I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 865

Chapter 863 Gift of Treasure and Parting

Luo Yuantian finally understood why Lu Qing had suddenly become angry and ordered him to get down.

It turned out it was because of the Five Treasures Daoist and the others.

He immediately felt extremely annoyed.

He hadn’t expected that such a small oversight would provoke Lu Qing’s anger so much.

Too many things had happened in recent years, and he had been busy with the resurrection of the Holy Alliance elders.

After their resurrection, the elders all went into seclusion to recover their cultivation.

Later, the sudden arrival of the old demons like Mo Cangtian, who were stationed outside the Tianyuan Great World, kept his mind constantly on edge.

More importantly, as the leader of the Holy Alliance and a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm, he didn’t really care much about the Five Treasures Daoist and these lowly Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Moreover, subconsciously, he believed that these cultivators would inevitably follow Lu Qing in the future and probably wouldn’t stay in the Tianyuan Great World.

Therefore, he had forgotten about the matter.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuantian hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, this was my oversight!

Don’t worry, once I return, I will immediately announce it to the world to clear Fellow Daoist Wubao’s name.

At the same time, our Holy Alliance will give them sufficient compensation to make up for the grievances they have suffered over the years!”

“Remember, this is the last time I’m giving you a chance. Don’t think that just because I’m easy to talk to, you can keep challenging my bottom line. Or do you think I would mind killing a few more Dao Integration Realm cultivators?” “Lu Qing said calmly. Upon

hearing this, Luo Yuantian’s expression changed drastically. At the same time, the Xuan Tu Golden Dragon and Yuan Mo, who had been watching this scene from outside the world’s membrane, also felt their hearts pounding wildly.

Because they heard Lu Qing use the word “you.”

Clearly, he wasn’t just referring to Luo Yuantian, but also including them.

Understanding this, the two Dao Integration Realm experts knew they could no longer remain silent.

Immediately, their divine senses trembled, and they transmitted their voices in unison: “Your Excellency, rest assured, our two clans will absolutely not show the slightest disrespect to Daoist Wubao and the others in the future. Please rest assured, Your Excellency.” Xuan

Tu Jinlong and Yuan Mo made up their minds that after this incident, they would immediately issue a death order to their clan: no matter what, they must never offend the Five Treasures Daoist and the others again.

Lu Qing’s icy warning hung in the air, like an invisible mountain pressing down on the surrounding experts, making it hard for them to breathe.

Only after several breaths did that chilling pressure slightly subside, and Luo Yuantian’s heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled back into his chest.

He let out a long sigh of relief; his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and the dignity of a Dao Integration Realm expert was absolutely… Their fear vanished before the power of his strength, leaving only lingering dread and relief.

Lu Qing’s earlier words, “I’ll kill a few more Dao Integration Realm cultivators,” were no exaggeration. Throughout the entire Tianyuan Great World, no one understood the terror of this young man in blue robes better than they did.

After all, even the six senior Dao Integration Realm demons, including Mo Cangtian of the Black and White Temple, were casually killed by Lu Qing.

He, Xuan Tu Jinlong, and Yu Mao were merely at the initial Dao Integration Realm.

Before Lu Qing, they might not even be able to withstand a single finger.

“Fellow Daoist Lu Qing, I was indeed confused today. My negligence led to this grave mistake. Rest assured, I will immediately inform all the territories of the human race upon my return, thoroughly clearing the name of Daoist Wubao and the others. The framing of them will be investigated to the end, and none of those involved will escape justice.” “

Luo Yuantian said sincerely, “I will not be ambiguous about compensation. Natural treasures, cultivation techniques, secret realms, and special privileges of the Holy Alliance—whatever Five Treasures Daoist and the others ask for, our Holy Alliance will do its utmost to satisfy them as an apology.”

Lu Qing nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

These compensations were meaningless to him, but very useful to Five Treasures Daoist and Qin Zheng and the others.

Seeing that Lu Qing was no longer pursuing the matter, Luo Yuantian felt as if he had been granted a pardon and bowed again, “Then I will return to the Holy Alliance to handle all matters. I will not delay you, fellow Daoist, please rest assured.” “

As soon as he finished speaking, he dared not linger. With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of light and sped away, fearing that staying even a moment longer would anger this fiend.

Outside the world’s membrane, the Xuan Tu Golden Dragon and the Yuan Demon also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two bowed in the direction of Lu Qing, not even daring to show themselves, and immediately concealed all their auras, transforming into two streaks of light, one golden and one black, and disappeared into their own spatial caves.

Then, they sent their divine sense avatars to the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm. The first thing they would do upon returning was to strictly order their clan members that in the future, when they saw the Five Treasures Daoist…” “Yes, we must keep our distance and never provoke them.”

In an instant, the tense atmosphere of heaven and earth slowly dissipated, and the sky above the Tianyuan Great World finally returned to its usual calm.

Lu Qing turned around and looked at the Five Treasures Daoist beside him. The coldness in his eyes had completely faded, leaving only his usual peace.

Xiao Yan stood obediently beside Lu Qing, while Xiao Li remained on Lu Qing’s shoulder, not disturbing anyone.

The Five Treasures Daoist patted the dust off his Daoist robe, gave a wry smile, stepped forward, and said again with immense gratitude, “Thank you, fellow Daoist.”

Lu Qing turned around, his gaze falling on the Five Treasures Daoist, his tone softening slightly.

“Daoist Master, now that your grievances have been cleared, the Holy Alliance will compensate you. From now on, no one in the Tianyuan Great World will dare to bully you again. What are your plans now?”

The Five Treasures Daoist’s lips moved slightly, but in the end, he did not say where he was going.

Instead, he asked, “Fellow Daoist Lu, are you… leaving?” Lu Qing looked at him, making no attempt to hide anything: “

My affairs in the Tianyuan Great World are settled. Xiao Yan and Xiao Li have also successfully transcended their tribulations and forged their primordial spirits. It’s time for us to leave.”

Upon hearing this, the Five Treasures Daoist felt a sudden weight lift from his heart, an indescribable sadness instantly overwhelming him and permeating his entire being.

He had long anticipated this day, but when it truly arrived, he still felt an emptiness within, as if he had lost his most important pillar.

He desperately wanted to ask Lu Qing to take him with him, even if it meant becoming a servant to pour tea and water, even if it meant following him forever, he would be willing.

He was already weary of the deceit and intrigue of the Tianyuan Great World. This place, the homeland that had given him birth and nurtured him, was, to him… Words had long since become a place of sorrow.

The humiliation of the Heavenly Prison, the betrayal of his fellow disciples, and the misunderstandings of the world had long since extinguished any remaining attachment he had for this place.

Yet, the words he wanted to say were swallowed back down.

He knew his limits and was well aware of his own limitations.

Lu Qing’s identity and origins were shrouded in mystery; such a person must come from a supreme world beyond the stars, harboring earth-shattering secrets.

Lu Qing had never proactively mentioned his past, never revealed his true identity, clearly not wanting outsiders to know, much less follow him.

He was merely a lowly Golden Core cultivator, insignificant as dust before Lu Qing. If he rashly requested to follow, not only would he fail, but he would also annoy Lu Qing, extinguishing even the last vestige of goodwill.

The Five Treasures Daoist possessed this sense of propriety.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing his reluctance and sorrow, the Five Treasures Daoist slowly lowered his head, his tone tinged with melancholy yet unwavering: “Since you intend to leave, fellow Daoist, I will not try to persuade you

further. I plan to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion, focusing on my practice and detached from worldly affairs.

If I am fortunate enough to break through my current limitations and achieve the Nascent Soul Realm, I will leave this Tianyuan Great World to travel the endless starry sky, to see the world beyond, and thus make my life worthwhile.”

He didn’t express any lingering attachment or reluctance, but simply laid out his plans, yet the loneliness in his words was palpable to anyone.

Looking at the Taoist priest before him, who had endured countless hardships yet retained his true nature, Lu Qing felt a slight stirring in his heart. Although the Five Treasures Taoist’s cultivation was not high, he was pure of heart and valued loyalty and righteousness.

Since he was an old friend, and someone Lu Qing had personally saved, it was only right that he offer a gift now that they were parting.

Lu Qing raised his hand, a faint blue light emanating from his fingertips. As the light flowed, two objects slowly appeared.

One was an ancient scroll, inscribed with profound runes and radiating a Daoist aura—a mysterious cultivation technique, the *Hun Yuan Dao Jing*.

This was a technique he had obtained from the Holy Alliance’s cultivation hall, one of the most profound techniques there, capable of directly leading to the Dao.

The second was an exquisite pagoda, no more than three inches tall, yet adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, radiating auspicious energy—it appeared extremely delicate.

“Take this *Hun Yuan Dao Jing*. Cultivate it diligently; it will be enough to help you break through the barrier of the Nascent Soul Realm and reach a higher realm.”

“This exquisite pagoda suits you perfectly. It’s a mid-grade spiritual artifact, a protective charm that will ensure your safety wherever you travel.”

Lu Qing flicked his finger, and the scroll and pagoda floated slowly towards the Five Treasures Daoist.

“We part today. In the vast starry sky, if fate allows, we will meet again.”

The Five Treasures Daoist’s hands trembled as he accepted the cultivation technique and magic weapon, feeling the Daoist essence and immense power contained within them. His body trembled slightly.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, this is too precious.”

“Get up.” Lu Qing smiled. “These things are of no use to me. They’d only gather dust in my hands. You should cherish them in the future.”

The Five Treasures Daoist stood up, tightly clutching the cultivation technique and magic weapon. Looking at Lu Qing’s figure, though his heart was filled with reluctance, he knew that parting was imminent. He nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist Lu, take care on your journey!”

“Yes.” Lu

Qing nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and with a flick of his sleeve, he and Xiao Yan and Xiao Li transformed into a streak of azure light and vanished instantly.

When they reappeared, they were already in the underground cave.

The Five Treasures Taoist stood there, gazing at the spot where Lu Qing had disappeared, standing there for a long time until the spatial fluctuations subsided. Only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze, clutching the cultivation manual and magic treasures in his arms, and turned to head towards the distant deep mountains, where he would go into seclusion to cultivate, never again concerning himself with worldly strife.

…

Lu Qing, carrying Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, used spatial teleportation to return to his underground cave.

Although the underground cave was extremely far from the continent where the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect was located, for Lu Qing now, it was merely a matter of a thought away.

The underground cave, hidden ten thousand feet below the earth, was shrouded in supreme restrictions, making it difficult even for a Dao Integration Realm expert to enter.

Lu Qing stepped into the cave, his divine sense sweeping over the secluded cultivation areas of Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and the others.

Everyone was in deep seclusion, their auras steady, and their cultivation had all made considerable progress.

He raised his hand, and a divine sense spread out, enveloping the entire cave: “Everyone, wake up.” “

This divine thought, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, was soft yet irresistible, instantly entering everyone’s sea of consciousness.

Qin Zheng and the others, who were in seclusion, trembled and awoke from their meditation, opening their eyes and heading towards the center of the cave.

Qin Zheng, dressed in black, with a resolute face, had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm after years of seclusion, only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

Ye Qingzhu, dressed in a green dress, possessed a cool temperament, with a touch of gentleness in her eyes. Her cultivation had also progressed rapidly, reaching the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm.

As for Chu Xiaojing and the others, they had also made breakthroughs, clearly having digested much of what they had learned from watching Xiaoyan and the others undergo their tribulations.

“Fellow Daoist Lu.”

Upon seeing Lu Qing, everyone bowed respectfully, their tone unconsciously filled with awe and gratitude.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and slowly spoke: “I have awakened you today to inform you of two things.”

“First, the injustice done to the Five Treasures Daoist has been cleared.”

Luo Yuantian has promised that upon returning to the Holy Alliance,

he will announce to the world that he will clear the names of the Five Treasures Daoists and all of you of all the sins committed in the past. From now on, in the Tianyuan Great World, no one, whether from the Holy Alliance or any other force, will dare to show you the slightest disrespect. You can cultivate in this world with peace of mind, without any worries.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts were lifted, and

their faces showed excitement. Back then, they were betrayed by the Qiankun Sect Leader, captured and handed over to the Holy Alliance, accused of treason and colluding with evil spirits, imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and subjected to endless torture. This injustice had weighed on their hearts like a huge rock for many years. Now that it had finally been cleared, how could they not be excited?

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for clearing our names. We will never forget your great kindness!”

Qin Zheng led the way, and everyone bowed again, their voices strong and clear.

Lu Qing waved his hand and continued, “Secondly, my business in the Tianyuan Great World is settled. Xiao Yan and Xiao Li have also successfully transcended their tribulations and achieved the Yuan Shen Realm.” “

I am about to leave the Tianyuan Great World and head to the depths of the starry sky. The

reason I woke you today is to ask what your plans are for the future.”

His gaze fell on the crowd, and his tone was calm: “You were betrayed by the Qiankun Sect back then, but now your names have been cleared. If you wish to return to the Qiankun Sect, I can help you and ensure that the entire sect gives you an explanation.

If you do not wish to return, you may stay in the Tianyuan Great World. The Holy Alliance will not dare to make things difficult for you again. You can choose where you wish to go.” “

Return to the Qiankun Sect?

” Upon hearing this, the excitement on everyone’s faces vanished instantly, replaced by coldness and disappointment.

The Qiankun Sect was the sect they had cultivated in for many years, the place they once considered home.

But in the end, it was the sect leader they revered like a god who, to protect the sect and to curry favor with the Holy Alliance,

personally captured them, crippled part of their cultivation, and handed them over to the Holy Alliance to be disposed of, leaving them to fend for themselves in the Heavenly Prison.

Back then, Ye Qingzhu’s master, for opposing the sect leader’s decision to hand them over, was severely injured by the sect leader and a group of elders, forced to escape, and disappeared without a trace, his fate unknown.

This betrayal, this humiliation, was already etched into their bones, unforgettable for life.

How could they possibly return to the Qiankun Sect?

After a moment, Qin Zheng raised his head: “Fellow Daoist Lu, I have severed all ties with the Qiankun Sect and have no intention of returning.”

“That’s right!” Ye Qingzhu also spoke, a hint of hatred in her cold eyes, “A sect like this is better left unvisited!” Chu Xiaojing and the others nodded firmly, their voices resolute: “

We swear we will never return to the Qiankun Sect, we will leave the Qiankun Sect forever, and become independent cultivators, never to set foot in the Qiankun Sect again!”

Seeing the determination on their faces, Lu Qing nodded. Qin

Zheng and the others’ decision was not unexpected.

So, after nodding, he said, “In that case, I will give you this underground cave dwelling.”

“Give us this cave dwelling?” Qin Zheng and the others were taken aback. “

That’s right. I am about to leave the Tianyuan Great World, and this cave dwelling is useless to me. I might as well give it to you for cultivation.”

“But, Fellow Daoist Lu, this is too precious. We are unworthy to accept such a great gift.” “Qin Zheng said with some trepidation.

It wasn’t that he was pretending to refuse, but rather that he was very clear about just how precious this cave they were currently in seclusion was.

You must know that this underground cave was personally built by Lu Qing.

It was set up with many profound formations, layer upon layer of protection. It can be said that any one of the formations could easily kill a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

It was much stronger than the sect-protecting formations of the top sects outside.

The combination of many formations could even withstand a Dao Integration Realm expert.”

Such a cave dwelling was priceless; if the top sects knew of it, they would likely try every means to seize it.

Now, Lu Qing offered to give it to them, leaving Qin Zheng utterly apprehensive.

“It’s alright, just accept it. It’ll give you a place to stay in the future,” Lu Qing waved his hand dismissively.

Seeing Lu Qing’s resolute attitude, Qin Zheng could only sigh and bow gratefully in thanks.

“Then, we’ll accept it without hesitation.”
