I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 889

Chapter 887 The Background and Consequences, The Pursuit of the Three Strange Beasts

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something else.

“Master, I have another question to ask,”

Guixu Daoist said. “Go ahead.”

Lu Qing said, “It’s about a force called the Black and White Temple. I’d like to ask you about it.”

“The Black and White Temple?” Guixu Daoist was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. “What kind of force is this? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this name when I left.”

Lu Qing explained, “It’s a relatively new force, rising to prominence over 100,000 years ago.

Their ancestor is said to have entered the Dark Abyss and brought out an opportunity from it.

In the short span of a few thousand years since then, they’ve built such a massive force as the Black and White Temple.

Today, the Black and White Temple’s influence is spread across multiple immortal realms, and their actions are erratic, seemingly brewing some kind of conspiracy.”

Then, Lu Qing recounted the situation of the Black and White Temple in detail.

From the old demons at the Dao Integration Realm sent by the Black and White Temple to intercept him back in the Tianyuan Great World, to the six old demons at the Dao Integration Realm lying in wait with array diagrams when he underwent his tribulation, to the recent tremor in his heart, which he deduced to find that the source was the Black and White Temple.

He also mentioned Qiu Ruofeng’s views on the Black and White Sect from the Netherworld Palace, as well as the prophecy.

Guixu Daoist listened, a look of surprise on his face.

“I didn’t expect such an evil force to have appeared outside in recent years,” he murmured, his illusory figure swaying slightly. “It rose more than ten thousand years ago, and its founder entered the Dark Abyss… This timing is quite interesting.”

Lu Qing asked, “Master, what do you think?”

Guixu Daoist shook his head: “I’ve been away for too long and don’t know much about the later forces in the starry sky.

I can’t say for sure about the foundation of this Black and White Sect.

However, one thing is certain: since its founder explored the Dark Abyss, we must be wary.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze grave: “Anything connected to the Dark Abyss is likely related to those evil creatures.

That place…” “It’s a passage that ordinary cultivators can enter.

Those who emerge alive either have a great stroke of luck, or… have been corrupted by that dark power.”

Lu Qing’s heart stirred, and he asked, “Master, is it possible that the founder of the Black and White Temple was possessed by an evil creature from the other world?”

Guixu Daoist was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “That possibility cannot be ruled out.”

He paused, then continued, “The remnant will of the Xuanhua Great Power tells me that even when he suppressed that world’s passage, he could only restrict those above the Dao Integration Realm from passing through.

Evil beings below the Dao Integration Realm, even if they wanted to infiltrate, would be instantly annihilated by the power he left behind, but…”

He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze profound.

“This doesn’t mean the other side is completely helpless.

It’s hard to guarantee they have no way to transmit certain wills.

After all, the powerhouses of that world are far more terrifying than we imagine.

They can invade so many worlds; they naturally have their methods.”

Lu Qing seemed thoughtful.

Guixu Daoist continued, “If that’s true, the Black and White Temple Patriarch you mentioned is very likely already controlled by that dark power, or even a puppet of that dark power, working for the other side.”

He sighed, then suddenly remembered something.

“Speaking of which, my so-called ‘confidant’ who committed heinous crimes back then was very likely also influenced by some will within the Dark Abyss.”

Lu Qing was taken aback: “What do you mean, Master?”

Guixu Daoist said, “When I first met that person, although he was arrogant and regarded lower beings as ants, he wasn’t that crazy.

Later, he refined beings from dozens of worlds in succession. The cruelty of his methods and the distortion of his mind completely changed him; he was no longer a normal Dao Transformation Immortal.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze thoughtful.

“Thinking back now, he was probably corrupted by the power of darkness during one of his travels.

And his eventual escape into the Dark Abyss was likely due to some kind of summoning.

Perhaps he’s in that other world right now, living among those evil creatures.”

Lu Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration upon hearing this.

“Master, when you left this world, were you heading to that other world to hunt down that demon?”

Gui Xu Dao Ren nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes.

“You guessed right.”

He sighed and continued, “Back then, because of my momentary compassion, I let that demon go, resulting in the refinement of billions of beings in dozens of life worlds.

I can’t escape this great karma and sin.

Unless I can personally kill him and completely annihilate his soul, my Dao heart will forever be burdened by inner demons and will never be perfected.”

“If my Dao heart cannot be perfected, I will never have the chance to reach the realm beyond the Transformation Dao in this lifetime.”

Gui Xu Dao Ren’s voice was heavy with emotion.

“Therefore, I must catch up with him and personally settle this karmic entanglement.”

Lu Qing nodded, indicating his understanding.

For cultivators, karma is of paramount importance.

Especially at the level of Guixu Daoist, the entanglements of karma are even more difficult to escape.

If this karmic entanglement is not settled, the Dao heart will always have a flaw, and cultivation will be difficult to advance further.

Guixu Daoist continued, “Of course, besides this reason, there is another reason.”

Lu Qing asked, “What reason?”

Guixu Daoist said, “The residual will of the Xuanhua Great Power tells me that his death was sudden, and his other comrades probably didn’t know his situation.

The existence of the Dark Abyss is ultimately a huge hidden danger to our home world.

If those comrades don’t know about the passage, and over time, he will no longer be able to suppress it, then the trouble will be immense.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his gaze solemn.

“So, he asked me to go to that world for the sake of the greater good and inform those powerful beings about the situation here.

At the same time, he also hoped that they could find a way to completely seal this passage and eliminate any future troubles.”

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked, “So Master has decided to go?”

Guixu Daoist nodded.

“From any perspective, I must go.”

He paused, then continued, “Originally, I intended to leave alone. After all, the journey is fraught with danger, and life and death are uncertain. I didn’t want my disciples to risk their lives with me, but…”

He gave a bitter smile.

“What I didn’t expect was that after those disciples learned I was leaving, they all vowed to follow me to the death.

They said that wherever Master goes, they will go.

Even if it’s a mountain of knives and a sea of fire ahead, they are willing to follow.

Rather than waiting here in vain, they’d rather go and risk it with Master.”

Guixu Daoist’s voice carried a mixture of emotion and helplessness.

“I tried to persuade them for a long time, but it was no use. Their minds were made up, and they refused to stay no matter what I said.”

He sighed and continued, “Moreover, I’ve also thought of another problem.”

“What problem?” Lu Qing asked.

Guixu Daoist said, “My disciples have a deep karmic connection with me.

If I am captured in another world and fall into enemy hands, they might use the art of karmic calculation to find my disciples.

If that happens, they won’t be safe even if they stay in this starry sky.

The enemy might find this place by following the karmic connection.”

“And I don’t have the supernatural power to sever karmic ties like those ancient sages.”

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

“Therefore, after much deliberation, I have made a difficult decision: I will leave only the three of you behind, and take everyone else with me.”

The old Azure Dragon was taken aback: “Why the three of us?”

Guixu Daoist said, “Because you are exotic beasts with special bloodlines and long lifespans.

You can live for a very long time until the arrival of that destined person.

Moreover, your karmic connection with me is shallower than that of others.

In addition, the Immortal Palace also has the ability to shield karmic connections.”

“Even if the enemy follows the cause and effect, the chances of finding you are much smaller.”

He paused, then continued, “As for the others… I’m taking them with me, firstly to fulfill their wish to follow me, and secondly to take them away from this starry sky, so they won’t be found by the enemy.”

The old Azure Dragon fell silent.

It finally understood why its master had only left the three of them behind and placed restrictions on them, forbidding them from leaving the Immortal Palace.

It wasn’t because he didn’t value them, but precisely because he valued them too much.

Hearing this, Lu Qing suddenly asked, “Master, did you leave through that world passage back then? Wouldn’t that mean you fell directly into the enemy’s lair?”

Guixu Daoist shook his head.

“The residual will of the Xuanhua Great Power told me that he would use his last bit of power to teleport me to a certain location in another world through that world passage.

That location is one he explored back then, relatively safe, and I wouldn’t directly appear in the enemy’s lair.”

He paused, then continued, “However, he also said that this was just his speculation, after all, he hadn’t fully explored that world.

Teleportation is risky, and accidents might happen.

He told me to be mentally prepared.” “

The Daoist Guixu smiled slightly, a hint of nonchalance in his smile.

“It seems his plan from back then succeeded.

At least for hundreds of thousands of years, the fact that this wisp of my will still exists proves that my true body hasn’t perished.

Although I don’t know where he is now or what he’s doing, at least he’s still alive.”

Hearing this, the old Azure Dragon’s eyes reddened again.

It finally understood why its master hadn’t returned.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to come back, but that he couldn’t.

Its master had lied to them, saying he was going to the Upper Realm, just so they wouldn’t worry.

The old Azure Dragon choked out, “Master…”

Daoist Guixu waved his hand, interrupting it.

“No need to say more. You’ve suffered all these years, but now, you’ve found Ah Qing, and my legacy has been inherited. I can finally rest easy.” “

After he finished speaking, he looked down at his hands.

Those hands had become even more ethereal, almost transparent.

The old Azure Dragon and the others tensed up at the sight.

“Master, you…”

Guixu Daoist smiled slightly, a hint of composure in his smile.

“Don’t worry, this wisp of my will has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, and was destined to dissipate.

To know that my lineage has a successor before it dissipates, to know that one of my disciples has become an unprecedented genius, I am already extremely gratified.”

He looked at Lu Qing, his eyes full of expectation.

“Child, you have merged with the Dao through the Nine Great Daos, your future is limitless.

But I still want to remind you, the path of cultivation is long, never be arrogant or complacent.

Remember, there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. Your achievements today may be unprecedented, but they may not be without successors.

Continue to work hard and keep moving forward.”

Lu Qing nodded solemnly: “Disciple will remember Master’s teachings.”

Guixu Daoist continued: “And that Black and White Temple, you must be careful.”

Since they are connected to the Dark Abyss, they are likely pawns of that dark power.

If you intend to deal with them, you must be fully prepared and not underestimate them.”

“Disciple understands.”

Guixu Daoist then looked at the old Azure Dragon and the others.

“Old Azure Dragon, Black Ox, Little Phoenix, you will follow Aqing from now on.

Although he is my disciple, you don’t need to address him as master.

You are free; follow him if you wish, or stay here if you don’t.

The Immortal Palace is your home, and always will be.”

The old Azure Dragon said with tears in his eyes, “Master, rest assured, we will follow Aqing. Wherever he goes, we will go.”

The Black Ox nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, we will follow him. He is so powerful; following him, we will surely see our master.”

Although Mingfeng did not speak, her phoenix eyes were full of determination.

Guixu Daoist nodded with satisfaction.

“Good, good, good.”

He said “good” three times, then his figure became fainter and fainter.

“Child, I will wait for the day you come to find me.” “

Having said that, his figure completely vanished, turning into specks of light and merging into the statue.

The hall was silent.

The old Azure Dragon and the others stared blankly at the statue, speechless for a long time.

Lu Qing also stood quietly, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

After a long while, the old Azure Dragon finally let out a long sigh.

“Master…is gone.”

The black bull wiped away its tears and said in a muffled voice, “Master said he’s still alive, that’s good, we can see him again in the future.”

Mingfeng nodded, remaining silent.

After they had calmed down a bit, Lu Qing asked, “Senior Old Azure Dragon, what are your plans now?”

The old Azure Dragon looked at him and said, “We are restricted by the Immortal Palace and cannot leave. Unless you refine the Immortal Palace, we can only stay here indefinitely.”

“Refine the Immortal Palace?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

The old Azure Dragon nodded: “This Immortal Palace itself is a magical treasure, personally crafted by Master.

It’s just that it’s too large; ordinary people simply cannot refine it.”

“But now that you’ve reached the Dao Integration Realm and possess the Great Dao of Space, you should be able to give it a try.”

It paused, then added, “Ah Qing, if you ever go to another world, you must take us with you. We want to find our master.”

The black bull nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, take us with you. Although we’re not as strong as you, we can still fight.”

The phoenix also said, “We are willing to follow you.”

Lu Qing looked at them, pondering.

He was about to deal with the Black and White Temple, a force unfathomable, backed by the power of darkness.

If he could have the assistance of these three Dao Integration Realm beasts, the old Azure Dragon and the others, it would indeed be a significant help.

Moreover, they had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, were experienced, and knew many secrets.

With them around, many things would be much easier.

Thinking this, he made his decision.

He raised his head and looked at the old Azure Dragon and the others.

“Alright, I will refine the Immortal Palace and take you all with me.”

The old Azure Dragon and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this.

Lu Qing didn’t speak again, but his thoughts stirred slightly.

Countless miles away, in his home world, his main body, who had been cultivating with closed eyes

, suddenly opened them. A glint of light flashed in those eyes.

The next moment, his figure had vanished from his spot.

With spatial teleportation, the endless starry sky rushed past beneath his feet.

A moment later, his figure appeared outside the Guixu Secret Realm.

He stood in the starry sky, looking at the massive Star River Array before him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Then, he took a step forward and disappeared into the array. (End of Chapter)
