I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 916

Chapter 914 Old friends meet again

The stone tablet activated, unleashing a strange power that instantly enveloped Lu Qing, carrying him through space and into the depths of the void.

The surrounding light receded rapidly, gradually distorting into streaks of light.

Lu Qing felt as if he had been thrown into an invisible river, flowing forward along a predetermined trajectory at an astonishing speed, far exceeding the limits of his own spatial teleportation.

Lu Qing silently sensed this strange power, attempting to analyze its essence.

His divine sense penetrated it, probing along the patterns of the power, only to find that the deeper he went, the more chaotic it became.

The power contained some kind of rule he couldn’t comprehend, seemingly originating from a higher level of cosmic laws.

With his current level of cultivation, he still couldn’t see through the essence of this power.

It was conceivable that the powerful witch who forged this stone tablet was at a level far higher than him.

However, Lu Qing wasn’t surprised.

After all, that powerful witch was capable of creating a secret realm.

Although his mastery of the Great Dao of Space was now quite profound, he was still far from being able to create a secret realm comparable to a small world.

The gap between the two was unimaginable.

The strange power emanating from the stone tablet carried Lu Qing through layers of void, rapidly heading towards a strange space hidden deep within the void.

Along the way, Lu Qing once again saw those void wonders he had seen before.

In the distance, a golden temple floated in the void, radiating a faint Buddhist light.

The outline of the temple was indistinct, with countless tiny runes flowing around it.

He could feel the sacred and solemn aura, but he couldn’t see the temple’s entirety, as if it were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Further away, an unnamed island floated alone in the void.

There seemed to be trees, buildings, and figures moving on the island.

But everything was blurry, as if seen through a veil.

And then there were those enigmatic creatures, their forms obscured, their enormous bodies slowly gliding through the void. Their shapes were neither fish nor dragon, radiating a ghostly blue light.

Their size was astonishing; Lu Qing couldn’t even see their entirety, only a small portion of their bodies.

He had seen these wonders on his last visit. Back

then, his cultivation was shallow, and he was simply awestruck.

Now, as a Dao Integration Realm expert, seeing them again still filled him with awe.

Moreover, he was increasingly certain that these wonders were not illusions, but real.

However, enveloped by a mysterious power, he still couldn’t explore or touch them.

That power held him firmly, guiding him only along a predetermined path, allowing no deviation.

“It seems the mysteries of the void’s depths are far greater than I imagined,”

Lu Qing thought to himself.

He was renowned throughout the starry sky, arguably the strongest in his home planet, but that was only because his Dao Transformation Realm cultivation was not yet fully developed.

On the path of cultivation, there were far more beings far beyond his imagination.

These wondrous sights hidden deep within the void each held unfathomable secrets.

Lu Qing withdrew his gaze, ceasing his contemplation.

He waited quietly, letting the power carry him forward.

Time lost its meaning in the void.

After an unknown amount of time, the stone tablet suddenly trembled, tearing through a spatial barrier.

A clear view opened up before him.

A familiar scene unfolded—the very same Witch Clan Trial Realm from before.

The stone tablet spun once, returning to Lu Qing’s hand.

He put it away; it could be used three times in total, and he had already used it twice, leaving only one chance.

“Hmm? This fluctuation… Lu Qing has returned?”

The mysterious being in the strange space sensed Lu Qing’s return the instant he stepped into the Trial Realm.

It immediately understood that Lu Qing had returned.

The Trial Realm was now hidden deep within the void, its location constantly shifting, making it impossible for even a Dao Transformation Realm expert to find it.

Only the stone tablet in Lu Qing’s hand could bring him back here.

“Has Lu Qing encountered some insurmountable danger again?”

the mysterious being wondered, its mind searching in the direction from which the fluctuations originated.

The next moment, it was greatly surprised.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing had just put away the stone tablet and released Xiao Yan and Xiao Li from the Li Huo Cauldron.

Xiao Yan immediately looked around curiously: “Brother, are we there yet?”

Xiao Li stood quietly to the side, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Just as Lu Qing was about to answer, he suddenly felt a spatial force sweep towards them.

The force was gentle and familiar; he understood it was the work of that senior, so he did not resist, allowing it to take them into that strange space.

The space shifted, the scene before him changed again, and he returned to that strange space once more.

“Indeed, it’s a divine sense avatar…”

the mysterious being’s voice rang out, filled with undisguised shock.

“Ah Qing, it’s been a while, and you’ve already reached the Dao Integration Realm!”

How long had it been since Lu Qing left the trial space?

Less than a hundred years, yet when he returned, he had already stepped into the Dao Integration Realm?

More importantly, this clone of Lu Qing gave Him a sense of unfathomable depth.

His divine sense swept over Lu Qing, but he found he couldn’t see through his true strength at all.

The power contained within that divine sense clone made even this ancient being, who had lived for countless millennia, feel a slight tremor in his heart.

The mysterious being felt utterly shocked.

His existence was incredibly long; he had witnessed the great war between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan, and seen countless astonishing geniuses.

Which of those peerless powerhouses who rose to prominence in ancient times wasn’t exceptionally talented?

But now, He felt that even those people paled in comparison to Lu Qing’s cultivation speed.

“I broke through by chance recently, please forgive my embarrassment, senior,” Lu Qing said modestly.

“You’re still the same,” the mysterious being said, somewhat speechless.

He had initially thought Lu Qing had encountered some danger and was forced to use the teleportation tablet to enter the secret realm for refuge.

Judging from his nonchalant demeanor, He must have misunderstood.

This young man probably came here specifically to see Him.

“Senior, I’ve come here to ask you something.”

Lu Qing didn’t beat around the bush; after a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

“Oh? What do you want to know?” The mysterious being’s heart stirred slightly.

“I wish to ask you, Senior, where did the Witch Clan go after their defeat? Are they still in this realm?”

The mysterious being hadn’t expected Lu Qing to ask about this.

He paused for a moment, seemingly weighing his options.

After a while, He slowly spoke: “Why did you suddenly ask about this?”

Lu Qing didn’t hide anything; he briefly recounted what had happened outside:

killing the deputy and master of the Black and White Temple, entering the Dark Abyss to see the remnant soul of the Xuanhua Great Power, learning of the impending collapse of the world passage, and his plan to seek help from another realm.

He emphasized the origins of the Dark Abyss and the urgency of the world passage opening completely in a hundred years.

After listening, the mysterious being fell silent again, the light in the strange space seeming to dim slightly.

After a long while, it sighed deeply.

“So that’s how it is… Is the Heavenly Demon Realm about to invade again?”

“Senior also knows about the Heavenly Demon Realm?” Lu Qing asked immediately.

“Of course.” The mysterious being’s voice deepened. “Speaking of which, I fought against them when they first invaded.”

It paused, seemingly recalling that distant past.

“That battle was quite fierce. The power of those monsters was completely different from that of cultivators in our world. Their dark power could restrain the laws of the Great Dao, greatly diminishing our strength.”

Lu Qing nodded, deeply understanding.

The mysterious being continued, “Didn’t you want to know where the one who created this secret realm went? I can tell you now. He left with your human race’s ancestors to stop the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Realm.”

“Is that so?” Lu Qing was surprised. “But the Witch Clan and the Human Clan aren’t…”

“That’s right, the Witch Clan and the Human Clan were indeed mortal enemies back then,” the mysterious being interrupted him. “But that being wasn’t like that. His vision transcended the conflict between the two races.

In his eyes, the Witch Clan and the Human Clan were both beings of this starry sky, all his subjects.

So when he saw the Heavenly Demon Realm invading, he resolutely stepped in to help the Human Clan slay all those invading monsters.”

Lu Qing fell silent.

He thought of the Xuanhua Great Power and those ancient sages, and the sacrifices they made to protect this starry sky.

Whether it was the Human Clan or the Witch Clan, when facing external enemies, there were still those who could put aside hatred and fight side by side.

“What about the remaining Witch Clan?” Lu Qing asked again.

“I’m not afraid to tell you,” the mysterious being’s voice carried a complex emotion. “After our Wu Clan’s defeat in the great war between the two races, the few surviving Ancestral Witches led the remaining members of our clan, aboard our Wu Clan’s supreme treasure, and following the memories passed down through their bloodlines, broke through the cosmic barrier to reach an unknown world.”

“Passed down memories?” Lu Qing was taken aback. “Senior, didn’t you say that your Wu Clan’s Ancestral Witches were born with the heavens and earth?”

“Indeed,” the mysterious being said. “But strangely, our clan’s bloodline inheritance contains a mysterious coordinate.

This coordinate memory can only be awakened after breaking through to the Ancestral Witch realm.

This was told to me by that great being after achieving Ancestral Witch status.”

“Such a thing?” Lu Qing’s heart skipped a beat.

Ancestral Witches born with the world, yet possessing a separate inherited memory in their bloodline, and one concerning a mysterious coordinate—this just didn’t seem right.

“You find it strange too, don’t you?” The mysterious being gave a bitter smile. “Actually, after that great being broke through to the Ancestral Witch realm, he began to doubt the true origins of our Witch Clan.

Were we truly born alongside this world? Or did we come from somewhere else?”

He paused, then continued, “Unfortunately, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches couldn’t explain where this memory inheritance came from.

And after they left with their people, they never returned.

So I don’t know where that mysterious coordinate leads.”

“Never returned…” Lu Qing murmured.

He suddenly remembered something, and a thought struck him. He asked, “Senior, in the outside world, more than 100,000 years ago, there was a powerful beast who called himself ‘Ancestral Dragon.’ I wonder if he has any connection with your Witch Clan?”

“What? Ancestral Dragon! Are you sure?”

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the mysterious being’s emotions suddenly fluctuated violently, and the light in the space flickered erratically.

“That’s right, it’s called Ancestral Dragon.” Lu Qing nodded. “Legend has it that it had nine sons and was once a renowned being in the starry sky. Unfortunately, it suddenly disappeared eighty or ninety thousand years ago and has never been seen since.”

Recently, Lu Qing accompanied Xiao Yan and the others on their travels through the starry sky, trying to find traces of the “Ancestral Dragon.”

However, they discovered that it had vanished from the starry sky long ago.

Even its nine sons had disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again; no one knew where they went.

“Could it be a surviving member of my Witch Clan? But that shouldn’t be…” The mysterious being’s voice was full of doubt. “‘Ancestral Dragon’ is the name of a fallen Ancestral Witch of my clan. No other clan member would dare to use this name!”

But to say that the Ancestral Witch “Ancestral Dragon” had been resurrected was also unbelievable.

After all, the other Ancestral Witches had confirmed that the “Ancestral Dragon” Ancestral Witch was truly annihilated, with no possibility of resurrection.

“Ah Qing, are you sure that beast called ‘Ancestral Dragon’ has really disappeared?” the mysterious being asked.

“It should be right,” Lu Qing said. “I searched extensively and even used divination techniques, but I couldn’t find any trace of it.

With my current divination skills, if it were still in this realm, even if it hid deeply, I should be able to find some clues.

But I found nothing. The most likely explanation is that it has already left this realm.”

“That’s a pity,” the mysterious being said with some regret.

Since it was no longer in this realm, it meant there was no way to verify some of its conjectures.

Lu Qing, however, had some vague guesses in his mind. He remembered that Suanni, one of the nine sons of the “Ancestral Dragon,” left a drop of true blood in its home world, which created the Dragon Turtle clan.

And after Xiao Li and Xiao Bai absorbed the two drops of true blood condensed by the Nascent Soul Realm Dragon Turtle, their cultivation of the Witch Clan’s technique, the [Nine Transformations of the True Dragon], was also exceptionally gifted.

There must be a significant connection between these things.

However, Lu Qing did not voice these guesses. These things could not be verified at the moment, and speaking of them would only add to the trouble.

He then said, “Senior, in a few years, I will be crossing that world passage to seek help from the ancient sages in another world. After that, I don’t know if I will have the chance to return, so I came here specifically to bid you farewell.”

The mysterious being was silent for a moment, and the light in the space seemed to soften.

“I never thought that the safety of the world would fall on the shoulders of such a young child as you.” His voice was tinged with emotion.

He remembered when Lu Qing first entered the secret realm, he was only at the Golden Core stage.

At that time, Lu Qing was just a junior with some potential in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, not many years had passed, and he had already reached the Dao Integration stage. Now, he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the entire world.

This change made Him sigh.

“Unfortunately, with your current level of strength, I can no longer offer you any help,” the mysterious being said regretfully.

“Not at all,” Lu Qing quickly replied, “Senior has already given me more than enough help back then. If not for that, I would not have achieved what I have today.”

“However, when you go to the other world, you might encounter that great being. You can ask him to bestow the second half of the [Eternal Heavenly Witch Body] to complete your cultivation.”

Lu Qing’s heart stirred.

He didn’t mention that he had already created his own cultivation method and forged his own path, but instead asked, “Senior, do you know the name of that senior?”

He still didn’t know how to address the great being who created this secret realm.

“That great being is named ‘Ji,’ remember it.”

“Ji…” Lu Qing murmured, firmly memorizing the name, then nodded, “I remember, thank you, senior.”

In the following days, Lu Qing and Xiao Yan stayed in the secret realm for a few days, accompanying the mysterious being.

For the past few days, they sat in that strange space, listening to the mysterious being recount tales of ancient times.

These included tales of the great war between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan, the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the story of the great being named “Ji.”

Xiao Yan listened with rapt attention, and Xiao Li listened quietly as well.

During these days, the mysterious being was deeply shocked to learn that Lu Qing had broken through to the Dao Integration Realm by simultaneously fusing nine Great Daos with his divine sense.

He confirmed it several times before daring to believe it was true.

“Nine Great Daos…” he murmured, “Such a terrifying genius could be born in this world.”

Even after Lu Qing and the others took their leave, his mind was still not completely at peace.

“Perhaps he really can find his master.”

Looking at the secret realm, now peaceful again, the mysterious being finally sighed softly.

The sigh echoed in the empty space, lingering for a long time. (End of Chapter)
