I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 725

Chapter 725: Each with their own hidden agenda, undercurrents surge, turning the virtual into reality

The sight of the bamboo-shaped flying boat sent a chill through everyone’s heart. This

was especially true for the disciples of the Black and White Temple, the Nether Palace, and the Charming Immortal Pavilion, all of whom showed a look of fear.

The Kongming Sect was also an extremely powerful sect, boasting a foundation comparable to theirs.

More importantly, it prided itself on righteousness, hated evil, and enjoyed meddling in other people’s affairs, making it a serious opponent of them.

As expected, upon the arrival of the Kongming Sect members, they immediately showed disgust upon seeing Hei Ming, Mo Tu Shan, and the others.

The aloof, aloof woman in green didn’t even glance at Hei Ming and the others, steering her flying boat alongside the Potian Sword Sect’s.

“Senior Brother Yu Jian, Qing Xi greets you,”

the green-clad woman said with a graceful bow to the white-clad young man.

“Junior Sister Qing Xi, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to lead the Kongming Sect this time.”

The white-clad young man, Yu Jian, offered a gentle smile.

“I had guessed that you, Senior Brother Yu Jian, would lead the Potian Sword Sect,” Qing Xi said with a faint smile.

“Hmph, vixen.”

The Peach Fairy couldn’t help but snort coldly when she saw the two of them chatting happily, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

Meixian Pavilion and Kongming Sect had never been on good terms, and Qingxi’s pretentiousness made her feel even more sick.

She had already decided that after entering the Guixu Secret Realm, she would definitely cause trouble for the Kongming Sect.

If she could keep that bitch Qingxi in there forever, it would be even better.

Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Peach Fairy, and she could already start to plot in her heart.

“Brother Yu Jian, there are many demons and monsters here. After the Guixu Secret Realm is opened, why don’t our two sects join forces and take care of each other to avoid being ambushed by these villains? What do you think?”

After Qingxi and Yu Jian exchanged greetings, they brought up the proposal just now.

Yu Jian pondered for a moment and looked around again.

He nodded immediately, “Alright. Our two sects have always shared a common purpose and a close relationship. Let’s go in together.”

Yu Jian recalled the instructions given by the Sword Master before their departure.

Even if they didn’t obtain the treasures during this trip to the Guixu Secret Realm, they couldn’t let them fall into the hands of evil forces like the Netherworld Palace and the Black and White Temple.

If they formed an alliance with the disciples of the Kongming Sect, their chances of success would be greatly improved. Seeing that

Yu Jian had truly agreed to an alliance with the Kongming Sect, the remaining three factions were all shocked. This would

put them at a disadvantage .

Hei Ming and the others couldn’t help but ponder countermeasures.

Their first thought was naturally to form an alliance.

However, the idea was rejected by the others the moment it arose.

They would naturally prefer an

alliance with the Potian Sword Sect. Yu Jian had always had an excellent reputation as a gentleman, never reneging on his promises.

An alliance with him would offer peace of mind, without the fear of backstabbing.

But the situation with the other families was more uncertain. No one could guarantee they wouldn’t be stabbed in the back at a crucial moment, utterly annihilated.

But if they didn’t form an alliance, if they found an opportunity, it would be difficult to compete with Yu Jian and the others.

Just as Hei Ming and the others were pondering a strategy, several more waves reached them from afar.

They looked back and saw several more flying boats approaching.

Over the following period, powerful forces would periodically approach the Nirvana Star Sea.

After several months, dozens of forces had gathered outside the Nirvana Star Sea.

“So many forces want to enter this secret realm?” An old man,

aboard a golden flying boat with a dragon head carved on it, stood at the edge of the dozens of flying boats.

He looked at the powerful auras of the boats ahead, his face filled with confusion.

“Impossible,”

the leading middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe shook his head.

“Only eighteen tokens were originally circulated for entry into the Guixu Secret Realm.

Excluding those that vanished, their whereabouts unknown, there are probably only twelve or thirteen factions here at most who possess them.

The others are either seeking cooperation or simply taking advantage of the situation.

It’s impossible for every family to possess a token.

Take the Heng family, for example. Didn’t they use Old Thirteen to try to get us to cooperate?”

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately realized, “Indeed, the Guixu Secret Realm is a secret realm left behind by the Huadao Immortal. Even if other factions don’t have tokens, they’ll probably find ways to enter.”

“Don’t worry too much about most of these forces. They’re no match for our immortal race. The ones we should be most wary of are the Potian Sword Sect, the Black and White Temple, the Nether Palace, the Meixian Pavilion, and the Kongming Sect,”

the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe added.

He gazed at the flying boats in the foreground. Those major sects were their greatest rivals in this attempt to seize this opportunity.

“Indeed, Yu Jian, Hei Ming, Mo Tu Shan, Tao Xianzi, and Qing Xi are all top-tier soul masters at the eighth level of the Soul Realm, and are extremely formidable to deal with,”

the old man said solemnly.

While they had long anticipated the candidates sent by these forces,

that didn’t mean they wouldn’t feel any pressure facing these top-tier soul masters, renowned throughout the surrounding immortal realms.

You must know that for certain special reasons, beings above the Soul Realm cannot act within the starry sky.

The vast majority of Souls at the ninth level are also engaged in deep cultivation, striving to reach higher realms, and rarely appear in public.

Therefore, an eighth-level Soul Realm is considered the most powerful being roaming the starry sky.

Yu Jian and his companions, backed by powerful sects, possess deep roots and numerous hidden assets, making them the most formidable of the Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirits.

Even a figure like the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robes couldn’t guarantee a victory over them.

“Fortunately, we’ve listened to Old Thirteen and joined forces with the Heng Clan. With their covert support, we’re not afraid of these forces.

If we can seize the treasure within the Guixu Secret Realm, our clan will have a chance to rise again!”

the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe thought to himself.

He watched the flying boats of the Potian Sword Sect and other major factions occupy the most prominent positions, with the other factions yielding slightly in a gesture of respect.

It was impossible to say he had no thoughts.

Once upon a time, his immortal clan had enjoyed such glory, commanding all sects and clans to submit wherever they went.

But now, they were confined to the outermost periphery, reduced to a fringe power.

How could he not feel humiliated?

“It’s almost time! If we can seize that treasure, our clan will have a chance to regain its glory.”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe clenched his fists tightly beneath his sleeves, his eyes determined.

“Hmm? That dragon-headed flying boat, could it be the spiritual flying boat of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan?”

At this moment, Hei Ming of the Nether Palace glanced around and saw the dragon-headed flying boat at the edge. He was initially certain, then a look of realization crossed his face.

“The Great Yuan Immortal Clan?”

On the flying boat next to him, Fairy Tao thought for a moment before reacting.

“Brother Hei Ming, are you talking about the Great Yuan Immortal Clan that once ruled the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, enjoyed a period of glory, and then fell into decline?”

“Yes, I remember that the Great Yuan Immortal Clan doesn’t seem to have any beings above the level of the Yuanshen within their clan now. I didn’t expect them to dare to venture into the Guixu Secret Realm. Does that mean they also have a token of entry?” Hei Ming nodded.

“After all, they are descendants of the Immortal Huadao, so they have the necessary heritage,” Fairy Tao said with a smile. “But seeing that the Great Yuan Immortal Clan wants to enter the secret realm, it seems they hope to gain opportunities and restore the glory of their ancestors.”

“Without sufficient strength, even if they obtain treasures, they may not be able to protect them,” Hei Ming said calmly.

“The Great Yuan Immortal Clan has no beings above the level of the Yuanshen to oversee them. Even if they obtain opportunities and treasures, they will probably be attacked and robbed the next day.” “The strong prey on

the weak, this is the law of the world. If this is true, then the Great Yuan Immortal Clan deserves this disaster.”

Fairy Tao said, “Alright, Senior Brother Hei Ming, it’s just a declining clan, why bother with it? You just said you wanted to form an alliance with us, are you serious?”

“Of course, I, Hei Ming, never lie.”

“Then I am truly flattered. I wonder how Senior Brother wishes to cooperate?” Fairy Tao smiled seductively.

“That’s easy…”

The two immediately began to discuss cooperation.

Of course, they communicated with each other through their spirits, so no one knew what they had discussed or what kind of cooperation they had reached.

The Guixu Secret Realm was still years away from its true emergence.

During that time, no one knew what alliances and secret cohesions would form between the dozens of powerful factions within.

In short, beneath the surface of apparent calm, countless undercurrents surged.

Compared to the undercurrents swirling within the starry sky, Lu Qing’s home world was far more peaceful.

Ever since Lu Qing returned, slew the four late-stage Jindan demons, and left a batch of talismans to the Holy Mountain,

the Holy Mountain launched a massive crackdown on the demonic cultivators rampaging across the world.

Over the course of two or three years, the entire world was completely wiped out by the Holy Mountain’s alliance with numerous sects.

The vast majority were slain, and the few who remained hid in the shadows, living like rats, never daring to emerge again.

Thus, the world became clear and peaceful again, and demons were nowhere to be seen.

Amidst this tranquility, Lu Qing also remained in seclusion within the Jade Transformation Cavern for a full two years.

One day, Lu Qing finally opened his eyes, slowly waking from the deepest level of meditation.

“I didn’t expect comprehending this [Illusion] supernatural power to be so much more difficult than [Great Power]. Thankfully, I finally succeeded,”

Lu Qing’s eyes shone with admiration.

During his initial seclusion, he had assumed that comprehending [Illusion] would be as easy as [Great Power], taking only a month or two to achieve success and elevate it to the level of a great supernatural power.

However, upon actually comprehending it, he realized he had oversimplified things.

Comprehending the [Great Dao of Illusion] proved far more challenging than the [Great Dao of Strength].

The profound implications contained within it were vast and complex, and many of them were even illusory and false.

If one mistakenly accepted these false implications for the truth, one could easily stray further down a wrong path, from which it would be difficult to turn back.

Lu Qing nearly fell prey to a trap from the very beginning. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have been on the wrong path.

It was that lesson that taught him that the [Great Dao of Illusion] was as unpredictable as its name suggests.

If he wasn’t careful, he could easily backfire, destroying the seeds of the [Illusion] ability he had cultivated to perfection, and completely losing the ability.

This intensified Lu Qing’s focus on the Great Dao with unprecedented intensity, devoting himself wholeheartedly to comprehending it.

Even with his extraordinary abilities, it took him two years to sort through countless indistinguishable truths of the Great Dao

, seizing a single glimmer of inspiration

to elevate [Illusion] from a minor to a major supernatural power.

“The reason this time, raising [Illusion] to a higher level was so much more difficult was because my spiritual cultivation wasn’t as profound as my physical body,”

Lu Qing realized, and began to summarize.

The path of the soul is always mysterious, even for the mighty of the primordial spirit, who struggle to fully comprehend it.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, there are relatively few methods for cultivating the pure path of the soul.

Lu Qing’s accumulation in the physical body, thanks to the opportunity left by the witch clan, is much deeper than his knowledge of the path of the soul.

Coupled with the special nature of the [Great Dao of Illusion], this time his comprehension took much longer than the last time.

But fortunately, all the hard work was worth it.

Although the process was somewhat unexpected, he eventually successfully elevated [Illusion] to the level of a great supernatural power.

With a wave of his hand, a small world suddenly appeared in Lu Qing’s palm.

There were mountains, rivers, deep forests, seas, glacial plains, and

if you zoom in further, you can see that the flow of those mountains and rivers is almost identical to that of his hometown in reality.

“When [Hallucination] reaches the Great Divine Power level, it’s no longer just a simple illusion. It can interfere with reality, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and causing people to become lost in it.

Once cultivated to a higher level, it can even transform the virtual into reality, the false into truth.

At that point, it can even transform a real world!”

Lu Qing felt the world in his palm, and a surge of enlightenment surged within him.

When [Hallucination] reaches the Great Divine Power level, it can no longer simply create illusions within the souls of living beings.

It can even create large-scale, indistinguishable illusions in reality.

If a cultivator falls into it, if their Dao heart is not firm, they will be unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and become deeply trapped.

When his cultivation reaches a high enough level, he can even transform the virtual into reality, the false into truth, and transform real matter.

Of course, reaching that level is far from enough with his current realm and strength.

He estimated that even at the Perfection level of the Great Divine Power, he might not be able to achieve it. At the very least, he

would need to elevate his Divine Power to the next level, reaching the level of the Supreme Divine Power, before he could achieve this.

As for the evolution of the world, that was even more far off.

Even if he could break through to a realm above the Soul Realm in the future, he didn’t know if he could do it.

“But what I didn’t expect was that this time of enlightenment actually improved my cultivation a lot, and I can now overcome the first Soul Realm Tribulation.”

A smile appeared on Lu Qing’s face. (End of this chapter)
