I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 884

Chapter 882 The Whereabouts of the Daoist Guixu

“A fluke?” The old Azure Dragon’s lips twitched, its voice trembling. “You call this a fluke?”

It took a deep breath, trying to calm itself.

But the shock in its dragon eyes was impossible to conceal.

It finally understood why Lu Qing, having only recently broken through, could exert such immense pressure on them with just a divine thought avatar.

To break through to the Dao Integration Realm by simultaneously fusing nine Great Daos with divine thought—this was something that had never happened since ancient times! Just

how powerful must such a being be?

The old Azure Dragon couldn’t imagine.

It only knew that although Lu Qing was only at the initial stage of the Dao Integration Realm, his true strength probably far surpassed that of them, the veteran Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

He might even be comparable to those legendary beings.

For example, their master, Guixu Daoist, in his youth.

No, even their master back then was far less powerful than Lu Qing.

The old Azure Dragon had followed its master since he was still in the Nascent Soul Realm.

But it deeply understood that even its master, at the Dao Integration Realm, didn’t possess the terrifying aura that Lu Qing possessed now.

After all, although their master was exceptionally talented, he only fused with one Great Dao.

His other Great Daos were slowly comprehended over countless years.

This process also took countless years.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, possessed nine Great Daos immediately after his breakthrough.

The difference between them was simply heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, the old Azure Dragon’s gaze towards Lu Qing was no longer just shock.

The black bull and the phoenix felt the same way.

They looked at Lu Qing as if he were a monster—

a monster beyond their comprehension.

After the initial shock, the old Azure Dragon and the others became excited.

Lu Qing’s achievements were completely beyond their expectations, something they had never imagined.

But this also gave Lu Qing a greater chance of helping them break the restrictions, and perhaps even leading them to find their master, the Daoist Guixu, someday.

Before the Daoist Guixu left, he had said that someone would come to take them out.

They had waited countless years, and finally, Lu Qing had arrived.

And Lu Qing’s growth rate far exceeded their expectations.

Perhaps, the day they had been waiting for would soon arrive.

The old Azure Dragon and the Phoenix exchanged a glance, a hint of anticipation flashing in their eyes.

Lu Qing waited until they calmed down slightly before explaining his purpose.

“Senior Old Azure Dragon, I’ve returned with something I’d like to ask you.”

The old Azure Dragon quickly replied, “Ah Qing, please ask whatever you need to know. We’ll tell you everything we know.”

The black bull and the Phoenix nodded repeatedly.

Lu Qing looked at them and slowly asked, “I want to know, how much do you know about the Dark Abyss?”

Upon hearing this, the old Azure Dragon and the Phoenix’s expressions changed slightly.

The old Azure Dragon’s smile froze, a hint of apprehension flashing in its dragon eyes.

The Phoenix’s gaze became serious, its feathers bristling slightly.

Even the usually carefree black bull’s smile faded, a serious expression appearing on its face.

“The Dark Abyss?” the old Azure Dragon said in a deep voice, “Ah Qing, why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Lu Qing didn’t hide anything and briefly recounted his experiences in the Dark Abyss.

From meeting Qiu Ruofeng, to entering the Dark Abyss, to encountering those demonic fire monsters, to finally entering that black tomb and seeing the corpse of the Xuanhua Grandmaster.

He didn’t go into too many details, only giving a general account of what happened.

But even so, the old Azure Dragon and the others were terrified.

“You mean, you entered the depths of the Dark Abyss and saw a corpse far beyond the Transformation Realm?” The old Azure Dragon’s voice changed.

Lu Qing nodded: “That person was named Xuanhua. He must have been an extremely powerful being in life. His corpse sat on a white jade throne, half of his body was corroded by darkness, and demonic energy was constantly surging out, giving birth to those monsters.”

The old Azure Dragon fell silent.

It lowered its head, seemingly pondering something.

After a long while, it raised its head, looked at Lu Qing, and sighed.

“Ah Qing, actually, we don’t know much about the Dark Abyss either.” The old Azure Dragon spoke slowly, its voice low, “Before the Guixu Secret Realm closed, the Dark Abyss was much more terrifying than it is now.”

It paused, as if recalling those distant past events.

“Back then, within tens of millions of miles of the Dark Abyss, almost no cultivator dared to approach.

The dark power permeating there was so dense it was almost tangible.

Even a Dao Transformation Immortal venturing deep within risked death.

As for the Dao Integration Realm? They wouldn’t even dare to get close; the demonic energy emanating from the outer perimeter alone was enough to erode their divine sense and pollute their Dao foundation.”

The old Azure Dragon shook his head, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

“In all my years, I’ve seen countless arrogant cultivators attempt to challenge the Abyss.

Some sought opportunities, some wanted to hone their skills, and some were simply curious.

But the vast majority of them never returned.

Occasionally, a few managed to escape, but they were all corrupted beyond recognition by the demonic energy, their minds clouded, driven mad, and died not long after.”

The black bull couldn’t help but interject, “Right, right, I remember one guy, what was his name again… Oh, the Cursed Old Man! That guy was a madman!”

The old Azure Dragon nodded, continuing, “That’s right, the Cursed Old Man, that…” “This fellow was an anomaly from ancient times.

Despite only being at the Dao Integration Realm, he acted recklessly, relying on the unpredictable and difficult nature of his curses.

He offended countless people, including many Dao Transformation Immortals.

But thanks to the strangeness of his curses, he always managed to evade capture.”

Mingfeng added, “I’ve also heard of this person. It’s said his curses are extremely strange, able to influence a person’s fortune invisibly, causing them to suffer misfortune without their knowledge.

Those who hunted him often inexplicably encountered various accidents, some even dying inexplicably.”

The old Azure Dragon continued, “But later, he finally met his match.”

He recklessly offended an extremely powerful Dao Transformation Immortal, whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary Dao Transformation Realm cultivators, rendering the curse’s influence negligible.

He was relentlessly pursued by this immortal, with nowhere to run, until finally, with no escape, he could only flee into the Dark Abyss. “

And then?” Lu Qing asked.

The old Azure Dragon shook his head: “And then there was nothing more.

After entering the Abyss, he completely vanished, never to be seen again.

Some say he died inside, some say he was corrupted by demonic energy and turned into a monster.

Others say he found some kind of opportunity inside, but no one can say for sure.

In any case, since then, no one has ever seen him again.”

Lu Qing seemed thoughtful.

He recalled the demonic fire monsters he encountered in the Dark Abyss, those beings formed from demonic energy.

If the Cursed Old Man truly died inside, would he have also become one of those monsters?

However, those demonic fire monsters were formed from the dark power within Xuan Hua’s body, so it didn’t seem quite right.

The old Azure Dragon continued, “Besides that, I haven’t heard of any other Dao Integration Realm cultivator daring to enter the Demon Abyss.

That place is a forbidden zone for us Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

Even now, with the Demon Abyss’s dark power weakened considerably, I wouldn’t easily go in.

Who knows what terrifying things might be inside?”

Mingfeng nodded, “The old Azure Dragon is right. Although we haven’t been inside, just from the rumors, we know it’s incredibly dangerous.” “

Ah Qing, you were able to go in and come out safely; that’s already quite remarkable.”

Lu Qing shook his head, “I only used my divine sense avatar to explore; my main body didn’t go in.”

The old Azure Dragon said, “That’s still impressive. Those demonic fire monsters you just mentioned—from the description, I know they’re difficult to deal with. You were able to lead those people all the way in; that strength, tsk tsk…”

It didn’t continue, but the amazement in its eyes was obvious.

Lu Qing didn’t dwell on this question but asked, “What about Senior Guixu Daoist? Did he ever enter the Demon Abyss back then?”

The old azure dragon was silent for a moment, then nodded. “

Master did indeed enter the Dark Abyss back then.”

It paused, then continued, “However, it was only his avatar that entered, not his true form, and he came out not long after he went in. As far as I remember, it was only a few days.”

“An avatar?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Yes.” The old azure dragon nodded. “Master was always cautious and never took risks easily. He sent an avatar into the Abyss to scout ahead, and even if something went wrong, the losses would be limited.”

It sighed and continued, “But after Master returned from the Abyss that time, he didn’t mention a word about what happened inside.

No matter how we asked, he wouldn’t say.

He only instructed his disciples not to approach the Abyss again, as it was extremely dangerous.”

The black bull muttered, “Back then, we were also wondering, Master is too cautious. With his strength, even if his true form went in, he should be fine, right? Why is he so nervous?”

Mingfeng glared at it: “Master’s decision naturally has its reasons, so keep quiet.” The black bull shrank its neck, not daring to utter another word .

The

old Azure Dragon continued: “However, although Master didn’t say it explicitly, I’ve followed him for many years, and I overheard him mention something by chance.”

Lu Qing’s spirits lifted, and he asked: “What was it?”

The old Azure Dragon’s gaze became distant, as if traversing endless time.

“That was a long, long time ago. That night, Master was drinking alone on the top of the Immortal Palace. We happened to have something to do and went to find him, and we heard him talking to himself from afar.”

It paused, seemingly recalling the scene.

“Master said that the Dark Abyss might become the origin of a catastrophe in the future, but unfortunately, with his abilities, he was powerless to solve this calamity.”

The old Azure Dragon looked at Lu Qing, its eyes filled with complex emotions.

“When I heard this, I was extremely shocked.

You must know that Master was one of the most powerful Dao Transformation Realm Immortals in the starry sky at that time.

He roamed the starry sky for hundreds of thousands of years, rarely encountering an opponent.”

In the entire starry sky, only a handful of people could stand on the same level as him.

If even he found the problem troublesome, how serious must it be?

Mingfeng chimed in, “Yes, we’ve followed our master for so many years, and we’ve never seen him speak in that tone before. That…helplessness, that powerlessness, we still remember it vividly.”

The black bull, unusually, didn’t interrupt, simply listening quietly.

The old Azure Dragon continued, “Now that you say there’s a corpse beyond the Dao Transformation Realm deep within the Demon Abyss, I finally understand why our master sighed like that back then.”

It looked at Lu Qing, its eyes filled with deep worry.

“An existence beyond the Dao Transformation Realm—that’s a height we can’t even imagine.

Such an existence, even if only a corpse remains, contains unimaginable power.”

“And that power is being eroded by darkness, constantly surging with demonic energy, giving birth to monsters…”

It didn’t continue, but the meaning was clear.

Lu Qing fell silent.

He recalled the strangeness he had felt in the Dark Abyss.

The Xuanhua corpse seemed to be suppressing something.

This gave him a feeling that what Guixu Daoist feared back then might not have been the Xuanhua corpse, but something even more terrifying.

After a moment of silence, Lu Qing asked, “Senior Old Azure Dragon, do you know why the Xuanhua powerhouse’s corpse appeared there?”

The Old Azure Dragon shook its head: “We don’t know any of that. We don’t even know where he died, let alone anything else.”

It paused, then added, “However, one thing is certain: that dark power is definitely not an ordinary thing. To be able to erode beings beyond the Transformation Realm, the source of that power is probably more terrifying than we imagine.” Lu

Qing nodded.

He had thought of that too.

He recalled the great battle he had witnessed in the shattered jade illusion—the black figure, the three blood-red figures, and Xuan Hua being besieged.

The power of the black figure was identical to the dark power in the Dark Abyss.

Could it be that the black figure was the source of this dark power?

Or was there an even more terrifying existence behind the black figure?

Lu Qing couldn’t find the answer.

He pondered for a moment, then finally asked the main purpose of his visit.

“Senior Azure Dragon, why did Senior Guixu Daoist disappear back then?”

Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon, the Black Bull, and the Phoenix fell silent.

They exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with complex emotions.

The Azure Dragon remained silent for a long time, so long that Lu Qing thought it wouldn’t answer.

But in the end, it sighed and slowly spoke.

“Ah Qing, this matter… is a long story.”

It paused, seemingly organizing its thoughts, then continued, “Before our master left, he told us he was going to a very far place, a place he might never return from.” Lu

Qing frowned slightly. “Didn’t he say what place it was?”

The old dragon shook its head. “No. He only said there was something he had to accomplish there. As for what that thing was, he didn’t tell us.”

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked, “Do you know if the place Senior Guixu Daoist went to is related to the Dark Abyss?”

The old Azure Dragon shook its head: “We don’t know either. Our master didn’t say, and we dare not ask.”

It paused, then added, “However, before our master left, he repeatedly instructed us to guard the Guixu Secret Realm and wait for the arrival of a destined person. He said that the destined person might be able to unravel some mysteries and even find him.”

Lu Qing’s heart stirred.

Guixu Daoist’s words were clearly implying something.

Could it be that he had already foreseen that someone would come here in the future to explore those secrets?

He looked at the old Azure Dragon and asked, “Senior, did Senior Guixu Daoist leave any clues about the place he went to, or about the Dark Abyss?”

The old Azure Dragon pondered for a moment, then said, “Our master did leave some things, but… you’ll have to see them yourself.”

It stood up and said to Lu Qing, “Come with me.”

Lu Qing did not hesitate and followed it into the depths of the Immortal Palace.

Black Bull and Phoenix followed behind. (End of Chapter)
