I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 459

Chapter 459 Returning to the Village, Giving Treasures, and the World in Chaos

A black vortex suddenly appeared above Jiuli Village.

Immediately afterwards, a tattered silver flying boat emerged from it.

Lu Qing carried Xiaoyan out of the flying boat and then stowed it away.

His aura fluctuated slightly.

In this world, there are speed limits. Once a flight approaches the upper limit, the will of the Heavenly Dao will issue a warning.

However, there are no such restrictions for traveling through the void.

However, using a void flying boat to travel through the void consumes too much mana.

Even though Lu Qing’s cultivation has recently increased significantly, reaching the perfection of the first turn of the Golden Core stage, he still finds it difficult to perform the operation.

“Brother, are we back to Jiuli Village now?”

Xiaoyan looked at the familiar village below, a little stunned.

Xiaoli and Wuxing were similarly stunned.

One moment, they were still in a place where they didn’t know how many states were separated, and the next, they were back in Jiuli Village.

Tens of thousands of miles, crossed in the blink of an eye.

This speed was too terrifying.

None of the three little ones had ever ridden a void flying boat, let alone experienced the benefits of void travel.

For a moment, they were naturally extremely surprised.

“Well, this is the work of the magic weapon. Let’s go back to the village first.”

Lu Qing explained vaguely.

He released his mind and sensed the aura of the master in the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

The village was also peaceful and there was no chaos.

He felt relieved, knowing that the thing he was afraid of did not happen. He

immediately took Xiaoyan and the others and landed in the village.

As soon as they landed in the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, they saw the master coming out of the house.

With a smile on his face, he said, “I guess it’s about time for you to come back.”

“Grandpa Chen!”

Xiaoyan hadn’t seen the old doctor for more than half a year, and immediately ran up to act coquettishly.

Lu Qing’s face was filled with shame. “Master, please forgive me. I’ve been in seclusion the entire time and haven’t had time to check the jade talisman. It wasn’t until I emerged today that I realized you sent me a message.”

“Only emerging today? So you’re back now…”

The old doctor was shocked. When Lu Qing sent him the message six months ago, he knew he’d be in seclusion in Changhen Mountain, many states away.

If he’d emerged today, how could he have already returned to Jiuli Village?

“I have a magical weapon that can travel through the void, covering vast distances in an instant. However, activating it consumes a lot of mana, so it’s not easy to use often,” Lu Qing explained.

“Such a miraculous magical weapon!”

The old doctor was amazed.

No wonder Lu Qing had said, when he’d set out, that if anything happened, just send him a message and he’d be back quickly.

He’d assumed it would take at least several days. He hadn’t expected Lu Qing

to be so quick.

With such a magical weapon, the world would truly be vast, accessible to any place at will.

“Master, you said in the jade talisman you were preparing to transcend the tribulation?” Lu Qing asked.

“Yes, it should be within the next few days,” the old doctor nodded. “I can sense that the opportunity for a breakthrough is growing stronger. It’s almost time.”

“Thankfully, I made it back in time to protect you, Master.”

Lu Qing felt relieved and pulled out two precious beads, one white and one red, from his Qiankun Yiqi bag.

“Master, your tribulation is imminent, and there’s not much I can do.

During my trip, I stumbled upon these two precious beads, one water and one fire, magical artifacts perfect for your cultivation of the water and fire principles.

After you refine them, they should enhance your foundation and help you overcome the tribulation.”

Lu Qing pulled out the Wanfa Pearl, the ultimate water-based treasure, and the Jinghuo Pearl.

“These two magical artifacts…”

The old doctor felt a surge of excitement at the sight of the two beads, and even the spiritual energy within him began to stir.

He immediately understood that refining these two orbs would be of immense benefit to him.

“It seems Master and these two magical treasures are truly connected.”

Lu Qing, naturally sensing the fluctuations in Master’s aura, smiled and handed the two orbs to Master.

“Master, these two magical treasures—the white Wanfa Pearl is a top-grade water-based artifact, and the red one is a top-grade fire-based artifact.

Their rank and primary functions are unequal.

After you refine them, Master, I’m afraid you’ll need to slowly refine and polish them before transforming them into the most suitable magical treasures for you.”

The Wanfa Pearl and the Jinghuo Pearl weren’t equal magical treasures; their functions and ranks varied.

Fortunately, both were rare, pure water- and fire-based magical treasures, perfectly suited to Master’s principles of water and fire, and could be refined.

Originally, Lu Qing had intended to use the Lihuo Cauldron to refine and condition them before giving them to Master.

However, Master was about to face a tribulation, and the protection of a magical treasure would help him better survive it.

So, he gave them away ahead of time.

Fortunately, powerful magical weapons, if properly nurtured and refined, can gradually grow stronger with their owner’s cultivation.

Once Master successfully transcends the tribulation and achieves the Golden Core, he’ll have plenty of time to nurture and refine these two magical weapons into the perfect fit for him.

Another advantage is that the magical weapons he personally nurtures and refines will become even more in tune with his own nature.

It’s easier to achieve true spiritual and mental harmony, a state of unwavering control.

“A supreme-grade and a superior-grade magical weapon…”

The old doctor, holding the two precious beads, was immediately shocked by what he heard.

He naturally knew that once a magic weapon reached the level of a treasure, it was truly priceless.

However, the old doctor did not say much, but quietly put the two precious beads away.

For the master and disciple, many things no longer needed to be explained.

“By the way, Master, you said that a few months ago, the senior master of Tianji Tower came to see me for something important. What was it?”

Lu Qing asked after seeing the master put away the magic weapon.

“This matter is indeed very important.” The old doctor’s expression became serious after hearing this.

“Last time, Senior Master Tianji came here at the behest of the three Holy Lords of the Holy Mountain.

It’s said that the three Holy Lords, seeing the chaos sweeping the world, wanted to re-establish rules and issue bans.

However, they felt that with so many talented people emerging and so many heroes rising up,

the three of them alone could no longer convince the world to accept the ban.

So, they wanted to ask you to come forward and seek stability for the people of the world.”

Master Tianji knew the old doctor’s character, and even more so, he knew Lu Qing’s respect for this master.

So, when he came here, he didn’t hide his purpose.

On the contrary, he told the old doctor the intentions of the three Holy Lords in great sincerity and detail,

hoping that this kind and benevolent old man could help persuade Lu Qing.

“The three Holy Lords want me to come forward and help formulate a ban?”

This time, Lu Qing was really surprised.

He had never imagined that the Lord of Tianji Tower would come for such a matter.

For a moment, he fell silent.

“Ah Qing, this matter is of no small importance. You must consider it carefully.

If you are not careful, you may become the enemy of the world.

If it is impossible, it is better to refuse the three Holy Lords.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s silence, the old doctor advised.

Although the old doctor believed that what the Holy Lords were going to do, if successful, would indeed benefit the people of the world,

in his heart, Lu Qing’s safety was equally important.

If he was not sure, he did not want Lu Qing to endure such a storm.

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked, “Master, I’ve been in seclusion recently, and I don’t know much about what’s happened in the past six months. Is it very chaotic outside now?”

The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, “It seems quite chaotic. Our Cangzhou is fine. It’s located in a remote area, and with you here, the Yan Kingdom also takes care of us, so there hasn’t been any trouble.

But I heard Zhirui and the head of the Wei family talking a while ago. They said that in the past two years, many geniuses have emerged in the world with astonishing cultivation talents.

There are also many old-generation masters who were once hindered by the rules of heaven and earth and stagnated in their cultivation. They have broken through and entered a whole new realm.

Especially in the past six months, there have been many places where strange phenomena of heavenly tribulations have appeared.

I think there must be a master who is going through the tribulation of the golden elixir.

Many heroes have emerged, and powerful men have emerged. You should also know that disputes are inevitable.

If that were all, it would not be too bad, after all, it is just a fight between cultivators.

However, some cultivators have broken through the realm and become stronger, and their mentality has also become inflated.

I heard Zhirui say that not long ago, two sects in Qiaozhou fought for a sacred land.

As a result, the respective Supreme Elders of the Foundation Establishment Realm did not know the severity of the attack and directly clashed in a city, causing heavy casualties to the citizens there.

On the border of Quanzhou, two counties and kingdoms went to war, directly dragging the people of both countries into dire straits… “

Listening to the master talking about the recent events in the world one by one,

Lu Qing finally understood that the situation in the world had changed so quickly during the six months he was in seclusion.

Although he could feel the undercurrent surging during the months he took Xiaoyan on a trip, it was not so bad.

He thought for a moment and said, “Master, let’s put these matters aside for now. The most important thing right now is your tribulation.

We’ll make a decision after you’ve overcome it.”

“Very well, since you’ve just returned, this is a good time to think things over carefully before making a decision,” the old doctor nodded.

The master and disciple chatted for a while longer, primarily Lu Qing recounting his experiences from his trip.

Xiaoyan occasionally chirped in, adding to the conversation.

The old doctor then realized just how much Lu Qing and his companions had experienced during their journey.

After Lu Qing recounted his experiences, he led Xiaoyan away from the mountainside courtyard. This

allowed the master to refine the two precious beads and accumulate knowledge in preparation for the upcoming tribulation.

On their way home, they were seen by the villagers, causing another uproar.

After all, Lu Qing and Xiaoyan’s absence had been quite a while, nearly a year.

During this time, many villagers, worried, had repeatedly come to the mountainside courtyard to inquire about the old doctor’s progress.

Fortunately, the old doctor repeatedly assured them that Lu Qing and his companions were merely traveling and safe, and nothing had happened.

This eased the villagers’ worries.

Now that they finally saw Lu Qing and his companions, they naturally greeted them with warm regards, questioning their absence.

The commotion even alarmed the Wei family’s annex.

By the time Lu Qing finished his explanation and returned home, several minutes had passed.

Shortly after he sat down, someone arrived to visit.

It turned out the commotion in the village had also alerted the Wei family’s annex.

Knowing Lu Qing had returned, Wei Shanhai and Wei Xinghe arrived.

After a brief exchange of greetings, they invited Lu Qing and his companions to dinner at the annex .

Lu Qing reasoned that his recent return was a good opportunity, as the fire had been out for a while, and cooking would require some cleaning.

Furthermore, Xiaoyan and Madam Wei hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so he agreed.

It was during dinner that Lu Qing learned more about the current state of affairs from Wei Shanhai and his companions.

He knew the current situation was even worse than he had anticipated.

Many sects, newly emerged masters after realm breakthroughs, and even some counties and kingdoms,

were engaged in frequent clashes to expand their influence and compete for resources.

Initially, everyone was relatively restrained.

But as the conflict escalated and disciples continued to die, anger grew.

Many factions simply turned bloodthirsty.

The people, with little ability to protect themselves, suffered the most in this process.

With the changes in the world and the resurgence of spiritual energy, many masters have broken free from their shackles and entered new realms, mastering even greater powers than before.

The number of masters in the Innate Realm and even the Foundation Establishment Realm has greatly increased.

Once these masters engage in full-scale combat, it can be a disaster for ordinary people, even low-level warriors.

A single flash of sword energy, if it lands on a crowd, can cause widespread casualties.

This also means that nowadays, once the common people hear that there is going to be a conflict between the two forces, they will flee for their lives, fearing that they will be caught in the crossfire.

But the road of escape is not so easy. Many people have experienced untold misery during the migration.

“Speaking of which, our Cangzhou, and even Yan State, is actually the most peaceful place among the surrounding counties and kingdoms.

Because of your existence, Mr. Lu, Yan State does not dare to have any bad intentions.

This also means that many people in the surrounding counties and kingdoms have fled to Yan State.

However, I received news a few days ago that the neighboring Qiu State has been making some moves recently.

It seems that they have some intentions towards Yan State and want to take action against it.”

Wei Xinghe said.

“Qiu State…” Lu Qing pondered for a moment. “The elder of the Yan family, ‘Tian Lao’, has a pretty good cultivation base and is a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Could it be that he can’t intimidate Qiu State?”

“I heard that Qiu State has a general who protects the country. Before the changes in the world, he was already a powerful cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.

After the revival of spiritual energy, his cultivation has been increasingly advanced.

Not long ago,

he also entered the Foundation Establishment stage. At the same time, an elder from the royal family of Qiu State also entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

With two powerful cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, Qiu State’s ambitions naturally grew.

They even had the idea of annexing several surrounding counties and kingdoms to strengthen themselves.”

Wei Xinghe explained.

“I see.” Lu Qing nodded. “It seems that the situation in the world has really changed dramatically during my retreat.

But if the chaos continues like this, the people of this world will probably have no way to survive.”

There was a hint of a sigh in Lu Qing’s tone.

But he had already made a decision in his heart.
