I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1474 - 878: The Key to Survival

"As long as there is anything we can assist with, we shall never refuse."

The several figures clad in black robes rose concurrently, offering a respectful bow to Lu Qing as they bid him farewell.

Lu Qing offered a slight nod, not uttering another word.

He turned and stepped forward.

Instantaneously, spatial distortions erupted, and his form vanished from his previous position.

Qiu Ruofeng and the others observed this spectacle, their hearts once again struck with astonishment.

It was important to recall that, despite this being merely the periphery of the Dark Abyss, the laws governing space here remained exceptionally chaotic.

Standard cultivators in the Unity Realm Stage would ordinarily refrain from employing spatial translocation in such a region, fearing accidental entrapment within spatial turbulence, from which return would be impossible.

Yet, Lu Qing moved with such measured grace, such effortless composure.

It was as though this tumultuous expanse of space was, to him, no different from an ordinary, placid locale.

"Truly... a cultivation prodigy who attained Harmony through the Path of Space."

One of the Black Robed individuals murmured, his eyes brimming with awe.

Another Black Robed figure echoed with a sigh, "And this is merely his Divine Thought Avatar. If his true body were to manifest, just how formidable would his might be?"

Upon hearing this, the others fell into a contemplative silence.

They found themselves unable to fully comprehend the implication.

Qiu Ruofeng gazed intently in the direction Lu Qing had disappeared, remaining wordless for a considerable duration.

After a prolonged interval, one of the Black Robed men found himself unable to refrain from inquiring, "Supreme Elder, this individual... is he indeed the one spoken of in the prophecy?"

Qiu Ruofeng remained silent for a moment before slowly shaking his head.

"I cannot say with certainty either."

He released a sigh and continued, "The prophecy bestowed by the Patriarch was rather ambiguous. It merely indicated that amidst the impending great calamity, a singular thread of Vitality would emerge.

However, what this thread of Vitality might be, or who it could be, even he himself did not ascertain.

He only mentioned that this person would be distinct from all others, treading a path previously unattempted by any."

He surveyed them, his gaze profound.

"But set apart from this individual, I can conceive of no other entity capable of confronting that calamity.

To achieve Harmony through nine Great Daos, an unprecedented feat.

Is this path not precisely the one no one has walked before?"

In response, everyone present nodded in unison.

They were all aware that Qiu Ruofeng spoke the unvarnished truth.

Once that foretold calamity descended, it was certain to engulf the entire expanse of the starry sky.

Even cultivators of the Unity Realm would likely find themselves struggling to preserve themselves before such devastation, appearing as insignificant as ants.

And Lu Qing, this anomaly of cultivation who had attained Harmony through the nine Great Daos, presented the most tangible hope they had ever encountered.

Though he was presently only in the Initial Stage of Harmony, his potential and his demonstrated strength had already far exceeded their wildest estimations.

The vivid memory of countless monstrous beings being annihilated with a mere gesture from him remained indelibly etched in their minds.

Perhaps, he was indeed that solitary thread of Vitality.

Yet, Qiu Ruofeng had chosen not to voice these thoughts in Lu Qing's presence.

He harbored a crucial secret within his heart. Within the prophecy bequeathed by the Patriarch, there existed a single line that he had withheld from Lu Qing.

That particular line stated: amidst the heart of the calamity, that single thread of Vitality would also confront a trial of nine deaths with but one life.

Whether survival or demise awaited would rest entirely upon his own destiny.

He was uncertain if Lu Qing could successfully navigate that perilous trial.

He dared not make a pronouncement.

To reveal it might destabilize Lu Qing's Dao Heart and sow seeds of fear within him.

Conversely, to conceal it might leave Lu Qing unprepared and vulnerable at the critical juncture.

Qiu Ruofeng remained standing within the grand hall, his gaze fixed unmovably in the direction of Lu Qing's departure, lost in thought for an extended period.

By this moment, Lu Qing had already made his exit from the Dark Abyss.

He employed the Space Shifting Technique, traversing the starry void at a rapid pace.

The celestial bodies surrounding him swiftly receded, transforming into luminous streaks of light, cast far behind his trail.

However, the trajectory he followed was not towards his home world.

Instead, his destination was another locale entirely.

The Returning Ruins Secret Realm.

His purpose was to seek an audience with the venerable Old Cyan Dragon.

While Qiu Ruofeng's pronouncements had alleviated some of his uncertainties, they had simultaneously conjured a greater number of enigmas.

Where had the ancient Great Powers of the Human Race vanished to?

Did the Transformation Immortals of antiquity meet their end solely due to the machinations of the Dark Abyss?

Who was that enigmatic expert responsible for sealing the rift?

Why had Gui Xu Taoist and Potian Taoist disappeared without a trace?

What was the true origin of the Patriarch of the Black and White Temple? Did that Power of Darkness truly only corrupt him, or did it serve a more complex, ulterior motive?

These perplexing questions were each more profound and intricate than the last. He required additional information to interweave these threads and perceive the underlying truth.

As an ancient existence whose lifespan spanned an immeasurable number of tens of thousands of years within the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, the Old Cyan Dragon had personally observed the ebb and flow of countless epochs. Therefore, it possessed knowledge of secrets that potentially eluded even the Netherworld Palace.

With a single stride, Lu Qing traversed the vast expanse of the starry sky once more.

The Returning Ruins Secret Realm's coordinates were now within immediate reach.
