I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 454

Chapter 454: The Ancient Truth, the Whereabouts of the Demon Race
Upon hearing Lu Qing declare that he had completed comprehending the [Han Bing Zhen Lu], Han Lingshuang was stunned, filled with shock.
It had only been a short while since she’d brought the inheritance jade scroll.
Only a quarter of an hour or two had passed, and yet Lu Qing had already claimed to have comprehended the [Han Bing Zhen Lu].
You have to remember, this is a soul-level technique capable of reaching the Soul Realm!
Even a soul-level technique could be comprehended so quickly. Only
then did Han Lingshuang truly understand why, so soon after the rebirth of the universe, Lu Qing had already reached such an unfathomable realm.
His comprehension and cultivation aptitude were truly beyond measure!
“Palace Master, this inheritance from your Hanshui Palace has given me much inspiration. Here’s a technique that might be of some use to you. Take it.” At
this moment, Lu Qing produced a jade slip and handed it over.
“Your Excellency, your kindness to our Hanshui Palace is already great enough. How could I possibly accept such a generous gift?”
Han Lingshuang was stunned, then shook her head in refusal.
“I don’t like taking advantage of others,” Lu Qing said calmly. “Although I rescued your Hanshui Palace once, the previous meal and the Fire Spirit Pearl were more than enough compensation.
I won’t give you this Soul Realm technique for free. Take it.”
Han Lingshuang heard the insistence in Lu Qing’s words. She hesitated for a moment, then finally accepted the inheritance jade slip.
Lu Qing smiled at this. “Palace Master, the technique contained in the jade slip is a water-oriented technique, but it can only be cultivated to the Golden Core Perfection Realm.
Its origins are not simple; it is one of the core inheritances of a powerful immortal sect in a certain vast world.
The various explanations of the Golden Core Realm within it should be quite beneficial to your future cultivation.”
Indeed, the technique Lu Qing had given was one he had seized from the gray-robed man and his fellow apprentice.
Aside from its lower cultivation limit, which was not as high as the [Hanbing Zhenlu], its sophistication surpassed it.
“Some great world…”
Han Lingshuang was puzzled at first, but then, as if remembering something, a look of shock crossed her face.
“Your Majesty, the outside world is saying that the two mysterious and powerful individuals who suddenly appeared in Zhongzhou were visitors from outer space. Could it be…”
“Yes, they are indeed from outer space, cultivators from another world.
And that world is far more powerful than ours
. But don’t worry, that world is incomparably far away from us.
Those two only stumbled upon our world by chance.”
Lu Qing nodded,
not minding sharing this information with Han Lingshuang.
“So other worlds really do exist,” Han Lingshuang murmured. “Doesn’t that mean our ancestors weren’t hopeless when they left this world?”
Lu Qing’s heart stirred, and he remembered what “Yan” had said about the end of the last era of immortal cultivation.
He asked, “Palace Master, does your Hanshui Palace have any records of what happened at the end of the last era of immortal cultivation?
Where did those leading immortal sects ultimately go? And how did your four secret sites come to be?”
Han Lingshuang was stunned, seemingly unprepared for Lu Qing’s sudden question.
She thought for a moment, then said, “Our ancestors did have records of events from the end of the last era of immortal cultivation.”
Lu Qing’s expression shifted, and the “flame” within the Lihuo Cauldron perked up even more, a look of listening intent.
At the end of the last era of immortal cultivation, the Lihuo Sect and its bitter rival, deliberately instigated by other forces, erupted in battle.
Even the clash of true flames reached a mortal frenzy, reaching a deadly standoff.
Ultimately, the entire Lihuo Sect was destroyed, and the rival sects were severely weakened, nearly crumbling.
Only the Young Sect Master, protected by several desperate elders, escaped with the severely damaged Lihuo Cauldron and took refuge in a secret Lihuo Sect stronghold.
But the young master ultimately died in that secret stronghold due to his incurable injuries.
“Yan” himself almost lost his true spirit and was forced to fall into a deep sleep.
This left him unaware of the final developments in the cultivation world during the previous era of immortal cultivation
, or the final outcome of the hostile forces that destroyed the Lihuo Sect.
“According to the records handed down from our ancestors in Hanshui Palace, the end of the previous era of immortal cultivation was extremely chaotic.
Many immortal sects fought each other to compete for a place on the Boundary Breaking Ark.
Many sects were destroyed as a result.”
“A place on the Boundary Breaking Ark?” Lu Qing keenly grasped the word.
“That’s right.” Han Lingshuang nodded. “At the end of the last era of immortal cultivation, in order to avoid the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, many powerful Yuanshen in the cultivation world discussed and came up with a solution.
That was to pool the resources of the entire cultivation world to refine a super spiritual flying boat that could break through the boundary wall and cross the starry sky.
With the joint efforts of many powerful people and many immortal sects, the boundary-breaking boat was successfully refined.
But with it, another problem arose.
Who is qualified to board the boundary-breaking boat?”
“Although the boundary-breaking boat is an ultra-large spiritual weapon, its space is still limited and it cannot carry all practitioners out of this world.
Therefore, the quota to board the boundary-breaking boat has become extremely precious.
No one is willing to give up such an opportunity. After all, it represents the hope of survival.
Just like that, with tacit understanding and the tacit approval of many powerful Yuanshen, many immortal sects started a war.
Only the winning sect is qualified to board the boundary-breaking boat.
” In any case, according to the records of my Hanshui Palace, the final great melee in the cultivation world was extremely tragic.
Nearly half of the immortal sects were destroyed.
Those who won the battle boarded the boundary-breaking flying boat and eventually broke through the boundary and left.”
“As for our four secret places, our ancestors believed that the vast starry sky was unpredictable and they didn’t know if they could find a way out.
Therefore, they ultimately selected some disciples with less advanced cultivation and used spiritual tools to establish a secret realm, giving them a place to stay.
Even if they ultimately failed, they left a little legacy for this world. “
After listening to Han Lingshuang’s story, Lu Qing finally knew what happened at the end of the last era of cultivating immortals.
And the reasons why many immortal sects disappeared.
It turned out that they had left this world on a spiritual flying boat.
In this way, some of the doubts in his heart could be solved.
And the “flame” in the Lihuo Ding also suddenly became clear.
No wonder the conflict between the Lihuo Sect and the hostile sect was suddenly intensified.
Obviously, the powerful souls behind the scenes had already calculated it.
They wanted to eliminate some of the sects first, so as to plunder materials and refine flying boats.
As for why the Lihuo Sect was chosen, it could also guess the reason.
It was probably because the Lihuo Sect was relatively rich, but there was no powerful soul in charge at the time.
“Young Master, ask her if the Yintian Sect finally boarded the ship that broke the boundary? “
Yan” suddenly spoke.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized that this Yintian Sect should be the sect that fought with the Lihuo Sect.
After hearing Lu Qing’s question, Han Lingshuang thought about it and shook his head:
“According to the records of my Hanshui Palace, there was no Yintian Sect among the sects that finally boarded the Breaking World Boat and left.”
After hearing this, “Yan” fell into silence.
In fact, after listening to Han Lingshuang’s description just now, it had already expected it.
When the Lihuo Sect and the Yintian Sect fought, the Lihuo Sect was certainly defeated and was eventually destroyed.
But the Yintian Sect was certainly not in a good situation either. Most of its powerful members were killed or injured, and its spiritual treasure was severely damaged by the attack.
Under such circumstances, they would definitely not survive the final sect war. Their
ultimate defeat was understandable.
However, despite knowing that the Yintian Sect ultimately suffered a disastrous fate, “Yan” wasn’t particularly happy.
He knew that both the Lihuo Sect and the Yintian Sect were likely mere pawns in the schemes of the powerful Yuanshen behind the scenes.
Lu Qing sensed “Yan’s” silence and perhaps understood its feelings.
However, he didn’t say anything, instead inquiring of Han Lingshuang.
“What about the Divine Talisman Sect? Did they board the Boundary Breaking Ship?
And what happened to the Demon Clan and the Sea Clan?”
Han Lingshuang gave Lu Qing a quizzical look.
She found the Supreme Venerable rather strange. He
knew very little about the ancient era of immortal cultivation, yet he seemed to possess a deep understanding of certain sects, even being able to accurately name them.
Despite her inner wonder, she didn’t show it. Instead, she thought for a moment and
said, “The Divine Talisman Sect was naturally on the Boundary Breaking Boat. According to records, this sect is extremely powerful.
Although its disciples are scarce compared to other sects,
each one is a gifted and exceptionally powerful person.
In particular, the Divine Talisman Sect was rumored to have two masters at the Yuan Shen realm.
Such a powerful sect was naturally qualified to board the Boundary Breaking Boat.
Even according to our ancestors’ records, the Divine Talisman Sect didn’t even participate in the sect war at the time and was directly qualified to board the boat.”
“As for the demon clan and the sea clan, both of these clans are very mysterious.
Rumor has it that when the catastrophe was about to strike, the demon clan leaders, along with many great demons, disappeared overnight.
The sea clan, however, is located in the deep sea, beyond the reach of us human cultivators.
Therefore, no one knows what happened to them in the end.”
The demon clan finally disappeared?
Lu Qing heard this and secretly took note.
The reason he asked this was naturally because of Xiao Li.
According to Yan, Xiao Li’s parents were likely high-ranking members of the demon race.
If the demon race, like the high-ranking human cultivators, ultimately chose to leave this world,
then Xiao Li’s parents might not have truly perished.
“Shangzun, you just said that there are truly other worlds beyond the heavens?”
Han Lingshuang inquired.
“Of course they are true. Not only do other worlds exist, but they are as vast as the sea of smoke.
However, those worlds are extremely far away from ours.
Even a powerful Yuanshen, relying solely on one’s own cultivation without the aid of magical tools, would likely take hundreds of years to reach the next world,”
Lu Qing replied.
He wasn’t lying.
After slaying the gray-robed man, he had obtained a star map from his storage bag.
From that map, he learned that his current world was located in a dark, desolate region.
Even the map itself was uncharted territory.
The distance to the nearest world, the vast starry sky, was difficult to describe.
Not to mention the numerous unknown, dark regions they would have to cross.
This was presumably why, in the previous era of immortal cultivation, those powerful Yuanshen masters sought to forge the Boundary-Breaking Boat.
Without the guidance of a star map, even a powerful
Yuanshen master would be helpless and filled with despair in the face of the vast darkness of the starry sky. “Even a powerful Yuanshen master would need hundreds of years to travel?”
Han Lingshuang was stunned upon hearing this.
She was currently only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and it was uncertain whether she could successfully break through and enter the Golden Core realm.
Therefore, she couldn’t imagine the sheer length of distance.
At the same time, she finally understood why her ancestors had vanished, never to return.
With such a vast distance, even if they had finally found a place to settle,
no one would have been willing to waste so much time crossing the vast starry sky to return.
“Well, so you don’t have to worry about any problems with your comprehending and practicing the technique I gave you.
The sect that holds that technique is in an incredibly distant world, and it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever come to our world again.”
Lu Qing knew this from the markings on the star map he had obtained.
The gray-robed man and his fellow disciples had come here
due to a chance encounter and the magical power of the Void Flying Boat.
Their sect, however, was in a vast world called “Tianyuan.”
That world was incredibly far from here.
The cost of the spirit stones required to travel here, even on the teleportation array, would be a considerable sum.
Let’s not even talk about whether the gray-robed man’s sect could calculate their fate.
Even if they could, Lu Qing doubted they would expend so many resources to travel to such an unknown land just for two Jindan-level disciples.
“Lingshuang, remember the Supreme Master’s teachings.”
Han Lingshuang, upon hearing Lu Qing mention the technique contained in the inheritance jade slip in her hand again, immediately realized its importance.
She subconsciously tightened her grip and responded solemnly.
Seeing her serious look, Lu Qing smiled.
The reason why he gave Han Lingshuang this opportunity was because he admired this woman very much.
Especially before, she was willing to accept Li Changbo’s challenge for the sake of the citizens of Hanshui City, which made Lu Qing look at her with a higher regard.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, that was a very stupid behavior.
At least even Lu Qing himself could not sacrifice himself for others.
But this did not prevent him from admiring such character.
So he was willing to give a profound Jindan realm inheritance to help Han Lingshuang to break through better.
Lu Qing gained a lot from this trip to Hanshui Palace.
However, it was time to leave.
Immediately, he said to Han Lingshuang: “Palace Master, since the matter here has been concluded, it is time for me to say goodbye.”
