I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 513

Chapter 513 Final Departure

Grandpa Zhang’s funeral, as he wished, was not grand.

It was simply organized, and finally, according to the old man’s wishes, he was buried next to the graves of Xiaoyan’s grandfather and parents.

During the funeral, Lu Qing and Xiaoyan both kept vigil for the old man for a whole night.   Grandpa Zhang was probably the only mortal in the world who had the

honor of having two Jindan realm masters guarding his body, one of whom was the strongest person in the world.   In the few days after the funeral, Lu Qing became much more silent.   From time to time, he would stare at the sky in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.   One day, he came to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain to play chess with his master.   Suddenly, the old doctor said, “Ah Qing, have you been worried about something recently?”   Lu Qing was stunned. After coming to his senses, he realized that his master had noticed his condition these days.   He thought for a moment and decided to speak frankly: “Master, I’ve been thinking about something lately.”   ”What’s bothering you so much?”   ”I want to leave this world and venture out into the outside world.”   ”Out there?”   The old doctor paused, slowly placing the chess piece back into the box and looking at Lu Qing.   ”You said you wanted to leave this world?”   Lu Qing had mentioned other worlds to the old doctor before, so he knew a little about them.   ”Yes,” Lu Qing nodded.   ”Master, the magical elixir I’ve refined is somewhat special and quite powerful. The spiritual energy in this world is currently insufficient to allow me to further improve my cultivation.   To be honest, Master, I haven’t made any progress in over a decade.   Unless the sound of Heaven and Earth resounds once more, further transforming the spiritual energy   , I might be able to achieve a breakthrough.   But I estimate that even if the sound of Heaven and Earth resounds,   it won’t be long before my cultivation stagnates again due to the spiritual energy.”   ”So that’s it…”   The old doctor was shocked by Lu Qing’s words.   Ever since Lu Qing entered the Golden Core Realm, he had never seen through his disciple’s true cultivation level.   He hadn’t known that his cultivation level hadn’t improved at all in over a decade.   Looking at Lu Qing’s calm face, the old doctor finally understood why he wanted to leave this world and venture into the outside world.   His disciple had an amazing talent for cultivation.   From the day he officially started practicing, his cultivation speed had been incredibly fast, shocking the world. He   was much more powerful than any other genius.   Since the revival of spiritual energy, he had been making rapid progress. In a short period of time, he had overcome the Golden Core Tribulation and became the best in the world.   Such a peerless genius, yet his cultivation level hadn’t improved at all in over a decade.   To be honest, the fact that Lu Qing had been able to endure until now made the old doctor feel that his disciple’s Dao heart was strong enough.   With this in mind, the old doctor asked, “However, leaving this world isn’t easy, is it? The journey to other worlds won’t be easy either.”   ”The two aliens from outer space that I killed, who were at the Jindan realm, left behind relics   that contained the coordinates of the stars of many other worlds, star maps that can guide cultivators through the sky.   There are also magical flying boats that can traverse the starry sky. Master, don’t worry.”   ”It seems, Ah Qing, you already had plans,” the old doctor said.   ”Well, I didn’t leave before because of Xiaoyan. Now that she has entered the Jindan realm, there are few powerful beings in this world who can threaten her. I can travel with peace of mind.” Lu Qing nodded.   ”So, you mean you’re not taking Xiaoyan with you?” The old doctor was a little surprised.   ”Xiaoyan has just passed her tribulation. The next few decades will be a time for her to consolidate her realm and refine her cultivation. It’s not suitable for   her to travel. Furthermore, the world I wish to visit is filled with hidden talents and powerful individuals.   The road ahead is unpredictable, and even I, as a disciple, lack the confidence to protect Xiaoyan.   Therefore, I plan to explore alone first.   Once I’ve established myself in the outside world, I’ll consider bringing Xiaoyan along.”   Lu Qing explained his plans.   Crossing the starry sky is no easy task.   There are still many unknown dangers.   Despite his confidence, Lu Qing didn’t want to take Xiaoyan on such a risk.   After all, the girl was different from him. Although she had condensed a powerful, high-grade golden elixir,   she hadn’t yet reached the limits of this world. Even if she remained in this world to cultivate, she could still improve her cultivation.   ”That’s fine, but I’m afraid it’ll be hard to ask Xiaoyan,”   the old doctor joked.   He knew how much the girl was attached to Lu Qing.   If she knew she wouldn’t see him for decades, she’d probably throw a tantrum.   ”I will convince Xiaoyan. She’s a powerful Jindan realm cultivator now, so she’ll understand.”   Even so, when he actually stood before Xiaoyan and saw her expectant eyes,   Lu Qing, whose heart was strong enough to remain calm even in the face of a heavenly tribulation,   felt a little nervous.   ”Brother, you said you had something important to tell me. What is it?”   Xiaoyan looked at Lu Qing expectantly.   ”Um, that’s what Xiaoyan…”

Lu Qing calmed himself down and slowly explained his plan.

“Basically, Brother wants to leave this world for a while and find a more powerful world to cultivate in.”

Even after he finished, Lu Qing felt a little uneasy.

“So that’s what you’re talking about. I thought it was something big.”

However, to his surprise, Xiaoyan, instead of getting angry, remained surprisingly calm.

“Xiaoyan, aren’t you angry?” Lu Qing was stunned.

“Of course not.” Xiaoyan shook her head. “Actually, even if Brother hadn’t said it, Xiaoyan would have guessed it.”

“Brother has been much stricter with Xiaoyan’s cultivation over the years. At that time, Xiaoyan had a premonition that Brother was preparing for something.

But since you didn’t say it, Xiaoyan never asked.

Only today did I find out that Brother had hit a snag in his cultivation, having made no progress in over a decade. The

reason you haven’t set out yet is because you’re waiting for Xiaoyan to overcome her tribulation, right?”

“Xiaoyan…”

Lu Qing was stunned by Xiaoyan’s calm demeanor.

After a moment, with a complicated expression, he reached out and ruffled the girl’s hair.

“It seems that my precious sister has really grown up. It’s my fault for still treating you like a child.”

Yes, although Xiaoyan is already a powerful Jindan Realm cultivator.

But in Lu Qing’s heart, Xiaoyan has always been just that well-behaved sister.

So from time to time, he would always subconsciously treat her like a child.

Now it seems that his mentality really needs to change.

“Brother, is the world you want to go to very far away from us?” Xiaoyan asked.

“Well, without a special flying boat magic weapon, even if it is a powerful Yuanshen, it would take dozens or even hundreds of years to cross the starry sky with its own strength before it can be reached.”

“It’s so far!” Xiaoyan was shocked.

She was now at the Jindan stage, and her speed was already extraordinary. Even if she crossed the vast continents of the world, it wouldn’t take more than a few days.

And the speed of the Yuanshen, a powerful being far above the Jindan stage, must be even more terrifying.

Even such powerful beings would take dozens or even hundreds of years to cross the starry sky. She couldn’t imagine how vast that distance was.

“Don’t worry, brother has a Void Flying Boat. Crossing the starry sky is not difficult, and it won’t take that long.

If everything goes well, we should be able to reach that world in a few years at most.”

“Several years!” Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up at the words. “In other words, if you want to come back, it won’t take too long?”

“That’s right, so this time, brother can’t take you with him. Once I’m established there and I’m sure there’s no danger, I’ll come back to pick you up.”

“Okay, Xiaoyan will wait for you at home!” The girl nodded repeatedly,

and her heart relaxed even more.

Honestly, after hearing her brother say he was going to another world, it was impossible not to be nervous.

The starry sky is far away, and who knows when her brother will return.

She had simply suppressed these emotions deep within her heart, hiding them from her brother.

But if the return trip took less than ten years, that would be a different story.

Perhaps she could have spent that time in seclusion once or twice, and it would have passed.

“Brother, when are you planning to leave?”

“In a few days, I’ll stay with you a few more days.”

Lu Qing was also in a good mood.

He hadn’t expected that the hurdle he’d thought would be the most difficult would be overcome so easily.

However, what surprised him even more was that Xiaoyan, whom he’d thought would be the most difficult to convince, had also passed with ease.

When it came to Xiaoli, Lu Qing encountered a problem.

“No, I want to go with you!”

Xiaoli declared bluntly upon hearing Lu Qing’s intention to leave this world.

His tone was firm, without a trace of hesitation.

“Xiaoli, the world I’m going to is filled with powerful beings, even quite a few with powerful souls…”

“I don’t care, I want to go with you!”

Lu Qing was about to persuade her, but Xiaoli didn’t even listen and interrupted him.

No matter how Lu Qing tried to persuade him, Xiao Li insisted on leaving this world with Lu Qing.

In the end, Xiao Yan intervened, saying, “How about you take Xiao Li with you?”

“But…”

“Brother, didn’t you say that Xiao Li’s parents might not have passed away in the last era of immortal cultivation, but left this world with the Demon King?

If you take Xiao Li with you, you might be able to find out more about them.”

Hearing this, Lu Qing hesitated.

Over the years, ever since Xiao Li achieved Golden Core, he had revealed his past to him.

Only now, Xiao Yan’s mention of it, did he remember it.

Xiao Li’s gaze grew even more intense.

Facing the little one’s gaze, Lu Qing paused for a moment before finally nodding.

“Okay, but Xiao Li, the story about your parents was just speculation. We

‘re not sure if they truly left this world.

And tens of thousands of years have passed since the last era of immortal cultivation.

Even if they did leave, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack for us.

The chances of finding any information about them are extremely slim, so be prepared.”

“I know. As long as I can go with you, Ah Qing,” Xiao Li nodded seriously.

“Alright then, you can leave with me in a few days,” Lu Qing said helplessly.

But then he thought about the little guy’s magical power of size, allowing him to change his size at will.

Actually, it wouldn’t be inconvenient for him to come with him.

He had originally wanted Xiao Li to stay with Xiao Yan, but he hadn’t expected the little guy to be so stubborn.

Seeing that Xiao Li could leave with Lu Qing, Wu Xing immediately became interested and wanted to go too.

This time, after thinking it over, Lu Qing simply agreed.

After all, taking one is the same, taking two is the same.

Besides, Wu Xing was his enslaved spirit beast, and he wasn’t sure if the enslavement mark would still be effective if they were too far away.

So, he decided to take them all with him.

However, he had originally intended to leave them with Xiaoyan, but now that they were all gone, he was worried about Xiaoyan.

Hearing his concern, Xiaoyan smiled.

“Don’t worry, brother. Grandpa Chen and everyone in the village are here. And if I’m bored, I can go to Sister Lingshuang and practice with her.”

“It seems the girl has truly grown up.”

Seeing his sister comfort him, Lu Qing rubbed her head and said nothing more. For

the next few days, Lu Qing did nothing except his daily training.

The rest of the time, he spent time with Xiaoyan.

The siblings went fishing, gathered herbs, and then cooked a ton of delicious food.

In short, they relived their childhood memories.

Three days later, in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Lu Qing was dressed lightly, with Xiao Li and Wu Xing each standing on his shoulders.

His master and Xiao Yan followed behind him.

This time, Lu Qing hadn’t told anyone except Xiao Yan and his master about his departure.

“Master, I’m ready to leave.”

“Well, be careful on the road. When you reach other worlds, don’t get involved in fights easily. Your own survival is paramount,” the old doctor warned.

“I understand.”

“Brother, you must come back soon.” Xiao Yan’s eyes misted.

Although she had acted remarkably strong these past few days, when Lu Qing finally left, she couldn’t help but feel emotional.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back in fifty years at most. Regardless of whether I can gain a foothold in other worlds or not,” Lu Qing rubbed the girl’s head.

This was the time limit he had set for himself.

While fifty years was a long time, it was nothing for Jindan-level cultivators like Xiao Yan and his master.

After all, a Jindan-level expert, even one just entering the realm, could have a lifespan of a full thousand years.

“By the way, Master, I’ve left a puppet Dharma body behind to cultivate in the Jade Cave.

If you need any help in the future, you can call it out.

Also, this jade talisman is the formation jade talisman for my cave abode in the Holy Mountain.

If you ever want to go to the Holy Mountain to cultivate, you can enter and exit at will with this token.”

Lu Qing handed a jade talisman to his master.

“Okay, I understand.” The old doctor accepted the talisman.

“Xiaoyan, I’ll be leaving now.”

Finally, Lu Qing rubbed Xiaoyan’s head once more

, summoned the Void Flying Boat, and flew in with Xiaoli and Wuxing.

Then, under Xiaoyan’s reluctant gaze, he transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky.
