I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1183: 730: Separate Opportunities, The World of Restrictions (Part 2)

A conflict between the major Sects would have been fantastic news for the smaller groups.

The situation would be even more ideal if such a clash resulted in heavy losses.

However, despite his aggressive demeanor, Tu Shan exhibited surprising self-control, quickly extinguishing any hopes of a chaotic brawl.

As Tu Shan guided his followers toward the Immortal Palace, the remaining factions remained vigilant and began their own advance.

Rather than sticking together, the various Sect forces diverged, each heading toward a different objective.

The ancestors of these groups holding tokens had nearly all explored this secret realm during its previous emergence.

Consequently, they possessed extensive records and journals detailing the exploration of this mysterious land.

The current objective for these forces was to secure the specific Cultivation resources and treasures noted by their predecessors before pursuing other gains.

Time was of the essence; the realm only manifests once every hundred thousand years and remains accessible for a mere century.

With such a tight window, they had to ensure their efforts were not in vain.

“Brother Yu Jian, what has occupied your thoughts?”

Noticing Yu Jian’s distracted state, Qing Xii spoke up.

“It is nothing. Sister, what is your next move?” Yu Jian asked, snapping back to the present.

“Our Kongming Sect founder left behind a text detailing a specific side hall. We intend to head there first,” Qing Xii explained after a brief pause.

“That works out well. The Sword Master provided me with a document as well, and we have a destination to reach. Perhaps we should part ways for now to claim the legacies of our respective ancestors?”

Yu Jian was well aware that every Sect force here held their own classified intelligence regarding the realm.

He suggested the separation to avoid prying into the private matters of the Kongming Sect.

“Very well, let us do as Brother Yu Jian suggests. Once we have secured our opportunities, shall we regroup at the gates of the Immortal Palace?” Qing Xii agreed with a nod.

“It is a deal.”

Without further delay, the disciples of the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and the Kongming Sect split up, each moving toward the landmarks left by their forebears.

“Is that the power of an absolute Nascent Soul? It is truly terrifying. Had that sword Qi not intervened, I might have failed to escape.”

Lu Qing, having retreated from the square into a nearby structure, was still visibly shaken.

The strength behind that black bone claw was haunting.

Given his current level, resisting such an attack would be nearly impossible without resorting to his ultimate hidden cards.

Most concerning was the realization that his opponent likely hadn't even exerted their full power. Had he been pinned down, escape would have been a fantasy.

“It seems interacting with these major forces is unwise. At my current level, I am nothing more than meat on a chopping board.”

Lu Qing reached a swift conclusion.

Even though the white-clad Young Master had assisted him, Lu Qing chose to avoid contact, as he could not be certain of the man's true intentions.

“I must find a place to conceal myself,” Lu Qing thought, surveying his surroundings.

He was currently in the outer perimeter, still a significant distance from the main Immortal Palace.

The area was filled with magnificent, palace-like buildings of grand scale.

However, Lu Qing noted that every structure was sealed tight, shielded by shimmering light screens that pulsed with immense power.

It was clear these buildings were protected by formidable arrays, making forced entry a daunting task.

This realization troubled him.

The powerful factions would arrive shortly; if he didn't find a hiding spot soon, he would be exposed and vulnerable.

As anxiety mounted, Lu Qing’s instincts flared. He lunged behind a palace wall to mask his presence.

Instantly, he altered his aura, suppressing it so completely that he seemed no different from a lifeless stone.

Seconds after he vanished, over a dozen powerful figures landed exactly where he had been standing.

Their leader was an Elder distinguished by white jade horns.

The group failed to detect Lu Qing. The Elder, consulting a jade scroll, compared the surroundings before pointing at a specific palace with a look of triumph.

“This is the one! The side hall described in our ancestor’s records is right here!”

The Elder’s words sparked a wave of excitement among his followers.

The records indicated that this particular hall housed a treasury filled with magic tools, artifacts, and even several high-grade spiritual weapons.

As long as they could bypass the restrictions, their haul would be legendary!

Guided by the Elder, the group began utilizing ancestral techniques to dismantle the protective array surrounding the building.

From the shadows, Lu Qing watched the proceedings in silence.

He remained perfectly still, lurking in the dark.

He relied on his unique, shapeless ability to blend his essence into the environment.

Any other Cultivation practitioner would have been instantly spotted by these Nascent Soul powerhouses at such a close range.

Eventually, the Elder and his team successfully breached the light screen and disappeared into the hall.

Lu Qing did not follow. Instead, he used the distraction to slip away, maintaining his stealthy state.

Though he knew treasures were being claimed inside, he had no intention of interfering.

The weakest member of that group was at the Five Tribulations Nascent Soul stage.

The Elder with jade horns was a Seven Tribulations powerhouse at the peak of his rank.

With his current strength, Lu Qing knew better than to provoke such a formidable squad.

Nonetheless, the observation was valuable.

He now understood that every building surrounding the Immortal Palace held potential Dao opportunities.

The only barrier to entry was the protective array outside each structure.

“I just need to break the arrays, then?”

A glint of determination shone in Lu Qing’s eyes.

While Lu Qing formulated his plan, a middle-aged man draped in a purple dragon robe led his own clan toward a secluded structure on the opposite side.

“Clan Leader, are we certain this is the location?” an Elder inquired.

The man in the dragon robe checked his jade scroll several times before his face lit up with joy.

“Indeed, this is it. The secret records of our ancestors point directly to this side hall!”

The members of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan cheered at the confirmation.

“Clan Leader, we must hurry. Let us begin!” the Elder urged.

“Commence the technique!”

The leader immediately began chanting, directing ancestral spells toward the palace's shimmering barrier.

As the spells struck, the light screen began to ripple like the surface of a disturbed pond.

The sight filled the Great Yuan Immortal Clan with fervor.

Even the Clan Leader’s eyes burned with anticipation.

According to their history, every blade of grass and every stone within this secret realm was bound by ancient restrictions.

To claim anything, one had to break the seal.

Records identified this building as an elixir hall, stocked with various medicinal treasures.

During the last opening, their ancestors had spent so much time breaching the outer array that they had little time left to bypass the internal restrictions on the pills. They had been forced to leave most of the treasures behind.

Now, armed with refined techniques to bypass the outer shield quickly, they intended to strip the hall bare!

With the final spell cast, the rippling barrier finally gave way, opening a path.

“Move!”

The man in the purple dragon robe commanded, leading his clan into the hall without a second's delay.
