I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 713

Chapter 713: Retreat and Contemplate, Descendants of the Immortal Clan, Guixu Secret Realm

“Brother, what’s the surprise?”

Xiaoyan couldn’t help but ask.

“I’ll keep this a secret for now. You’ll know once your transformation is complete.”

Lu Qing kept it a secret, then produced a jade bottle.

“You will refine the Mysterious Ice Cold Flame into your natal spiritual fire. Nourished by this spiritual fire, your body’s transformation should last for quite some time.

Once your transformation is complete, you can try refining the Yuan Blood in this jade bottle to strengthen your physical body.

The stronger your physical body, the deeper and more powerful the mana it can withstand. This is an unchanging principle.

By then, your foundation will naturally be extremely strong, making it much easier to overcome the tribulation of the Yuan Soul.

As for the key to refining the Yuan Blood, you should have heard it from Master yesterday, right?”

“Yes, Xiaoyan knows. Yuan Blood contains evil spirits, so you should refine it according to your ability.” Xiaoyan nodded.

“Just remember, I still have quite a bit of Yuan Blood here. You can refine it with your sister Han later, so she won’t be embarrassed to accept these spiritual objects.”

Lu Qing was still very grateful to Han Lingshuang.

She abandoned the affairs of Hanshui Palace and spent years accompanying Xiaoyan in the Holy Mountain, significantly slowing her temper and the speed with which her cultivation techniques affected her.

Lu Qing was bound to repay this favor.

However, he also knew that Han Lingshuang would likely not appreciate their overly polite approach, so it was best to let Xiaoyan handle this matter.

“I understand, brother,” Xiaoyan nodded seriously.

“Alright, you should practice first. You just refined the Mysterious Ice Cold Flame into your own spiritual fire. This spiritual fire has quite unique properties. You should experience it carefully. Once you fully master it, the benefits will be significant.

I’ll go to the Holy Mountain to inform the three Holy Lords of the Eagle Demon’s death and arrange some matters. Then I’ll be back,”

Lu Qing instructed Xiaoyan.

“Okay, brother, you go,” Xiaoyan replied obediently.

Lu Qing immediately left Xiaoyan at home to practice while he, Xiaoli, summoned the Void Flying Boat, and headed for the Holy Mountain.

To save time, Lu Qing once again utilized his Void Travel ability, maneuvering his Void Flying Boat directly above the Holy Mountain.

After all, the space of his home world was far less stable than that of the Tianyuan World, and using Void Travel wouldn’t consume much of Lu Qing’s mana.

Gazing at the Holy Mountain below, Lu Qing retracted his Void Flying Boat and descended with Xiao Li.

Because Lu Qing hadn’t deliberately restrained his presence, his arrival had already been noticed by the three Holy Lords.

When he landed on the Holy Mountain, the three Holy Lords came to the summit to greet him.

“Greetings, three Holy Lords.”

“Have you sorted out your family affairs?”

the First Holy Lord asked, after the three Holy Lords returned the greeting.

“Yes,” Lu Qing nodded. “I’ve come here to inform the three Holy Lords. Of the four demonic leaders who attacked the Holy Mountain, the last, the Eagle Demon, who had been hiding in the shadows, was slain by me yesterday. You no longer need to worry about him threatening the world.”

“The last demon is dead too?”

the three Holy Lords rejoiced.

Their greatest concern was the last remaining demon.

After all, he was a powerful demon cultivator in the late Jindan realm. Aside from Lu Qing and Xiaoyan, no one in the entire Holy Mountain could handle him.

Now, hearing that the demon had been slain by Lu Qing, how could they not be delighted?

“Young friend, you’ve eliminated another demon. This is truly a tremendous deed,” the First Saint Lord said sincerely.

“It was a piece of cake,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

He didn’t elaborate on how he had tracked down the Eagle Demon and slain him.

But the three Saint Lords didn’t doubt Lu Qing’s words. After all, they knew that Lu Qing’s magical powers had already reached a level they could hardly imagine.

While searching for the demon would be extremely difficult for them, for Lu Qing, it might be a piece of cake.

“Now, we can officially begin our campaign to wipe out all the demon cultivators in the world,”

the First Saint Lord exclaimed excitedly.

The other two Saint Lords also showed signs of excitement.

Previously, they were wary of the four late-stage Jindan realm demon cultivators and had been hesitant to send out too many Holy Mountain disciples to fight demons.

Now that the four demon leaders were dead, they could officially begin their purge of the demon cultivators.

“Very well, I’ll leave those rampant minor demon cultivators to you. I’ll give you a new batch of talismans later to aid you.”

Lu Qing didn’t intend to travel the world and slay the demon cultivators single-handedly. Instead, he planned to leave this task to the Holy Mountain.

He couldn’t always protect the Holy Mountain; his disciples needed to be tempered.

Otherwise, without experience, the Holy Mountain disciples would never grow.

So, as he had done before, he simply prepared a batch of talismans to inspire the Holy Mountain disciples’ resolve to slay demons.

“Thank you, young friend!”

The three Holy Lords were delighted upon hearing

this. Although Lu Qing had left a considerable number of talismans at the Holy Mountain before his departure,

they had long since been depleted over the years.

Although the talismans they crafted were later replenished by the elders skilled in talisman making, their talismans, whether in power or sophistication, were not even a fraction inferior to those crafted by Lu Qing, and were practically on a different level.

So, upon hearing that Lu Qing was about to bring out another batch of talismans, the three Saint Lords were naturally delighted.

With Lu Qing’s talismans, they would be even more confident in their quest to annihilate the demonic cultivators.

Immediately, Lu Qing left a batch of talismans at the Holy Mountain and returned to Jiuli Village.

Upon returning home, he saw Xiaoyan and Han Lingshuang both cultivating at home. He didn’t disturb them, but instead left a message and quietly led Xiaoli into the Shiwan Mountains, arriving at the valley where the Jade Transformation Cavern was located.

After paying his respects to Li Weitian, Lu Qing entered the Jade Transformation Cavern.

Despite the passage of decades, the Jade Transformation Cavern remained largely unchanged, save for a richer spiritual energy.

Sensing Lu Qing’s arrival, the puppet clone emerged from the meditation chamber.

Seeing the puppet clone, Lu Qing felt a sense of wonder.

This puppet clone had cultivated within the Jade Transformation Cavern for years, making significant progress and now reaching the third stage of the Golden Core stage.

However, as a puppet, it hadn’t experienced the trials of the heavenly tribulation, and the essence condensed within its body was that of a Void Core. Therefore

, its foundation was somewhat inferior to that of a true Golden Core cultivator.

Of course, because the spirit within this puppet clone was a wisp of spirit seed that Lu Qing had separated back then, it possessed many of his memories, and its application of Taoist techniques was beyond the reach of ordinary Jindan realm cultivators.

Therefore, an ordinary Jindan level three cultivator would hardly be a match for this puppet clone.

“I need to practice here for a while. You will protect me,”

Lu Qing said to the puppet clone.

The puppet clone didn’t say anything, but simply nodded slightly before sitting cross-legged at the cave entrance.

Seeing this, Lu Qing didn’t take it seriously.

The puppet clone and he were one, a mere puppet possessing some of his memories, without a consciousness of its own.

He had it guard the entrance, effectively separating a strand of his mind to protect him.

If the separated soul seed had developed an independent consciousness, Lu Qing wouldn’t have practiced this secret technique in the first place, and might even have killed it outright.

He held so many secrets; how could he possibly have left such a significant hidden danger?

After giving his instructions to the puppet clone, Lu Qing approached the cave wall and examined the runes of the formation.

With Lu Qing’s current mastery of formations, the formation within the Jade Cavern was no longer a secret to him.

He could tell that the person who had designed and evolved this Jade Cavern must have been a master of the talismanic realm.

Even within the Divine Talisman Sect, his status and position would likely be high.

Lu Qing observed for a moment, then sighed.

The Divine Talisman Sect’s legacy had immensely aided him in his cultivation.

Even within the Lesser Cang Realm, the various talismans he crafted, drawing on the Divine Talisman Sect’s rune heritage, had earned him a substantial sum of spirit stones.

Those spirit stones had laid a solid foundation for his cultivation .

Furthermore, he was able to refine the Jade Teleportation Talisman, and later, freely travel within Zhoutian City, manipulating numerous Soul Realm cultivators at his fingertips.

All of this was due to the profound mastery of formations instilled in him by the Divine Talisman Sect’s legacy.

“It’s a shame that during this journey through the starry sky, I didn’t find any information about the cultivators who left their home world during the previous era of immortal cultivation.”

The starry sky was simply too vast. The number of

cultivation worlds within the Great Yuan Immortal Realm alone was countless.

Lu Qing had no idea where the cultivators who had departed their home world tens of thousands of years ago on the Boundary-Breaking Boat had gone.

Did they cross that vast spatial barrier, and what world they ultimately landed on?

Without any clues, trying to figure it all out was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

At least, he hadn’t seen any information on this matter in the Tianyuan World.

Therefore, there was no way of knowing whether the Divine Talisman Sect still existed, and even Xiaoli’s parents were nowhere to be found.

Lu Qing withdrew his gaze and immediately went to the meditation room, sitting cross-legged.

He had been busy these past few days, finishing most of his tasks, and now he finally had time to focus on his own affairs.

For him, the most important thing was undoubtedly cultivation.

After a moment of concentrating and calming his mind, Lu Qing activated his supernatural power learning mode and entered a state of cultivation.

His main purpose in coming to the Jade Transformation Cavern was to cultivate the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Life Seal] he had received from the gloomy old man.

This secret soul technique was incredibly powerful.

Once mastered, it would be like having nine extra lives.

Although Lu Qing now possesses numerous life-saving trump cards, who would complain about having fewer means of survival?

Furthermore, the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Life Seal] is a secret art of the soul. Comprehending this art would greatly aid his understanding of the Yuan Shen realm.

With the awakening of his supernatural powers, Lu Qing entered the deepest state of meditation, emanating waves of sudden enlightenment.

Despite the immense depths of the [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Life Seal], he quickly grasped it, and various insights surfaced within his mind.

…

While Lu Qing was in seclusion within the Jade Transformation Cavern, in a vast world within the Great Yuan Immortal Realm,

dozens of powerful figures sat in two rows within a vast palace.

At the head sat a middle-aged man clad in a purple dragon robe, his face imposing and commanding without anger.

“Everyone, how do you plan to respond to this once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years appearance of the Starry Sea Return Ruins Secret Realm?”

The other powerful figures were slightly startled by the middle-aged man’s question.

After a moment’s silence, one of the figures spoke, “Clan leader, the emergence of the Guixu Secret Realm is of great significance. Not only our Immortal Clan, but other powerful factions will also be eyeing it covetously, hoping to seize the opportunities within. It will be a difficult task.”

“Hmph! So what if they’re eyeing it covetously? To enter the Guixu Secret Realm, you must possess a token.

In the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, besides our Immortal Clan, there aren’t many

other factions that possess tokens. Without them, even if other factions attempt to enter, they can only stare blankly; there’s no chance for them!”

Another powerful figure snorted.

“That’s true, but those with tokens are not to be trifled with. For example, the Potian Sword Sect, the Black and White Temple, and the Netherworld Palace—in terms of strength, they’re probably even more powerful than our Immortal Clan.”

At the mention of those names, the other auras trembled.

They all knew that none of these powerful factions were easy to deal with.

Only the figure who had snorted coldly just now continued to speak coldly: “Even if it’s the Potian Sword Sect and the Black and White Temple, so what? As descendants of the immortals, are we still afraid of them?”

“This is not a question of fear or not, it’s really…”

“Old Thirteen, you keep boosting others’ ambitions and destroying the prestige of our immortal race. What is your intention? Are you asking us to give up this chance to enter the Guixu Secret Realm and hand over the opportunities inside?

Do you know that this is our greatest chance to restore the glory of the immortal race and regain control of the Great Yuan Immortal Realm? How can we retreat!”

“Seventh Brother, that’s not what I meant. It’s just…”

“Alright!”

Just as the two were arguing, the imposing middle-aged man in purple dragon robes suddenly spoke up, interrupting their quarrel.

“You’re all powerful beings in the Soul Realm. What’s wrong with you being so noisy?”

Hearing the clan leader’s words, the two figures stopped arguing and fell silent.

“Old Seven is right. The Guixu Secret Realm is of great importance. The opportunities within are crucial to our chance to restore the glory of the Immortal Clan. We absolutely cannot let them go.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the powerful figure known as

Old Seventh’s face lit up with joy. Meanwhile, the figure known as Old Thirteenth’s face showed anxiety.

“However, Old Thirteenth does have a point. Those forces that also possess the token, like the Potian Sword Sect, the Black and White Temple, and the Netherworld Palace, are indeed formidable.

Old Thirteenth, since you’ve raised this question, have you come up with a reliable solution?”

Everyone’s eyes immediately fell on the figure known as “Old Thirteenth.” (End of Chapter)
