I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 708

Chapter 708: The Art of Immortality, [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Destiny Chapter]

Though the monster formed by the fusion of the three demonic cultivators possessed near-spiritual-spiritual-level strength, how could it withstand the refining of the Southern Ming Lihuo?

In a single breath, it was reduced to ashes, reduced to nothingness, without even a scream.

Lu Qing, however, remained calm.

Knowing that these three demons had captured hundreds of thousands of lives for blood sacrifice to refine their unholy demonic treasures,

he had already mentally sentenced these cultivators to certain death.

Even if there was one remaining cultivator in hiding, he would find a way to locate and utterly destroy him.

And after searching his soul just now, he had a plan for finding him.

After slaying the monster, Lu Qing approached the spatial cage that held the gloomy old man.

He watched the gloomy old man sitting cross-legged inside, his expression composed and composed.

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised. “He’s always so calm?”

“When he first came in, he tried to struggle, trying to break free,” Yan replied. “But when he realized it was futile, he gave up. But he seems to have some confidence. After calming down, he’s been like this ever since. I wonder what he’s relying on.”

“What’s he relying on?”

Lu Qing smiled. He remembered the note he had retrieved from the gloomy old man that day, and then waved his hand to remove the spatial cage’s shielding effect.

The gloomy old man sat cross-legged in the spatial cage, sensing only a void and darkness.

Suddenly, he caught sight of a bright light around him, startled. When he saw Lu Qing and “Yan,” his body trembled slightly, and a look of fear crossed his eyes.

The gloomy old man had been trapped in this spatial cage for some time.

During this time, he had pondered it over and over, and he had long since understood.

That day, he had truly hit a wall.

The Jindan realm kid he’d so easily manipulated back then had somehow gained some kind of celestial opportunity over the years, not only achieving the Yuanshen realm but also reaching a power level he couldn’t even imagine.

Even he, a Yuanshen second-level tribulation powerhouse, was no match for him.

Despite being suppressed, the gloomy old man remained unfazed, for he still had a trump card. He

hadn’t used it yet because he wanted to see what the kid’s purpose was in trapping him in this spiritual artifact space.

Now, finally, Lu Qing had appeared.

Lu Qing and “Yan” simply watched in silence, neither rushing to speak. In the end, it was the gloomy old man who lost his temper.

“Boy, what are you looking at?”

The gloomy old man could tell that “Yan” was merely the spirit of this spiritual artifact space, so he simply stared at Lu Qing.

“Old man, I see you seem quite confident.”

Lu Qing naturally offered no politeness to the gloomy old man who had repeatedly attacked him.

“I’m not so confident. This old ancestor simply couldn’t imagine that a Jindan-level warrior, who had to flee from my clutches back then, would transform into the Yuanshen realm in just a few decades.

I’m quite curious about what kind of extraordinary encounters and celestial karmic connections you’ve encountered over the years that have allowed you to increase your strength so dramatically.”

The gloomy old man calmly looked at Lu Qing and directly questioned him.

“You’re not qualified to question me,” Lu Qing offered no explanation, simply saying, “You’re so confident simply because you’ve imprinted your soul mark into the core of your home world.

As long as the mark remains, even if this physical body perishes, you can forge a new body from the world’s origin and be reborn. Am I right?”

“Impossible! How did you know?!”

The gloomy old man’s composure faded upon hearing this. His expression suddenly changed.

He couldn’t believe that Lu Qing had seen through his most powerful trump card so easily.

He even revealed the true nature of his immortality.

Even his closest confidants and disciples were unaware of this secret!

His disciples only knew he could be reborn from the blood pool, but they didn’t know the true reason for his ability.

So, when Lu Qing revealed his greatest secret, the grim old man’s mind was in a state of panic.

His dominance of his home world was due to his secret technique of immortality and continuous rebirth.

If the righteous cultivators of his home world learned the secret of his immortality, they would surely do everything they could to destroy his soul imprint, which rested on the world’s origin.

He couldn’t imagine the kind of counterattack he would face.

The grim old man looked at Lu Qing, his composure gone.

He couldn’t understand how this young man, whom he had only met twice, could know his deepest secrets.

“Nothing is impossible. If it weren’t for this, why do you think I spared your life that day instead of crushing you to death?

Because I’m also very interested in your secret method of placing the soul mark on the origin of the world.”

The gloomy old man listened to Lu Qing’s words, and a very bad feeling arose in his heart.

He acted decisively, and the Yuan Shen in his body began to work at full speed. A trace of destructive aura began to emanate from his body.

However, even though he was decisive enough, he was still a step too late.

Just as his Yuan Shen had just started to work, a wave of soul had already fallen on his Yuan Shen.

Suddenly, countless illusions emerged from the gloomy old man’s mind, making him gradually lose his mind.

“Want to self-destruct your Yuan Shen? In front of me, you don’t even have the qualifications to commit suicide.”

With Lu Qing’s cold words, the gloomy old man’s mind completely sank into illusions.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Qing’s eyes flickered. The gloomy old man’s entire body trembled under the shock of his primordial spirit. Then, his primordial spirit energy rapidly vanished, and his life force gradually vanished.

It was his primordial spirit that Lu Qing had directly annihilated.

However, despite having slain the gloomy old man, a hint of regret lingered in Lu Qing’s eyes.

“As expected of a primordial spirit realm cultivator, his will is unwavering, and he won’t be easily extorted.” Although

only half a quarter of an hour had passed in the real world

, at Lu Qing’s current realm, decades had passed within the magical illusion he had conjured.

During these decades, the gloomy old man, though lost in the illusion, had guarded his secret within, never revealing it.

Only at the very last moment did he reveal the secret method that allowed his primordial spirit to connect with the essence of the world.

“The minor magical power of [Psychedelic] is naturally invincible against the Jindan realm, but it does struggle against those at the higher levels of the primordial spirit realm,”

Lu Qing said with a sudden realization.

At the Jindan realm, he’d repeatedly achieved remarkable results using his [Illusion] against his enemies.

However, reaching the Yuanshen realm, this minor magical power wasn’t as effective.

The Yuanshen realm’s spirits, tempered by heavenly tribulations and numerous calamities, had long since become incredibly resilient, their steadfast Daoist heart steadfast, and their resistance to illusions immense.

Even the minor magical power of [Illusion] couldn’t easily shake their minds.

This time, Lu Qing was able to draw the gloomy old man into the illusion.

Firstly, he had suppressed him, leaving him with little resistance.

Secondly, the gloomy old man was only a Yuanshen second-tribulation powerhouse, his spiritual power dwarfing that of his, who had condensed the Yuanshen realm.

Even so, he nearly failed, barely managing to extract the man’s secret technique.

“It seems I’ll have to prioritize my magical cultivation after I finish all the things I’ve got going on these days,”

Lu Qing finally decided.

The two magical powers he had acquired back then, [Great Strength] and [Psychedelic], though only minor, held boundless potential, capable of increasing their levels through practice.

However, cultivating these abilities required comprehending the Great Dao. Forcing the practice could easily backfire, leading to the destruction of the soul and spirit.

Even Lu Qing, at the Golden Core stage, wouldn’t have dared attempt this.

Now that he had reached the Soul Realm, his spirit and soul had become a thousand times more powerful. He now possessed the qualifications to comprehend the Great Dao and attempt to increase his magical powers.

However, this was only the qualification; whether he could truly succeed would only be determined after he had fully practiced.

“However, this time’s gains were unexpectedly rich. I didn’t expect this old man’s secret technique to be so profound.”

Lu Qing’s heart burned as he thought of the secret technique he had just extracted from the gloomy old man.

He hadn’t expected the other man’s secret technique, where the soul could hold the essence of the world, to be even more profound than he had anticipated.

The gloomy old man’s secret technique was called the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Entrustment Seal].

It was a secret technique he had discovered during one of his explorations of the starry sky, in a mysterious and mystical realm.

This technique was incredibly profound, requiring the imprint of one’s primordial spirit to be imprinted within the world’s origin, thereby guaranteeing the immortality of one’s primordial spirit and granting multiple opportunities for rebirth.

As long as the imprint was successful, and the primordial spirit imprint remained indestructible, even if the main body was destroyed and the soul annihilated,

the practitioner could utilize the primordial spirit imprint to be reborn from the world’s origin, a truly miraculous method of survival.

Of course, such a powerful technique was not without its limitations.

Firstly, the threshold for practicing this technique was extremely high.

Even that special primordial spirit imprint was not something that could be easily condensed.

It required countless trials and tribulations, condensing it to a hint of the “immortality” state.

Furthermore, once the primordial spirit imprint was condensed, imprinting it within the world’s origin was equally challenging.

While the power of the Yuan Shen realm’s primordial spirit is immense, it’s as dwarfed as an ant compared to the very essence of a world, even a small one.

Trying to imprint such a tiny primordial spirit upon the essence of a world is like trying to imprint snow upon the scorching sun.

A moment’s carelessness would incinerate it, reducing it to nothingness.

The gloomy old man’s initial success stemmed from the secret techniques he acquired within the secret realm of the astral sky, along with several mystical treasures.

It was with the aid of these treasures that he was able to successfully imprint his primordial spirit upon the essence of his home world,

thereby establishing his unparalleled dominance and suppressing his home world for millennia.

Within the gloomy old man’s home world, his reputation as the “Immortal Blood Ancestor” was enough to send tremors of fear down the spine of any righteous cultivator.

Few dared to confront this immortal monster, capable of resurrecting no matter how many times he was slain.

Of course, after understanding the [Mayfly Life Seal], Lu Qing also realized that while this secret technique, while miraculous, didn’t truly grant practitioners immortality.

First, if anyone could find and destroy the soul imprinted within the world’s origin, the technique would be broken.

Secondly, the number of times the [Mayfly Life Seal] could be reborn was limited.

It could only be reborn nine times at most before the technique ceased to function.

Furthermore, each rebirth severely damaged the practitioner’s primordial essence, requiring time to recover.

However, despite its limitations, Lu Qing still considered it an incredibly powerful life-saving technique.

In particular, the [Mayfly Life Seal] stated that as practitioners of this technique’s cultivation continued to improve,

their soul imprinted within the world’s origin would continuously draw upon its power and grow stronger.

In the end, it might even be possible to supplant the Heavenly Heart with one’s own heart, usurp the Heavenly Heart, and completely control the very essence of the world, thus achieving the supreme realm of eternal life, equal to Heaven and Earth, the immortality of the world and oneself!

Of course, to achieve this level of supplanting Heaven’s Heart with one’s own heart requires an extremely high level of cultivation.

Even the most powerful cultivators who have reached the ninth level of the Soul Tribulation would find it difficult to achieve.

Lu Qing didn’t know when he would be able to reach this level.

“However, if I can truly control the World’s Origin, perhaps there’s hope of completely resolving the crisis of spiritual energy extinction that occurs once every tens of thousands of years in my home world.”

Lu Qing, perceiving the mysteries recorded in the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Destiny Chapter], suddenly felt a surge of enlightenment.

He had always been puzzled by the tens of thousands of years of spiritual energy extinction in his home world.

He didn’t know how to resolve this issue.

But now, within the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Destiny Chapter], he saw a glimmer of hope.

“This secret method must be practiced successfully. After practicing the things at hand, you can comprehend and practice it together with the two magical powers.”

After Lu Qing made the decision, he chatted with “Yan” for a few words, and his mind withdrew from the Lihuo Ding.

Then, he started the state of practicing supernatural powers to comprehend the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Destiny Chapter] he had just obtained.

There was no conversation that night. When the sky brightened, Lu Qing woke up from the state of practice, but there was amazement in his eyes.

After a night of comprehension, he felt more and more that this [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Destiny Chapter] was profound and exquisite.

It can be said that this is indeed an unparalleled secret method that is not inferior to the [Eternal Heavenly Witch Body].

What’s even more rare is that it is also a Yuanshen secret method!

“I really don’t know what kind of peerless master created this secret method. This world is indeed much deeper than I imagined.” (End of this chapter)
