I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1472 - 878

Lu Qing remained silent, his thoughts in a whirlwind. He had never anticipated that the reason behind the vanishing of those Transformation Immortals was so bizarre. They were apparently corroded by the Power of Darkness, bearing a mark, and then, at a predetermined moment, violently dragged into a rift. This method of disappearance was utterly mind-boggling, leaving him with a cascade of questions. What exactly lay beyond that rift? Where had those Transformation Immortals been taken? Were they even still alive? A multitude of queries flooded his mind.

Yet, another significant question quickly emerged. The explanation Qiu Ruofeng provided pertained only to the disappearance of a specific group of Transformation Immortals in ancient times. But what about the fate of the formidable Human Race powerhouses from primordial times, those who emerged victorious after their titanic clashes with the Witch Clan? Lu Qing had personally witnessed historical records of this era within the Trial Secret Realm of the Witch Clan. He remembered the fierce contention between the Human Race and the Witch Clan, a brutal struggle across the star sky, with humanity ultimately triumphing. This victory surely implied the existence of numerous extraordinarily powerful Great Powers within the Human Race, far exceeding the naturally robust and divinely skilled Witch Clan. However, in the current era, he seemed to have encountered no records or legends of these ancient titans. It was as if, upon defeating the Witch Clan, these primordial Great Powers had collectively vanished. This anomaly struck him as profoundly abnormal.

The records left by the Holy Alliance in the Heavenly Origin Great World also offered vague allusions to this period. Lu Qing had stumbled upon this discrepancy while perusing the Holy Alliance’s extensive library. The historical accounts from those ancient days were disconcertingly brief, almost as if deliberately expunged, leaving behind only nebulous legends and fragmented phrases. What was truly going on? Who would want to erase that segment of history, and for what nefarious purpose?

Furthermore, he pondered the disappearance of Transformation Immortals in the more recent past, spanning hundreds of thousands of years since ancient times. According to the Holy Alliance’s records, it wasn't as if no Transformation Immortals had emerged during this long span. Every few tens of thousands of years, exceptional talents would invariably break through that crucial barrier, achieving the Realm of Transformation. He recalled one such individual who had once dominated the Great Origin Immortal Domain for an extended period, their awe-inspiring reign casting a long shadow over the starry sky. Yet, like so many others, they too had eventually disappeared.

Could their disappearances also be attributed to the Dark Abyss? Lu Qing doubted this. If the Dark Abyss truly possessed such overwhelming power, capable of forcibly abducting Transformation Immortals one after another, it would not be lurking in the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea. Instead, it would have already consumed the entire star sky, relentlessly expanding its domain. However, the reality was that, despite its inherent dangers, the Dark Abyss remained confined to its region, never venturing beyond its established boundaries. This suggested a limit to its power, or perhaps, it was being actively restrained.

And then there was the matter of the seal. The seal meticulously placed by that unnamed, unparalleled powerhouse. Lu Qing recollected Qiu Ruofeng’s earlier mention of an extraordinary being who had utilized Supreme Divine Power to seal the rift. If this account was true, then who was this mysterious powerhouse? And where had they gone after accomplishing such a monumental feat? An individual capable of sealing a rift that spanned across the star sky must have possessed power far exceeding that of ordinary Transformation Immortals. Such a being should have left behind indelible legends. Yet, neither the Holy Alliance’s records nor the documentation of other factions contained any mention of such a formidable figure. It was as if their very name had been systematically erased from history.

Then there were the puzzling disappearances of Gui Xu Taoist and Potian Taoist. Their vanishing acts, Lu Qing suspected, had no connection to the Dark Abyss. Old Cyan Dragon and others had recounted that Gui Xu Taoist disappeared after establishing the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, taking with him a contingent of his direct disciples and substantial resources. Potian Taoist, on the other hand, vanished prior to achieving a breakthrough to the Unity Realm Stage. Their disappearances likely stemmed from entirely different circumstances.

Consequently, while Qiu Ruofeng had provided potential explanations for the ancient Transformation Immortals’ vanishing, the puzzles in Lu Qing’s heart remained, perhaps even more profound than before. The enigmatic disappearance of the primordial Great Powers, the ancient Transformation Immortals, the mysterious powerhouse who sealed the rift, the current whereabouts of Gui Xu Taoist and Potian Taoist, and the true identity of the Black and White Temple’s founder… These interwoven enigmas, each more layered and distant than the last, seemed to shroud the history of primordial and ancient times in an impenetrable mist. Lu Qing remained silent, these complex thoughts unvoiced.

His gaze settled on Qiu Ruofeng, discerning from both tone and expression that the other might also be in the dark regarding the historical conflicts between the Human Race and the Witch Clan.

It's possible, perhaps, that the entirety of the Netherworld Palace lacks in-depth records on this subject.

After all, the founder of the Netherworld Palace originated as a Transformation Immortal from ancient times.

And ancient times followed primal times.

Concerning the more distant primordial era, their knowledge likely mirrors that of any outsider.

Furthermore, he had no intention of revealing his ties to the Witch Clan.

Lu Qing's thoughts raced, and he shifted the conversation's direction.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what insights do you possess regarding the genesis of the Black and White Temple?"

Upon hearing Lu Qing's inquiry, Qiu Ruofeng's countenance instantly grew serious.

Those few figures clad in black robes also lifted their heads, their expressions laced with unease, some unconsciously tightening their fists.

Qiu Ruofeng paused for a beat before articulating, "Regarding the Black and White Temple, our Netherworld Palace has maintained a vigilant watch over the years."

"Indeed?" Lu Qing's eyebrows lifted subtly.

Qiu Ruofeng continued, "You must be aware that the ascendancy of the Black and White Temple was precipitated by their founder's triumphant return from an exploration of the Dark Abyss.

Their founder, it is whispered, was merely an enigmatic individual prior to venturing into the Abyss, his cultivation at the Primordial Spirit Realm, barely a flicker in the vast starry sky of that era."
