I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1289 - 788: Bountiful Harvest

"Have you worked it out yet, exactly what took place?"

In the Inner City of Zhou Tian City, a solemn middle-aged man dressed in a Daoist robe featuring thunder and lightning designs questioned gravely.

Seven or eight figures radiating Primordial Spirit auras positioned themselves behind him, as a handful of women lay sprawled on the ground ahead, their hair tousled and wild.

"Hall Master, we've pieced it together,"

A youth dressed in a Thunder Magic Robe advanced to deliver his account.

"A enigmatic black-robed intruder donning a Ghost Face Mask burst onto the scene, cleaving Zhou Tian City clean in two with a single sword strike and shattering the Circulation Star Array.

Next, he swiftly eliminated the Gongshu Clan Leader along with multiple Primordial Spirit Ancestors from the Gongsu Family.

After that, he stormed the Inner City and raided numerous Treasury Vaults belonging to the Gongsu Family.

As he departed, he wiped out every Primordial Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Gongsu Family concealed within the Inner City."

The faces of the seven or eight upright figures shifted through various shades of emotion as they heard the youth's briefing.

It couldn't be helped; the incidents the youth described were far too astonishing.

From parting Zhou Tian City with a lone sword to slaying the clan leader and a host of Gongsu Family Primordial Spirit Realm experts, these deeds demanded overwhelming might.

Zhou Tian City in particular, reinforced by the Gongsu Family across hundreds of thousands of years, was deemed utterly unassailable.

The Circulation Star Array held fame as one of the mightiest formations across the Heavenly Origin Great World.

In theory, not even the pinnacle Primordial Spirits at the Eighth or Ninth Tribulations could pierce it swiftly.

But now, claims arose that a single sword had demolished Zhou Tian City?

The notion struck everyone as wildly implausible at first.

The solemn middle-aged man himself appeared profoundly rattled.

Gazing at the youth, he inquired with a heavy tone, "Are you certain your account holds true?"

"To the Hall Master, all I recounted was observed by the citizens beyond the city walls—it's entirely accurate.

I went so far as to apply the Soul Searching Technique on the Divine Souls of several opportunists who slipped into the Inner City amid the turmoil.

Their revelations matched precisely what the residents relayed," the youth affirmed with gravity.

Truth be told, upon first hearing these details, his disbelief surpassed that of anyone present.

Deeming it so absurd, he promptly deployed the Soul Searching Technique against a few Golden Core Realm trespassers exploiting the disorder.

To his astonishment, their testimonies verified every bit of it!

"Cleft Zhou Tian City with one sword..."

The solemn middle-aged man whispered to himself, his inner turmoil intensifying.

Assuming the youth's words rang true, the shadowy assailant who ravaged Zhou Tian City possessed unfathomable strength, far beyond what he could challenge.

Yet how had the Gongsu Family drawn the ire of such a horrifying foe?

This riddle baffled the solemn middle-aged man as well.

Just then, the leading young woman among the weeping group, clad in opulent attire, cried out abruptly.

"Hall Master, you have to avenge our Gongsu Family! There's no doubt—that vile fiend is identical to the one who slew our Seventh Master and plundered the secondary treasury; his garb matches that villain's exactly!"

"What are you claiming?!" The solemn middle-aged man jolted at her outburst and pressed urgently, "Are you positive the enigmatic destroyer of Zhou Tian City is the very same individual from before?"

As the spouse of a core Gongsu Family descendant, the young woman commanded notable status in the clan.

Her mere Foundation Establishment Cultivation had spared her from the catastrophe.

Familiar with those prior incidents, she affirmed with a visage twisted in loathing.

"No mistake about it—the mask that fiend sported is identical; it has to be the culprit from that time!"

Instantly, the solemn middle-aged man's hand quivered, his inner dread spilling over uncontrollably.

He recognized that the nightmare haunting the Holy Alliance for decades had at last materialized.

Rising abruptly, he declared, "Come on, we head back to the Holy Alliance without delay!"

With that figure's emergence, swift notification was imperative.

The fate of the Gongsu Family no longer factored into his thoughts.

A lineage bereft of nearly all its Primordial Spirit Realm and Golden Core Realm forces hardly merited attention now.

Should some ancient powerhouse linger beyond the starry expanse, the Gongsu Family's ousting from the Thirty-Six Upper Clans remained unavoidable.

A clan sliding into obscurity like this deserved no further concern from him.

...

"Ah Qing, we've hit the jackpot this round!"

Inside a modest treasury, Little Li tumbled joyfully through heaps of Spirit Stones, his features alight with delight.

Traces of awe still flickered in the gazes of Little Yan and Xiao Bai.

Lu Qing himself brimmed with thrill.

He had already cracked open the assorted treasuries and inventoried their contents.

That included the Storage Magical Treasures seized from the Gongsu Family Primordial Spirits he felled.

The haul proved immensely bountiful.

Bountiful to the point where even Lu Qing felt a surge of excitement.

While the Magical Treasures and Elixirs abounded, they offered Lu Qing scant real value.

Yet the Spirit Stones, his prime interest, delivered a massive windfall.

Echoing his prior raid on the Gongsu Family's secondary treasury, these vaults brimmed mostly with middle-grade Spirit Stones, low-grade ones barely present.

Lu Qing's rough calculation pegged the total from the treasuries and the Primordial Spirits' Storage Magical Treasures at more than two million middle-grade Spirit Stones!

Top-grade Spirit Stones numbered over twenty thousand!

Twenty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones—that figure loomed staggeringly vast.

Recall that Lu Qing's earlier plunder of the Gongsu Family's secondary treasury netted just a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

Even during the uproarious Tianshu City auction, the High Grade Spirit Artifact known as the Immortal Golden Bell fetched a mere fifteen thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

"It's no surprise for a prestigious lineage spanning hundreds of thousands of years—their reserves run truly deep."

Lu Qing exhaled deeply.

Still, he grasped the reasons behind the Gongsu Family's abundance of top-grade Spirit Stones.

Primarily, it stemmed from their age-old hoarding.

Additionally, the spiritual essence in top-grade Spirit Stones was so refined that refining it demanded formidable power.

Typical Primordial Spirits viewed middle-grade Spirit Stones as lavish for Cultivation.

Deploying top-grade ones for Cultivation amounted to sheer extravagance.

Solely those at the late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm of the Seven Tribulations or higher could truly harness its essence without squandering it.

Thus, the bulk of the Gongsu Family's Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators never qualified to employ top-grade Spirit Stones in Cultivation.

As years passed, the clan's top-grade Spirit Stones simply piled higher.

In contrast, middle-grade Spirit Stones saw heavier depletion.

Hence, despite pooling multiple treasuries, only two million emerged.

All the same, be it the two million middle-grade Spirit Stones or the twenty thousand top-grade ones, they represented a tremendous boon for Lu Qing.

Middle-grade Spirit Stones, while less potent, still offered modest gains.

Their sheer volume promised substantial advances in his Cultivation.

Furthermore, should he forgo personal use, handing them to Little Yan and Little Li would furnish superb Cultivation aids.

Those twenty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones guaranteed major leaps in his Cultivation.

At minimum, enduring another one or two Primordial Spirit Tribulations seemed assured.

On top of that, Lu Qing uncovered a startling discovery.

He gingerly retrieved a petite box.
