They naturally couldn't know the specific reasons.
Judging a person's reincarnation is always based on their True Spirit.
Lu Qing's True Spirit was complete and undamaged, so it was naturally impossible for any unforeseen changes to have occurred.
However, Lu Qing understood in his heart.
Regarding his satisfaction with the Dharma Treasure, he thought of another aspect.
Because after seeing these three Xuantian Immortal Sect Dharma Treasures, Lu Qing could vaguely sense why such a test would appear.
"The competition among the Top Ten True Inheritors within the Dao Sect has just concluded, but immediately following it, the matter of changes appearing in the Tianyang Realm occurred. Without a doubt, it is all related to Qi."
Before, during the time of Eight Desolations, Lu Qing was within the Dao Sect, merely observing from the sidelines.
However, this time, before the changes were about to descend, he had actually dealt with this Tianyang change.
After the Tianyang change appeared, the six paths of Qi churned even more intensely.
At the same time, Lu Qing also saw some aspects of the Immortal Dao Qi slowly declining.
'Indeed, many people with great Qi Fortune in Immortal Dao Sects have appeared, but the other six paths are the same. These people with great Qi Fortune have not yet been found to be Sons of the Era who were born with great Qi Fortune in the Immortal Dao.'
Lu Qing's thoughts flashed through his mind. Every era has Cultivator Prodigies and Geniuses. After their era passes, new Geniuses will appear.
And those who can leave their mark alone in the long river of time are undoubtedly the peerless Prodigies of the era, existing like Sons of the Era.
However, such figures are often born amidst calamities.
Lu Qing suspected that although this test was not directly related to the Son of the Era, he thought of the vacant Dao Sect Envoy position, because the Qi on these Dharma Treasures was also closely related to the Sect's Qi.
Only now did Lu Qing begin to understand this test, as he had never considered this aspect before, also because he genuinely believed it was impossible.
The Dao Sect Envoy could be promoted from the Dao Sect's True Inheritances, but why had there been no news of a Dao Child appearing in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect for a long time? Lu Qing also suspected it was related to the three Dharma Treasures before him.
His mind worked very quickly. A trace of distracting thought stirred gently, then quickly returned to its usual calm state.
"Thank you for the kindness of all Seniors, but this disciple already has an idea: I wish to refine a Dao Seal Dharma Treasure."
Facing these sentient Dharma Treasures, any concealment or evasive words would clearly be nothing more than a disguise.
Lu Qing was not particularly moved. It sounded like a good thing that fell from the sky, allowing him to choose freely.
It was also the reward he should receive after completing the task, but this fated opportunity made Lu Qing's scalp tingle a bit, as any one of these Dharma Treasures involved countless Karma and karmic connections behind it.
Profound Heaven Mirror heard Lu Qing say this, "Oh, oh, so you want to refine your own Dao-achieving Dharma Treasure."
"You junior, your ambition is quite high. A Dao Seal Dharma Treasure is not that easy to refine."
The voice of the Profound Heaven Bell next to it was like a grand bell, exuding the peacefulness of an elder.
"However, since you have your own plans, and you have entered here, you cannot return empty-handed. How about this, take these spiritual Dao Rhymes back. They can be used as fuel for Artifact Refining."
As the Profound Heaven Bell's spiritual voice appeared, a golden-edged Dao Rhyme slowly drifted around, as if being drawn from this world.
It quickly condensed into a golden auspicious cloud and floated down in front of Lu Qing.
Upon hearing Lu Qing's reply, and knowing that he spoke sincerely and genuinely, without any desire for them, the spiritual Dharma Treasures around them also sighed slightly.
However, there was no expression of forcing him.
Throughout history, how many astonishingly talented, peerless Prodigies have had their own inherent pride.
This extremely young disciple, though his Qi was peaceful and his every move showed no arrogance, who is to say that his high ambition is not a manifestation of pride?
Lu Qing also expressed his answer.
He didn't expect to use other methods to refuse or accept, after all, a Dao Seal Dharma Treasure imprints one's own Dao into the Magical Artifact, and the karmic connection between it and oneself is much closer than that of a Avatar.
All the Dharma Treasures in the first layer of this treasure vault are sentient Senior Dharma Treasures. Their spirituality, Dao Rhyme, and quality are all top-tier Dharma Treasures in the world.
Even if he were to take one out and form a karmic connection, Lu Qing still felt that he was not a suitable fated person for a Magical Artifact.
After all, the Dao aura of the Dharma Treasures here was distinctly clear, and he did not feel any karmic connection appear in his spiritual platform on any of the Dharma Treasures.
Even the Xuantian Dharma Treasures were the same.
"Thank you, Senior."
"Hey, no need to be polite. Since you've said so, we old Seniors can't be stingy. I'll give you a gust of wind; it's perfect for lighting fires, fanning flames, and stoking a furnace."
The treasured fan gently swayed, and an invisible spiritual wind Dao Rhyme instantly entwined a corner of Lu Qing's sleeve. With a slight tremor, Lu Qing sensed this Dao Rhyme, his gaze fell, and numerous insights flowed through his mind in an instant.
"Since you want to refine a Dao Treasure, with wind and fire, you can't do without a furnace."
The bronze furnace nodded, and a furnace shadow slowly materialized from it.
The enormous furnace shadow rapidly rotated and descended, finally transforming into an exquisite and ancient bronze furnace.
"Here, this furnace isn't great for fighting, but it's fine for Artifact Refining. After all, Dao Treasures, well, actually don't necessarily need a furnace to refine."
The bronze furnace said casually.
Lu Qing also thought of the records in ancient texts. Ancient Immortals used heaven and earth as their bronze furnace, all things and spirits could be used as fuel and fire, and numerous Dao Laws served as spiritual materials. The Magical Artifacts they refined were not mere Magical Artifacts, but Immortal Dharma Treasures that were renowned from the moment they came into being.
Such a grand undertaking, Lu Qing was unable to replicate at this moment. What Immortals could do, for Void Illumination Realm to imitate now, would be somewhat overambitious.
However, this idea also gave countless inspirations to later Artifact Refining Cultivators.
The ability to refine anything gave rise to the incredibly brilliant Dao of Artifact Refining.
However, this approach also had limitations. If truly everything could be refined, it would be no different from the Demonic Path. One must know that Earth Veins and Spiritual Veins, these foundations of heaven and earth, are rarely touched by Cultivators, lest they incur divine wrath.
"With wind, fire, and a furnace, hmm, then I'll give you some insights on time. It's an old Artifact Refining master's insights. Reading it might give you some inspiration."
Lu Qing's expression subtly changed, "Thank you, Senior."
He knew that the other party had seen his Dao Rhyme emanating, but in the Dao of Artifact Refining, he was still merely dabbling.
At this level, to refine a Dao Treasure to his liking, he still needed much more practice.
Lu Qing collected all the intentions.
At the entrance, a Purple Light Thunder Dragon was still waiting.
Time had lost its meaning for it; no amount of time could flow past its lingering soul, which relied on the Chen Palace.
"This kid, a month has passed, why hasn't he chosen and come out yet?"
"Could it be that he hasn't passed the tests of the Dharma Treasures inside?"
"But that shouldn't be the case. As long as he doesn't choose something too difficult, in that area to the East, given his Comprehension and talent, he should be able to pass the test, no matter how you look at it?"
"No, wait, or is this kid arrogant and wants to try to challenge the Xuantian Dharma Treasure's test?"
A series of distracting thoughts emerged.
