I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1231 - 755: Breaking Through Again, Edge Revealed (Part 2)
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
The spatial labyrinth it had just occupied was a trial designed by the Old Cyan Dragon.
According to the Old Cyan Dragon, escaping the maze would signify that it had truly stepped onto the path of the Space Dao, granting it the right to inherit the profound secrets of the Azure Dragon Clan.
However, the Old Cyan Dragon had forcibly removed it before the labyrinth could be solved.
It couldn't help but wonder if its performance had been so lackluster that the trial was prematurely terminated.
Little Li felt a wave of dejection, thinking that this precious opportunity—one Ah Qing had pleaded for—had been squandered by its own incompetence.
“It isn’t what you’re thinking, dear Little Li. Your performance wasn’t the problem; we simply have some questions for you, which is why the trial was halted,” the Old Cyan Dragon said, moving quickly to offer comfort upon seeing the little creature on the verge of tears.
“Indeed, we only wish to inquire about matters regarding Ah Qing. It wasn't because you failed the test.”
Even the Black Bull and Ming Feng felt a bit frantic.
They had grown incredibly fond of the little fellow over the last two or three years.
Seeing it about to cry prompted them to offer immediate reassurance.
“About Ah Qing?” The mist in Little Li’s eyes began to vanish at those words. “Has something happened to Ah Qing?”
The three mutant beasts sighed in relief once the little one stopped crying.
Clearly, mentioning Ah Qing was the right move.
“This is the situation: Ah Qing abruptly departed from Spirit Void Peak, left the Immortal Palace, and entered the Sword Dao trial channel. Do you have any idea what his goal is?” the Old Cyan Dragon inquired.
“Ah Qing went to take on the trials again?”
Little Li had spent time watching the various trial channels with the Old Cyan Dragon and the others over the years, so it possessed some understanding of the process.
After a moment of reflection, it guessed, “Ah Qing is likely looking to settle a score with that Mo Tushan. That man attacked us several times before, and he carries an aura that Ah Qing finds truly repulsive.”
Just as they suspected!
Though their theory was confirmed, the three of them felt a growing sense of dread.
Due to the ancient commands of their master, they were forbidden from interfering with anything inside the trial channels.
This meant that if Lu Qing encountered danger within, they would be forced to watch helplessly, unable to provide any assistance.
“Why must Ah Qing be so impulsive?” The Old Cyan Dragon sighed. “At this point, we can only hope his talent is lacking and that he won't make much progress in the Sword Dao channel.”
The Black Bull and Ming Feng nodded solemnly in agreement.
If Lu Qing became stuck in the early stages of the Sword Dao channel, he wouldn't be able to catch up to Mo Tushan’s group.
In that case, a direct conflict between the two parties would naturally be avoided.
“Ah Qing’s talent in the Sword Dao is actually incredible!” Little Li suddenly declared with a serious expression. “No matter what kind of Sword Dao secret technique is used, it won't be able to stop him!”
“Little Li, what did you just say? Ah Qing’s Sword Dao talent is truly that impressive?”
“Yes, it is amazing!” Little Li nodded with conviction.
The hearts of the three beasts jumped into their throats again, and they immediately turned their gaze back to the light screen.
They were instantly stunned.
A pillar of light was currently descending upon Lu Qing.
They understood exactly what that light represented.
It was the signal that he had cleared the first stage and was being prepared for transport to the next level.
In the short window of time they had spent talking to Little Li, Lu Qing had already conquered the first stage and was moving to the second.
But how could it be so fast?
Disbelief filled their eyes.
A premonition struck them; were they about to witness another legendary performance from Lu Qing, similar to his run through the Array Channel?
“To think that this Sword Dao trial is actually less complicated than the Array trial.”
Lu Qing mused to himself as his form materialized within the second stage of the Sword Dao channel.
He hadn't anticipated the Sword Dao trial would be so direct.
The requirement was simply to grasp the Sword Intent from the Trial Sword Stone and replicate it, leaving a sufficiently deep mark on the stone to advance.
It was certainly much simpler than the Array trial channel, which required dismantling layer after layer of complex formation screens.
Naturally, this was largely due to Lu Qing’s unique superpower.
The task of comprehending and mimicking Sword Intent posed no challenge for him at all.
Furthermore, he possessed a massive accumulation of Sword Dao knowledge.
His progress through these trials was proving to be even faster than his time in the Array channel.
“It’s true; this Sword Dao trial channel also holds a complete set of Sword Dao inheritances.”
Lu Qing observed the Sword Intent radiating from the stone before him; it shared a consistent essence with the first stage, confirming his theory.
He immediately activated his superpower to download the internal inheritance.
Because he needed to clear the stages rapidly to overtake Mo Tushan and the others, he didn't bother using his own foundation to study it this time.
Instead, he let his superpower handle the work.
The superpower quickly finished downloading and simulating the inheritance from the Trial Sword Stone, and Lu Qing integrated the knowledge.
A moment later, Lu Qing’s eyes snapped open. He formed a sword gesture with his fingers and released a burst of Sword Qi, which slammed into the Trial Sword Stone.
Poof!
With a soft sound, a mark appeared on the stone.
It was exactly three inches deep, with perfect precision.
A beam of light descended, wrapping around Lu Qing and whisking him away to the third stage.
“He finished the second stage in only fifteen minutes?!”
Back in the Immortal Palace, the three observers gasped at the sight.
Lu Qing’s pace in the Sword Dao trial channel was exceeding even his record-breaking run in the Array channel.
Was it possible that his talent for the Sword Dao was even more terrifying than his talent for the Array Dao?
They found it hard to believe, yet they held their breath and watched the screen intently, refusing to miss a single second.
Swish!
Transported by the light, Lu Qing’s figure suddenly appeared in the third stage of the Sword Dao channel.
His arrival immediately caught the attention of the other cultivators present.
“There are actually people already in the third stage?”
Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't encountered anyone in the first two stages, but several people were currently attempting to clear this third level.
While every stage had a set time limit, these cultivators were likely those who had failed in other channels and were now testing their luck here.
“It’s that Five Tribulations brat!”
The number of cultivators in the third stage was small, and they were shocked to see the newcomer was Lu Qing.
They remembered this Five Tribulations cultivator clearly—he was the one who had the audacity to insult and mock Mo Tushan earlier.
Even after several years, they recognized him instantly.
Some widened their eyes in confusion. “Why is he in the Sword Dao channel now? Wasn't he supposed to be in the Array channel?”
One particular Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator, who had failed the Array channel and come here to try again, looked at Lu Qing with shock.
He recalled Lu Qing’s legendary performance in the Array channel.
Given that level of skill, he should have still been progressing there. Why switch?
Had even he reached his limit and failed the later stages of the Array channel?
Lu Qing ignored the stares and walked straight toward the Trial Sword Stone to begin his comprehension.
However, such a bold move naturally irritated some of the more powerful figures there.
A few, remembering the speed Lu Qing had shown when taunting Mo Tushan, watched him with cold eyes.
A hand glowing with mana reached out to grab Lu Qing’s shoulder.
“Kid, do you not understand how a queue works? You dare to step ahead of us with a mere Five Tribulations cultivation...”
“Scram!”
Before the man could finish his sentence, a brilliant flash of Sword Light erupted. With blinding speed, it slashed toward the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
In the next instant, a piercing scream filled the air.
The arm that had been gathering mana fell to the floor.
Furthermore, due to the devastating nature of the Sword Intent, the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator felt as if thousands of needles of Sword Qi were tearing through his Meridians. He collapsed to the ground, howling in agony.
This sudden, violent turn of events left every other cultivator in the third stage frozen in shock.
