I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1234: 757: Convergence at the Seventh Trial, Come and Meet Your Death

“Senior Brother Yu Jian, how much have you managed to understand?”

Qing Xii spoke up, her voice echoing in the seventh stage of the Sword Dao Channel.

“The Sword Intent here is incredibly complex. Thus far, I have only grasped about forty to fifty percent,” Yu Jian admitted with a heavy sigh.

“If you have reached nearly half, Senior Brother, then I am truly struggling, as I’ve only managed thirty percent,” Qing Xii said with a look of resignation. “It appears I may be stuck at this seventh stage, unable to maintain your pace.”

Throughout the earlier trials, Qing Xii had utilized her natural Sword Dao talent to stay by Yu Jian’s side as they cleared stage after stage.

However, her foundation was ultimately less robust than Yu Jian’s.

Despite the time that had passed, the Sword Intent of this level remained frustratingly vague, and she could only seize a small fraction of its essence.

The prospect of fully comprehending it to advance seemed increasingly slim.

“Do not lose heart,” Yu Jian said encouragingly. “We are granted a ten-year window to complete this seventh trial. Since only two or three years have elapsed, opportunity still remains.

Furthermore, even if you fail to pass, there is great value in absorbing the Sword Intent present here.

The intent stored within these Trial Sword Stones clearly represents a magnificent Sword Dao inheritance.

Studying them is immensely helpful for our overall Cultivation and growth in the way of the sword.”

“You speak the truth, Senior Brother. I have allowed myself to become too restless,” Qing Xii realized.

This realization brought her a moment of clarity.

In truth, she had long recognized that the Trial Sword Stones within this channel served as both a test and a profound gift.

The deep Sword Intent they held was, in itself, a high-level Sword Dao inheritance.

If one could master the entire set, it would surely rival the core Sword Dao Cultivation Techniques of their own Kongming Sect.

However, the obscurity of the seventh stage had hindered her progress, leading to her recent frustration.

“But Senior Brother, if I cannot advance, I won't be able to stand by your side in the later stages to confront Mo Tushan and the others,” Qing Xii said worriedly.

“There is no need for concern. They might not be able to best me. Moreover, I am not yet certain I can clear this seventh stage myself, so such worries are premature,” Yu Jian replied with a faint smile.

“With your mastery of Sword Dao, Senior Brother, I have no doubt you will succeed,” Qing Xii said, her confidence in him unwavering.

Just as Yu Jian prepared to respond, a sudden radiance manifested within the space of the seventh trial.

The two immediately tensed, their treasure swords appearing in their grips instantly. Sword light flickered as they prepared for a potential confrontation.

Having been caught in an ambush by Mo Tushan once before, they had become hyper-vigilant.

Any sudden movement made them suspect another sneak attack was imminent.

However, they soon noticed that the light was not originating from any of the seven Transmission Arrays, but rather from the very center of the chamber.

“Senior Brother Yu Jian, this doesn't look like an arrival from a different channel. Rather, it seems like...”

Qing Xii trailed off, her eyes fixed on the phenomenon.

Before she could finish, a silhouette took shape within the pillar of light.

Their Heart and Spirit tightened instantly.

Even the Old Cyan Dragon, watching from the Immortal Palace, felt a surge of tension.

He wondered if a conflict would break out between Lu Qing and the duo.

Yet, when the radiance faded and the figure was fully revealed, Yu Jian and Qing Xii stood frozen in shock.

“It’s you?”

Qing Xii’s eyes went wide as she recognized the newcomer.

She had understood that the pillar of light signaled someone had cleared the sixth stage to reach the seventh.

But she never imagined that person would be Lu Qing.

Lu Qing was a face she knew well.

She had been a witness when he made a fool of Mo Tushan, and she had even mocked Mo Tushan during the encounter.

The incredible speed Lu Qing had shown that day was burned into her memory.

The last thing she expected was to see him here, at the seventh stage of the Sword Dao Channel.

The light pillar confirmed he was advancing through the trials normally, level by level.

The idea of a cultivator with only a Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit keeping pace with them in such a difficult trial was staggering to Qing Xii.

She was well aware that many disciples from the Kongming Sect and the Sky-breaking Sword Sect, including those at the peak of Seven Tribulations Perfection, had yet to reach this far.

“So it is you two fellow Daoists here at the seventh stage. Greetings to you both.”

Lu Qing was also caught off guard upon seeing Yu Jian and Qing Xii.

He was surprised that they were still lingering at the seventh stage after all this time.

He had assumed he wouldn't run into them until the eighth or ninth level.

“Fellow Daoist, it seems you have been hiding your true strength. We were certainly mistaken about you,” Yu Jian said with a sigh.

It was now clear to him that Lu Qing had been concealing his true depth from the start.

It explained why he had the confidence to roam the Returning Ruins Secret Realm alone.

“Daoist Yu is too kind. I still owe you a debt of thanks for intervening with that sword strike,” Lu Qing said, offering his gratitude.

He remembered how Yu Jian had stepped in when Mo Tushan attacked him upon his entry into the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, allowing him to leave without a fight.

While Lu Qing was confident he could have escaped on his own,

Yu Jian’s help had spared him from having to reveal his secret techniques so early.

He held that favor in high regard.

“You flatter me, fellow Daoist. Given your true power, my assistance was hardly necessary,”

Yu Jian brushed it off. He didn't feel he had truly helped.

Considering the speed Lu Qing had displayed later, escaping Mo Tushan would have been an easy task that required no outside help.

Lu Qing merely offered a smile, choosing not to explain further.
