenth bone segment, finally found his steps slowing.

Plus, the spiritual beasts taking form were becoming increasingly powerful, now capable of shaking his body treasure light.

Lu Qing had to slightly reduce his speed.

"Finally slowing down..."

"He reached the fifteenth bone segment in one go!"

"How formidable is this person’s physical body!"

"His performance has completely surpassed Ba Tian and the others. Is he really still in the Golden Core Realm?"

The strong figures below were already in a daze.

Even the top Golden Cores like Ba Tian and Shen Cangfeng were deeply shocked.

In their initial estimates, even if Lu Qing managed to surpass them, he should’ve at most reached the twelfth or thirteenth bone segment before reaching his limit.

Yet they never expected him to reach the fifteenth bone segment before slowing down.

And now he was still climbing; though his speed was reduced, it was still much faster than their own at the tenth bone segment.

This indicated that Lu Qing hadn’t yet reached his limit; the fifteenth bone segment wasn’t his ultimate height.

"Is this person really in the Golden Core Realm?"

Even Ba Tian couldn’t help but voice his question.

Beside him, Shen Cangfeng remained silent, but his expression was notably grave.

Because what Ba Tian marvelled at was also the question in his heart.

"Isn’t he perhaps some Primordial Spirit Great Power using some unknown Secret Technique to infiltrate?"

On the other side, the Daoxu Temple Daoist in a Star Daoist Robe couldn’t help but express his astonishment.

The veiled, cool woman beside him didn’t reply; she simply gazed up at Lu Qing, waves of emotion stirring in her eyes, revealing her inner turmoil despite her calm exterior.

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of the strong figures, Lu Qing stepped onto the sixteenth bone segment’s steps.

At this moment, his steps were incredibly heavy.

Landing on the steps, there was a dull thud.

Spiritual beasts around him were like a hundred ghosts in a parade, frantically attacking him, trying to break his body treasure light and infiltrate his body to consume him entirely.

Under such attacks, Lu Qing’s body treasure light finally began to waver, showing signs of strain.

"With just the Power of the Physical Body, can I only go this far?"

Lu Qing stood there, silently feeling the pressure on his body, a realization dawning in his mind.

Though he could still continue upward, relying solely on physical strength, he could perhaps only complete this bone segment and no longer withstand the next one’s pressure.

"It seems I need to employ a trump card."

Just as Lu Qing was about to activate his Magic Power Golden Core, suddenly a genderless voice spoke in his mind.

"Trialist, you have passed the trial of Witch Mountain. Do you wish to enter the Purification Pool and receive the baptism?"

"I passed the trial?"

The sudden voice caught Lu Qing off guard.

He didn’t expect to gain recognition before reaching his true limit.

However, he didn’t agree immediately, instead calmly inquiring in his mind, "If I go to the Purification Pool now, can I meet Little Li?"

"Are you referring to that little spiritual beast? Certainly, trialists who pass the primary trial will undergo purification in the same pool."

"Primary trial?" Lu Qing’s heart was stirred, "So there are higher trials?"

"Naturally. By reaching the sixteenth bone segment solely with physical power, you’ve just barely met the standards of our Witch Clan’s elite disciples from the past, passing the primary trial of Bone Mountain and earning the qualification for the Purification Baptism to become a Witch."

"What are the higher trials?"

"If you can reach the twentieth bone segment, you pass the intermediate trial, comparable to the geniuses of our Witch Clan in the past.

If you reach the thirtieth bone segment, you’d pass the advanced trial, on par with direct descendants of the Witch Clan with true Ancestor Witch bloodline.

However, cultivators from the Path of Qi Refinement, like you, cannot hope to pass trials beyond the intermediate level. I advise you to give up."

"Path of Qi Refinement, what is that?"

Lu Qing’s interest was piqued, and he immediately asked.

"The Path of Qi Refinement refers to cultivators like you who follow the Qi Refining Path. In ancient times, we referred to them as the Path of Qi Refinement, though you cultivate the Path of Qi Refinement, your physical body rivals the elite disciples of our Witch Clan, which makes you quite an anomaly."

"I am a cultivator of the Path of Qi Refinement, but according to your records in the outside hall, I should be your enemy. Why then allow me to pass the trial and enter your Witch Clan’s Purification Pool?"

Lu Qing voiced a doubt he held in his heart.

"You can see the murals in the hall?" The voice seemed slightly surprised but quickly calmed, "Those are ancient matters; whether our Witch Clan still exists today is debatable. Is it meaningful to cling to such hatred? Besides, these occurred countless millennia ago; what do they matter to a little guy like you?"

Lu Qing didn’t expect such a response.

Simultaneously, he confirmed that the entity communicating with him was undoubtedly an ancient existence that had lived for untold eras.

Immediately, his demeanor showed some respect, "Senior, what benefits would there be if I pass higher-level trials?"

"You wish to keep going?" The voice expressed slight surprise.

"Indeed, I still have some strength left and want to try again."

"I advise you not to overestimate yourself; the pressure and evil qi above aren’t something your cultivation can support."

"I’m aware of these limitations, and if it becomes impossible, I will naturally give up," Lu Qing insisted.

"Ah, little ones like you, always so ambitious. Our Witch Clan also had many such spirited young ones back in the day.

Very well, it seems I can’t dissuade you. Go ahead and try, though this Witch Mountain’s trial is beyond even my interference. Should any mishap occur and you fall here, don’t regret it."

The voice seemed unusually gentle with Lu Qing, perhaps because it had been too long since its last interaction.

"I understand."

"Then continue upwards; should you reach the twentieth bone segment and pass the intermediate trial, you’ll qualify to enter the intermediate purification pool. If you reach the thirtieth, you may access the advanced pool, and upon reaching the summit, you’ll enter the true marrow purification pool."

"True marrow purification pool?" Lu Qing’s eyes lit up.
