I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1244 - 762: Way of Cause and Effect, Curse Killing Technique, and Changing Cave Mansion (2)

“Ah Qing’s talent for cultivation is leaps and bounds beyond any student the master has ever taught!” Ming Feng remarked, nodding his head in firm consensus.

“It is true. In Ah Qing, I perceive the very reflection of our master. It is entirely possible that he will eventually ascend to the master’s own realm,” Elder Azure Dragon remarked with a heavy sigh.

“The master’s realm!”

The Black Bull and Ming Feng both trembled at the mere mention of it.

Yet, as they reflected on the diverse brilliance Lu Qing had exhibited lately, they had to concede that Elder Azure Dragon’s assessment was likely accurate.

“Should Ah Qing truly reach such heights, one can only imagine the master’s joy upon learning of it,” the Black Bull said with a hearty chuckle.

Standing nearby, Little Li watched these three formidable elders heap praise upon Lu Qing, causing him to lift his chin with immense pride.

Noticing the boy's expression, Elder Azure Dragon couldn't help but beam: “Little Li, since Ah Qing has retreated for his cultivation, why don’t we proceed with your trials?”

“I’m ready!” Little Li shouted back boldly, showing no trace of intimidation.

In a flash, his form vanished, pulled back into the depths of the spatial maze.

“The Way of Cause and Effect, the Curse Killing Technique...”

Meanwhile, within the Sword Dao Inheritance Land, Lu Qing did not immediately rush to claim the legacy. Instead, he stood contemplating the words previously spoken by Elder Azure Dragon.

According to the Elder, the only way to ensure the absolute destruction of Mo Tushan was through a high-level Curse Killing Technique.

Regrettably, his current repertoire lacked any cultivation technique centered on curses.

“It appears I must keep a sharp eye out for any cultivation methods pertaining to the Way of Cause and Effect from now on.”

Lu Qing reached a firm conclusion in his mind.

He refused to grant abominations like Mo Tushan any opportunity for resurrection.

Furthermore, he had no intention of showing mercy to the remaining disciples of the Black and White Temple scattered throughout the secret realm.

However, those objectives would have to wait until he had finished absorbing the inheritance available here.

Setting those thoughts aside for the moment, Lu Qing finally surveyed his environment.

The Sword Dao Inheritance Land was quite different from the Array Dao Inheritance Land; it was devoid of intricate patterns and complex symbols.

Within this modest space, only three Trial Sword Stones—colored gray, white, and gold—stood tall.

The aura radiating from the gray Trial Sword Stone felt intensely familiar to him.

It matched the exact Sword Intent of the Primordial Spirit Chapter from the “Gui Xu Zizai Sword” that he had previously grasped in the Sword Dao Channel.

Lu Qing walked straight toward the gray stone, triggered his Superpower, and focused his gaze upon it.

Three days passed before Lu Qing emerged from the Sword Dao Inheritance Land.

In reality, he had successfully downloaded the entirety of the inheritances within the first day.

Just as he had suspected, the Convergence and Transformation Chapters of the “Gui Xu Zizai Sword” were currently beyond his ability to fully comprehend.

Consequently, he dedicated the remaining time to analyzing the Primordial Spirit Chapter, attempting to weave its essence into his own Sword Dao Domain.

Once he had achieved a certain level of realization, he departed from the inheritance grounds.

Elder Azure Dragon and the others were not shocked by his three-day stay. If anything, they were surprised he had stayed as long as he did.

After all, Lu Qing had required less than half a day to claim the Array Dao inheritance.

Given his performance in the Sword Dao Channel, it was obvious that his affinity for the sword surpassed even his talent for arrays.

Thus, the fact that he spent more time here was notable.

Lu Qing offered no elaborate explanation for the delay.

The elders didn't press him for details either, knowing that cultivation often leads to unpredictable moments of insight.

They assumed Ah Qing had simply reached a profound level of enlightenment that required extra time to process.

Upon leaving the grounds, Lu Qing checked on Little Li’s progress. Finding that the boy was still occupied with Elder Azure Dragon’s trials, he offered a few words of support before returning to Spirit Void Peak.

As he sat cross-legged within his Cave Mansion on Spirit Void Peak, preparing to cultivate, Lu Qing suddenly paused, sensing something was wrong.

The spiritual energy inside the cave felt significantly more stagnant and thin than it had during his first visit.

“Has the spiritual energy here still not replenished after all this time?” Lu Qing’s brow furrowed.

He had previously spent years inside this cave, pushing his cultivation to the Great Success of the Five Tribulations.

That process had drained a massive amount of local energy. He hadn't expected that even after several days, the cave's reserves would still be so depleted.

“It seems every Immortal Mountain Cave Mansion has a threshold, and this one requires more time to fully recover its energy.”

Evaluating the slow rate of recovery, Lu Qing came to an understanding.

These Immortal Mountain Cave Mansions within the Immortal Palace hovered in the sky, disconnected from the earth's natural veins.

Their ability to generate spiritual energy was a result of the Gui Xu Taoist’s work.

Using peerless Divine Skills, the master had diverted spiritual veins from distant lands and anchored them within the heart of each mountain.

With these veins as a core, genius arrays were constructed to pull energy from the void and transmute it into spiritual energy.

However, this conversion process clearly had its bottlenecks.

At the very least, Spirit Void Peak’s current output could not keep pace with the demands of his cultivation.

Lu Qing checked his supply of Spirit Stones and noted they were running low. After a moment of thought, he exited the Spirit Void Peak Cave Mansion and flew toward a neighboring Immortal Mountain.

“Elder Azure Dragon did say I could live in any cave mansion I chose, so this shouldn't be a problem.”

With that thought, Lu Qing used the Gui Xu Order to claim the entrance of this new mountain.

The mountain, known as Spiritual Clarity Peak, was instantly activated, and its gates swung open for him.

Lu Qing flew inside, sealed the entrance, and began another session of closed-door cultivation.

The activation of Spiritual Clarity Peak did not escape Elder Azure Dragon’s notice for long.

“What is it, Elder Azure Dragon?”

The Black Bull, who had been watching Little Li navigate the maze, noticed the elder's shifting expression.

A look of bewilderment crossed Elder Azure Dragon’s face. “Ah Qing has just opened Spiritual Clarity Peak and entered its cave mansion for seclusion.”

The Black Bull was taken aback. “Why the sudden move to Spiritual Clarity Peak? Was something wrong with Spirit Void Peak?”

Ming Feng also looked over, curious.

“Let me investigate.”

Elder Azure Dragon shut his eyes, extending his senses. A few moments later, he opened them, looking stunned.

“The spiritual energy at Spirit Void Peak has plummeted; it’s currently at less than a tenth of its normal capacity.”

“Depleted? How is that possible? Is there a malfunction in the array?” the Black Bull asked urgently.

“That’s impossible!” Ming Feng snapped. “The arrays on the Immortal Mountains were crafted by the master himself. They don't just fail.”

“The array is functioning perfectly,” Elder Azure Dragon said, shaking his head. “The energy is returning, but the pace is slow. It will be quite a while before it reaches its peak again.”

“So Ah Qing moved to Spiritual Clarity Peak just to keep cultivating?” The Black Bull blinked, then grew even more puzzled. “But why did Spirit Void Peak drain so drastically in the first place?”

“The cause is likely Ah Qing himself.”

Elder Azure Dragon thought back to how Lu Qing had consumed nearly every elixir he had been given.

Connecting that to the sudden void of energy on the mountain, a theory took shape.

“If my suspicions are correct, the spiritual energy of Spirit Void Peak simply couldn't keep up with the sheer scale of Ah Qing's cultivation needs, resulting in that sharp drop.”

“That's preposterous. Spirit Void Peak has enough energy to support a cultivator at the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit. Ah Qing is only at the Five Tribulation stage, how could he...”

The Black Bull started to argue, but his voice trailed off.

He suddenly remembered the overwhelming power Lu Qing had unleashed against Mo Tushan and the terrifying presence of that colossal True Witch Body.

In an instant, the reason behind Elder Azure Dragon’s words became crystal clear.
