I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 487
Chapter 487 Soul Clay, Blood Exchange
“Soul-shaping mud, a disciple actually managed to find this?”
Lu Qing looked at the spiritual object recorded in the booklet in surprise.
“Not long ago, a small secret realm opened in a remote state, and a disciple went in to explore and luckily found it.
The disciple didn’t know the use of this spiritual mud, but simply found it unique and offered it in exchange for credit.”
The First Saint Lord explained.
“So it was found in a secret realm, no wonder.” Lu Qing suddenly understood.
He had said that a spiritual object like Soul-shaping mud could not be easily found.
But if it was a secret realm, then it made sense.
The secret realm is one of the most powerful opportunities in this world, and it is the most capable of producing all kinds of magical and wonderful objects.
“Three seniors, I would like to exchange this Soul-shaping mud for you. May I ask if this is possible?” Lu Qing said immediately.
“Of course, Fellow Daoist Lu, your contributions are unparalleled in the Holy Mountain. Whatever spiritual object you wish to exchange for it, it’s up to you.”
The First Saint Lord nodded directly, then curiously asked, “Fellow Daoist Lu, do you want this Soul Shaping Clay to refine a puppet Dharmakaya?”
“Indeed,” Lu Qing didn’t deny. “The Third Saint Lord once gave me a copy of the Puppet Sect’s inheritance. I’ve been quite interested and have always wanted to try refining it.
However, I’ve been struggling with a lack of materials, so I’ve put it aside. I didn’t expect to see this Soul Shaping Clay today.”
The ancient immortal sect, the Puppet Sect, left behind a legacy that includes a wide variety of materials for refining puppets.
However, those spiritual objects are quite difficult to find.
Therefore, Lu Qing had never attempted to refine a puppet Dharmakaya
until today, when he saw this Soul Shaping Clay.
Soul Shaping Clay is an excellent material for refining puppet Dharmakayas, even a higher grade than the materials used by the three Saint Lords.
If refined properly, the resulting puppet Dharmakaya would surely be quite powerful.
“Then I’ll have the Soul-Shaping Clay delivered to you later?” the First Saint Lord asked.
“That’s not urgent. I need to go out for a bit now. I’ll get the Soul-Shaping Clay when I return.”
“Alright,”
the First Saint Lord nodded, not asking what Lu Qing was up to.
Within the Holy Mountain, Lu Qing had the most freedom of movement.
Even the three Saint Lords never questioned his whereabouts.
After bidding farewell to the three Saint Lords, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light, soaring up into the azure sky, heading towards the East China Sea.
It didn’t take long before he reached the surface of the vast East China Sea, thousands of miles beneath the surface.
Lu Qing made no effort to conceal his presence, so upon his arrival, the massive body of the old dragon turtle slowly rose to the surface.
“Senior Dragon Turtle, long time no see,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
“I haven’t seen you for nearly ten years. Fellow Daoist Lu, your cultivation has truly reached new heights.”
The old dragon turtle sensed Lu Qing’s presence, and a hint of surprise crossed its eyes,
though it, too, couldn’t discern Lu Qing’s true realm.
But as a former mighty soul master, it instinctively knew Lu Qing had become even stronger.
It even faintly sensed a dangerous aura from Lu Qing.
Clearly, Lu Qing’s cultivation had progressed significantly over the past ten years, reaching a point where he could pose a threat.
“This human race is truly blessed by heaven. Though naturally weak, through true cultivation, their strength grows far faster than that of us exotic beasts and spirit beasts,”
the old dragon turtle couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
It was the same in the previous era of immortal cultivation.
It had cultivated diligently for over twenty thousand years before reaching the soul realm.
But many of the human race’s prodigies often cultivate for hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve the soul realm.
Their cultivation speed was far, far faster than that of the exotic beasts and spirit beasts.
This was why the old dragon turtle didn’t fly into a rage when Lu Qing asked for its bloodline.
Besides the alluring terms Lu Qing offered, it also didn’t want to antagonize such a mysterious and unparalleled prodigy with boundless potential.
“Senior Longgui, you said in the message that you are willing to trade with me. Do you mean it?” Lu Qing asked at this time.
“Yes, of course, the premise is that the things you use to trade are enough to make me excited.” The old dragon turtle said in a deep voice.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down, Senior Dragon Turtle.”
After Lu Qing finished speaking, he ejected a jade slip and dropped it downwards.
The old dragon turtle caught the jade slip.
Using his mind to investigate, he saw that it contained a small map of the starry sky, which was brilliant and dazzling.
“Senior Dragon Turtle, this jade slip contains a small star map, which I got from the alien alien I once killed.
It records the positions of the stars in many worlds outside.
Senior has experienced the last era of immortal cultivation, so he should know clearly.
For cultivators of our generation, after entering the Yuanshen realm, it will become extremely difficult and arduous to make further progress in cultivation.
The reason is that the origin of our world is not strong enough, and it is difficult to breed strong people above the Yuanshen initial realm.
Therefore, after entering the Yuanshen realm, if you still want to have… The best way to achieve a breakthrough is to leave this world and enter a more powerful realm to cultivate.
Otherwise, sitting in this world will only bring about the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, a catastrophe of spiritual energy depletion, which occurs only once every tens of thousands of years. However,
the starry sky is vast, full of dangers and unknowns.
Without a star map to guide them, even a powerful Yuanshen master can easily get lost in the starry sky.
If you are willing to exchange, I will give you the star map of our world’s territory.”
The old dragon turtle gazed at the small piece of starry sky in the jade slip and fell silent as he listened to Lu Qing’s words.
Lu Qing’s words about Yuanshen realm cultivation particularly shook it.
As an old dragon turtle who had experienced the rise and fall of an entire era of immortal cultivation, he naturally knew what Lu Qing said was true.
At the peak of the previous era of immortal cultivation, it had already entered the Yuanshen realm.
However, for a full ten thousand years thereafter, until the end of the era, its cultivation realm had made limited progress.
After entering the Yuanshen realm, its practice became countless times more obscure.
It was like groping in the dark, making progress extremely difficult.
And it wasn’t just him; even the two human Yuan Shen realm cultivators he knew shared the same dilemma.
He had discussed this with them, and their conclusion was similar to what Lu Qing had just said.
The very essence of this world couldn’t sustain their breakthrough to higher realms.
This made their cultivation so obscure and difficult. But
what could they do without cultivating in this world?
In the last era of immortal cultivation, powerful Yuan Shen cultivators had attempted to traverse layers of astral winds, break through the barrier, and explore the starry sky.
Only to find nothing.
The vastness of the starry sky was beyond imagination.
Without replenishing spiritual energy, they couldn’t venture far.
Ultimately, they either returned empty-handed or became lost in the starry sky, their soul lamps extinguished.
This was why, at the end of the last era of immortal cultivation, those human cultivators chose to refine the Boundary Breaking Boat.
Because even those at the Yuan Shen realm couldn’t survive alone in the starry sky.
The cultivators of their world knew too little about the vast starry sky.
This was precisely why the old dragon turtle agreed to trade with Lu Qing when he heard that he actually possessed a star map of the outer sky.
If what Lu Qing said was true, that star map would be incredibly valuable.
Looking at the small patch of starry sky coordinates recorded in the jade slip, the old dragon turtle knew that Lu Qing had not lied.
It pondered for a moment, then finally spat out three jade bottles from its mouth.
“Inside these are three portions of my condensed true blood.
As agreed, we should be able to exchange them for the star map in your hand.”
