I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 804
Chapter 803 Demon Clan Movements, Great Gains
The black-robed elder’s heart trembled violently.
He couldn’t believe that the terrifying being in the light screen, who even a Dao Integration Realm divine sense avatar would have to bow down to, had only stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm a few decades ago.
The others were equally astonished.
“If there are no surprises, that should be it. We also found out that the mysterious person who recently broke through Zhou Tian City with a sword and plundered the Gongshu family is very likely this same person,”
another figure said solemnly.
In fact, his shock was no less than that of the black-robed elder and the others.
After all, any of these events were extremely shocking.
When he first learned of this news, he almost doubted whether his subordinates had made a mistake.
Only after multiple confirmations did he realize that the information was correct.
“He’s the one who broke through Zhou Tian City?”
The black-robed elder suddenly realized.
When Zhou Tian City was breached, they also saw the astonishing sword mark and deeply felt the terror of the person who broke through the city.
If the person who made the move was this one in the light screen, then everything would make sense.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator at the ninth tribulation stage could be blasted apart with a single punch, and even a Dao Integration Realm divine sense clone would have to yield.
The fact that his sword cleaved through Zhou Tian City seemed perfectly natural.
However, possessing such terrifying strength after only a few decades in the Nascent Soul Realm was still too unbelievable.
The black-robed elder looked at Lu Qing on the light screen, feeling a sense of familiarity with his face, yet he was certain he had never seen him before.
Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly forget such a terrifying figure.
After pondering for a while, the black-robed elder suddenly had a thought and took out a portrait from his storage bag.
Unfolding the portrait, he looked at the man depicted, and his whole body trembled. He finally understood where that sense of familiarity came from.
The man on the light screen looked almost exactly like the portrait sent from headquarters a few years ago.
And according to headquarters, this man in the portrait was the one who had caused a great stir in the Guixu Secret Realm, even the Dao Child of the Black and White Temple, the peerless genius Mo Tu Shan, had fallen at his hands!
“It’s him!”
The black-robed elder’s heart surged with shock.
He knew all too well how much importance the headquarters placed on the young man in the portrait.
He never imagined that this was the mysterious figure who had stirred up such a storm in the Tianyuan Great World decades ago.
More importantly, decades ago, during the battle at Tian Shu Divine Mountain, this person was merely a Golden Core cultivator!
The black-robed elder knew that if this news reached headquarters, it would likely cause an even greater uproar.
And wasn’t it rumored that this person should still be in the Guixu Secret Realm? Why would he appear in the Tianyuan Great World now?
Thinking of this, the black-robed elder hurriedly asked, “Have you found out where this person went after leaving Tian Sheng Peak?”
“Not yet.” The figure shook his head. “With this person’s strength, as long as he doesn’t want to reveal his whereabouts, no one can detect him.”
The black-robed elder was somewhat disappointed, but he knew that this was something he couldn’t change.
The strength of this person in the light screen was such that even a Dao Integration Realm divine sense avatar couldn’t harm him; in the Great World, he was practically invincible.
Such an existence could easily conceal its whereabouts.
Not to mention the rumors that it was also skilled in transformation, making it even more impossible for anyone to find it.
Just then, another figure’s expression changed, as if receiving some information, its face showing both surprise and joy.
“What happened?”
The black-robed elder immediately noticed its abnormality.
“Palace Master, several of our members on the outskirts of the Demon Realm just reported in the Divine Soul Space that a mysterious powerhouse has appeared in the Demon Realm’s capital, and even their ‘Emperor’ cannot suppress him!”
The black-robed elder’s eyes lit up: “You mean…”
“That mysterious powerhouse is very likely this one!”
…
In the Demon Realm, still within that vast palace filled with demonic energy.
“Is your investigation accurate? Were the elders of the Human Holy Alliance truly all killed by a demon?”
On the tall throne, the powerful figure shrouded in demonic energy stared intently at the kneeling female succubus below.
The figures on the other thrones also showed similar expressions of surprise.
“Reporting to the Demon Lord, this is absolutely true. Many of our spies planted among the humans reported the same thing! Furthermore, several powerful demon kings appeared on Tian Sheng Peak that day, but they were also killed by that evil demon.”
The female succubus, despite feeling the increased pressure, calmly replied.
“Someone actually managed to storm Tian Sheng Peak and wreak havoc? Did Luo Yuantian not intervene?”
The figure shrouded in demonic energy still couldn’t believe it.
What surprised him even more was that the humans and demons had joined forces; this was not good news for the demons.
Fortunately, according to the succubus’s report, those demon kings seemed to have been killed as well.
But this only made him more curious about the identity of that evil demon.
“Demon Lord, according to our scouts, the Holy Alliance leader sent down a divine sense clone, but still couldn’t subdue that mysterious demon, allowing it to leave unscathed.”
The figure shrouded in demonic energy trembled again: “Even Luo Yuantian couldn’t do anything about it, could this so-called demon also be a divine sense clone of some Dao Integration Realm cultivator?”
“I don’t know about that, such beings are beyond our comprehension, but according to our scouts, several days ago, Heavenly Saint Peak was engulfed in bloodshed, the heavens and earth shook, and Heavenly Saint Peak was almost destroyed!” the female succubus replied.
“Such a major event has actually occurred among the human race…”
the figure shrouded in demonic energy exclaimed inwardly.
He had originally seen the Human Holy Alliance publicly announce its intention to execute more than a dozen minor Golden Core Realm cultivators, which seemed suspicious, hence the dispatch of scouts to investigate.
He never expected to uncover such a world-shaking event.
“Demon Lord, what should we do?” the female succubus asked.
The figure shrouded in demonic energy fell silent. The information the succubi had uncovered was so astonishing that, for a moment, he couldn’t discern whether it was true or false. After a
moment of silence, he raised his head and looked down at the other figures on the thrones below: “What do you all think we should do?”
The other figures exchanged glances, and countless whispers of divine souls rippled through the darkness.
Finally, a figure spoke up: “If the information is accurate, I think this is a golden opportunity for our demon race.”
“Indeed, if those Holy Alliance elders are truly dead, then this is the weakest moment for the human race. Even if they are resurrected, their strength will be greatly diminished, and they will find it difficult to fully recover in a short time!”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our demon race. If we miss it, we may never have another chance.”
“I also think we cannot let this opportunity slip by; we must at least test them.”
The other figures on the thrones also spoke up.
“It seems you all share my thoughts.”
The figure shrouded in demonic energy nodded in satisfaction.
“In that case, let’s make our move. It’s perfect timing; after so many years of peace, it’s time to test the human race’s strength.”
Hearing this, the other figures on the thrones all trembled with demonic energy, becoming excited.
As Demon Lords, they had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, their bloodlust was extremely strong.
In the past, they only controlled their nature and temporarily ceased hostilities because of the human race’s power.
Now that they’ve heard that the human race’s top combat strength has been greatly weakened, how can they possibly tolerate this any longer?
“Demon Lord Yuan Yi, I am willing to be the vanguard and test the mettle of the human race’s experts!”
At this moment, a figure stood up from the throne, bowed, and volunteered. The
figure shrouded in demonic energy smiled upon seeing this: “Demon Lord Ji Mie, since you have this intention, then I appoint you as the vanguard to investigate the strength of the human race. I hope you will not disappoint me.”
“Yes!” Demon Lord Ji Mie immediately replied solemnly.
“Demon Lord Yuan Yi, even if the elders of the human race are dead, if we launch a large-scale invasion, Luo Yuantian will certainly not stand idly by. How should we deal with it then?” At this moment, another figure on the throne asked with some worry.
“There is no need to worry about that,” said the figure shrouded in demonic energy. “I will report this matter to the ‘King.’ As long as the ‘King’ is willing to take action, Luo Yuantian is nothing to fear.”
“With the ‘King’ taking action, then there will naturally be no chance of failure!”
Hearing this, the other figures on the throne immediately showed joy and were relieved.
The power of the “King” was beyond question.
No matter how strong Luo Yuantian was, under the constraints of the Great World, he could only fight to a draw with a “King.”
With a “King” restraining them, the human race, having lost its top-tier combat power, was at their mercy!
Thinking of this, all the Demon Lords became even more excited, already somewhat impatient for the upcoming battle.
“By the way, have you found out the origin of that demon who killed so many human elders?”
At this moment, the figure shrouded in demonic energy asked the female succubus.
“Reporting to the Demon Lord, we cannot find out. After leaving Tian Sheng Peak, that person disappeared without a trace, and we have no way to investigate.”
The figure shrouded in demonic energy knew that such a powerful being could not possibly be one of their demon race.
It was more likely that he was an existence outside the Tian Yuan Great World.
There was even a very high possibility that he was a wandering Dao Integration Realm expert in the starry sky.
With the abilities of their spies, it was naturally impossible to track down the traces of such an existence.
They just didn’t know what the human and demon race had done to provoke him to commit such a massacre.
Who the other party was didn’t matter; all he needed to know was that this so-called “demon” was at odds with the human race.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In that case, if their demon race wiped out the human race, perhaps they could even forge a connection with this person.
For someone who might be at the Dao Integration Realm, the figure shrouded in demonic energy was extremely important.
If that were possible, it would undoubtedly be of considerable benefit to him.
Thinking of this, he began to look forward to what was to come.
…
Lu Qing was unaware of the undercurrents outside.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care too much.
With his current strength, he could suppress anything within the Great World.
Sitting atop the auspicious cloud, Lu Qing’s mind, aided by his supernatural abilities, continued to deduce and comprehend the [Purple Star Destiny Scripture].
He had already comprehended this wondrous technique to a very profound level.
He could even faintly sense a trace of extremely mysterious Daoist energy within the Sea of Laws.
However, whenever he tried to truly comprehend that Daoist essence, he always felt an emptiness, an intangible void.
It was as if it were merely a mirage, something to be admired from afar, impossible to touch.
Lu Qing knew that this aura was likely the very Daoist essence of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect that he had been searching for.
He wasn’t in a hurry; instead, he felt a surge of joy.
This meant he was on the right path.
As long as he continued to comprehend and deduce, one day he would truly capture that Daoist essence and touch the most mysterious Great Dao of Cause and Effect.
Time always flies when cultivating.
Lu Qing sat upright on the auspicious cloud, comprehending his cultivation technique, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Throughout the entire process, no demon dared to approach him from the high sky.
Soon, Lu Qing sensed a powerful aura suddenly appear.
He opened his eyes and saw the figure of the golden-eyed middle-aged man standing not far from him, looking at him with an uncertain expression.
“What, you want to attack me?” Lu Qing said calmly, “Unfortunately, you’ve already missed your best opportunity.”
The golden-eyed middle-aged man’s pupils contracted.
He had indeed felt an urge to attack Lu Qing while he was cultivating.
But the moment the thought arose, a chill ran through him.
Instinct told him that if he acted, things would likely be irreversible.
That’s why he forcibly suppressed his murderous intent.
Now it seemed that Lu Qing was indeed testing him.
If he had attacked just now, it would probably have caused a disaster.
“Fellow Daoist is joking. How could I possibly have such thoughts?”
The golden-eyed middle-aged man smiled and tossed over two storage bags.
“These are what you wanted. In the golden storage bag are 300,000 high-grade spirit stones and 100 top-grade spirit stones. In the other storage bag is an extra apology from that foolish Golden Lion, saying it’s to thank you for sparing his life.”
Lu Qing took the storage bags, probed them with his primordial spirit power, and began to examine them.
As for what the other party said, he remained noncommittal.
The demon kings no longer appearing was within his expectations.
After all, who wouldn’t want to stay far away from someone who could take their lives?
Lu Qing quickly finished counting.
The number of spirit stones in the golden storage bag was exactly as the golden-eyed middle-aged man had said.
The other storage bag also contained a considerable amount of spirit stones, including tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones and five top-grade spirit stones.
It seemed the Golden Lion King was sensible enough to offer an extra generous gift.
A satisfied expression appeared on Lu Qing’s face.
The number of spirit stones he had quoted this time was actually quite large, exceeding the amount Luo Yuantian had previously traded with him by over a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.
His purpose was naturally to see if the demon race could afford it.
Now it seemed that spirit stones were like water squeezed from cotton; there was always some left if you squeezed a little.
“Fellow Daoist, is the number correct?”
the golden-eyed middle-aged man asked, observing Lu Qing’s expression.
“Exactly what you promised. Since you are so trustworthy, I will naturally not be stingy either. The debt between you demons and me is now settled. Farewell, sir.”
Having obtained the spirit stones, Lu Qing saw no need to linger.
Overjoyed, he bowed to the golden-eyed middle-aged man, then activated his mental power. In the next instant, spatial fluctuations arose, and his figure vanished from the spot.
The golden-eyed middle-aged man’s expression immediately darkened. (End of Chapter)
