I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 478

Chapter 478: The Heavenly Demon Bone Claw, the Holy Order is established, and the merits are bestowed upon you!

Seeing their Great Elder slain by Lu Qing with a single blow of sword energy,

the remaining Guiyuan Sect members froze in silence, no one daring to utter a word.

They weren’t angry; instead, they were filled with fear,

fearing that Lu Qing would vent his wrath and execute them as well.

Naturally, Lu Qing didn’t act that way. Instead, he glanced at the Guiyuan Sect disciples and

said calmly, “I understand your Great Elder was bewitched by that old ghost of the underworld, leading him to commit his crimes. Therefore, I’ve left his body intact. You should take it back and bury it properly.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Upon hearing this, the Guiyuan Sect disciples felt a wave of relief, their faces lit up with relief.

They all bowed to Lu Qing.

Even the Second Elder, also in the Jindan realm, was no exception.

He dared not even dare to overstep his bounds in front of Lu Qing.

Lu Qing then glanced around once more, finally gazing at the First Saint Lord.

“Senior First Saint Lord, I don’t think anyone will have any objections to this Holy Gathering. Now I leave it to you.”

With that, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky, soaring straight up into the azure sky, heading towards the Holy Mountain.

Lu Qing’s sudden departure startled and surprised everyone.

No one had expected him to leave so abruptly.

However, once they were certain Lu Qing was gone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and truly relaxed.

There was no way around it; the pressure this person had put on them was simply too great.

Even without emitting any aura, just standing there was enough to make everyone tremble with fear.

Now that he was gone, the heavy burden finally lifted.

“Everyone, may we officially begin this Holy Gathering?”

the First Saint Lord’s voice rang out.

The powerful warriors, observing the First Saint Lord’s smiling face, felt a chill in their hearts.

Previously, they had all speculated about the Holy Mountain’s purpose for holding this Holy Gathering and the underlying reason behind it.

Now they knew: these three had, in fact, invited that person.

Wasn’t there a rumor that the three Holy Lords were at odds with that person?

Now, it seems that’s not the case at all.

Far from any discord between the two parties, on the contrary, they’re clearly on good terms.

It’s unknown how the three Holy Lords managed to convince that person to be so supportive of the Holy Mountain.

But while everyone couldn’t fathom it, they knew the outcome was decided.

This Holy Assembly was completely under the control of the Holy Mountain.

As expected, no sect dared to challenge the subsequent Holy Assembly.

Everything proceeded smoothly.

Of course, the Holy Assembly was a matter of great importance, with so many implications, that it wouldn’t be completed in a short time. It

would likely take more than a few days.

That’s why Lu Qing left immediately.

He had no interest in staying there to discuss those tedious matters.

Returning to the Holy Mountain, Lu Qing retreated to his cave abode.

He’d already done what needed to be done.

The three Holy Lords were far more skilled than he was at the rest, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Lu Qing unsheathed the white bone claw, activated his supernatural powers, and gazed at it.

Before long, a rich purple color emerged from the claw.

Several notes floated out.

[Demon Bone Claw: A bone claw left behind after the death of an ancient demon.]

[Ancient demons are innate creatures born from the primordial energy at the dawn of this world’s evolution.]

[Ancient demons are naturally powerful, born at the Yuanshen realm, exceptionally strong.]

[This bone claw has been nourished for tens of thousands of years by the resentment of countless living beings, and then purified by the Southern Ming Lihuo. The resentment has been completely eliminated, returning to its original state, and a miraculous transformation has occurred.]

…

After Lu Qing read all the messages, a flash of enlightenment filled his eyes.

No wonder this bone claw was so powerful. He had initially wondered what creature’s claw could possess such power.

It turned out to be a claw left behind by an ancient demon, born at the dawn of the world’s evolution.

Lu Qing was no stranger to this ancient demon.

The demon cultivator had obtained a fragment of an ancient demon’s demon bone and had begun stirring up trouble.

He wondered if this demon bone claw and the demon bone the cultivator had obtained were from the same ancient demon.

After investigating the claw’s origins, Lu Qing placed it in his Qiankun Yiqi bag.

The claw was made of extraordinary material. After Lu Qing used the Southern Ming Lihuo to purify the restrictions within and slay the spirit within,

it transformed into a superior material for refining weapons.

With proper refinement, he might be able to acquire another powerful spiritual weapon.

However, refining a spiritual weapon wasn’t a quick process.

It required a long period of ritual cultivation to nurture even a hint of spirituality.

He had no shortage of spiritual weapons, so there was no rush.

He could wait until the right opportunity presented itself and slowly refine it.

His most important priority now was his cultivation.

He had just broken through the second stage of the Golden Core Realm and was in the period of rapid progress, so he couldn’t slack off.

The Holy Assembly within the Holy City was in full swing, but Lu Qing had already entered a deep state of cultivation.

Despite his absence, the sects and powers no longer dared to harbor any dissenting thoughts. They

threw themselves wholeheartedly into the discussions at the Holy Assembly, striving to secure their own interests.

Finally, two days later, on the massive stone platform in the center of the Holy City,

the First Holy Lord, with a solemn expression, held a jade tablet in his hand and surveyed the surroundings .

“Everyone, since there are no objections, the new decree will be determined according to the deliberations of this Holy Assembly. Do you agree?”

“Agreed!”

“Excellent!”

“Enact it accordingly.”

…

Representatives from the surrounding sects and powers nodded in agreement.

“Then please swear an oath before the Holy Tablet and leave your mind imprint.”

With these words, the First Holy Lord thrust his hand forward, and the jade tablet in his hand flew up, slowly expanding in the air until it transformed into a massive jade tablet several feet tall. It then landed on the ground and remained there.

The jade stele was engraved with numerous characters, representing the prohibitions agreed upon by the various sects during this Holy Assembly.

Without hesitation, the representatives of each sect stepped forward and swore an oath.

They then left their mental imprints on the stele.

When all the representatives of the sects had left their marks on the sacred stele, the three Holy Lords followed suit.

The next moment, a strange vision occurred.

A blinding light suddenly emanated from the sacred stele, rising into the azure sky.

A massive vortex suddenly appeared, absorbing the light.

Immediately, all the powerful individuals who had left their mind imprints on the holy tablet suddenly felt a strange sensation.

It was that their oaths had been sensed by the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Any future violation of the prohibitions enshrined in the holy tablet would not only result in repercussions for themselves, but also significantly diminish the fortune of their sects.

Sensing this, the representatives of all the sects understood

the true purpose of the Holy Mountain’s convening of this sacred meeting.

With the transformations of heaven and earth, the resurgence of spiritual energy, and the evolution of the laws of heaven and earth, the oaths sworn with the mind became more binding.

To avoid future repercussions and a significant decline in the fortune of their sects, those who had sworn before the holy tablet

must not only abide by the prohibitions themselves but also ensure that their disciples also refrain from disobeying them.

Thus, the Holy Mountain’s purpose had been truly achieved.

The representatives of the various sects exchanged bewilderment, realizing they had finally been tricked.

Fortunately, however, this prohibition had been the product of collective consultation.

Overall, the constraints on the cultivators were not very strong.

Most importantly, monks must not arbitrarily harm ordinary people.

This wasn’t difficult for righteous monks.

As for conflicts between monks, conflicts between sects, and internal affairs, the Holy Mountain would not interfere.

Therefore, as long as the prohibition against arbitrarily harming civilians was adhered to, the impact on the various sects would be minimal.

On the contrary, some of the weaker sects felt a sense of relief.

At least, this would encourage everyone to follow the rules more.

They no longer had to worry about other sects suddenly attacking and annihilating them.

In this light, the convening of this Holy Assembly was truly a good thing for them.

Just as the various sects were having their own thoughts ,

another shift occurred in the sky.

Several golden rays of light descended from the sky.

Three of them landed on the three Holy Lords.

A much larger golden light flew towards the Holy Mountain and sank into the cave where Lu Qing was in retreat.

“Golden light of merit!”

This sudden and surprising change naturally captured everyone’s attention.

Among them, the most knowledgeable cultivators immediately recognized the origin of the golden light emanating from the three Saint Lords.

It was the legendary golden light of merit, condensed only by those who have accumulated great merit!

“Such a rich golden light of merit!”

“To think it would descend at this time!”

“The descent of this golden light of merit demonstrates that the will of Heaven greatly recognizes the Holy Assembly facilitated by the three Saint Lords, thus specifically sending down its merit!”

“Legend has it that the golden light of merit can bring blessings and ward off disasters. With so much golden light of merit in hand, the three Saint Lords will surely have smoother cultivation in the future!”

…

A crowd of cultivators, observing the golden light of merit emanating from the three Saint Lords, began to discuss the situation.

Their eyes lit up with immense envy. While

most of them had never personally witnessed the golden light of merit, they had heard of it in various legends.

According to legend, those possessing the golden light of merit were those who possessed great merit.

Naturally blessed by heaven, ordinary people can enjoy exceptional luck, avoiding misfortune and enjoying a long and prosperous life.

Cultivators, on the other hand, experience flourishing fortune, a smooth path of cultivation, and numerous opportunities.

In short, the benefits are immense!

However, despite its numerous benefits, the Light of Merit is extremely difficult to condense.

Some, even through simply performing acts of kindness and accumulating virtue, may not even condense a single strand of Light of Merit.

Only through truly meritorious deeds that benefit both the world and the Way of Heaven can it be condensed.

So, seeing the three Saint Lords suddenly acquire so much Light of Merit, how could they not be envious?

However, even with envy, they could only be jealous.

This Holy Assembly had originally been convened and presided over by the three Saint Lords.

Clearly, the Will of Heaven recognized the credit for their contributions.

This was a matter of Heaven’s will, and even if they were envious, they could only stare blankly.

Furthermore, the three Saint Lords had not yet obtained the most golden light.

Just now, everyone saw a thicker, richer golden light soaring toward the Holy Mountain.

It was clearly destined for that person.

So, even if they harbored any objections, they dared not express them.

“This is… the golden light of merit…”

Even the three Holy Lords were stunned by the sudden descent of the golden light.

They had convened the Holy Assembly primarily because of the great aspiration they had originally vowed.

Their goal was to achieve enlightenment and further progress in their cultivation, without much further ulterior motive.

However, they had not anticipated that this Holy Assembly would so evoke the will of Heaven and Earth that they would specifically send down the light of merit.

This delighted the three Holy Lords, and they were deeply moved.

The heavenly shower of merit signified Heaven and Earth’s will, their approval of their actions.

This was a tremendous encouragement to them.

“The golden light of merit?”

Lu Qing, who was in retreat in his cave atop the Holy Mountain, was also awakened by the sudden descent of the golden light of merit.

He released his spiritual senses, and after more than ten breaths, he finally understood what was happening.

“So the Holy Assembly has concluded, the Holy Order has been negotiated, and it’s been recognized by numerous sects and powers throughout the world?

I never expected this Holy Order to resonate with the Will of Heaven, sending down the Light of Merit.

It seems I made the right choice this time by siding with the Holy Lord and his companions.”

Lu Qing felt the light of merit pouring into his brow acupoint, a smile on his face.

The light of merit he received this time was far more intense than the golden light of merit he had received when he defeated the demon cultivator and saved the people of the provincial capital.

It was over ten times more intense than that time.

Clearly, the Will of Heaven believed that the issuance of this Holy Order would be of great benefit to the people of the world.

“This way, there’s hope for my [Robe of Merit] to condense.”

Lu Qing felt the rich golden light of merit, feeling a sense of joy.

He had previously learned two methods for utilizing the golden light of merit from the demon cultivator.

One of them is to use the light of merit to condense a robe of merit.

At the critical moment, it can automatically protect the master and block all kinds of soul attacks and secret curses.

Among them, according to the richness of merit, the robe of merit condensed by this method is also divided into grades.

They are [Robe of Merit], [Robe of Merit] and the most powerful [Robe of Heavenly Merit].

Among them, once the [Robe of Heavenly Merit] is practiced, it is said that all evils will retreat and all kinds of magic will be invulnerable!

Even the powerful demons at the level of the primordial spirit will be extremely wary and stay away.

Of course, to condense the [Robe of Heavenly Merit] first, the light of merit required is huge and almost impossible to accumulate.

However, there is no hope for the [Robe of Heavenly Merit], but with the golden light of merit bestowed by the will of heaven this time.

Lu Qing saw some hope of condensing the [Robe of Merit].
