I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1502 - 889: Settling In and Cultivation, Undercurrents Rising_2

Lu Qing offered a nod and guided the elder doctor and the others towards the second floor of the Immortal Palace.

The second floor of the Immortal Palace unfolded into a vast expanse. The spiritual energy here was noticeably denser than outside, enveloped in a lingering mist that rendered it akin to a fairyland. Countless Immortal Mountains were suspended in mid-air, adorned with flowing clouds and cascading waterfalls, presenting a scene reminiscent of a celestial realm. Perched atop these Immortal Mountains were cave dwellings, each fortified with independent restrictions and arrays to insulate cultivators from external disturbances, ensuring uninterrupted cultivation.

"Master, what do you think of this cave dwelling?" Lu Qing inquired, gesturing towards a dwelling nestled against a mountainside, fronted by a serene and elegant bamboo forest.

The interior of the cave was expansive, featuring a quiet room, an alchemy chamber, and a Martial Arts Arena, all thoughtfully arranged. The elder doctor surveyed the surroundings and, with a nod of approval, declared, "This one will suffice."

Little Yan selected a cave dwelling situated near a waterfall, finding solace in the rhythmic sound of the water. Little Li opted for a location adjacent to Elder Azure Dragon’s dwelling, facilitating convenient access for guidance from his master. Xiao Bai and the Five Elements took up residence in Little Yan’s cave dwelling, accompanying her.

With arrangements settled, Lu Qing offered advice: "Master, please make yourself comfortable here for the time being. Should you require anything, you may approach Elder Azure Dragon and the others. The Immortal Palace houses numerous inheritances from Gui Xu Taoist; feel free to explore them if you are inclined. The sword dao inheritance, in particular, should prove quite beneficial for you."

The elder doctor assented, "Very well, you may attend to your own matters."

Lu Qing then turned to Little Yan, saying, "Cultivate diligently. If you encounter any difficulties, Elder Ming Feng seems quite interested in you and would be happy to offer assistance." Little Yan responded with an obedient nod.

Without further words, Lu Qing’s form flickered and vanished from the spot. In the next instant, he materialized within a mysterious, secluded space deep within the Immortal Palace.

It was an unusual space, devoid of sky or ground, shrouded in a hazy luminescence. This glow emanated a soft, warm quality, reminiscent of both the dawn and the dusk. Upon entering, Lu Qing felt an immediate wave of comfort wash over him, a sensation stemming from the incomparably pure spiritual charm permeating the area. These spiritual charms drifted languidly through the space, almost tangible in their presence. They possessed a purity and profundity far exceeding that found in top-grade spirit stones, yet they were gentler in nature.

While not quite reaching the density of a top-grade spirit stone, the concentration was more than enough to bring him delight. As he entered, his physical body instinctively began to absorb the surrounding spiritual charm. This essence seeped through his pores, courged into his meridians, and flowed into his dantian, rejuvenating every fiber of his being. A comforting sensation spread throughout his body, akin to a parched riverbed finally receiving refreshing rain.

Ever since reaching the Unity Realm Stage, his strength had undergone significant transformations, leading to a vastly increased demand for spiritual energy. Even top-grade spirit stones had become largely insufficient for his cultivation needs; absorbing one yielded barely perceptible progress. Consequently, his physical body had endured a prolonged state of 'thirst' for adequate cultivation resources. He was eager to cultivate but lacked the necessary materials.

Now, finding himself in this mysterious space, the abundant spiritual charm felt as invigorating as a cup of cool water offered to someone desperately thirsty. This hidden realm was, in fact, the core of the Immortal Palace, the nexus where all spiritual charm converged—the very cultivation sanctum once utilized by Gui Xu Taoist. A place capable of supporting the cultivation of a Transformation Immortal was, by its very nature, extraordinary.

Lu Qing settled into a cross-legged position, closed his eyes, and quietly attuned himself to his surroundings. He could sense an intrinsic connection between this space and the entirety of the Immortal Palace. The Immortal Palace itself was anchored in the void, its myriad roots extending outward, ceaselessly drawing in exotic energies from the Endless Void. These energies originated from diverse sources: the luminescence of distant stars, fluctuations within the void itself, and even the rifts that scarred space-time.

Though varied and chaotic, the Immortal Palace possessed the remarkable ability to transmute these disparate energies into pure spiritual charm. This transformative capability was the hallmark of a Dao Artifact. When a magical treasure attains the status of a Dao Artifact, it gains the capacity for autonomous operation, independently drawing energy from the void to sustain itself. Immense Dao Artifacts such as the Immortal Palace could further refine the absorbed energy into spiritual charm, making it accessible for cultivators.

This fundamental reason explained why even Transformation Immortals harbored a deep desire to possess a Dao Artifact.

Possessing a Dao Artifact bestows an inexhaustible fount of cultivation resources and the potential for continuous growth. Previously, without anyone overseeing the Immortal Palace, its ability to absorb energy was purely passive, and the conversion rate was only adequate. It did generate some spiritual charm, but the amount was scant, and the process was sluggish. Now that Lu Qing has personally refined the Immortal Palace, fueled by his heart and spirit, the efficiency of absorbing void energy has surged dramatically. Its roots plunge deeper into the void, greedily drawing in various energies. The conversion speed is now many times faster than before. "With the aid of the Immortal Palace, my Harmonization Body will likely attain the small success stage in a remarkably short time." Lu Qing felt immense joy. He had always been accustomed to swift progress in his cultivation. From the very beginning of his training, his advancement had vastly outpaced that of ordinary individuals. Each breakthrough, each transformation filled him with exhilaration and satisfaction. Yet, since entering the Unity Realm Stage, his cultivation had almost completely stalled. He remained at the Initial Stage of Harmony, with virtually no headway, a situation that caused him considerable unease. Now, within the cultivation environment of the Immortal Palace, he finally experienced the sensation of his cultivation advancing once more. Though slower than in the past, it was undeniably progressing. Lu Qing settled his mind and commenced his cultivation. He initiated his cultivation technique, drawing the surrounding spiritual charm into his body, guiding it along his meridians to nourish the Harmonization Body. The Harmonization Body is a unique physique obtainable by cultivators at the Unity Realm Stage. It is a special constitution formed through the unification of divine thought and the Great Dao, which fortifies the physical form. The potency of the Harmonization Body is directly proportional to the cultivator's overall strength and future potential. Lu Qing's harmonization with the nine Great Daos inherently made his Harmonization Body far more robust than that of typical Unity Realm Stage cultivators. However, precisely because of this inherent advantage, nurturing the Harmonization Body to the stages of small success, great success, or even perfection demands an extraordinary quantity of spiritual charm. The current cultivation space within the Immortal Palace is precisely what he urgently requires. While cultivating, Lu Qing activated his superpower, commencing the deduction of the subsequent cultivation techniques for the Perfect Harmony Method. Having harmonized with nine Great Daos and possessing an unprecedented physique, the existing cultivation techniques were insufficient for his needs, compelling him to deduce them himself through gradual effort. Fortunately, with the assistance of his superpower, he could discern the correct path forward, avoiding aimless wandering. During his cultivation, Lu Qing also allocated a portion of his consciousness to refine a Divine Thought Avatar. At Lu Qing's current level of attainment, performing multiple tasks simultaneously presented no challenge. His divine thought was exceptionally powerful, enabling him to manage several endeavors with ease. Naturally, the objective behind creating a Divine Thought Avatar was to investigate the Black and White Temple. He had not yet fully grasped the intricacies of the Black and White Temple's operations. The influence of that organization ran deeper than he had initially surmised. It was possible its origins were somehow intertwined with the Dark Abyss. There was even a chance of a connection to those ancient, malevolent entities. He required more time and a greater volume of information to form an accurate assessment. While his main body remained within the Immortal Palace to cultivate, the Divine Thought Avatar could venture out to conduct investigations. Both actions would proceed without delay. With a mere thought, a distinct figure emerged from his physical form. This figure bore an exact resemblance to him, differing only in its slightly diminished aura, and it was, in fact, his Divine Thought Avatar. The Divine Thought Avatar offered a nod towards the main body before stepping forward, vanishing from the immediate vicinity. In the subsequent moment, it had departed the Returning Ruins Secret Realm and materialized in the vast expanse of the starry sky. The starry sky stretched out, immense and without apparent limits. The Divine Thought Avatar hovered in the void, its gaze fixed on the distant horizon. With a subtle exertion of will, it advanced, activating the Space Shifting Technique, and its form instantly disappeared from its current location. In the blink of an eye, it had traversed billions of miles. The direction it pursued led to a subsidiary temple belonging to the Black and White Temple. According to intelligence gathered from the Netherworld Palace, the Black and White Temple maintained numerous sub-temples scattered throughout the cosmos. These lesser temples served as forward outposts for the Black and White Temple's expanding operations, functioning as hubs for resource collection and the capture of cultivators. He intended to conduct a thorough investigation to ascertain if any further clues could be uncovered.
