I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 466

Chapter 466: One Sword Move, Exchange

Feeling Lu Qing’s friendly attitude, the Second and Third Saint Lords breathed a sigh of relief.

At least they knew Lu Qing didn’t mind what had happened.

After all, the pressure Lu Qing in front of them had put on them was immense.

That unfathomable aura, no matter how they tried to sense it, could not discern Lu Qing’s cultivation level.

It was clear that Lu Qing’s realm had already reached a point beyond their comprehension.

“Young Daoist Fellow Lu, this place is rather humble. Why don’t you join me and the others in the cave?”

After a few polite greetings, the First Saint Lord invited.

“Then I’ll beg your pardon,” Lu Qing nodded happily.

He was also curious about the retreat of the three Saint Lords, whose power had dignified the world for millennia.

After all, the Holy Mountain, as the center of this world, held a special significance.

Even in an era of spiritual energy depletion, it had allowed three Saint Lords to break through their limits and cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage.

This was a testament to its extraordinary nature.

Now that the world has been revived for so long, this majestic mountain is likely even more mystical.

At least Lu Qing sensed that the spiritual energy atop the Holy Mountain was no less than that of the spiritual veins beneath Changhen Mountain.

Lin Zhirui, standing nearby, was even more excited.

Although he was one of the most outstanding disciples of the Tianji Tower, he had never been worthy enough to ascend the mountain alone to meet the Holy Masters,

let alone be invited into the cave where they cultivated.

Soon, led by the three Holy Masters, Lu Qing and Lin Zhirui arrived at a cave.

It wasn’t large, only slightly larger than the Jade Cavern in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

However, upon entering, Lu Qing felt a sudden jolt of energy.

The spiritual energy within the cave was incredibly dense.

Even the spiritual veins beneath Changbai Mountain pale in comparison.

Lu Qing sensed that if he could retreat here for a while, his cultivation would likely see significant improvements.

As for Lin Zhirui, it goes without saying. With his Xiantian realm cultivation, the rich spiritual energy here even gave him a feeling of suffocation.

After just a short while, he felt as if his cultivation was about to reach a breakthrough.

The First Saint Lord had been observing Lu Qing’s expression.

Seeing his surprise, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Little Daoist Lu, what do you think of this cave?”

“It truly is a sacred mountain. The rich spiritual energy of this cave is truly unique to me,” Lu Qing exclaimed sincerely.

“In that case, we would like to give this cave to Little Daoist Lu. What do you think?” The First Saint Lord continued.

“For me?”

Lu Qing was stunned at first, but then his expression gradually calmed down.

“Senior Saint Lord, no reward without merit. I’m afraid I can’t afford such a precious cave.”

The First Saint Lord remained silent this time, simply smiling at Lu Qing.

But Lu Qing understood.

“Senior Saint Lord, are you saying that as long as I agree to your proposal, this cave will belong to me?”

The First Saint Lord said, “Indeed, since it was the three of us who proposed this, we naturally cannot let you, Little Daoist Fellow Lu, suffer any loss.”

Lu Qing fell silent.

Although he had already made up his mind before coming here, he had to admit that the First Saint Lord’s proposal still made him very excited.

He now had everything he needed: cultivation techniques, realms, and magical treasures

. The only thing he lacked was sufficient spiritual energy to enhance his cultivation.

The spiritual energy in this Holy Mountain cave was even richer than the spiritual veins beneath Everlasting Regret Mountain.

For him, it was undoubtedly an excellent place for cultivation.

The three Saint Lords did not rush Lu Qing, but waited quietly, allowing him to think.

After a while, Lu Qing suddenly smiled. “Senior Saint Master, to be honest, before I came here, I had already proposed this to you and had made my decision.

Honestly, I’ve always admired you all.

For millennia, it’s the Holy Mountain that has maintained order in this world

, ensuring relative stability across all the states.

At the very least, there are fewer instances of innate masters bullying the weak and slaughtering ordinary civilians at will.

It’s no exaggeration to say your deeds are immeasurable.”

Lu Qing’s words weren’t meant as a compliment, but rather as heartfelt admiration.

The Holy Mountain’s ban on innate realm masters had indeed made a significant contribution to world stability.

At least when Wang Cangyi of the Tiancang Sect plotted to seize the Wei family’s Lihuo Cauldron, it was fear of the ban that gave the Wei family a respite.

Otherwise, not only the Wei family, but even the entire county government would have been razed to the ground.

There would have been no chance for him and his master to arrive to rescue them.

“Being recognized by Fellow Daoist Lu is a testament to all the things we three did back then.”

The three Saint Lords couldn’t help but smile when they heard Lu Qing’s praise.

If it was anyone else’s praise, they wouldn’t think anything of it.

After all, they’d been respected for millennia, and they’d heard countless more lavish compliments.

But if it was Lu Qing who was praising them, it would be different.

Being praised by this being who could be called the strongest in the world, even with their state of mind, they couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

“So, what does Fellow Daoist Lu mean…”

The First Saint Lord asked with some anticipation.

“Actually, before I came to the Holy Mountain, I had already decided to join the three seniors in contributing to the common people of this world,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

The three Saint Lords were instantly delighted upon hearing this.

“Then shall I immediately send out invitations to all the sects and forces in the world to come to the Holy City to discuss this matter?” the First Saint Lord said.

“I will leave everything to the seniors,” Lu Qing nodded.

Seeing Lu Qing’s agreement, the First Saint Lord no longer hesitated.

He immediately sent out a message.

With this message, the vast power of the Holy Mountain began to mobilize.

Numerous powerful auras departed from the foot of the mountain, heading in all directions.

Clearly, they had already made preparations before Lu Qing arrived.

Lu Qing paid no attention to this, instead looking at the Second Saint Lord.

“Senior Third Saint Lord, I have something to ask you.”

“Ask me something?”

The Third Saint Lord was stunned, completely unprepared for Lu Qing’s sudden words.

Even the First and Second Saint Lords were surprised.

For a moment, they even thought Lu Qing was going to settle old scores with the Third Saint Lord.

“Yes, this junior would like to ask, do you possess a magical spirit bead?”

“A magical spirit bead?” The Third Saint Lord was startled at first, then realized what was happening.

With a flip of his hand, a white bead suddenly appeared in his hand.

“Could it be that this golden spirit bead that Young Daoist Lu was referring to?”

As the Third Saint Lord held the white bead, a sharp aura suddenly permeated the surrounding area, piercing even the soul and skin with a faint pain.

Seeing this, Lu Qing smiled. “Yes, it is this Golden Spirit Pearl, Third Saint Lord. This Golden Spirit Pearl will be of great use to me. I wonder if you would be willing to give it to me?”

“Little Daoist Fellow Lu, do you want this Golden Spirit Pearl?”

The Third Saint Lord looked troubled. “Little Daoist Fellow Lu, to be honest,

this Golden Spirit Pearl is very compatible with my sword practice and is one of my most important magical tools. Without it, my swordsmanship strength would drop by at least 30%.”

The First and Second Saint Lords remained silent.

They also knew how important this Golden Spirit Pearl was to the Third Brother.

“I won’t let you give it up for nothing,” Lu Qing smiled. “I’m willing to trade one of your sword moves for one.”

“One sword move?”

The Third Saint Lord suddenly became interested.

As a swordsman, he was naturally very sensitive to the various sword traditions.

His Golden Spirit Pearl was a treasure comparable to a top-grade magic weapon.

Lu Qing’s offer to trade it for a sword move inheritance truly shocked and intrigued him.

What kind of sword move could Lu Qing find so valuable that it could rival a top-grade magic weapon?

“My master is a master of the sword. I’ve received his meticulous instruction and have learned some of his essential techniques.

Just recently, while visiting Qinglong Pass, I observed the Yixiantian Gorge and gained a new insight.

Combining this with my master’s sword tradition, I’ve developed a unique sword technique.

Senior, please watch!”

As soon as Lu Qing finished speaking, he formed a sword with his fingers. A stream of sword energy emanated from his fingertips and slowly pierced the Third Saint Lord. With the release of this sword energy, the expressions of   all three Saint Lords changed drastically

, except for Lin Zhirui, who remained bewildered. While   Lu Qing’s condensed sword energy wasn’t powerful   , they perceived it as terrifying.   The aura it exuded carried the power to sever everything, annihilate everything.   It pierced their very hearts and trembled.   The Third Saint Lord, facing the sword attack head-on, was especially frozen, his mind dazed.   His gaze focused solely on Lu Qing’s sword energy.   In a trance, he seemed to see a sharp and unparalleled sword energy that could cut through everything, piercing the sky and slashing towards him.   It was going to cut off everything in him, whether it was his body or his soul and will, and completely annihilate him.   Just when the Third Saint Lord thought he was doomed,   all the illusions before his eyes suddenly disappeared.   Only Lu Qing was left, looking at him with a smile, but the sword in his hand had been retracted long ago.   The terrifying sword energy had also disappeared.   ”Senior Third Saint Lord, how about this sword move of mine? Can it be exchanged for your Golden Spirit Pearl?” Lu Qing asked with a smile.   The Third Saint Lord slightly activated his internal magic power, eliminating the cold sweat that had just seeped out of his back.   Then, looking at Lu Qing solemnly, he said, “Little Daoist Lu, you said you realized this sword move on the way here?”   ”Indeed,” Lu Qing nodded. “The Yixiantian Gorge at Qinglong Pass resembles a sword scar that pierces the sky.   Earlier, while traveling from high above, I stumbled upon that gorge and was struck by a feeling.   After some contemplation, I realized this sword move.”   Yes, that was the move Lu Qing had just performed.   Lin Zhirui couldn’t help but say, “Yes, Lord Saint, when we passed Qinglong Pass earlier, Little Daoist Lu was struck by a feeling and temporarily went into seclusion.   Otherwise, we would have arrived here much sooner.” It   was actually true!   The three Saint Lords gasped.   They had long known that Lu Qing’s cultivation talent was unparalleled.   He was the first person to transcend the tribulation since the restoration of the world.   His cultivation speed was astonishingly rapid.   In just a few years, he had achieved the Golden Core realm.   Now, he was even more elusive, his status as the world’s greatest, slaying Jindan masters as effortlessly as chopping melons and vegetables.   But now, seeing Lu Qing say that the sword move he had just used was something he had realized during a brief period of seclusion upon his arrival,   the three Saint Lords remained incredulous.   The vastness and loftiness of Lu Qing’s sword move, its artistic conception, practically transcended the Jindan realm.   They had no doubt that if Lu Qing had used his full strength, even this sacred mountain would be powerless to withstand its brilliance.   Such a terrifying sword move, so   easily realized, was truly mind-boggling to the three Saint Lords.   After a long moment, the Third Saint Lord finally calmed down.   He looked at Lu Qing, a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes. “Little Daoist Fellow Lu, are you truly willing to trade this sword move for the Golden Spirit Pearl?”   His tone was a stark contrast to his earlier hesitation.   ”Of course, it depends on whether Senior Third Saint Lord is willing to part with it,” Lu Qing nodded.   ”Yes!”   The Third Saint Lord heard this and did not hesitate.   He took out the Golden Spirit Pearl and urged it with his mind. The Golden Spirit Pearl first emitted a dazzling white light, then dimmed and turned into an ordinary bead.   ”Little Daoist Lu, here, the soul mark on the Golden Spirit Pearl has been taken back by me. It belongs to you now.”   The Third Saint Lord handed the Golden Spirit Pearl to Lu Qing.   ”Third brother…”   The First and Second Saint Lords were shocked.   They did not expect that the Third Saint Lord would make the decision so straightforwardly.   But they knew how much the Third Brother cherished this Golden Spirit Pearl.   The pure gold magic weapon was really suitable for the swordsmanship he practiced.   Without this Golden Spirit Pearl, the Third Brother’s strength would not only drop by several times.

I’m afraid even my future path of cultivation will be hindered.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, I can sense that this sword technique of Fellow Daoist Lu is extremely important to me.

Perhaps, my hope of reaching the Yuan Shen realm and breaking free from my constraints lies in it!”

The Third Saint Lord stated firmly.

Upon hearing the Third Saint Lord’s words about reaching the Yuan Shen realm and breaking free from his constraints, the First and Second Saint Lords fell silent.

They didn’t cultivate the Dao of Swordsmanship. While impressed by Lu Qing’s recent sword technique, they couldn’t discern its true potential.

If its value truly lived up to the Third Brother’s claims, then exchanging it for a Golden Spirit Pearl wouldn’t be a loss.

On the contrary, it would be a huge gain!

After all, their greatest hope in their lives of cultivation was to one day reach the Yuan Shen realm and break free from the constraints of this sacred mountain.

Even if they had invited Lu Qing here this time, hoping to borrow his power and fulfill their original aspirations,

their ultimate goal was precisely this.

Now that the Third Brother had actually stated that Lu Qing’s sword technique was so important to him,

then whatever they exchanged for it would be worth it!

Looking at the Golden Spirit Orb handed over by the Third Saint Lord, Lu Qing was also somewhat surprised.

He had thought that the other party would hesitate for a while, but he didn’t expect it to be so straightforward.

It seemed that the three people trapped in this holy mountain for a thousand years had a desire for freedom that exceeded his expectations.

Without taking the Golden Spirit Orb first,

Lu Qing took out a jade slip engraved with runes from the Qiankun Qi Bag.

Then a powerful spiritual power surged, entering the jade slip and recording it.

After a while, he withdrew his spiritual power and handed the jade slip over.

“Senior Third Saint Lord, please.”
