I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1250 - 765:
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
Although these two legacies were incomplete, they proved exceptionally profound for Lu Qing at his current level, significantly expanding his horizons and elevating his understanding of cultivation.
One of them, the "Nine Seals of the Divine Dragon," had been left behind by the Exotic Beast Suan Ni during ancient times, over a hundred thousand years ago.
The father of this Suan Ni was a legendary mutant beast known as the "Ancestor Dragon."
Recalling the mutant beast named "Ancestor Dragon," Lu Qing thought back to the secrets of the Dragon Clan he had just heard from Old Cyan Dragon.
"A potent expert of the Dragon Clan named 'Ancestor Dragon'?" Upon hearing this, Old Cyan Dragon’s expression turned skeptical. "I have never encountered such an expert in the records of the Dragon Clan. Furthermore, the name 'Ancestor Dragon' is not something just anyone can claim. No member of the Dragon Clan could endure the massive karma associated with that title."
"Senior, does the title 'Ancestor Dragon' hold a particular significance?" Lu Qing asked, his interest piqued.
"Of course. Within the Dragon Clan, the Ancestor Dragon is a figure beyond current reality. Aside from the Ancestor Witch of the ancient Witch clan, which Dragon Clan member would dare assume such a name? No mutant beast has the capacity to bear that title," Old Cyan Dragon stated with gravity.
"It seems that is the case."
Lu Qing felt a tremor in his heart and soul as he piece together various fragments of thought.
"Ah Qing, why the sudden inquiry? Is it possible there is a Dragon Clan member outside arrogant enough to call themselves 'Ancestor Dragon'?"
A look of disbelief crossed Old Cyan Dragon’s face.
If such a thing were true, that member of the Dragon Clan would be incredibly reckless.
Do they not fear their very spine being snapped by the weight of such immense karma!
"I am not entirely sure of the specifics; I simply heard it mentioned by others and felt curious," Lu Qing clarified.
Old Cyan Dragon shook his head dismissively. "It is likely just some ignorant and fearless youth of the Dragon Clan. Pay it no mind; anyone daring to use that name will surely not live long."
That might not be true...
Lu Qing thought back to the data he had retrieved from the imprint.
That Suan Ni, identified as one of the nine sons of the "Ancestor Dragon," had already reached the Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations realm more than a hundred millennia ago.
It stood to reason that the "Ancestor Dragon" had existed for an equally vast period.
Reflecting on Old Cyan Dragon's explanation regarding the weight of the name "Ancestor Dragon," Lu Qing felt as though he was on the verge of uncovering a hidden truth.
However, his current information was too sparse to fully grasp the reality hidden in the shadows.
Ultimately, the records from Suan Ni were over a hundred thousand years old and impossible to verify now.
He decided to wait for a future chance to investigate the matter further.
"Seniors, since Little Li is currently in seclusion, I will refrain from bothering them. Having just achieved a breakthrough, I wish to exit the Immortal Palace for a time to refresh my spirit. Would that be alright?"
Lu Qing dropped the subject of the "Ancestor Dragon" and shifted the conversation.
"What is your reason for wanting to leave the Immortal Palace?" Old Cyan Dragon inquired.
The Black Bull and Ming Feng also turned their attention toward him.
They remembered the chaos Lu Qing had caused during his last excursion, where he had even ended the life of an Eight Tribulations Perfection Primordial Spirit realm expert.
Lu Qing gave a small smile. "It is nothing major. I simply wish to go out and dispose of some trash."
...
Shortly after, Lu Qing arrived at the exterior of the Immortal Palace, standing once more on the plaza facing the eight spatial vortexes.
This time, however, the plaza was teeming with activity, filled with numerous powerful experts who were waiting there.
These individuals belonged to various major Sects; they had attempted to navigate the channels over the years but had been disqualified.
Among the crowd were Lu Qing’s intended targets: the Primordial Spirit realm disciples of the Black and White Temple.
As they watched Lu Qing walk toward the group and remembered his parting words, Old Cyan Dragon spoke from within the Immortal Palace.
"It seems the closed-door disciple we picked for the master possesses a rather intense killing intent," he remarked.
"A strong killing intent is a virtue!" the Black Bull grunted. "The Master was far too kind-hearted in the past, always granting mercy, which led to a catastrophic error. Had he been cold-blooded enough to kill that individual, the Returning Ruins Immortal Palace would not be in its current state."
"Be quiet, you foolish bull! Do not speak nonsense regarding the master!" Ming Feng snapped coldly.
"Why? Did I say something that wasn't true?"
The Black Bull did not back down as he usually did, instead glaring back at Ming Feng.
"If the master hadn't been so soft, how could that traitor have found the chance to let those demons inside, causing such a disaster?"
Ming Feng stared at the Black Bull, a chilling aura radiating from his frame.
His devotion to the master was absolute, and he would not permit anyone to cast doubt upon him.
The Black Bull met Ming Feng’s eyes without blinking, showing no fear.
"Enough, both of you need to settle down," Old Cyan Dragon cut in, feeling a headache coming on as he stepped between them to prevent a physical brawl.
"If Ah Qing returns and finds you two fighting, don't go scaring him."
At the mention of Lu Qing, Ming Feng gave a cold snort, pulling back his aura and looking away.
The Black Bull also broke eye contact, ending the dispute.
Old Cyan Dragon let out a sigh.
This pair almost came to blows every time this topic was raised.
In truth, he knew that Ming Feng actually agreed with the Black Bull's assessment.
After all, among the three of them, Ming Feng was the one with the most lethal nature.
However, Ming Feng had been by the master's side since he was young, viewing him as a father figure and holding him in the highest esteem.
No matter how logical the Black Bull's points were, Ming Feng could not tolerate any questioning of the master's character.
Because of the argument, a heavy, awkward silence fell over the Immortal Palace.
Fortunately, the tension was soon broken by movement on the light screen.
The three mutant beasts turned their focus back to the display.
In the projection inside the Immortal Palace, Lu Qing was gradually nearing the crowd gathered by the trial channels.
His unexpected arrival immediately caught the eyes of the powerful figures present.
The crowd began to buzz as they noticed Lu Qing.
He was certainly not a stranger to them.
His previous act of openly mocking Mo Tushan in front of so many experts had left a lasting impression on everyone.
Several experts in the crowd widened their eyes in shock.
These were the ones who had personally seen Lu Qing conquer the array channel and the Sword Dao channel.
Those who had been in the Sword Dao channel were particularly startled, having seen Lu Qing kill a disciple from the Black and White Temple with their own eyes.
They wondered why he would show his face here, knowing so many Black and White Temple disciples were present.
Furthermore, why was he back? Had he been disqualified as well?
That seemed unlikely; given his skill in the trials, he shouldn't have been kicked out so early.
Lu Qing remained composed despite being the target of so many gazes filled with shock, suspicion, and dread.
He did a quick sweep of the area and noted that Yu Jian and the other Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit experts were absent.
They were clearly still occupied within the trial channels.
That was fine, as he hadn't come for them anyway.
Lu Qing’s eyes eventually locked onto a group of about a dozen figures dressed in black and white Daoist robes.
They were the reason for his visit.
"Brat, what are you looking at?"
The disciples of the Black and White Temple felt irritated under Lu Qing's cold gaze.
As members of the Black and White Temple, they were used to being the ones looking down on others and enjoying their fear.
When had a mere Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit kid ever dared to look at them with such blatant disrespect?
Immediately, a disciple at the Six Tribulations Perfection Primordial Spirit realm from the Black and White Temple conjured a black magic palm, lunging toward Lu Qing.
He yelled as he attacked, "You showed up at the perfect time! Since Senior Brother Tu Shan isn't here, I'll just capture you and present you to him myself!"
The black magic palm was saturated with power, radiating a murderous energy as it moved.
Even with the suppression of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, the attack was terrifyingly strong, causing the surrounding experts to turn pale and scramble backward.
But just as the black magic palm was about to reach Lu Qing, a brilliant flash of sword light erupted.
