I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1188: 733: Small Success in True Will, Prohibition Breaking with a Wave

Consequently, no one has realized that a lone Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator is still operating independently within the area.

Even the demonic Tu Shan, lured by the prospect of ancient treasures, has momentarily ceased his search for Lu Qing’s trail.

For the majority of these factions, dismantling the restrictions is an arduous ordeal, even with the benefit of secret records bequeathed by their ancestors.

Their predecessors had explored these grounds blindly, much like blind men trying to describe an elephant, possessing little true understanding of how the intricate restrictions functioned.

Such past experiences serve merely as vague references; they do not provide a simple key to unlocking every seal within the Treasure Vault.

If it were otherwise, it wouldn't have taken their forebears an entire century to explore only the outer reaches of the Immortal Palace during their previous foray into the secret realm.

As the various sects focus their efforts on cracking the barriers, time flows by in silence.

A month passes in the blink of an eye.

During this period, no violent conflicts erupted between the groups inside the secret realm.

The sheer number of palaces scattered throughout the Immortal Palace's periphery is vast, and everyone is preoccupied with their own exploration; starting a war now would be a pointless waste of precious time.

Inside one such palace, Lu Qing is seated cross-legged at the center, his eyes shut in deep meditation.

After a moment, he opens his eyes and turns his palm upward. Countless runes erupt and weave together, manifesting as a shimmering restriction that hovers just above his skin.

A closer look reveals that this restriction, condensed by Lu Qing's will, lacks a fixed shape; it is in a state of constant flux.

With every shift, it evolves into a completely different formation.

Within a few short breaths, it has already transitioned through more than ten distinct variations.

“I have finally grasped the shifting transformations of this medium talisman.”

Lu Qing watches the ever-changing restriction in his hand and allows a small smile to form.

Throughout the past month, he has navigated the outskirts of the Immortal Palace with stealth, successfully avoiding the other factions.

By downloading and analyzing the unique restrictions found in over a hundred different palaces, he amassed a wealth of insights. This allowed him to finally touch upon the profound subtleties of the [Xuan Yuan’s Restriction].

He now understands the underlying threads that connect these hundred medium-level restrictions.

“With this level of comprehension, I won't need to wait for downloads when I approach other peripheral palaces; I can simply shatter the restriction barriers and walk right in.”

Inner joy wells up within Lu Qing.

This breakthrough is of immense significance to him.

It marks a major leap forward in his mastery of the [Xuan Yuan’s Restriction].

Furthermore, it provides him with a vital trump card for survival.

The barriers protecting the Immortal Palace’s outer structures are incredibly powerful; even those at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm find them difficult to force open.

However, since he can now dismantle them at will, he can duck into any palace to hide if he ever finds himself in mortal danger.

This undoubtedly bolsters his safety in this treacherous place.

Most importantly, it means he can infiltrate palaces undetected and claim the treasures hidden within.

“It is time to push further into the interior.”

Lu Qing disperses the restriction in his palm and gazes toward the horizon.

Over the last month, he stayed in the outermost zones to ensure he wouldn't be spotted by the other factions.

But now that he can bypass these medium restrictions with ease, he is ready to move closer to the heart of the complex.

Currently, he has only mastered a hundred medium restrictions, yet the full [Xuan Yuan’s Restriction] is composed of three thousand.

He also observed during this month that the smaller peripheral palaces are largely picked clean or empty.

Despite exploring over a hundred buildings in thirty days, the most significant find was the High Grade Spirit Sword from the very first palace he entered.

Lu Qing concludes that if any true treasures remain, they must be housed within the largest structures.

Those grand palaces are currently being besieged by the major factions, which is why Lu Qing has kept his distance until now.

But with his newfound ability to break restrictions effortlessly, the risk is now worth the reward.

Having made his decision, Lu Qing moves with purpose.

He departs his current refuge, scans the area, and makes a beeline for a significantly larger palace in the distance.

Moving like a ghost, Lu Qing arrives at the palace gates.

He quickly executes a series of hand seals, directing his Qi into the restriction barrier.

The barrier ripples instantly, and a gap tears open.

A satisfied smile crosses Lu Qing’s face.

Though he was confident in his theory, seeing it work in practice is deeply rewarding.

Without pausing, Lu Qing slips through the opening and casually mends the tear in the barrier behind him.

He then begins to stealthily scout the interior of the palace.

A day later, when Lu Qing exits the building, he is beaming.

He has finally secured a haul from this palace, and a substantial one at that.

He discovered a cache of rare and exquisite materials for artifact refining.

While they don't quite match the value of the “Green Mist,” they are still incredibly expensive and rare.

They will be invaluable in the future, whether he uses them to upgrade his standard Spirit Artifacts or to craft complex Magical Treasure Array Plates.

“As I suspected, the larger the palace, the better the loot.”

Lu Qing’s eyes sparkle with anticipation as he selects his next target and creeps toward it.

In this fashion, another ten days pass as Lu Qing loots several dozen more palaces.

As he masters dozens of additional medium restrictions, his collection of treasures continues to grow.

Even so, none of these new finds have managed to eclipse the “Green Mist” Spirit Sword.

“It appears that even within the Guixu Secret Realm, High Grade Spirit Artifacts are considered top-tier treasures,” Lu Qing muses.

This realization confirms just how lucky he was at the start.

He had managed to pull a High Grade Spirit Artifact from the very first palace he stepped into.

“Given that, should I risk going even deeper?”

Lu Qing looks toward the cluster of the largest palaces in the far distance, feeling a moment of indecision.

If his logic holds, those massive halls must contain the most legendary treasures of all.

However, the most powerful Cultivators in the secret realm are surely gathered there.

Even with his budding ability to manipulate the Power of Restriction, he cannot be certain he could evade the detection of those supreme Primordial Spirits.

While he can break the peripheral barriers now, it still takes him a few breaths of time.

Against a truly elite powerhouse, a few breaths is an eternity—more than enough time for them to strike him down.

“No, I cannot let greed cloud my judgment. Mastering more medium restrictions is the priority; even the greatest treasure is useless if I lack the strength to keep it.”

After weighing his options, Lu Qing decides against any reckless gambles.

His primary objective remains the mastery of the medium restrictions.

If he can uncover the true core essence of the [Xuan Yuan’s Restriction] and identify the universal laws governing these seals,

He would eventually be able to collapse these peripheral barriers with a single thought or a mere breath.

He might even gain control over the secret realm's overall Power of Restriction.

Only then would he truly possess the standing to face the major factions head-on.

Stifling his impulses, Lu Qing chooses not to push into the center.

Instead, he continues his systematic exploration of the surrounding structures.

Another month slips away.

Inside a medium-sized palace, Lu Qing emerges from his meditative trance.

He flips his hand, and this time, runes manifest with lightning speed, forming a restriction that flickers and transforms dozens of times in the span of a single heartbeat.

“Finally, by accumulating the insights from five hundred medium restrictions, I have brought my understanding of their true essence to the realm of Small Success.”

Lu Qing ignores the world around him, focusing on the dancing restriction in his palm.

Dozens of transformations occur every second.

Such a display of skill would leave even a Tao-transforming Immortal in a state of shock.

But Lu Qing remains calm, for he has reached a new level of enlightenment.

Within each breath, multiple tens of restrictions transform on his palm.

Such mastery, even a Tao-transforming Immortal would be startled seeing.

But Lu Qing himself is not surprised.

Just now, he has reached a point where—
