I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 881

Chapter 879 Mysteries Abound, but a Chance of Survival Lies There

Lu Qing fell silent.

He hadn’t expected the reason for the disappearance of those Dao Transformation Immortals to be like this.

Corroded by the power of darkness, leaving a mark, and then forcibly pulled into the rift at a specific moment.

Such a method was simply inconceivable.

What lay beyond that rift?

Where did those Dao Transformation Immortals who were pulled in go? Were they alive or dead?

Countless questions surged in his mind.

However, he quickly thought of another question.

What Qiu Ruofeng said was only the reason for the disappearance of that group of Dao Transformation Immortals from ancient times.

But in the more distant past, where did those powerful human beings who won the great war against the Witch Clan go?

He had personally witnessed the records of that history in the Witch Clan’s trial secret realm.

At that time, the human race and the Witch Clan clashed, the two races fiercely fighting in this starry sky, and ultimately the human race won.

At that time, the human race must have had many incredibly powerful beings in charge, otherwise they could not have defeated the naturally strong and powerful Witch Clan.

But in this era, he seemed to have seen no records or legends about those powerful beings.

It was as if those ancient powerhouses, after defeating the Witch Clan, collectively vanished not long afterward.

This was abnormal.

The records left by the Holy Alliance of the Tianyuan Great World were also vague about that period of history.

He had discovered this problem when he first perused the Holy Alliance’s library.

The records of the ancient times in those records were extremely brief, as if deliberately erased, leaving only some vague legends and fragments.

What was going on?

Who, and for what purpose, wanted to erase that history?

Furthermore, where did the Dao Transformation Immortals who disappeared in the last hundreds of thousands of years after the ancient times go?

According to the Holy Alliance’s records, it wasn’t that no Dao Transformation Immortals had appeared in the last hundreds of thousands of years.

Every tens of thousands of years, there would always be exceptionally talented individuals who broke through that barrier and entered the Dao Transformation Realm.

Like that Dao Transformation Realm expert who ruled the Great Yuan Immortal Domain for a long time, who once dominated the starry sky and was a force to be reckoned with.

But all of these people eventually disappeared.

Were they also because of the Dark Abyss?

Lu Qing didn’t think so.

If the Dark Abyss truly possessed such terrifying power, capable of forcibly pulling Dao Transformation Immortals into it one by one, it shouldn’t have been hiding deep within the Chaotic Star Sea; it should have already devoured the entire starry sky, constantly expanding itself.

But the fact is, although the Dark Abyss is dangerous, it has always remained confined to that one area, never expanding.

This indicates that its power is limited.

Or rather, someone is restricting it.

And then there’s the seal.

The seal left by that unknown peerless expert.

Lu Qing recalled what Qiu Ruofeng had just said: an unknown peerless expert, with supreme divine power, sealed that rift.

If that’s true, then who is this expert?

Where did he go after sealing the rift?

To be able to seal such a rift spanning the starry sky, his strength must far surpass that of ordinary Dao Transformation Immortals.

Such an existence should have left behind some legends.

But neither the Holy Alliance’s records nor the records of other forces mention such an expert.

It was as if someone had been erased from history, even their name.

There were also Guixu Daoist and Potian Daoist.

Their disappearances should be unrelated to the Dark Abyss.

According to the old Azure Dragon and the others, Guixu Daoist disappeared after leaving behind the Guixu Secret Realm, along with a group of his disciples and numerous resources.

Potian Daoist, on the other hand, vanished before even breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm.

Their disappearances likely had other reasons.

Therefore, although Lu Qing learned the possible reasons for the disappearances of those ancient Dao Transformation Immortals from Qiu Ruofeng, his doubts remained unresolved; instead, he felt the mysteries deepened.

The disappearance of ancient powerful beings, the disappearance of ancient Dao Transformation Immortals, the mysterious expert who sealed the rift, the whereabouts of Guixu Daoist and Potian Daoist, and the true identity of the patriarch of the Black and White Temple…

these mysteries, each deeper and more distant than the last, seemed like layers of mist, shrouding the ancient and prehistoric history completely.

Lu Qing remained silent, not uttering these words.

He looked at Qiu Ruofeng. From the other’s tone and expression, he could sense that Qiu Ruofeng was probably not clear about the history of the great war between the human race and the witch race.

Or rather, the entire Netherworld Palace had no detailed records of it.

After all, the founder of the Netherworld Palace was an immortal from the ancient times.

And the ancient times were after the distant past.

As for the even more distant past, they probably didn’t know much more than the outside world.

Moreover, he didn’t want to expose his relationship with the witch race.

Lu Qing changed the subject.

“Fellow Daoist Qiu, how much do you know about the origins of the Black and White Temple?”

Hearing Lu Qing mention this, Qiu Ruofeng’s expression immediately became serious.

The black-robed figures also raised their heads, their faces showing fear, some even subconsciously clenching their fists.

Qiu Ruofeng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Speaking of the Black and White Temple, our Netherworld Palace has been paying close attention to it all these years.”

“Oh?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Qiu Ruofeng said, “Fellow Daoist should know that the opportunity for the rise of the Black and White Sect was after their ancestor returned from exploring the Dark Abyss.

Their ancestor, it is said, was just an unknown figure before entering the Abyss, with a cultivation level of only the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, insignificant in the starry sky at that time.”

He paused, then continued, “But after he came out of the Abyss, in just a few hundred years, he built such a massive force as the Black and White Sect.

This speed is simply unbelievable.

You must know that for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to build a force spanning several Immortal Realms, it would be impossible without tens of thousands of years of accumulation.”

“Then what did you discover?” Lu Qing asked.

Qiu Ruofeng sighed, “To be honest, we didn’t discover much.”

” The founder of the Black and White Sect was extremely secretive, rarely showing himself to outsiders.

We spent thousands of years and used countless spies, but we only managed to uncover some superficial information.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze grave. “Finally, we came to a conclusion: the founder of the Black and White Sect was very likely possessed by the power of the Demon Abyss.”

“Possessed?” Lu Qing frowned slightly.

Qiu Ruofeng nodded. “Yes, we collected some scattered information about that founder through some clandestine channels.

It is said that after returning from the Demon Abyss, his personality changed drastically, becoming completely different from before.

He no longer saw any of his former relatives and friends.

He never set foot in his original sect again.

There are even rumors that he personally killed his master who came to visit him.”

He paused, then continued, “Moreover, he rarely appeared in public, and even when he did, he was always shrouded in a black mist, never showing his true face.

Some say that beneath that black mist, there is no longer a human face. ” “

What’s even more suspicious is that he re-enters the Abyss of Demons every so often.

Each time he goes in, he stays for anywhere from decades to hundreds of years.

And every time he comes out, the Black and White Sect makes a big move, either expanding its influence, plundering resources, or capturing cultivators.”

Qiu Ruofeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “We suspect that he has always maintained some kind of connection with the Abyss of Demons.

In fact, he himself has become a part of the Abyss of Demons, a puppet of that dark power.” Lu

Qing remained silent, listening intently.

He recalled the mental tremor he had sensed earlier, and the black and white Taoist temple he had deduced.

That temple, capable of blocking his calculations, clearly possessed extraordinary power.

It was definitely not an ordinary magic weapon; at least an ordinary spiritual artifact would be unable to block his calculations.

If, as Qiu Ruofeng said, the founder of the Black and White Temple was possessed by the power of the Demon Abyss, then everything would make sense.

Since that dark power could corrupt an existence like Xuan Hua, it could naturally corrupt a mere Nascent Soul cultivator as well.

Qiu Ruofeng continued, “Since the rise of the Black and White Temple, their founder has rarely shown himself.

In the last tens of thousands of years, he hasn’t appeared at all, and no one knows the extent of his strength.”

“But based on our observations, we always feel that the Black and White Sect is brewing some huge conspiracy.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his eyes filled with deep worry.

“Their power has expanded too fast, abnormally fast.

Moreover, the resources they’ve plundered and the number of cultivators they’ve captured are enormous.

Where did all these resources and manpower go, and what were they used for?

We’ve investigated for a long time, but we haven’t found anything.”

“But one thing is certain: once that conspiracy is launched, it could shake the entire starry sky, and even the catastrophe predicted by our ancestor might be related to it.”

Lu Qing nodded.

These things matched his previous guesses.

The Black and White Sect sent so many Dao Integration Realm old demons to intercept him, even resorting to array diagrams, clearly determined to succeed.

Now it seems they’re probably not just after revenge, but have other plans.

Qiu Ruofeng looked at him solemnly and said, “That’s precisely why our Netherworld Palace secretly dislikes the Black and White Sect so much.

Although we keep to ourselves on the surface, we’ve been keeping a close eye on their every move. “

“But their strength is too great, and that patriarch is too mysterious, so we dare not act rashly.”

He paused, then added, “Fellow Daoist, the Black and White Temple is already powerful, and that abbot is even more mysterious and unpredictable. We don’t know what kind of supernatural abilities he possesses. Please be careful and do not risk fighting him.”

His gaze towards Lu Qing was full of sincerity.

“Fellow Daoist has now merged with the Dao through nine Great Daos, and his potential is limitless.

Every step forward in your cultivation will greatly increase your strength.

Perhaps this starry sky will need your help to save it in the future.

Therefore, you must not act impulsively because of personal grudges.”

Lu Qing smiled after hearing this.

“Fellow Daoist Qiu is too kind.” He said calmly, “I am merely at the initial stage of the Dao Merging Realm. How can I talk about saving the starry sky?

There are countless powerful beings in this starry sky, many of whom are stronger than me. Why should I take the lead? ” “

Qiu Ruofeng quickly said, “Fellow Daoist is too modest…”

Lu Qing waved his hand, interrupting him.

“However, I still want to thank Fellow Daoist Qiu for clearing up my doubts this time. What you told me has been very helpful to me.” He stood up, “Now that the transaction between the two parties is completed, it is time for me to take my leave.”

Qiu Ruofeng was slightly taken aback, then quickly stood up.

“Fellow Daoist is leaving already?” He was somewhat surprised, “Won’t you stay a few more days? This old man would like to ask Fellow Daoist some more questions about cultivation…”

Lu Qing shook his head: “No need, I have matters to attend to at home, so it is inconvenient for me to stay long.”

Seeing this, Qiu Ruofeng could not insist on keeping him, and could only say: “In that case, this old man will not keep Fellow Daoist any longer.

Thank you for your help this time. If there is anything that my Netherworld Palace needs in the future, please feel free to ask.

We will never refuse to help in any way we can.”

The black-robed figures rose and bowed to Lu Qing in farewell. Lu

Qing nodded without saying anything more.

He turned and took a step forward.

The next moment, spatial fluctuations arose, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Qiu Ruofeng and the others were shocked by this scene.

Although this was the outer edge of the Dark Abyss, the spatial laws were still extremely chaotic.

Ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivators would not dare to use spatial teleportation here, fearing that they might be accidentally swept into the spatial turbulence and perish.

But Lu Qing walked away so calmly and casually.

It was as if this chaotic space was nothing more than an ordinary place to him.

“Truly worthy of being… a cultivation anomaly who has integrated with the Dao through the Great Dao of Space.”

One of the black-robed figures murmured, his eyes filled with shock.

Another black-robed figure also sighed, “And he was only a divine sense avatar. If his true body had come, how powerful would he have been?” Upon hearing this

, everyone fell silent.

They couldn’t imagine it.

Qiu Ruofeng stared in the direction Lu Qing had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long while, a man in black robes couldn’t help but ask, “Elder, is this… truly the one prophesied?”

Qiu Ruofeng was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

“I’m not sure either.”

He sighed and continued, “The Ancestral Master’s prophecy was vague, only saying that there would be a glimmer of hope amidst the calamity.

But what exactly that glimmer of hope was, and who that person was, even he himself didn’t know.

He only said that that person was extraordinary, walking a path that no one had ever walked before.”

He looked at everyone, his gaze profound.

“But besides this person, I can’t think of any other figure who could handle that calamity.

To merge the nine Great Daos—unprecedented.

Isn’t this path precisely the path that no one has ever walked before?” Hearing this

, everyone nodded in agreement.

They all knew that Qiu Ruofeng was telling the truth.

The prophesied calamity, once it descended, would sweep across the entire starry sky.

Even cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm would likely be unable to protect themselves in the face of that calamity, like ants.

And Lu Qing, this extraordinary cultivator who had integrated the Dao with nine Great Daos, was the most promising candidate they had ever seen.

Although he was currently only at the initial stage of Dao Integration, his potential and strength had far exceeded their imagination.

The image of him annihilating countless monsters with a wave of his hand was still deeply etched in their minds.

Perhaps, he truly was that sliver of hope. Opportunity.

But Qiu Ruofeng didn’t say these words to Lu Qing’s face.

He harbored a secret: in the prophecy left by his ancestor, there was another sentence he hadn’t told Lu Qing.

That sentence was: “In the midst of calamity, even that sliver of hope will face a test of nine deaths and one life.

Whether one lives or dies depends entirely on one’s own destiny.”

He didn’t know if Lu Qing could pass that test.

He dared not speak.

Speaking might affect Lu Qing’s Dao heart, instilling fear in him.

Not speaking might catch Lu Qing off guard at a crucial moment.

Qiu Ruofeng stood in the main hall, gazing in the direction Lu Qing had disappeared, motionless for a long time.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing had already left the Dark Abyss.

He used spatial teleportation to traverse the starry sky at high speed.

The surrounding stars rushed past, turning into streaks of light, leaving him far behind.

But the direction he was heading was not his home world.

It was another place:

the Guixu Secret Realm.

He was going to see the Old Azure Dragon.

Qiu Ruofeng’s words had resolved some of his doubts, but also brought more mysteries.

These mysteries were deeper and more complex than the last.

He needed more information to connect them and see the truth behind them.

And the Old Azure Dragon, as an existence that had lived in the Guixu Secret Realm for countless millennia, had witnessed countless changes over the years.

It might know some secrets that even the Netherworld Palace did not know.

Lu Qing took a step forward, once again traversing the endless starry sky.

The coordinates of the Guixu Secret Realm were ahead.
