I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 647

Chapter 647: Sword Defeats Eight Turns, Top-grade Magical Weapon

“That master wants to accept registered disciples. Is this true?”

someone immediately asked.

“It’s just a rumor. No one can be sure.”

Even so, the dozen or so mysterious figures present were still shocked and incredulous.

They knew that for that master, such a rumor would never spread unless he wanted to.

“But why, with that master’s status, if he wanted to accept registered disciples, even a hint of it would have countless Yuanshen realm masters begging to become his disciples? Why would he be so concerned with a mere Jindan realm?”

someone was deeply puzzled.

“How can we guess what that master is thinking? He has his reasons for doing this. We just need to do our jobs. Besides, this is just a rumor. The real reason is unknown.”

Every figure fell silent.

Looking at the trial-takers in the light curtain, they couldn’t help but express their envy.

These little ones probably didn’t realize the true opportunity they were about to face.

If this news were to spread, it would cause a stir not only in the Tianyuan World but also throughout the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, and even in several other nearby realms.

“This trial features many exceptional individuals within the Tianyuan World. Who do you think will take first place?” After

a moment’s silence, another figure suddenly spoke.

“It’s hard to say. Many of these participants are at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, some even condensing flawless, top-grade, innate Golden Cores, Demonic Cores, and Demonic Cores.

At this level, their fundamental cultivation bases are vastly different. The competition is simply a matter of their respective techniques, Daoist arts, and magical weapons.

If that’s the case, I’m more optimistic about Cang Jue.

His father is, after all, the Devil Lord of Destruction, a powerful being who has reached the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and possesses a profound background.

Cang Jue is also his most favored youngest son, so he must have given him many life-saving trump cards,”

the figure wearing the ferocious beast mask analyzed.

“I’m more optimistic about the Saint Maiden of the Azure Sky Palace,” said the woman wearing the fox mask. “Don’t forget, her master has a murky relationship with a high-ranking official in our Netherworld Palace.

Her sudden appearance to participate in the trial this time must have been due to guidance from her master, or even from one of our high-ranking officials.

If that’s the case, she must have been well prepared, and she’s likely to take first place.”

“You all favor those with strong backgrounds, but I’m not. I’m more optimistic about the young man from the Elephant Tribe,” another figure said.

“The suppressive power this boy displayed earlier clearly shows that he’s awakened the bloodline of the ancient divine elephant, and even its concentration is quite high.

If he takes this a step further and awakens his innate magical powers, it would be even more formidable.

By then, his power could potentially break through the limits of the Golden Core Realm and reach the level of the Soul Realm.

With force, even those with powerful magic weapons might not be his match.”

Listening to the three’s analysis, some of the other figures nodded, clearly agreeing that their words made sense.

Of course, they all knew that these were only the visible elements.

Perhaps there were other little ones hiding something.

So, until the final moment, it was hard to say who would secure first place.

“What about this little one?”

someone said, pointing at Lu Qing’s figure on the screen.

“The sword intent this little one displayed earlier seemed quite remarkable. Sword cultivators are known for their astonishing combat prowess. Perhaps he has a chance.”

Everyone immediately turned to the man wearing the ghost mask, for they all knew Lu Qing was one of the people he had brought in.

The ghost-masked man pondered for a moment before saying, “According to Old Ghost Liu, this kid’s sword intent has some of the essence of the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect, but it’s not pure. It seems to be a unique and unconventional approach. He might be some lucky individual who has inherited a lost legacy from the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect.”

Sky-Breaking Sword Sect!

At the mention of this name, the mysterious figures were once again shocked.

There was no other way. The sect, so-called “academic swordsmen,” was too prestigious. It was a formidable sect, on par with their own Nether Palace.

“He must be a lucky individual who stumbled upon the inheritance. Otherwise, how could he possibly participate in our Nether Palace trials if he were truly a disciple of the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect?”

“What a shame! If he’s just an amateur, he’s probably no match for top-tier Jindan cultivators like Cang Jue and the Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace, both of whom possess profound backgrounds and profound influences.”

“Not necessarily. Even if he can’t take first place, he should still be in the top ten.”

After learning about Lu Qing’s situation, these mysterious figures offered their assessments.

They believed that while taking first place was unlikely, breaking into the top ten shouldn’t be difficult.

“Look, Cang Jue is about to collide with the Saintess of the Azure Sky Palace and the Daoist from the Daoxu Monastery!”

someone suddenly shouted softly.

The other voices perked up, glancing at the light screen.

“And that kid who seems to possess the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect’s inheritance is about to collide with another Jindan Rank 8 cultivator!”

Then someone else noticed that Lu Qing was about to cross paths with another powerful cultivator.

Immediately, everyone stared intently at the light curtain, eager to see the outcome of this first round of clashes.

Lu Qing naturally didn’t know that his every move was clearly visible to others.

This trial space had been refined by the supreme power within the Nether Palace.

With his current strength, he wasn’t capable of detecting the tactics deployed by such a being.

Following the guidance of the Trial Jade Talisman, he flew toward the nearest small cluster of white dots.

There were thirty or forty of them, all moving simultaneously. Clearly, a powerful individual, like him, had gathered all the nearby Trial Jade Talismans.

As Lu Qing approached the cluster, he suddenly noticed it also accelerate, moving rapidly toward him.

“Did you notice me? That’s just what I want!”

Lu Qing’s eyes were calm as he suddenly accelerated, flying forward at the same speed.

This scene, displayed within the Trial Jade Talisman’s illusory space, showed two small clusters rapidly approaching, on the verge of collision.

Lu Qing could already sense the other party’s presence.

“Is it a human cultivator?”

Lu Qing sensed the aura of the golden elixir emanating from the other party, and his judgment was immediate.

The other party wasn’t the demon or monster he’d expected, but a human cultivator like him.

The other party was indeed a master, and after Lu Qing sensed his presence, he quickly sensed Lu Qing as well.

He was a young man in white, his long hair equally white. His aura was icy, giving him an air of transcendence.

Upon seeing Lu Qing, the young man in white said nothing, but instead formed a magical formula in his hand. The next moment, a mighty dragon roar echoed.

A shuttle-shaped magical weapon flew out, transforming into a massive ice dragon, which pounced upon Lu Qing.

Wherever the ice dragon passed, countless icicles appeared, seemingly freezing even space. Its power was immense.

“Low-grade spiritual weapon?”

Lu Qing instantly realized that the young man in white had only reached the eighth level of Golden Core Perfection, still some distance from the ninth level.

But the spiritual weapon he summoned was perfectly compatible with his own cultivation method and physique, allowing him to unleash exceptionally powerful power.

Judging from the power of the ice dragon alone, it was no less powerful than a full-strength attack from a ninth-level Jindan cultivator.

“Interesting! No wonder he dared to take the initiative to fight.”

A hint of amusement crossed Lu Qing’s face.

He showed no surprise at the white-robed youth’s ice dragon attack, nor did he attempt to dodge.

He simply extended his hand and gently swung it downward.

The next moment, a mighty sword energy erupted, emitting a devastating aura that shattered heaven and earth, slaying everything, as

it soared towards the ice dragon. In a split second, the roaring ice dragon froze, then exploded into a cloud of icy shards.

The ice dragon’s body was shattered by the sword, and the weapon spirit within let out a cry of pain and flew backward at a rapid speed.

“What?!”

The young man in white’s eyes widened as he watched Lu Qing, without even using a magic weapon, slash through the Ice Dragon he had unleashed with his full strength, relying solely on

sword energy. Before he could react, Lu Qing swung his hand again, and a stream of sword energy brushed past him, slicing through a distant mountain behind him.

Then, a calm voice rang out, “You are no match for me. Hand over all your Trial Jade Talismans.”

The young man in white stared stiffly at the halved mountain behind him, then slowly turned to look at Lu Qing, an expression of inexpressible awe on his face.

As the sword energy had passed him, he had felt an overwhelming aura of death envelop him.

He was paralyzed, unable to dodge or even move.

It took a long moment before he felt some control of his body return.

Without another word, the young man in white honestly took out all his Trial Jade Talismans and threw them over.

“Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is profound, and your swordsmanship is supreme. I admire you.”

Lu Qing had only swung two sword energies, and the young man in white knew he was far from his match.

If that sword had struck him, he would have been dead by now.

Therefore, the jade talisman of the trial was given to him with full conviction.

“Thank you.”

Lu Qing took the jade talisman, examined it, and seeing that it was fine, he nodded slightly, then continued to transform into a stream of light, flying forward to his next target.

The young man in white watched Lu Qing’s retreating back with mixed feelings.

Originally, he had participated in this trial on a whim.

After all, with his status and position, he was only a peripheral member of the Nether Palace, which held little appeal to him.

He had originally believed that with his own strength, passing this trial would be a piece of cake.

This belief remained unwavering, even after the black bear-masked man who had led them in announced that they would be participating in the trial with the demons and devils.

Indeed, he easily snatched the trial jade tokens from the dozens of Jindan realm cultivators who had entered with him.

However, he hadn’t expected that someone like Lu Qing would exist in this trial space.

Recalling the sword energy Lu Qing had just unleashed, his mind was still trembling, his spirit trembling.

After a long while, the young man in white finally calmed down a bit and recalled his spiritual weapon.

Looking at the obvious sword mark on it, he felt heartbroken, but also felt even more awed by Lu Qing’s strength.

He could actually injure the spiritual weapon with just sword energy. What kind of monster was that man with the ghost mask?

“The battle ended so quickly?”

“I take back what I said. This kid’s swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage. I’m afraid he’s no match for Cang Jue and the kid from the Elephant Tribe.”

“Is this what Old Ghost Liu meant by impure sword intent? How can a sword intent that isn’t completely pure be so powerful?”

“Is this kid truly a self-taught individual, not a direct disciple of the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect?”

The dozen or so figures within the mysterious space were stunned when they saw Lu Qing defeat the white-robed youth with just two sword energies, convincing him and surrendering all their jade trial talismans.

These mysterious figures were no ordinary people. Not only were their cultivations formidable, but their gazes were also incredibly venomous.

It was obvious that the ice dragon wielded by the white-robed youth had fully reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.

Yet, even so, it couldn’t withstand Lu Qing’s casual sword energy.

The moment Lu Qing’s sword energy slashed forth, even through the light curtain, they could sense the sword intent that slashed heaven and earth, annihilating everything.

Even a faint shudder ran through them.

How could these mysterious figures not be surprised?

“It seems we were all wrong! This kid is also a strong contender for the top spot!” one figure couldn’t help but sigh.

The other mysterious figures didn’t object.

The sword energy Lu Qing had just unleashed was truly terrifying.

Some even wondered if they could have reached such a level of strength back in their Golden Core stage.

But then, someone suddenly said, “Huh? That Daoxu Temple’s Taoist disciple and the Holy Maiden of the Biluo Palace are about to be defeated?”

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly glanced back at the screen.

The screen showed that the Daoxu Temple’s Taoist disciple and the Holy Maiden of the Biluo Palace were being single-handedly defeated by Cang Jue.

Finally, they joined forces, slew over a dozen demons observing the battle, and then escaped.

The mysterious figures were shocked again.

“What’s going on? How come these two are about to be defeated in the blink of an eye?”

“Is Cang Jue so formidable?”

“What just happened?”

The crowd hadn’t imagined that, in a fleeting moment, the Saintess of Biluo Palace and the Daoist Master of Daoxu Temple, who they had once considered promising, were no match for Cang Jue alone and forced to flee.

“It’s a magic weapon!” a figure said solemnly. “That Cang Jue possesses an extremely powerful magic weapon, and it’s of a very high rank, at least mid-grade or above, and very likely a top-grade one!”

A top-grade magic weapon!

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again shocked.

Because even among them, no one possessed a magical weapon of this caliber.

“It seems that the Devil Lord of Silence truly dotes on his youngest son. He’s even willing to give him such a magical weapon. Isn’t he afraid that other powerful beings will take action and kill him to steal the treasure?”

“I heard that the Devil Lord of Silence has banned his youngest son from leaving his territory. Perhaps it’s because of this magical weapon.”

“If it is really a top-grade magical weapon, then the Taoist of Daoxu Temple and the Saint of Biluo Palace are in danger.”

A group of mysterious figures saw Cang Jue on the light curtain, and he had transformed into a black light and chased in the direction where the Taoist of Daoxu Temple and the Saint of Biluo Palace fled.

They immediately knew that the two were in danger.
