I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1242 - 761: Return to the Abyss Free Sword, Confession (2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Seeing the level of Sword Dao mastery Lu Qing had displayed, they began to doubt their ability to overtake him.
Even if they managed to succeed eventually, Lu Qing would likely have already snatched the opportunity.
Under these circumstances, they wondered if there was any value in continuing their efforts to achieve a breakthrough.
After a brief silence, Yu Jian finally spoke, "We should proceed. This serves as excellent tempering for our own Sword Dao, regardless of the outcome. If we can grasp the full Sword Intent here, it will be a major harvest even if we gain nothing else from the Immortal Palace."
"I will follow your lead, senior brother," Qing Xi replied.
While Yu Jian and Qing Xi resumed their meditation on the Sword Intent.
Lu Qing, on the other side, was already finishing his comprehension of the eighth level's Sword Intent.
A short while later, his eyes snapped open as he unleashed a sharp Sword Qi.
As the blade left its mark, a pillar of light swept him away to the ninth level.
The Sword Intent of this final stage was significantly more complex and cryptic than the previous eight, yet it posed no true obstacle for Lu Qing.
Within an hour, the ninth level's Sword Intent was entirely mastered.
"Fantastic. This Primordial Spirit volume of the [Gui Xu Free Sword] is truly remarkable. The Sword Intent it produces is easily on par with the [Sky-breaking Sword Qi]."
Lu Qing opened his eyes, a look of satisfaction on his face.
By fully understanding all nine levels of the Sword Dao Channel, he had secured a powerful Sword Dao inheritance suitable for the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Once he had the time to verify and merge this new knowledge with his existing Sword Dao Techniques.
His overall Sword Dao cultivation would undoubtedly reach a transformative new peak.
He struck out with a Sword Qi, carving a mark upon the Trial Sword Stone.
A beam of light descended, wrapping around Lu Qing's form.
Deep within the Immortal Palace, Elder Azure Dragon had been waiting expectantly; he quickly performed a series of hand seals.
When Lu Qing’s vision cleared, he found himself being stared at by three pairs of massive, intense eyes.
Taken aback, Lu Qing quickly realized the situation.
He cupped his hands in a respectful salute, "Greetings, elders."
"Ah Qing!" Little Li cried out, throwing herself into his arms while sending a mental message: "Grandpa Azure Dragon and the others watched everything you did in the trial channel."
Lu Qing finally understood the reason for their intense scrutiny.
However, it didn't shock him much.
It would be more surprising if Unity Realm experts lacked the means to observe such events.
Furthermore, Elder Azure Dragon held authority over the spatial laws of the entire Immortal Palace.
"If the elders have questions, please feel free to ask," Lu Qing said, taking the initiative.
The three elders were surprised by Lu Qing’s composed demeanor.
After reflecting for a moment, Elder Azure Dragon spoke up.
"Ah Qing, we don't mean to doubt you, but there are certain things that require clarification."
"I understand, elders."
"That True Witch Body you manifested earlier—it clearly belongs to the Ancient Witch Clan. How is it possible for a member of the Human Race to utilize the secret inheritance techniques of the Witch Clan?"
Lu Qing was momentarily startled; he hadn't expected them to identify the True Witch Body's origins so instantly.
But considering these were ancient figures who had lived for ages, it made sense.
He weighed his words before replying, "To be honest, elders, I once stumbled into a secret realm left behind by a powerful figure of the Ancient Witch Clan.
I obtained the Witch Clan inheritance within that realm.
Using a blood pool left by them, I successfully forged the Witch Body."
"You managed to refine a Witch Body while still retaining your Human Race bloodline?" Elder Azure Dragon asked, his voice filled with shock.
"The specific inheritance I found is quite unique. It was designed by a great power of the Witch Clan to allow the practitioner to keep their original bloodline intact."
"A custom Witch Clan technique capable of preserving one's bloodline... could it be..."
Elder Azure Dragon’s heart raced at the thought, and he traded uncertain looks with Black Bull and Ming Feng.
They all remembered an ancient legend that had persisted through the eons.
Was it possible that Ah Qing had inherited the legacy of *that* person?
If so, everything would be explained.
"Is something wrong, elder?" Lu Qing inquired.
"Uh, it is nothing." Elder Azure Dragon composed himself with a fake cough, "I simply didn't realize such a miraculous Witch Clan inheritance existed. You are truly favored by fortune, Ah Qing. Do you happen to know the name of the great power who left it?"
"I do not," Lu Qing said with a shake of his head. "The inheritance did not mention the name of that Witch Clan expert."
Lu Qing was being truthful; he did not know the identity of the supreme being who created the [Undying Heavenly Witch Body].
Even the guardian of the Witch Clan's trial realm had never disclosed a name.
However, based on the expressions of Elder Azure Dragon and the others, he guessed they had a suspicion.
"That is a shame."
Elder Azure Dragon sighed, feeling a sense of relief.
The fact that Lu Qing was being transparent was a good sign for them.
"One more thing, Ah Qing. Aside from your skills in the Array Dao and Sword Dao, what other fields do you excel in?"
Now more relaxed, Elder Azure Dragon continued his questioning.
Black Bull and Ming Feng also watched Lu Qing with burning curiosity.
His performance in the Sword Dao Channel had been nothing short of breathtaking.
His speed in breaking through the levels was even more shocking than his run through the Array Channel.
They couldn't help but wonder if Lu Qing was hiding even more talents.
"Well..." Lu Qing thought for a moment before saying, "In my daily Cultivation, I have dabbled in many areas. If I had to pick something I am proficient in, it would be the Path of the Body."
"The Path of the Body..."
They instantly recalled Lu Qing growing into a titan and crushing Mo Tushan with a single strike.
They felt Lu Qing was being far too humble.
He wasn't just "proficient"—he was a monster!
Even in the ancient eras, Elder Azure Dragon and the others had never heard of a human reaching such heights with a Witch Clan inheritance.
They were certain that with his current physical strength, clearing the Path of the Body channel would be a trivial task for him.
Furthermore, they suspected Lu Qing was still holding back.
During his fight with Mo Tushan, it was clear that his Mana and Primordial Spirit Power were also incredibly potent.
Without that foundation, his Sword Qi and Illusion Techniques could never have been so devastating.
Thinking of this, the three elders felt a shiver of excitement.
They looked at Lu Qing as if he were the rarest treasure in existence.
Array Dao, Sword Dao, Path of the Body, Mana, and Primordial Spirit—he was unnaturally strong in every category, defying all logic and surpassing any cultivator of his level.
Such a monstrous genius was unheard of even during the ancient era of the stars.
And now, this youth had become their master's direct disciple.
The three of them were so thrilled they nearly reverted to their true forms to let out a triumphant roar.
Only their Unity Realm self-control allowed them to suppress the urge.
"By the way, Elder Azure Dragon, since I have cleared the ninth level of the Sword Dao Channel, am I permitted to enter the Sword Dao Inheritance Land?" Lu Qing asked.
Lu Qing was very interested in the [Gui Xu Free Sword] left behind by the Gui Xu Taoist.
The Primordial Spirit volume alone was far more profound than the [Sky-breaking Sword Qi].
Securing the full inheritance would be a massive boon for his future path.
"Of course," Elder Azure Dragon nodded. "Per the master's decrees, anyone who passes the trials he established is entitled to enter the Inheritance Land."
Elder Azure Dragon remembered how Lu Qing had asked about cultivating multiple paths when he first arrived.
At the time, they thought he was being arrogant. Now, they realized they were the ones who lacked vision, failing to see Lu Qing’s true potential.
With the talent he had shown, he might truly become a peerless, all-encompassing Transformation Immortal like their master!
"Ah Qing, are you ready to enter the Sword Dao Inheritance Land right now?"
"I would like to... wait, there is one more thing I need to do."
Lu Qing was about to agree when he paused.
With a flick of his wrist, an Illusion Realm Space materialized in his palm.
