I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1213 - 746: Master Acknowledgement Succeeded, the Secret of the Past

"A direct disciple of the Array Dao."
Lu Qing reflected on the words for a moment before adopting a look of deep respect.
"May I ask, venerable ones, what exactly a junior like myself would study upon becoming the disciple of such an exalted figure?"
"You have already cleared the trial of the array path; your natural talent for the Array Dao is without equal. It is only natural that you shall inherit the master’s array legacy," the Old Cyan Dragon explained, as if stating the obvious.
Lu Qing fell into a brief silence, his mind drifting back to the eight trial passageways he had seen outside.
He then asked, "Aside from the path of arrays, was that glorious being also exceptionally skilled in other paths of cultivation?"
"Certainly!"
This time, the response came from Ming Feng.
Its eyes radiated an intense, reverent light.
"The master was an unrivaled genius across the ages—a supreme powerhouse with universal mastery and expertise. Whether it be arrays, elixirs, talismans, artifact refining, or any of the hundred skills of cultivation, he reached the grandmaster realm in every single one. Furthermore, his personal cultivation had achieved the legendary Transformation Realm."
"During the ancient era, he stood at the very pinnacle of cultivation. Throughout the vast starry sky, while there were other great powers whose cultivation could rival the master's, none possessed a mind as profoundly learned or a talent as multifaceted as his!"
Though Ming Feng’s praise sounded like an exaggeration, neither the Black Bull nor the Old Cyan Dragon showed any sign of disagreement. On the contrary, their postures straightened with visible pride.
It was evident that their admiration and respect for the master described by Ming Feng were entirely genuine.
To be a master of everything and profound in all things...
Lu Qing was genuinely stunned by these words.
It was no wonder eight different testing passageways existed outside; the architect of this secret realm was indeed such an all-encompassing scholar. Truly, he deserved the title of a legendary Transformation Immortal!
However, this information only served to sharpen Lu Qing’s curiosity.
"Honorable seniors, if I am to become the direct disciple of that magnificent being, am I permitted to cultivate other techniques besides those of the Array Dao?"
"Other techniques?"
The Old Cyan Dragon and the others turned a peculiar gaze toward Lu Qing.
"Is that not permitted?" Lu Qing felt his heart skip a beat.
"It is not that," the Old Cyan Dragon said, shaking its head. "As the master's direct disciple, you are naturally allowed to study other techniques, but I would strongly advise against it."
"And why is that?" Lu Qing asked, his heart stirring as he wondered if there were hidden complications.
"The reason is simple: a jack of all trades is a master of none. While practicing multiple paths may seem grand, it frequently scatters one's focus, resulting in nothing more than a superficial understanding of each," Ming Feng replied.
"Young one, I see what you are thinking. Having heard of the master’s boundless knowledge, you have become inspired and wish to follow in his footsteps. But such a feat is impossible. My master possessed a vast and infinite wisdom that allowed him to master every path without exception."
"For anyone else to attempt to mimic his ease in mastering all paths—not even a Transformation Immortal could succeed in that. In the past, there was another direct disciple who tried to emulate the master by pursuing multiple paths."
"The result was a tragic waste of years. That disciple was eventually halted at the Nine Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit, unable to reach the Unity Realm Stage. He ultimately perished in his own cave mansion as his lifespan reached its end. That disciple was very dear to the master, causing him great distress and lamentation for a long time whenever the matter was raised."
"Indeed, young one," the Old Cyan Dragon added. "Your talent in the Array Dao is extraordinary, surpassing even the previous direct disciples who followed that path. If you devote yourself wholeheartedly to the array path, your future accomplishments will be beyond measure. There is no reason to divert your attention to other cultivation paths and forsake the fundamental for the trivial. The Array Dao is a path that leads to the heavens; at its peak, it too reaches the Transformation Realm."
"Furthermore, even if you wished to cultivate other techniques now, you would only be granted access to the most basic ones," the Black Bull declared in a booming voice.
"Following the death of that beloved disciple, the master sealed away the advanced techniques of every cultivation path. He decreed that any disciple wishing to study multiple paths must first pass the trials within the test passageways to enter the Inheritance Land and claim those legacies. Therefore, even we cannot violate the rules to give you access to other cultivation legacies."
Lu Qing remained silent as he listened to the counsel of the three mutant beasts.
He understood the logic behind their warnings perfectly well. However, he could not reveal the existence of his unique superpower.
As for attempting the other passageways, he knew that besides the talisman path, the others would be incredibly difficult to clear. After all, he was currently only at the Fourth Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit Realm. While his foundation was not inferior to anyone in the Primordial Spirit Realm, his raw strength was still not quite a match for the top-tier Primordial Spirits.
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Qing made his choice.
He gave a respectful bow to the three mutant beasts.
"I was being impetuous and failed to recognize my own limits. I thank the honorable seniors for enlightening me."
Without definitive proof of his abilities, it seemed that if he wanted to obtain other legacies, he would have to wait until his cultivation improved before braving the other passageways.
Seeing Lu Qing reach this realization, the three mutant beasts smiled. They had been concerned that Lu Qing might be the stubborn type who insisted on his own way—a common trait among arrogant geniuses. Now, it appeared this young man was quite open to advice.
Because of this, the three mutant beasts felt even more satisfied with Lu Qing.
