I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 583

Chapter 583 Gan Lingxiao’s suspicion, strange secret realm

“That’s it!”

The two were both shocked by the scene ahead.

They saw a massive spatial vortex, seemingly embedded within the sacred mountain, slowly rotating.

The spatial vortex was incredibly vast, with powerful waves emanating from it. Humans seemed as small as ants before it.

“This must be the entrance to the newly revealed secret realm. I didn’t expect it to be so vast.”

Sensing the waves emanating from the spatial vortex, Lu Qing finally understood why those forces hadn’t suppressed the secret upon discovering the secret realm’s inception.

This was because these waves were simply beyond human control.

Even a powerful Yuanshen would seem dwarfed by these powerful spatial fluctuations.

Even a peak-level Yuanshen would be unable to conceal the fluctuations of the sacred mountain’s secret realm.

Lu Qing attempted to activate his supernatural power and peer into the spatial vortex.

However, after a long moment, no message emerged from it.

Perhaps it was due to the short time or the high level of this secret realm, much like Tianshu Divine Mountain itself. With his current abilities, he was unable to detect any information within.

As the two drew closer to the vortex, they saw numerous figures suspended in the air before the vast spatial vortex.

Some sat atop auspicious clouds, others rode on magical craft like flying boats, and some even stood in the air.

Some were in groups, while others stood alone.

Without exception, these figures exuded a powerful aura, awe-inspiring.

They were all powerful beings in the Soul Formation Realm!

It was only because the vortex’s immense power made them somewhat inconspicuous.

Sensing the power of those figures, Lu Qing and the others’ flight suddenly slowed.

“Master, do you think these powerful beings will prevent us from entering this secret realm?” Lu Qing inquired.

“That shouldn’t be the case.” Taoist Wubao was not quite sure. “According to the information I got from Tianshu City,

every cultivator is qualified to enter the secret realm on the Tianshu Divine Mountain.

This has been the unspoken rule accepted by many forces for tens of thousands of years.

It is said that the reason is that tens of thousands of years ago, some forces wanted to monopolize the opportunities in the Divine Mountain.

They joined forces to block the Divine Mountain and did not allow other cultivators to enter and explore.

As a result, a large number of independent cultivators were dissatisfied, and eventually an extremely fierce battle broke out.

A great battle was fought, and countless independent cultivators were killed in the midst of many Led by the spirits of the independent cultivators, they united and nearly crushed those major forces.

Had it not been for the final intervention of the Holy Alliance, their clans would have been annihilated.

From that moment on, no force dared to openly blockade Tianshu Divine Mountain.

Independent cultivators could freely enter and exit the mountain, exploring, cultivating, and seeking opportunities.

These powerful beings wouldn’t easily violate this rule.

Look, apart from these powerful spirits, there’s no one else here.

The independent cultivators from Tianshu City are nowhere to be seen either. They

must have already ventured into the secret realm. “

I see,”

Lu Qing thought, a sudden realization dawning on him.

If these forces hadn’t allowed independent cultivators to enter the secret realm, the news of the Divine Mountain’s impending secret realm wouldn’t have spread so widely, leading to the influx of countless independent cultivators.

“Then let’s move closer and see how these powerful beings react.”

The two slowly flew toward the spatial vortex. As they drew closer, they soon felt the gazes of many powerful beings resting on them.

The Five Treasures Taoist stiffened, his expression suddenly tense.

Lu Qing, though outwardly calm, was also nervous.

He even secretly prepared a teleportation talisman, ready to flee if he sensed anything was amiss.

Seeing that they were only two people in the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm, those Yuanshen Realm masters paid them no attention, their gazes withdrawing as they continued to gaze towards the spatial vortex.

Seeing this, Lu Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, with a respectful expression, they circled in a wide circle, slowly flying towards the spatial vortex.

Seeing their cautious demeanor, one Yuanshen Master couldn’t help but chuckle.

However, despite the chuckle, no one stopped them from approaching the spatial vortex.

Finally, watching the two figures disappear into the spatial vortex, one master smiled and shook his head.

“I don’t know where these two little guys got the news from, but they rushed here in such a hurry. They’re only entering now, so they might not even find a single spiritual herb.”

A powerful figure scoffed, “Two ignorant brats, only at the Initial Jindan stage, dare to join in the fun. They’re most likely going to die in there!”

“That’s not true. Perhaps these two little guys are just incredibly lucky and have been blessed with a good opportunity.

You know, the world of luck is so mysterious, even we can’t fathom it.

It’s like this Divine Mountain Secret Realm. We have the strength, but we can’t enter. That’s because we don’t have the opportunity.”

“How can we compare to these two mere Jindan realm mortals? Kong Mingzi, you’re really demeaning yourself.”

…

A group of powerful Yuanshen masters exchanged witty remarks, but Gan Lingxiao of the Qiankun Sect gazed thoughtfully toward the spatial vortex.

“Brother Lingxiao, what are you looking at?”

Gongshu Zheng, observing his expression, asked.

“I’m wondering if those two people are the ones Xiaojing and the others were talking about.”

“You mean, the cultivator who rescued Junior Sister Xiaojing and the others from Li Motian?” Gongshu Zheng was slightly stunned. “But didn’t they say that after Li Motian fell into the devil’s way, his strength had reached the late Jindan stage.

The cultivator who could kill him must be at least in the late Jindan stage.

But those two people just now were only in the early Jindan stage.”

“Maybe he used some rare treasure to hide his true cultivation level.” Gan Lingxiao said lightly, “Junior Sister Xiaojing and Junior Sister Qiaozhu waited for a long time yesterday, but they didn’t wait for the cultivator who saved them to show up.

In addition, they said that the man had been traveling with a fat Taoist priest recently.

The two people just now are very consistent with what Junior Sister Xiaojing and the others said.”

“That should be it.”

Gongshu Zheng nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Then a look of amusement crossed his face. “But to be able to conceal even our perception, it seems this person possesses a remarkable treasure concealing his cultivation.”

“Who wouldn’t have some secrets if they could cultivate to the late Jindan stage?

If you’re interested, Brother Zheng, you might as well wait for him to emerge and investigate on your own,”

Gan Lingxiao said nonchalantly.

“Brother Lingxiao, you’re right. This person has done a favor for your Qiankun Sect, so how could I be rude?” Gongshu Zheng chuckled.

“To be honest, Brother Zheng, I have some doubts about this person’s origins. Although he claimed to have saved Xiaojing and the others, the timing was incredibly clever.

Furthermore, he’s been so secretive about his origins, so I can’t help but doubt his motives.

But as Brother Zheng said, he’s still considered a benefactor to our Qiankun Sect, so I don’t want to offend him.

If Brother Zheng is willing to help investigate, that would be great.”

“It’s just a small matter. If these two can emerge alive from the secret realm, I’ll investigate for you,”

Gongshu Zheng agreed.

He was also quite interested in the treasure on the boy that could hide from his spiritual perception.

Lu Qing had no idea that, despite doing nothing, he had been targeted by two Yuanshen realm masters.

At this moment, he and the Five Treasures Taoist priest had already passed through the spatial vortex and entered the secret realm.

“Is this the interior of the secret realm?”

The two men concentrated their minds, dispelling the slight discomfort they had felt, and immediately began to survey their surroundings.

They discovered that they were now in a vast space.

At first glance, it seemed no different from the outside world.

There were flowers, trees, and mountain meadows, thriving with life.

And they were in the midst of a sparse forest.

But their expressions quickly changed.

“The spiritual energy in this secret realm is so thin?”

the Five Treasures Taoist priest exclaimed.

Lu Qing’s expression also grew solemn.

From his perception, the spiritual energy around him was extremely thin.

It was almost as dense as the spiritual energy in his home world, just after the first Heavenly Dao Sound resounded.

In contrast, the laws of the surrounding space were remarkably solid, even giving them a sense of heaviness.

Lu Qing gently waved his arm, slicing through the air with a heavy rustle.

He immediately confirmed that this wasn’t an illusion.

The surrounding space was indeed much more stagnant and heavy than the outside world.

This would not only significantly affect their flight speed, but also significantly increase the mana required to perform the Light Escape Technique.

“This is a bit ominous,” Lu Qing thought after testing it. “The spiritual energy in this secret realm is so thin, and the space is so solid.

Whether we’re traveling or using Taoist magic, the mana we need to consume is several times higher than usual.

This will not only greatly reduce the power of our magic, but

the consumed mana will have to be replenished with spirit stones.”

When a cultivator unleashes their Taoist magic, in addition to mobilizing their own mana, they often also cause the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to vibrate, creating a vast momentum and greatly increasing their power.

The spiritual energy in this secret realm is so thin, without the resonance of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, cultivators relying solely on their own mana to activate their magic will not only double their mana consumption, but also significantly weaken their power.

More importantly, they still hadn’t figured out why the environment of this secret realm was so bizarre.

“Strange, this new secret realm spawned by the Divine Mountain is so strange, the spiritual energy is so thin, this has never happened before.”

The Five Treasures Taoist priest standing nearby was also extremely puzzled.

Lu Qing’s heart stirred, and he asked, “Master, you’re saying this situation has never happened before?”

“No,” the Five Treasures Taoist priest shook his head. “I’ve been gathering a lot of information about secret realms spawned by the Divine Mountain in the past, but I’ve never seen a secret realm with spiritual energy so thin as this one.

Most of the secret realms that have appeared in the Divine Mountain’s history have been incredibly rich in spiritual energy.

This makes the secret realms so full of treasures that even a random weed could be found in the outside world and potentially be a valuable spiritual herb.

But now, look.”

The Five Treasures Taoist priest pulled a weed from the ground and sensed it.

“This is just the most ordinary weed. It lacks any spiritual energy, even less so than the weeds in the outer world.”

Lu Qing looked at the weed and could sense it was just another ordinary weed.

Even his supernatural powers revealed the same thing.

“That’s not all,” Lu Qing said with a heavy expression. “Master, there’s one more thing you’ve overlooked.”

“What is it?” Taoist Wubao was startled.

“Look behind you.”

Taoist Wubao looked back, but saw no movement, nothing moving. Everything was normal.

Just as he was wondering, Lu Qing said, “When we came in, we came through that spatial vortex. Where is the spatial vortex now?”

Taoist Wubao was shocked upon hearing this.

At this moment, Lu Qing’s remaining words reached his ears: “Without the spatial vortex, how are we supposed to get out?”

“Exactly!” Taoist Wubao’s face flashed with surprise. “Without the spatial vortex, wouldn’t we be unable to get out?

But why would that be? The information left behind in Tianshu City shows that the entrance to the secret realm shouldn’t disappear!”

“There are only two explanations,” Lu Qing analyzed calmly.

“One is that when we entered, the spatial vortex randomly teleported us to a certain location within the secret realm, not near the exit.”

“The other is that the spatial vortex only allows entry, not exit. If we want to escape, we’ll have to find another way.”

“But no matter which one, it’s clear that we won’t get the answers we need just by staying here.”

“Fellow Daoist Chen is right.” As Lu Qing analyzed, Taoist Wubao gradually calmed down.

“Whatever the reason, we have to take the initiative to search.”

“Then let’s first go to the sky to see what’s going on,” Lu Qing suggested.

“Alright.”

With that, the two of them transformed into streams of light and soared into the sky.

However, they had barely risen a hundred feet when their expressions changed again.

They discovered that flying, as they had imagined, consumed far more mana than in the outside world.

Even more shocking was that the higher they flew, the heavier the space around them became.

The mana required to maintain flight increased exponentially.

Simply ascending a hundred feet required ten times more mana than on the ground.

By the time they reached a thousand feet, the mana consumed with each breath was a hundred times greater than on the ground!

“No! This secret realm seems to forbid us from flying for extended periods. We have to descend.”

Lu Qing felt the mana within him being rapidly depleted, like snow under the sun. His expression suddenly changed.

Although his Perfect Golden Core had a strong foundation and his accumulated mana was far more formidable than that of a top-grade Golden Core,

if he continued to deplete it at this rate, he wouldn’t be able to sustain it for much longer.

“Okay!”

As for the Five Treasures Taoist, his situation was even more dire.

Although he had hidden a number of hidden cards,

he was already beginning to feel overwhelmed by such a massive consumption. He immediately agreed to Lu Qing’s suggestion and descended.

The two quickly descended to the ground, feeling the pressure around them weaken considerably, and breathed a sigh of relief.

When they first arrived, they had been somewhat unaccustomed to the heaviness of the surrounding space.

But compared to the sky, it was far easier.

Just now, when they reached a thousand feet in the sky, they felt as if the entire sky was bearing down on them.

“It seems that this secret realm is deliberately suppressing our cultivators’ abilities.”

After a short rest, Lu Qing seemed to have come to a realization.
