I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 734

Chapter 734: Secret accumulation, disaster affects innocent people

Lu Qing’s goal was to master as many of the three thousand medium-sized restrictions within the secret realm as possible.

He believed that with his aptitude and the aid of his supernatural powers,

as long as he mastered most of them, even if he couldn’t collect all three thousand, he would be able to deduce the rest.

Previously, he had been wary of other forces, but now, with his mastery of five hundred medium-sized restrictions, he

could not only shatter the outer palace’s barrier with a single thought, but the power of the secret realm’s

restrictions he could mobilize had also grown a bit stronger.

Don’t underestimate this tiny bit of power.

The space of the Guixu Secret Realm is incredibly solid and stagnant, unshakable even by a mighty soul at the Nine Tribulations stage. Their speed and strength would be severely limited, even flight impossible.

However, the tiny bit of power Lu Qing could mobilize reduced the Guixu Secret Realm’s suppression of him.

This, in turn, significantly narrowed the gap between him and those top-tier souls.

Of course, this gap didn’t mean Lu Qing possessed the power to rival a peak-level Yuan Shen. That wasn’t realistic yet.

Rather, the trump card he now held gave him enough confidence to avoid being overwhelmed the moment they met.

Furthermore, he could leverage the secret realm’s geographical advantages and escape with ease.

Retracting the restrictions in his palm, Lu Qing stood up and left the palace, gazing ahead.

Specifically, at the dozens of tallest and most majestic palaces ahead.

Lu Qing knew that the vast majority of the forces that had previously entered the secret realm had likely been attempting to break the restrictions and search for treasures in those palaces.

However, the [Xuan Yuan Restrictions] were incredibly profound, and without a legacy, these forces could only grope their way through them, like blind men groping in the dark.

Their speed of cracking wouldn’t be fast; even decades wouldn’t guarantee they could completely crack a single palace.

Previously, Lu Qing hadn’t dared to approach too closely.

Now, though he could pierce the barrier’s light curtain with a single thought, greatly enhancing his ability to survive, he felt like he could give it a try.

But this, in turn, made him less anxious.

After grasping a glimpse of the true meaning of the [Xuanyuan Restriction], his desire for treasures diminished.

If he could master more medium-sized restrictions, and thus control the power of the secret realm

‘s restrictions, then the pervasive power of the Guixu Secret Realm would become his greatest asset.

He might even be able to glimpse the vast Immortal Palace at the center of the secret realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing once again suppressed his urge to explore.

Compared to the secrets of the Immortal Palace, the treasures in the outer palaces were merely a side benefit.

Therefore, there was no need to risk heading for the largest palaces just yet.

If a conflict with other forces impeded his progress in comprehension, the consequences would be disproportionate.

After calming his mind, Lu Qing continued his search for other palaces, but continued to avoid the dozens of largest ones.

A few days later, when Lu Qing quietly arrived at a palace on the outskirts, he saw the opening in the restriction’s light curtain and was slightly startled.

“Huh? How could such a remote palace be undermined by forces?”

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

More importantly, his spiritual senses detected a terrifying aura brewing within the palace.

He pondered for a moment, making no unnecessary movements, continuing to restrain his aura and slowly retreating.

Just as Lu Qing retreated, a middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe, sitting cross-legged on the ground in the palace’s treasury, suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

“Clan leader, what’s wrong?”

asked the old man who was maintaining the formation nearby.

“Strange! I just seemed to sense a living being spying outside, but after careful sensing, I found nothing.”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe frowned.

“How could someone spying? Clan leader, you’ve already entered the ninth level of the Soul Tribulation. Even those at the peak of the eighth level, like Mo Tushan and Hei Ming, shouldn’t be able to escape your spiritual senses,”

the old man said in disbelief.

“Perhaps it’s just my imagination,”

the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe thought, and it made sense.

He speculated that perhaps the inner demons he had borne during his previous tribulation hadn’t been completely dispelled, leading to his suspicions.

Recalling his previous tribulation, the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Although he had now successfully transcended the tribulation, he had to admit that the ninth tribulation of the primordial spirit was truly terrifying. Not

only did the deathly aura of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man erode his physical body, but countless inner demons and illusions threatened to annihilate his primordial spirit.

Without the aid of the Broken Mirror Pill, his fate would have been uncertain.

Fortunately, he had survived it all.

Now that he had entered the ninth tribulation of the primordial spirit, his realm surpassed all others in the secret realm.

He felt a clear victory in seizing the next opportunity.

“No, I need to continue to consolidate. I’ve just broken through, and the gap between us isn’t wide enough yet. Once I’ve completely solidified my ninth tribulation, I’ll be completely secure.”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe suppressed his fluctuating emotions.

Although he had entered the Nine Tribulations of the Soul, he knew that the direct descendants of powerful sects like Yu Jian and Hei Ming held numerous hidden talents.

They might even be protected by powerful magical weapons bestowed by their sects.

He needed to continue improving his strength if he wanted to suppress these peerless geniuses.

Furthermore, the sudden observation he had just made him wary.

Whether someone truly was spying outside and hadn’t noticed, or if he still had inner demons within his soul, it showed that he hadn’t yet reached his true peak.

“According to the records left by our ancestors, once I have truly stabilized my realm, the Immortal Palace should officially open. I will overcome those barriers that our ancestors failed to overcome!”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe pondered, then slowly calmed down, returning to his state of cultivation.

“Why did the aura of that palace just now seem even more powerful than that of the burly man in the black and white Taoist robes?”

Lu Qing, who had been concealing his presence, left the remote palace and entered another deserted palace.

Only after confirming complete safety did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Recalling the aura he had just sensed in that remote palace, he couldn’t help but feel frightened.

That aura seemed even more terrifying to him than the black-and-white Taoist robed figure who had tried to suppress him upon entering the secret realm.

If he hadn’t used the forbidden power of the secret realm to conceal his aura, he would have been discovered.

“Sure enough, those who have entered this secret realm are no pushovers. I wonder which faction is lurking in that palace just now?”

Lu Qing was secretly wary.

Clearly, there were hidden talents among the forces that had entered the secret realm.

Many forces are not as simple as they appear, and even more terrifying entities lurk within.

Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, he couldn’t use his supernatural powers to investigate these forces, so he could only approach with caution.

After a moment’s reflection, Lu Qing set the matter aside and began to comprehend the forbidden inheritance of the palace he was in.

For the next three months, Lu Qing continued to secretly wander between the various palaces, constantly downloading and comprehending the forbidden inheritance.

However, due to the aura he had sensed earlier, he became even more cautious.

Three months passed like this.

In a medium-sized palace, Lu Qing, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.

With a thought, the barrier curtain surrounding the palace trembled gently, as if pulsating with his thoughts.

Lu Qing extended his hand, and a flaming barrier instantly appeared on his palm, pulsing continuously.

But a closer look revealed that with each pulse of the flaming barrier, dozens of other barriers shifted within it.

“Sure enough, after comprehending and mastering two thousand medium-sized restrictions, my control over the restrictions within the secret realm has become even stronger. I can even mobilize some of the medium-sized restrictions shrouding these palaces.”

Lu Qing gazed at the pulsating flame restriction on his palm with a look of satisfaction.

After months of tireless contemplation, he had finally mastered two thousand medium-sized restrictions.

As a result, his understanding of the true meaning of the [Xuanyuan Restriction] deepened.

The flame restriction in his hand was the culmination of his understanding.

It contained the common meaning of the two thousand medium-sized restrictions and could be transformed into any restriction he controlled at any time.

More importantly, as his understanding deepened, the power of the Guixu Secret Realm’s restrictions he could mobilize grew even stronger.

The entire secret realm’s suppression of him had once again significantly weakened.

“Thanks to this weakened suppression, I’m now, within this secret realm, and in terms of speed alone, few can match me,”

Lu Qing thought silently, feeling the relief he felt.

When he first entered the secret realm, the stagnant space was so intense that even his formidable physique felt a bit uncomfortable.

But now, with most of the restraining forces on his body gone, he could easily unleash his true strength.

If he faced the black-and-white Taoist robed figure again, he might still be defeated, but he would no longer be easily defeated.

Coupled with the advantageous terrain, he now possessed true self-preservation capabilities.

“I’ve almost explored the palaces surrounding this immortal palace. It’s time to go deeper.”

Lu Qing stood at the palace entrance, gazing ahead.

Although the [Xuanyuan Restriction] contains three thousand medium-sized restrictions,

he had recently discovered that there were not three thousand palaces outside the immortal palace, only a little over two thousand.

Some more important palaces lay at the foot of the vast immortal palace.

However, these locations were blocked by a terrifyingly powerful wall, making them impossible to approach.

In other words, only a few dozen of the most magnificent palaces remained unexplored.

Previously, Lu Qing had carefully avoided that area, but now, with his greatly enhanced ability to protect himself, he finally felt the confidence to explore.

With a flash, Lu Qing had vanished from the palace.

When he reappeared, he had already reached the barrier.

Such speed would have astonished even the strongest from other factions.

To be able to maintain such speed despite the suppression of the secret realm was simply unthinkable.

Standing before the barrier, Lu Qing’s mind moved, and without even a single incantation, a gap in the barrier before him silently opened.

Lu Qing took a step forward, and the gap behind him automatically closed.

This was the power Lu Qing had gained after comprehending and mastering two thousand medium-sized barriers.

Now, he no longer needed to perform hand seals; a simple thought could pierce the barrier outside each palace.

After exiting the palace, Lu Qing’s aura transformed, blending seamlessly with the surrounding barrier’s pulsing energy.

Then, he transformed into a wisp of green smoke and quietly approached a large palace ahead.

Arriving at the palace, he checked to make sure no one was inside.

With a flick of his mind, the light curtain before him parted in an instant, and Lu Qing slipped through.

An hour later, Lu Qing emerged from the palace again, a smile on his face.

He had surprisingly discovered quite a few medicinal elixirs within the palace. He used his supernatural powers to investigate, and found several that proved quite useful even to him—a truly fruitful harvest.

Of course, Lu Qing had also mastered the palace’s medium-sized restrictions.

As he mastered more and more medium-sized restrictions, his speed in comprehending them increased significantly.

Now, even without using his supernatural powers, he could analyze the principles behind other medium-sized restrictions simply by glancing at them.

Over the next few days, Lu Qing continued his exploration of several large palaces, obtaining numerous treasures.

In one palace, he even found a mid-grade, peak-level spiritual artifact comparable in rank to the Lihuo Cauldron.

But as the saying goes, “If you walk by the river often, you’ll get your feet wet.” Just as Lu Qing

was heading for the next palace, he was halfway there when a palace ahead of him suddenly erupted with immense power. Immediately afterwards

, several powerful figures burst out from the palace Lu Qing was aiming for and charged towards him.

“Huh? Discovered?”

Lu Qing was incredulous.

After all, having mastered over two thousand medium-sized restrictions, he had long since mastered the ability to blend his aura into the surroundings.

Logically, a Soul Realm expert shouldn’t be able to sense his presence.

But Lu Qing soon realized he was wrong.

Those figures weren’t coming for him, but were being pursued.

As soon as they emerged from the previous palace, more powerful figures burst out from behind, unleashing a multitude of Taoist magic and artifacts, attacking the fleeing figures.

Lu Qing even noticed that the pursuers were clad in black and white Taoist robes.

They were the very force that had sought to suppress him upon entering the secret realm.

“Man proposes, God disposes.”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but sigh.

The attacks launched by those guys in black and white Taoist robes had a very wide range.

Not only were the fleeing warriors affected, but even his position was completely affected.

In other words, this time, he was completely caught in the crossfire. (End of this chapter)
