I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 670

Chapter 670: Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, retreat to impact the tenth level!

Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged as he watched Qiao Rong’s silent, lifeless body.

He held no hatred for Qiao Rong, but since she hated him to the core and had placed a bounty on his head in the Nether Palace,

he naturally didn’t mind taking care of her.

With a thought, a transparent Southern Ming Fire erupted, completely incinerating Qiao Rong’s body.

This feud was now completely settled.

As for Qiao Rong’s head, if he hadn’t looted the treasury of the Gongshu family’s second branch, he might have risked taking it to the Nether Palace to claim the bounty.

But now, with hundreds of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones at his disposal, such a risk was unnecessary.

With this minor matter resolved, Lu Qing began to consider his next steps.

Undoubtedly, the most important thing for him now was to break through his limits as soon as possible and enter the tenth stage of the Golden Core Realm.

This time, he harvested so many spirit stones that it would not only sustain him through the tenth stage of the Golden Core, but even allow him to reach the great perfection of the twelfth stage of the Golden Core, and even achieve the attainment of the Primordial Spirit.

However, this retreat was particularly important and would undoubtedly take a considerable amount of time.

Therefore, some necessary preparations needed to be made beforehand.

At the very least, this cave wasn’t suitable for a long-term retreat.

He needed to find a better retreat location.

“By the way, which continent am I in now?”

Lu Qing suddenly thought.

Previously, in a hurry, he had activated the Void Flying Boat to quickly escape the pursuit of the old ghost from the Gongshu family, and had no time to precisely control its position.

So, he was certain he was still in the Tianyuan World, but he couldn’t determine the specific continent he was in.

After putting away the formation, Lu Qing stepped outside and took in the surroundings.

“The surrounding spiritual energy is abundant and free of impurities. This shouldn’t be the Demon Realm.”

Legend has it that while the Demon Realm possesses considerable spiritual energy, it’s also permeated by a type of demonic energy that’s unsuitable for long-term human habitation. Currently,

there’s no demonic energy around, so we can rule out the possibility of being in the Demon

Realm. As for whether we’re still in human territory, we need to confirm it first.

Over the next two days, Lu Qing conducted extensive flights and explorations, finally pinpointing his location.

“So, I’ve reached the outskirts of the Myriad Demons Mountains.”

Lu Qing gazed at the endless, boundless mountain range in the distance and finally knew where he was.

He’d arrived near the Myriad Demons Mountains.

The Myriad Demons Mountains mark the border between the human and demon territories. Stretching for millions of miles, this vast mountain range completely separates the two, making it one of the vastest mountain ranges in the Tianyuan World.

“I didn’t expect to be teleported here by activating the Void Flying Boat,” Lu Qing exclaimed.

Zhoutian City lies far behind the human territory.

In other words, the Void Flying Boat had directly crossed most of the human territory, teleporting Lu Qing here.

“But this is just perfect. The Myriad Demons Mountains are brimming with spiritual energy and possess numerous spiritual veins, making them perfect for retreat.”

Lu Qing wasn’t embarrassed, but rather delighted.

Given the vastness of the Myriad Demons Mountains, there must be numerous natural formations formed by the mountains. Finding one would be the perfect place for retreat.

More importantly, despite the “Myriad Demons” inscription, the Myriad Demons Mountains belong neither to the demon realm nor to the human race. It’s an unregulated area, devoid of any powerful forces.

Retreating here would eliminate the need to worry about attracting attention.

This time, Lu Qing intended to enter a life of seclusion. He would need to achieve at least the twelfth level of the Golden Core before he could emerge.

If all went well, he might even reach the Soul Realm!

He had a hunch that if he reached the Soul Realm, it would cause quite a stir.

In a bustling area, it would undoubtedly draw attention.

A lawless area like the Myriad Demons Mountains was perfect for his retreat.

Of course, precisely because this place was completely unregulated, necessary precautions were essential.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lu Qing flew into the Myriad Demons Mountains.

Two days later, he successfully located a natural formation.

“This formation gathers the spiritual energy and earth veins of a thousand miles in radius. It’s perfect for my retreat.”

Lu Qing stood high in the sky, a strange light in his eyes, and a look of joy on his face.

With his current mastery of formations, he could instantly determine

the location of the formation’s core from the topography of the mountains and rivers below. He flew down and headed for the center.

It was a seemingly unremarkable valley, but once inside, one could see something special.

The valley was overflowing with spiritual energy, and even the deep pool within was a true spiritual pool, flowing with spiritual water suitable for alchemy.

Lu Qing summoned a flying sword and began to carve through the cliffs of the valley.

Soon, he had unearthed a cave deep within the mountain.

He then arrived at the deep pool. Just as he was about to test the water’s quality, he heard an invisible, yet soul-shaking roar.

The surface of the pool suddenly exploded, and a gigantic figure flew out, opening its maw as vast as a hut and lunging at Lu Qing.

Despite the sudden change, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated it.

He opened his palm, and a multicolored, magical palm as powerful as a small mountain suddenly formed in mid-air and slammed towards the figure.

Boom!

A resounding, earth-shaking roar echoed, and the massive figure was sent flying by Lu Qing’s slap, slamming hard against the other side of the mountain wall and writhing in agony.

“Stop.”

But as Lu Qing softly uttered the word, the massive figure froze, enveloped in a blanket of yellow light, unable to move.

“It’s a white dragon,”

Lu Qing was surprised when he saw the figure clearly.

He had long sensed a faint presence within the deep pool.

He wasn’t surprised. After all, this valley was the focal point of a formation where the mountains and rivers of a thousand miles converged, a true treasure land for cultivation. It would have been a problem if it hadn’t been occupied by a living being.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the one occupying the valley was a white dragon.

And this white dragon looked quite different. It had an unusually beautiful coat of scales, four claws beneath its belly, and a pair of white jade horns on its head. It was clearly no ordinary spirit beast.

Curious, Lu Qing activated his supernatural power and looked towards it.

After a while, several messages appeared on the white dragon.

After Lu Qing read them, he was even more surprised.

“Frost Jade Dragon, an ice dragon with true dragon blood?”

Lu Qing hadn’t expected that this white dragon, now in the late Demon Pill stage, actually possessed the bloodline of a true dragon.

Seeing the plea for mercy in the white dragon’s eyes, Lu Qing pondered for a moment. He

decided that since he was attempting to usurp someone’s cultivation ground, he’d better be tactless.

He casually released a wisp of spiritual energy, which landed on the white dragon’s brow acupoint.

“I’m going to retreat here for a while. You’ll protect me from outside. You’ll naturally benefit later. If you try to be sneaky or even escape, you know the consequences.”

The white dragon, sensing the vast and majestic spiritual imprint within its brow acupoint, felt even more apprehensive and nodded repeatedly.

“I understand. Then go back and heal your wounds.”

Lu Qing casually released the restraining force from the white dragon and sent it back.

His previous palm strike had been quite powerful.

Even with the dragon’s formidable body, its skull was still cracked, nearly shattering half its head.

Now, blood, white with a hint of gold, continuously oozed from its mouth, dripping onto the ground and forming pools of frost.

Feeling the seal lift from its body, the white dragon was initially delighted, but Lu Qing’s words caused it to tremble again.

It nodded repeatedly to Lu Qing, expressing its submission, and then, with Lu Qing’s permission, slowly slid into the pool.

It had sustained serious injuries this time, and it would likely take years to fully recover.

Watching the white dragon disappear into the pool, Lu Qing smiled.

He wasn’t sure the white dragon would escape. The soul mark he had left on its brow acupoint wouldn’t be easily dispelled.

If it showed any ill intentions, he could detonate the soul mark. Even if he couldn’t completely kill it, it would certainly inflict severe damage to its soul.

The white dragon was quite intelligent, and he believed it knew what to do.

With this, Lu Qing not only successfully resolved the white dragon’s situation, but also gained a guardian for free—a pleasant surprise.

After this little incident, Lu Qing returned to his work.

The key was to utilize the terrain of this mountainous region to establish a formation around the valley.

As the focal point of a thousand-mile-wide formation, this valley possessed a rich earth energy, but its defensive capabilities were nearly nonexistent.

Lu Qing, intending to retreat there, naturally required thorough preparation.

Immediately, over the next several days, he ultimately spent several days constructing a massive formation around the valley to protect his retreat.

With a whoosh!

A jade talisman was launched deep into the earth, connecting with a vein.

The next moment, as the jade talisman gently vibrated, an invisible wave emanated.

Immediately, within a radius of dozens of miles, the numerous jade talismans Lu Qing had placed over the past few days vibrated in unison, connecting with one another.

In the depths, invisible to outsiders, the countless flows of earth energy suddenly became orderly, forming an incredibly powerful formation.

Sensing these changes, Lu Qing smiled, “It’s done.”

This formation was a grand one he had reconfigured by utilizing the natural formation of this thousand-mile-wide formation and incorporating it into the Zhoutian Star Formation.

With this grand formation, even those at the Yuanshen Realm, or below the Three Tribulations Realm, would be unable to easily break through and disrupt his cultivation.

After completing the formation, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light and quickly returned to the valley, flying into the cave.

He then activated the formation, closing the cave and preparing for his formal retreat.

As the cave closed, a white head quietly emerged from the deep pool in the valley and gazed towards the cave. The

white dragon surveyed the cave with fear and curiosity.

It was naturally terrified of that mysterious human.

A single slap had nearly killed it, and in its mind, this human must be the legendary Yuanshen Realm powerhouse.

But amidst this fear, it felt a surge of doubt.

It remembered how its father, while still alive, had repeatedly warned it not to reveal its true form to powerful human cultivators,

as those human cultivators were incredibly greedy.

Once they discovered its bloodline, they would resort to all means: disembowel it, remove its tendons, peel its skin, seize its demonic elixirs for alchemy, devour its flesh and blood, and refine its bones into magical weapons.

But this human cultivator, having easily defeated it, ultimately let it go without disemboweling it. Why?

The white dragon pondered for a long time, unable to comprehend the reason. Finally, he took another deep look at the cave and slowly sank into the deep pool.

It was unknown what the human cultivator had done in the past few days, but the spiritual energy in the valley had become much richer.

The spiritual energy in the cave at the bottom of the pool where it resided was more than ten times richer.

With such a rich spiritual energy, perhaps its injuries would fully recover in just six months, not just a few years.

Even if the spiritual energy in the valley remained this rich, in a few decades, it might even be able to achieve a breakthrough that had eluded it.

Could this be the benefit the human cultivator had promised, the reward for not escaping and instead helping him guard the cave entrance?

With many doubts, Bai Jiao returned to his cave to practice and heal his wounds.

The entire deep pool also completely returned to calm.

In the cave, in a separate quiet room, Lu Qing could naturally sense the movements of Bai Jiao.

But he didn’t care.

As long as that guy doesn’t make trouble, otherwise, it will be the only one who suffers.

He sat cross-legged in the cave, and with a thought, he released Xiao Li and Wu Xing.

“Next, I will go into seclusion for a long time. You should also practice well here and strive to break through as soon as possible. The spirit stones here are for you to use.

If you feel bored, you can relax in the valley, but you’re not allowed to go anywhere else.

This valley has been sealed off by a great formation. If you trespass and get hurt by it, I won’t take responsibility.”

Lu Qing waved his hand, and two storage bags flew to Xiao Li and Wu Xing respectively.

“Ah Qing, after you come out of retreat, can we go home?”

Xiao Li asked after catching the bag.

He remembered what Lu Qing had said before.

“If all goes well, we’ll be able to go home by the time I come out of retreat.” Lu Qing smiled faintly.

Xiao Li’s anticipation was instantly piqued at this.

As for Wu Xing, he was a little bewildered.

He had been in the Qiankun Yiqi bag for too long, and many things were still unclear to him. He didn’t know what his master and Xiao Li meant by their conversation.

However, he had made up his mind: after his master returned to retreat, he would ask Xiao Li, the elder sister, about what had happened recently.

And so, Lu Qing officially began his retreat in this nameless valley, striving to reach the profoundly mysterious tenth level of the Golden Core Realm. (End of Chapter)
