I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 818

Chapter 817 Intrigue and Schemes, All Sides Converge

“That’s right, but according to that Nascent Soul Realm assassin, those formations are extremely terrifying and completely integrated with the earth. He dared not approach them at all.

Therefore, he doesn’t know what’s hidden within them.”

After explaining, the black-robed elder asked, “Elder, do you think it’s possible that person is hiding there?”

“It’s hard to say.” The white-haired elder pondered for a moment and said, “The Tianyuan Great World has a long history and many secrets. It’s not necessarily that person’s hiding place.”

As one of the most vast and ancient worlds in the Great Yuan Immortal Domain, the Tianyuan Great World has existed for an extremely long time.

Since ancient times, it has hung in the starry sky.

It contains many secrets, some of which are difficult even for a Dao Integration Realm cultivator to understand.

Not to mention, the Tian Shu Divine Mountain alone is extremely mysterious.

After arriving in the Tianyuan Great World, the white-haired elder had explored it, but even with his divine sense avatar, he couldn’t penetrate deep enough to truly glimpse its mysteries.

So, it’s normal for there to be some strange and hidden places.

“Elder, what should we do? Should we go investigate that land?” the black-robed elder asked.

“No need,” the white-haired elder immediately replied. “Regardless of whether it’s that person’s secluded cultivation place or not, it’s not suitable for us to continue investigating.”

If it really is Lu Qing’s secluded cultivation place, and their Netherworld Palace goes to investigate, it would be a loss if a misunderstanding arises.

The white-haired elder didn’t want to confront Lu Qing yet.

He thought for a moment and said, “Try to leak the information to Mo Cangtian. Be careful not to let him realize that we deliberately leaked the information.”

“Elder, with Mo Cangtian’s suspicious nature, it’s hard for us not to arouse his suspicion after we’ve passed on the information so many times,” the black-robed elder hesitated.

“It’s alright. It’s best if we can keep it from him, but it doesn’t matter if we can’t. Now he’s already in the game and has no way to retreat. Unless he can tolerate that person growing stronger, he will investigate even if there’s only a slight possibility.”

The white-haired elder didn’t think that his arrangements could really completely hide it from Mo Cangtian.

After all, his opponent was a powerhouse of equal strength, possessing a terrifyingly sharp mind.

However, he didn’t care whether Mo Cangtian could detect his actions.

From the moment the other party arrived in the Tianyuan Great World, he was already caught in the middle.

What he said next was merely going with the flow.

Even if Mo Cangtian knew his scheme, he couldn’t extricate himself.

Knowing Lu Qing’s terrifying potential, the Black and White Sect absolutely could not tolerate this formidable enemy growing up smoothly.

“Disciple understands.”

The black-robed elder’s mind jolted; he finally understood the Supreme Elder’s scheme.

After respectfully bowing, he withdrew.

“Could this be your hiding place?”

Watching the black-robed elder’s departing figure, the white-haired elder’s gaze was deep as he murmured to himself.

“Is what you said true?”

Half a month later, Mo Cangtian looked at the demon slave kneeling before him and asked with delight.

“Yes, Master, we discovered a vast array of formations deep underground in an ancient forest, covering an area of at least a thousand miles.

However, those formations are extremely terrifying; any ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator entering them would surely die.

But I am certain that those formations were all set up by humans,”

the demon servant reported respectfully.

“Since they are deep underground, how did you discover them?”

Mo Cangtian asked, narrowing his eyes.

“At the time, we were interrogating a Nascent Soul Realm assassin from the Netherworld Palace. As you know, the assassins from the Netherworld Palace are well-informed and might know some information about that demon.

Unexpectedly, during the interrogation, the assassin suddenly ignited his Nascent Soul, broke the seal, and escaped.

We pursued him relentlessly until, with nowhere left to run, he vanished into the earth.

We chased after him, only to see him crash into a formation and be instantly annihilated by its powerful energy.

That’s how we discovered the existence of those formations,”

the demon servant recounted the process of discovering the formations.

“You’ve messed with the Netherworld Palace?” Mo Cangtian’s expression shifted slightly.

“Master, did we do something wrong?” Mo Nu asked anxiously.

“It’s alright. The Netherworld Palace isn’t a big deal. It’s just the death of a Nascent Soul Realm assassin. Do you think they’d dare hold me accountable?” Mo Cangtian said nonchalantly.

Mo Cangtian knew the rules of the Netherworld Palace. Their assassins were responsible for their own lives. Except for direct descendants, they wouldn’t feel any pain even if many ordinary assassins died.

However, Mo Nu’s words made Mo Cangtian wary.

Although, according to Mo Nu, the assassin was forced into hiding underground under their pressure, which led them to discover the formations,

Mo Cangtian couldn’t help but suspect that the Netherworld Palace was secretly guiding them.

The Netherworld Palace had been operating in the Tianyuan Great World for a long time, and Mo Cangtian never thought his actions could be concealed from them.

He thought about the news his disciple had suddenly received about Lu Qing’s presence in the Tianyuan Great World,

and then about how Mo Nu discovered the formations.

Despite the lack of evidence, Mo Cangtian sensed something amiss.

“The Netherworld Palace, is it you manipulating things behind the scenes? What exactly are you trying to do?”

Mo Cangtian’s gaze was secretive, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

However, despite his suspicions, Mo Cangtian had no intention of giving up this opportunity.

Having finally discovered a hint resembling that kid, how could he not investigate?

Regardless of the Netherworld Palace’s schemes, that kid was undeniably a major threat to their Black and White Sect.

Even if there was only a sliver of possibility, he couldn’t let it pass.

With a thought, Mo Cangtian separated a wisp of his consciousness and entered the demon slave’s brow acupoint, taking control of his primordial spirit.

“Lead the way, go back to where those formations are located.”

“Yes, Master!”

Several demon slaves transformed into black light, soaring into the sky, and then used spatial teleportation to head in a certain direction.

The Tianyuan Great World was vast; even for a primordial spirit realm cultivator above the fifth tribulation, traveling there would take considerable time.

Several days later, several demon slaves arrived above a vast, primeval forest.

“Master, the formations we discovered are beneath this forest.”

“Good. Go down. Remember, conceal your presence and do not trigger the formations. Just get close.”

Mo Cangtian instructed the demon slaves through their spiritual cores.

“Understood.”

The demon slaves flew down, activating an earth-elemental magic weapon, and entered the earth.

The earth-elemental magic weapon emitted a yellow light, carrying the demon slaves deeper into the earth.

Finally, they stopped a thousand miles underground.

“Master, the formations are located ahead,” the demon slaves said respectfully.

“So deep underground?” Mo Cangtian was somewhat surprised.

Regardless of whether the one hiding in the formation was that kid or not, the existence of such a large number of powerful formations so deep underground was enough to indicate something unusual.

Mo Cangtian hid in the demon slave’s primordial spirit, extending a wisp of divine sense to quietly sense the power of the formations ahead, hoping to break them.

However, he was soon surprised to find

that these formations were incredibly profound, and even with his Dao Integration Realm cultivation, he couldn’t comprehend their mysteries for the time being.

But after he instructed the demon slave to change positions, he suddenly sensed one of the formation patterns and his heart skipped a beat.

“A formation pattern from the Guixu Secret Realm? There’s no mistake, this is definitely that kid’s hiding place!”

Sensing the appearance of that formation pattern, Mo Cangtian was suddenly overjoyed.

In the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Guixu Secret Realm had been opened three times.

Apart from the first time, disciples from the Black and White Sect had entered the secret realm on the latter two occasions.

Although all the disciples who entered the Demon Slaughter Mountain for the third time perished, failing to bring back any useful information,

the disciples who entered last time did bring back some information about the Guixu Secret Realm.

This included array patterns recorded by some disciples who had explored the array passages.

Mo Cangtian had naturally also studied those array patterns, and now, within the array before him, he saw some patterns almost identical to those in the Guixu Secret Realm.

“That kid obtained the inheritance of the Guixu Secret Realm; these array patterns must have been set up by him!”

Mo Cangtian was extremely excited.

After searching for so long, he had finally discovered the traces of his enemy; how could he not be excited?

However, after a moment of excitement, Mo Cangtian quickly calmed down.

Although he had discovered the kid’s hiding place, he knew that now was not the time to force his way in.

The array before him was extremely powerful; with the strength of these few demon slaves, they would probably be instantly annihilated upon even a touch.

Moreover, according to Luo Yuantian, that kid’s current strength was terrifying; he was practically invincible in the Tianyuan Great World.

Even if he could break through these formations, a mere divine sense clone would likely be insufficient to subdue his opponent.

“Let’s go back and discuss this further.”

After a moment’s thought, Mo Cangtian made his decision.

He immediately ordered several demon slaves to conceal their auras and avoid alerting anyone, quietly returning to the ground.

As the demon slaves transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, Mo Cangtian looked back at the earth beneath his feet, his eyes filled with ruthless intent.

“Boy, did you think that with the protection of the Heavenly Dao rules of this Great World, no one could harm you? I’ll show you what despair truly means!”

The next moment, the demon slave used spatial teleportation to vanish into the sky.

“Senior Brother Yu Jian, it’s been a long time! Senior Brother, you’ve indeed broken through.”

At the Potian Sword Sect, Qingxi looked at Yu Jian, whom she hadn’t seen for some years, her face beaming with joy.

“Junior Sister, you too, you’ve also entered the Ninth Tribulation Realm,” Yu Jian smiled.

Qingxi shook her head: “I’m still far behind you, Senior Brother. I’ve only just broken through, while you’re almost at the peak of the Ninth Tribulation, right?”

“I’ve only just achieved the Great Completion stage; I’m still far from the Perfection stage,” Yu Jian said.

“You’re already very impressive. It’s only been a short time, and you’ve already reached this level. Many of your sect’s Ninth Tribulation seniors are still not as good as you.”

“This is largely thanks to my gains in the Guixu Secret Realm; otherwise, I wouldn’t have made such progress,” Yu Jian sighed.

Qingxi also sighed: “Yes, if it weren’t for comprehending sword intent in that sword dao test passage, I wouldn’t have been able to step into the Ninth Tribulation so quickly.”

Back then, in the sword dao passage of the Guixu Secret Realm, both of them reached the eighth level.

Although they ultimately failed to pass, they benefited greatly, significantly deepening their accumulation in sword dao.

After returning to their respective sects, they began seclusion.

Finally, through comprehension, they broke through the obstacles and both stepped into the Ninth Tribulation.

However, when the Guixu Secret Realm was mentioned, both of them fell silent again.

After a while, Qingxi asked, “Senior Brother Yujian, what realm is that person you mentioned now?”

Although Qingxi didn’t name names, Yujian knew who she was referring to.

“I don’t know,” Yujian sighed. “That person is beyond reason. Although his realm was below ours back then, his strength was truly unfathomable, beyond our comprehension.”

“Yes, even now, we would probably be no match for him,” Qingxi sighed softly.

Although she had now entered the Ninth Tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, recalling Lu Qing’s god-like figure when he suppressed and killed Demon Tushan in the physical body passage, Qingxi

still felt a chill.

She knew that even though her strength had greatly improved, she was still insignificant in front of him.

Not to mention that he had now obtained the inheritance of the Returning Void Secret Realm; who could say for sure what level his strength had reached?

Thinking of Lu Qing, the two peerless geniuses from the top sects suddenly felt somewhat disheartened.

Even the joy of breaking through had faded considerably.

“By the way, Senior Brother Yu Jian, do you know why the Sword Master invited my master here this time?”

After a while, Qing Xi asked as if she remembered something.

“I don’t know either.” Yu Jian shook his head.

Actually, he was also a little puzzled.

Although the Kongming Sect and the Potian Sword Sect had a good relationship, it was no small matter for someone at the Dao Integration Realm to travel, and they rarely went directly to other sects.

But this time, the Sword Master had gone against the norm and invited that person to the Potian Sword Sect to discuss important matters, which was quite unusual.

Could it be that the other sects were up to something?

Yu Jian made many guesses, but none of them made sense, so he had to give up for the time being.

Fortunately, the Sword Master and Qing Xi’s master did not discuss matters for too long.

Not long after, the two came out of the council hall.

“Qing Xi, let’s go, I’ll take you out for a tour.”

Qing Xi’s master, the woman in white, said.

“Yu Jian, you should go with Senior Lin too,”

the Sword Master said at this moment.

“Me too?” Yu Jian was taken aback.

“Good. Remember, you must obey Senior Lin’s orders in everything and must not be disrespectful.”

“Yes, Sword Master.”

Although Yu Jian had countless questions in his mind, he could not disobey the Sword Master’s orders, so he respectfully agreed.

“Senior Brother Yu Jian is coming too?” Qing Xi asked happily, “Master, where are we going to travel?”

“The Tianyuan Great World.” (End of this chapter)
