I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1185 - 731: Xuan Yuan Restriction, Superior Spirit Sword “Qing Mang” (2)

Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
As various factions infiltrate the Immortal Palace to seize documented treasures and elixirs, Lu Qing uses his formless abilities to slip away unnoticed. He reaches a secluded, small palace protected by a Xuan Yuan Restriction, a dangerous formation capable of retaliating with hundredfold power if attacked. Utilizing his superpower, Lu Qing begins downloading the inheritance of the Gui Xu Daoist to master the restrictive methods required to enter. With the assistance of Little Li, who hides in his robes to act as a hidden sentry, Lu Qing sits cross-legged to assimilate the complex insights of this mysterious world of restrictions.

Throughout the vast starry sky, there were few who could rival him, even without the assistance of his superpowers.

Consequently, Lu Qing was able to rapidly absorb and comprehend the inheritance he had just simulated from downloading the superpowers, despite its immense scale.

A short while later, Lu Qing reopened his eyes, a flicker of spiritual light dancing within them.

“So that is how it works. The mystical prohibition devised by the Guixu Daoist is truly peerless in its complexity, constantly shifting, where all things return to their mystic origins, harboring endless secrets.”

A joyful expression crossed Lu Qing’s features.

It was truly a restriction worthy of an immortal who grasped the Dao; even after studying the prohibition for such a brief period, he could sense the profound and exquisite craftsmanship within.

However, that initial delight was soon followed by a trace of regret on Lu Qing’s face.

“It is a pity that this prohibition light screen only holds a minor portion of the mystical prohibition’s inheritance; gathering the rest of the knowledge will likely require a great deal more effort.”

Indeed, the [mystical prohibition] inheritance that Lu Qing had downloaded and simulated was only a fragment, and a tiny one at that.

It appeared these prohibition light screens functioned similarly to the great array of Zhou Tian City in the Heavenly Origin Great World, where each screen contained only a partial segment of the inheritance.

To reconstruct the full inheritance, he would likely need to painstakingly download data from every single prohibition light screen.

Yet, the present circumstances clearly did not afford Lu Qing such a luxury, leading to his sense of disappointment.

Nevertheless, Lu Qing quickly composed himself.

While the allure of completing the inheritance was strong, his primary objective at this moment was to ensure the safety of both himself and Little Li.

Lu Qing turned his attention back to the prohibition light screen standing before him.

Following his recent meditation, he could not claim to have fully mastered the downloaded knowledge, yet the light screen no longer held any mysteries for him.

His fingers moved in a rapid blur, and in moments, Lu Qing manifested countless seal formations that sank into the prohibition light screen.

The entire screen immediately began to ripple like the surface of water, and within a few breaths, a gap was torn open.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Qing clutched Little Li and leaped through the opening, immediately casting another set of seal formations onto the screen.

The breach he had created began to mend itself with great speed.

In an instant, it was restored to its former state, becoming perfectly seamless once again.

Had the Primordial Spirit Great Powers from other sects witnessed this, they would have been utterly dumbfounded.

This act signified that Lu Qing had achieved total control over the prohibition light screen.

One must understand that even those experts could barely force the prohibition open and were certainly unable to repair it.

This was true even after their own ancestors and patriarchs had spent lifetimes of effort studying it.

Seeing the prohibition light screen returned to its original state, Lu Qing finally let out a sigh of relief.

The prohibition guarding this secluded small hall was not particularly high-level; it still fell within the Primordial Spirit Realm.

However, because the [mystical prohibition] was so sophisticated, the crafted barrier could exert power that surpassed the normal limits of a Primordial Spirit.

Now that he was safely inside the light screen, it would be difficult for anyone to threaten him, even if he were discovered.

Even that massive man in the black and white Taoist robe would find it nearly impossible to shatter the light screen before him.

As for someone deciphering the prohibition, Lu Qing was even less concerned.

From the inheritance he had just acquired, he knew that every light screen guarding the halls on the periphery of the Immortal Palace was unique.

Each required a specific method to be bypassed.

He doubted that the man in the black and white Taoist robe would happen to possess the exact method for this specific, remote hall.

In other words, he and Little Li were finally truly safe.

Once he had relaxed, Lu Qing carried Little Li and headed into the hall.

He found the interior of the small hall to be barren and lonely; aside from a few tables and chairs, the space was empty.

Naturally, those furnishings were actually treasures themselves, carved entirely from top-tier spirit jade.

In the outside world, they would be considered highly coveted prizes.

Lu Qing scanned the room and noticed these items were also protected by prohibitions. To claim them, the barriers would have to be broken.

He did not rush to dismantle them, choosing instead to meticulously search every corner of the small hall.

Eventually, he made a discovery in one of the chambers.

It was a room that appeared to be the master bedroom, likely used by the hall's original occupant.

A magnificent treasure sword was mounted on the wall.

The sword was also encased in a prohibition light screen, but Lu Qing could feel the terrifying energy vibrating within it.

“Ah Qing, I can sense it! That sword is an incredible treasure!”

Little Li poked its head out from Lu Qing’s arms, looking on with excitement.

Its natural instinct for sensing treasures told it that the sword was a remarkably powerful magical tool.

“Indeed.”

Lu Qing felt a surge of anticipation as he activated his superpower to scan its properties.

After more than ten breaths, several rows of information manifested from the treasure sword.

As Lu Qing finished reading the details, a look of pure joy spread across his face.

“The sword is called ‘Green Mist,’ and it is actually a high-quality spirit sword!”

Lu Qing was thrilled; he had not expected to find such a prize in a remote hall he had chosen specifically for its isolation.

This was a high-grade spirit artifact, and a spirit sword at that!

Among the spiritual artifacts he currently owned, even the Leaving Fire Tripod was only at the peak of the middle-grade level.

The only exception was the Void Flying Boat, which had been restored to high-grade power.

However, the Void Flying Boat was prized for its speed and ability to cross the void, rather than its offensive strength.

A high-grade spirit sword was a different matter entirely.

Sword-type spirit artifacts were renowned for their sheer destructive power.

When pushed to its full potential, a high-grade spirit sword could rank among the elite of all high-grade artifacts.

Excited, Lu Qing focused his attention on the prohibition light screen protecting the sword.

Moments later, the details of the barrier surfaced in his mind.

Just as Lu Qing suspected, this was another mystical prohibition containing part of the inheritance.

Its internal logic differed from the one outside the hall, however.

But for Lu Qing, this posed no significant obstacle.

Before long, he finished downloading and mastering the inheritance within the barrier. He then shattered the light screen and reached out for the treasure sword.

Without any trouble, Lu Qing successfully claimed the blade.

Lu Qing admired the weapon for a moment before immersing his consciousness and spirit into the steel, carving his primordial spirit mark into it to begin the refinement process.

“It is a shame the artifact spirit of this sword is gone; otherwise, this blade would be far beyond the initial stage of high-grade.”

Indeed, the high-grade spirit sword in his hand lacked an artifact spirit.

He had realized this earlier while using his superpower to probe it.

Had it possessed one, he would not have dared to grab an upper-grade spirit artifact with his bare hands so carelessly.

He also learned that this small hall had a significant history.

It was once the home of a direct disciple of the Guixu Daoist, and “Green Mist” had been his personal weapon.

This disciple was apparently a recluse who disliked social interaction, which explained why he lived in such a distant hall.

As for where the disciple went, why the sword was left behind, or the fate of the artifact spirit, Lu Qing remained in the dark.

While his superpowers could reveal information, the data provided was limited, meaning he couldn't know everything.

Of course, the absence of the “Green Mist” spirit was not entirely a loss for Lu Qing.

Refining a high-grade spirit artifact that already possessed a spirit would have been incredibly difficult.

If the spirit refused to submit, it would have been an even bigger headache.

With the spirit gone, the sword's power was slightly diminished, but it saved him a great deal of trouble in claiming it.

After finishing the initial refinement of “Green Mist,” Lu Qing put it away.

His eyes then drifted toward the other objects in the room.

More specifically, he looked at the prohibition light screens protecting them.
