I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Thunder Sea Wonders, Embarking on the Return Journey

As the Void Flying Boat entered the Gangfeng Layer, countless Gangfeng thunderbolts struck it.

The power of each Gangfeng thunderbolt rivaled the full force of a Nascent Soul Stage 1 cultivator.

The vast expanse of Gangfeng thunder filled the air, as if dozens or even hundreds of Nascent Soul Stage 1 masters were bombarding the Void Flying Boat with indiscriminate force.

“As expected of the Grand World’s Gangfeng Layer! It’s infinitely more terrifying than my home world!”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but exclaim at the might of the massive Gangfeng thunderbolts.

We’d only just entered the Gangfeng Layer, and the Gangfeng thunderbolts were already so formidable. Wouldn’t it be even more terrifying if they penetrated deeper into the Gangfeng Layer?

And so it happened.

As the Void Flying Boat continued to surge upward, the pervasive Gangfeng thunderbolts grew increasingly terrifying.

Once they reached the center, Lu Qing felt as if the Void Flying Boat was surrounded by dozens of Nascent Soul Stage 2 and 3 cultivators, constantly attacking them.

Even the incredibly solid space of the Tianyuan Great World was torn apart by countless tiny cracks.

Fortunately, the Void Flying Boat was essentially a Dao weapon. A weaker spiritual weapon wouldn’t have been able to withstand such a dense barrage of Gang Lei.

Fortunately, the Gang Lei only attacked in a direct manner. If it had coordinated with a cultivator, even the Void Flying Boat might not have been able to withstand it.

However, this meant the Void Flying Boat consumed a tremendous amount of energy with each breath.

The rate of energy drawn from the Void Core alone was insufficient to fully supply it.

To maintain the Void Flying Boat’s defenses, Lu Qing had to constantly replace Spirit Stones to replenish its energy.

“Ah Qing, look, what’s that?”

Xiao Li suddenly pointed in a direction and called out to Lu Qing, watching the Void Flying Boat continue its journey through the Gang Lei layer.

Lu Qing looked over. Within this Gang Lei layer, even he didn’t dare to casually use his Yuan Shen power to survey his surroundings. He

relied more heavily on the Void Flying Boat’s own power to sense the surroundings.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qing’s gaze suddenly fixed.

Amidst the boundless thunder, a golden lotus flower took root in the sea of lightning.

The countless powerful thunderbolts, far from destroying it, were instead continuously absorbed by it.

“What kind of treasure is this?”

Lu Qing was about to examine it when the golden lotus flower, as if sensing something, suddenly dived into the sea of lightning and vanished.

Its speed, as swift as lightning, left Lu Qing completely unable to capture it.

Furthermore, the Void Flying Boat’s speed was severely limited within the layer of gale winds, so Lu Qing could only watch helplessly as the golden lotus flower, shimmering with lightning, vanished.

“What a shame!”

Watching the golden lotus disappear, Lu Qing felt a pang of regret.

He also realized that his own strength was still far behind.

After emerging from the secret realm, whether it was the wonders of the endless void or the golden lotus flower, it was beyond his current reach.

For the next few minutes, the Void Flying Boat continued its journey through the gale winds.

Throughout this journey, Lu Qing also saw other remarkable objects flash by in the sea of lightning.

Some even felt a bit overwhelmed by their power.

For example, there was a golden loach the length of an arm. Though small, the moment Lu Qing saw it, a palpitation welled up in his heart.

It was a feeling of threat that those Five Tribulations Souls and demon kings hadn’t previously posed.

Fortunately, the golden loach seemed uninterested in the Void Flying Boat, simply passing by and disappearing.

Climbing higher and higher, Lu Qing finally steered the Void Flying Boat through the vast layer of gale winds and arrived before the boundary membrane emanating boundless power.

“Finally, I’m here,”

Lu Qing sighed, gazing at the gale winds behind him.

Just now, as they passed through the final layer of gale winds, the might of the thunderbolts was unimaginable.

Even the Void Flying Boat’s defenses felt precarious.

He estimated that with the power of those thunderbolts, even a being with a Fifth or Sixth Tribulations Soul would be shattered, unable to withstand the force.

After sighing for a moment, Lu Qing finally looked toward the boundary membrane before him.

As he’d expected, the Tianyuan Great World’s boundary membrane was immensely powerful. It appeared only a thin layer, yet it held an incredible power.

It blocked almost everything, even spatial fluctuations.

Therefore, Lu Qing couldn’t use the teleportation jade talisman to teleport directly out.

Even the Void Flying Boat couldn’t perform a spatial jump.

Of course, this wasn’t because the Void Flying Boat wasn’t powerful enough, but rather, at Lu Qing’s current level of cultivation, he couldn’t yet unleash the full power of this rare treasure.

Otherwise, everything would be uncertain.

After all, the Void Flying Boat possessed the essence of a Daoist instrument.

And this time, Lu Qing had come this far with great difficulty, hoping to leverage the Void Flying Boat’s Daoist nature to forge a powerful escape.

With this in mind, Lu Qing said to Xiao Li and the others, “Xiao Li, you two enter the Lihuo Cauldron first.”

Xiao Li and the Five Elements didn’t hesitate, and obediently allowed themselves to be taken into the Lihuo Cauldron by Lu Qing.

Then, Lu Qing looked at the boundary membrane before him and began to steer the Void Flying Boat, slowly approaching.

The closer he got to the boundary membrane, the more he felt a force pushing the Void Flying Boat backward.

And the closer he got, the stronger this force became.

It was as if the boundary membrane was “rejecting” everything from approaching it.

This forced Lu Qing to circulate his mana, constantly increasing his strength to allow the Void Flying Boat to slowly advance.

During this process, he didn’t dare act hastily, fearing the repercussions of the boundary membrane would cause him to react, and who knows what would happen.

Under Lu Qing’s control, the Void Flying Boat edged closer to the boundary membrane.

Finally, it touched the barrier.

But the moment the Void Flying Boat touched the barrier, a sudden and catastrophic change occurred.

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon the Void Flying Boat, shaking the entire craft as if to shatter it completely.

Some of the pressure even penetrated the boat’s hull and transmitted to Lu Qing, causing his bones to creak. His

body, having reached the True Wizard realm, showed signs of withering.

Lu Qing’s expression suddenly changed. Seeing that the boundary membrane had finally reacted, he no longer concealed his fear.

All his mana surged, pouring into the Void Flying Boat.

With a single wave of his hand, he directly injected ten high-grade spirit stones into the core of the Void Flying Boat, detonating it.

How terrifying was the spiritual energy contained within these ten high-grade spirit stones?

This was only possible with a rare treasure like the Void Flying Boat, a Dao-grade artifact. Otherwise, a weaker spiritual artifact, even a mid-grade peak spiritual artifact like the Lihuo Ding, would struggle to absorb such a vast spiritual aura in such a short time.

With this powerful boost, the Void Flying Boat instantly erupted with dazzling light, waves of spatial force swirling around it. Its speed soared to an extreme as it plunged headfirst into the boundary membrane.

This action seemed to have completely enraged the boundary membrane.

A crushing force even stronger than before descended upon the Void Flying Boat, causing the treasure to creak and groan.

Fortunately, the Void Flying Boat, worthy of being a Dao-grade component, was indestructible. No matter how terrifying the pressure, it remained steadfast, not even deforming.

Lu Qing, nearby, on the other hand, was in a far more miserable state.

Even after being weakened by numerous magical arrays, the pressure that seeped into the Void Flying Boat still fractured his bones and ruptured his muscles.

Fortunately, given his vitality, such injuries could not damage him fundamentally.

Lu Qing stared sharply at the front, mobilizing all the magic power, spiritual power, and physical strength in his body and infusing them into the core of the flying boat.

This surge of power caused the Void Flying Boat’s might to surge even further. Spatial forces exploded repeatedly, shaking off the pressure of the barrier.

Then, with a sudden swung, it burst through the barrier with a bang and surged forth.

If viewed from above, this scene

would have been like the vast, boundless barrier of the Tianyuan World suddenly bulging, then opening a tiny hole, and a tiny silver Flying Boat suddenly bursting forth from within.

“Finally out!”

Lu Qing rejoiced upon seeing this.

He neglected to heal his wounds and immediately activated the Void Flying Boat, accelerating it step by step, escaping deeper into the starry sky.

The power surges unleashed when the Void Flying Boat breached the barrier were too powerful.

Perhaps powerful beings within the Tianyuan World had already sensed them.

For safety’s sake, Lu Qing had to depart at top speed.

Once in the starry sky, the Void Flying Boat’s domain was

within its own. Freed from the constraints of this world, it accelerated to unimaginable speeds in a matter of seconds.

Even a Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit would be unable to match it.

Furthermore, as the Void Flying Boat accelerated, waves of spatial force surged around it.

The next moment, it pierced the void and vanished without a trace.

Within a few breaths of time,

a figure suddenly appeared within the boundary membrane, at the point where the power had just erupted.

It was an old Taoist priest dressed in a simple robe. Upon appearing, he immediately surveyed the area.

Upon seeing the slowly healing hole in the boundary membrane, now reduced to the size of a fist, his eyes widened in disbelief.

“The boundary membrane has been pierced! Who possesses such power? An Eight Tribulation or Nine Tribulation Soul?”

The old Taoist priest was filled with astonishment.

He knew the immense strength of the boundary membrane of the Tianyuan Great World.

Even a Seven Tribulation Soul master like him would find it extremely difficult to breach it.

But how could a supreme being of the Eight Tribulation or Nine Tribulation Soul level do such a frivolous thing as to attack the boundary membrane for no reason?

Furthermore, he said that no one above the Eight Tribulation Soul level existed in the Tianyuan Great World today.

Those who have reached this realm are almost always wandering the starry sky, searching for opportunities to advance further. Few still linger in the greater world.

The old Taoist lingered for a long time before the boundary membrane, exploring everywhere and calculating with his fingers.

Ultimately, finding nothing, he reluctantly left.

However, this incident also intrigued him, becoming a mystery that he could not fully understand.

…

Buzz!

A spatial vortex suddenly appeared in a certain patch of starry sky, and a silver flying boat suddenly emerged from it.

Unbeknownst to Lu Qing, after he left, a terrifyingly powerful being had actually arrived to investigate.

He activated the Void Flying Boat and leaped through space, escaping countless miles.

After all, the spiritual energy in the Void Flying Boat’s core had not yet been exhausted after breaking through the boundary membrane, and the void travel it performed was extremely far-reaching.

So, upon emerging from the spatial vortex, he immediately retrieved his star-fixing disk to confirm his position.

“This spatial jump has actually landed me near the ‘Hongyuan Realm’?”

After some exploration, Lu Qing’s face was filled with surprise.

The “Hongyuan Realm” is a medium-sized world, not particularly close to the Tianyuan World.

It had taken him a full year to reach the Xiaocang Realm from the “Hongyuan Realm” by piloting his Void Flying Boat.

Unexpectedly, this single space jump had saved him a year.

“After the Void Flying Boat merged with the core and its power returned to that of a top-grade spiritual weapon, its space jump distance has also been greatly enhanced,”

Lu Qing’s face lit up with joy.

However, he also understood that the reason these space jumps were so far-reaching was

not only due to the Void Flying Boat’s increased power, but also due to the ten top-grade spirit stones he had previously injected into the Void Core.

After the immense spiritual energy had powered the Void Flying Boat through the Tianyuan World’s boundary membrane, a significant amount remained.

This was the reason the Void Flying Boat could travel such an unimaginable distance this time.

If Lu Qing were to do it again, he wouldn’t be willing to part with it.

Top-grade spirit stones are hard to come by, and using one means one less.

Although he had a small supply, he was reluctant to use them carelessly.

After sighing, Lu Qing’s mind shifted slightly, and he released Xiao Li and the others.

“Ah Qing, how’s it going? Did we make it out?”

Xiao Li asked immediately upon emerging.

The pressure from the boundary membrane seeping into the Void Flying Boat was too intense, and to protect Xiao Li and the others, Lu Qing had completely sealed off the Lihuo Cauldron.

Therefore, Xiao Li and the others had no idea of the situation outside.

“We succeeded,” Lu Qing said with a smile, pointing behind him. “Look, what’s that?”

The little creatures quickly glanced back, and saw a ball of light the size of a face hanging in the starry sky behind them.

“Is that the Tianyuan Great World?”

Xiao Li identified it, and was immediately surprised. “Didn’t we just get out? How come we’re already so far away?”

Wu Xing was also shocked.

The White Dragon, on the other hand, looked a little bewildered.

Since its birth, it had remained within the Tianyuan Great World, never having ventured outside, and lacked a precise understanding of distances within the starry sky.

On the other hand, Xiao Li and Wu Xing, who had traveled the starry sky for years, knew full well how far away they were from the Tianyuan World.

“After I emerged, I activated my Void Flying Boat and performed a Void Shuttle…”

Lu Qing briefly explained, and Xiao Li and the others finally understood what was happening.

Xiao Li suddenly brightened: “So, we can go home now?”

“Yes, we can,” Lu Qing nodded. “Xiao Bai, say goodbye to your hometown. We don’t know when we’ll be back next time.”

Bai Jiao paused for a moment, then looked back at the Tianyuan World suspended in the starry sky, a complex emotion in his eyes.

Lu Qing also gazed back.

On this journey through the starry sky, the Tianyuan World was the world he had spent the longest in.

It was also the world he had gained the most from.

But at the same time, this world still held many secrets he had yet to fully explore.

For example, the wondrous sights deep within the void, and the rare treasures within the Gangfeng Layer.

So, one day, he would return.

After taking a final, deep look at the Tianyuan World, Lu Qing activated the Void Flying Boat, which transformed into a streak of silver light and sped off towards his home world. (End of this chapter)
