I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 517
Chapter 517: Harvesting inheritance, teleportation array
“Daoyou Lu Qing, huh? Not bad, not bad.
The entrance fee is one hundred low-grade spirit stones per person, or one medium-grade spirit stone.
Your two spirit pets are demon pill realm spirit beasts,
so they also need to pay a fee. Do you want to pay low-grade spirit stones or medium-grade spirit stones?”
The slightly plump old man smiled.
However, he did not ask the specific name of Lu Qing’s home world, nor did he ask about his purpose in coming to the Tianyuan World.
“Junior will pay medium-grade spirit stones.”
Hearing that three medium-grade spirit stones were required just for the entrance fee, Lu Qing felt a pang in his heart.
After this long journey, he didn’t have many spirit stones left.
The low-grade spirit stones had long been used up, and there were only a few medium-grade spirit stones left.
He didn’t expect that he would have to pay three medium-grade spirit stones just to enter the city.
But despite the pain in his heart, Lu Qing said nothing and respectfully took out three spirit stones and handed them over.
“Don’t be so distressed. If you want to enter the Xiaocang Realm, you’ll have to take the teleportation array.
Each teleportation costs a considerable amount.
Only one mid-grade spirit stone is quite a bargain.”
The slightly portly old man smiled and expertly put the spirit stone away, then produced three jade talismans.
“These jade talismans are your credentials for entering the city and teleporting. The teleportation array is in the center of the city.
Remember, no v*olence is allowed in the city.
As for what happens after you enter the Xiaocang Realm, I’m not responsible.”
The Xiaocang Realm was the name of the small world Lu Qing wanted to enter.
“Thank you, senior.”
Lu Qing respectfully accepted the jade talisman and bowed to the old man before heading back to the city with Xiao Li and the others.
A strange glint flashed in the old man’s eyes as he watched Lu Qing’s back.
“An ordinary, mid-grade, third-stage Jindan cultivator, yet he’s accompanied by two demon-stage spirit beasts.
Furthermore, those spirit beasts seem to be carrying secret artifacts that conceal their auras.
His cultivation is far more than that of a simple, first-stage, low-grade demon elixir cultivator.
Is this young man a direct descendant of a powerful family in some vast world, or perhaps a direct descendant of some powerful Yuanshen master, seeking experience?”
After pondering for a moment, the slightly portly old man shook his head, not wanting to delve into further details.
His current duty was merely that of a gatekeeper.
As long as the visitor wasn’t one of those demonic creatures across the way, he wouldn’t delve into their origins.
Whether Lu Qing was a disciple of an immortal sect from another vast world, a direct descendant of a powerful Yuanshen master, or
even a wanted criminal from another world,
it was none of his business.
After all, a mere Jindan realm cultivator couldn’t possibly cause a major disturbance.
If anything truly arose, others would naturally intervene.
He only needed to fulfill his duties of guarding the city gates and collecting entrance fees.
He could leave the rest to others.
He didn’t have many years left to live, so he might as well enjoy his remaining days.
“It seems even a mighty being at the Soul Realm wouldn’t be able to see through my disguise.”
Meanwhile, Lu Qing, who had already entered the city, breathed a sigh of relief.
He had naturally made ample preparations for this trip.
First and foremost, his own cultivation level.
His Perfect Golden Elixir was too profound. If it were discovered, it was hard to say what would happen.
Therefore, before arriving, he had already utilized the Perfect Golden Elixir’s innate ability to transform formlessly and in a myriad of ways,
reducing the power of his Mana Golden Elixir to that of a mid-grade Golden Elixir.
At the same time, he had also drawn a talisman on each of Xiao Li and Wu Xing’s demon elixirs.
These talismans were derived from his own Perfect Golden Elixir’s intangible and formless transformation abilities. They
also possessed the ability to disguise cultivation and change auras.
It now seemed that the mysteries he had comprehended from the Perfect Golden Elixir were truly miraculous.
Even a mighty being at the Soul Realm couldn’t see through his transformations.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that the old man was only sensing their auras with his spirit.
If the old man personally used his spiritual power to penetrate Lu Qing and the other two’s golden and demonic cores,
the top-grade demonic cores of Xiao Li and the others, besides Lu Qing, would likely reveal their true nature, making it impossible to conceal their true nature.
However, using spiritual power to penetrate the body and forcibly investigate another’s mana and golden cores is a grave taboo.
No cultivator would tolerate such a humiliating investigation.
Even the Tianyuan Great World would never commit such a taboo.
While ordinary cultivators might be
fine, if they accidentally offended a disciple from another great world, or even a powerful Yuanshen,
they would simply earn themselves an enemy.
Lu Qing understood this, and therefore enchanted Xiao Li and Wu Xing’s demonic cores with concealment talismans.
This way, even if the old man sensed a strange aura from Xiao Li and the others, he would generally not forcefully investigate their demonic cores.
After all, there are many cultivators who prefer to conceal their auras and keep a low profile.
As long as no demonic cultivators sneak in, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Things turned out just as Lu Qing had imagined. Although the old man saw a clue, he still let them in smoothly.
“This first level has been successfully passed. Next, we will take the teleportation array and enter the small world.”
Lu Qing toyed with the jade talisman in his hand.
This jade talisman served not only as a ticket to the city, but also as a ticket to the Xiaocang Realm.
Although the Starry Sky City was imposing, Lu Qing didn’t linger long.
After entering, he took Xiao Li and Wu Xing and headed straight for the city’s center.
It wasn’t long before they arrived.
There sat a massive jade platform, engraved with profound runes, forming a vast magical formation.
More than a dozen people waited before the platform, each exuding an extraordinary aura.
With the exception of a few young men who appeared to be following their elders to gain
some experience, the vast majority possessed at least the Jindan realm.
Lu Qing even spotted one middle-aged man whose aura was as imposing as a mountain and deep abyss, giving him a faint sense of danger.
A chill ran through his heart, realizing he must also be a powerful Yuanshen cultivator.
Lu Qing’s arrival naturally attracted the attention of the others.
Initially, seeing him as a mere third-rank, mid-grade Jindan cultivator, they didn’t take him too seriously.
When they saw Xiao Li being held by him, and Wu Xing lying on his shoulders, their expressions changed slightly.
After all, a Jindan-level spirit pet is still quite rare.
Especially since Lu Qing’s cultivation level did not seem to be very high, yet he could actually carry two Jindan-level spirit pets with him.
His identity and origins must be somewhat unusual.
But even so, no one said anything. After looking at Lu Qing for a few times, they went back to their own business.
On the contrary, on the jade platform, a young man wearing precious armor, who also had a Jindan-level cultivation level,
saw Lu Qing coming over and said, “Are you also going to enter the Xiaocang Realm? You have to wait a while. After thirty people are gathered, the teleportation array can be opened.”
After learning about it, Lu Qing finally understood.
It turns out the Starry Sky City teleportation array isn’t always available.
It only activates once at least thirty people have gathered.
Lu Qing understood this.
Each activation of the teleportation array inevitably consumes considerable energy, so it’s impossible to rashly activate it just for one or two people.
If that were the case, the medium-grade spirit stone they paid wouldn’t even cover the cost of the teleportation array once.
This suited Lu Qing perfectly; he was starving for an excuse to stay longer.
So, after thanking the armored youth, Lu Qing found a corner, sat cross-legged, and silently waited.
Xiao Li snuggled into his arms, while Wu Xing slipped into the hood of his robe.
After a long moment of silence, sensing no one was paying attention, Lu Qing quietly opened his eyes.
With a hint of excitement in his eyes, he gazed towards the teleportation jade platform.
Of course, he wasn’t looking at the platform itself, but at the incredibly profound rune array engraved upon it.
The moment he first laid eyes on the runes on the Jade Teleportation Platform, his heart trembled. He
simply couldn’t show it in front of so many powerful beings.
He’d been thinking about finding a reason to observe and learn.
Unexpectedly, the Jade Teleportation Platform would only activate when a sufficient number of people were present. This presented him with a tremendous opportunity.
“Teleportation Array…”
Lu Qing’s heart burned, and he silently activated his supernatural powers, contemplating the mysterious runes.
Soon, a rich purple supernatural light emerged from the Jade Teleportation Platform, and several messages floated out.
[Teleportation Jade Platform: A magical artifact engraved with a teleportation array, capable of spatial teleportation.]
[Teleportation arrays involve the laws of space and are difficult to master without profound mastery of arrays. ]
[This Jade Teleportation Platform is a directional teleportation artifact, capable of only teleporting to a fixed location.]
[This Jade Teleportation Platform is a short-distance teleportation artifact, with a limited range.]
[Inheritance discovered, would you like to download and simulate?]
…
When Lu Qing saw the last message, a subtle smile crossed his face.
He immediately chose Download.
[Downloading, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.] [
Download completed, do you want to simulate?]
Lu Qing then chose Simulate.
[Simulating, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.]
[Simulation completed, do you want to study?]
Lu Qing glanced around, seeing no one was paying attention.
He reached out and touched Xiao Li’s head, telepathically transmitting, “Xiao Li, protect me and pay attention to the surroundings.”
Xiao Li’s ears twitched slightly, knowing from years of tacit understanding that Ah Qing was about to comprehend something again.
He didn’t move, but simply gave a soft “hmm” through telepathic transmission, indicating understanding.
Lu Qing then chose Study and closed his eyes.
The next moment, a flood of insights surged from the depths of his mind.
Lu Qing absorbed and comprehended this information expertly, entering a deep state of cultivation.
Half an hour later, Lu Qing opened his eyes, eyes filled with wonder.
“This teleportation formation is truly profound! It can actually use the power of the formation to activate the laws of space, achieving teleportation.”
Lu Qing was deeply shocked.
You know, the way of space is extremely profound. Even a powerful Yuan Shen realm master must have advanced far in the Yuan Shen realm
to be qualified to comprehend the profound laws of space.
But this teleportation formation did not require such a cumbersome process.
As long as the formation was correctly arranged, the runes could communicate with the laws of space, and the power of space could be activated, teleportation could be achieved.
“Although the Void Flying Boat possesses the ability to travel through the void, more than half of that is due to its unique material.
The formations contained within are secondary.
But this teleportation formation is truly tangible, relying on the power of the formation to achieve teleportation.
If I can fully comprehend it, my attainments in rune formations will surely deepen significantly.
Even my Soul Talismans can officially enter the mid-level realm of [Yang Fu]!”
Lu Qing was delighted.
He had originally thought that only by entering the Tianyuan Great World could he have the opportunity to seek out those profound inheritances.
Unexpectedly, he had already gained such a wealth of knowledge before officially entering the Xiaocang Realm.
This further solidified Lu Qing’s resolve to enter the Tianyuan Great World.
With supernatural powers, that vast world filled with adventures and opportunities is his true, unparalleled treasure land!
After a while, Lu Qing calmed down and closed his eyes again to contemplate.
This teleportation formation was incredibly profound, and he had only just briefly grasped it.
He still had a long way to go before he could truly comprehend and master it.
Since he didn’t know how long it would take to gather enough people to activate the teleportation array, he might as well use this time to truly comprehend it.
“What did Ah Qing comprehend that made him so happy?”
Xiao Li, curled up in Lu Qing’s arms, felt a little puzzled as he saw Lu Qing enter a state of meditation again.
Although Lu Qing had concealed his emotional fluctuations well, they couldn’t be hidden from Xiao Li, who was so close and perceptive.
From his understanding of Lu Qing, it was clear that Lu Qing had just comprehended something extraordinary.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so happy.
The next few days passed quietly as Lu Qing silently contemplated the world.
Meanwhile, other powerful individuals continued to arrive at the teleportation platform.
Some of them approached, seeking to chat and make friends, but after Lu Qing politely declined twice, the others tactfully stopped coming.
Several days passed, and finally, thirty people gathered around the platform.
“Everyone, thirty have gathered. The teleportation array can be activated. Please stand in the center of the platform,”
the armored youth said after waiting for another half a day and seeing no one else approach.
Hearing this, the powerful individuals waiting around rose and walked toward the center of the platform.
During this process, the unfamiliar cultivators kept their distance.
Fortunately, the platform was large enough to accommodate thirty people, even at a distance.
Lu Qing opened his eyes, stood up, and walked forward.
A faint sense of joy welled in his heart.
After several days of contemplation, he had already grasped the teleportation formation to a profound level.
Once he had enough materials, he should be able to truly deploy the formation.
“Everyone, the power of space is formidable. Even with the protection of the formation, you will inevitably experience discomfort during teleportation. Please be mindful,”
the armored youth warned, then produced a token.
As his magical power poured in, the token suddenly emitted a strange wave.
The entire teleportation jade platform emanated bursts of light.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Qing felt the sudden emergence of a powerful spatial force, and a spatial vortex suddenly emerged, engulfing them all.
