I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 457

Chapter 457: Spiritual Vein Treasure Land, Reflections from All Sides, and the First Saint’s Determination

Lu Qing was also somewhat shocked by the scene before him.

The spacious cavern was ablaze with light, with tiny specks of jade dotting the walls.

The entire chamber resembled a starry sky, a truly magnificent sight.

The spiritual energy within the cavern was incredibly rich, far more intense than even the jade-like caverns within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

“Is this the Spiritual Vein? No wonder Li Changbo was able to reach the Golden Core Realm in such a short time with just a single Essence Fire Pearl.

With such a precious land, it’s hard not to see his cultivation soar!”

Lu Qing exclaimed in amazement.

He also lamented Li Changbo’s foolishness.

With such a precious Spiritual Vein, he hadn’t utilized it to cultivate and increase his strength, instead insisting on showing off his might in Hanshui City and encountering him.

It was obvious that his resentment was too deep, and once he gained immense power, he couldn’t help but seek revenge.

He wondered what kind of humiliation Hanshui Palace had inflicted on him that made him unwilling to endure even a moment longer.

Of course, this was naturally a good thing for Lu Qing.

If Li Changbo hadn’t lost his patience, he wouldn’t have been able to find this spiritual vein.

“Such a rich spiritual aura…”

Xiao Li was completely stunned.

He had been to the Jade Transformation Cavern with Lu Qing many times and knew that mystical place was rich in spiritual energy.

But compared to this place, the spiritual energy in the Jade Transformation Cavern was nothing special.

As for Wu Xing, he had now completely emerged from Xiao Yan’s hood and was wandering excitedly through the cavern.

The spiritual aura here was even richer than the secret realm where he was born.

After a while, Lu Qing calmed down a bit and began to focus his attention on the scattered jade stones on the cave wall.

At first glance, he thought they were all spiritual stones.

But when he removed one of the jade stones and examined it carefully, he realized he was wrong.

These jade stones could indeed be called “spiritual stones.”

However, the vast majority were still spiritual stones that hadn’t fully formed.

While the spiritual aura concentration was higher than that in the cave, it still didn’t reach the most basic, low-grade spiritual stones.

After realizing this, Lu Qing finally calmed down.

He smiled. Sure enough, he’d been overthinking things.

How could such a large cave be filled entirely with spirit stones?

If spirit stones were truly so easy to cultivate, wouldn’t they have been treasured and considered a strategic resource in the ancient times of immortal cultivation?

Of course, while most of the jade in the cave hadn’t yet been nurtured and transformed into true spirit stones,

the value of this cave was still immeasurable.

The rich spiritual energy within the cave alone was enough to drive even a Jindan realm expert mad with fervor.

“Ah Qing, Ah Qing, are we going to practice here?”

Xiao Li asked, his eyes sparkling.

“Yes, it’s so rare to find such a precious place, so naturally we should retreat and practice.” Lu Qing nodded.

“That’s great!”

Xiao Li exclaimed.

Normally rather lazy about cultivation, he couldn’t help but feel the intensity of the spiritual energy here, eager to practice.

“But besides practicing, you must also help me select and excavate the spirit stones in this cave.”

Xiao Li and Wu Xing were no ordinary spirit beasts.

Their sensory abilities were exceptionally strong.

Xiao Li, in particular, was a renowned treasure hunter during the ancient era of immortal cultivation. Their sensitivity to treasure was far greater than that of human cultivators.   Furthermore, Xiao Li and his companions were also physically strong, so excavating spirit stones wouldn’t be easy.

”   Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it!” Xiao Li readily agreed.   He knew Lu Qing desperately needed spirit stones; he had recently heard him lamenting that they were completely insufficient.   ”Alright, then, let’s spend the next few days in seclusion here,”   Lu Qing smiled, feeling the rich spiritual energy in the cave, his heart aching.   He could sense that he had a good chance of achieving the first stage of the Golden Core stage.   And so, Lu Qing stopped his travels and settled down at this spiritual vein.   Anyway, his Qiankun Yiqi bag has always been filled with a large amount of daily necessities, so there is no need to go out for supplies.   Not to mention that among them, even Xiaoyan, who has the weakest cultivation, is also in the small success of the Xiantian realm.   As long as you enter the state of cultivation and have the nourishment of spiritual energy, there will be no problem even if you don’t eat or drink for a long time.   Just when Lu Qing and the others were in seclusion in the spiritual vein.   After several days of fermentation, the things happening in Hanshui City finally spread slowly and were gradually known by all forces in the world.   Dongzhou, Qingyang Temple.   Several old Taoists were sitting under a huge old pine tree on the edge of the cliff, talking about something.   ”You all know what happened in Hanshui City.”   One of the old Taoists with white hair and beard said.   ”I know. I didn’t expect that an unknown leader of the Changhen Sect could cultivate to the Jindan realm so quickly. This person must have some unimaginable adventure and opportunity.” Another old Taoist said.   ”Of course there were some adventures. Without the foundation of our secret place, how could someone who could cultivate so quickly not have some adventures?   But that’s not important anymore. What’s important is that I didn’t expect that young man to actually appear in Hanshui City.”

“Yes, according to the news from the disciples within the temple, if that person hadn’t appeared in Hanshui City, Hanshui Palace would have been in danger this time.”

“Indeed, I didn’t expect that the old Palace Master of Hanshui Palace would have failed his tribulation. No wonder Hanshui Palace has been so low-key in the past two years.”

“The old Palace Master’s failure to pass the tribulation is one reason, but the most important thing is

that the changes in Hanshui Palace decades ago cost Hanshui Palace a lot of its foundation.

Almost all the older generation of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm have died.

So after the old Palace Master’s death, Hanshui Palace was left without a single person who could hold the fort.

That’s why they were almost forced into a desperate situation by that newly promoted Jindan.”

“But that person really lives up to his reputation. Even Jindan Realm cultivators are powerless against him. I don’t know how he cultivated himself.”

“The disappearance of the two mysterious masters and the disappearance of Xuankong Mountain were all said to be the work of this person,

but without actual evidence, there are still doubts.

This time, it happened in full view of the public, witnessed by hundreds of thousands of Hanshui City citizens.

It completely confirms his terrifying power.”

“The first person to transcend the tribulation since the transformation of heaven and earth, this peerless genius must be the chosen one of this era.

At least in the early stages of this immortal era, this person will be the most respected.”

“Indeed, Qingxu, remember to discipline your disciples from now on. Do not enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains at will.”

“Yes, Master.”

Several elder Taoists immediately established a rule, forbidding disciples from entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains without permission.

There was no other way; that person was simply too terrifying.

Although he had not denied the disappearance of Hanging Mountain and had even sent word through the Master of Tianji Tower to other secret places, claiming he had no ill intentions,

everyone remained skeptical.

After all, for a secret place, along with the secret realm it relied on, to completely vanish was simply too incredible.

They couldn’t imagine the level of cultivation and magical powers required to accomplish such a feat.

Furthermore, the person who accomplished all this was a young man who had only just broken through to the Xiantian realm two years ago.

Because it was so unbelievable, everyone was still in disbelief.

But this time, in front of all the citizens of Hanshui City, as well as numerous Xiantian and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, Lu Qing

effortlessly suppressed and slew a true Jindan Realm powerhouse.

This forced them to believe that Lu Qing had truly reached a level of growth beyond their reach.

For a long time to come, the entire world would likely revere him as the most respected.

Since this was already a reality, the best approach was to learn how to get along with him.

…

Zhongzhou, Holy Mountain.

Three Saint Lords sat facing each other cross-legged.

The First Saint Lord’s aura was as steady as a mountain, as thick as the earth.

Clearly, after a period of recuperation, not only had his injuries healed, but his cultivation had also been completely stabilized and even further advanced.

The Second and Third Saint Lords, sitting opposite him, also possessed powerful auras.

They exuded a sense of perfection and harmony, and occasionally, magical power emerged from them.

It was clear that they had both entered the Jindan Realm.

“Have you all received the news from your subordinates?”

After a moment’s silence, the First Saint Lord spoke in a deep voice.

“Brother, are you talking about the man in Hanshui City who killed a newly promoted Jindan realm cultivator?

That’s nothing to talk about. He even killed those two alien visitors that day.

Killing someone who had just reached the initial Jindan realm is pretty normal, isn’t it?”

The Third Saint Lord said, somewhat surprised.

“Indeed, we all felt how powerful those two alien visitors were that day.

Even now, even if the three of us joined forces, we might not be a match for that white-robed youth.

The youth’s ability to kill them must have reached an unimaginable level of skill.

Killing a newly promoted Jindan realm cultivator is far too easy.”

The Second Saint Lord nodded.

Compared to Qingyang Temple’s earlier skepticism, those at the Holy Mountain had long since confirmed it.

It was indeed Lu Qing who had killed those two incredibly powerful alien

visitors. After all, Lin Zhirui had witnessed Lu Qing’s execution.

Since the Tianji Tower was under the command of the Holy Mountain, it would naturally report this matter.

Therefore, the Second and Third Saint Lords were somewhat puzzled by their eldest brother’s specific raising of this matter.

In their view, it would be strange if that person couldn’t slay the newly promoted Jindan realm cultivator.

“I’m not talking about the person who killed the Jindan realm cultivator,” said the First Saint Lord.

“I want to draw your attention to the person who was slain.

Before the resurgence of heaven and earth, this person was just an ordinary Xiantian realm cultivator, with nothing special.

But after the spiritual energy revived, in just two or three years, his cultivation progress was able to catch up with us, achieving Jindan.

This is truly extraordinary.”

“He must have experienced some powerful adventure. Didn’t the intelligence that was passed down say that a wisp of original energy fell into Changhen Mountain that day, and it must have been obtained by Li Changbo.

So, it seems that the leader of the Changhen Sect must also be a person of extraordinary luck,”

the Second Saint Lord speculated.

“That’s what I’m trying to say,” the First Saint Lord said. “After the resurrection of heaven and earth, the world’s destiny has become more complex.

Many previously unremarkable figures may suddenly become prosperous, encountering countless opportunities and fortuitous encounters.

In a short period of time, they may wield immense power and become powerful.

But this will inevitably alter the world’s structure.

Those newly ascended masters, whether for cultivation resources or status,

will inevitably compete for their own interests.

You are well aware of the power and tactics of powerful cultivators. Countless civilians will suffer as a result.”

The Second and Third Saint Lords fell silent upon hearing this.

They knew their eldest brother was right.

Once cultivators become powerful, their desires will grow with them.

Whether it’s to compete for resources or to achieve fame, they will no longer be content to keep a low profile.

This will inevitably lead to a new round of power reshuffles.

And once these conflicts break out, the first to suffer will likely be the mortals.

After all, at a certain level of cultivation, a cultivator’s methods can easily move mountains and cut rivers.

Ordinary people would likely perish simply by being touched by the aftermath.

“Brother, didn’t we discuss this matter before the changes in heaven and earth?

This is the prevailing trend of the world. We can only observe and observe its developments, unable to defy the will of the universe,”

the Third Saint Lord said.

“Of course I understand. This is simply a trend, beyond our control.

While we cannot alter the prevailing trend, we can mitigate its drastic course.

Brothers, do you remember the aspiration we made back then?”

The Second and Third Saint Lords shuddered, recalling events from over a thousand years ago.

Back then, the three brothers, pursued by their enemies and gravely wounded, had no choice but to retreat into this sacred mountain.

To gain the approval of the sacred mountain’s spirit, they vowed to protect the geniuses and common people and maintain world stability.

Finally, he escaped death, not only recovering from his wounds but also slaying his pursuers.

He even gained numerous inheritances, embarked on the path of cultivation, and became the revered Lord of the Holy Mountain.

“Brother, we will naturally not forget the aspiration we made in the past,” the Third Saint Lord said solemnly.

The Second Saint Lord, standing beside him, remained silent, but his expression was also serious.

“Throughout this period, the Holy Mountain Spirit has never forced us to do anything,” the First Saint Lord said, “but you must also understand that if we wish to escape our cage and achieve freedom,

we must not betray our original heart or our original aspiration.

Otherwise, without clear thoughts, our cultivation will be difficult to advance, and we will

have no hope of escaping the cage in our lifetime.”

The Second and Third Saint Lords fell silent again.

After a while, the Third Saint Lord asked, “Brother, what do you wish us to do?”

“Nothing more. Now that chaos has broken out in the world, I wish to once again issue a decree in the name of the Holy Mountain.

Powerful cultivators are forbidden to engage in battle or unleash their power in human cities,”

the First Saint Lord said slowly and solemnly.

The second and third Saint Lords were shocked.

“Brother, I’m afraid this is no longer possible,” the Second Saint Lord couldn’t help but say

. “The world today is no longer the same as it was a thousand years ago. With just the three of us, I’m afraid it would be difficult to achieve what we did back then.” The Third Saint Lord’s face showed agreement.

Although he was conceited, he also knew that with the changes in the world, it would be difficult for the three of them alone to restrain those ambitious forces and those who were ready to make trouble.

“It’s naturally difficult for the three of us alone,” the First Saint Lord said, “but there are people who can do it.”
