I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 641

Chapter 641: Fear in the Heart, Golden Elixir Method Completed

Endless sword energy enveloped the three Soul Realm cultivators.

Its mighty power shredded the snowy forest within a radius of several miles.

It took more than ten breaths for the sword energy to dissipate, revealing the three Soul Realm cultivators.

By then, they appeared in a state of considerable distress.

Their robes were ripped and stained by the sword energy, their bodies drenched in blood.

Even their auras had weakened considerably. Clearly, resisting Lu Qing’s sword energy had taken their toll.

The three Soul Realm cultivators’ faces were gloomy, and they didn’t even bother to heal their wounds, swiftly pursuing the thief.

However, when they reached the outskirts of Bingpo Valley, they could no longer see the thief.

The sky was empty, filled only by the endless, icy wind. Within a hundred miles, there was no one.

The thief had vanished without a trace, not even a trace of his presence.

The three Soul Realm cultivators immediately used their secret techniques to calculate the direction of the thief’s escape,

but they found nothing but a blur, unable to determine the thief’s escape direction.

Clearly, the opponent was carrying a secret treasure capable of blocking causal forces, and had already fled to who knows where.

Upon realizing this, the three men’s expressions suddenly darkened.

“Damn it! If it weren’t for that sword energy blocking him, how could he have escaped so easily?”

one of the Soul Formation cultivators resentfully exclaimed.

The other two Soul Formation cultivators remained silent.

The sword energy Lu Qing had unleashed earlier had truly astonished them.

It had reached the true limit of the Golden Core Realm, the maximum power permitted by the rules of Bingpo Valley.

Even they, at full power, could only achieve that much.

Otherwise, how could they have been caught off guard and injured by a Soul Formation cultivator?

A Soul Formation cultivator possessing such power must have reached the pinnacle of the Nine Transformations of the Golden Core Realm,

and must have cultivated an extremely advanced sword tradition.

Otherwise, they would have been completely invulnerable.

“Have you noticed that the sword energy of that little thief is truly extraordinary? It seems a bit like the sword tradition of that legendary place?”

a Soul Formation cultivator suddenly asked.

The other two were stunned.

“The legendary sword tradition?”

The other Soul Realm cultivator was initially puzzled, but then he recalled the three sword energies and a sudden realization struck him.

“Are you talking about that place?”

“Otherwise, I can’t think of any other place where such terrifying sword intent could be cultivated.” “

Wait, what are you talking about? Which place?” The third Soul Realm cultivator remained bewildered. “

The Sky-Splitting Sword Sect,” the first Soul Realm cultivator said solemnly. “That legendary holy land of sword cultivation. The sword energy of that little thief just now had an aura of cleaving through heaven and earth, annihilating everything. It’s very similar to the legendary Sky-Splitting Sword Energy of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect.”

“The Sky-Splitting Sword Sect?!” The third Soul Realm cultivator took a sharp breath upon hearing this. “That sword sect full of lunatics?”

He was a little incredulous, but recalling the sword energy that the little thief had unleashed earlier, he had to admit that his speculation was not unreasonable.

Such a fierce and terrifying sword energy was something he had never witnessed before. Aside from the disciples of that legendary sword sect, it was hard to imagine any other sword cultivator being able to cultivate it.

Even the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the most elite sword sects in the Tianyuan World, could not cultivate a sword intent as powerful and domineering as this.

“A disciple of the Potian Sword Sect has come to our Tianyuan World to train. I wonder if the Holy Alliance knows about this?”

“Whether they know or not, this is beyond our control.”

“If they are indeed disciples of the Potian Sword Sect, it’s no wonder they are so audacious, daring to take advantage of us right under our noses.”

“Unfortunately, it seems we’ll have to swallow this loss.”

After guessing that the thief was likely a disciple of the Potian Sword Sect, the three Yuanshen Realm cultivators knew that their revenge would be difficult to achieve.

The Potian Sword Sect, a legendary sword cultivation sanctuary, was known for its terrifying power and fame, even dominating the surrounding immortal realms.

While this sect’s disciples may not be numerous, each one is incredibly powerful, a true peerless genius capable of suppressing countless other geniuses of their generation.

Most importantly, the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect is an extremely protective sect.

If a disciple is bullied, while it’s fine if they’re competing against someone of the same realm, if an older cultivator uses their realm to bully others, it’s easy to provoke the old monsters behind them.

It’s truly the kind of sect where, when the younger ones are bullied, the older ones will come out.

Consequently, the forces in the nearby immortal realms avoid the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect, and few will proactively provoke them.

If Lu Qing is truly a disciple of the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect, the three Soul-Realm cultivators should be thankful they didn’t catch up to him.

Otherwise, getting tangled up in such a difficult situation would be truly unfortunate.

“Never mind, never mind. I didn’t expect the rare appearance of the Mysterious Ice Cold Flame to be snatched away by someone else. It seems like my luck has been down lately, so it’s best I don’t hang around anymore.”

A Soul Realm cultivator sighed, not even entering the Ice Soul Valley. Instead, he transformed into a stream of light and fled out.

“Old Ghost Zhao is gone?”

The remaining two Soul Realm cultivators were surprised.

However, they didn’t dwell on it. After exchanging a glance, they reentered the Ice Soul Valley.

The Mysterious Ice Cold Flame was gone, but the valley’s other potential treasures could still be of considerable use to them. It was

a rare opportunity to come here, so they couldn’t just leave empty-handed.

…

Lu Qing was unaware that the sword energy he had unleashed before leaving had instilled fear in the three Soul Realm cultivators, forcing them to abandon any desire for revenge.

The moment he flew out of Bingpo Valley, sensing the absence of others, he activated his teleportation talisman, shifting through the void and appearing hundreds of miles away.

While the Soul Realm’s initial Soul Realm’s perception was powerful, it wasn’t yet capable of encompassing an area hundreds of miles with a single thought, making it impossible to detect his presence.

After flying for another thousand miles, Lu Qing found a cave in a forest, entered it, and set up a concealing formation.

“Ah Qing, here!”

Xiao Li emerged from his hood and pulled out a jade bottle.

Inside was the Mysterious Ice Cold Flame.

Lu Qing took the bottle and examined it.

This jade bottle was one of the many treasures he had acquired during the battle at Tianshu Divine Mountain.

It was a treasure-level jade bottle, capable of holding various exotic fires and spiritual flames.

Otherwise, ordinary magical instruments might not be able to withstand the power of the Mysterious Ice Cold Flame.

After checking and finding no problems, Lu Qing put the jade bottle away.

“Ah Qing, aren’t you going to refine it?” Xiao Li asked.

It knew that Lu Qing’s cultivation path was based on the Five Elements, and that he could refine spiritual objects and treasures of various attributes.

Later, after cultivating the techniques he gained from the secret realm, he became even more capable of refining everything, encompassing everything.

While this mysterious cold ice flame was mysterious,

it shouldn’t be a problem for Lu Qing. “I don’t need this spiritual fire. I’m saving it for Xiaoyan,” Lu Qing patted the little creature’s head.

“For Xiaoyan? Yes, the techniques Xiaoyan cultivates are perfectly suited to this spiritual fire.” Xiao Li finally realized.

Speaking of Xiaoyan, the little creature grew a little depressed. “Ah Qing, when are we going home? I’ve missed you so much after all these years away.”

“Soon, we’ll be able to return soon,” Lu Qing reassured him.

He now understood the path beyond the ninth level of the Golden Core.

Next, he only needed to deduce the final three levels of the [Perfect Golden Core Method].

With his current aptitude, he could complete it in a short time.

Then, if he could achieve the Primordial Spirit, his foundation would be incredibly profound.

Once he achieved the Primordial Spirit, he could return to his home world with absolute certainty, without having to endure the perils of his previous journey.

“However, after I deduce the final three stages of the [Perfect Golden Elixir Method], I’ll still have to acquire more spirit stones.”

Lu Qing felt a little helpless at the thought.

The more techniques he practiced, the deeper his foundation grew, and his strength grew.

This was naturally a blessing, a dream of countless people.

But at the same time, his overly strong foundation also meant that every incremental improvement in his cultivation required a vast expenditure of resources.

The battle at Tianshu Divine Mountain had granted Lu Qing a considerable amount of spirit stones.

But after more than a decade of seclusion, his cultivation had reached the ninth stage of the Golden Elixir, and his Wu Yi Dao had also entered the realm of Golden Wu Dacheng.

While his strength had increased tremendously, the spirit stone consumption was also a staggering number.

He now had very few remaining spirit stones.

The final three stages of the Golden Elixir’s twelve stages clearly required a staggering amount of resources.

Without a way to acquire more spirit stones, relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation would be a challenge.

Lu Qing had no idea how long it would take him to break through to the twelfth level, let alone achieve the Primordial Spirit.

So, he decided to first deduce the final three levels of the [Perfect Golden Elixir Method] and then find a way to earn some spirit stones.

“Back in my home world, I left because of a lack of spiritual energy and spirit stones. I never expected to find myself so short of spirit stones even now in the Tianyuan World.”

Lu Qing shook his head with a hint of laughter. After giving Xiao Li a few words of advice, he activated his supernatural powers and began his retreat once again in this ordinary cave.

Time flies in the mountains, and cultivation time flies by quickly.

Soon, half a year had flown by.

Lu Qing, who had been sitting cross-legged in the cave, immersed in deducing the technique, finally opened his eyes.

A calm indifference filled his eyes, as if stars were moving, filled with wisdom.

After a long moment, the strange vision in Lu Qing’s eyes faded, and a feeling of deep exhaustion suddenly washed over him.

Six months of intense practice, even with the aid of supernatural powers and his soul talisman reaching the [Yang Fu] perfection stage, still left him feeling somewhat exhausted.

But despite his mental fatigue, his eyes revealed a deep joy.

“After six months of practice, I’ve finally deduced the final three stages.”

Indeed, during this six-month retreat, Lu Qing, guided by the inspiration he captured that day while observing the Ice Soul Valley’s manifestation, continuously deduced, and now, he had finally deduced the final three stages of the [Perfect Golden Elixir Method].

“However, as I realized at the time, to reach the tenth stage, I must first cultivate my mana, body, and soul to the level of the ninth stage of Golden Elixir perfection. Only when

these three are united can I potentially break through that barrier, surpass my limits, and enter that incredible realm.

Right now, my physical body is still somewhat lacking.”

Lu Qing’s current cultivation draws on the Dao lineage, the Wu clan’s heritage, and the Divine Talisman Sect’s legacy from his home world.

These corresponded to the three paths of mana, physical form, and spirit.

He had already cultivated both his mana and spirit to the equivalent of the ninth transformation of the Golden Core.

However, his physical form had only reached the Golden Wizard Great Perfection stage.

It was still a bit short of perfection.

The reason for this shortfall was that he had very few spirit stones left, not even enough to support him in cultivating his physical form to the Golden Wizard Perfection stage.

“Looks like I can’t leave my retreat,”

Lu Qing sighed, then stood up.

“Ah Qing, are you done with your training?”

Lu Qing’s movement immediately awakened Xiao Li, who was cultivating on the other side.

“Well, it’s over for now. Xiao Li, how’s your training going?”

“Not bad. I feel like after a while, I might be able to start practicing the second transformation of the True Dragon Nine Transformations,” Xiao Li said happily.

“You’ve grasped the second transformation so quickly?” Lu Qing was a little surprised. “It seems that the technique that the senior gave you is indeed suitable for you.”

“Of course, I’m not that stinky snake who practices so slowly.” The little guy raised his head proudly.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, but did not refute.

Xiao Li’s comprehension is indeed much better than Wu Xing.

You know, that fool Wu Xing has not yet been able to fully master the first transformation.

“Do you need to retreat for a while?”

Lu Qing originally planned to come out of retreat immediately. If Xiao Li’s practice reached a critical moment, there would be no rush.

However, Xiao Li had been with him for so many years, and their mutual understanding had long been honed.

Hearing Lu Qing’s words, he immediately understood: “Why, Qing, do you want to go out?”

“Well, we’re running low on spirit stones, so I’m going to go out and see if I can get some,” Lu Qing answered truthfully.

“Go out and earn spirit stones?” Xiao Li’s eyes lit up at that. “Okay, okay, then let’s go out quickly. After all, if I gain some insights, I can cultivate in the Lihuo Cauldron. Earning spirit stones is more important

.” The little creature knew that Lu Qing’s current cultivation was consuming a tremendous amount of spirit stones.

He had witnessed it during his previous ten years of seclusion.

The rate at which he consumed spirit stones was alarming.

Without the support of spirit stones, Lu Qing’s cultivation would likely slow down.

Therefore, earning spirit stones was crucial.

Moreover, his treasure-hunting instinct had long been unleashed, and he was also extremely interested in earning spirit stones.

“Alright, let’s go out now,”

Lu Qing thought for a moment, agreed, and nodded.
