I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 569

Chapter 569: Encounter, re-entering the inheritance illusion, “Seven Stars”

Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist arrived at the peak.

They discovered that its considerable height was due to the artificial removal of its upper half

, leaving the summit as a wide, flat platform.

Descending, they saw several people already seated cross-legged on the platform, facing the three large characters “Tianshu City” directly before them. Some closed their

eyes in deep thought, while others stared intently at the words, seemingly entranced.

Clearly, they, too, were comprehending the Dao essence within the inscriptions of “Tianshu City.”

After all, while the legends of the inherited sword arts were ethereal and illusory,

the sword essence contained within these inscriptions was truly tangible.

The sword essence left behind by the Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit was truly profound.

If they could even grasp a glimpse of its meaning, it would greatly benefit their cultivation.

Lu Qing and the others quietly descended onto the platform, not disturbing the others.

A few cultivators glanced up at them, but the majority remained absorbed in their contemplation, ignoring their presence.

Anyway, those who can come to Guanli Peak will not have anything else to do except comprehend the essence of the calligraphy.

Moreover, this place is already the territory of Tianshu City, and ordinary people dare not cause trouble here.

Seeing this, Lu Qing and his companions were very tactful and planned to find a more secluded corner to meditate.

However, at this moment, Lu Qing heard a surprised cry: “Brother Chen!”

He was slightly startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw several familiar figures looking at him with surprise. They

were none other than the disciples of Qiankun Sect who he had rescued not long ago.

“Daoyou met an acquaintance?” Taoist Wubao asked.

“We have met once.”

Lu Qing looked at the young girls who were walking towards them in small and fast steps with great surprise.

Didn’t these people go back to the sect to recuperate? How did they run ahead of him and arrive in Tianshu City before him?

He remembered that the location of Qiankun Sect was not in Tianshu Continent.

“Brother Chen, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon,”

the young woman, or rather, Chu Xiaojing, trotted over to Lu Qing, beaming with joy.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chen.”

Senior Sister Ye and the purple-robed youth also bowed respectfully to Lu Qing.

Senior Sister Ye, in particular, had a glint of surprise in her eyes.

Before coming to Tianshu Continent, she had fantasized about running into Lu Qing again.

She hadn’t expected to actually run into him the moment she arrived.

Taoist Wubao, observing this scene, was slightly startled.

From the insignia on the purple-robed youth’s robes, he had guessed they were disciples of the Qiankun Sect.

The Qiankun Sect was no small sect.

It was renowned throughout the Tianyuan World, considered a top-tier sect.

Even the elite disciples of such a major sect seemed to treat Lu Qing with the utmost respect.

This surprised Taoist Wubao, and the mystery surrounding Lu Qing intensified.

“Everyone, I didn’t expect to meet you again so soon,” Lu Qing said politely.

“Did Fellow Daoist Chen also come to the secret realm of Tianshu Divine Mountain?” the purple-robed young man asked.

“Yes, while traveling, I heard that a new secret realm was brewing on Tianshu Divine Mountain, so I decided to come and see what was going on.”

Lu Qing answered calmly, without denying anything.

“That’s perfect. We’re planning to enter the secret realm as well. Brother Chen, why don’t we go in together?” Chu Xiaojing said happily.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Wubao, who had been smiling and watching them reminisce about the past, changed his expression slightly.

Without waiting for Lu Qing to reply, he hurriedly said, “Everyone, Fellow Daoist Chen has decided to explore the secret realm with me. I’m afraid it won’t be convenient for me to accompany you.”

“Who is this…”

Chu Xiaojing and the others only then noticed the fat Taoist standing next to Lu Qing.

“My Taoist name is Wubao, nice to meet you,” Taoist Wubao said with a bow.

“Taoist Wubao?”

The purple-robed young man and the others, upon hearing this Taoist name, pondered it, realizing they had never heard of it before.

However, the Tianyuan World was so vast, with countless cultivators, even the most talented cultivators.

It was understandable that they hadn’t heard of it.

Therefore, without hesitation, they all bowed to Taoist Wubao and said, “Greetings, Taoist Wubao.”

“Taoist Wubao, you just said that Brother Chen wants to enter the secret realm with you?” Chu Xiaojing asked.

“Well…”

Taoist Wubao was speechless, looking at Lu Qing.

He had only said that in a moment of impatience.

But now, he didn’t dare to overstep his bounds.

Lu Qing watched on amused.

Although he hadn’t formally agreed to enter the secret realm with Taoist Wubao, he didn’t expose him at this point.

Instead, he nodded slightly and said, “Yes, Taoist Wubao and I hit it off immediately. We have a lot of chemistry, so we decided to enter the secret realm together to broaden our horizons.”

“That doesn’t stop us from going together. More people means more support,” Chu Xiaojing continued.

Lu Qing didn’t answer, just smiled.

At this time, Senior Sister Ye called out softly, “Xiao Jing, stop messing around. We still have to go and meet up with Senior Brother and the others. How can we bother Fellow Daoist Chen any further?”

“Yes, Senior Sister,” Chu Xiaojing pouted, a little aggrieved.

Senior Brother?

Lu Qing’s heart stirred slightly at the thought.

He remembered a note he had previously unearthed from Li Motian.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, Xiaojing likes to play around. Please forgive me,” Senior Sister Ye apologized to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing shook his head. “Not at all. Fellow Daoist Ye, don’t worry about it.”

“Fellow Daoist Chen, did you come to Guanli Peak to comprehend the inscriptions of ‘Tianshu City’?” Senior Sister Ye asked.

“Yes, I heard that these inscriptions contain the swordsmanship of a great spirit being, so I’ve come to witness it.”

“Fellow Daoist Chen’s swordsmanship is divine. I’m afraid you will gain a great deal from comprehending these inscriptions. Perhaps you can even obtain the legendary swordsmanship inheritance,” Senior Sister Ye couldn’t help but say.

The purple-robed young man and the others, remembering how Lu Qing had slain Li Motian with a single sword strike, nodded in agreement.

With Lu Qing’s swordsmanship, comprehending the swordsmanship implications of the calligraphy might actually yield some insights.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, you’re too kind,” Lu Qing chuckled. “For so many years, countless peerless geniuses have been unable to obtain the legacy contained within the calligraphy. How could I possibly deserve such a privilege?”

Suddenly, an impatient voice rang out:

“You youngsters, please be so noisy! This is Guanli Peak, the place for contemplating calligraphy.

If you wish to reminisce, please go elsewhere. Do not disturb others’ cultivation!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a thin, middle-aged man in a black robe and a long, dark mustache.

He gazed at them indifferently, his eyes filled with impatience.

The other practitioners contemplating the calligraphy, startled awake, also looked over. Those

who could come to Guanli Peak to contemplate the calligraphy were at least Golden Core Realm experts.

Being suddenly watched by so many powerful cultivators, even Senior Sister Ye, who was at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, felt quite pressured.

At this time, Lu Qing stood up and bowed gently.

“Fellow Daoist, your teaching is correct. We were ignorant and disturbed you all. Please forgive us.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s sincerity, the other cultivators let it go and continued to contemplate the calligraphy.

Only the thin, black-robed middle-aged man seemed still angry, staring coldly at Lu Qing and the others.

“Senior, is there anything else?” Lu Qing asked.

“Hmph!” To his surprise, the black-robed middle-aged man simply snorted and closed his eyes.

He had been inexplicably annoyed by the flattery heaped on a junior cultivator at the third level of the Golden Core Realm. However

, upon seeing the insignia on Senior Sister Ye’s and the others’ robes, he knew they were from the Qiankun Sect, and so he held his temper.

While he might not have taken these junior cultivators’ cultivation seriously, the Qiankun Sect was renowned.

Its strength was among the highest in the nearby continents. It was not something a casual Jindan cultivator like him could afford to provoke.   Seeing the black-robed middle-aged man hadn’t lashed out again,

he realized he was a member of the Qiankun Sect.   Lu Qing whispered to Senior Sister Ye and the others, “Everyone, let’s go over there and not disturb these seniors from their meditation.”   Senior Sister Ye and the others nodded quickly.   Among those who had just looked towards them were powerful cultivators in the late Jindan stage.   If such a powerful being became angry, they would be no match for them.   So, they didn’t dare to speak again and followed Lu Qing to a secluded corner of the platform.   ”Everyone, let’s contemplate the calligraphy here,” Lu Qing said softly.   ”Okay,”   Senior Sister Ye and the others responded.   They had only just arrived and hadn’t even begun to comprehend the calligraphy yet.   So, they all sat down cross-legged in a corner, contemplating the three large characters engraved on the vast mountain across the way.   Lu Qing did the same, holding Xiao Li in his arms.   Unlike the others, however, he quietly activated his supernatural power and gazed at the three characters.   As Lu Qing watched, a rich aura of supernatural power soon emerged from the three characters, and several messages floated out.   [Dao Yun Handwriting: Handwritten and engraved by a Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit, imbued with Dao essence.]   [This handwriting was personally inscribed and engraved by the Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit, “Qixingzi,” 40,000 years ago.]   [Qixingzi was the eighteenth Lord of Tianshu City, possessing astonishing cultivation and mastering the art of swordsmanship.]   [When this handwriting was inscribed, “Qixingzi” had just broken through. His agitated mind imbued the handwriting with Dao essence, which persisted for tens of thousands of years.]   [Inheritance discovered, download and simulate?]   …   As Lu Qing read through the messages, a smile crossed his face.   It seemed that the Five Treasures Taoist had been right; this handwriting indeed contained the swordsmanship inheritance of the Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit.   However, it was different from what people imagined.   The elder “Seven Stars” hadn’t intentionally left behind a legacy.   Rather, in his turmoil, he had inadvertently incorporated his understanding of the sword path into the handwriting.   Perhaps this was why, for tens of thousands of years, no one had been able to obtain the complete legacy from the handwriting.   After a moment’s inward sigh, Lu Qing looked at the final message and silently chose to download it.   [Download started, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.]   [Download completed, do you want to simulate?]   Lu Qing immediately chose to simulate.   [Simulation started, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.]   [Simulation completed, do you want to begin studying?]   Lu Qing glanced around, seeing everyone quietly contemplating.   He quietly sent a telepathic message to Xiao Li’s soul, asking it to protect him.   Xiao Li wasn’t surprised. He had long anticipated that Ah Qing’s comprehension was beyond common sense.   He was sure to gain some insights from contemplating the handwriting.   After giving Xiao Li his instructions, Lu Qing chose to study.   The next moment, a flood of insights surged from the depths of his mind.   Simultaneously, his consciousness suddenly darkened, entering a mysterious dimension.   When Lu Qing regained consciousness, he found himself suspended in mid-air before a massive mountain.   The mountain’s shape was identical to the one bearing the three colossal characters “Tianshu City.”   However, the cliffs were now flat, devoid of any inscriptions.   Lu Qing sensed this again and discovered he had transformed into an elderly man in a star-studded robe, yet he was completely unable to control this body. He   exclaimed, “As expected.”   He had once again entered the illusionary realm, possessing the body of “Seven Stars,” the powerful Five Tribulations Spirit from tens of thousands of years ago.   ”After a thousand years of seclusion, I’ve finally achieved something. I’ve entered the Five Tribulations realm. Today’s joy is finally revealed!”   At Lu Qing’s perception, “Seven Stars” gazed up at the sky, beaming with joy.   ”Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! You’ve finally broken through the barrier and successfully transcended the tribulation!”   A chorus of congratulations echoed from below.   Lu Qing used his spiritual senses to sense the situation. Wow! A number of people were standing in a row on a mountain peak below.   Each one exuded an extraordinary aura, at least those at the Golden Core Realm.   The auras of those standing in the front were even more terrifying, completely surpassing the Golden Core Realm.

They were all powerful beings in the Soul Formation Realm.

Lu Qing recognized the peak they stood on: it was the Guanli Peak, which had not yet been chopped off.

“Master, you have entered the Five Tribulations Realm, reaching the level of the most powerful in this Tianyuan World.

Under your leadership, our Tianshu City will surely achieve even greater glory.

Even if we completely capture Tianshu Divine Mountain, no one will dare to say anything!”

At this time, a Soul Formation disciple from “Qixingzi” spoke excitedly.

However, in response to his disciple’s emotional words, “Qixingzi” sighed.

“Even if we take over Tianshu Sacred Mountain, what’s the point?

After entering the Five Tribulations, Master finally understood the vastness of the path of cultivation.

The Five Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit are merely the starting point of the Primordial Spirit Path.

Master’s potential has been exhausted, and it’s already difficult for him to advance further in the Primordial Spirit Realm.”

“Then we must take over Tianshu Sacred Mountain,” the disciple said anxiously. “The sacred mountain is mysterious and possesses incredible power. There are

even rumors in ancient times that it was left by immortals.

If Master can take over it and carefully explore and comprehend it, perhaps he can glimpse the secrets within and gain greater opportunities.”

“You don’t understand.”

“Qixingzi” shook his head again.
