I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 892

Chapter 890 Settlement and Cultivation: Undercurrents Begin

With a flash of light, Lu Qing and the others appeared on the plaza outside the Immortal Palace.

The light from the teleportation array gradually faded, and their figures materialized on the plaza.

The old doctor was immediately stunned by the sight before him.

In the distance, a colossal Immortal Palace stood amidst the clouds, resplendent in gold and jade, its grandeur awe-inspiring.

The spiritual energy surrounding the palace was so dense it almost solidified, transforming into a wisp of spiritual mist that flowed slowly through the air.

Inhaling this mist brought a sense of comfort and refreshment.

“Is this the Guixu Secret Realm?” the old doctor murmured, his eyes filled with awe.

Compared to his home world, the spiritual energy here was hundreds of times denser.

Although his home world had recovered over the years and its spiritual energy had become much denser, it was still only sufficient for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

But compared to this Guixu Secret Realm, it was far, far inferior.

Here, even without deliberate cultivation, one could feel their cultivation slowly increasing simply by breathing.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Bai were also visibly shocked, staring blankly at the scene before them.

The imposing aura emanating from the distant celestial palace made them feel as insignificant as dust.

It was an indescribable sense of oppression, as if they were facing not a building, but a slumbering ancient behemoth.

Only Xiao Li remained unfazed.

It stood quietly on Lu Qing’s shoulder, gazing at the familiar scene before it, a hint of nostalgia flashing in its eyes.

Years ago, it had followed Lu Qing in cultivating in this secret realm, even becoming a disciple of the old Azure Dragon, learning the Dao of Space from him.

It was quite familiar with everything here.

“Truly worthy of being a secret realm created by a Dao Transformation Immortal,”

the old doctor couldn’t help but exclaim.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of divine power could create such a blessed land.

Lu Qing smiled slightly and said to the group, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet some of the seniors here.”

He led the group towards the celestial palace.

They crossed the plaza, climbed the steps, and entered the palace gates.

Lu Qing had already refined the celestial palace, so the restrictions naturally wouldn’t hinder them.

Along the way, the old doctor and Xiao Yan kept looking around at everything.

The exquisite carvings, the ancient runes, and the mysterious restrictions all amazed them.

They hadn’t gone far when a hearty laugh came from ahead.

“Ah Qing, you’ve arrived!”

The old Azure Dragon’s figure flew out from the depths of the Immortal Palace and landed in front of them.

Behind it, the black bull and the phoenix followed.

The old Azure Dragon’s gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on the old doctor.

It looked him over for a moment, then bowed slightly to show respect.

“This is your master?”

Lu Qing nodded and introduced, “This is my master, Chen Songqing. These are my younger sister Xiao Yan, and also Xiao Bai and Wu Xing.”

As for Xiao Li, there was no need for introduction; it had already stepped forward to greet the old Azure Dragon and the others.

Then Lu Qing introduced them to the old doctor: “Master, these three are seniors from the Guixu Secret Realm. This

is Senior Old Azure Dragon, proficient in the Dao of Space. This is Senior Mingfeng, skilled in the Dao of Ice.

This is Senior Wild Bull, who proved his Dao through strength and is incredibly powerful.”

The old doctor quickly bowed: “Junior Chen Songqing greets the three seniors.”

Old Azure Dragon quickly said: “No need for formalities. You are Qing’s master, we can treat each other as equals.”

The black Wild Bull loudly said: “Yes, yes, no need to be polite. Qing is so powerful, his master must be extraordinary as well.”

Although Mingfeng did not speak, she nodded slightly to show respect.

They were actually somewhat surprised.

They had originally thought that Lu Qing’s lineage must be quite powerful, otherwise how could they have cultivated such an unprecedented genius like him?

After all, when he first entered the Guixu Secret Realm, his foundation was terrifyingly solid. Such achievements could not have been cultivated by ordinary forces.

Unexpectedly, he actually came from a small world.

This further demonstrated the terrifying talent of Lu Qing in cultivation.

The old doctor was also somewhat surprised.

He had originally thought that these three senior beasts would be arrogant, but he hadn’t expected them to be so approachable.

His impression of these three seniors immediately improved.

Mingfeng’s gaze swept over everyone.

When it saw Xiaoyan, its eyes suddenly lit up.

As an ice-type beast, it could sense that Xiaoyan’s physique was very special.

It was a natural ice physique, pure and profound, resonating with its bloodline in some subtle way.

This physique was most suitable for cultivating its lineage’s inheritance.

Previously, when the old Azure Dragon took Xiaoli as a disciple, it and the black bull were quite envious.

The old Azure Dragon had a successor, but they hadn’t encountered a suitable seedling.

Now, it had finally encountered one as well.

However, although it was tempted, Mingfeng didn’t bring up these thoughts immediately. After all,

they had only just met, and it was too early to bring them up.

Moreover, Xiaoyan is Lu Qing’s younger sister and the old doctor’s junior; whether she’s willing to learn depends on her wishes.

Anyway, Xiaoyan and the others will likely be in the secret realm for quite some time, so it’s possible to slowly get to know them and cultivate a good relationship.

Mingfeng pondered this, her gaze towards Xiaoyan softening further.

The old Azure Dragon exchanged a few pleasantries and then said, “Aqing, you should take your master and sister to settle in first. There are many cave dwellings on the second level of the Immortal Palace; let them choose whichever they like and live there freely.”

Lu Qing nodded and led the old doctor and the others towards the second level of the Immortal Palace.

The second level of the Immortal Palace was a vast space.

The spiritual energy here was much denser than outside, and the air was filled with spiritual mist, like a fairyland.

Immortal mountains floated in mid-air, adorned with flowing clouds and waterfalls, resembling a fairyland.

On these immortal mountains were cave dwellings, each with its own independent restrictions and formations to isolate them from external interference, allowing cultivators to cultivate in peace.

“Master, what do you think of this cave dwelling?”

Lu Qing pointed to a cave dwelling on a certain immortal mountain and asked.

The cave dwelling was built against the mountain, with a bamboo forest in front of it, quiet and elegant.

The interior of the cave dwelling was very spacious, with a meditation room, a pill-making room, and a martial arts training ground, all very well arranged.

The old doctor looked it over and nodded in satisfaction: “This one will do.”

Xiao Yan chose a cave dwelling near a waterfall, as she liked to listen to the sound of water.

Xiao Li chose a place near the Old Azure Dragon’s cave dwelling, so it would be convenient to go and ask her master for guidance.

Xiao Bai and Wu Xing followed Xiao Yan and stayed in her cave dwelling.

After everything was arranged, Lu Qing instructed: “Master, please settle in here first.

If you need anything, you can ask the Old Azure Dragon and the others.

There are many legacies left by the Daoist Guixu in the Immortal Palace. If Master is interested, you can go and take a look.

Especially the sword dao legacies, which should be of great benefit to Master.”

The old doctor nodded: “Okay, go and do your work.”

Lu Qing then said to Xiao Yan: “You should cultivate diligently. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask Senior Mingfeng. It seems to be very interested in you.”

Xiao Yan nodded obediently.

Lu Qing said nothing more, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared in a mysterious space deep within the Immortal Palace.

It was a strange space.

There was no sky, no earth, only a hazy light all around.

The light was soft and warm, like the rising sun or the afterglow of dusk.

As soon as he entered this space, Lu Qing felt a sense of comfort.

This was because it was filled with incomparably pure spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy, like a tangible substance, flowed slowly through the space.

It was purer, deeper, and gentler than the spiritual energy in high-grade spirit stones.

Although it was still somewhat inferior to top-grade spirit stones, it was enough to surprise him.

After entering the space, Lu Qing’s body began to automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy seeped into his meridians through his pores, flowed into his dantian, and nourished every inch of his flesh and blood.

Instantly, he felt a wave of comfort wash over him, as if a parched riverbed had received sweet rain.

Since entering the Dao Integration Realm, his strength has undergone a transformation, and his demand for spiritual energy has also changed dramatically.

Even high-grade spirit stones are no longer of much use to his cultivation.

After absorbing the spiritual energy from a high-grade spirit stone, he can hardly feel any change.

Therefore, his physical body has been in a state of “thirst” for a while now.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to cultivate, but that he can’t find suitable cultivation resources.

Now, entering this mysterious space, the rich spiritual energy here is like drinking a glass of ice water when he’s thirsty.

This mysterious space is the core space of the Immortal Palace, the place where the spiritual energy of the entire Immortal Palace gathers, and it was also the cultivation space of Daoist Guixu back then.

A place that can provide cultivation for a Dao Transformation Immortal is naturally extraordinary.

Lu Qing sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and quietly felt everything around him.

He could sense that this space was closely connected to the entire Immortal Palace.

The Immortal Palace was rooted in the void, with countless roots extending out, constantly drawing various kinds of exotic energy from the endless void.

Some of these energies came from starlight, some from the fluctuations of the void, and some from spatial rifts.

They were diverse, varied, and chaotic.

But the Celestial Palace could transform this chaotic energy into pure spiritual essence.

This was precisely the ability of a Dao artifact.

When a magical treasure reaches the Dao artifact level, it possesses the ability to operate on its own.

It can autonomously draw energy from the void to maintain its operation.

And large Dao artifacts like the Celestial Palace can even transform the absorbed energy into spiritual essence for cultivators to use in their practice.

This is why even Dao Transformation Immortals desire to possess a Dao artifact.

With a Dao artifact, there is a continuous source of cultivation resources, and the possibility of further advancement.

Previously, the Celestial Palace was unattended and could only passively absorb energy, with only average conversion efficiency.

Although it could produce some spiritual essence, the quantity was limited and the speed was slow.

Now that Lu Qing had refined the Celestial Palace, under his mental guidance, the efficiency of the Celestial Palace in absorbing void energy had greatly increased.

The roots penetrated deeper into the void, greedily absorbing all kinds of energy.

The conversion speed was also many times faster than before.

“With the help of the Celestial Palace, my Dao Integration Body will probably reach the Lesser Completion stage in no time,”

Lu Qing thought with delight.

He had always been accustomed to rapid advancement in his cultivation.

From the moment he embarked on his cultivation journey, his progress far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Every breakthrough, every transformation, filled him with excitement and satisfaction.

However, since entering the Dao Integration Realm, his cultivation had almost stagnated.

He remained at the initial stage of Dao Integration, making almost no progress, which greatly displeased him.

Now, in the cultivation space of the Celestial Palace, he finally felt the sensation of cultivation improvement again.

Although the speed was much slower than before, it was indeed an improvement.

Lu Qing calmed his mind and began to cultivate.

He circulated his cultivation technique, guiding the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, flowing along his meridians, nourishing his Dao Integration Body.

The Dao Integration Body was a unique physique possessed by Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

It was a special physique formed by the fusion of divine sense and the Great Dao, which then nourished the physical body.

The strength of the Dao Integration Body directly affected a cultivator’s power and potential.

Lu Qing merged with the nine Great Daos, making his Dao-Merging Body inherently far stronger than ordinary Dao-Merging Realm cultivators.

However, precisely because of this, cultivating his Dao-Merging Body to the point of minor success, major success, or even perfection requires an immense amount of spiritual energy.

Now, this cultivation space in the Immortal Palace perfectly quenched his thirst for spiritual energy.

While cultivating, Lu Qing activated his special ability and began to deduce the subsequent techniques of the [Perfect Dao-Merging Method].

His unique physique, achieved through merging with the nine Great Daos, was unprecedented, rendering existing techniques insufficient for his cultivation; he could only deduce them slowly on his own.

Fortunately, his special ability allowed him to find his way forward, preventing him from stumbling around aimlessly.

While cultivating, Lu Qing also separated a portion of his mind to condense a divine sense clone.

At Lu Qing’s current level, multitasking was not difficult.

His divine sense was incredibly powerful, handling several matters simultaneously with ease.

The reason for creating the divine sense clone was naturally to investigate the Black and White Temple.

He hadn’t yet fully grasped the situation at the Black and White Temple.

That force was far more complex than he had imagined.

It was likely connected to the Dark Abyss,

and perhaps even to those ancient, evil creatures.

He needed more time and more information to make an accurate judgment.

His main body would remain in the Immortal Palace to cultivate, while his divine sense avatar could go out to investigate. He could manage

both without delay.

With a thought, Lu Qing conjured a figure from within him.

The figure was identical to him, only slightly weaker—it was his divine sense avatar.

The divine sense avatar nodded to the main body, then took a step and disappeared into space.

The next moment, he had left the Guixu Secret Realm and appeared in the starry sky.

The starry sky was vast and boundless.

The divine sense avatar hovered in the void, gazing into the distance.

With a slight thought, he took a step forward, using spatial teleportation, and his figure instantly vanished from his original spot.

The next moment, he appeared billions of miles away.

His destination was a branch altar of the Black and White Sect.

According to the intelligence he obtained from the Netherworld Palace, the Black and White Sect had multiple branch altars scattered throughout the starry sky.

These branch altars served as both outposts for the Black and White Sect’s expansion and as outposts for gathering resources and capturing cultivators.

He was going to investigate and see if he could find more clues. (End of Chapter)
