I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 773

Chapter 772 The Curtain Falls and the Departure

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

A gigantic black hoof, like a towering mountain, flew out from the depths of the Star River Array, from the celestial palace.

With the power to shatter the starry sky, it traversed the array and blasted outwards.

First, it collided with the Heaven-Covering Demon Palm unleashed by Mo Cangtian.

Under the watchful eyes of all the powerful figures, the seemingly overwhelming and terrifying Heaven-Covering Demon Palm was shattered by the gigantic black hoof in a single blow.

Then, the gigantic black hoof, its momentum undiminished, continued its trajectory towards Mo Cangtian’s massive body.

“Hmm?”

Mo Cangtian hadn’t expected that such a powerful being was hidden within the Guixu Secret Realm.

The aura emanating from the gigantic black hoof clearly had reached the Dao Integration level.

He dared not be careless and struck out again with his palm to meet the gigantic black hoof.

Boom!

The gigantic black hoof, as large as a star, collided with the palm.

A terrifying energy storm instantly erupted in the starry sky.

Space was like a calm lake tossed with a boulder, instantly distorted and shattered.

A massive, pitch-black void appeared, countless spatial cracks spreading outwards, and ripples of spatial energy rapidly expanded in all directions, reaching thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye.

Even more shocking was that, under the terrifying collision, Mo Cangtian’s palm instantly shattered, exploding into a sky full of black energy.

He was as if struck by a star, tumbling backwards through the starry sky.

In just a breath, he was blasted tens of thousands of miles away, finally crashing into a meteorite suspended in the starry sky before barely coming to a stop.

“What!”

This clash with the unknown creature within the Immortal Palace resulted in Mo Cangtian being blasted away with a single blow.

This outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations.

The other four Dao Integration Realm experts all had their pupils shrink, watching this scene in astonishment.

Mo Cangtian’s strength was not weak; he was a powerhouse at the same level as them.

Yet, this Dao Integration Realm expert was actually blasted away by an unknown creature from the Guixu Secret Realm with a single hoof.

Judging from his aura, Mo Cangtian was clearly still seriously injured, even his very essence had been damaged.

As for the Nascent Soul Realm experts who had just emerged from the secret realm, they were utterly dumbfounded.

They had spent over twenty years in the Guixu Secret Realm, yet they had never known that such a terrifying being lurked within the Immortal Palace.

Fortunately, they hadn’t acted disrespectfully in the secret realm; otherwise, they would probably be dead without even knowing how.

“Hmm, you have some skill, you’re still alive. If you dare offend the Immortal Palace again, I’ll make sure you’re reduced to ashes, leaving no trace!”

The owner of the giant black hoof seemed somewhat surprised that its attack hadn’t shattered Mo Cangtian, but only sent him flying.

It slowly retracted its hoof, its voice like the might of heaven, warning Mo Cangtian.

As the giant black hoof returned to the Immortal Palace, the Star River Array accelerated its operation, and the illusory image of the Immortal Palace at its center slowly disappeared, about to sink into the endless void.

Boom!

Mo Cangtian rose from the nearly shattered meteorite, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as he stared at the celestial palace gradually disappearing into the void.

Ultimately, he dared not make a move, watching helplessly as the celestial palace vanished completely from the center of the great formation.

He then glanced at the other Dao Integration Realm cultivators who were looking at him with a seemingly mocking smile.

His expression changed slightly, and with a cold snort, spatial power surged around him, and his figure vanished from the spot.

He simply left, no longer arguing or entangled with the Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

“What a pity, this old demon is still so cautious.”

Seeing Mo Cangtian no longer approach and directly use spatial teleportation to leave, a hint of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the white-robed beauty from the Kongming Sect.

“He’s seriously injured now, his essence damaged. He’s afraid we’ll hunt him down, so naturally he doesn’t dare linger.”

The Sword Master of the Potian Sword Sect wasn’t surprised.

Mo Cangtian was inherently ruthless and cunning. Despite his earlier fierce shouts, such people are extremely afraid of death.

At the slightest sign of trouble, fleeing and running away was commonplace for him.

His essence had been damaged this time, and his injuries were not light. Facing four peak-level experts of the same level, it would be strange if he didn’t flee immediately.

On the contrary, the fact that such a powerful being was hidden within the Guixu Secret Realm surprised the Sword Master even more.

The Guixu Secret Realm had existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years since its appearance.

Yet, for all this time, no one had ever noticed the existence of life within it.

It was conceivable that the secrets contained within that immortal palace were far more exaggerated than they had imagined.

The other three Dao Integration Realm cultivators also looked at the depths of the Star River Array with equal astonishment and uncertainty.

An unknown being that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years—just thinking about it terrified them.

They hadn’t expected such a powerful being to be hidden within the Guixu Secret Realm.

No wonder Dao Integration Realm cultivators who had tried to force their way into the secret realm had all perished mysteriously.

With such a terrifying being guarding it, coupled with the array left behind by the Dao Transformation Immortal,

even the strongest Dao Integration Realm cultivator would likely perish within.

“Let’s go back. Now that things are settled, it’s time for us to leave.”

After concentrating and sensing for a while, but finding nothing, the Sword Master finally gave up.

He then turned to the beautiful woman in white and said, “Sect Master Lin, thank you for coming to help. Otherwise, I alone would probably not have been able to subdue that demon.”

“Brother Xuan, why do you say that? My disciples from the Kongming Sect are also here, so naturally we came to protect them.” The beautiful woman in white smiled gracefully.

“The opening of the Guixu Secret Realm this time is quite strange. I still need to go back and discuss it with my fellow disciples. I won’t stay any longer. Sect Master Lin, farewell.”

After saying this, the Sword Master waved his hand, and the treasure ship that Yu Jian and the others were riding on quickly shrank, with the people and the ship falling into the Sword Master’s sleeve.

Then, the Sword Master nodded slightly to the beautiful woman in white, took a step, and with a fluctuation of spatial laws, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman in white didn’t hesitate and also put her own treasure ship, along with Qingxi and the other disciples, into the flower basket.

The next moment, her figure blurred and slowly disappeared from the spot.

From beginning to end, the two ignored the Pavilion Master of Meixian Pavilion and the old man in black not far away, and did not talk to them.

“These two guys are still as arrogant as ever.”

The fox-like woman in pink gave a mocking laugh.

With that, she grabbed her treasure ship and teleported away.

Only the black-clad elder from the Netherworld Palace remained, shaking his head helplessly.

After all these years, these people’s tempers were still the same, almost unchanged from their youth.

“Master, what should we do?” Hei Ming asked.

“Naturally, we should go back. Once we’re back, you can explain the rest in detail.”

The black-clad elder knew his disciple’s temperament and knew he must have some things left unsaid.

However, there were too many people around; it wouldn’t be too late to ask carefully after returning to the Netherworld Palace.

After taking one last deep look at the completely closed Guixu Secret Realm, the black-clad elder led Hei Ming and the others away.

With the last Dao Integration Realm expert gone, the Nascent Soul Realm experts from the other forces finally relaxed a little.

However, they didn’t hesitate much and immediately activated their starships, scattering in all directions as if fleeing for their lives.

Even those forces that had been waiting outside, hoping to take advantage of the chaos, lost their desire to plunder.

After all, there was still a terrifying being in the nearby star array capable of severely injuring Mo Cangtian.

Who knew if fighting here would provoke that being to intervene again?

Moreover, they had heard that the forces that entered the secret realm hadn’t actually gained anything, so there was even less reason to take action.

Thus, the once bustling starry sky quickly became deserted and returned to calm.

Only the Silent Star Sea beside it continued to shimmer with starlight.

“What a pity, that old bastard has some skill; I didn’t manage to kill him outright.”

Inside the Immortal Palace, the black bull shook its hooves with some regret, seemingly dissatisfied with its performance.

It was it that had just struck, sending Mo Cangtian flying and injuring his very essence.

“Stop bragging. A Dao Integration Realm expert isn’t so easy to kill. Even if your realm is one or two minor levels higher, if he’s determined to escape, it’s unlikely you can kill him,”

Mingfeng said dismissively.

“That’s because my true body can’t leave here. Otherwise, even if I couldn’t kill a mere early Dao Integration Realm expert, I could severely deplete his essence, preventing him from recovering for ten thousand years,”

the black bull argued.

“That still means you can’t kill him,” Mingfeng said coldly.

“You…”

“Alright, stop arguing. You’re making a fool of yourself in front of A-Qing.”

Seeing the two arguing again, the old Azure Dragon, somewhat annoyed, quickly intervened.

The black bull and Mingfeng glanced at Lu Qing beside them, then both snorted coldly and stopped arguing.

Lu Qing, seeing this, simply kept his eyes down, pretending he hadn’t seen anything.

He was also pondering what had just happened.

Not long ago, the old Azure Dragon had informed him that the Guixu Secret Realm would be closing early.

After emerging from his cave, he was immediately teleported here by the Old Azure Dragon.

He then witnessed the events unfolding outside the Star River Array.

He hadn’t expected that his killing of the Black and White Temple disciples would ultimately attract the attention of five Dao Integration Realm experts.

If he hadn’t gained the Old Azure Dragon’s approval and been allowed to remain in the Immortal Palace, he

would likely have been captured and controlled by those Dao Integration Realm experts long ago.

While Lu Qing’s current strength was enough to make him fearless among those in the Nascent Soul Realm,

witnessing the clash between the Black Bull and Demon Azure Sky, he understood that a vast chasm existed between him and true Dao Integration Realm experts.

Even if he cultivated to the Ninth Tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm, he might not be able to withstand Demon Azure Sky’s palm strike.

The gap between major realms wasn’t easily bridged.

Unless he could break through his limits like someone in the Golden Core Realm, reaching the unprecedented Tenth Tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm,

perhaps he would have a chance to regain his invincible glory from the Golden Core Realm and challenge the Dao Integration Realm across realms.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing’s determination to quickly improve his cultivation became even stronger.

“Senior Canglong, now that the secret realm is closed, can I still leave?” Lu Qing asked.

“Ah Qing, do you want to leave the Immortal Palace?” the old Canglong asked.

The black bull and the phoenix also turned to look at him.

“Yes.” Lu Qing nodded, quite frankly, “I have family and friends outside. If I don’t go back for too long, they will definitely worry about my safety.

Moreover, the immortal mountains and caves in the second level space are no longer of much help to my cultivation.

If I want to continue to improve my cultivation, I’m afraid I will have to go out and find cultivation resources.”

Upon hearing this, the old Canglong and the others immediately became somewhat embarrassed.

They naturally knew about Lu Qing’s cultivation situation over the past few years.

The immortal mountains and caves in the second level space were indeed no longer able to help him improve his cultivation.

Now, each cave full of spiritual energy could only allow Lu Qing to cultivate for one or two days at most before the spiritual energy would become depleted, and he would need to slowly recover for a period of time before he could continue cultivating.

Even after absorbing all the spiritual energy from an entire cultivation cave, Lu Qing’s cultivation level increased only slightly.

The sheer amount of resources Lu Qing needed for cultivation far exceeded the old Azure Dragon and the others’ expectations.

Nevertheless, the fact that a dignified Immortal Palace couldn’t supply its own disciple’s cultivation needs still made the old Azure Dragon and the others somewhat ashamed.

“Actually, after closing the secret realm early this time, the spiritual energy within the Immortal Palace will increase again after a while. Ah Qing, you can cultivate for a while longer; there’s no need to rush out,” the old Azure Dragon explained.

“It’s not just about the amount of spiritual energy,” Lu Qing shook his head. “My current magical power is quite pure; ordinary spiritual energy is no longer enough to increase my cultivation.

I’ve experimented, and now I’m afraid only spiritual items of the same level as high-grade spirit stones can meet my cultivation needs.”

“High-grade spirit stones, huh? It’s a pity that when Master left, he took all the spirit stones from the Immortal Palace with him; otherwise, you wouldn’t have to worry about cultivation resources,” the old Azure Dragon sighed.

“Senior, there’s no need for that. My master has already left us with enough opportunities, and I am deeply grateful. I cannot be greedy and ask for more,” Lu Qing said solemnly.

“Then when do you plan to leave, Qing?”

The old Azure Dragon was quite satisfied with Lu Qing’s attitude.

At least Lu Qing was very respectful to his master and never showed any disrespect.

“I’ll leave after Xiao Li emerges from seclusion,” Lu Qing replied.

He could take advantage of Xiao Li’s seclusion to finish the remaining tasks.

“Alright, I think Xiao Li’s cultivation is almost complete. I’ll send you off after it emerges from seclusion,”

the old Azure Dragon nodded, offering no words of dissuasion.

It understood that with the current state of the Immortal Palace, it could no longer provide Lu Qing with much help. If

Lu Qing wanted to advance further, he really had to go outside.

As for the Black Bull and the Phoenix, they also remained silent.

In fact, they had long anticipated Lu Qing’s departure. They

just hadn’t expected it to come so sooner than they had originally estimated.

In the time that followed, peace returned to the celestial palace.

Lu Qing returned to his cave dwelling on the second level of the Immortal Palace to cultivate.

Just as the old Azure Dragon had said, after the secret realm closed, the spiritual energy within the Immortal Palace became much denser.

However, this didn’t significantly benefit Lu Qing’s cultivation.

Besides cultivating, Lu Qing also tested the passageway several times, collecting all the available inheritances.

A month passed in this way, and on this day, Xiao Li finally emerged from seclusion.
