I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1433 Chapter 862:

His voice remained steady, but it conveyed an absolute sense of conclusion.

When those words reached his ears, a profound heaviness settled in the Five Treasure Taoist's heart, as an unnameable sorrow welled up, enveloping his whole existence. He had foreseen this day's arrival long ago, yet its true coming still left him feeling utterly void, like the collapse of his strongest pillar.

He yearned to voice his plea, begging Lu Qing to let him come along, willing to serve as a mere attendant fetching tea and water, content to trail behind eternally with full devotion.

The endless plots and betrayals in the Heavenly Origin Great World had exhausted him—this birthplace that nurtured him now felt like nothing but a source of endless pain.

The shame of the Heavenly Prison, the disloyalty from his fellow disciples, the world's misconceptions, all had eroded his final shred of bond to this land.

Yet the plea hovered on his tongue, only to be forced back down his throat.

Self-control held him back, and even more so, a clear grasp of his own limits.

Lu Qing's origins and status were beyond comprehension; with a simple motion, he could terrify Unity Realm experts and eliminate All Heavens Saints—such a figure surely came from some Paramount Realm among the cosmos, bearing world-shaking mysteries. Lu Qing had never shared his history or unveiled his real self, obviously intent on keeping it hidden from others, let alone allowing them to tag along.

A mere Golden Core Realm cultivator like him was insignificant as specks of dirt compared to Lu Qing. Boldly requesting to follow would not succeed and might even irritate him, squandering their remaining bond.

This measure of restraint, the Five Treasure Taoist still maintained.

Drawing in a deep breath to suppress the unwillingness and grief within, the Five Treasure Taoist lowered his head gradually, his voice laced with isolation but firm beyond words: "Since Your Excellency plans to depart, I won't try to dissuade you. Moving forward, I intend to seek a secluded spot for closed-door cultivation, focusing solely on my technique and ignoring all mortal affairs. Should fortune smile and I shatter the bottleneck to enter the Primordial Spirit Realm, I'll then depart the Heavenly Origin Great World to wander the boundless cosmos, witnessing the outer realms and ensuring my life holds true meaning."

He avoided mentions of fondness or regret, merely stating his intentions plainly. Still, the loneliness echoed clearly in every syllable for all to sense.

Gazing at the enduring Taoist who preserved his authentic self amid trials, Lu Qing sensed a faint stir in his emotions. Though the Five Treasure Taoist's cultivation level wasn't impressive, his heart stayed pure, prizing loyalty and justice. Had he not shielded the innocent back then, villains wouldn't have schemed against him, landing him in the Heavenly Prison. Such character stood out amid the treacherous Cultivation World.

As a longtime companion he'd rescued himself, it felt proper to bestow a parting gift.

Lu Qing lifted his hand, a soft green glow emanating from his fingertips. As the radiance swirled, two objects gradually materialized.

One appeared as an old scroll, inscribed with arcane symbols, radiating boundless Daoist essence—a Paramount Technique sourced from stellar depths, the "Mixed Element Dao Scripture," vastly superior to anything in the Heavenly Origin Great World, sufficient to carry the Five Treasure Taoist up to the Unity Realm Stage or beyond.

The second was a Five-Color Exquisite Tower, merely three inches tall, yet masterfully sculpted with lucky clouds adorning it—the enhanced form of the Five Treasure Taoist's vanished Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Five-Color Tower, now dubbed the Primordial Five-Color Exquisite Tower. Lu Qing had forged it personally with Star Sky Divine Gold, offering peerless defense that could effortlessly withstand strikes from Unity Realm Great Powers, safeguarding the Five Treasure Taoist whether in the Heavenly Origin Great World or across the stars.

"Accept this 'Mixed Element Dao Scripture', train in it assiduously, and it shall aid you in piercing the Primordial Spirit Realm barrier toward loftier heights. This Primordial Five-Color Exquisite Tower aligns with your essence and will act as your guardian artifact. Henceforth, no one can threaten your existence." Lu Qing snapped his fingers, sending the scroll and tower drifting gently to the Five Treasure Taoist. "We part today, but amid the starry expanse, if destiny wills it, our paths will cross once more."

Shaking uncontrollably, the Five Treasure Taoist grasped the technique and treasure, sensing their supreme Daoist presence and immense might, as tears flooded his eyes; he dropped to his knees with heavy thuds, kowtowing three times: "This junior expresses deepest gratitude for Your Excellency's lavish bestowal! Your Excellency's immense benevolence, this junior will engrave eternally in heart and soul, through this life and the next!"

"Stand." Lu Qing replied evenly.

The Five Treasure Taoist rose, gripping the technique and treasure firmly while staring at Lu Qing's form. Despite the torrent of reluctance in his chest, aware the farewell loomed, he could only utter through sobs, "Your Excellency,

safe travels!"

"Mm."

Lu Qing gave a faint nod, offered nothing further, pivoted, and with a sleeve flourish, carried Little Yan and Little Li away as a streak of emerald light, vanishing in an instant toward the horizon, speeding to the concealed underground cave mansion of old.

The Five Treasure Taoist remained rooted, eyes fixed on Lu Qing's departure path, lingering long after the green gleam faded entirely. Only then did he turn his gaze away, embracing the technique and treasure, heading into remote peaks to enter secluded cultivation, detached forever from worldly concerns.

The emerald streak cut through the firmament, arriving swiftly at the hidden sanctum buried deep in the Heavenly Origin Great World.

This underground cave mansion had been hand-built by Lu Qing, concealed under a chasm ten thousand feet deep, veiled by ultimate formations so profound that even Unity Realm Great Powers struggled to detect it. Inside, spirit springs flowed, immortal flora blanketed the grounds, and spiritual energy condensed into liquid form, crowning it the supreme cultivation paradise of the Heavenly Origin Great World. After freeing Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and their group from the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison, they had secluded here ever since, recuperating, strengthening foundations, purging the latent wounds from the Heavenly Prison, and pushing their cultivation higher.
