I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 469
Chapter 469: The Talented Ones of the Sects, the Legendary Carriage
“Master, is this the Holy City?”
A crowd thronged before the Holy City’s gates, countless people stranded there.
A young man gazed at the majestic gate, exuding a certain awe, a look of disbelief on his face.
He had already been struck by the grandeur of Xuanwu City upon entering the pass. He
hadn’t expected this Holy City to be even more magnificent.
He couldn’t imagine what kind of person could live in such a vast city.
Beside him, an elderly man in plain robes also looked astonished.
This Holy City seemed even more magnificent than when he had visited it in his youth.
However, at his disciple’s exclamation, he smiled. “Yes, this is the Holy City, the most magnificent city in the world, and the center of Zhongzhou.”
“The center of Zhongzhou…”
The young man looked at the vast city before him, then at the even more vast Holy Mountain to the side, towering into the clouds, its summit invisible.
His excitement surged even more.
He felt that this trip with his master was really worth it.
Just the things he saw and heard along the way had broadened his horizons.
Now seeing this magnificent holy city, he felt that if he could settle down in such a huge city in this life, his life would not be in vain.
The old man in white robes looked at the light in his beloved disciple’s eyes and couldn’t help but smile.
His disciple had an extraordinary talent for cultivation, and his future achievements would surely far surpass those of his master.
So this time he took him out to travel, just to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge.
Otherwise, if he had been staying in that small mountain village with a short vision, it would only bury his talent and it would be difficult for him to achieve great things.
With his disciple, the old man in white robes walked into the holy city.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by a guard.
“You two, you are not allowed to enter the Holy City
at will.” “You’re not allowed into the Holy City?” the white-robed elder was surprised. “Over a hundred years ago, when I visited, the Holy City had no restrictions; people could enter and exit freely.”
“That was true before, but now that the Holy Conference is about to begin, the Holy Lord has decreed that until the conference concludes, only sects with invitations and those above the Xiantian Realm are allowed to enter the Holy City.”
The guard, seemingly accustomed to the questioning, explained with a calm demeanor.
“My master has reached the Xiantian Realm!”
The young man raised his head proudly upon hearing this.
The white-robed elder paused, then smiled and said, “My humble disciple is ignorant. Please forgive me, sir guard.”
He then understood why so many people were lingering outside the city gates.
The most powerful aura emanating from those people was only at the level of the Acquired Realm.
It turned out that they were all blocked outside the city, unable to enter the Holy City.
“You are the Xiantian Realm?”
The guard, upon hearing the young man’s words, looked at the white-robed elder.
“This old man’s aptitude is limited. After over a hundred years of cultivation, he has barely reached the realm of Xiantian perfection.”
The white-robed elder smiled faintly, releasing his previously restrained aura. A sense of Xiantian perfection permeated the surroundings.
The nearby post-natal realm warriors, sensing this Xiantian aura and a faint pressure, couldn’t help but step back slightly, looking at the elder with a touch of awe.
Although the world has changed and spiritual energy has been revived for several years,
the status of the Xiantian realm is no longer as high as it once was.
However, it is still a figure of respect for these post-natal realm warriors.
Even the guards, sensing this aura, grew more serious.
He carefully identified it and nodded. “It is indeed the Xiantian realm of perfection. According to the regulations, those who have reached the Xiantian realm of perfection can bring up to three disciples with them. You may enter.”
Watching the old man and his companions walk into the Holy City, the post-natal realm warriors outside the city gates looked at him with envy.
However, they dared not voice any dissatisfaction, for the city gate guards themselves possessed a high level of cultivation, possessing the ultimate realm of the Innate Realm.
Far from being someone they could afford to offend.
Sensing this, the young man puffed out his chest even more, a look of pride on his face.
“A man has arrived, a master of the Innate Realm. Brother Qi, can you recognize him?”
As the young man and the old man entered the city, seven or eight young figures sat in the best window seats at a nearby restaurant, watching the movements at the city gate.
Each of these young men exuded an extraordinary aura and a unique demeanor, clearly core disciples of major sects.
One of the young men, clothed in white, smiled and asked another, dressed in dark blue.
“Innate Realm perfection, and still so old. Judging from his appearance,
if I’m not mistaken, he must be Mu Qianfeng, the [Green Mang Sword] who once terrorized the northern states over seventy years ago.
Brother Zhirui, am I correct?”
The dark-clothed young man, addressed as “Brother Qi,” spoke confidently after analyzing the situation.
The last sentence was addressed to a quiet, understated young man.
That man was none other than Lin Zhirui.
Hearing the black-robed youth’s question, Lin Zhirui glanced at the master and disciple.
Then, with a smile, he said, “Brother Qi, your vision is truly sharp. That person is indeed the [Green Mang Sword] who once garnered such renown in the northern borderlands.
I never expected him to reappear in the Holy City after years of absence.”
The intelligence held by the Tianji Tower was unparalleled.
Since Lin Zhirui said so, it must be true.
Everyone looked at the black-robed young man with a touch of admiration.
“Haha, Brother Qi is indeed well-informed and knowledgeable. You can even recognize seniors who have been in seclusion for decades. I really admire you!”
The young man in white who had asked the question first laughed.
“Brother Wang, you are too polite. I just like collecting the life stories of these senior masters. I can’t be said to be knowledgeable.”
The black-robed young man said modestly.
However, the smug look on his face could not be concealed.
At this time, another beautiful young woman spoke with some doubt,
“I’ve also heard the name of this Mu Qianfeng from the elders within the sect.
Decades ago, he was a prominent figure, rumored to have reached the peak of the Xiantian realm.
Now, so many years have passed, and even the spiritual energy has been revived for several years, yet he’s only just reached the peak of the Xiantian realm. It’s strange.”
“I know a little about this,” the black-robed young man said. “It’s rumored that before he disappeared, he clashed with the Tiancang Sect in the northern border.
He ultimately fought several of the Tiancang Sect’s supreme elders, killing two of them, but he himself was seriously injured and fled, never to be seen again.
I imagine that the battle must have damaged his foundation, and after all these years, he hasn’t made much progress.”
“The Tiancang Sect? Didn’t the Tiancang Sect arrive in the Holy City three days ago? How
dare this person show up again? Isn’t he afraid that the Tiancang Sect will cause trouble for him?”
someone asked in surprise.
“That’s hard to say. Perhaps he feels that with the Holy Conference approaching and all the forces of the world gathered, the Tiancang Sect won’t dare to act rashly,” the black-robed young man said.
Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Especially since the Holy Mountain’s intention in convening this Holy Assembly was very clear: to restore order and maintain stability in a world now riven by chaos.
Whether or not it could ultimately be accomplished, given the current situation, the Tiancang Sect wouldn’t dare to be the first to intervene.
“Speaking of this Holy Assembly, most of the sects and powers that should have arrived have already arrived.
Senior Brother Qi, what do you think will be the final outcome of this Holy Assembly?
Can the Saint Masters’ vision be realized?”
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly asked.
The others fell silent.
No one had expected this woman to dare ask such a question.
Even the young man in black was stunned,
but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, “Junior Sister Liu, you’re joking. How could I possibly predict the world’s current situation?”
“Is that so? However, I think the Saint Masters’ vision is unlikely to be realized.
This isn’t a thousand years ago. The world’s situation has changed.
The Saint Masters’ ability to control the situation is likely to be impotent.”
The beautiful woman spoke eloquently, her words shocking everyone, who stared at her in astonishment.
No one could have imagined that the woman would be so bold as to criticize the Holy Lord in public.
Many people even glanced at Lin Zhirui inconspicuously.
Everyone knew the relationship between Tianji Tower and the Holy Mountain. They
didn’t know how the Holy Lord would react when the woman criticized him like this.
However, what surprised them was that Lin Zhirui looked normal, without any reaction, as if he hadn’t heard what the beautiful woman said.
Such an attitude made everyone stunned again.
Those who were quick-witted couldn’t help but think more.
The beautiful woman was a core disciple of Guiyuan Sect, one of the largest sects in Zhongzhou.
To a certain extent, she could also represent the attitude of Guiyuan Sect.
Did her words just now reveal some kind of will of Guiyuan Sect?
Just as the restaurant fell into a strange silence.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the city gate.
“What handsome unicorn horses!”
“What powerful faction is this, using such exotic beasts to pull a carriage?”
“Why do I sense the aura of these two dragon horses is far more powerful than ours?”
“No, I think I’ve heard of this carriage before!”
…
The sudden commotion shattered the silence of the diners.
They involuntarily looked toward the city gate.
Then, their eyes widened.
They saw a massive carriage parked at the gate.
Engraved with mysterious patterns, it looked incredibly mysterious.
Most striking were the two towering, snow-white horses at the front, their pointed horns protruding from their heads.
The aura emanating from these two magnificent horses was so powerful it rivaled even that of a Xiantian Realm expert.
“Xiantian-level exotic dragon horses?”
The diners, all core disciples of Zhongzhou’s leading sects, naturally possessed a keen eye.
They instantly recognized the extraordinary qualities of these two exceptional steeds.
They were actually two dragon horses, exotic beasts that had reached the Xiantian realm!
“Which sect owns this carriage?
They’re actually using Xiantian-level beasts to pull it?” The talented young people in the restaurant were suddenly shocked.
After all, although the world has been revived for several years, and the spiritual energy has nourished many exotic beasts and spirit beasts,
those that have reached the Xiantian realm are still extremely rare and difficult to capture and tame.
At least, their sect wasn’t arrogant enough to employ Xiantian-level dragon horses to pull a carriage.
For a moment, everyone instinctively wanted to check on the carriage.
However, just as their minds were released to sense the situation within,
their spiritual power, upon contact with the carriage, suddenly felt a sharp, piercing pain within their minds.
Everyone groaned involuntarily.
The spiritual power they had released, like a snake bite, quickly retracted into the acupoint between their eyebrows. Their faces turned pale, and they stared at the carriage in horror.
Clearly, the carriage had been refined by a master, capable of not only defending against spiritual detection but even counterattacks!
“Wait a minute, this carriage, and those two exotic dragon horses—why do I feel like I’ve heard of them somewhere?”
At this moment, the black-robed young man’s expression suddenly changed, as if
he were trying to recall something. But before he could fully grasp his thoughts, a figure emerged from the carriage.
It was a middle-aged man of ordinary appearance, somewhat thin in build.
His aura wasn’t powerful, having barely entered the Xiantian realm.
But what he held in his hands shocked everyone.
It was a golden invitation.
An invitation from the Holy Mountain!
Everyone in the restaurant instantly recognized the invitation’s origins
, further confirming the carriage’s extraordinary background. Those
who could receive an invitation from the Holy Mountain were all renowned forces in the world.
However, they still didn’t know which faction it was.
Just as everyone was in a state of confusion, a figure leaped down from their midst.
Landing on the street, he walked towards the city gate.
“Brother Zhirui!”
Everyone looked and saw that it was Lin Zhirui.
Then they saw that Lin Zhirui walked all the way to the city gate, first exchanging greetings with the middle-aged man holding the golden invitation.
Then he gave instructions to the guards and led the mysterious carriage into the city.
Seeing Lin Zhirui and the middle-aged man leading the horses chatting happily and looking very familiar,
everyone in the restaurant was confused.
It was obvious that Lin Zhirui and the carriage’s owner must be acquainted.
At this moment, the young man in black clothes, who had been pondering, looked at the two exotic dragon horses and finally had a flash of inspiration.
He couldn’t help but exclaimed, “I remember, this is the legendary carriage!”
“What legendary carriage, Brother Qi, what are you talking about?”
Everyone in the restaurant was about to question Lin Zhirui, but they were all stunned by the young man’s sudden exclamation.
However, the young man in black clothes just stared at the carriage closely,
muttering, “It can’t be wrong. White-horned dragon horse, wind-controlling carriage, this is the carriage that the man rode when he first came to Zhongzhou!”
