I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1441 Chapter 865: Return, Recognition from the Hometown World (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
"Then from now on, won't Brother only be able to return home using a Divine Thought Avatar?"
Little Yan looked at Lu Qing with some sadness.
She knew her brother harbored special feelings for their hometown world.
That was the place he grew up, where his master and old friends resided, holding countless memories dear.
If he could only return through a Divine Thought Avatar, while he could still meet his master and the others, it would always feel... incomplete somehow.
Little Li, upon hearing this, also turned her gaze to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing, hearing their words, offered a faint smile. "As I've always said, I possess my own ways."
Little Yan was initially surprised, then recalled that her brother had indeed uttered similar remarks before.
She hadn't given it much thought then, but now, hearing him mention it again, a sense of curiosity bloomed within her.
"What method does Brother have?" Little Yan inquired with urgency.
Lu Qing deferred his answer, instead raising his eyes to gaze upon the distant Small World, which floated serenely within the expanse of the starry sky.
That familiar resonance, that intimate aura, was undeniably the very world he had inhabited for so many years.
"Given my present strength, if I were truly intent on forcibly entering my hometown world, it wouldn't be an impossibility."
Lu Qing stated, "After all, the hometown world is merely a Small World; its Heavenly Dao Will, however potent, has its limits and cannot truly impede me."
This was an undeniable truth.
A cultivator at the Great Unity Realm Stage stood at the apex of the universal hierarchy, unparalleled across the vastness of the starry sky.
The Heavenly Dao Will of a Small World, while wielding absolute dominion over cultivators beneath the Primordial Spirit Realm, might not exert the same authority over those who had reached the Unity Realm.
Otherwise, back then, the formidable demon Mo Cangtian from the Black and White Temple could never have achieved his heinous goal of sacrificing the Holy Spirits of an entire Small World to cultivate his vile Evil Techniques.
That act of atrocity had indeed sent shockwaves throughout the starry sky.
"However, while I possess the ability to force my way into my hometown world..."
Lu Qing's tone shifted as he continued, his words carrying a somber weight. "Executing such an action would inevitably instigate widespread world turbulence, unleashing calamitous disasters. Mountains might crumble, rivers could reverse their flow, and in the direst of circumstances, living beings could be immolated, leading to world annihilation. Such an outcome would be far from ideal."
Little Yan nodded fervently upon hearing his explanation.
Despite her fervent desire for her brother to return in his true form, if the cost entailed the devastation of their cherished hometown world, she would much rather he return via a Divine Thought Avatar.
Even Grandpa Chen would surely frown upon such reckless actions.
"Therefore, my intention is to explore a more gentle approach, if possible," Lu Qing declared.
"A gentler approach?" Little Yan blinked, her comprehension not yet fully formed.
Lu Qing offered no further explanation, instead settling himself cross-legged aboard the Void Flying Boat.
"You two wait over there for the moment," he instructed gently.
Little Yan and Little Li understood his directive and promptly moved aside, refraining from any sound that might disturb his concentration.
Lu Qing slowly shut his eyes, allowing his Heart and Spirit to gradually descend into a state of profound tranquility.
He was now a cultivator of the Unity Realm, his divine thought intertwined with the Nine Great Daos, his perception extending far beyond its previous limitations.
Even in his current state of stillness, he could keenly perceive every nuance of change within the surrounding starry expanse.
Yet, at this juncture, his focus was not on the celestial panorama but entirely devoted to a singular, special existence.
It was the Primordial Spirit Mark he had deliberately placed within the World Origin of his
hometown world many years prior.
During his time in the Primordial Spirit Realm, Lu Qing had mastered a profound secret technique known as [Mayfly Heaven and Earth Life Chapter].
This technique, characterized by its extreme arcane nature, enabled the user to imbue a meticulously refined Primordial Spirit Mark into the very essence of a chosen world.
Once this entrustment was successfully established, even if the physical body were to perish elsewhere, the mark would serve as a conduit for resurrection.
It was, without question, a life-preserving divine ability of the highest order.
Lu Qing's Heart and Spirit delved deeper, effortlessly passing through the hull of the Void Flying Boat, traversing the immense void of the cosmos, and finally making contact with the ethereal barrier of his hometown world.
To ordinary cultivators, this barrier presented an almost insurmountable obstacle.
However, to Lu Qing, it was akin to mere gossamer, yielding easily to his passage.
Despite this, he did not breach it forcefully. Instead, he carefully extended his Heart and Spirit inward, commencing the intricate process of locating the mark concealed deep within the World Origin. The World Origin represents the most fundamental and enigmatic core of any given world.
It resides in the deepest strata of a world, a realm utterly inaccessible to ordinary cultivators, even after a lifetime of endeavor.
Even cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm would be incapable of sensing its existence without the aid of a specialized secret method.
But Lu Qing's circumstances were distinct.
He possessed knowledge of the exact location of his hometown world's origin.
This was further accentuated by the fact that his Primordial Spirit Mark was already deeply entrusted within the very fabric of the World Origin.
A peculiar link exists between that mark and his physical form; even when separated by the vastness of the Endless Void, a faint connection remains detectable.
As Lu Qing's Heart and Spirit journeyed deeper into the land, this connection between his Heart and Spirit intensified, becoming progressively clearer.
"I've found it."
A jolt of realization coursed through Lu Qing as he sensed the presence of the mark.
It resided within the deep layers of the World Origin, floating serenely like a miniature star emitting a subdued luminescence.
This faint glow mingled with the radiance of the World Origin, appearing as though it had long since become one with it.
Numerous tendrils were deeply entrenched within the World Origin.
They resembled the very veins that nourished the World Origin itself.
It seemed that through years of subtle infiltration, this Primordial Spirit Mark had integrated even more profoundly with the World Origin.
Perhaps his initial ambition, to refine the World Origin of his home world and substitute it, was closer to realization than he had thought.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Qing guided his Heart and Spirit to merge seamlessly with the mark.
In the following instant, he felt a unique connection being forged between himself and the World Origin.
This connection wasn't established through divine will or the Great Dao, but rather through that mark—a mark birthed from him, yet existing independently. Through this link, Lu Qing could perceive every subtle shift within the World Origin with absolute clarity.
He sensed the immense, gentle power, the ancient and profound will, and the instinctual repulsion toward any external intruders.
Yet, concurrently, he perceived that the World Origin's disposition towards him differed significantly from its stance on other outsiders.
It was a feeling of... acceptance.
Indeed, acceptance.
Due to the mark's presence, the World Origin regarded him as one of its own.
Even though he had ascended to the Unity Realm, radiating the formidable aura of the Great Dao, from the World Origin's perspective, he was still an intrinsic part of this world.
"As expected, it works."
A flicker of elation crossed Lu Qing's heart, but he quickly regained his composure.
Simultaneously, within the Void Flying Boat, his physical body's aura underwent a transformation, aligning perfectly with the vibrations of his home world, creating an illusion of shared origin.
Lu Qing already possessed the innate ability to alter his form without limitation, making this feat a simple matter for him.
"It is complete."
Lu Qing's eyes opened, a subtle smile gracing his lips.
"Brother, how is it?" Little Yan inquired, approaching him eagerly.
Lu Qing rose, casting his gaze towards the familiar world nearby: "Let's go; it's time to head home."
Little Yan was initially taken aback, then her face lit up with joy: "Really? Brother, you can return in your original form?"
Lu Qing offered a nod.
Little Yan erupted in cheers instantly: "That's wonderful! I knew Brother would find a way!"
Little Li also gave a gentle wag of his tail, his eyes sparkling with happiness.
Lu Qing didn't elaborate further. With a sweep of his wide sleeve, he retracted the Void Flying Boat, and together with Little Yan and Little Li, they set course for their home world.
As they neared the world's boundary, Little Yan felt a tremor of apprehension, concerned that the world's will might suddenly turn hostile.
However, to her astonishment, the barrier seemed to perceive their approach, spontaneously parting to create an opening, granting them passage.
"What... what is happening?" Little Yan asked, her voice laced with bewilderment.
Lu Qing offered a slight smile, choosing not to elaborate.
Some matters were too intricate to articulate; it was best for Little Yan to discover the truth through her own experiences over time.
Lu Qing activated the Void Flying Boat, and in a blink, they had traversed the void, reappearing in the skies above Jiuli Village.
"We've returned..."
Gazing at the familiar village spread out below, a wistful nostalgia touched Little Yan's features.
Meanwhile, in the Half Mountain Courtyard, Old Doctor Chen, engaged in a game of chess with Wei Shanhai, seemed to sense a presence.
He set down the chess piece he held, stepped out of the courtyard, and looked skyward.
Upon witnessing the Silver Flying Boat hovering above the village, a smile bloomed on his face.
