I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 739

Chapter 739 Eight Trials, Each Person’s Choice

“Mo Tu Shan, what do you mean by this?”

Yu Jian asked calmly before the Immortal Palace.

Qing Xi stood beside him, while disciples from the Po Tian Sword Sect and the Kong Ming Sect stood guard behind him.

This was because Mo Tu Shan was currently leading the Black and White Temple disciples, blocking their way.

As for the other forces, they kept their distance, watching with their own thoughts, showing no intention of interfering.

In their view, it would be better if these major sects fought to the death, so that there would be fewer competitors.

“Nothing much. Before, you were barking quite loudly outside my secluded palace. I was cultivating my divine skills at the time and didn’t have time to pay attention to you. Now it’s time to settle this score.”

Mo Tu Shan stood there lazily, seemingly indifferent.

“Interesting. Before, you were like a coward, hiding in that palace and not daring to come out. Now you actually dare to provoke us. It seems that you have successfully refined your demonic treasure, so it has given you confidence?” Qing Xi said coldly.

Her words made Mo Tu Shan’s eyes narrow slightly.

He thought for a moment and immediately realized where the problem lay.

That day, he was distracted by that fifth-tribulation brat and forgot to silence the several heavily injured Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Presumably, Yu Jian and the others learned the situation from those people.

Although inwardly annoyed, Mo Tu Shan’s expression remained unchanged.

He coldly smiled: “Enough nonsense. Since you dared to insult my Black and White Sect that day, have you thought about how you’re going to die?”

With that, a terrifying aura rose from Mo Tu Shan’s body.

“Afraid of you?!”

Qing Xi coldly retorted, her own body radiating a chilling sword intent.

The two auras collided, instantly creating a shockwave that made the other powerful figures’ eyelids twitch.

“Are they really going to fight?!”

Seeing this, the other observing forces were all taken aback.

They thought these sects were just going through the motions of a standoff, but now it seemed they were really going to fight? They

should know that the Immortal Palace was about to open, a golden opportunity for exploration.

What surprised them even more was that Demon Slaughter Mountain dared to confront both the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect and the Void Bright Sect with its own strength.

Where did it get such confidence? Could it be the demonic treasure that Qingxi had mentioned earlier?

However, after the initial surprise, everyone became expectant again.

As the saying goes, whether it was the Black and White Temple, the Sky-Breaking Sword Sect, or the Void Bright Sect, their strength was simply too great.

If these major sects really fought, regardless of the final outcome, they would inevitably weaken each other.

That would be a good thing for them.

“Clan leader, what should we do?”

The old man asked telepathically from the edge of the distance.

“Let’s wait and see,” the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe said calmly. “It’s a good opportunity to see what trump cards these major sects have.”

If it were before, the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe might have been a little uneasy, fearing that he would be caught in the crossfire.

But having already stepped into the ninth tribulation of the Nascent Soul realm, he was now extremely confident in his strength, and his mentality had completely changed. He was clearly watching the show with amusement.

Because he knew that no matter how fiercely these major sects fought, the final winner would inevitably be him.

However, he also wanted to know what gave Demon Slaughter Mountain the confidence to simultaneously provoke two Eight Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivators of his own level.

“Oh, the Immortal Palace hasn’t even opened yet, and you two are already going to settle this score here?”

Just as the battle was about to erupt, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned to look and saw Hei Ming and Fairy Peach walking side by side.

Behind them were disciples from the Netherworld Palace and the Charming Immortal Pavilion.

Clearly, these two sects had also formed an alliance.

The arrival of Hei Ming and the others immediately eased the tense atmosphere.

Especially when Demon Slaughter Mountain saw Hei Ming and Fairy Peach approaching together, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze suddenly became even more profound.

He coldly said, “What, Black Netherworld, does your Netherworld Palace also want to get involved?”

“Of course,” Black Netherworld replied without hesitation. “Brother Yu Jian has done me a favor, so naturally I must lend him a hand.”

After saying that, Black Netherworld looked at Yu Jian and said, “Brother Yu Jian, I have a suggestion. How about we join forces and kill these brats from the Black and White Temple first?”

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Black and White Temple trembled.

If the four opposing factions joined forces, it would be the worst news for them.

Even if Senior Brother Tu Shan possessed the supreme treasure, he would probably find it difficult to resist.

Even Mo Tu Shan’s surging demonic energy trembled, and he couldn’t help but look at Yu Jian.

However, unexpectedly, Yu Jian shook his head.

“My Breaking Heaven Sword Sect will not cooperate with evil forces. Forget about it.”

“That’s right, our Kongming Sect also doesn’t trust you demons. Who knows if you have some kind of conspiracy!” Qing Xi also said coldly.

“Haha.” Mo Tu Shan felt a slight relief and laughed heartily. “Brother Hei Ming, I’ve said it before, why bother offering your warm face to these so-called righteous sects?

I have a suggestion, how about our three sects unite and wipe out the Po Tian Sword Sect and the Kong Ming Sect?”

“Your Black and White Sect has always been fickle, I don’t trust you.” Hei Ming shook his head in return. “Besides, I’ve said it before, Brother Yu Jian has been kind to me, I won’t lay a hand on him.”

Mo Tu Shan then looked at Fairy Tao.

Unexpectedly, this charming beauty smiled seductively: “I’ll listen to Senior Brother Hei Ming.”

This scene made Mo Tu Shan’s gaze turn cold again.

However, he quickly composed himself and smiled: “It seems that this battle won’t happen. Then let’s settle this score later. Yu Jian, Qing Xi, next time we meet, you won’t be so lucky.”

“Next time, I will definitely cut you down with my sword.” Qing Xi retorted without backing down.

Seeing this, many people from the other forces showed expressions of disappointment.

They knew that the battle they had been anticipating would not take place.

However, they quickly lost interest in the matter.

Suddenly, the celestial palace trembled again, erupting with dazzling light that blinded everyone.

Even their spiritual senses were filled with a white void, unable to perceive anything.

Fortunately, this had happened once before, so they didn’t panic. They remained on guard, waiting patiently.

Soon, the light subsided, and when all the powerful figures regained their vision,

they discovered a significant change ahead.

The vast city wall that had previously stretched before them had suddenly transformed into multiple enormous portals.

Above each portal was a spatial vortex.

Above the vortexes floated numerous words:

physical body, elixirs, talismans, formations, swordsmanship, mana, divine soul, laws, and so on—eight portals in total.

Seeing this change, the powerful figures were surprised, but not entirely unexpected.

They already knew from the scrolls left by their ancestors or grandmasters what would happen when the Immortal Palace opened.

It is said that when the Celestial Palace opens, eight portals will appear, each corresponding to one of the eight paths to immortality.

Each portal contains numerous trials.

Passing these trials grants rewards from the Celestial Palace.

Successfully opening all portals allows entry into the Celestial Palace, where one can receive its great fortune.

Unfortunately, according to records, the Guixu Secret Realm has opened twice, yet no one has ever been able to pass through any portal and truly enter the Celestial Palace.

“Just as the Ancestor recorded, there are eight portals in total,”

Mo Tushan thought, looking at the eight spatial vortexes that appeared.

Without hesitation, he led the disciples of the Black and White Sect towards the spatial vortex marked with the physical body.

Seeing Mo Tushan and the others disappear into the spatial vortex, Yu Jian and the others were somewhat surprised.

They hadn’t expected Mo Tushan and the others to choose the portal representing the physical body.

It should be known that while the Black and White Sect’s cultivation method is demonic, producing extremely powerful physical bodies

, it also has its unique aspects.

Unexpectedly, he ultimately chose to venture into the portal representing the path of the physical body.

“Brother Yu Jian, which portal will you choose?” Hei Ming asked.

Yu Jian didn’t answer, but looked at Qing Xi: “Junior Sister Qing Xi, which gate will you choose?”

“Naturally, the Sword Path.” Qing Xi smiled slightly, “Most of the disciples from our Kongming Sect who came this time are skilled in the Sword Path, so we have no other choice.”

“That’s perfect, we can support each other.” Yu Jian nodded.

If the Kongming Sect had other choices, their Potian Sword Sect only had the Sword Path to choose from.

Immediately, the disciples of both the Potian Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect headed towards the Sword Path portal.

“As expected, they chose the Sword Path.”

Hei Ming wasn’t surprised at all. He shook his head and looked at Fairy Tao.

“Fairy, what about you? Which portal does your Meixian Pavilion plan to take?”

Fairy Tao smiled sweetly: “Our Meixian Pavilion has some experience in the path of the soul.”

“Then it seems we’ll have to part ways for now.” Hei Ming laughed.

“That’s not necessarily true. It’s rumored that these eight portals aren’t completely isolated; they intersect at certain points. At that time, Senior Brother Heiming, please show mercy and don’t harm me,” Fairy Peach said with a charming smile.

“Of course, we’ve sworn an oath with our primordial spirits.”

Heiming turned and walked forward, but the portal he chose surprised everyone.

He was heading towards the portal of laws.

“He actually chose the path of laws?”

“Heiming is actually skilled in the path of laws?”

“Even an eighth-tribulation primordial spirit shouldn’t be able to comprehend many laws, right?”

“No wonder he’s the young master of the Netherworld Palace!”

The group of powerful figures immediately started discussing when they saw Heiming’s choice.

Even Fairy Peach’s eyes flickered upon seeing this.

“He actually chose the path of laws. According to the scrolls left by the patriarch, that’s the most obscure and difficult portal to traverse. How can Heiming be so confident?”

Fairy Peach watched as Heiming led the disciples of the Netherworld Palace and disappeared into the spatial vortex.

After standing there for a while, he led the disciples of the Charming Immortal Pavilion toward the portal representing the path of the divine soul.

Soon, the figures of the Charming Immortal Pavilion disciples disappeared into the spatial vortex.

Only then did the other forces begin to act, choosing the portals they wanted to enter.

They had no choice; the five major sects were too powerful. Although they had their own trump cards, they didn’t want to provoke them.

Soon, the other forces also chose their respective portals and disappeared into the spatial vortex.

Most of these forces deliberately avoided the portals chosen by the five major sects.

Although, according to the records of their ancestors, most areas within the portals, except for certain special nodes, were not allowed to be used for combat. Even

if they entered, as long as they didn’t enter those nodes, they wouldn’t be attacked.

However, most of the powerful individuals still wanted to avoid the five major sects.

Before long, those forces that had remained outside had mostly entered the portals.

Only then did the middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe, who had been at the very back, lead his clansmen forward slowly.

He looked up at the eight enormous portals ahead, lost in thought.

He had witnessed the previous conflicts among the five major sects. He

understood that these sects were wary of each other and harbored their own ulterior motives.

However, this suited him perfectly.

The fiercer the fighting among these major sects, the more time their Immortal Clan would have to rise again.

If they maintained peace and stability, that would be the worst news for him.

“Clan leader, which portal should we choose?” the elder asked.

“Naturally, we should choose the path of magical power.”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe had already made his decision.

“Indeed, clan leader, you are now a Ninth Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator. Your magical power is unparalleled among all the strong in the entire secret realm. Choosing the path of magical power is the best option.” The elder immediately praised. “

Let’s go. This time, our clan is determined to seize the opportunity of the Immortal Palace!”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe led his clansmen toward the portal representing the path of magical power.

After the Great Yuan Immortal Clan members entered the spatial vortex, a few more figures sneaked over, chose a portal, and rushed in.

If Yu Jian and the others had witnessed this scene, they would have recognized those as the very same Nascent Soul Realm cultivators he had instructed to hide.

Once these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators entered the spatial vortex, the area outside the Immortal Palace returned to calm.

Only the spatial vortexes on the eight enormous portals remained, silently swirling.

After a long while, a figure quietly approached—none other than Lu Qing.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Qing stared in astonishment at the deserted outer perimeter of the Immortal Palace, the eight swirling spatial vortexes, and the ancient characters on them.

Sensing the surroundings and confirming there were indeed no other living beings, he activated his ability and looked towards one of the portals.

After a long while, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

“So that’s how it is. These eight spatial vortexes are eight channels of trial. Once you enter one and pass all the trials at one of the portals, you can truly enter the Immortal Palace and obtain immense opportunities. The trials of the Immortal Palace are indeed special.”

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then finally chose one of the spatial vortexes and entered.

As Lu Qing entered the spatial vortex, within the Immortal Palace, several ancient Dao wills slowly awakened from their slumber. (End of Chapter)
