I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 737

Chapter 737 The Black Demon Tower, Mysterious and Unpredictable, Movements in the Celestial Palace

As the aura of tribulation and death receded, the divine might of the Great Dao surrounding Lu Qing changed.

A surge of powerful energy erupted from the void, flowing into Lu Qing’s body to aid his transformation.

This was the Great Dao’s reward for those who successfully transcended tribulation; the Great Dao was supreme, and even the miraculous power of the Returning Void Secret Realm could not hinder it.

With the infusion of the Great Dao’s energy, Lu Qing’s transformation became even more ferocious.

His magical power, physical strength, and primordial spirit power all surged at an astonishing rate.

It took a full half-day for Lu Qing’s transformation to be complete.

An incomparably terrifying aura rose from his body, causing even Xiao Li, hiding in a corner, to feel a chill run down her spine.

Fortunately, this aura was fleeting, disappearing as soon as it appeared, and was immediately concealed by Lu Qing.

As the aura subsided, Lu Qing opened his eyes.

“Ah Qing,” Xiao Li came to Lu Qing, looking at him with wide eyes, “You broke through again?”

“Yes, I just passed the second primordial spirit tribulation,” Lu Qing nodded.

“Can you beat those people outside now?”

“I’m afraid not.” Lu Qing stroked Xiao Li’s fur. “The weakest of the strong outside are at least at the Fifth Tribulation Nascent Soul stage. That black-and-white-robed giant who harbors such deep hostility towards us is a top-tier Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul expert. We can’t contend with them right now.”

“Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul!”

Xiao Li’s eyes widened even more.

“That’s right. So, among the various forces exploring this secret realm, we are the weakest. We need to be careful; safety first.” Lu Qing nodded.

In fact, Lu Qing suspected that even the Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul stage might not be these forces’ ultimate trump card.

He wouldn’t be surprised if a Ninth Tribulation Nascent Soul expert suddenly appeared.

Just like how he hid Xiao Li in the Li Huo Cauldron, it’s hard to say other forces wouldn’t do the same. It

‘s only because this secret realm doesn’t allow beings above the Nascent Soul stage to enter. Otherwise

, Lu Qing suspected these powerful forces would have already sent even more terrifying experts in.

“Yes, then we must be careful and hide!”

Xiao Li nodded hurriedly upon hearing Lu Qing’s words.

An Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul was something it could only look up to; a single breath could probably destroy it.

So it was best for them to stay far away.

“But there’s no need to worry. We’re in the palace, protected by restrictions. Even a top-tier Nascent Soul wouldn’t be able to get in, so it’s quite safe.”

Seeing the little guy’s frightened expression, Lu Qing smiled again and reassured him.

After chatting with Xiao Li for a while, Lu Qing prepared to cultivate again.

The Second Tribulation of the Nascent Soul wasn’t his goal, nor was it enough to truly contend with the powerful figures outside.

He still had quite a few Nourishing Spirit Pills, plus several other pills to enhance cultivation, which would allow him to advance his cultivation further.

If he could reach the Third Tribulation, or even the Fourth Tribulation, coupled with the special environment of the Returning Void Secret Realm and his advantage of possessing a trace of the Secret Realm’s restrictions,

then he would truly possess the strength to contend with an Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul like Mo Tu Shan.

As Lu Qing entered a state of cultivation once more, the main hall fell into tranquility.

Xiao Li remained lying prone in the corner, silently on guard.

But elsewhere in the secret realm, things were far from peaceful.

Boom!

A tremendous tremor shook the great hall, unleashing a powerful force. With a single strike, Mo Tu Shan had repelled more than ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in front of him.

He then walked forward step by step, his body shrouded in demonic energy.

“I’ll say it again, if you don’t want to die, hand over all the treasures you’ve obtained. Otherwise, you won’t be going back,”

Mo Tu Shan said indifferently, looking at the group before him who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

“Mo Tu Shan, are you truly going to be so domineering? Why should we hand over the treasures we painstakingly obtained by breaking the restrictions?”

an elderly man in fine clothes opposite him said angrily.

“Because I’m stronger than you,” Mo Tushan said calmly. “The strong prey on the weak. Since I’m stronger than you, I should rightfully possess all the treasures. You can resist, but don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“You think you’re invincible in this secret realm? I don’t believe that, as fellow eighth-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivators, you’re that much stronger than me!” the richly dressed old man coldly retorted.

“Very well, it seems you intend to resist stubbornly. That suits me just fine.”

Seeing this, Mo Tushan not only didn’t get angry, but instead grinned.

“When I captured that fifth-tribulation brat earlier, you old fellow seemed to be laughing quite happily, didn’t you? I’ll see if you can still laugh now.”

With that, a terrifying aura rose from Mo Tushan’s body, and the phantom of a black nine-story pagoda appeared behind him.

Such a terrifying aura immediately caused the faces of the Nascent Soul cultivators opposite him to change drastically.

The old man from the richly dressed mansion looked at the phantom of the black pagoda with disbelief.

“Impossible, your aura…”

“Die, all of you!”

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Tu Shan roared and unleashed a palm strike, the surging demonic energy instantly engulfing everyone opposite him.

After a long while, when Mo Tu Shan left with the disciples of the Black and White Temple, the hall fell into a deathly silence. A while

later, when Yu Jian and Qing Xi arrived with their junior brothers and sisters, all they saw were withered corpses scattered across the hall, and wisps of demonic energy that had not completely dissipated.

“They’re from the Luo Yun Sect of the Great Yu Immortal Realm!”

Yu Jian recognized their identities immediately upon seeing the markings on the clothes of the withered corpses on the ground.

“The aura of this demonic energy suggests that the Black and White Temple was behind this.” Qing Xi also said.

“The person leading the Luo Yun Sect this time was one of their Grand Elders, possessing the cultivation of the Eighth Tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm. How could he die so easily? When did Mo Tu Shan acquire such strength?”

Yu Jian squatted before the corpse of the richly dressed old man, looking at his withered head still emitting black smoke, somewhat puzzled.

“Could it be that Mo Tu Shan broke through and entered the Ninth Tribulation Realm?” Qing Xi’s heart stirred.

“Unlikely.” Yu Jian shook his head. “With his arrogance, if he had broken through to the Ninth Tribulation Realm, he would have already come looking for trouble with us, instead of targeting the Luo Yun Sect.”

“That means he possesses a powerful magic weapon that can greatly increase his strength. Didn’t those people from the Great Hao Immortal Realm say that Demon Slaughter Mountain defeated them with a terrifying magic weapon?” Qingxi continued to speculate.

“That’s probably it.” Yu Jian nodded slightly. “I just don’t know if the demonic treasure that Demon Slaughter Mountain possessed was given to him by the Black and White Sect, or if he obtained it from this secret realm.” “

Regardless of how he obtained it, Demon Slaughter Mountain’s actions must have a purpose. It’s probably not just about stealing the treasure. Senior Brother Yu Jian, how should we deal with this?”

Yu Jian thought for a moment and said, “There are still a few years before the Immortal Palace opens, yet Demon Slaughter Mountain is so restless. He probably has some ulterior motive. We need to find out.”

“What do you mean, Senior Brother?”

“It’s simple, we’ll find out by fighting him.” Yu Jian smiled. “When Demon Slaughter Mountain wanted to capture that Fifth Tribulation cultivator before, he was so angry that he didn’t even use that treasure.

Obviously, he doesn’t want to fully expose this trump card to others.

In that case, let’s fight him and see what kind of demonic treasure it is.”

“Are we going to attack the Black and White Sect? Good, I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time!”

Upon hearing this, Qingxi’s spirits immediately lifted.

She wasn’t afraid of Mo Tu Shan and his group to begin with, and now that the two sects had joined forces, she had even less reason to be wary.

“However, this matter still needs careful planning. To strike a snake, you must strike its vital spot. Since we’ve decided to take action, we must make sure to inflict serious damage on them. Even if we can’t kill Mo Tu Shan, we must find a way to weaken the power of the Black and White Sect,”

Yu Jian said coldly.

He was a decisive person; once he decided to act, he would use swift and decisive methods.

“I’ll listen to Senior Brother,” Qingxi immediately replied.

In the following time, Yu Jian and the others began secretly searching for the Black and White Sect members in the secret realm.

However, strangely, the other side seemed to have guessed their intentions.

After killing the people from the Luo Yun Sect, they hid in a large palace and never came out again.

Even when Yu Jian led his men there, using provocation and deliberately insulting them, the Black and White Sect members remained holed up inside.

Instead of responding, they didn’t retaliate at all, not even a single person came out to respond.

Only a terrifying demonic aura, like an ancient behemoth, lurked within,

seemingly waiting to devour them all upon entering.

The sheer terror of this demonic aura even made Yu Jian and Qing Xi, both eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivators, feel a chill.

This bizarre situation caused Yu Jian a sense of unease.

However, given the unclear circumstances, he dared not lead his group rashly into the palace.

After all, due to the existence of the restrictive light barrier, the opening could only accommodate one or two people at a time.

If the enemy had set up an ambush inside, his group would likely be trapped before they even fully entered.

Therefore, even though his side had two eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivators, Yu Jian ultimately did not take the risk.

He remembered the Sword Master saying that while opportunities were important, self-preservation was paramount.

Since he had brought his junior brothers and sisters to the secret realm, he naturally wanted to ensure their safety as much as possible.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Yu Jian finally led his group to retreat.

According to the jade slip left by the ancestor, only a few years remained before the Immortal Palace opened.

Once the Immortal Palace opens, the people of the Black and White Sect will inevitably emerge.

At that time, they will naturally know what Demon Slaughter Mountain is plotting.

With Yu Jian and the others’ retreat, the secret realm returned to peace.

However, the news of the complete annihilation of the Luo Yun Sect members who entered the secret realm by the Black and White Sect quickly spread.

Before long, all the forces within the Guixu Secret Realm knew of this.

This caused many forces weaker than the Black and White Sect to become extremely wary, preparing

for a massacre at the hands of Demon Slaughter Mountain.

Some forces even directly approached Yu Jian and his group, expressing their willingness to join forces.

Yu Jian naturally refused.

He knew very well that none of these forces were easy to deal with; they were all cunning.

While they outwardly claimed to want to join forces, they might actually be using them as pawns.

Seeing that Yu Jian was unwilling to cooperate, the weaker forces devised another plan:

they directly camped outside the main hall where Yu Jian and his group were staying.

Therefore, if the Black and White Sect attacked them, Yu Jian and his group would certainly not stand idly by. Yu

Jian was somewhat speechless about the actions of these forces, but he tacitly approved.

Conversely, if the Demon Slaughtering Mountain dared to come, it would suit his purposes perfectly.

However, to everyone’s surprise, although the commotion outside was considerable, the Black and White Sect remained completely unresponsive.

After annihilating the Falling Cloud Sect, they seemed to have gone into seclusion, simply lying low in that main hall and never emerging again.

Only that faint, terrifying demonic energy continued to brew within.

Thus, in this strange and inexplicable atmosphere, several more years passed in the secret realm.

Boom!

On this day, in a secluded palace on the outskirts of the Immortal Palace, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, but it was quickly concealed by a certain fluctuation, undetected by others.

“Clan leader, you’ve accomplished your great task?”

the old man in the secluded palace said excitedly.

“Indeed, I have completely consolidated my cultivation at the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Now, in the Guixu Secret Realm, no one is my match!”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe nodded proudly, his eyes full of confidence.

Hearing this, the other powerful members of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan who were maintaining the formation also showed excited expressions.

The patriarch’s consolidation of his ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm not only greatly increases his chances of seizing opportunities in the Guixu Secret Realm, but

also allows him to stabilize the situation and restore the glory of the Immortal Clan when he returns in the future.

“That’s for sure. Patriarch, you are a ninth-level Primordial Spirit. Even the direct descendants of those major sects are no match for you!”

The old man echoed repeatedly, his excitement barely contained.

These words naturally pleased the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe.

However, he quickly regained his composure and asked, “By the way, during my years of seclusion, has anything happened outside?”

“Indeed, some things have happened in the secret realm during these years…”

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly recounted the recent events that had occurred in the secret realm.

In recent years, most of them, while maintaining the grand formation and helping the clan leader conceal his aura,

were not entirely ignorant of everything happening in the secret realm.

They still sent clansmen out to gather information through various connections.

“You mean, after the Black and White Sect members attacked and destroyed two forces, they went into hiding again?”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe’s expression shifted after hearing the old man’s account.

“That’s right. Many forces now believe that Demon Slaughter Mountain is probably cultivating some secret technique. When he emerges from seclusion, he might become even stronger, perhaps even reaching the ninth tribulation of the Nascent Soul realm,” the old man said. “

Hmph, the ninth tribulation is not so easy to overcome. Don’t worry, that Demon Slaughter Mountain will absolutely not reach the ninth tribulation!”

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

Boom!

Just as the old man was about to ask for more details, a huge shockwave suddenly reverberated. (End of Chapter)
