I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 789

Chapter 788 Abundant Harvest

“Have you found out what happened?”

In the inner city of Zhou Tian City, a dignified middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe embroidered with lightning patterns asked solemnly.

Behind him stood seven or eight figures exuding primordial spirit aura, while in front of him were several women slumped on the ground, their hair disheveled.

“Palace Master, we’ve found out.”

A young man, also wearing a lightning robe, stepped forward to report.

“A mysterious powerhouse wearing a black cloak and a ghost mask suddenly appeared, cleaved the entire Zhou Tian City in two with a single sword strike, and destroyed the Zhou Tian Star Array. He

then killed the Gongshu Clan Chief and several other primordial spirit ancestors of the Gongshu family.

Afterward, he broke into the inner city and directly looted several treasure vaults of the Gongshu family.

Before leaving, he also killed all the primordial spirit and golden core realm cultivators hiding in the inner city.”

Hearing the young man’s report, the expressions of the seven or eight standing figures changed repeatedly.

There was no way around it; everything the young man said was simply too astonishing.

Whether it was cleaving Zhou Tian City in two with a single sword strike or slaying the patriarch of the Gongshu family and numerous Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, it required immense strength to accomplish such an feat.

Zhou Tian City, in particular, had been fortified by the Gongshu family for hundreds of thousands of years, making it virtually impregnable.

The Zhou Tian Star Array was a renowned and powerful formation in the Tianyuan Great World.

Logically speaking, even a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at the eighth or ninth tribulation level would find it difficult to breach in a short time.

Yet now, someone claimed to have shattered Zhou Tian City with a single sword strike?

Everyone found it too exaggerated, to the point that they couldn’t believe it for a moment.

Even the dignified middle-aged man was shaken.

He looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, “Is everything you’ve said true?”

“Reporting to the Palace Master, what I’ve said is all based on firsthand accounts from the city’s inhabitants outside; everything is true.

I even used soul-searching techniques to examine the souls of several thieves who took advantage of the chaos to invade the inner city.

The results were exactly as the city’s inhabitants described,”

the young man said solemnly.

In fact, when he first learned this information, he was even more incredulous than anyone else here.

It was precisely because it seemed so absurd that he went so far as to use soul-searching techniques to examine the souls of several Golden Core cultivators who had committed crimes during the chaos. But he

never expected that the result would be that it was all true!

“A single sword cleaved through Zhou Tian City…”

the dignified middle-aged man murmured, his heart even more shaken.

If what the young man reported was true, then the mysterious person who attacked Zhou Tian City was incredibly powerful; even he wouldn’t be a match for them.

But how did the Gongshu family provoke such a terrifying enemy?

This was something that the dignified middle-aged man also couldn’t understand.

Just then, the young woman at the front of the group of sobbing women, dressed in luxurious robes, cried out.

“Lord Palace Master, you must avenge our Gongshu family! There’s no mistake, that demon is the thief who assassinated our Seventh Master and stole the Second Branch’s treasure trove! His attire is exactly the same as back then!”

“What did you say?!” The dignified middle-aged man trembled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, “Are you sure this mysterious expert who destroyed Zhou Tian City is the same person from back then?”

The young woman was the wife of a direct descendant of the younger generation of the Gongshu family, and her status within the family was not low.

She had only escaped death because her cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

She knew some of what had happened back then, and thus nodded with hatred in her eyes.

“There’s no mistake, the demon’s mask is exactly the same as back then, it’s definitely that person!”

The dignified middle-aged man’s hand trembled, unable to conceal his inner shock.

He knew that the thing the Holy Alliance had feared most for decades had finally happened.

He abruptly stood up: “Let’s go, we’ll return to the Holy Alliance immediately!”

Now that the person had appeared, they had to report this matter as quickly as possible.

As for the Gongshu family, they were no longer within his consideration.

A family whose members at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages had almost all perished was no longer worth paying too much attention to.

Even if one old monster still survives outside the starry sky, the Gongshu family’s fall from the ranks of the thirty-six superior clans is already a foregone conclusion.

Such a family, destined for decline, is no longer worth his attention.

…

“Ah Qing, we’ve really struck it rich this time!”

In a smaller treasure vault, Xiao Li was rolling around in a pile of spirit stones, her face beaming with happiness.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Bai, on the other hand, remained stunned for a long time.

Even Lu Qing was thrilled.

He had already broken open several treasure vaults and inventoried everything.

Even the storage treasures on the primordial spirits of the white-haired, youthful-faced elder and the others he had slain from the Gongshu family had been inventoried.

It could be said that the harvest was extremely rich.

So rich that Lu Qing was somewhat excited.

The treasures and pills, needless to say, were numerous, though they wouldn’t be of much help to Lu Qing.

But the spirit stones, which he valued most, also gave him a tremendous surprise.

Just like the second branch’s treasure vault he had previously plundered, the lowest grade spirit stones stored in these Gongshu family vaults were mid-grade spirit stones; low-grade spirit stones were simply not included.

Lu Qing roughly calculated that, including the storage treasures of the Gongshu family’s primordial spirits from the several vaults, the mid-grade spirit stones alone exceeded two million!

And the high-grade spirit stones exceeded twenty thousand!

Twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones—this was a terrifying number.

Keep in mind, Lu Qing had only managed to plunder a thousand high-grade spirit stones from the second branch’s treasure vault. Even

the astonishing auction in Tian Shu City, where the high-grade spirit artifact, the Immortal Golden Bell, was auctioned for only fifteen thousand high-grade spirit stones.

“As expected of a powerful family with hundreds of thousands of years of history, their accumulated resources are indeed profound,”

Lu Qing sighed deeply.

However, he also understood why the Gongshu family had so many high-grade spirit stones.

Firstly, it was the result of the Gongshu family’s long-standing accumulation over tens of thousands of years.

Secondly, the spiritual essence contained within high-grade spirit stones is too refined; without sufficient strength, it’s difficult to refine them.

For ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, using mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation is already considered a luxury.

Using high-grade spirit stones for cultivation is a tremendous waste.

Only those who have reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm of Seven Tribulations or higher can truly refine the spiritual essence within without wasting it.

In other words, most Nascent Soul cultivators in the Gongshu family will never be qualified to use high-grade spirit stones for cultivation in their entire lives.

Over time, the clan’s high-grade spirit stones have accumulated more and more.

Conversely, the consumption of mid-grade spirit stones is much greater.

Therefore, the total amount in the several treasure troves is only two million.

Of course, whether it’s two million mid-grade spirit stones or twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones, it’s a huge gain for Lu Qing.

While the effect of mid-grade spirit stones on him isn’t significant, it’s not entirely useless.

If there’s a sufficient quantity, it can still allow him to make considerable progress in his cultivation.

Moreover, even if he doesn’t use them, they would be excellent cultivation resources for Xiao Yan and Xiao Li.

The 20,000 high-grade spirit stones would undoubtedly allow him to achieve a significant breakthrough in his cultivation.

At least surviving one or two more Nascent Soul tribulations shouldn’t be a problem.

Besides this, Lu Qing had another unexpected gain.

He carefully took out a small box.

Ugh, someone in my family has the flu, and I’ve caught it too. Although I took preventative medication beforehand, and the symptoms aren’t severe, I’m still drowsy all day. I hope everyone stays healthy; being sick is awful. There should be another update tonight.
