I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1241: 761: Gui Xu Free Sword, Confession
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
“To slay an Eight Tribulations Perfection prodigy while only at the Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations, and with that True Witch Body to boot—how on earth did Ah Qing pull that off?”
The assembly of Old Cyan Dragons was not only struck by disbelief but also found their minds swirling with countless unanswered questions.
Regrettably, Lu Qing remained within the trial channel. Despite their burning curiosity, they were forced to wait for his breakthrough before they could seek any explanations.
Nevertheless, based on the mastery of swordsmanship Lu Qing had already exhibited, the Old Cyan Dragons were certain of one thing.
His completion of the Sword Dao Channel was unlikely to take much longer.
If they remained patient for just a while more, Lu Qing would surely emerge from the trial.
Only then would they be able to properly interrogate him about the secrets behind his performance.
With a mere thought from the Old Cyan Dragon, the projection shifted focus back to the Sword Dao Channel.
They observed Lu Qing as he stood before the Trial Sword Stone of the seventh stage, his mind fully immersed in comprehending the Sword Intent locked within.
Elsewhere, Yu Jian and Qing Xii had made their way back to the seventh stage. Upon seeing Lu Qing deep in meditation, they kept their distance and refrained from interrupting him.
Yu Jian, in particular, wore an expression of deep hesitation.
While he had maintained a mysterious and enigmatic facade in front of others—leaving them to wonder about the ties between Lu Qing and the Sky-breaking Sword Sect—the truth was different.
His own curiosity regarding Lu Qing was just as intense as anyone else's.
He remained uncertain if Lu Qing shared a connection with the specific individual he suspected.
“Senior Brother Yu Jian, should we go over?” Qing Xii inquired via Divine Soul Transmission.
“Let us wait a moment. He is currently focused on the Sword Intent; we will speak with him once he finishes,” Yu Jian replied after a brief pause, having made his decision.
The Sword Intent of the seventh stage was notoriously complex and difficult to grasp. It wasn't something a Cultivator could master in a single day.
Yu Jian figured that the best moment to gather information would be when Lu Qing grew weary of his comprehension and paused to recover his Heart and Spirit.
Watching this through the screen, several of the Old Cyan Dragons wore strange expressions.
They suspected that Yu Jian’s strategy was likely a blunder.
Based on their observations of Lu Qing’s progress thus far, there was a high probability that he would advance straight to the eighth stage as soon as he finished this session of insight.
If Yu Jian didn't speak up now, he might lose his chance entirely.
Just as the Old Cyan Dragons predicted, events unfolded rapidly.
Roughly fifteen minutes later, Lu Qing—who had been still in meditation—suddenly snapped his eyes open.
With a casual flick of his wrist, he unleashed a streak of Sword Qi that carved a three-inch-deep mark into the Trial Sword Stone.
Immediately, a pillar of light descended, wrapping around Lu Qing’s body.
The sight left both Yu Jian and Qing Xii completely paralyzed with shock.
“This... this is...”
Qing Xii stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence as she watched the light envelop Lu Qing.
She was well aware that this radiance signaled a successful breakthrough.
But how much time had passed since he started? It had barely been more than a quarter of an hour, yet he had already succeeded?
Qing Xii’s mind was reeling.
“Friend...”
Yu Jian was equally stunned, instinctively calling out to Lu Qing.
It was too late. Though Lu Qing turned his head in confusion, the light was already beginning to fade.
Lu Qing’s form vanished from the seventh stage, transported instantly to the next level.
Yu Jian and Qing Xii were left behind, staring dumbfoundedly at the empty air where he had just stood.
After a long silence, Qing Xii spoke with great effort: “What kind of freak is he? Senior Brother Yu Jian, is it actually possible for someone to master the Sword Intent of the seventh stage in fifteen minutes? If he’s that talented, why did it take him so many years just to reach this stage?”
“I haven't the slightest idea,” Yu Jian admitted with a bitter smile. “But we both saw him break through from the sixth stage with our own eyes, didn’t we?”
Qing Xii fell silent again.
The truth was undeniable; they had witnessed the breakthrough personally.
Yet, that reality only made it harder to wrap her head around.
After another long pause, Qing Xii couldn't help but ask: “Senior Brother Yu Jian, do you truly not know where he comes from?”
“I understand your suspicion, Junior Sister, but I really have no clue about his background,” Yu Jian sighed. “If he were truly a member of our Sky-breaking Sword Sect, do you honestly think the Sword Master would allow such a talent to gamble his life in this Returning Ruins Secret Realm?”
Qing Xii hesitated; she knew he was right. No Sect would ever risk a genius of that caliber in such a dangerous place.
It was common knowledge that this realm, created by a Transformation Immortal, contained perils that defied imagination.
If a disaster occurred, even a master at the Unity Realm would find it nearly impossible to save them.
If the Kongming Sect possessed such a rare talent, they would never have permitted him to enter.
“So he really isn't from the Sky-breaking Sword Sect. But if not from our major sects, what kind of organization could possibly produce such a monster?”
Powerhouse Cultivators didn't just appear from nowhere.
The rise of an unparalleled genius required a staggering amount of Cultivation resources.
Beyond the top-tier Sects they belonged to, Qing Xii couldn't imagine any force capable of raising someone like Lu Qing.
“Who can say,” Yu Jian sighed. “Maybe it is simply destiny, or perhaps he is a genius from a top-tier power in a different Immortal Domain, out on a journey of temperament.”
“Then... Senior Brother Yu Jian, should we continue our own comprehension and try to break through?” Qing Xii asked.
Yu Jian felt momentarily lost. He looked at the Trial Sword Stone before him and lapsed into a heavy silence.
