I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 614
Chapter 614: Unstoppable, the test passed, the mysterious voice reappears
“That spirit beast disappeared. What happened?”
“Did it collapse and get taken into the space magic weapon by that mysterious young man?”
“That doesn’t seem likely. Looking at that sudden light, it feels more like it was taken away by this space.”
“Could it be that the spirit beast passed the test of this Bone Mountain and found an opportunity?”
“But it’s only reached the eighth vertebra. Batian and the others had reached the tenth vertebra, almost to the eleventh, and there wasn’t any movement from the Bone Mountain?”
“Perhaps the test of this Bone Mountain isn’t just about who can climb higher; there are other criteria.”
“If it really is about finding an opportunity, then we’re no match for even a spirit beast.”
“Losing to that mysterious young man was one thing, but now we’re outmatched by his spirit pet. It’s humiliating!”
Seeing Xiao Li’s sudden disappearance, the powerful warriors below were in an uproar, discussing and speculating on the reason for its disappearance.
Peak Jindan cultivators like Batian and Shen Zangfeng were especially stunned.
They had reached the tenth vertebra before, and nothing like this had happened.
The little spirit beast had vanished just as it reached the eighth joint.
Judging by the power emanating from that ball of light, could it have passed the test and been taken away by the mountain of bones?
“Look, that mysterious young man is climbing again! What a swift climb!”
someone suddenly shouted.
Even without needing to shout, the experts who had been closely monitoring the movements above had already noticed.
After the little spirit beast vanished, the mysterious young man resumed his ascent.
And his speed was even faster than before, almost as if he were walking at lightning speed.
Everyone then realized that Lu Qing had been holding back, perhaps slowing down his ascent to take care of his spirit pet.
Now that the little spirit beast had vanished, he was truly demonstrating his true strength.
As Lu Qing climbed, a hazy white light emanated from his body, completely blocking out the tangible evil energy surrounding him.
This white light wasn’t some magical power or technique, but rather the protective aura naturally generated by his strengthened physical body.
Lu Qing’s current physical strength rivaled that of a magical weapon, and the resulting aura was even more powerful than many treasure-level protective magical instruments.
While the malevolent energy atop the Bone Mountain was potent, it hadn’t posed any threat to him thus far.
Furthermore, this protective aura was naturally generated, a manifestation of his incredibly powerful vitality.
Maintaining its current strength didn’t require any mana consumption.
In a sense, it could be considered a form of physical divine power.
Compared to actively enacting protective Taoist techniques, it offered significant advantages.
Consequently, even now, his mana hadn’t been depleted at all, remaining at peak condition.
Without Xiao Li’s care, his climbing speed had greatly increased.
In a short while, he had already crossed two joints and reached the junction of the ninth and tenth joints.
“We have to reach the tenth vertebra!”
“Batian and Shen Zangfeng stopped at the tenth vertebra before! I wonder if this guy can break that limit.”
“No doubt he can. Just look at his speed; he’s infinitely faster than Batian and the others before him!”
Batian and Shen Zangfeng, the young man in the star-shaped Taoist robes from Daoxu Temple, and the Saintess Luo Xianzi from the Biluo Palace all wore solemn expressions.
After reaching the tenth vertebra, not only would the suppressing force become incredibly powerful, but the evil spirit would also undergo another qualitative change.
It would become even more terrifying, even transforming into various evil beasts and attacking them.
The evil spirit transformed into evil beasts was extremely formidable.
It penetrated every pore and could corrode various precious lights and protective magic weapons, significantly increasing their mana consumption.
This was precisely why they finally couldn’t hold on and were forced to retreat.
They wanted to see if this mysterious young man, who hadn’t used any magic weapons or Taoist techniques since climbing the mountain,
could withstand the onslaught of that terrifying evil spirit.
Lu Qing was unaware of the thoughts of the powerful warriors below. His only concern now was to quickly reach the summit and search for Xiao Li.
So, even the tenth vertebra didn’t give him the slightest hesitation; he stepped forward without hesitation.
As his feet touched the ground, officially entering the tenth vertebrae, not only did the repressive force multiply, but the surrounding evil spirit, which had already solidified into a physical form, also transformed again,
transforming into a series of evil beasts, roaring and attacking him with a terrifying, invisible wave.
“Is this what Batian meant by evil spirit taking form? So, they must have reached at least the tenth vertebrae before.”
Lu Qing looked at the evil beasts attacking him, his expression unchanged.
He could sense that these evil beasts were far more terrifying than mere evil spirits, but they should be unable to harm his physical body’s precious light. As expected
, when the evil beasts pounced with their fangs and claws, they collided with Lu Qing’s physical body’s precious light and were repelled, unable to even shake the precious light.
Seeing that the evil beast truly couldn’t break through the defenses of his physical body’s precious light, Lu Qing felt relieved and continued to climb rapidly. He
even increased his speed even more.
He soon passed the tenth joint and entered the eleventh joint.
This scene naturally astonished the warriors below.
“What? The tenth joint didn’t even slow him down?”
“Not only that, but it feels like he’s even faster!”
“Everyone else’s speed slows down the higher they go, but why is this guy going the other way? Does that make sense?”
“What kind of protective white light is that around him? It’s so powerful it can’t even harm a transformed evil beast?”
“What a rapid pace! He’s already crossed the tenth vertebra and entered the eleventh, officially surpassing Batian and the others!”
Seeing Lu Qing’s speed increase after entering the tenth vertebra, reaching the eleventh vertebra at breakneck speed, the warriors were all stunned.
They were especially amazed to see the transformed evil beasts unable to even shake the hazy white light emanating from Lu Qing’s body.
Even Batian’s top-tier Jindan masters were astonished.
They had all reached the tenth vertebra and naturally understood how terrifying those evil beasts were.
Even the protective light generated by their spiritual tools couldn’t hold out for long.
This guy had actually withstood it. Could it be that his spiritual tool was even more powerful than theirs?
Under the astonished gazes of the other experts, Lu Qing climbed swiftly, unstoppable, and before long, he reached the fifteenth joint.
At this point, the repressive force he was enduring had reached a terrifying level.
If this pressure fell on another cultivator, even a late Jindan-level expert would be instantly crushed into a pulp.
Only an outlier like Lu Qing could withstand this.
But even he, after reaching the fifteenth joint, finally slowed down.
Furthermore, the transformed evil beast was growing stronger, beginning to challenge the aura of his physical body.
Lu Qing had to slow down slightly.
“Finally slowing down…”
“He actually reached the fifteenth joint in one breath!”
“How powerful is this person’s physical body!”
“This performance completely surpasses Batian and the others. Is this person really still at the Jindan realm?”
The powerful warriors below were stunned.
Even Batian and Shen Zangfeng, the pinnacle of Jindan, were shocked.
They had originally expected that even if Lu Qing could surpass them, he would only reach the twelfth or thirteenth joint at most before he would be unable to continue.
But they never expected that he would reach the fifteenth joint in one breath before slowing down.
And now he was still climbing. Although his speed had slowed, it was still much faster than when they had reached the tenth joint.
This meant that Lu Qing hadn’t yet reached his limit; the fifteenth vertebra wasn’t the height he could ultimately reach.
“Is this person truly at the Golden Core stage?”
Even Batian couldn’t help but wonder.
Beside him, Shen Zangfeng remained silent, but his expression was grave.
Batian’s sigh echoed the very question he’d been wondering.
“Could this person be some powerful Yuanshen master, sneaking in through some secret method unknown to us?”
Elsewhere, the Daoxu Temple Taoist, clad in a star-studded Taoist robe, couldn’t help but exclaim.
The veiled, cold woman looked up at Lu Qing’s figure without replying. Her eyes trembled, revealing that her inner self wasn’t as calm as she appeared.
Bang!
Under the gaze of the powerful, Lu Qing ascended the sixteenth vertebra.
His steps were now incredibly heavy. He
landed on the step with a dull thud.
The surrounding evil beasts, like a hundred demons parading at night, attacked him frantically, attempting to pierce his fleshly aura, penetrate his body, and devour him completely.
Under such attack, Lu Qing’s fleshly aura finally began to falter, showing signs of failing.
“Is this the limit of my physical strength?”
Lu Qing stood there, silently feeling the pressure on his body, a sudden realization forming within him.
While he could still continue upward, relying solely on his physical strength, he would probably only be able to reach this joint before being able to withstand the pressure of the next.
“Looks like I need to use my trump card.”
Just as Lu Qing was about to activate his mana elixir, a voice, indistinguishable between male and female, suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Trialist, you have passed the Wushan test. Do you wish to enter the refining pool and receive your baptism?”
“I have passed?”
The sudden voice startled Lu Qing.
He hadn’t expected to receive recognition before even reaching his true limit.
However, he did not agree in a hurry, but calmly asked himself: “If I go to the refining pool now, can I see Xiao Li?”
“Are you talking about the little spirit beast? Of course you can. Those who pass the primary test will be refined in the same refining pool.”
“Primary test?” Lu Qing’s heart moved, “So, there are more advanced tests?”
“Of course, you have reached the sixteenth bone node with pure physical strength. Such performance can be regarded as barely reaching the standard of the elite disciples of our witch clan in the past. You have passed the primary test of the Bone Mountain and are qualified to be baptized and become a witch.” “
Then what is the higher test?”
“If you can reach the twentieth bone node, it means you have passed the intermediate test, comparable to the genius disciples of the witch clan in the past.
If you reach the thirtieth bone node, it means you have passed the advanced test, comparable to the direct descendants of the witch clan in the past, a true witch seed with the blood of the ancestor witch.
However, for cultivators like you who practice the Dao lineage, it is impossible to pass the tests above the intermediate level. I advise you to give up.”
“Dao lineage, what is that?”
Lu Qing asked immediately with a thought.
“The Dao lineage refers to cultivators like you who practice the Qi Refining Path. In ancient times, we called them the Dao lineage. However, while you clearly practice the Dao lineage, your physical form rivals that of the elite disciples of our Wu Clan—quite an anomaly.”
“I’m a Dao lineage cultivator. According to the records in that hall outside, I should be your enemy. Why did you allow me to pass the trials and enter your Wu Clan’s purification pool?”
Lu Qing asked a question that remained in his mind.
“How could you actually see the murals in that hall clearly?” The voice sounded surprised, but quickly calmed down. “Those were ancient events. Whether the Wu Clan still exists today is anyone’s guess. What’s the point of dwelling on this hatred?
Besides, what relevance does a mere mortal like you have to something that happened thousands of years ago?”
Lu Qing hadn’t expected such a response.
He also confirmed that the one transmitting the message to him must be an ancient being who had survived for countless years.
Immediately, his expression became somewhat respectful. “Senior, I wonder what benefits this junior would gain if he could pass the next level of the test?”
“You still want to move up?” the voice asked in surprise.
“Yes, I still have some energy left and would like to try again.”
“I advise you not to overestimate your abilities. The pressure and evil spirits from further up are beyond your ability to withstand.”
“I understand this, young man. If there’s nothing I can do, I’ll naturally give up,” Lu Qing insisted.
“Alas, little ones like you are always so arrogant. Back in our Wu Clan’s time, there were many young ones as energetic as you.
Well, it seems I can’t persuade you. Then go ahead and give it a try. However, even I can’t interfere with the trials of Wushan. If something unexpected happens and you perish here, don’t regret it.”
Perhaps because the voice hadn’t spoken to anyone in a while, it was surprisingly gentle towards Lu Qing.
“I understand.”
“Then continue upwards. Once you reach the 20th vertebra and pass the intermediate test, you’ll be eligible to enter the intermediate refining pool. Reaching the 30th vertebra will grant you access to the advanced refining pool. Reaching the summit will grant you direct access to the True Essence Refining Pool.”
“True Essence Refining Pool?” Lu Qing’s eyes lit up.
