I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 507

Chapter 507 Demon-Slaying Mission, Golden Core-Level Puppet Dharmakaya

Lu Qing quietly returned to the Holy Mountain with Xiaoyan and the others.

He held immense authority within the Holy Mountain, and aside from the three Holy Lords, no one was worthy of an audience.

Therefore, his absences and returns were largely unknown, causing no disturbance.

However, the day after Lu Qing’s return,

the Holy Mountain disciples discovered a new talisman on the treasure exchange list at the Hall of Merit.

It was called the “Demon Suppression Talisman.”

Its primary power lay in the talisman’s power, exerting a powerful restraining influence on demonic cultivators, easily subduing them.

Simultaneously, a new long-term quest, “Demon Slayer,” had been added to the Mission Hall.

For each demonic cultivator captured and slain, the merit points earned by Holy Mountain disciples would be doubled.

The announcement of this quest excited the entire Holy Mountain community.

Merit points were crucial within the Holy Mountain.

Not only could they be exchanged for various treasures and cultivation techniques, but with sufficient merit points, one could even receive guidance from the elders.

Seeing that the [Demon Slayer] quest would double the Merit Points earned, all the Holy Mountain disciples were excited.

Immediately, countless Holy Mountain disciples accepted the quest and headed down the mountain to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits.

Even some elders, tempted, secretly accepted the quest and traveled.

After all, the treasures and techniques within the Hall of Merit were something they coveted.

As a result, the demonic cultivators throughout the world were in dire straits.

Within a few months, they were hunted down and driven to flee in panic by the Holy Mountain disciples, with most killed or wounded.

Only a few, skilled in hiding, managed to escape to more remote and desolate areas.

For a time, the demonic cultivators were almost extinct.

The Holy Mountain’s reputation soared, drawing even greater awe from numerous sects.

Lu Qing, the man who sparked this uproar, paid little attention to the outside world.

He had anticipated this outcome from the moment he announced the quest.

Those scoundrels cultivating the evil ways of the gutter, still relatively insignificant, naturally couldn’t withstand the Holy Mountain’s stranglehold.

So, after issuing the mission, he paid little attention.

He had more important matters to attend to.

Inside the Holy Mountain’s cave, Lu Qing gazed intently at the burgeoning Lihuo Cauldron before him.

He formed various hand seals, casting a series of magical restrictions that fell upon the artifact being refined within.

With the final restriction, the Lihuo Cauldron suddenly glowed brightly, rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy within the cave, providing energy for the transformation of the artifact within.

Vast quantities of spiritual energy surged, continuously absorbed by the artifact.

After a few breaths, it far exceeded the capacity of a cultivator who had reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Fortunately, the Holy Mountain was the center of Zhongzhou, and its spiritual energy had long since reached an astonishing level of richness.

Even if dozens of Jindan-level cultivators were cultivating there simultaneously, it could easily sustain the supply.

So, while Lu Qing’s commotion was considerable, its impact on the Holy Mountain was minimal.

After absorbing the spiritual energy from the cave for a full quarter of an hour, the Lihuo Cauldron finally ceased absorbing it.

The object within the cauldron had finally completed its transformation.

Lu Qing activated his incantation, and a stream of light flew out of the cauldron, landing before him.

It was a humanoid puppet Dharmakaya, similar in size to himself, with indistinct features.

“Finally, I’ve succeeded,”

Lu Qing smiled as he gazed at the puppet Dharmakaya before him, then activated his supernatural powers.

After a few breaths, a purple aura of supernatural power emerged from the puppet Dharmakaya, and several messages floated out.

[Golden Core-Level Puppet Dharmakaya: A powerful puppet Dharmakaya crafted from numerous precious materials.]

[This puppet Dharmakaya possesses extraordinary power, having reached the Golden Core realm.]

[This puppet Dharmakaya possesses all five elements, harnessing their power.]

[This puppet Dharmakaya is a growth-stage puppet, its power increasing through cultivation. “

Yes

, it has reached the Golden Core stage.”

Lu Qing was even more satisfied when he read the information floating from the puppet Dharmakaya.

It was no wonder he had spent so much merit points, exchanging them for precious materials from the Holy Mountain’s treasury.

It had also taken him several months to refine this puppet Dharmakaya.

Its power alone was already at the Golden Core stage.

After admiring it for a moment, Lu Qing’s mind moved, and a ball of spiritual power flew out from his brow acupoint and landed on the puppet Dharmakaya’s forehead.

It was the divine soul seed he had cultivated over the years using the soul-splitting technique.

As the divine soul seed entered the puppet’s Dharma body and refined it , it

began to transform, its form becoming identical to Lu Qing’s.

Its previously blurry features became clearer, becoming an exact replica of his.

Then, the puppet’s Dharma body’s eyes opened, a glint of light flickering in them as it gazed at Lu Qing’s true form.

“What a wonderful feeling!”

Lu Qing felt a hint of wonder on his face as he took in the experience.

It was as if he had two selves, staring at each other face to face, a strange feeling.

However, his realm was profound, and he quickly adapted.

Once a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, they become capable of multitasking.

The soul-splitting technique, while remarkable, was essentially similar.

Both consciousnesses shared the same source, simply possessing a unique perspective.

“The Dharma body’s power should currently be somewhat stronger than that of the three Saint Masters,”

Lu Qing concluded, estimating the puppet’s Dharma body’s strength.

Over the years, the three benefactors had frequently sought his advice, so he was quite familiar with their strengths.

The puppet Dharma body he had cultivated lacked a mana elixir, soul talismans, or any other innate magical powers or magical treasures.

Its primary source of power came from a “virtual elixir” he had condensed from his own mana elixir.

Therefore, it was naturally far inferior to his true form.

However, due to his realm, the power he could unleash was still significantly greater than that of the three Saint Lords.

Lu Qing estimated that at his current realm, with the power of his Dharma body, he could easily defeat the three Saint Lords alone.

Most importantly, the puppet Dharma body he had cultivated was a growth-oriented one.

While the “virtual elixir” within it, while not a true golden elixir without the tempering of heavenly tribulations,

could nonetheless absorb spiritual energy, refine and compress it, and continuously increase its power.

With continued compression, it was not impossible for it to reach the limit of a golden elixir.

“Soul-shaping clay is truly miraculous! It’s truly the material the Puppet Sect covets, and it’s well worth all the merit points I’ve spent on it.”

The growth properties of this puppet Dharma body are due to the presence of Soul-shaping clay.

The Puppet Sect lists it as one of the best materials for refining puppet masters, and for good reason.

After getting familiar with the puppet Dharma body, Lu Qing left it in the quiet room to cultivate on its own while he walked out.

Ever since bringing Xiaoyan and the others to the Holy Mountain, he had divided the cave into several quiet rooms for them to cultivate.

After leaving the quiet room, seeing Xiaoyan and the others still in retreat, Lu Qing didn’t disturb them and left the cave on his own, preparing to walk around the Holy Mountain to relax.

As he walked slowly, Lu Qing took in the surrounding scenery.

This was the peak of the Holy Mountain, where the pressure was so intense that only those at the Jindan realm could withstand it.

Aside from the occasional visits of the three Holy Lords, there were few others.

Lu Qing disliked meeting outsiders, so he usually came here to relax and unwind.

This time, however, Lu Qing had barely strolled for a moment when a feeling struck him. He looked up

and saw a streak of light drifting from the distant sky, finally settling before the Holy Mountain, revealing a graceful figure.

Simultaneously, a visiting card, also emitting a hazy glow, flew into the Holy Mountain.

“This aura… has she finally achieved a breakthrough?”

Lu Qing pondered, sensing the familiar presence of the visitor.

A visitor from the Jindan realm naturally wouldn’t be hidden from the three Holy Lords.

Furthermore, the other party had presented a visiting card.

Soon, the First Holy Lord’s gentle voice echoed from the mountain.

“Palace Master, I’m truly ashamed to have failed to welcome you.”

Then, a rainbow bridge flew out from the mountain, landing before the figure suspended in mid-air.

“Lingshuang, I’m truly ashamed to have the audacity to visit you.”

The figure in mid-air bowed gracefully before stepping onto the rainbow bridge and soaring into the mountain.

Indeed, the Jindan realm visitor was none other than Hanshui Palace’s Palace Master, Han Lingshuang.

It was only ten years since we last met, but when we saw each other again, he had already become a Jindan realm cultivator.

Watching Han Lingshuang enter the mountain, Lu Qing thought for a moment and then slowly walked down the mountain.
