I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1198 - 738: The Immortal Palace Opens, Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation!
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
With a flicker of his intent, Mo Tushan retracted the obsidian tower and began his exit.
"It is time. Previously, Yu Jian and his lot were lingering outside, provocatively insulting the Black and White Temple.
I lacked the leisure to silence their barking while focusing on the Nine Abyss Demon Tower. However, their lives will end the moment we step into the Immortal Palace.
I vow to refine every last one of them, turning their essence into sustenance for my Demon Tower!"
...
"Why hasn't Ah Qing woken up despite such a massive disturbance?"
Elsewhere, inside the grand hall where Lu Qing resided, Little Li had already stood up, his gaze brimming with worry.
The tremors shaking the Immortal Palace were so violent that they had long since commanded attention.
Not knowing the cause, Little Li was instantly gripped by panic.
His primary concern, however, was that Lu Qing remained motionless in the center of the hall. Despite the fierce vibrations, he sat cross-legged in silent cultivation, eyes shut tight without any sign of stirring.
This left Little Li feeling both restless and helpless.
Fortunately, after some time, he finally watched as Lu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
"The Fourth Tribulation realm is finally stabilized."
Feeling the torrent of power coursing through his body, Lu Qing’s eyes were filled with deep emotion.
He simultaneously marveled at his own fortune.
Had he not stumbled upon that Elixir Hall and secured a massive hoard of Nourishing God Pills, achieving such rapid breakthroughs into the Fourth Tribulation realm would have been impossible.
Indeed, through years of secluded refinement, he had consistently processed the Nourishing God Pills and other Primordial Spirit-level elixirs.
Not long ago, Lu Qing had successfully endured the fourth Primordial Spirit Tribulation, officially ascending to the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation.
Following a month of accumulation, he had now fully solidified his foundation, mastering the explosive surge of power that accompanied his breakthrough.
However, this progress had completely drained the cultivation resources he had scavenged from the outer palace.
While he possessed many other treasures, they offered no practical benefit for increasing his raw strength.
Nevertheless, Lu Qing remained profoundly satisfied.
Under normal circumstances, even with an abundance of Spirit Stones, reaching the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation would have required decades of solitary effort.
Now, he had not only bypassed years of toil but also preserved a fortune in Spirit Stones. He had every reason to be pleased.
"Ah Qing!" Little Li dashed toward him the moment he saw Lu Qing wake. "The entire secret realm is shaking violently. Is it about to close?"
"I am not certain," Lu Qing replied with a shake of his head. "We will find out once we investigate the outside."
Naturally, Lu Qing had felt the instability of the secret realm.
But as he admitted, the source of these fluctuations remained a mystery to him.
Only by heading out to explore could he uncover the truth.
Luckily, his power had surged tremendously. Even if he crossed paths with Mo Tushan again, there was no longer any need for fear.
He now possessed the genuine confidence required to confront other factions head-on.
"Are we really heading out?"
Little Li’s expression turned apprehensive at the suggestion.
He had heard from Lu Qing that the experts outside were formidable, particularly those at the Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit level.
The thought of encountering such terrifying figures made him uneasy.
"Don't worry." Lu Qing comforted the little guy by patting his head. "Enter the Leaving Fire Tripod in a moment; I will have 'Yan' relax some of the restrictions so you can observe the situation outside."
"Okay, but please be careful, Ah Qing," Little Li urged.
He understood that with his meager strength, remaining outside would only serve as a distraction for Lu Qing.
"Rest easy, the current me does not necessarily fear them anymore." Lu Qing offered a smile.
It was then that Little Li remembered how he had watched Lu Qing survive two additional Primordial Spirit Tribulations over the past few years. Knowing he was now at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation realm, Little Li felt much more relaxed.
He was aware that Lu Qing’s foundation was incredibly deep; every breakthrough resulted in a massive leap in combat power.
Recalling how Lu Qing had escaped an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit while only at the First Tribulation, his safety seemed even more certain now that his strength had multiplied.
"Yan, adjust the restrictions so Little Li can see what is happening outside."
After placing Little Li into the Leaving Fire Tripod, Lu Qing gave his instructions.
Previously, he had completely sealed the tripod whenever Little Li was inside.
This was done to shield him from any stray energy or shockwaves during combat.
Now, however, he was confident enough to ensure no harm would come to the tripod.
"Mo Tushan, the next time we meet, I shall provide you with a grand surprise."
Lu Qing whispered to himself while looking ahead.
Then, with a single stride, he vanished from the hall.
"Is this chaos being caused by that massive Immortal Palace?"
Once he passed through the protective barriers, Lu Qing realized the source of the tremors was the colossal Immortal Palace located at the secret realm's heart.
Currently, the Immortal Palace was shrouded in brilliance, releasing waves of immense power that caused the entire realm to shudder.
Lu Qing fixed his gaze on the structure, triggering his superpower to see if any new information would manifest.
He had tried this upon his initial arrival, but perhaps due to his lower cultivation, he had failed to glean anything useful from the Immortal Palace.
Having now crossed three more layers of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation to reach the Fourth Tribulation, he wondered if his increased strength would make a difference.
Unfortunately, Lu Qing was met with disappointment.
After observing for a time, the Immortal Palace remained enigmatic, revealing no data.
Just as he prepared to probe further, the radiance of the Immortal Palace suddenly intensified, becoming blindingly bright.
Even with his current level of cultivation, Lu Qing was forced to instinctively shut his eyes.
When he opened them again, the blinding glows had faded, and the palace appeared to have returned to its normal state.
It felt as though what he had just witnessed was a mere hallucination.
Lu Qing knew better, however; the Immortal Palace had definitely undergone a transformation.
Sadly, his lack of information prevented him from identifying the exact nature of the change.
He was certain of one thing: this was not the secret realm closing, but something far more significant.
"It seems I must go there personally to see what has truly transpired."
After a brief moment of reflection, Lu Qing shifted into a wisp of smoke and sped toward the Immortal Palace.
His knowledge of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was still quite shallow.
When anomalies occurred, he was unable to determine the cause.
Previously, he had avoided the other factions due to his limited strength.
Now, he could afford to be bolder; perhaps the hidden preparations he had made would finally prove useful.
Back when Lu Qing was only at the Primordial Spirit First Tribulation, he was already faster than Mo Tushan. With his current power, his speed was nothing short of terrifying.
Even without exerting his full effort, he blurred through the sprawling palace complexes.
However, as he neared the dozens of largest palaces, Lu Qing suddenly came to a halt.
He realized that these palaces were now devoid of life; they had been vacated and abandoned by the various powers.
"Have they all moved toward the Immortal Palace?" Lu Qing mused.
While he wasn't certain, this was clearly a favorable development.
Previously, the presence of those factions had prevented him from downloading the inheritances hidden within the restrictions of these major palaces.
Now that the powerful experts had departed, a perfect window of opportunity had opened.
Without a second thought, Lu Qing altered his course, deciding to delay his arrival at the Immortal Palace.
He veered toward one of the massive structures, activated his superpower, and began the download process.
Given his mastery of the [Xuanyuan Restriction], downloading the data from these dozens of palaces would not take long.
As for the Immortal Palace, since he was already late, a small additional delay wouldn't change much.
Furthermore, he doubted those factions could achieve significant progress in such a short time.
If obtaining treasures from the outer palaces was difficult, the defenses within the Immortal Palace would surely be far more formidable.
While Lu Qing moved between the massive halls, harvesting inheritances, he remained unaware of the situation elsewhere.
Outside the Immortal Palace, the atmosphere had reached a breaking point, thick with the scent of impending battle.
