I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1337 - 811: The Netherworld Palace’s Scheme, Stepping Into the Ninth Tribulation (Part 2)

Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
In a mysterious land of the Heavenly Origin Great World, the Black Robe elder of the Netherworld Palace and his subordinates, including the now Primordial Spirit Realm Treasure Tower Master Mo Hongyun, await the arrival of significant figures at a Transmission Array. Three powerful individuals emerge: the white-haired Supreme Elder, the masked Hei Ming, and the charming Hong Fei, drawn by reports of a mysterious person's appearance. The Black Robe elder shares a Memory Stone recording a fierce battle on Heavenly Saint Peak, where Hei Ming and Mo Hongyun both recognize the enigmatic fighter as Lu Qing, sparking concern over the Netherworld Palace's intentions toward him.

The shift in Mo Hongyun’s expression escaped everyone’s notice.

This was because all of them were completely engrossed in the scenes displayed on the light screen.

Even the Black Robe elder, who had viewed this recording earlier, found himself shocked anew as he watched it unfold.

As for Hei Ming and his newly arrived companions, their reaction was even more predictable.

With the video progressing, their eyes slowly expanded in disbelief.

Particularly when Lu Qing morphed into a colossal figure and effortlessly batted the Holy Alliance elders aside like mere pests, Hei Ming’s jaw fell slack in astonishment.

Once the recording concluded, the trio remained utterly speechless in shock.

"A single punch shattering the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, a casual sword slash wiping out over ten Demon Kings—in such a short span, has his power surged to such dreadful heights?"

Hei Ming murmured, his gaze brimming with dismay.

Since returning from the Returning Ruins Secret Realm expedition, he had entered seclusion for intense cultivation and ultimately achieved a breakthrough to the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.

He had believed this would narrow the gap with Lu Qing.

Yet, surprisingly, that divide had only grown larger.

Even experts at the peak of the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit fell to Lu Qing’s punch without resistance.

His own prowess likely couldn’t endure even a single finger from the foe now.

"This enigmatic figure who claimed the entire legacy of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm alone is truly formidable—I’m quite taken with him!"

The alluring woman fixed her stare on the light screen, her cheeks flushing with rare excitement and fervor.

Meanwhile, the white-haired elder wore a gravely serious look.

He hadn’t anticipated that Lu Qing could overpower even a Divine Thought Avatar at the Unity Realm Stage.

It made sense now why Zhang Qiao had advised against Netherworld Palace clashing with him at present.

If a Divine Thought Avatar proved ineffective, then in the Great World, this Primordial Spirit Realm youth was virtually unbeatable.

"Killing a Nine Tribulations powerhouse... has Mr. Lu truly advanced to such an extent?"

Mo Hongyun stood there in a daze.

Given her level, she couldn’t fully grasp the combat shown on the light screen.

After all, the cultivation realms of those involved far surpassed her own, making it hard to comprehend.

However, she had caught Hei Ming’s earlier words clearly.

Observing the stunned faces around her, she could roughly infer what had transpired.

For an instant, her thoughts turned hazy.

She was aware that Lu Qing wasn’t a typical cultivator and had shown exceptional talent since youth.

Still, she never imagined that the young Golden Core Realm practitioner who once required aid to access the Heavenly Origin Great World.

Would rise to such prominence in under a hundred years.

Even top-tier Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit warriors met their end easily at his hands.

"What incredible trials has Mr. Lu faced in these years?" Mo Hongyun pondered silently.

"Supreme Elder, this explains why I suggested Netherworld Palace steer clear of provoking him right now."

The Black Robe elder spoke with a bitter tone, "Moreover, after relaying a report to headquarters, recent events in the Heavenly Origin Great World involving him have come to light in the past few days."

"What events?"

The white-haired elder snapped out of his thoughts and asked.

"A few days back, he showed up in the Demon Clan’s royal capital within the Heavenly Origin Great World, boldly demanding three hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones and a hundred top-grade spirit stones from the Demon Emperor..."

"...Upon departing the Demon Domain, he vanished once more, with his whereabouts unknown."

"Within this brief period, he has essentially roughed up all three major clans of the Heavenly Origin Great World, squeezing nearly a million top-grade spiritual stones and hundreds of top-grade spirit stones from them."

As the most informed organization in the Heavenly Origin Great World, Netherworld Palace.

Had thoroughly probed Lu Qing’s acquisitions of spirit stones from the Demon Clan and Demon Domain.

The disclosures from the Black Robe elder left the white-haired elder and Hei Ming reeling in surprise.

It wasn’t merely Lu Qing’s boldness in shaking down the three Great Clans that astounded them, but his success in securing such an enormous haul of spirit stones.

Nearly a million top-grade spiritual stones plus hundreds of top-grade spirit stones.

Amassing such a vast reserve would demand considerable time and effort from even Netherworld Palace.

Even a Unity Realm powerhouse like the white-haired elder felt a spark of envy and greed.

While top-grade spiritual stones held little value for him, top-grade spirit stones remained invaluable at the Unity Realm.

His personal stockpile over the years fell far short of that quantity.

"Mr. Lu still has a fondness for spirit stones."

In comparison, Mo Hongyun couldn’t suppress a soft smile at the news.

She recalled how Lu Qing had once become a master talisman crafter at her Treasure Tower, driven by the desire to gather spirit stones.

"You’re correct; it would be unwise for Netherworld Palace to turn him into an adversary."

The white-haired elder paused briefly before voicing his agreement.

Hearing this, the Black Robe elder let out a relieved breath.

But soon, the Supreme Elder added: "That said, while Netherworld Palace won’t cross him, there’s another faction that would eagerly pursue intelligence on him."

The Black Robe elder jolted: "Supreme Elder, are you referring to..."

The white-haired elder gave a subtle smile: "Of course, the Black and White Temple. Numerous True Disciples from the Black and White Temple fell to him in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, including Mo Tushan’s demise at his hands.

The Black and White Temple harbors deep-seated hatred for him, eager to tear him apart.

Should word spread of his presence in the Heavenly Origin Great World, how do you suppose the Black and White Temple would respond?"

The Black Robe elder didn’t need to ponder; given the Black and White Temple’s aggressive stance, they’d spare no effort to pursue and eliminate Lu Qing.

"Yet, can even the Black and White Temple deal with him inside the Heavenly Origin Great World?"

The white-haired elder shot a sharp look: "Who mentioned wanting him eliminated? At present, he’s the keenest blade. I intend to wield this blade to sap the Black and White Temple’s very roots!"

"I understand, the disciple comprehends!"

Only then did realization dawn on the Black Robe elder, who nodded vigorously.

"You handle this assignment. Ensure the intel fetches a high price, but withhold details of his latest clashes in the Heavenly Origin Great World—merely inform the Black and White Temple of his deeds in the Heavenly Faraway World." The white-haired elder commanded.

"Yes, the disciple will follow through."

The Black Robe elder acknowledged with a nod, inwardly stirred by surprise.

The Supreme Elder’s directives plainly aimed to deceive the Black and White Temple.

In a way, this reflected the high command’s broader aims.

Did the leadership plan to strike against the Black and White Temple?

Contemplating his organization’s potential assault on one of the stellar realm’s mightiest powers, the Black Robe elder felt profoundly unsettled.

He sensed that momentous changes loomed ahead.

Oblivious to Netherworld Palace’s hidden schemes, Lu Qing concentrated on his underground seclusion, pushing toward the Primordial Spirit Nine Tribulations Realm.

Since Lu Qing had perfected the [Perfect Primordial Spirit Skill] up to the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit stage.

For him, no obstacles existed between the Eight Tribulations and Nine Tribulations.

All he had ever needed was an ample supply of spirit stones.

With plentiful pure spiritual energy, he could advance rapidly and surmount the threshold.

Thus, he devoted himself to cultivation within a bespoke Cultivation Quiet Room he had fashioned.

Countless spirit stones lay strewn about, establishing successive Spirit Gathering Arrays.

The room brimmed with spiritual energy so thick it nearly congealed, which he devoured and refined entirely, fueling his progress.

Over time, as Lu Qing absorbed and processed tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones.

On this fateful day, his body quaked as a tremendous aura burst forth from within.

Concurrently, the Great Dao resonated, heavenly might descended, and vast swirls of Tribulation Qi and necrotic energy enveloped him.
