I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 727

Chapter 727: Five Tribulations Technique, the Fluctuation of the Galaxy, and Shocking Changes!

Time flies, and years pass by in cultivation.

Lu Qing’s retreat didn’t attract much attention.

The villagers had long since grown accustomed to Lu Qing and Xiaoyan’s frequent retreats, often lasting months, even years.

After all, everyone knew that Lu Qing and the others were now immortals.

Immortal cultivation naturally measured in years.

With some younger generations now embarking on the path of cultivation, they understood even more clearly that even an unimaginably powerful being like Lu Qing could spend extended periods in seclusion.

Five years flew by in a trance.

In the quiet chamber of the Jade Transformation Cave, Lu Qing slowly opened his eyes. Stars swirled before his eyes, as if flowing with infinite wisdom.

“I’ve finally deduced the Fifth Tribulation’s formula,”

Lu Qing’s eyes etched with a sigh of relief.

For the past five years, aside from occasional outings to relax and spend time with Xiaoyan and the others, he had spent the vast majority of his time deducing the [Wanyuan Divine Method].

Now, five years later, he had finally deduced the techniques for the subsequent tribulations of the [Wanyuan Divine Method], and even progressed all the way back to the Fifth Tribulation.

However, after deducing the Fifth Tribulation, Lu Qing also felt a bottleneck.

The techniques beyond the Fifth Tribulation involved the mysterious laws of space.

The difficulty of deducing them increased a thousandfold. Even with assistance, Lu Qing found it obscure and difficult to understand, and progress was slow.

He knew it wasn’t his abilities failing, but rather his realm being too low.

The realms beyond the Soul Formation Realm were like someone at the foot of a mountain looking up at the mountain: shrouded in fog, deducing them was naturally difficult.

“Well, the techniques of the Fifth Tribulation will give me enough time to cultivate for a while. Once I achieve the Fifth Tribulation Soul Formation, I’ll have a much clearer view of the realms beyond. Then, deducing them will be a natural and much easier process.”

Lu Qing didn’t force it, and made the decision immediately.

He assessed his current level of cultivation.

During his five years of retreat, he hadn’t actively cultivated, relying instead on the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd and the techniques to passively increase his cultivation.

Even so, his cultivation had made significant progress.

He had already made considerable progress during his first Soul Tribulation, and was not far from the Minor Success stage.

However…

Lu Qing sensed it and frowned again.

Over the past five years, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd had refined a considerable amount of spirit stones.

Although he still had a large supply, he estimated that at his current consumption, he would only reach the third or fourth Soul Tribulation before he would be worried about spirit stones again.

“Sure enough, in the cultivation of the Tao, money, Dharma, companions, land, and spirit stones are never enough,” Lu Qing sighed.

Before returning, he had harvested so many spirit stones, thinking they would sustain his cultivation for a long time.

But now, at his current rate of cultivation, that seemed a bit of a stretch.

More importantly, as his cultivation level increased, he began to feel that the spiritual energy of mid-grade spirit stones was beginning to diminish.

After all, his Soul Mana was too high, and every slight increase in cultivation required a massive expenditure of spiritual energy.

By the time his cultivation level had risen a few more levels, even mid-grade spirit stones would likely have little effect on him.

No wonder, then, that at the Tianyuan World’s Tianshu City auction, a mysterious powerhouse had offered a top-grade spiritual artifact for sale, stating that it would only be traded for top-grade spirit stones.

Presumably, that mysterious powerhouse had also reached a high level of cultivation, requiring top-grade spirit stones to achieve breakthroughs.

Lu Qing sighed for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand, scattering a large number of spirit stones, forming a spirit gathering array, and resumed his cultivation.

Now that he had pushed the [Perfect Yuanyuan Divine Method] to its limits, he could devote the next period of time to cultivation.

Ultimately, strength reigned supreme in this world.

With his foundation, if he could overcome one or two more soul tribulations and surge in strength, even if he returned to the Tianyuan World, few would be able to pose a threat.

At that point, he could venture into the starry sky, anywhere he wanted, and earning spirit stones would be a piece of cake.

Lu Qing practiced his cultivation technique with all his might.

He absorbed a vast amount of spiritual energy, and through the dual refining of the [Perfect Yuan Divine Art] and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd, it rapidly transformed into his spiritual power, nourishing both his body and soul.

His cultivation began to advance at an astonishing rate.

Just as Lu Qing began his full-scale cultivation, the undulating Silent Star Sea beyond the starry sky finally underwent further changes.

The previously silent galaxy began to slowly rotate, as if revived.

An even more terrifying ripple erupted from its center.

Such movement naturally attracted the attention of numerous surrounding forces.

“Is the Silent Star Sea beginning to change?”

“Is the Guixu Secret Realm about to truly emerge?”

“Wasn’t it supposed to appear in two or three years? How did it happen so early?”

“It’s probably not immediately, but it’s probably coming soon.”

The dozens of massive flying boats anchored outside the Silent Star Sea, and the many powerful individuals within, were all in high spirits, discussing their plans.

According to the records in the ancient texts, such changes indicated that the Guixu Secret Realm was about to truly emerge.

“The Silent Star Sea is actually changing sooner than expected.”

Aboard the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect’s flying boat, Yu Jian, dressed in white, looked grave.

According to the jade slips given to him by the Sword Master, once the Silent Star Sea begins to change, the Guixu Secret Realm will truly emerge within a year at most.

“Brother Yu Jian, it seems we need to prepare in advance.”

On another flying boat, Qing Xi communicated with her soul.

“Indeed, once the Guixu Secret Realm truly reveals itself, this place will be in chaos. You and I should look after each other and see if we can rush in first.”

“Okay, that’s exactly what I was thinking,” Qing Xi nodded. “

The Guixu Secret Realm is actually coming out ahead of schedule?”

On the other black flying boat, Hei Ming was equally surprised.

“Brother Hei Ming, don’t forget our agreement,”

Fairy Tao’s charming voice suddenly entered Hei Ming’s mind.

“Don’t worry, since we’ve all sworn the Heart Demon Vow, I won’t break it,” Hei Ming replied calmly.

“Then I’ll be relying on you, Brother Hei Ming.”

“Clan Leader, the Guixu Secret Realm is about to reveal itself!”

An elder on the dragon-headed flying boat addressed the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe.

“Indeed, after so many years of forbearance, we’ve finally had the opportunity to restore our clan’s glory.”

Even the calm middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe couldn’t help but tremble slightly as he stared intently at the rotating galaxy ahead.

As for the other flying boats, each one reacted in its own way.

Some were excited, some were expectant, while others had cold, unidentified scheming.

In short, every faction had its own agenda.

Suddenly, the previously peaceful starry sky was enveloped by an inexplicable aura.

The sudden intensification of the turbulence in the Sea of Annihilation spread outward at an unimaginable speed.

Before long, it spanned several surrounding immortal realms, being sensed by countless powerful beings.

“Is it time to begin?”

Atop a lofty sword-wielding mountain in the secret realm of the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect, a gray-robed elder gazed up at the sky, his thoughts musing.

“It’s finally about to be revealed. I wonder if Hei Ming and the others can seize this opportunity.”

From a black palace somewhere mysterious, an inexplicable voice echoed.

“Guixu, Guixu! The secret realm left behind by the Dao-Transforming Immortal has been revealed. Who knows what kind of turmoil this will unleash. I’m afraid the world will be thrown into chaos again.”

In a lush, tranquil valley, a white-haired woman clutched a bamboo basket, gazing at the sky in a trance.

“Haha, it’s finally about to be revealed! If Tu Shan and the others can seize the Dao-Transforming Secret, then my Black and White Temple will truly rise, surpassing all other powers!”

Deep within the void, a Taoist priest in a black and white Taoist temple roared with laughter.

“Hmm, what’s going on?”

In his home world, Lu Qing, deeply immersed in cultivation, suddenly snapped out of his trance.

He sensed the mysterious fluctuations descending from the sky, which suddenly intensified by dozens of times, and was filled with a sense of wonder and uncertainty.

“Could this sudden increase in fluctuations mean that the so-called Guixu Secret Realm is about to emerge?”

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, and instantly guessed what was going on.

For years, this mysterious fluctuation descending from the sky had been constant.

Over time, he had become accustomed to it.

Unexpectedly, it suddenly intensified today. Combined with the information he had previously received from the Void Flying Boat, he suddenly understood that the long-simmering Guixu Secret Realm was about to finally emerge.

Of course, even if the secret realm did emerge, it would have nothing to do with him.

Not to mention the location of the so-called Guixu Secret Realm, he had no idea.

Even if he knew the location, he had no intention of going there.

With this fluctuation brewing for so many years, it was obvious that countless powerful beings must be gazing covetously from outside the Guixu Secret Realm.

With his current level of cultivation, trying to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth was too risky; it was simply impossible, and certainly unnecessary. However,

the fluctuations just now had caused the Void Flying Boat within the Qiankun Yiqi Bag to tremble, forcing Lu Qing to pay attention.

Leaving his mind within the Qiankun Yiqi Bag, Lu Qing saw the Void Flying Boat trembling slightly.

But that was all; no further changes occurred.

He observed for a moment, realizing it was likely due to the sudden increase in fluctuations, causing the Flying Boat to sense them.

Seeing no further changes, he disregarded the situation.

So, with a sigh, Lu Qing gathered his mind and continued his cultivation.

The fluctuations emanating from the Guixu Secret Realm penetrated everything, making them impossible to shield against.

Lu Qing could only ignore them and continue his practice.

Time slowly passed. With Lu Qing’s utmost dedication, he refined a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones.

After more than half a year, his cultivation had made significant progress, successfully reaching the realm of First Tribulation Minor Success.

He estimated that at this rate of cultivation, with an ample supply of spirit stones, he should be able to overcome his second Soul Tribulation in ten years at most.

This was a terrifying rate of cultivation.

Logically, with Lu Qing’s incredibly strong foundation, even a slight improvement in his cultivation would be extremely difficult, requiring a vast expenditure of resources.

Yet, despite these circumstances, he was able to maintain such a formidable cultivation rate.

If word of this were to spread, it would likely shock the entire starry sky.

Only Lu Qing knew the true story.

He was able to achieve all this primarily thanks to his self-created [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] and his natal magic weapon, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd.

Needless to say, the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] was a fusion of countless Soul Realm techniques and several supreme-level mystical techniques.

It was the perfect method that best suited him and could fully unleash his extraordinary talent.

Consequently, the [Perfect Yuan Divine Method] was extremely efficient in absorbing and refining spiritual energy.

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Gourd was equally extraordinary.

This natal magic weapon of Lu Qing’s, having absorbed the yin and yang energies from his tribulation and condensed them anew, has become even more miraculous.

Although its current rank is still a low-grade spiritual artifact

, its ability to refine spiritual energy and purify mana has undergone a qualitative transformation.

This combined power allows Lu Qing to rapidly refine vast quantities of spiritual energy and transform them into his own cultivation.

His cultivation speed, far from slowing down after achieving the Yuan Shen, has even shown signs of accelerating.

Having reached the minor success stage of the first tribulation, Lu Qing did not continue his cultivation. Instead, he left the meditation room.

His retreat had been quite long, and it was time for a break.

Outside, Lu Qing spotted Xiao Li diligently cultivating.

He did not disturb her, but left the Jade Transformation Cavern alone, intending to walk outside to calm his mind.

Upon reaching the valley’s edge, breathing in the vibrant air and gazing at the lush greenery, Lu Qing felt a sudden surge of energy and a sense of peace and tranquility.

Even at his current level, the so-called vitality of the outside world was of no help to him.

However, after a long period of seclusion, walking outside again made a huge difference in his mood.

At least in just a few moments, he felt that his mind was much more relaxed.

The fatigue brought by continuous practice also eased a lot.

“Ah Qing, why didn’t you call me when you came out of seclusion?”

Lu Qing had been strolling outside for a while when a dark figure suddenly flew out and landed on his shoulder.

He grumbled, wondering who else but Xiao Li.

“I saw you were so engrossed in your cultivation, so I didn’t bother you. So, have you made a breakthrough recently?”

Lu Qing smiled, sensing Xiao Li’s aura.

“Yes, yes, I just achieved a breakthrough last month. Now my cultivation has reached the seventh stage of the Golden Core. Ah Qing, am I amazing!”

Xiao Li immediately boasted.

“Of course I am,”

Lu Qing praised generously.

He had just sensed that Xiao Li had achieved a breakthrough and was consolidating his cultivation, which was why he hadn’t bothered him.

Unexpectedly, the little guy had come out of retreat on his own.

Hearing Lu Qing’s praise, Xiao Li’s ears twitched, and he narrowed his eyes in a smile, appearing overjoyed.

“Well, since you’re out of retreat too, let’s go home.”

“Great, great. Let’s go back and see if Xiao Yan has come out,” Xiao Li thought to himself.

Just as Lu Qing was heading back to the village with Xiao Li.

Far beyond the starry sky, in the center of the Silent Star Sea, an extremely powerful wave suddenly erupted.

At the same time, the Void Flying Boat in the Qiankun Qi Bag also trembled violently. (End of this chapter)
