I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 481

Chapter 481 Ancient Dragon Turtle, Ancestral Dragon Bloodline

When the mysterious being saw the Lihuo Cauldron falling, it was too late to dodge.

It could only pull its head and claws inward, using its body to withstand the force of the Lihuo Cauldron falling from the sky.

Boom!

The Lihuo Cauldron smashed into the mysterious being, unleashing immense power.

It also slammed the being back into the sea, sending a raging storm.

The waters swirled, and a torrential downpour fell over the entire ten-mile radius.

“Huh?”

He was surprised to see the mysterious being merely slammed back into the sea by the Lihuo Cauldron, rather than exploding.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength in this hasty attack,

the Lihuo Cauldron was a mid-grade spiritual artifact, capable of withstanding the blow head-on without shattering.

The mysterious being’s physical strength was truly terrifying.

Lu Qing looked at the sea and could sense that the mysterious being’s aura had weakened slightly, showing no signs of even serious injury.

Its physical strength was unmatched by anything a Jindan-level spirit beast could possess.

The five-colored winged snake quickly flew to Lu Qing’s side and spat out the black spirit pearl from its mouth.

Lu Qing took it and stored it in his Qiankun Qi Bag.

Boom!

At that moment, countless waves rose from the sea again, and a colossal creature emerged.

Lu Qing finally saw the true face of the mysterious being.

It was a beast with a ferocious head, like a dragon, sturdy limbs, sharp claws, and a body covered in a hard shell with mysterious patterns.

Its body alone was several miles across, countless times larger than any creature he had ever seen.

However, there was a dent in the shell, and the carapace was cracked, with faint traces of blood oozing out.

Clearly, although its shell had withstood the blow from the Lihuo Ding, it had not been unwell.

The monster now regarded Lu Qing and the five-colored winged snake with an extremely cold gaze.

The five-colored winged snake shuddered and involuntarily hid behind Lu Qing.

When the monster closed in on it, it truly thought it was doomed to perish in the sea.

Furthermore, it sensed a sense of submission emanating from the monster below.

It felt a fear deep within its blood, a sense of invisible pressure.

Had it not been enslaved by Lu Qing’s spirit, unable to betray its master, it would have fled long ago.

Lu Qing quietly activated his supernatural powers and gazed at it.

Soon, a rich purple supernatural light emanated from the monster’s body.

Several messages floated out.

[Ancient Dragon Turtle: A powerful beast that dwells in the depths of the sea.]

[Cultivation: Primordial Spirit Body, Golden Core Soul.]

[This dragon turtle possesses the bloodline of Suanni, son of the ancient Ancestral Dragon. Its body is formidable, far surpassing that of similarly ranked spirit beasts.]

[The Ancestral Dragon’s bloodline is exceptionally potent, difficult to completely erase even by the Five Decays of Heaven and Man in a small world.]

This dragon turtle once severed its own realm and entered a deep slumber, using this to survive the depletion of spiritual energy in its small world and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Dragon

turtles are long-lived; this one has already reached over 40,000 years.

Dragon turtles have a long lifespan, but due to their enormous size, their cultivation realm advances much more slowly than that of ordinary spirit beasts.

…

The string of messages filled Lu Qing with both surprise and delight.

He finally understood why the monster before him was so powerful, even withstanding the blow from the Lihuo Cauldron without suffering any serious injuries, only a cracked shell.

It turned out to be the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon!

The Ancestral Dragon is a Nine Tribulations beast, its power unimaginable.

Even Suanni, one of its nine sons, was already a Six Tribulations beast a hundred thousand years ago. One

can only imagine the power of its bloodline.

“So the bloodline that Suanni dropped back then was actually seized by the Dragon Turtle Clan?”

After reading several messages, Lu Qing finally understood what was going on.

He had previously obtained two inheritances from the sword marks in the canyon at Qinglong Pass and the Suanni’s claw marks.

The inheritance illusion showed a sparring match a hundred thousand years ago, in which Suanni lost to Potian Daoren.

A scar on its claw leaked a strand of blood, which fell into the great river at Qinglong Pass, attracting countless exotic beasts to fight for it.

Now it seems that the Dragon Turtle Clan had seized the bloodline in that battle.

However, this dragon turtle was likely not the one that originally seized the Suanni’s bloodline, but a descendant of it.

After all, the message indicated that its lifespan was only a little over forty thousand years.

And the sparring match between Potian Daoren and Suanni took place over a hundred thousand years ago.

“However, the Ancestral Dragon bloodline is truly so formidable that even the depletion of spiritual energy and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man are unable to withstand it.”

This dragon turtle has lived for over 40,000 years.

Clearly, it has existed since the last era of immortal cultivation and has survived until now.

And unlike the Plague Ghost and the Nether Ghost, who survived by seizing spiritual artifacts through the art of soul-stealing, abandoning their physical bodies,

this dragon turtle relied on its own bloodline to resist the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

And it hasn’t died yet, merely fallen in realm, plunging into a deep slumber.

Now that the world is changing and spiritual energy is resurrecting, it’s clear that this dragon turtle has also awakened from its slumber.

However, while awakened, its strength has not yet fully recovered.

Upon understanding all this, Lu Qing was surprised but also relieved.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy had only been revived for a few years, and the dragon turtle hadn’t yet fully recovered its peak strength.

Otherwise, even a Perfect Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t be a match for a dragon turtle at the Yuanshen Realm, bearing the blood of the Ancestral Dragon.

However, this also gave Lu Qing a headache.

Although the dragon turtle’s realm had declined, its physical body was a true Yuanshen Realm mortal.

He had seen before that even a strike from the Lihuo Ding could only leave a mark on its body and crack its shell.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength just now, he had already mobilized about 40% of the Lihuo Ding’s power.

Judging from the situation, even if he activated the Lihuo Ding to its full potential, he wouldn’t be able to seriously injure it, let alone kill it.

He had already discovered this when he took the Water Spirit Pearl.

The Water Spirit Pearl had been refined and contained the dragon turtle’s soul imprint, controlling it.

It was simply because the summoning power between the several spirit beads was so magical that it caught the dragon turtle off guard.

However, if the soul mark in the water spirit bead was not removed, it would become extremely difficult for him to refine it.

There were only a few ways to remove the soul mark in the water spirit bead.

The first was to kill the dragon turtle, and the soul mark would naturally disappear automatically.

The second was to let the dragon turtle erase the soul mark itself.

The last method was for Lu Qing to use the water grinding technique to gradually erase the soul mark from the water spirit bead. Of

these three methods, the first two were self-explanatory.

Looking at the angry eyes of the dragon turtle below, it was clear that it was almost impossible.

Even the third one was not something Lu Qing could do in a short period of time. After all,

the dragon turtle was once a Yuanshen realm being, and the strength of its soul far exceeded that of an average Jindan realm being.

Although Lu Qing’s soul possessed its own unique qualities,

erasing the soul imprint within the Water Spirit Pearl while the dragon turtle was still alive

would likely take decades or even centuries.

And that was assuming the dragon turtle hadn’t grown stronger.

If the dragon turtle recovered during those decades or centuries,

Lu Qing would likely face a terrifying dragon turtle, bearing the blood of the Ancestral Dragon and at the level of the Yuan Shen realm.

This thought gave Lu Qing a sudden headache.

Although he had unexpectedly seized the Water Spirit Pearl, refining it would likely require considerable effort.

“Two ants, return my precious pearl! Otherwise, I will see you die without a burial place!”

Just as Lu Qing was feeling this headache, the dragon turtle floating on the sea surface emitted an angry soul wave.

“Hmm?”

Feeling this soul wave, Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then a surge of joy filled his heart.

This dragon turtle could communicate? That made things much easier!

His expression faded, a faint look appearing.

Looking at the dragon turtle below, he said, “I never thought an ancient dragon turtle would remain in this deep sea.

It’s survived the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and survived until now. Its realm has only declined, but its body remains intact.

The bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon is truly extraordinary!”

“Boy, what did you say?!”

Lu Qing’s words shook the dragon turtle’s heart and soul. Its body surged, sending ripples of energy surging for dozens of miles.

Its once furious, cold eyes gave way to shock.

It stared intently at Lu Qing, its heart filled with disbelief.

It couldn’t believe this mere Jindan-level ant could know so much about it.

Not only had he described its current physical condition with perfect accuracy, but he had also revealed the origins of their bloodline, their greatest secret.

This was a secret unknown even in the previous era of immortal cultivation!

“Is it hard to understand?”

Lu Qing smiled at the dragon turtle’s stunned expression, feeling more reassured.

“Although your clan is mysterious, its origins are not unknown.

In ancient times, yours was merely an ordinary tribe of giant turtles.

By chance, you acquired a strand of the bloodline of Suanni, the son of the Ancestral Dragon.

After refining it, you transformed into the Dragon Turtle Clan.

This secret is unknown in this world, but it is no secret in the outside world.”

Lu Qing continued to reveal the secrets of the Dragon Turtle Clan, causing the dragon turtle’s eyes to widen.

Finally, it couldn’t help but exclaim, “Boy, who are you?!”

The dragon turtle’s shock was beyond words.

The details of its clan’s transformation were recorded in its bloodline heritage.

Apart from the Dragon Turtle Clan, few other creatures knew the way.

And now, it was the only dragon turtle left in this world.

Where did this boy before him learn such secrets?

The dragon turtle sensed Lu Qing as just an ordinary young man at the initial stage of the Golden Core stage.

And judging by the aura he exuded, he was very young.

It wasn’t even a fraction of the fraction of the fraction of the years it had lived.

Yet, it held the most closely guarded secrets of its clan.

This immediately filled the Dragon Turtle with uncertainty, feeling that this mere Jindan realm kid before them had suddenly become unfathomable.

“Who I am doesn’t matter,” Lu Qing said, his expression remaining impassive.

“This Water Spirit Pearl is useful to me. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?”

The Dragon Turtle fell silent.

If anyone else had dared to speak to it like that, it would have killed them with a single strike of its claws.

But Lu Qing now evoked a sense of enigma, forcing it to hesitate.

However, the Water Spirit Pearl held immense significance to it, crucial to its return to the Yuanshen realm.

It was impossible for it to surrender it so easily.

After a moment’s silence, the Dragon Turtle spoke, “The Water Spirit Pearl is extremely valuable to me. Your request to take it is unacceptable.”

At this moment, the Dragon Turtle no longer dared to address Lu Qing with such disdain, calling him a brat or an ant, but instead addressed him with respect.

In its mind, it had already come to regard Lu Qing as a being of mysterious origin, worthy of an equal dialogue.

Lu Qing wasn’t surprised by the dragon turtle’s response.

After all, its anger had already demonstrated its importance to the Water Spirit Pearl.

He smiled and said, “What if I offer you something in exchange?”

“Exchange?”

The dragon turtle was stunned.

“Yes, I’ll offer you a set of skills in exchange for this Water Spirit Pearl.” Lu Qing nodded.

“Skills?” The dragon turtle laughed. “You’re joking. My clan has always practiced only our own orthodox skills and has no interest in other skills.”

If Lu Qing had mentioned a treasure in exchange, the dragon turtle might have been interested.

But when he heard about skills, its interest immediately dropped.

The dragon turtle clan had always practiced only their own skills and had no interest in the skills of other exotic beasts.

Furthermore, Lu Qing, as a human, possessed skills that were unlikely to be of any use to it.

However, Lu Qing’s next words made its eyes suddenly widen.

“What if the technique I’m talking about is related to that mythical beast, Suan Ni, who has a profound connection to your clan?”

“Is what you say true?!!!!”

Upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, the dragon turtle first showed a look of disbelief, then couldn’t help but cry out in shock.

Another huge wave rose on the sea, revealing the dragon turtle’s inner shock.

“Of course it’s true,” Lu Qing nodded.

“Impossible!”

the dragon turtle cried out, unable to conceal its shock.

It simply couldn’t believe that Lu Qing possessed a technique related to that person.

Because, in its clan’s bloodline, that person was an incomparably sacred being. A

supreme being who truly changed their fate.

In the inherited memories passed down by their ancestors, that supreme being was incredibly powerful.

A mere movement could tear through space, break the membrane, and wreak disaster on this world.

The boy before it actually claimed to possess that person’s technique—it was truly unbelievable.

But thinking of how Lu Qing had previously revealed its identity and origins, even down to the fact that it had endured hardships from the previous era of immortal cultivation, word for word, the dragon turtle hesitated for a moment.

The young man before it was too mysterious. If anyone else had said the same thing, it would have thought it was nonsense.

But if it was this man, it couldn’t help but feel a little hopeful, hoping that what he said was true.
