I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1231 - 755: Breaking Through Again, Edge Revealed (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
The spatial labyrinth it had just occupied was a trial designed by the Old Cyan Dragon.
According to the Old Cyan Dragon, escaping the maze would signify that it had truly stepped onto the path of the Space Dao, granting it the right to inherit the profound secrets of the Azure Dragon Clan.
However, the Old Cyan Dragon had forcibly moved it out before it could solve the puzzle.
It couldn't help but wonder if its performance had been so lackluster that the trial was terminated early.
Little Li felt a wave of dejection, thinking that it had squandered a precious opportunity that Ah Qing had worked so hard to request.
“It isn't what you're thinking, dear Little Li. Your performance wasn't the issue; we simply have some questions for you, which is why we halted the trial,” the Old Cyan Dragon said, rushing to offer comfort upon seeing Little Li on the verge of tears.
“Indeed, we only wish to inquire about matters regarding Ah Qing. It’s not because you failed,” the Black Bull and Ming Feng added, feeling equally flustered.
Over the last few years, they had grown incredibly fond of the little creature.
Witnessing it about to cry, they immediately stepped in to soothe its feelings.
“About Ah Qing?” Hearing this, the moisture in Little Li’s eyes vanished. “Did something happen to Ah Qing?”
The three mutant beasts sighed in relief once the little one stopped crying.
It seemed mentioning Ah Qing was the right move.
“The situation is this: Ah Qing suddenly departed from Spirit Void Peak, left the Immortal Palace, and entered the Sword Dao trial channel. Do you have any idea what he plans to do?” the Old Cyan Dragon questioned.
“Ah Qing went to take on the trial again?”
Little Li had spent time watching the trial channels with the Old Cyan Dragon and the others over the years, so it possessed some understanding of the process.
After a moment of reflection, it guessed, “Ah Qing might be looking to settle scores with that Mo Tushan. That man attacked us several times before, and he carries an aura that Ah Qing finds truly repulsive.”
Just as they suspected!
Confirming their theory only made the three of them feel more anxious.
Due to their master’s ancient instructions, they were forbidden from interfering with the events inside the trial channels.
This meant that if Lu Qing encountered danger inside, they could only watch from the sidelines, unable to provide any assistance.
“How can Ah Qing be so impulsive?” The Old Cyan Dragon sighed. “At this point, we can only hope that Ah Qing’s talent is limited and that he won't make much progress in the Sword Dao channel.”
The Black Bull and Ming Feng nodded solemnly in agreement.
If Lu Qing remained stuck in the early stages of the Sword Dao channel, he would never catch up to Mo Tushan’s group.
In that case, a direct conflict would be avoided naturally.
“Ah Qing’s talent in the Sword Dao is actually incredible!” Little Li suddenly spoke up with total seriousness. “No Sword Dao secret technique can stand in his way!”
“What did you say, Little Li? Is Ah Qing’s Sword Dao talent truly that impressive?”
“Yes, it’s amazing!” Little Li nodded with conviction.
The hearts of the three beasts tightened again as they quickly shifted their gaze back to the light screen.
They were immediately stunned.
A pillar of light was currently descending upon Lu Qing.
They understood exactly what that signified.
It was the signal that he had successfully cleared the first stage and was being prepared for transport to the next level.
In the short window they had spent talking to Little Li, Lu Qing had already conquered the first stage and was moving to the second.
How could he be so fast?
Disbelief filled their eyes.
A premonition struck them; were they about to witness another legendary performance by Lu Qing, similar to his run in the Array Channel?
“I never expected this Sword Dao trial to be even simpler than the Array trial.”
Lu Qing mused to himself as his form materialized in the second stage of the Sword Dao channel.
The straightforward nature of the Sword Dao trial surprised him.
The requirement was simple: comprehend the Sword Intent from the Trial Sword Stone and replicate it, leaving a sufficiently deep mark on the stone to advance.
It was far less tedious than the Array trial channel, which required dismantling layer after layer of complex formation screens.
Of course, this was largely due to Lu Qing’s unique superpower.
The task of perceiving and simulating Sword Intent presented no challenge to him at all.
Combined with his deep existing knowledge of the Sword Dao, his clearing speed was even faster than it had been in the Array channel.
“As I thought, this Sword Dao trial channel also contains a complete set of Sword Dao inheritances.”
Observing the Sword Intent radiating from the Trial Sword Stone before him, which shared the same core essence as the previous stage, Lu Qing confirmed his theory.
He immediately activated his superpower to download the internal legacy.
Because he wanted to catch up to Mo Tushan and the others quickly, he didn't rely on his own cultivation insights this time; he used his superpower directly.
The superpower soon downloaded and simulated the inheritance from the Trial Sword Stone, and Lu Qing integrated the knowledge instantly.
Moments later, Lu Qing opened his eyes, formed a sword gesture with his fingers, and released a sharp burst of Sword Qi against the Trial Sword Stone.
Poof!
With a soft sound, a sword mark appeared on the stone.
It was exactly three inches deep, with perfect precision.
A beam of light descended, wrapping around Lu Qing and whisking him away to the third stage.
“He finished the second stage in only fifteen minutes?!”
Back in the Immortal Palace, the three observers gasped at the sight.
The speed at which Lu Qing was progressing through the Sword Dao trial surpassed even his previous record in the Array channel.
Could his aptitude for the Sword Dao be even more terrifying than his talent for Array Dao?
Though they struggled to believe it, they held their breath and watched the screen intently, unwilling to blink.
Swish!
Transported by the light, Lu Qing’s figure appeared within the third stage of the Sword Dao channel.
His arrival immediately caught the attention of the other cultivators present.
“There are actually people already in the third stage?”
Lu Qing was slightly caught off guard.
He hadn't encountered anyone in the first two stages, yet there were several people attempting this third level.
Each stage had a time limit, so if these cultivators were still here, they were likely those who had failed in other channels and were trying their luck with the Sword Dao.
“It’s that Five Tribulations brat!”
The number of cultivators in the third stage was small, and they were all shocked to see Lu Qing.
They remembered this Five Tribulations cultivator clearly, as he had been bold enough to insult Mo Tushan to his face.
Despite the passage of several years, they recognized him instantly.
Some widened their eyes in confusion. “Why is he in the Sword Dao channel now? Wasn't he in the Array channel?”
One Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator, who had failed the Array channel and come here instead, stared at Lu Qing with a racing heart.
He vividly recalled Lu Qing’s legendary performance in the Array channel.
Given that level of skill, he should have still been progressing there. Why would he show up here?
Had even he reached his limit and failed the later stages of the Array channel?
Lu Qing ignored their stares and walked straight toward the Trial Sword Stone to begin his comprehension.
However, his directness irritated some of the other experts.
One individual, remembering how Lu Qing had mocked Mo Tushan, felt a flash of malice in his eyes.
A hand glowing with mana reached out to grab Lu Qing’s shoulder.
“Kid, have you no manners? You don't know the meaning of first come, first served? A mere Five Tribulations cultivator dares to push ahead of us...”
“Scram!”
Before the man could finish his sentence, a blinding Sword Light erupted. With incredible speed, it slashed toward the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
A moment later, a blood-curdling scream filled the air.
The arm that had been glowing with mana fell heavily to the floor.
It didn't end there; the terrifying Sword Intent began to erode his body. The Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator felt as if thousands of needles of Sword Qi were shredding his Meridians, causing him to collapse and howl in agony.
This sudden, violent turn of events left every other cultivator in the third stage paralyzed with shock.
