I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 886

Chapter 884 All the Reasons, the Causes and Effects of That Year

Chapter 884 Various Reasons

Although Daoist Guixu was deeply shocked back then, he was, after all, a Dao Transformation Immortal with an extraordinary state of mind, and quickly recovered.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging waves in his heart, and carefully examined the young man before him again. To

break through to the Dao Integration Realm by simultaneously fusing and embodying nine Great Daos with his divine sense.

Such an achievement, let alone in his era, as far as he knew, even in the more brilliant, star-studded, and powerful ancient era, no one had ever accomplished it.

More importantly, each Great Dao embodying and fusing with Lu Qing’s divine sense was extraordinary. Leaving

aside the five Great Daos of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, although the Five Elements Great Daos were common, each one possessed immense power, let alone cultivating all five simultaneously.

The combined power of the Five Elements was terrifying, even he dared not imagine.

And the other Great Daos, whether the Great Dao of Sword, the Great Dao of Power, or the Great Dao of Illusion, were equally powerful and unparalleled in their might.

Of these Great Daos, if a cultivator were fortunate enough to achieve Dao Integration through any one of them, they would be considered to have limitless potential and could dominate the Dao Integration realm.

But now, all these Great Daos were gathered within Lu Qing alone.

Even Guixu Daoist couldn’t imagine how Lu Qing had done it.

And…

the Great Dao of Space!

Guixu Daoist’s gaze narrowed slightly.

He could also sense the aura of the Great Dao of Space on Lu Qing!

That Great Dao of Space, which was said to have been unparalleled by anyone who could successfully fuse with it using divine sense.

He had also tried to comprehend the Dao of Space in the past, but the profoundness of that Great Dao far exceeded his imagination.

The Dao of Space involves the most fundamental mysteries of the universe, and it cannot be mastered simply by comprehension.

He had spent tens of thousands of years, reading countless books and visiting countless masters, but he had only touched a little bit of the surface and could not truly master it.

But this young man before him had not only mastered it, but also fused it with the other eight Great Daos.

The nine Great Daos coexisted harmoniously within him, without any conflict between them, but rather complementing each other, forming an indescribable and mysterious aura.

Guixu Daoist had lived a lifetime, witnessing countless brilliant geniuses and hearing countless unbelievable legends.

But he had never seen, nor heard of, anyone capable of achieving this.

He looked at Lu Qing, his eyes filled with complex emotions:

shock, admiration,感慨, and a deep sense of anticipation.

“Child,” he spoke slowly, his voice tinged with solemnity, “Your name is Lu Qing, right? Did Old Canglong and the others bring you here?”

Lu Qing nodded, cupping his hands in greeting: “Disciple Lu Qing greets Master.”

Guixu Daoist smiled slightly and waved his hand: “No need for formalities. Since you passed the test I left behind and became my last disciple, you are now a member of my Guixu lineage.

I just didn’t expect that Old Canglong and the others would be waiting for such a brilliant and extraordinary person.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Lu Qing again, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

“Nine Great Daos merging simultaneously… Such an achievement is truly unprecedented. Do you know what you have accomplished?”

Lu Qing shook his head: “This disciple is dull-witted, please enlighten me, Master.”

Guixu Daoist sighed.

“You have accomplished something countless people wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

The difficulty of merging with the Dao lies in the fusion of divine sense and the Great Dao.

The power of a single Great Dao is enough to put immense pressure on a cultivator’s primordial spirit.

When two Great Daos merge simultaneously, that pressure multiplies, enough to cause even the most talented to perish.

As for nine… that is simply impossible.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze profound.

“Back when I was at the ninth tribulation of the Primordial Spirit, I was also arrogant, wanting to forge a path never before trodden.

I spent thousands of years comprehending two Great Daos, believing I had grasped them to their fullest extent and could attempt to fuse them simultaneously.

But the instant I tried to fuse them, those two Great Daos clashed like fire and water, instantly unleashing terrifying power.

My divine sense was almost torn apart in that instant. If I hadn’t reacted quickly and abandoned the fusion in time, I would probably have been annihilated, body and soul.”

“From then on, I completely abandoned that idea.” Daoist Guixu shook his head, his tone tinged with emotion, “Because I knew it was impossible.

This is an ironclad rule of the cultivation world, a truth proven by countless cultivators with their blood and lives.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his eyes filled with astonishment.

“But you did it. You broke this ironclad rule, you accomplished something unprecedented. Your future achievements are beyond even my imagination.”

Lu Qing remained silent, simply listening quietly.

Guixu Daoist looked at him and suddenly asked, “Child, how old are you this year? I mean, how many years have passed since you started cultivating?”

Lu Qing thought for a moment and replied, “Reporting to Master, this disciple has been cultivating for approximately two hundred years.”

“Two hundred years?” Guixu Daoist was shocked. “Two hundred years, from a mortal to the Dao Integration Realm?”

Lu Qing nodded.

Guixu Daoist fell silent.

Even the old Azure Dragon and the others were utterly astonished upon hearing this.

This was the first time they had known Lu Qing’s cultivation time in such detail.

Two hundred years.

For a mortal, it might be a long time.

But for a cultivator, two or three hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

Many cultivators spend more than that in a single seclusion.

Those old monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years can take a nap that lasts longer than that.

And this young man before them had completed in just over two hundred years the path that others would take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to traverse.

From a mortal to the Dao Integration Realm.

And in the form of simultaneously integrating nine Great Daos.

This was beyond the explanation of mere genius.

Guixu Daoist took a deep breath, finally calming his mind.

“Good, good, good!” he said three times, a smile appearing on his face. “My Guixu lineage finally has a successor.”

He paused, then said, “Child, do you know why I left behind this Guixu Secret Realm and set up those eight trials back then?”

Lu Qing shook his head.

Guixu Daoist didn’t answer directly, but turned to look at the old Azure Dragon and the others.

“Old Azure Dragon, Black Ox, Little Phoenix,” he called softly, “Have you always wondered why I left you in the Guixu Secret Realm, making you endure hundreds of thousands of years of hardship?”

The three old Azure Dragons nodded repeatedly.

The old Azure Dragon said, “Master, this question has troubled us for countless years.

We’ve never understood why you left us behind.

You must know, hundreds of thousands of years ago, we were already Dao Integration Realm experts.

Compared to many of your personal disciples, our strength was no weaker.”

A hint of grievance flashed in its eyes as it spoke.

“Many of the junior brothers and sisters who were taken away back then were not as good as us. We wondered if we had done something wrong and angered our master.”

The black bull added, “Yes, yes, I still remember when our master left, he took everyone else from the Immortal Palace, leaving only the three of us. I wondered if we were too stupid and that our master didn’t want us anymore.”

Although Mingfeng didn’t speak, her phoenix eyes were full of grievance and confusion.

They didn’t feel that their master was biased, nor were they jealous of those fellow disciples who were taken away.

They simply couldn’t understand.

Why?

Why did their master leave them behind instead of taking them with him?

For hundreds of thousands of years, they had pondered this question countless times, guessing at the answer countless times.

They considered all sorts of possibilities, but never quite grasped the answer.

They had even wondered more than once if they had done something wrong, angered their master, and thus been abandoned.

This thought, like a thorn, had been embedded in their hearts for hundreds of thousands of years.

Whenever the night was still and quiet, whenever they were alone in this empty celestial palace, this thorn would throb with pain.

Looking at their aggrieved expressions, the Daoist Guixu felt a pang of heartache in his eyes.

He sighed and slowly spoke.

“You did nothing wrong. When I left, my intention was to take all my disciples with me, including the three of you.”

The old Azure Dragon paused, “Then why did Master…”

Daoist Guixu waved his hand and continued, “But before leaving, I suddenly felt uneasy.

As you know, I’m always cautious and never fight unprepared battles.

That time, leaving was uncertain, the future unknown, and I was truly at a loss.”

He paused, then continued, “So, I cast a divination for myself.”

The old Azure Dragon nodded.

It knew that its master was one of the most learned Daoist immortals in the starry sky back then.

He was versed in all sorts of miscellaneous disciplines, including formations, weapon crafting, alchemy, talismans, and restrictions.

Divination was naturally no exception.

Moreover, his divination skills were among the most powerful in the starry sky at that time.

Guixu Daoist paused, then continued, “I rarely use divination, because prying into the secrets of heaven is ultimately not a good thing. But that departure was of great importance, and I had no choice but to cast a divination.”

“Then… what was the result?” the old Azure Dragon asked nervously.

Guixu Daoist’s smile faded, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

“I expended immense effort, almost exhausting all my cultivation, to barely deduce a clue.

But even so, I still couldn’t clearly predict the path ahead.

Ahead lies a fog, and I can’t see anything clearly.”

He sighed and continued, “However, within that fog, I suddenly had a sudden inspiration and sensed a faint causal connection.

That causal connection is related to me, yet not entirely related to me.

It landed in my hometown hundreds of thousands of years later, connected to some unknown existence.”

“That causal connection concerns the life and death of my lineage.” Guixu Daoist looked at the old Azure Dragon and the others, his gaze profound, “and also concerns whether my legacy can continue.”

The old Azure Dragon and the others were dumbfounded.

They had never imagined that there was such a story behind their master’s departure.

Guixu Daoist continued, “After calculating this, I sat alone all night.

That night, I thought a lot.

I thought of you, of the disciples who had followed me for many years, and of the future of my lineage.”

“Finally, I made a decision.”

He looked at the old Azure Dragon and the others, his eyes filled with deep regret.

“I’ve decided to keep the three of you here.”

The old Azure Dragon and the others were stunned.

Guixu Daoist continued, “The reason I kept you here is not because you did anything wrong, nor because I don’t value you. On the contrary, it’s precisely because you are so important that I had no choice but to keep you.”

He sighed and explained, “Under my tutelage, the three of you are exceptionally gifted beasts with special bloodlines and long lifespans.

You were already at the Dao Integration Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago, and if nothing unexpected happens, you could live for another hundreds of thousands of years without any problem.

Only you have such long lifespans, able to endure hundreds of thousands of years of waiting for that cause and effect related to me.”

“As for the others…” He shook his head, “Their lifespans are limited; they can’t wait that long.”

Hearing their master’s explanation, the old Azure Dragon and the others gradually lost their grievances, replaced by an indescribable emotion.

So that’s how it is. Their

master didn’t abandon them; rather, he entrusted them with the most important task.

The old Azure Dragon’s eyes reddened again, this time not from grievance, but from gratitude.

It had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, experiencing countless storms, and thought its heart was already at peace.

But hearing its master’s words, it couldn’t help but tear up.

The black bull choked, unable to speak.

Mingfeng’s phoenix eyes also glistened with tears.

It always prided itself on its elegance and nobility, never losing its composure in front of others.

But at this moment, it too couldn’t control its emotions.

The grievances in their hearts finally dissipated.

Because they finally understood that their master hadn’t abandoned them, but had entrusted them with a very important task, one that concerned the survival of their lineage.

They had completed this task.

They had waited. They

had waited for this young man named Lu Qing.

Guixu Daoist looked at their appearance, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

He said softly, “You’ve suffered so much these past years.”

The old Azure Dragon quickly shook its head, its voice trembling, “Master, you flatter us! Serving you is our duty! We haven’t suffered!”

The black bull nodded repeatedly, tears still streaming down its face, “Yes, yes, yes! Not at all! Not at all!”

The Phoenix also spoke, its voice choked with emotion, “Master, rest assured, we’re doing very well here, we’ve never suffered anything, it’s just… we just miss you so much.”

Guixu Daoist looked at them and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he turned to look at Lu Qing.

“Child, do you understand now? The cause and effect I sensed back then fell upon you.”

Lu Qing didn’t speak, only looked at him quietly.

Guixu Daoist continued, “You entered the Dao Integration Realm with nine Great Daos. Such an achievement, let alone in my era, even in the ancient times, no one had ever accomplished such a feat.”

He paused, his voice tinged with solemnity.

“Your potential is beyond my comprehension. If even you cannot save my lineage, then I truly cannot imagine who could.”

Lu Qing remained silent for a moment, then asked, “Master, what exactly do you mean by ‘saving this lineage’? Where did you go back then? What did you encounter?”

Hearing this, the old Azure Dragon and the others also showed attentive expressions.

They too wanted to know where their master had gone back then.

Gui Xu Daoist was silent for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

“This matter is a long story…”
