I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 738
Chapter 738 The Immortal Palace Opens, the Primordial Spirit Undergoes Four Tribulations!
“What’s going on?”
The sudden tremor startled the elder and the others.
The space of the Guixu Secret Realm was incredibly stable and still; even those at the Nascent Soul Realm couldn’t fly there. For
the entire secret realm to tremble like this, what a tremendous commotion it must be!
Only the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe sensed the tremor and his face lit up with joy.
He knew what this meant from the scrolls left by his ancestors.
“Don’t panic, the Immortal Palace is preparing to open.”
“The Immortal Palace is opening?”
The other clansmen, upon hearing this, also turned from alarm to joy.
“That’s right. According to our ancestors’ records, about ten years after the Guixu Secret Realm appears, the Immortal Palace will open, giving everyone in the secret realm a chance to enter.
Now, it’s been almost ten years since we entered.”
The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe nodded.
“The clan leader has just emerged from seclusion, stabilizing his Nine Tribulations cultivation, and the Immortal Palace is about to open! It seems this is an auspicious sign for our clan’s resurgence!”
The elder’s beard trembled with excitement.
“What an auspicious sign!” The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe laughed heartily. “Since it’s an auspicious sign, let’s not delay and go over there!” He
then took a step forward and led the way.
The other powerful members of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan also dispelled their formations and followed behind him with excited expressions.
Equally excited as the people of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan were the powerful members of other forces.
“This commotion, is the Immortal Palace finally about to open?”
“Judging by the time, it is indeed time to open!”
“It’s finally opening! Our ancestors couldn’t break through the barriers and truly enter the Immortal Palace back then. This time, we’ve prepared for so many years, we will definitely be able to break through the obstacles, truly enter it, and fulfill our ancestors’ regrets!”
Sensing the tremors in the secret realm, the powerful members of other forces were all excited.
They all came out of their palaces and looked towards the Immortal Palace.
At this moment, the Immortal Palace was radiating light, and waves of vast energy swept across the entire secret realm.
“Senior Brother Yu Jian, the Immortal Palace is about to open.”
Qing Xi stood in front of the palace, looking in the direction of the Immortal Palace, and said solemnly.
“Yes, the real test is just beginning.”
Yu Jian’s expression was equally solemn.
The previous attempts to break the restrictions and retrieve treasures within the palace were merely appetizers.
Therefore, the various forces were still able to maintain a semblance of peace.
Only Mo Tu Shan and his group from the Black and White Sect broke this tacit agreement, annihilating two forces in succession.
The real main event will occur after the Immortal Palace opens.
At that time, the various forces will tear away their facade of peace, and once any valuable treasure is discovered, a true war will likely erupt.
“According to the jade slip left by the Ancestors, entering the Immortal Palace after its opening is not immediate. One must pass the preceding tests to gradually progress deeper. The Ancestors, despite their extraordinary abilities, only passed five tests and failed to enter the true Immortal Palace.”
Yu Jian recalled the various pieces of information recorded in the jade slip given to him by the Sword Master.
He knew that the opening of the Immortal Palace did not guarantee their entry.
However, their entry was not important; the crucial thing was to prevent Mo Tu Shan and his group from entering smoothly.
As long as the evil forces like the Black and White Temple and the Netherworld Palace cannot obtain the opportunities within the Immortal Palace, the situation outside can be maintained.
This is an acceptable outcome for the Breaking Heaven Sword Sect.
“Senior Brother Yu Jian, the Immortal Palace is about to open. Demon Slaughter Mountain won’t be hiding in the palace any longer. Should we continue our attack?” Qing Xi suddenly asked.
“No need.” Yu Jian pondered for a moment and shook his head. “When many forces gather, attacking the Black and White Temple will only play into their hands.
Don’t forget about the Netherworld Palace and the Charming Immortal Pavilion; these two forces are equally formidable.
If we fight the Black and White Temple, they might be happy in the end, and it’s even possible they’ll stab us in the back.”
Qing Xi thought it made sense and could only sigh, “Then we can only spare Demon Slaughter Mountain this time.”
In a certain palace, demonic energy swirled, permeating the entire hall.
Suddenly, all the demonic energy began to fluctuate, rapidly converging towards the center.
Before long, it all disappeared into a black nine-story pagoda floating in mid-air, revealing the figures of a group of Black and White Temple disciples.
Seated in the center with his eyes closed, Mo Tu Shan suddenly opened them, beckoning the black pagoda into his hand.
After sensing the situation inside the pagoda, a look of joy appeared on his face.
“Excellent! The essence blood of everyone in the Luo Yun Sect has been completely refined. The power of the Nine Abyss Demon Pagoda has reached its peak. Now, neither Yu Jian nor Hei Ming will be my match.”
Mo Tu Shan was extremely satisfied and smug.
If he hadn’t been decisive enough to destroy two forces and absorb their essence blood, how could he have completely refined this treasure and restored its power to its peak in such a short time?
With this magic weapon in hand, he was now confident he could fight even a Nascent Soul Ninth Tribulation expert!
Coupled with his other trump cards, Mo Tu Shan was confident he could completely crush Yu Jian, Qing Xi, and Hei Ming.
“Senior Brother Tu Shan, is this tremor the opening of the Immortal Palace?”
a disciple of the Black and White Temple asked at this moment.
“Indeed, according to the ancestor’s last words, the Immortal Palace will automatically open ten years after the appearance of the Guixu Secret Realm. Now is the perfect time.”
Mo Tushan’s thoughts stirred, and he put away the black pagoda before walking out.
“Let’s go. Yu Jian and the others were shouting and insulting my Black and White Temple outside.
I’m busy controlling this Nine Abyss Demon Tower and don’t have time to pay attention to their barking. Once we enter the Immortal Palace, that will be their death.
I will definitely refine them all and make them nourishment for my Demon Tower!”
…
“With such a commotion, why hasn’t A Qing woken up yet?”
On the other side, in the main hall where Lu Qing was, Xiao Li had already stood up, her eyes filled with anxiety.
The commotion in the Immortal Palace was so great that it had naturally been alerted long ago.
Not knowing what had happened, Xiao Li suddenly became somewhat panicked.
What worried it even more was that despite the massive tremors, Lu Qing remained quietly seated in the center of the hall, cultivating with his eyes closed, showing no sign of waking. This
left Xiao Li both anxious and unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, after a while, it finally saw Lu Qing slowly open his eyes.
“Finally, I’ve stabilized my fourth tribulation realm.”
Lu Qing felt the surging power within him, his eyes filled with emotion.
At the same time, he was even more grateful for his luck.
If he hadn’t discovered that pill hall and obtained a considerable number of Nourishing Spirit Pills, how could he have broken through several realms in such a short time and entered the fourth tribulation realm?
Indeed, after several years of seclusion, continuously refining Nourishing Spirit Pills and other primordial spirit-level pills that enhance cultivation…
Not long ago, Lu Qing successfully passed his fourth Nascent Soul Tribulation, officially entering the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Tribulation. After
more than a month of consolidation, he has now fully consolidated his fourth-stage cultivation and mastered the explosive power that comes with breaking through his realm.
However, he has also exhausted all the resources he obtained in the outer palace that were useful for his cultivation.
Although he also obtained quite a few other treasures, they were of little use to his strength.
Of course, Lu Qing was still extremely satisfied with this.
After all, if he were to cultivate on his own, even with enough spirit stones, it would take at least several decades to enter the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
Now, not only has the cultivation time been greatly shortened, but a large amount of spirit stones have also been saved, so how could he not be satisfied?
“Ah Qing!” Xiao Li rushed over to Lu Qing as soon as he woke up. “The entire secret realm is suddenly shaking for some reason. Is the secret realm about to close?”
“I don’t know either.” Lu Qing shook his head. “We’ll find out if we go out and take a look.”
Lu Qing naturally sensed the fluctuations in the secret realm.
However, as he said, he really didn’t know the source of these fluctuations.
It seems we’ll have to investigate outside to find out the reason.
Fortunately, his strength has greatly improved, so even if he encounters Demon Slaughter Mountain again, he no longer needs to fear it. He
now has enough confidence to face other forces directly.
“Are we going out?”
Xiao Li’s face immediately became uneasy upon hearing this.
It had heard Lu Qing say that none of the powerful figures outside were kind, and some even possessed the power of an Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator.
The thought of possibly encountering such powerful figures made it somewhat uneasy.
“Don’t worry,” Lu Qing rubbed the little guy’s head reassuringly. “You can enter the Li Huo Cauldron later. I’ll have ‘Yan’ release some of the restrictions so you can also sense the situation outside.”
“Okay, then be careful, A Qing,” Xiao Li cautioned.
It also knew that with its strength, staying outside would only distract Lu Qing.
“Don’t worry, I might not be afraid of them now,” Lu Qing smiled.
Xiao Li then remembered that over the past few years, it had witnessed Lu Qing overcome two more Nascent Soul Tribulations, and was now at the fourth Nascent Soul Tribulation level. This reassured it considerably.
It knew Lu Qing’s foundation was incredibly deep, and his strength would surge with each breakthrough.
Thinking of how he had escaped from the eighth Nascent Soul Tribulation during his first, its current strength greatly enhanced, it was certain it could ensure its safety even more.
“Yan, open the restrictions a little so Xiao Li can see what’s happening outside,”
Lu Qing instructed after putting Xiao Li back into the Li Huo Cauldron.
Previously, when he put Xiao Li away, he had completely sealed the Li Huo Cauldron.
He was afraid that during battle, improper protection might allow its power to seep in and harm it.
However, he was now confident he could avoid that.
“Mo Tu Mountain, huh? Next time we meet, I’ll give you a good surprise,”
Lu Qing murmured to himself, looking ahead.
Then, he took a step forward, and his figure disappeared from the hall.
“This commotion, is it caused by that vast celestial palace?”
Once outside the protective barrier, Lu Qing realized that the source of the tremors in the secret realm was indeed the vast celestial palace located at its very center.
At this moment, the celestial palace was radiating light, emanating immense power that caused the entire secret realm to shake.
Lu Qing stared at the celestial palace, activating his special ability, wanting to see if he could glean any information from it.
He had tried before when he first entered the secret realm, but perhaps due to insufficient cultivation, he hadn’t been able to obtain any useful information from the celestial palace.
Now, having successfully passed three Nascent Soul Tribulations and entered the fourth, his strength had greatly increased; perhaps things would change.
However, as it turned out, Lu Qing was overthinking it.
He examined it for a while, but the celestial palace remained unchanged, without revealing any information.
Just as he was about to continue investigating, he saw the light of the celestial palace suddenly surge, reaching an incomparably dazzling level.
Even with Lu Qing’s current strength, he couldn’t help but instinctively close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the light of the Immortal Palace had receded, returning to its normal state.
It seemed that what he had sensed earlier was just an illusion.
However, Lu Qing knew that it couldn’t be an illusion; the Immortal Palace must have undergone some kind of change.
Unfortunately, he had too little information and didn’t know what the change was.
What he was certain of was that this was definitely not the impending closure of the secret realm, but a more important change.
“It seems I still have to go and see to determine what has happened.”
Lu Qing thought for a moment, then without further hesitation, his figure transformed into a wisp of green smoke and headed towards the Immortal Palace.
His understanding of the Guixu Secret Realm was still too limited. He
had no way of knowing the reason for the change.
Previously, due to his strength, he didn’t want to contact other forces.
But now, he could change that slightly, for example, to see if the casual move he made earlier could come in handy.
When Lu Qing was undergoing the first tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, his speed was already faster than that of Demon Slaughter Mountain; after his strength greatly improved, his speed was naturally even more terrifying.
Even without using his full strength, he still quickly traversed large areas of palaces.
However, as he passed by the dozens of the largest palaces, Lu Qing suddenly stopped.
He discovered that these palaces were completely deserted, devoid of any life; all the forces had withdrawn.
“Did they all go to the Immortal Palace?” Lu Qing wondered.
He wasn’t sure, but it was clearly good news for him.
Previously, due to the presence of those forces, he hadn’t been able to download the forbidden inheritances from these dozens of palaces. Now that
those powerful figures were gone, it was a perfect opportunity.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing immediately changed his mind, deciding not to head towards the Immortal Palace for the time being. He
turned and arrived in front of one of the large palaces, activated his ability, and began downloading the inheritances.
In any case, with his current understanding of the [Mysterious Origin Restrictions], even downloading all the restrictions from these dozens of large palaces wouldn’t take much time.
As for the Immortal Palace, he was already a step behind the others, so a little more delay wouldn’t matter much.
Besides, he believed that even if those forces managed to enter in such a short time, they probably wouldn’t gain much.
After all, even collecting the treasures from the outer palaces took considerable effort.
The treasures within the Immortal Palace would undoubtedly be even more difficult to obtain.
While Lu Qing was moving between the various palaces, downloading the inheritance,
he was unaware that a tense atmosphere was brewing outside the Immortal Palace. (End of Chapter)
