I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 590

Chapter 590: Secret Realm Situation, Ancient Ruins

“Shut up!”

Lu Qing’s icy voice trembled, and everyone’s heart shuddered. They fell silent, no longer daring to beg for mercy.

But the next moment, a scene unfolded that horrified them even more.

Lu Qing flicked his arm, a gentle breeze wafting past.

With a bang, the man who had been standing there suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood, his body utterly destroyed.

Everyone was instantly horrified.

They finally understood why, aside from the man, the others had vanished, leaving only a few pools of blood on the ground.

So, they’d all been crushed by Lu Qing!

He could easily crush several Jindan cultivators, even in this strange and mysterious realm, with no regard for the mana consumed.

It was immediately clear to everyone.

The young man before them, clutching a strange spirit beast, must be a top-tier Jindan cultivator.

Just like Ba Tian of the Tyrant Clan, Chen Cangfeng of the Heavenly Sword Clan, and the Biluo Saint of the Biluo Palace.

He was a formidable being, standing at the pinnacle of all cultivators entering the secret realm.

Only one with such immense magical power, a formidable background, a vast fortune, and abundant spiritual stones could dare to squander such lavishly in this strange secret realm.

This sent shockwaves through everyone’s hearts.

Someone like Lu Qing was practically invincible within this strange secret realm.

Controlling them would be a piece of cake.

Some immediately began to beg for mercy, but Lu Qing’s cold gaze swept over them, and everyone involuntarily shut their mouths, refusing to act rashly.

Looking at the seven or eight people being suppressed, Lu Qing activated his supernatural powers and peered over them.

He had just used his [Psychedelic] ability to glean considerable information from the man’s soul. He

had a general idea of the current situation within the secret realm, but there were still some matters he wanted to ask these people first.

As Lu Qing used his supernatural powers to review the information of each person before him, the immobilized cultivators felt an uncontrollable chill run through their hearts.

It was as if all their secrets were exposed to the young man’s gaze.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qing was reviewing the information when his gaze suddenly turned cold. He

glared at one of them with disgust.

“You, damn it!”

He said, with a flick of his hand. Before the man could react, he was disintegrated into a cloud of blood.

Seeing Lu Qing’s sudden killing move, the others were even more horrified.

But they remained silent, their gazes filled with growing fear.

By then, they had come to believe Lu Qing was a terrifying figure with unpredictable moods, who delighted in torturing and killing cultivators.

Therefore, they dared not move, fearing that they would anger him.

Fortunately, after beheading the man, Lu Qing stopped killing him.

Instead, he said calmly, “Tell me everything that happened after entering the secret realm. Whoever satisfies me, I’ll consider sparing their life.”

Hearing these words, everyone’s heart trembled, their eyes brightening, a sudden desire for life rising within them.

“I wonder what you, senior, wish to know? We will tell you everything!” one of them asked hurriedly.

“Tell us everything you know. If you conceal anything, you know the consequences.”

These words immediately made everyone tremble. They immediately rushed to tell their stories, fearing that if they were slow

, they would anger Lu Qing and be crushed into a bloody mist.

As they spoke, combined with the information he had just received from the man’s spirit,

Lu Qing gradually gained a clearer understanding of the current situation in the secret realm.

It turned out that the secret realm had suddenly opened prematurely that day, and everyone had hurried to the sacred mountain and entered the secret realm.

Only after entering did they discover the strangeness of this secret realm.

Not only would they land anywhere within the secret realm upon entering, but

more importantly, the spiritual energy within this secret realm was incredibly thin, and the spatial rules were extremely bizarre.

This meant that the mana consumed by those practicing Daoist magic or even flying was ten, dozens, or even a hundred times greater than in the outside world!

The exotic beasts within this secret realm were equally extraordinary, each possessing exceptionally powerful bodies.

Many Foundation Establishment Realm beasts possessed physical strength even greater than those of Jindan Realm cultivators.

Consequently, many cultivators, caught off guard upon encountering these exotic beasts, were crushed to pieces and killed instantly.

Three members of Scar Liu’s team perished due to this very reason, shortly after entering the secret realm.

The thin spiritual energy, bizarre rules, and the extremely dangerous exotic beasts

within this secret realm meant that countless cultivators suffered setbacks on their first day.

The horrific living conditions immediately discouraged many cultivators, who considered abandoning this opportunity and leaving the secret realm.

However, something even more terrifying occurred: they couldn’t find a way out of the secret realm.

Not only had the spatial vortex that had brought them in vanished without a trace, leaving them untraceable.

Even the secret realms that had once appeared on the sacred mountain, where one could obtain the secret realm pearl by slaying the spirit beast within, seemed to be ineffective in this strange realm.

Those powerful beasts simply couldn’t contain the secret realm pearls!

Consequently, no one knew how to leave this strange realm.

Tens of thousands of cultivators were trapped in this secret realm!

“So, you all don’t know how to leave?”

Lu Qing frowned after listening to the others’ stories.

“Senior, that’s true. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have resorted to robbing other Daoists. We’ve been battling those strange beasts these days, and our elixirs and spirit stones are almost exhausted. To survive, we’ve had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure,”

a Jindan realm cultivator replied cautiously.

“Indeed, besides us, there are many cultivators in the secret realm who have already begun robbing. No one knows when they’ll be able to leave this strange place, so everyone wants to stockpile as many spirit stones and elixirs as possible to last longer,”

another Jindan realm cultivator echoed.

By now, everyone had realized that Lu Qing must have been teleported to a remote area upon entering the secret realm.

Or perhaps he had just arrived.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seemed completely unaware of the situation there.

Lu Qing remained silent for a moment.

He had not imagined that the situation in the secret realm would be so bad. His previous premonition had become a reality.

The cultivators who entered the secret realm were trapped in this trial secret realm because they could not find a way out.

Without the replenishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and with their mana being increasingly depleted, the demand for spirit stones and elixirs became increasingly strong.

Now it has developed to the point where they have begun to rob each other.

“You said that there is no way to leave the secret realm. Don’t the Daozi and Saintess of those major forces have any clues?” Lu Qing asked.

“This is not something we can know. The Daozi and Saintess of those major forces are not something that we casual cultivators can contact.”

This answer made Lu Qing pause slightly, but he thought about it and it made sense.

Given the strength of those Daoist Sons and Saintess, they probably wouldn’t bother with these independent cultivators who were only at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm.

In fact, given the current situation in the secret realm, independent cultivators might even have to avoid those major forces.

After all, who can guarantee that the other party won’t rely on their strength to rob them?

“However, we see that those major forces don’t seem to be worried about the situation in this secret realm. They are still keen to explore this secret realm. Some forces have already advanced deep into the secret realm.

Therefore, some people speculate that those major forces may know a way to leave the secret realm, but they are keeping it secret.”

At this time, a Jindan Realm cultivator said again.

“Oh, is this true?” Lu Qing’s heart moved, “You said that those big forces are exploring the secret realm?”

“Yes, we, the independent cultivators, are timid in front of those powerful monsters. We dare not get involved too much, for fear that we will use up all our magic power and even have difficulty surviving.

But the Taoist sons and saints of those big forces all have profound backgrounds, and they carry countless spirit stones and elixirs on them.

Naturally, they will not worry about running out of magic power, and there is no need to leave the secret realm in a hurry.

Although this secret realm is weird, it must have its magical features.

For example, there is an ancient relic in this deep mountain, and now many forces have gone in to explore.”

“There is an ancient relic in this mountain, what kind of relic is it?”

Lu Qing’s expression moved, and he asked immediately.

“I don’t know,” the Jindan realm cultivator shook his head. “The ruins are extremely strange. Just the outer perimeter has a very powerful distribution pattern.

Every step deeper consumes a huge amount of mana.

Plus, there are many powerful exotic beasts guarding the area. It’s simply not something we, casual cultivators of the initial Jindan realm, can venture into.

Even some weaker factions don’t dare to go too deep,

only exploring the outer perimeter slowly…”

As the Jindan realm cultivator recounted his story, Lu Qing realized that, with so many cultivators exploring these days, they had made quite a few discoveries.

Several ancient ruins alone had been discovered.

However, these casual cultivators had been in these mountains since entering the secret realm, and they had only heard of the other ruins from other cultivators, never having seen them in person.

Furthermore, as time went on, due to the thinning spiritual energy and the shortage of spirit stones and elixirs,

the situation within the secret realm grew tense. The casual cultivators were either plundering each other or becoming wary of one another.

The atmosphere of frequent information sharing that existed when they first entered was no longer there.

After listening to the Jindan realm cultivator’s account, Lu Qing paused for a moment.

“In other words, while most independent cultivators in the secret realm are currently struggling for survival, the larger factions are still leisurely exploring the realm.

This suggests they may possess information on how to leave this secret realm.”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Qing continued, “So, which factions within these mountains are currently exploring the ancient ruins?”

Lu Qing continued his questioning, and only stopped when he had gathered all the information he desired.

The cultivators fell silent, looking anxiously at Lu Qing.

During their earlier conversation, they had discovered that the young man before them wasn’t the perverted, moody, and murderous individual they had imagined.

But who knew if this was all a facade?

Therefore, they remained unsure whether Lu Qing would ultimately release them.

Seeing Lu Qing seemingly lost in thought, no one dared to disturb him.

They could only wait anxiously, quietly, and await their fate.

Lu Qing stood there, slowly processing the information he had just received.

After a while, he felt a sense of order in his mind, and finally looked up at the crowd before him.

The group of cultivators immediately felt a chill in their hearts, anxiously awaiting Lu Qing’s announcement of their final fate.

Seeing the expressions of fear and flattery on the faces of these cultivators, Lu Qing sighed inwardly.

With his cultivation level, he could naturally discern that what these cultivators said was basically the truth.

Furthermore, much of the information he had previously obtained from the man’s spirit was consistent with this.

They had indeed lived up to their expectations, telling him everything they knew and not deceiving him.

Therefore, he decided to spare these people this time.

Facing the expectant gazes of the wandering cultivators, Lu Qing said calmly, “Very good, you’ve been quite honest and haven’t spoken nonsense. I’ll let you off this time.

However, the due punishment will still be inflicted.

Wait, you all hand over to me all the cultivation methods you carry.

If I’m satisfied, I’ll let you go. Are you willing?”

“Yes, yes! We do!”

Upon hearing this, the wandering cultivators nodded in agreement, no one daring to disagree.

After all, compared to their lives, a mere cultivation method was nothing.

In this strange and mysterious realm, even spirit stones and elixirs were more precious than cultivation methods.

They would be willing to trade their cultivation methods for their lives, let alone their lives, even for spirit stones and elixirs.

So, after the wandering cultivators had handed over all the jade slips of their cultivation methods, Lu Qing gently waved his hand and removed the sealing force from their bodies.

“Alright, you can all go.” “Thank you,

senior, for your magnanimity!”

“Thank you, senior, for sparing my life!”

The independent cultivators were immediately overjoyed and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.

Then they immediately used their body skills to flee far away.

They were afraid that if they were a little slower, Lu Qing would change his mind.

Some of the fearful independent cultivators didn’t even care about the consumption of their mana, and directly turned into streams of light to escape.

After all the independent cultivators had left, Lu Qing turned around and looked at the Five Treasures Taoist. He

saw that the Five Treasures Taoist was standing up, but he had already recovered after regulating his breathing.

However, he saw that Lu Qing was interrogating those independent cultivators, so he did not stand up.

“Master, you heard what they said just now, what do you think?”

Lu Qing had naturally sensed that the Five Treasures Taoist had recovered his breathing, so he was not surprised.

“According to what those independent cultivators said, those big forces may really know something. If we want to leave the secret realm, I’m afraid we can only start with them.”

The Five Treasures Taoist analyzed.
