I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 707

Chapter 707: Wonderful Starry Sky, Exorcism

Whether it was the old doctor, Xiaoyan, or Han Lingshuang, it was impossible not to be curious about Lu Qing’s experiences in the starry sky.

After all, Lu Qing had been gone for so many years.

Since returning, not only had his strength greatly increased, to a point they couldn’t fathom,

but he also brought out Golden Dragon Tooth Rice and other extraordinary spiritual foods on the table.

His experiences in the starry sky must have been truly fascinating.

“The outside world?”

Lu Qing paused for a moment, noticing the expectant glances from Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang, before beginning to narrate.

“The outside world is indeed immense, with countless cultivation worlds. However, our realm is located in a dark zone at the very edge of a territory called the Great Yuan Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, reaching other worlds is not easy. A natural barrier, the Void Turbulence, blocks the way to the Great Yuan Immortal Realm.

When Xiaoli and the others and I entered the starry sky, we were nearly stopped by it, unable to continue…”

As Lu Qing slowly recounted his story, the old doctor, Xiaoyan, and the others finally understood what Lu Qing had experienced since his departure.

Of course, Lu Qing briefly glossed over the many thrilling encounters, focusing instead on his experiences along the way.

Even this alone left the old doctor, Xiaoyan, and the others in awe.

Although they had imagined the outside world might be fascinating, they hadn’t anticipated its sheer grandeur.

Especially when Lu Qing described the immensity of the Tianyuan World, comparing their current world to a firefly’s, the difference between it and the sun was like the difference between a firefly and the sun.

This truly astounded them, leaving them struggling to imagine just how vast that world truly was.

When Lu Qing explained that he had transcended the tribulation of the Yuanshen realm and achieved Yuanshen status,

the old doctor and the others took a deep breath.

“So, Ah Qing, you’re now a powerful Yuanshen realm powerhouse?”

the old doctor asked, somewhat incredulous.

“Well, after successfully transcending the tribulation in the Tianyuan World, I had originally planned to retreat for a while to consolidate my realm, but then a sudden impulse struck, and I decided to bring Xiaoli and the others back. Unexpectedly, we happened to catch those demons attacking the Holy Mountain.”

At this point, Lu Qing felt incredibly fortunate.

If he had not made a prompt decision and chosen to come back that day, he would have regretted it deeply.

After hearing his answer, the old doctor and the others were even more shocked. People

like Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang looked at Lu Qing with admiration.

At the same time, they also knew why the monster formed by the fusion of the three demons was so powerful, but in the hands of Lu Qing, it was suppressed without any resistance.

It turned out that Lu Qing had overcome the catastrophe of the soul and became the legendary soul master.

“What about you, Xiaoli?”

Xiaoyan suddenly asked Xiaoli, who was eating the spirit fish in his bowl with relish.

Because she also couldn’t sense the specific realm of Xiaoli and the Five Elements.

“Me?” Xiao Li tilted his head, looking up from his bowl. “My realm is similar to yours, Xiao Yan. I’m currently at the sixth stage of the Golden Core. Stinky Snake is a bit behind, only at the peak of the fourth stage. As for Xiao Bai, he recently broke through to the ninth stage of the Golden Core.”

In the Wu Clan’s Trial Secret Realm, while Lu Qing was in seclusion deducing the Soul Method, Xiao Li and the others also received training from a mysterious being. They

also absorbed a considerable amount of precious blood from a pool of blood.

However, that blood primarily enhanced Xiao Li and the others’ potential, not significantly improving their cultivation.

Furthermore, their time in the secret realm was relatively short.

Therefore, when they finally left, apart from Bai Jiao, who successfully broke through to the ninth stage of the Golden Core after years of accumulation,

Xiao Li and Wu Xing had made some progress, but not a significant breakthrough.

Furthermore, the cultivation speed of spirit beasts and demon beasts is inherently slower than that of human cultivators. Consequently, Wu Xing’s realm was currently at the bottom of the room, just above Han Lingshuang.

“Sixth Jindan Stage? But why can’t I sense your exact realm?”

Xiaoyan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Normally, when the difference in cultivation realms is relatively close, one can sense the other’s specific realm.

But now, not only could Xiaoyan not see through Xiaoli’s realm, but even Wuxing, whose cultivation was lower than hers, couldn’t see through it either.

More importantly, Xiaoli claimed that his realm was only the sixth Jindan Stage, but Xiaoyan’s keen perception told her that Xiaoli’s true strength was likely far greater than hers.

Even Wuxing, who was only at the fourth Jindan Stage, felt a subtle sense of unease.

“That’s because we all practice a special technique passed down by a senior. Unless we actively release our aura, even powerful primordial spirits find it difficult to discern our true realm,” Xiaoli explained.

He, Wuxing, and the White Dragon had all achieved success in the [Nine Transformations of the True Dragon].

This technique was incredibly profound, with the added bonus of being able to transform and conceal one’s aura.

This was why Xiaoyan and the old doctor couldn’t sense their true realm.

“With such a miraculous technique, it seems you’ve all been blessed with great fortune on this journey through the starry sky,” the old doctor exclaimed.

“Master, before returning this time, I also prepared some spiritual objects, perfect for you and Xiaoyan…”

At this point, Lu Qing paused, then continued, “And Palace Master Han, to increase your cultivation potential.”

“Ah, me?”

Han Lingshuang, who had been listening with rapt interest, was flattered when Lu Qing suddenly mentioned her.

“Your Excellency, how can this be…”

“They’re just some ordinary spiritual objects. Palace Master Han, there’s no need to refuse,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

He had already learned from the First Saint Lord that Han Lingshuang was in the Holy Mountain specifically to accompany Xiaoyan.

For this reason, she had given up most of the affairs of Hanshui Palace over the years, practically retreating to the background.

It was precisely because of her companionship that Xiaoyan’s temper hadn’t deteriorated further, leading to more extremes.

Lu Qing naturally had to repay such a favor.

Seeing Lu Qing say this, Han Lingshuang naturally didn’t know what to say.

In fact, she was actually quite delighted.

Of course, it wasn’t because of the spiritual object Lu Qing had mentioned, but the fact that Lu Qing had considered her meant that their relationship had become closer.

For the rest of the day, everyone continued to eat and chat, and the meal was a thoroughly enjoyable one.

Lu Qing’s spiritual food, in particular, was extremely nourishing and strengthened the body’s foundation.

By the end of the meal, not only had the old doctor and Xiaoyan’s injuries healed substantially.

Han Lingshuang, whose cultivation was relatively weak, was even more overwhelmed by the immense spiritual energy contained in the spiritual food, causing her face to flush and her mind to feel a little dizzy.

She had a feeling that after she completely digested this spiritual food, her cultivation would probably improve significantly.

After dinner, the old doctor returned to the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Han Lingshuang stayed at the Lu family’s residence.

That night, Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang, along with Xiaoli and Baijiao, huddled together in a room to chat in private, while Lu Qing retreated to his own.

Hearing the sounds of playfulness coming from the next room, he smiled and activated the formation in his room, blocking out all outside noise.

After this, Lu Qing immersed himself in the Lihuo Cauldron.

“Master,”

Yan immediately greeted Lu Qing upon his entrance.

“Are those people I captured still behaving well?” Lu Qing asked.

“Very well. With their strength, they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble in the Lihuo Cauldron,”

Yan said confidently.

The Lihuo Cauldron was now a peak-level mid-grade spiritual artifact.

Even the former Five Tribulations Demon King, the White Ape King, had been temporarily suppressed by it despite his injuries.

And what about a few demon cultivators who had recovered their Soul Formation Realm strength?

Even the Soul Realm cultivator Lu Qing had captured a few days ago was unable to do anything within the Lihuo Cauldron.

“Master, look.”

Yan waved his hand, and two spatial cages materialized. One contained the gloomy old Soul Realm cultivator Lu Qing had captured and ambushed them.

The other contained the monster that had attacked the Holy Mountain.

However, Lu Qing had shrunk the creature into a fleshy ball, making it look rather comical.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, his mind shifting slightly. He first concealed the gloomy old man’s spatial cage and focused his attention on the monster.

He removed the spatial cage and approached the fleshy ball.

With the shielding cage removed, the monster could once again sense the movements outside.

Initially, they were somewhat surprised, but upon seeing Lu Qing, they trembled, and fear flashed across all three of their heads.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Qing removed the sealing force from the fleshy ball, and it began to slowly grow larger.

However, after growing to about ten feet, it stopped, completely lacking the massive size of the tens of feet it had previously possessed.

The monster even struggled to shrink its body, shrinking even further.

If this weren’t its limit, it would have even considered shrinking itself to be shorter than Lu Qing, a display of awe.

Lu Qing paid no attention to the monster’s small movements.

He looked at it and said calmly, “You three are demonic cultivators who survived the ancient era of immortal cultivation, right?”

The three heads of the monsters glanced at each other, quickly communicating within their spirits. Finally, they decided that the handsome young man in the center, Xie Feng, would answer Lu Qing’s question.

“My Lord, yes, the three of us are cultivators who survived the previous era of immortal cultivation,” Xie Feng replied cautiously.

“You’re still not being honest enough,” Lu Qing shook his head. “You’re demonic cultivators, so be it. Don’t play tricks in front of me, or you’ll suffer.”

Upon hearing this, although Lu Qing’s tone held no murderous intent, a chill suddenly struck the hearts of the three demons.

The evil wind no longer dared to play it safe and quickly said, “Yes, sir. We are all demonic cultivators.”

“Since you are demonic cultivators from the previous era of immortal cultivation, then tell me how you managed to survive and what happened in the cultivation world before the spiritual energy dried up.”

The three demonic cultivators once again communicated through their souls.

After a few breaths, the evil wind spoke, “My lord, when this world’s spiritual artifacts began to deplete and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man threatened us, the righteous cultivators united as never before to surround and kill us demonic cultivators and seize our resources…”

As the evil wind detailed his account, Lu Qing realized that it was similar to what he had heard from the old dragon turtle.

It was just more detailed, and the demonic cultivator’s account was more biased towards himself.

He portrayed the righteous cultivators’ pursuit of them as unforgivable crimes, while they themselves were treated as victims.

“…Later, trapped in the polar demon cave, we were forced to devour each other to survive. We endured for tens of thousands of years until the spiritual energy revived and we were able to break free. My lord, this is roughly what happened.”

After Xie Feng finished his story, he fell silent, carefully observing Lu Qing’s reaction.

The other two heads also looked at Lu Qing cautiously.

They already knew that the young man before them was the one the ants in the outside world raved about, the one known as the best in the world.

However, he had disappeared for decades, rumored to have left this world to explore the stars.

This was precisely why they had so recklessly attacked the Holy Mountain.

But they never imagined that just when success was imminent, he would suddenly return.

Moreover, his realm and strength had reached a level that even those of them, who had once reached the Soul Realm, could hardly imagine.

Although they did not know how Lu Qing had acquired such terrifying power,

the three demons knew that this mysterious young man before them was a terrifying being that could crush them at any moment, and they dared not disrespect him anymore.

After hearing Xie Feng’s words, Lu Qing’s eyes flickered with disappointment.

He had originally thought he could get some unusual information about the previous era of immortal cultivation from these demons.

But the results were largely the same as what the old dragon turtle had said.

Seeing the disappointment on Lu Qing’s face, the three demons’ hearts skipped a beat.

Just then, Lu Qing added, “Let me ask you one last question. The last time you attacked the Holy Mountain, there were four of you. Where is the remaining demon cultivator now?”

“My Lord, the remaining demon cultivator, named Eagle Demon, was injured by our Master not long ago and has since vanished. Even we don’t know where he’s gone,” Xie Feng replied respectfully.

“You’re allies, yet you can’t communicate with each other?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow.

“We may be allies, but the Eagle Demon is cunning and would never reveal his hiding place, nor would he leave behind any means of communication to locate him.”

“If that’s the case, then you’re useless.”

Lu Qing, upon hearing this, stopped talking, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The three demons were horrified.

“My Lord…”

But before they could even plead for mercy, a wave of his primordial spirit descended upon their spirits.

Countless illusions enveloped their minds.

After more than ten breaths, Lu Qing, having verified from the spirits of the three demons that there was indeed no trace of the final demon, offered no further mercy.

A beam of transparent Southern Ming Li Fire appeared, instantly incinerating the monster to ash. (End of this chapter)
