I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 613

Chapter 613: The Mysterious Voice in the Bone Mountain, No Way Out

“It can even withstand the evil energy of the fifth joint. This spirit beast is definitely a royal-level spirit beast with ancient bloodline!”

“Rumor has it that the spirit beasts of the Demon Realm place great value on bloodline inheritance. If anyone awakens an ancient bloodline, they will immediately be crowned a royal.”

“Indeed, the royals of the demon race are actually equivalent to the Daozi of the major factions of our human race. They are all peerless geniuses with great potential to achieve the realm of Yuan Shen.”

“Could it be that this spirit beast is the bloodline of a royal member of the demon race that has been lost?”

“If that is the case, once the news spreads, this spirit beast will probably cause quite a stir. Not only will the demon race be alarmed, but even many powerful people in our human race will be tempted.”

“Indeed, a spirit beast with ancient bloodline has enormous potential. If it grows smoothly, it will almost certainly reach the Yuan Shen realm. Who wouldn’t want such a spirit pet?”

The powerful beings looked at Xiao Li with astonishment.

Some even showed a look of greed in their eyes.

With such immense potential, if one could preemptively enslave the soul of such a spirit beast, it would be practically equivalent to possessing a future Spirit Realm spirit beast.

Such a temptation would be hard to resist, even for a Spirit Realm powerhouse.

Unbeknownst to Lu Qing, Xiao Li’s outstanding performance had sparked considerable interest among the powerful warriors below.

He and Xiao Li were climbing the stairs, step by step.

Lu Qing was fine; as those below had guessed, the repressive force and evil spirit below ten vertebrae posed little pressure on him.

He was primarily concerned with Xiao Li’s condition.

If Xiao Li could no longer hold on, he would immediately collect her into the Lihuo Cauldron.

While the opportunity was good, Xiao Li was more important to him.

After reaching the fifth vertebrae, Xiao Li’s effort was noticeably greater than before, but fortunately, it wasn’t yet at the point of collapse.

Following Lu Qing, she slowly climbed the stairs.

By the junction of the fifth and sixth vertebrae, both the evil spirit and the repressive force were nearing the limit of Xiao Li’s endurance.

After all, although it had condensed a flawless, innate, top-grade demon elixir, its cultivation was still relatively shallow, currently at the peak of the second stage of the Golden Core Realm.

This fifth vertebra had already eliminated most of the mid-stage Golden Core experts below.

Xiao Li had been able to reach this point at the second stage of the

Golden Core Realm. If its true level were revealed, the Golden Core experts below would likely be shocked and question their lives.

As Xiao Li leaped upward and officially stepped onto the sixth vertebra, its entire body trembled violently, nearly losing its balance.

Immediately, a mysterious aura emanated from it.

Xiao Li’s figure suddenly shrank, instantly stabilizing itself.

This was Xiao Li unleashing his innate magical power, [Size and Size], which dramatically increased his physical strength, defense, and power, allowing him to withstand the pressure and negative energy from the staircase.

As for his spatial magical power, it was of little use on this mountain of bones.

Firstly, this space was incredibly solid; even Xiao Li’s innate magical powers would have been unable to break through and enter.

Secondly, climbing Bone Mountain inherently meant accepting its tests.

Hiding in the subspace would likely be unacceptable to Bone Mountain.

“Xiao Li, are you all right?” Lu Qing asked.

“After using my magical powers, my strength has increased significantly. I can withstand the pressure and evil energy of this joint, but my mana is also rapidly depleting. Ah Qing, we may have to climb faster,”

Xiao Li telegraphed to Lu Qing.

“Then let’s speed up a bit.”

Lu Qing nodded, then began to move forward, accelerating upwards, with Xiao Li bouncing behind him.

“Why is it speeding up?”

“It’s actually speeding up at the sixth joint. What’s the logic behind this?”

“That spirit beast can actually keep up. It must be an alien spirit beast with ancient bloodline!”

Lu Qing and Xiao Li’s increased speed immediately surprised the powerful warriors watching from below.

Previously, when they climbed Bone Mountain, their speed slowed down the higher they climbed. By the end, it was no exaggeration to say that every step was arduous.

But Lu Qing and his spirit pet, on the other hand, were climbing faster and faster the higher they went. How did they do it?

“What a pace! They’re almost at the seventh joint!”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Qing and Xiao Li increased their speed and quickly climbed upwards, soon reaching the junction of the sixth and seventh joints.

Then, without stopping, they crossed that boundary.

After officially reaching the seventh joint, Lu Qing and the others’ speed began to slow down again. This

was mainly due to the increased pressure and evil spirit, making it difficult for Xiao Li, even with his innate magical powers, to achieve this.

“Ah Qing, I may not be able to reach the eighth joint,” Xiao Li said with some difficulty.

His fur and tail tip were trembling.

“No problem, go as high as you can. This will be a rare experience for you,” Lu Qing encouraged.

“Yes, I know,” Xiao Li nodded seriously.

It also felt that under such pressure, if it could persevere to the end, it would reap significant rewards.

Therefore, Xiao Li refused to give up until he reached his true limit.

With this in mind, Xiao Li continued to climb.

However, his speed was decreasing. By the time he reached the eighth joint, it would often take more than ten breaths of adaptation before he could ascend another step.

“That spirit beast is nearing its limit,”

the powerful warriors watching from below also noticed the situation.

“Based on everyone’s previous experience climbing Bone Mountain, the pressure and evil energy of the seventh joint would be too much for even a powerhouse at the seventh stage of the Late Jindan Realm to withstand. This spirit beast, having made it this far, is already stronger than most of us.” “

Indeed, in the outside world, this spirit beast would definitely have a powerful Yuanshen to snatch it away!”

“Look, they’re almost at the eighth joint.”

“Judging from the speed of that spirit beast, I’m afraid it won’t be able to reach the eighth joint.”

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Lu Qing and Xiao Li slowly approached the junction of the seventh and eighth joints.

“Xiao Li, are you sure you want to go up?”

Lu Qing asked, looking at Xiao Li, whose limbs were trembling but who was still trying very hard to steady himself.

“I want to try, Ah Qing,” Xiao Li said firmly.

“Okay, let’s continue, but if you can’t hold on, I will immediately put you into the Lihuo Cauldron.”

Lu Qing sensed Xiao Li’s persistence and didn’t stop him, but instead warned him in advance.

“Yes.”

Nodding to indicate understanding, Xiao Li took the lead, this time taking a difficult leap, landing on the eighth step.

Then, the next moment, his legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the staircase.

A dense, substantial evil aura instantly enveloped him.

Lu Qing followed closely behind, also stepping up.

His body was as steady as a mountain, and a hazy white light emanated from him, blocking all the evil aura from his body.

Lu Qing paid no attention to these matters, his gaze fixed firmly on Xiao Li.

However, he didn’t immediately place it in the Lihuo Cauldron.

He could sense that Xiao Li was still persevering, refusing to give up.

The evil aura surrounding it, though terrifying, hadn’t yet fully penetrated its body.

As long as Xiao Li held on, he would respect it and not immediately place it in the Lihuo Cauldron.

Under Lu Qing’s watchful eye, Xiao Li lay on the steps for a moment, and once it had adjusted to the pressure of its eighth vertebra, it began to attempt to stand.

Initially, Xiao Li’s attempts were sluggish. After several attempts, it struggled to raise its limbs.

Finally, perhaps the surroundings forced its potential to the

surface, it finally, tremblingly, managed to stand upright on its fifth attempt.

“Ah Qing, I did it!”

Xiao Li couldn’t hide its joy as it shouted to Lu Qing when it fully stood up.

“Amazing!” Lu Qing praised him generously.

“Thanks to you, Ah Qing. I couldn’t stand up originally, but some of the blood I refined a few days ago still remains within me. Just now, under the pressure of this eighth joint, it’s completely absorbed into my body, giving me some extra strength.” “

I see.”

Lu Qing suddenly realized. He was still a little puzzled by Xiao Li’s sudden increase in strength.

“But I’ve reached my true limit. I can’t go any further than the next step,” Xiao Li said with regret.

“There’s nothing to regret. You’ve broken through your limits this time. Once you get out, your realm should be elevated, which is a significant gain.” Lu Qing smiled.

“Yes, I can sense that once we get outside, we should be able to reach the third level of the Golden Core.”

Xiao Li also brightened at the thought.

“Ah Qing, please take me into the Lihuo Cauldron. I can’t accompany you up the stairs.”

“It’s okay. Have Senior Yan activate the Lihuo Cauldron’s restrictions. That way, you can watch me climb the mountain from within.”

Lu Qing, with a sudden thought, wanted to take Xiao Li into the Lihuo Cauldron.

But at that moment, Xiao Li’s ears suddenly twitched, and he shouted, “Ah Qing, wait a minute!”

“What’s wrong?” Lu Qing was stunned.

“That voice that warned me earlier has appeared again. This time, it said I’ve passed the test and can enter the Refining Pool or something.”

Xiao Li tilted his head, trying to repeat the voice in his mind.

“What did you say?” Lu Qing was shocked at the words.

“Ah Qing, what is the Refining Pool? Should I agree to it?”

“Xiao Li actually passed the test? Could it be that the test of this Bone Mountain doesn’t require reaching the summit to pass, but has other criteria?”

Lu Qing took a deep breath, remembering the message he had retrieved from the Bone Mountain, and a vague suspicion formed in his mind.

However, he did not rush. Instead, he said to Xiao Li, “Don’t worry. Try asking it first. What are the benefits of entering the Refining Pool? See if it can answer.”

Xiao Li concentrated, trying to ask in his mind.

Soon, it spoke, “It says that entering the refining pool will transform my body into a true witch. Ah Qing, what is a witch?”

Sure enough!

Lu Qing’s heart was shaken again.

Now, he was truly certain that Xiao Li had truly passed the test.

More importantly, Xiao Li’s inquiry had revealed that the other party was actually able to communicate.

Could it be that there was still a living being within this mountain of bones?

“I don’t know what a witch is either. You could try asking that voice.”

Xiao Li focused again, and it quickly relayed the story: “It says that witches are the most powerful beings in the world, and that after I transform into a witch, I will become much more powerful than I am now.”

Lu Qing, gradually calming down, continued, “Then ask it again: after becoming a witch, can you still retain your demon core and mana?”

Xiao Li asked again, and received an answer: “It says that the witch’s path of cultivation is the most powerful in the world, able to embrace all things and accommodate any other cultivation methods. I want to keep my demon core, as I wish.” “

So that’s true! Is the witch’s cultivation really that powerful?”

This answer surprised Lu Qing.

“Ah Qing, that voice is urging me on, asking whether I agree or refuse?” Xiao Li suddenly said.

Lu Qing suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

Logically, Xiao Li had passed the test and was receiving an opportunity, which was a good thing.

But this sudden voice offering communication made Lu Qing wary.

After a few moments of thought, Lu Qing turned to Xiao Li, “Ask it again, can you communicate?”

“It says, Ah Qing, you haven’t passed the test yet. According to the rules set by the master who created this space, you’re not qualified to speak with it.”

“The master who created this space?” Lu Qing’s heart stirred.

He pondered again before saying to Xiao Li, “You can agree to it. This should be a rare opportunity. But remember, even if you receive the Wu’s inheritance, you must keep your demon core. If you can’t, I’d rather not take this opportunity.” While the Wu

‘s cultivation path might be truly powerful, Xiao Li’s demon core was a flawless, top-grade, innate demon core.

Lu Qing didn’t want it to suddenly switch to another path.

“Yes,” Xiao Li nodded seriously.

Although it still didn’t quite understand what Lu Qing said, it knew that when it came to cultivation, it was right to listen to Lu Qing.

“Then you go ahead. Don’t worry. Once I pass this test and communicate with that voice, I’ll come find you.”

Lu Qing reached out and rubbed Xiao Li’s head, soothing him.

“Then Ah Qing, you have to come quickly,” Xiao Li said softly.

“Okay, go ahead.”

Xiao Li immediately communicated with the voice in his mind.

The next moment, a ball of light suddenly appeared, enveloping Xiao Li. When the light dissipated, Xiao Li’s figure had disappeared from the stairs.

Lu Qing felt relieved at this sight.

The ball of light appeared and disappeared just as suddenly, and even he was unable to stop it.

This further proved that the other party had no ill intentions.

Otherwise, with such means, they wouldn’t have wasted time arguing with them and could have just captured him directly.

“But now, this test must be passed!”

If Lu Qing had previously climbed the mountain with a simple attitude of giving it a try,

now that Xiao Li had been taken away, he had no way out. He had to pass this test and speak to the voice.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing looked up at the still long staircase overhead, his expression becoming truly serious.

The powerful people who were watching from below were all shocked when they saw the ball of light suddenly appear and Xiao Li being taken away.
