I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1201 - 740: Ancient Will, Array Trial, First Stage!

Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Tensions between the rival sects simmered down as the Immortal Palace underwent a sudden transformation, revealing eight giant gates. Each gate represents a distinct path of cultivation—including Physical Body, Sword Dao, Divine Soul, and Law—and serves as a trial that must be cleared to claim the palace’s ultimate inheritance. The major factions have dispersed into their chosen gates, with the Black and White Temple pursuing the path of the Body while the Sky-breaking Sword Sect and Kongming Sect joined forces within the Sword Dao vortex. After the hidden Grand Immortal Clan and several stragglers made their choices, Lu Qing arrived at the now-silent palace. Upon deducing the nature of these trials through his unique abilities, he stepped into a spatial vortex just as ancient wills began to stir within the palace depths.

As Lu Qing selected a Gate and stepped through, his entry marked the moment every individual within the Returning Ruins Secret Realm had finally commenced their chosen trial.

Deep within the colossal Immortal Palace, several ancient Wills began to stir, slowly rising from their long dormancy.

"Why have I been disturbed? Ah, I see, the Immortal Palace doors have been unsealed once more."

Initially confused, one of the Wills rapidly grasped the current situation.

With a heavy sigh that resonated like the tolling of a massive bell, it lamented: "Another hundred thousand years have slipped away..."

"Indeed, another hundred millennia have passed us by."

A second voice, sounding incredibly aged and weary from the endless cycles of time, joined the conversation.

"It has only been a hundred thousand years—just a few short naps. What are you two old fools sighing about?"

In that moment, a third voice, sharp and cold, interrupted their mourning.

"Ming Feng, you are still in your youth and do not grasp the weight of time. Naturally, you cannot sympathize with our perspective," the first Will replied.

"I have existed for over three hundred thousand years, yet you still call me young? You two old geezers better stop acting superior just because of your age. Hurry up and prepare for our duties. If the Master's affairs are delayed, do not expect me to be polite!"

The crisp voice snapped back with clear disdain.

"Very well, very well, there is no need for such haste. These youngsters won't be able to overcome the trials regardless," the bell-like voice of the first Will muttered.

"Truly, the world beyond has withered further; worthy geniuses are scarce. Last time, not even half managed to succeed. This time will likely be even more disappointing," the aged voice concurred.

"Regardless, you must all diligently execute the tasks the Master assigned. If any errors occur, beware of my fury!"

The sharp voice spoke coldly, showing zero respect despite the seniority of the other two spirits.

Though it also doubted anyone could conquer the trials established by the Master,

it remained committed to executing every instruction left behind with absolute precision.

This loyalty endured even though the Master had departed from this world hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"Fine, fine, we shall begin at once."

Sensing that the sharp-voiced Will was truly becoming irritated, the other two quickly complied.

One of the aged Wills focused its Heart and Spirit, suddenly causing dozens of glowing screens to manifest before them.

These light screens displayed the movements of the various powers as they ventured into the trial Gates.

"Let us observe which juniors have arrived to face the trials this time."

"Hmm, there are two at the Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit stage and eight at the Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit stage. The others are not worth mentioning. Eh? How did a brat at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation manage to sneak in? And he is all alone; how curious."

Observing the images on the screens, the aged voice suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"A little one at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation?"

Both the bell-like voice and the sharp voice were taken aback by this revelation.

Throughout the three times the Immortal Palace had opened, they had never witnessed a Cultivator with such a low cultivation level enter, particularly without companions.

Knowing the ruthless nature of these Cultivators, such a weakling should have been purged by others long ago.

"It is this young fellow."

Within the palace, one of the screens expanded, centering on Lu Qing’s image.

"Though his cultivation is meager, his Qi-Blood is quite remarkable. It seems he follows the Path of the Body as his primary Cultivation," the aged voice noted.

"A body-refiner? Then why is he currently within the Array Channel?" the sharp voice asked, puzzled.

"He is indeed in the Array Channel, which is precisely why I find him interesting. Despite having such a powerful physical body, he chose the path of Formations. Could it be he possesses talent in the Dao of Arrays as well?"

"No matter his talent, a four tribulations cultivation is simply too weak to clear the trials. There is no need to waste our attention. Focus on those two Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirits and the eight Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirits. If their aptitude is sufficient, they might have a ghost of a chance at passing the Master's tests."

The sharp voice made the final call.

The aged voice did not disagree, as it shared the same sentiment.

Although that four-tribulation youngster was somewhat unique, a mere four-tribulation cultivation level did not deserve their scrutiny.

Promptly, the screen showing Lu Qing diminished, while the displays for the Nine and Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirits were enlarged and brought to the forefront.

Even so, none of the three ancient Wills harbored much hope for these visitors.

During the previous two openings of the Immortal Palace, even stronger Cultivators had entered, yet the outcomes had been dismal.

None had even completed half of the trials required to reach the Immortal Palace.

If the Master had not commanded that the Returning Ruins Secret Realm open every hundred thousand years, they wouldn't have even considered letting these mediocre people defile the Immortal Palace.

Consequently, while they watched the screens, the three Wills were largely preoccupied.

Even the cold, sharp voice was lost in thought.

'Master, so many years have passed. How are you faring in the higher realm? Why have you never returned to visit?' the sharp voice pondered.

...

"So the Array Channel consists of nine distinct trials. By passing all nine, I can enter the Immortal Palace and claim its opportunities?"

Lu Qing was completely unaware that his every move was being watched.

Given his current realm and cultivation, he lacked the ability to sense the gaze of such powerful entities.

At that moment, having just stepped into the Array Channel, a wave of information flowed directly into his mind.
