I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 763

Chapter 762 The Way of Cause and Effect, the Art of Curse Killing, Changing the Cave Dwelling

Upon seeing the illusory space in Lu Qing’s palm, and the Demon Slaughter Mountain’s primordial spirit sinking within it, the old Azure Dragon and the others’ gazes narrowed slightly.

After observing it up close, they felt even more the exquisite nature of the illusory space in Lu Qing’s hand.

Moreover, Lu Qing’s cultivation was only at the fifth tribulation of the primordial spirit realm, yet he was able to transform illusion into reality, condensing a real illusory space that completely captivated Demon Slaughter Mountain.

His mastery of illusion techniques was simply inconceivable.

It should be known that even if Demon Slaughter Mountain was severely injured, he was still essentially an eighth tribulation primordial spirit, his Dao heart tempered and unwavering.

Yet, he still couldn’t maintain his composure within Lu Qing’s illusory space, completely succumbing to countless illusions.

One could imagine just how powerful the illusory space Lu Qing created was.

“Three seniors, what I wish to ask is, is there any way to completely kill Demon Slaughter Mountain?” Lu Qing asked.

“Completely annihilate?”

“That’s right, completely annihilate. Not just this primordial spirit, but also any other possible avatars, all of them destroyed together, a true annihilation of both body and soul.” Lu Qing nodded.

The reason Lu Qing trapped Mo Tu Shan in the illusionary space was naturally not just to torture him.

More importantly, he actually wanted to completely annihilate Mo Tu Shan through this primordial spirit.

Because he knew that core disciples of top-tier forces often left avatars within the sect.

If the main body outside perished, the sect could revive him through the avatars at a certain cost.

This was not what Lu Qing wanted to see.

Hearing Lu Qing’s words, Old Canglong and the others exchanged glances, their expressions becoming somewhat serious.

“Ah Qing, to cross vast distances of time and space and simultaneously annihilate all the avatars of an eighth-tribulation primordial spirit, that’s not easy to do,” Old Canglong said.

“Even among Dao Integration Realm experts, only those skilled in the Dao of Cause and Effect could disregard the distance of space and time, the isolation of the world’s membrane, and the defenses of numerous magical treasures and formations to completely curse and kill an Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul along with all its divided souls.”

“Otherwise, even someone like me, a Dao Integration Realm expert relatively skilled in the Dao of Space, wouldn’t be able to completely annihilate this Demon Slaughter Mountain here.”

“So difficult?” Lu Qing was somewhat surprised after hearing the old Azure Dragon’s words.

He had originally thought that the three Dao Integration Realm experts would have some way, but he hadn’t expected that killing all the divided souls of an Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul and preventing its resurrection would be so difficult.

“Of course it’s difficult. If Nascent Soul Realm experts were so easily killed, wouldn’t all the major powers be in a state of fear, afraid to send their disciples out for training?”

Lu Qing thought this made sense.

Nascent Soul Realm experts were considered powerful figures in many great worlds.

If they could be easily and completely annihilated, the cultivation world would probably be very different now.

“Senior Canglong, what you call the Dao of Cause and Effect…”

“You don’t need to even think about that.” The old Canglong shook his head. “The Dao of Cause and Effect is mysterious and unpredictable, as profound and obscure as the Dao of Space. Even in ancient times, no one could master it.

As far as we know, the only one who has made any progress in it is a Dao Integration Realm expert called the Cursed Old Man.

This Cursed Old Man comprehended and mastered the Law of Curses from the Dao of Cause and Effect, and comprehended extremely powerful curse abilities.

His curse killing techniques are terrifying to ghosts and gods. Although he is only at the Dao Integration Realm, even Dao Transformation Immortals are wary of him.

If that Cursed Old Man were to make a move, let alone a Nascent Soul Realm expert, even a Dao Integration Realm expert would be either killed or seriously injured if he were to use his curse killing.

However, this Cursed Old Man offended a powerful Dao Transformation Immortal in ancient times because of his eccentric behavior.

In the end, he was chased by that Dao Transformation Immortal and fled to the Tongtian Demon Abyss, where he disappeared. We don’t know if he perished there.”

“The Cursed Old Man, the Tongtian Demon Abyss?” Lu Qing’s heart stirred.

Old Azure Dragon waved his hand, saying, “Qing, you don’t need to inquire about the Abyss of Heaven. That place is beyond your reach right now. It’s a terrifying forbidden zone that even Dao Integration Realm cultivators dare not approach, and even Dao Transformation Immortals find it difficult to penetrate.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately understood the terrifying nature of the so-called Abyss of Heaven.

A place that even Dao Integration Realm cultivators dare not approach, and Dao Transformation Immortals are unwilling to explore deeply, he, a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, probably didn’t even have the qualifications to glance at.

“The Dao of Curses…”

“We don’t have any secret techniques like curses in our Immortal Palace. Our master said back then that secret techniques of cursing and killing are against the natural order, and cultivating them is even more harmful to oneself and others, damaging one’s own foundation, so we haven’t collected any such techniques.”

“I see. It seems we can’t completely kill this demon brat for the time being.”

Lu Qing shook his head and put away the illusion space in his hand.

He planned to ponder it slowly when he had time later.

The three old Azure Dragons didn’t say anything when they saw this.

A mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was nothing to them.

Even if Lu Qing really crushed him on the spot, they wouldn’t have any objections.

“Senior Azure Dragon, please escort me to the Sword Dao Inheritance Ground.”

“Alright.”

The old Azure Dragon didn’t say much. With a wave of its claws, a surge of spatial power teleported Lu Qing to the Sword Dao Inheritance Ground.

However, after Lu Qing’s figure disappeared, the three old Azure Dragons looked at each other, their joy no longer able to be suppressed.

“Old Azure Dragon, we’ve truly struck gold this time!” the black bull couldn’t help but say. “I never expected that Qing would possess such talent not only in the Dao of Arrays but also in other cultivation paths!”

“Qing’s cultivation talent is far stronger than any of Master’s previous disciples!” Mingfeng nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, I see Master’s shadow in Qing. Perhaps in the future, Qing might even be able to cultivate to Master’s level.” The old Azure Dragon also sighed.

“Master’s level!”

The black bull and Mingfeng were both shocked.

However, recalling the various talents Lu Qing had displayed these past few days, they had to admit that the old Azure Dragon’s words made a lot of sense.

“If Ah Qing can truly reach Master’s level, I wonder how happy Master will be when he finds out,” the black bull chuckled.

Little Li, watching the three incredibly powerful elders praising Lu Qing so highly, couldn’t help but proudly raise its head.

Just then, the old Azure Dragon saw this and smiled, “Little Li, since Ah Qing has gone to cultivate, let’s continue our previous trials.”

“Okay~” Xiao Li responded loudly, showing no fear.

The next moment, its figure vanished from its spot, entering the spatial maze.

“The Way of Cause and Effect, the Art of Curse…”

Lu Qing, situated in the place of sword inheritance, wasn’t in a hurry to accept the inheritance, but instead pondered the old Azure Dragon’s earlier words.

According to the old Azure Dragon, only an extremely profound curse technique could completely annihilate Demon Slaughter Mountain.

Unfortunately, he currently lacked any curse-related techniques.

“It seems I’ll have to keep an eye out for techniques related to the Way of Cause and Effect in the future,”

Lu Qing decided.

He didn’t want a demon like Demon Slaughter Mountain to have any chance of resurrection.

He didn’t even intend to spare the other Black and White Sect disciples in the secret realm.

However, these matters could wait until he had received the inheritance here.

Setting this aside for the time being, Lu Qing then surveyed his surroundings.

Unlike the Array Dao Inheritance Ground, the Sword Dao Inheritance Ground lacked the complex array patterns.

In the small space, only three testing stones—gray, white, and gold—stood.

Lu Qing was very familiar with the aura emanating from the gray testing stone.

It was the sword intent aura of the [Return to the Void Freedom Sword] Primordial Spirit Chapter, which he had comprehended in the Sword Dao Passage.

Lu Qing directly approached the gray testing stone, activated his ability, and gazed at it.

Three days later, Lu Qing left the Sword Dao Inheritance Ground.

In fact, he had already downloaded all the inheritances on the first day.

As he expected, he was currently unable to comprehend the Dao Integration Chapter and Dao Transformation Chapter of the [Return to the Void Freedom Sword].

Therefore, he later spent time deducing the Primordial Spirit Chapter of the [Return to the Void Freedom Sword] to see if he could integrate it into his own sword Dao domain.

Only after gaining some insight did he leave the Inheritance Ground.

The old Azure Dragons weren’t surprised that Lu Qing only spent three days emerging from the Inheritance Grounds.

In fact, they were somewhat surprised that Lu Qing’s inheritance process took longer than they expected,

considering he had only taken less than half a day to receive the Array Dao inheritance.

And based on his performance in the Sword Dao passage, Lu Qing’s talent in swordsmanship was clearly superior to his talent in array formation.

Yet, receiving the array Dao inheritance took even longer.

Lu Qing didn’t offer much explanation.

The old Azure Dragons didn’t press him further; unexpected events were normal in cultivation.

Perhaps Lu Qing had gained deeper insights in the Sword Dao inheritance grounds, which delayed him.

After leaving the Inheritance Grounds, Lu Qing inquired about Xiao Li’s condition.

Knowing it was undergoing a test from the old Azure Dragons, he didn’t disturb it, offered some encouragement, and then returned to Lingxu Peak.

Sitting cross-legged in his cave on Lingxu Peak, Lu Qing was about to cultivate when he suddenly felt something was amiss.

The spiritual energy in the cave was much thinner than when he had first entered.

“Has the spiritual energy in the cave not recovered after all this time?” Lu Qing frowned.

He had cultivated in this cave for several years, raising his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Fifth Tribulation.

The spiritual energy in the cave had consumed a considerable amount of his energy.

He hadn’t expected that after several days, the spiritual energy in the cave hadn’t recovered.

“It seems that the spiritual energy of each immortal mountain cave has its limits. It will probably take some time for this cave to fully recover.”

Feeling the speed at which the spiritual energy in the cave was recovering, Lu Qing understood somewhat.

These immortal mountains and caves in the Immortal Palace floated in mid-air, without any earthly support.

The reason they could still continuously generate spiritual energy was due to his master, Guixu Daoist.

With unimaginable supernatural powers, he had gathered spiritual veins from other places and sealed them deep within each immortal mountain.

Then, using these spiritual veins as the foundation, he had set up ingenious arrays to continuously draw energy from the depths of the void and convert it into spiritual energy.

However, it now seemed that this conversion also had its limits.

At least for now, the spiritual energy conversion speed of this Lingxu Peak cave dwelling couldn’t keep up with his cultivation needs.

Lu Qing checked the remaining spirit stones on his person and found that he didn’t have many left.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and left the Lingxu Peak cave dwelling, arriving at another immortal mountain nearby.

“Senior Canglong said that I can choose any cave dwelling here to live in, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, and finally took out the Guixu Token and imprinted it on the cave dwelling door of this new immortal mountain.

Soon, this immortal mountain, named Lingming Peak, was activated by him, opening the cave dwelling.

Lu Qing flew into the cave dwelling, closed it, and began a new round of seclusion.

The activation of Lingming Peak naturally immediately attracted the attention of the old Canglong.

“Old Canglong, what’s wrong?”

The black bull, who was watching Xiao Li solve the spatial maze, noticed its expression and asked.

A strange look appeared on the old Azure Dragon’s face: “Ah Qing activated Lingming Peak and went into the cave inside for seclusion?”

The black bull was taken aback: “Why did she suddenly go to Lingming Peak? Isn’t Lingxu Peak good enough?”

Mingfeng also cast a questioning glance.

“Let me check it out first.”

The old Azure Dragon closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings.

After a few breaths, he opened his eyes again, a hint of surprise appearing in them.

“The spiritual energy on Lingxu Peak has weakened considerably, less than one-tenth of its usual level.”

“The spiritual energy on Lingxu Peak has weakened? How could that be? Could there be a problem with the formation?” the black bull asked.

“Impossible!” Mingfeng immediately retorted, “The arrays within the many immortal mountains on the second level were personally set up by the master, how could they possibly malfunction!”

“The arrays on Lingxu Peak are functioning without problems,” the old Azure Dragon shook its head, “Its spiritual energy is slowly recovering, but the recovery speed is rather slow. It will probably take some time to fully recover.”

“So that’s why Aqing moved to Lingming Peak to cultivate?” The black bull suddenly realized, but then it became puzzled again, “But why did the spiritual energy on Lingxu Peak suddenly weaken so much?”

“This is probably still related to Aqing.”

The old Azure Dragon recalled how Lu Qing had refined almost all the pills it had given him.

Combined with the sudden decrease in the spiritual energy of Lingxu Peak,

a guess slowly formed in its mind.

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s because the spiritual energy of Lingxu Peak can’t fully supply Aqing’s cultivation needs, which is why it suddenly plummeted.”

“How is that possible? The spiritual energy of Lingxu Peak is more than enough to support even a ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Aqing is only a fifth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, how could…”

The black bull instinctively began to retort, but then suddenly stopped.

It remembered the strength Lu Qing had displayed in the battle at Demon Slaughter Mountain, and his enormous True Witch body.

It suddenly understood why the old Azure Dragon had said that.
