I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1189 - 734: Accumulating in Secret, Innocent Victims Caught in the Crossfire

Lu Qing’s primary objective is to gain mastery over as many of the three thousand medium-level restrictions within the secret realm as he possibly can.

He is confident that his innate talent, combined with the assistance of his superpower, will see him through.

He believes that as long as he grasps the majority of these medium restrictions, he can logically deduce the remaining ones even if he fails to collect all three thousand.

While he was previously cautious of the other factions, he has now successfully mastered five hundred of these medium restrictions.

Now, he can effortlessly dismantle the restrictive light screens guarding the perimeter palaces with just a single thought.

Furthermore, his ability to mobilize the power of restriction from the secret realm itself has seen a slight improvement.

One must not overlook this marginal increase in control over the secret realm's restrictive power.

It is well known that the space within the Gui Xu Secret Realm is exceptionally stable and firm. Even a Great Power at the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit cannot shake its foundations; their speed and strength are heavily suppressed here, and even flight is rendered impossible.

However, the small portion of the secret realm's restriction power that Lu Qing can now wield serves to lessen the suppression the Gui Xu Secret Realm exerts upon him.

Through this subtle shift, the massive divide between himself and those elite Primordial Spirit experts has narrowed significantly.

Naturally, this does not imply that Lu Qing currently possesses the raw strength to fight top-tier Primordial Spirits head-on, as such a feat remains unrealistic for now.

Instead, it means the cards he now holds grant him the confidence to avoid being instantly crushed if he should cross their paths.

He can now utilize the geographical advantages of the secret realm to facilitate a careful escape if necessary.

Retracting the restriction from his palm, Lu Qing stood up and exited the palace, casting his gaze toward the horizon.

Specifically, he was observing the dozens of most magnificent and imposing palaces situated further ahead.

Lu Qing was aware that the various factions that had entered the secret realm earlier were mostly concentrated within those palaces, attempting to crack restrictions and scavenge for treasures.

Nevertheless, the "Xuan Yuan Restriction" is incredibly complex; since these factions lack the proper inheritance, they can only attempt to break them through trial and error.

Their progress will be agonizingly slow; they might spend decades without fully breaching a single palace.

In the past, Lu Qing did not dare to get too close to that area.

Now, however, since he can shatter a restrictive light screen with a mere thought—vastly improving his chances of survival—he feels he can afford to take a look.

Yet, ironically, he has become less hurried.

Having grasped a fragment of the true essence of the "Xuan Yuan Restriction," his desire for mere treasures has diminished.

If he can master more medium-level restrictions and gain further control over the secret realm's power.

By that time, the pervasive power of restrictions within the Gui Xu Secret Realm could become his most formidable weapon.

He might even gain the opportunity to peer into the massive Immortal Palace located at the very heart of the secret realm.

At this thought, Lu Qing once again quelled his rising ambitions.

The treasures found in the outer palaces were nothing more than side dishes compared to the mysteries hidden within the Immortal Palace.

Therefore, there was no reason to gamble his life by heading toward the largest palaces right now.

If he were to clash with other factions, it would only hinder his progress in comprehension, which would be a poor trade-off.

Having steadied his heart and mind, Lu Qing resumed his search of the other palaces, though he continued to carefully steer clear of those dozens of major structures.

Several days later, as Lu Qing arrived quietly before a palace on the far periphery, his heart skipped a beat when he noticed a breach in the restrictive light screen.

“Hmm? Why is a faction trying to crack such a remote palace?”

Lu Qing was genuinely surprised.

More importantly, his spiritual sense warned him that something terrifying seemed to be manifesting inside this palace.

He paused to consider his options, chose not to make any sudden movements, and began to withdraw slowly while keeping his aura completely hidden.

Just as Lu Qing retreated, a middle-aged man wearing a purple dragon robe sat cross-legged within the palace treasury. He suddenly snapped his eyes open, a look of confusion flitting across his face.

“Clan Leader, is something wrong?”

The Elder who was maintaining the surrounding array asked.

“It is strange. I thought I sensed a living soul watching from outside just now, but when I searched again, there was nothing,” the man in the purple dragon robe replied, his brow furrowed.

“Someone watching? How is that possible? Clan Leader, you have already ascended to the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit. Even experts like Tu Shan or Hei Ming at the peak of the Eight Tribulations should not be able to evade your Primordial Spirit Sense,” the Elder noted with skepticism.

“Perhaps it was merely a trick of my mind.”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe conceded that this was likely.

He suspected that the Heart Demons produced during his recent tribulation had not been entirely eradicated, leading to his paranoia.

Recalling the experience of his recent tribulation, the man’s heart shuddered slightly.

Even though he had succeeded, there was no denying that the Ninth Tribulation of Primordial Spirit was truly horrific.

It involved not only the deathly Qi of the Heavenly Human Five Decays rotting the physical form but also endless Heart Demon illusions designed to shatter the Primordial Spirit.

Had it not been for the help of the Breakthrough Pill, his life would have been in grave danger during the process.

Fortunately, he had endured.

Now that he had reached the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, his cultivation level stood above everyone else currently in the secret realm.

He could confidently say he held the advantage in the upcoming struggle for providence.

“No, I must continue to consolidate my realm; although I have broken through, the lead I have isn't significant enough until I have fully stabilized the Ninth Tribulation and ensured nothing can go wrong.”

The middle-aged man in the purple dragon robe suppressed his restless emotions.

Despite reaching the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit, he was well aware that the direct disciples of powerhouse Sects like Yu Jian and Hei Ming possessed many hidden trump cards.

They likely carried powerful Magical Treasures granted by their Sects for protection.

To truly dominate these exceptional geniuses, he needed to further refine his power.
