I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1363 - 827: Aura of Darkness, Three Years 2
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Far inside a different territory of the Heavenly Origin Great World.
Lu Qing had taken a seat with legs crossed in the cave dwelling he had just carved out, quietly reflecting.
Of course, he didn't think his location could stay hidden indefinitely.
Yet, the swift responses from the Black and White Temple and the other supreme powers had exceeded what he anticipated.
On this occasion, had he not recently advanced to the Primordial Spirit Ten Tribulations.
He would likely have needed to withdraw tactically against three Divine Thought Avatars wielding Unity Realm Stage might.
While not facing total defeat, he at least would have endured some humiliation.
"Did Luo Yuantian leak the information, or was it the Netherworld Palace pulling strings, or maybe some other unseen forces at play?"
Lu Qing mulled it over briefly, then tapped his fingers to perform calculations.
Surprisingly, he couldn't pinpoint the source of the betrayal regarding his position.
"Could a Secret Treasure be obstructing the Heavenly Mechanism?"
Detecting the tangled state of the Heavenly Mechanism, Lu Qing grasped the situation right away.
His Calculation Skill, despite profound mastery, hadn't delved into the Way of Cause and Effect yet, so it couldn't achieve flawless divination.
Should specific Exotic Treasures be interfering with the Heavenly Mechanism, he'd remain in the dark.
Still, this detail wasn't crucial, since tracing back through his calculations showed that Luo Yuantian bore no connection to the leak.
Therefore, the list of potential culprits narrowed considerably.
The prime suspect among them was the Netherworld Palace, boasting the broadest intelligence web and influence spanning multiple nearby Immortal Domains.
"Netherworld Palace, I trust you'll have the wisdom to avoid crossing me."
Lu Qing felt the hazy Heavenly Mechanism and murmured to himself.
After some thought, Lu Qing provisionally dismissed the issue.
Next, he proceeded to set up the formation that concealed his presence once more.
To him, boosting his personal power remained the top priority at present.
With sufficient might at his command, schemes and plots would crumble like dust under a casual sweep of his sleeve.
After mastering the remaining two tribulations of the Primordial Spirit Realm and advancing to the Unity Realm Stage.
Forget mere Divine Thought Avatars; he could confront even Mo Cangtian and authentic Unity Realm Stage experts, or the full might of the Black and White Temple head-on.
At that point, he could traverse the cosmos without restraint.
Over the course of several days, Lu Qing erected a Grand Formation buried deep in the terrain anew.
In reality, he understood that following the clash with Mo Cangtian and his allies, within the Heavenly Origin Great World, no fools would dare challenge him anymore.
Even so, he preferred not to have his seclusion spot exposed to outsiders, hence the essential safeguards.
With the formation finished, Lu Qing assumed a cross-legged posture in the fresh cave dwelling, sending his Heart and Spirit into the Leaving Fire Tripod.
"Ah Qing!"
Sure enough, the instant Lu Qing arrived in the Leaving Fire Tripod, Little Li dashed over excitedly.
She prattled on endlessly, expressing amazement at the astonishing showdown between Lu Qing and Mo Cangtian.
Qin Zheng and the rest needed no mention.
Since Lu Qing had partially eased the seal, they witnessed the external events from inside the Leaving Fire Tripod.
Consequently, they had a clear view of Lu Qing's fight against Mo Cangtian.
This elevated their reverence for Lu Qing to its zenith.
Right now, Lu Qing embodied a genuine god in their eyes.
The way he effortlessly shattered space surpassed their boldest imaginations.
"Mr. Qin, I've prepared a new cave dwelling, so you can head out and resume your training. I just advanced recently and must continue secluding myself for a while."
Lu Qing courteously informed Qin Zheng and the others.
"You're being too gracious; prioritize your own practice, pay no heed to us," Qin Zheng responded promptly.
Everyone trailing him nodded their assent.
Truthfully, given Lu Qing's prowess that even awed Unity Realm Great Powers, his continued warmth toward them left Qin Zheng and company feeling profoundly honored.
"Then, carry on outside," Lu Qing suggested with a grin.
In the days that followed, Lu Qing arranged for everyone's accommodations once more, guided them for a stretch, and then withdrew to his dedicated Cultivation Quiet Room.
Within the quiet chamber, Lu Qing refrained from diving straight into practice.
Upon reaching Primordial Spirit Ten Tribulations, the Mana in his body flowed ceaselessly, functioning nonstop.
Furthermore, the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd aided his progress, and he had loaded numerous Top-grade Spiritual Stones into his Lifebound Magical Treasure.
Hence, without deliberate effort in cultivation, his advancement proceeded at a steady rate.
As such, Lu Qing wasn't hasty about starting but instead retrieved the recently obtained Dark Demon Pearl.
Lu Qing held considerable interest in this Demon Pearl.
Primarily due to the laws embedded in the Treasure Bead that fascinated him.
The Superpower had already scanned it earlier, revealing no unique inheritances inside the Dark Demon Pearl, and detecting no threats, Lu Qing prepared to send a strand of Primordial Spirit Power into the Demon Pearl for exploration.
Boom!
The moment the Primordial Spirit Power slipped into the Demon Pearl, Lu Qing experienced a horrifying Evil Qi fiercely battering his Heart and Spirit.
It felt like some dreadful entity lurked within the Demon Pearl.
Luckily, his Primordial Spirit was robust, and his Heart and Spirit possessed extraordinary toughness.
Although the Evil Qi's onslaught was fierce, enough to overwhelm a flawless Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator, for Lu Qing, it posed no real threat.
After weathering the first wave, he quickly adjusted, allowing his Primordial Spirit Power to press further in.
Before long, as Lu Qing's Primordial Spirit Power reached the Demon Pearl's nucleus, he detected an unusual ripple.
Upon perceiving what lay beyond, he was instantly stunned.
At the heart of the Demon Pearl resided an essence of exceptionally refined dark energy.
This essence appeared woven from laws, constantly writhing and emitting pulses, akin to a sentient being.
The strange vibe Lu Qing had been picking up stemmed from this essence.
"This energy resembles what Mo Cangtian wields, but it's immensely purer; could the Cultivation Technique Mo Cangtian employs derive from this essence, or be linked to it?"
While examining the dark essence, Lu Qing contemplated inwardly.
As per the white-robed woman's account, the Black and White Temple's ascent stemmed from controlling this Dark Demon Pearl, enabling invasions into various Great Worlds and seizures of vast resources.
It appeared the reality was far more intricate.
The Black and White Temple didn't just use the Demon Pearl for looting; their Devil Technique itself tied back to the Demon Pearl.
Yet, the dark essence in the Demon Pearl existed in a limbo between void and substance, perceivable only by Heart and Spirit, not by direct sight.
This prevented Lu Qing from using Superpower to investigate it, even if desired.
After observing the dark essence for a while, Lu Qing deemed it enigmatic and hard to grasp, starkly unlike the myriad great paths in the Sea of Laws.
With his present insight, he couldn't swiftly decipher any deep insights.
"As expected from an Otherworld’s Exotic Treasure; it's no simple matter to fathom."
Lu Qing let out a gentle sigh, gradually withdrawing his Heart and Spirit from the Demon Pearl.
Although the dark essence piqued his curiosity greatly, he lacked the leisure to delve into it now.
The key focus remained on raising his cultivation level.
Once he attained Harmonization later, he might find moments to examine it in depth.
Putting the Dark Demon Pearl away, Lu Qing effortlessly arranged heaps of Top-grade Spiritual Stones to create a Spirit Gathering Array.
As waves of refined spiritual energy activated, he activated his Cultivation Technique anew, commencing his meditative session.
As he worked on advancing his cultivation, Lu Qing also directed part of his Heart and Spirit to engage his Superpower, starting the derivation of spells for the final two tribulations in the Perfect Primordial Spirit Technique.
Entering Primordial Spirit Ten Tribulations had transformed Lu Qing's Primordial Spirit, boosting his Primordial Spirit Power and sharpening his comprehension further.
Thus, deducing the Cultivation Technique presently required less than his full Heart and Spirit.
Besides, with the crucial breakthrough achieved, outlining the last two tribulations of the Perfect Primordial Spirit Technique proved less challenging.
This enabled him to juggle both cultivation enhancement and technique deduction seamlessly.
Moments passed in a blur, and three years elapsed in an instant.
