I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 731

Chapter 731: Xuanyuan Restriction, Top-grade Spiritual Sword “Qingmang”

A middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe led his clansmen into a side hall.

Following the instructions left by their ancestor, they quickly arrived at the treasure vault where the elixirs were stored.

After breaking the restrictions, they entered and gazed upon the shelves of elixirs, each one held within them.

All the members of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan erupted in ecstasy.

They could sense that the elixirs contained within these shelves were all extremely precious, possessing immense benefits even for cultivators like them at the Soul Formation Realm.

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe gazed upon the elixirs on the shelves, his eyes blazing with passion.

After a few breaths, he took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

“Begin! Follow the instructions left by our ancestor and break these restrictions as quickly as possible to obtain the elixirs.”

As the Great Yuan Immortal Clan began to break the restrictions, Yu Jian, led by disciples of the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect, arrived at a palace.

“Is this the place the Sword Master instructed us to go?”

Yu Jian checked the jade slips the Sword Master had given him before they set out.

Finally, he confirmed they had arrived at the right place.

“Since that’s the case, let’s begin.”

A similar situation unfolded in front of several palaces surrounding the Immortal Palace.

Many forces, upon entering the secret realm, didn’t immediately attempt to explore the vast palace.

Instead, they sought to seize opportunities previously denied them, following the records left by their ancestors or forefathers.

During this process, conflicts broke out between factions, but they quickly subsided.

Of course, Lu Qing ignored all this.

Using his ever-changing, formless abilities, he concealed all auras and, while all the forces were searching for opportunities, quietly left the complex and arrived at a small, unassuming palace on the edge.

“Break the restrictions, and then enter?”

Lu Qing pondered, gazing at the barrier of light enveloping the small palace.

He had sensed from earlier that the Guixu Secret Realm contained an excessive number of restrictions.

Even a single jade brick on the ground contained numerous restrictions.

In short, the entire secret realm felt like a world of restrictions.

Initially, he hadn’t understood what this signified, but after observing the actions of the old man with white jade horns and the others, he began to understand.

“Could it be that the opportunities of this Guixu Secret Realm are all connected to these ubiquitous restrictions?”

Lu Qing gazed at the light curtain of the formation’s restrictions and activated his supernatural power.

With Lu Qing’s current cultivation level, the speed at which his supernatural power could detect information had greatly increased.

In less than ten breaths, a message emerged from it.

[Xuanyuan Restriction: A profound restriction created by the Dao-Transforming Immortal, Guixu Taoist.]

[This restriction possesses extremely strong defensive power and a recoil effect. It can only be broken through restrictive techniques. If attacked, it will unleash a counterattack with a hundredfold force.]

…

[Discovered inheritance, do you want to download it?]

“So the Dao-Transforming Immortal who created this secret realm is called Guixu Taoist. No wonder it’s called the Guixu Secret Realm.”

After reading the messages, Lu Qing understood and was even more surprised.

Finally, he knew a little about this secret realm.

Without hesitation, he chose to download immediately.

[Download started, current progress…]

Lu Qing waited silently. After a moment, his ability prompted him to simulate the download, and he chose Simulate.

Another moment passed.

[Simulation completed, do you want to start learning?]

Lu Qing sensed his surroundings.

The small palace he had chosen this time was in a very remote location.

Therefore, no other living beings were within his range of detection.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lu Qing summoned Xiao Li from the Lihuo Cauldron.

“Ah Qing!”

Xiao Li immediately threw herself into Lu Qing’s arms upon emerging, then surveyed the surroundings.

“Ah Qing, where are we?”

Xiao Li exclaimed in shock at the surroundings and the barrier before him.

He sensed a terrifying power from the barrier.

“This is the Guixu Secret Realm. We’ve been brought here by the Void Flying Boat.”

“Guixu Secret Realm!”

Xiao Li was even more shocked. Of course, he knew what it was; he had overheard Lu Qing’s conversation with the old doctor.

I hadn’t expected the Void Flying Boat to actually bring them here.

“Yes, it’s the Guixu Secret Realm. I’ll tell you the details later. I need to comprehend something now. You must conceal your aura and hide in my arms to protect me. If anyone approaches, alert me immediately,” Lu Qing said seriously.

“Okay, I understand.”

Xiao Li sensed the seriousness in Lu Qing’s tone and nodded immediately.

Then, it suddenly shrank, becoming only the size of a palm, and concealed all its aura, burrowing into Lu Qing’s arms.

Seeing this, Lu Qing nodded in relief.

Xiao Li’s practice of the [Nine Transformations of the True Dragon] was extremely profound.

After confining his aura, even the most powerful primordial spirits would find it difficult to detect without approaching.

Furthermore, the special nature of the Guixu Secret Realm greatly suppressed the spiritual perception of the primordial spirit realm.

However, Xiao Li’s uncanny sensing ability had an excellent warning effect.

This way, even if someone approached, he would be able to know what was happening in advance.

Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Lu Qing immediately began studying the newly simulated inheritance.

Instantly, countless insights surged from the depths of his mind.

After achieving the Primordial Spirit, Lu Qing’s aptitude for understanding had reached an incredibly high level.

Even without the aid of supernatural powers, few in the entire universe could match him.

Therefore, despite the immense breadth of the inheritance he had just downloaded, he quickly absorbed and understood it.

Not long after, when Lu Qing opened his eyes again, a glint of enlightenment shone in them.

“So that’s how it is. This Xuanyuan Restriction created by the Guixu Taoist is truly unparalleled and profound, ever-changing. Everything is reduced to Xuanyuan, and it possesses infinite mysteries.”

Lu Qing’s face was filled with surprise.

As expected of a restriction created by the Huadao Immortal, after contemplating it for a while, he sensed its profoundness and exquisiteness.

However, after the surprise, Lu Qing’s face was also filled with regret.

“Unfortunately, this barrier light curtain only contains a small portion of the Xuanyuan Restriction’s inheritance. I’m afraid it will take some effort to gather more of the inherited knowledge.”

Indeed, what Lu Qing downloaded and simulated was only the Xuanyuan Restriction’s inheritance, and a very small portion at that.

It seems that these barrier light curtains, like the Zhoutian City formation in the Tianyuan Great World, each light curtain only contains a portion of the forbidden inheritance.

To gather all the inheritances, he would likely need to slowly download them from each barrier.

However, the current situation clearly prevented Lu Qing from doing so, hence his regret.

However, Lu Qing quickly regained his composure.

While the allure of gathering the inheritances was immense, his most important priority right now was ensuring his own and Xiao Li’s safety.

Lu Qing’s gaze fell on the barrier before him.

After his recent contemplation, while he couldn’t claim to have fully mastered the downloaded knowledge, the barrier before him held no secrets.

His fingers moved swiftly, and in a short time, Lu Qing had condensed countless seals, which he placed on the barrier before him.

Immediately, the barrier began to ripple like water, and after a few breaths, a crack appeared.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing leaped in, holding Xiao Li in his arms, and released another wave of seals onto the barrier.

The crack he had just opened began to rapidly heal.

In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, becoming a complete whole.

If the powerful Yuanshen of other factions were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly be astonished.

This meant that Lu Qing had completely mastered the barrier.

After all, even they could only barely break the barrier, not restore it.

And this was the result of their ancestors’ painstaking efforts and immense effort.

Seeing the barrier restored to its original state, Lu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The barrier in this remote temple wasn’t particularly advanced, remaining at the Yuanshen realm level.

It was only because of the immense sophistication of the [Xuanyuan Restriction] that it could unleash a power beyond the limits of a Yuanshen.

Now that he was within the barrier, even if discovered, they would pose no threat.

Even the burly man in the black and white Taoist robes from earlier would have struggled to break through the barrier.

As for breaking the barrier, Lu Qing was even less worried.

From the inheritance he had just received, he knew that each barrier in front of the palaces outside the Immortal Palace was unique.

Breaking it required a specific technique.

He doubted that the man in the black and white Taoist robes would have known the method to break the barrier in this remote little temple.

In other words, only now were he and Xiao Li truly safe.

Relaxing, Lu Qing led Xiao Li inside the small temple.

He noticed the interior was completely empty, barren, save for a few tables and chairs.

Of course, those tables and chairs were treasures in their own right, crafted from top-grade spiritual jade.

If they were found outside, they would be equally sought-after treasures.

Lu Qing examined them and found that they were also shrouded in a barrier. To remove them, he would have to break the barrier.

He didn’t rush to break the barrier, but instead searched the entire temple thoroughly.

Finally, he found something in a room.

It was a room resembling a master bedroom; it was unknown if it had been the quarters of the former owner of this small temple.

On the wall hung a precious sword.

The sword was also shrouded in a barrier of light, but Lu Qing could sense the terrifying power within.

“Ah Qing, I can sense this sword is a truly remarkable treasure!”

Xiao Li burrowed into Lu Qing’s arms, with only his head visible.

He gazed excitedly at the sword on the wall.

His instinctive treasure-hunting instincts told him it was an extremely powerful magical weapon.

“Hmm.”

Lu Qing, too, was filled with anticipation. He immediately activated his supernatural powers to search for information.

After a few breaths, several messages floated from the sword.

After Lu Qing read through them, a look of immense surprise crossed his face.

“The sword’s name is ‘Qing Mang’! It’s actually a top-grade spiritual sword!”

Lu Qing was filled with excitement. He had never imagined that this remote little temple, which he had so carefully chosen, could contain such a treasure.

This is a top-grade spiritual weapon! And a spiritual sword at that!

You have to understand that among the spiritual weapons he possesses, even the Lihuo Ding is currently only a mid-grade peak spiritual weapon.

That is, the Void Flying Boat has regained the power of a top-grade spiritual weapon.

However, the Void Flying Boat is known for its speed and the ability to travel through the void, but it doesn’t inherently possess significant offensive power.

A top-grade spiritual sword, however, is different.

Sword-shaped spiritual weapons are inherently renowned for their offensive power.

If a top-grade spiritual sword were to unleash its full power, it would likely rank among the top-grade spiritual weapons.

Excited, Lu Qing immediately focused his attention on the barrier light curtain surrounding the sword.

After a few breaths, information about this barrier light curtain emerged.

As expected, this barrier was also a Xuanyuan barrier, and it also contained a legacy.

However, its internal structure differed from the barrier outside the small hall.

However, for Lu Qing, this was not a problem.

Before long, he had completely comprehended the forbidden inheritance, then broke through the barrier and reached for the sword.

Without a trace of surprise, Lu Qing easily removed the sword.

He admired it for a moment before immersing himself in the sword, imprinting his own spirit within it and beginning to refine it.

“It’s a pity that the spirit of this spiritual sword is gone. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just a top-grade, low-level one.”

Indeed, the top-grade spiritual sword in Lu Qing’s hand lacked a spirit.

He had already known this when he used his supernatural powers to investigate.

Otherwise, how could he have dared to so brazenly seize such a top-grade spiritual weapon with his bare hands?

He even learned that this small temple held considerable pedigree.

It was the residence of a direct disciple of the Guixu Taoist, and the “Qingmang” was actually his sword.

However, this direct disciple of the Guixu Taoist was a solitary person, shunning the socializing that led him to live in this secluded temple.

As for where this direct disciple had gone, why he hadn’t taken the sword, and where the spirit within the sword had gone, Lu Qing had no idea.

While supernatural powers could reveal information, the information they could uncover was limited, preventing him from knowing everything.

Of course, the disappearance of the “Qingmang” spiritual sword’s spirit wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for Lu Qing.

Otherwise, refining a top-grade spiritual weapon with a spirit would be difficult.

If the spirit refused to submit to him, it would be even more troublesome.

Now that the spirit had vanished, the power of the spiritual sword had decreased, but it had saved him a lot of trouble.

After initially refining the “Green Mango,” Lu Qing put it away.

His gaze fell on the other objects in the room.

More precisely, on the barrier light curtains surrounding those objects. (End of this chapter)
