I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 617

Chapter 617: Ancient Heritage, [Indestructible Heavenly Witch Body]

A fierce malevolent energy erupted, causing even Lu Qing’s body to tremble.

The malevolent energy within this True Essence Liquid was far more potent than the primordial blood within the body of the mid-Golden Core beast.

If his body weren’t sufficiently formidable, his brow acupoint impenetrable, and his spiritual power immense,

he would have been unable to withstand the impact of this single burst.

“Just a single wisp of the malevolent energy within the True Essence Liquid is so potent! No wonder only those who have reached the summit of Bone Mountain are permitted to enter this True Essence Refining Pool. If I can’t even withstand the attacks of the evil beasts atop Bone Mountain, absorbing and refining this True Essence Liquid will be a sure death.”

Feeling the fierce malevolent energy erupting from within, Lu Qing experienced a sudden realization.

The Wu Clan set such high standards for the True Essence Refining Pool trials, not only to motivate their members, but also to protect them.

However, this also gave him a clearer understanding of the dangers of the True Essence Liquid.

Immediately, Lu Qing no longer hesitated and began to absorb and refine it.

His physical body also rapidly strengthened again, embarking on a new round of transformation.

“I wonder how much Essence Liquid this little fellow can absorb.”

The mysterious being in the shadows watched Lu Qing, seated cross-legged in the Essence Refining Pool, a surge of anticipation welling up in its heart.

Even the prodigies who had reached the summit of Wushan Mountain still varied in strength.

This difference was reflected in the amount of Essence Liquid they could absorb and refine.

The more Essence Liquid they absorbed, the greater their potential.

If they achieved the status of a Great Wizard, they would be able to go even further on the path to becoming one.

Furthermore, this little fellow had refined a perfect Golden Elixir.

Recalling the words of the great being who had created this space,

it expressed even greater anticipation for Lu Qing’s future performance .

As Lu Qing devoted all its energy to refining the Essence Liquid, the powerful beings beneath the Bone Mountain exchanged bewildered glances.

Ever since Lu Qing reached the twenty-fifth bone segment, he had ascended into the clouds above,

making him invisible to them.

And now, much time had passed, and still no movement from above, nor had Lu Qing come down.

“It’s been so long, nothing happened. What happened to that person? Did he reach the summit?”

“Could he have died up there, unable to withstand the pressure and the evil spirit?”

“Do you think that’s possible? With his strength, even if he couldn’t handle it, retreating wouldn’t be a problem.”

“I think it’s more likely that he’s already reached the summit and may have already obtained a great opportunity.”

“Indeed, if even this person can’t pass the test, then it’s hard to imagine who else could obtain the opportunity here.”

“Wait, perhaps after a while, we’ll know what’s going on.”

As the powerful individuals discussed this, Batian, Shen Zangfeng, the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple wearing the star-shaped Taoist robe, and Luo Xianzi of Biluo Palace all changed their expressions.

Soon, the other late Jindan realm experts also noticed something and looked down.

“What’s going on?”

“It seems something’s about to emerge from underground!”

“Oh no! Get out of the way!”

a powerful figure’s face paled as he shouted.

But before he could even finish his words, the ground in the area where they were standing suddenly cracked open, and a flood of white light burst forth, charging towards them.

Instantly, blood splattered everywhere.

…

“How could this little fellow’s absorption of the Essence Fluid be so inefficient?”

Within the mysterious space, the mysterious being observed Lu Qing, still sitting cross-legged in the pool of blood, absorbing and refining the Essence Fluid, with a hint of surprise.

Lu Qing’s absorption rate was much slower than it had expected. It

was completely unlike the efficiency expected of a physical master of his caliber.

Puzzled, the mysterious being observed for a moment longer, finally grasping a clue.

“This little fellow seems to be absorbing the Essence Fluid solely through his physical instincts. Could it be that he hasn’t practiced any proper physical cultivation techniques?”

This moment, the mysterious being was truly astonished.

It had originally assumed that Lu Qing, who had been able to cultivate his body to this level at the Golden Core Realm, must have practiced some remarkable body-refining technique.

After all, the Daoist lineage had many powerful body-refining techniques in its time.

For example, the Great Sun Tathagata Body and the Nine Revolutions Profound Art Body, when cultivated to a high level, could even rival the bodies of the Great Shamans of their own Wu Clan.

But looking at Lu Qing now, it seemed as if he had never practiced such a high-level body-refining technique.

“Without practicing advanced body-refining techniques, how did this little fellow cultivate his body to this level?”

The mysterious being was surprised. It pondered for a moment before finally making a decision.

“Little fellow, relying solely on your body’s instincts to refine and absorb the Essence Fluid is too inefficient. I’m afraid you’ll waste your body’s potential.”

A mysterious voice appeared in Lu Qing’s mind, causing him to stop refining the Essence Fluid and open his eyes.

“Senior, what you mean is…”

“Never mind. Since you’ve passed the highest level of the trial, this thing was bound to be given to you sooner or later. It makes no difference if I give it to you a little earlier now.”

As the mysterious voice finished speaking, an ancient stone slab, emitting an inexplicable aura, appeared before Lu Qing.

“On this stone slab, there is a legacy left by the owner who created this space. You can comprehend it. As for how much you can comprehend, it depends on your own luck.”

“A legacy left by the being who created this secret realm?”

Lu Qing gazed at the stone tablet before him, filled with surprise.

He had no way of guessing what realm the being capable of creating this secret realm had reached.

But what was certain was that it must be an unimaginably great being.

And the legacy it left behind must be incredibly extraordinary.

“Senior, even though I’m not from your Wu Clan, can I cultivate this legacy?” Lu Qing inquired.

“Hehe, before the master of this space left behind his legacy, he established a rule that any being who could reach the summit of Wu Mountain could enter the Essence Purifying Pool for baptism and gain the right to comprehend the stone tablet of legacy he left behind.

Since you’ve passed the test, then naturally, it’s possible.

Furthermore, although that great being was born into the Wu Clan, he later left the clan.

Therefore, the Wu Clan’s rules don’t bind him, and he can naturally pass on his legacy to whomever he pleases.”

The mysterious being chuckled.

“That person actually left the Wu Clan?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately understood that there must be a hidden story.

However, since the person in the dark didn’t seem interested in further details, he tactfully avoided asking.

He simply focused his attention on the stone slab in front of him.

“Go ahead and comprehend it,” the mysterious voice sounded again. “But I must tell you in advance, this inheritance is not easy to comprehend. Some of the peerless geniuses of my Wu clan have also comprehended this inheritance, but not many have ultimately achieved any success.

And none have even reached the level of a Great Wu.

Of course, the realms of True Wu and Great Wu are still far away from you.

As long as you can master this inheritance, you will greatly increase the speed of your refining of the Essence Liquid and fully absorb the essence within.”

As the mysterious voice spoke, Lu Qing had already begun to hold the stone slab in his hand, activated his supernatural power, and observed carefully.

The stone slab, one foot wide and three feet long, exuded an inexplicable aura and was remarkably ancient. Its material was unclear.

It didn’t even possess any powerful power, yet Lu Qing could easily grasp it.

Its surface was uneven, carved with images of eighteen strange and exotic beasts.

Lu Qing observed it for a long time, more than a quarter of an hour later, before he noticed a message floating in his field of vision.

[Inheritance Slab: A legacy slab left behind by an ancient being.]

[This slab is made of Chaos Stone Mud, capable of withstanding eons of wear and tear.]

[Chaos Stone Mud is a rare treasure derived from the birth of the world.]

…

[Discovered inheritance, do you want to download it?]

The previous description of the slab didn’t surprise Lu Qing.

He knew without hesitation that this slab was no ordinary object.

What concerned him most was the final message.

Seeing the hint within, he chose to download it without hesitation.

[Downloading, current progress 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.]

[Downloading complete, do you want to simulate?]

Lu Qing chose to simulate.

[Simulation started, current progress 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.]

[Simulation complete, do you want to learn?]

Seeing the supernatural power notification that the simulation was complete, Lu Qing chose to learn directly.

The next moment, he felt a flood of insights surge from the depths of his mind.

“I observed the various innate calamity beasts and evil beasts in the world, comprehended their internal transformations, and the energy of calamity, and finally created this [Eternal Calamity Indestructible Heavenly Witch Body]…”

A resounding voice echoed from Lu Qing’s mind.

His mind shifted even more, appearing in a mysterious space.

“Sure enough, whenever it involves an extremely profound inheritance, the supernatural power will simulate it into a heritage space.”

Lu Qing didn’t panic. After all, he had experienced similar things countless times while comprehending [Heaven-Splitting Sword Qi] and [Seven Star Sword Formation].

He observed himself and found that he had transformed into a strange beast.

Its appearance seemed familiar.

Lu Qing quickly remembered it: it was the very first beast depicted on the ancient stone slab.

“The inheritance engraved on the stone slab is actually contained within those eighteen extraordinary beasts,”

a sudden realization struck Lu Qing.

He also recalled the mighty voice he had just heard in his mind.

Could it be that the eighteen beasts on the ancient stone slab were the so-called innate calamity beasts?

Lu Qing was pondering this when a roar suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

It was the beast he was leaning over that suddenly roared at the sky.

The next moment, a vast mass of clouds suddenly converged, forming a vortex, within which flashes of lightning flashed.

“Is this, a heavenly tribulation?”

Lu Qing was startled.

Although the vortex above him was only gray, the power it emanated told him it was undoubtedly a heavenly tribulation.

Could it be that the beast he possessed was undergoing a tribulation?

Just as Lu Qing was pondering this, something even more shocking occurred.

The beast he possessed suddenly opened its mouth and sucked in the calamity clouds from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of calamity lightning thundered down, landing in its mouth and being swallowed.

“Swallowing calamity lightning?!”

Seeing the beast smacking its lips, as if savoring the taste of the calamity lightning, Lu Qing was almost genuinely shocked.

And just then, a mysterious circuit diagram appeared in his mind.

Bewildered at first, he quickly realized that this was the flow of energy within the beast.

He then felt the calamity lightning force, recently swallowed by the beast, flowing along the circuit diagram, quickly transforming into pure energy and merging into its body.

“Swallowing calamity lightning to strengthen oneself?” Lu Qing was dumbfounded.

…

“Can this little creature comprehend the technique left by that person?”

Within the mysterious space, the hidden being observed Lu Qing, holding the stone tablet in his hands and contemplating it with his eyes closed, but he remained unsure.

The one who created this space was too great.

Originally from the Wu Clan, he was expelled from the clan due to certain circumstances and wandered the starry sky.

However, during his journey through countless worlds, he encountered a unique opportunity and absorbed a vast essence from the Dao lineage.

Ultimately, with immense wisdom, he integrated the various Daos, broke free from the Wu Clan’s shackles, and achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation to an unfathomable realm.

Even the Wu Clan was unable to defeat him.

The legacy left by such a great being was naturally extremely extraordinary.

Although the person had previously stated that the legacy contained in the stone tablet was only created before his enlightenment, and only contained the first half, capable of cultivating to the Great Wu realm at best, even with

only the first half, in the years since, even the Wu Clan’s many gifted descendants have been unable to cultivate to the Great Wu realm.

It’s easy to imagine how difficult this legacy must be.

Therefore, despite Lu Qing’s many surprises today, this mysterious being remained unsure whether he could comprehend the legacy.

After all, he wasn’t a Wu Clan descendant.

Time passed slowly as the mysterious existence waited.

Lu Qing held the stone slab with his eyes tightly closed.

In the mysterious space, there was no sunlight, and apart from the floating blood-colored mist, there was no other change.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally opened his eyes, his eyes full of amazement.

“The Eternal Heavenly Witch Body, this inheritance is really profound. It is based on the cultivation methods of various calamity beasts and evil beasts in the world, and finally created a powerful body-refining method.”

Yes, at this time, Lu Qing had already accepted the exercises on the ancient stone slab.

And he also comprehended a part of it.

That’s why he was so shocked.

Because the inheritance recorded on the stone slab is so vast and powerful.

He even suspected that it has far exceeded the scope of the Yuanshen realm.

[Eternal Heavenly Witch Body] is the name of this inheritance.
