I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1290 - 789: Top-grade Spirit Stone, Accumulating Power
Previously on I Can See Through All Things' Information...
The little box held by Lu Qing came from the primary vault of the Gongsu Family.
This small box alone qualifies as a Spiritual Artifact.
Back then, it had been placed with great reverence right in the heart of the area storing spirit stones, highlighting how invaluable the contents truly were.
The items within this small box proved to be of immense worth.
Upon opening it, Lu Qing uncovered ten radiant spirit stones that gleamed like stars.
Though they lacked any outward spiritual charm, their shimmering glow was sufficient to captivate even a Primordial Spirit realm cultivator.
Lu Qing himself experienced a deep resonance in his heart and soul.
Top-grade Spirit Stones.
Through his special ability, Lu Qing had already examined them, confirming that these ten star-resembling spirit stones, hiding their spiritual charm, were none other than the fabled Top-grade Spirit Stones.
These truly count as supreme treasures.
Top-grade spiritual stones may be rare, yet certain powerful sects and noble clans manage to possess a few in their reserves.
Top-grade Spirit Stones stand apart, however; they represent genuine rarities that are nearly impossible to obtain.
Such stones' scarcity even exceeds that of certain top-grade spiritual medicines.
Only the depths of major spirit stone veins can yield Top-grade Spirit Stones.
Furthermore, they emerge in very scarce numbers, since a vast spirit stone vein might produce just one or two at most.
Considering their extraordinary value, Lu Qing's heart surged with boundless delight upon discovering ten Top-grade Spirit Stones in the vault.
"From specific accounts in the Immortal Palace’s heritage, a cultivator at Primordial Spirit realm Nine Tribulations Perfection benefits greatly from Top-grade Spirit Stones when striving to advance to the Unity Realm Stage.
For me, though the Primordial Spirit Nine Tribulations might not mark my ceiling, pushing beyond it and shattering those limits would surely gain massive assistance from Top-grade Spirit Stones."
Prior to departing the Immortal Palace, Lu Qing had absorbed and emulated the legacies from all eight corridors inside.
Through this, he uncovered numerous cultivation mysteries.
In particular, he acquired deep insights into the remarkable applications of Top-grade Spirit Stones.
These stones offer yet another extraordinary benefit for shattering boundaries and attaining new realms.
What elevates their status to unparalleled value is this unique property.
The Gongsu Family probably preserved these Top-grade Spirit Stones for their patriarch to employ upon hitting Primordial Spirit Nine Tribulations Perfection.
Yet today, they all belong to Lu Qing as his spoils.
Once he inventoried the gains, Lu Qing turned his mind to plotting his forthcoming steps.
His assault on Zhou Tian City this round brought tremendous spoils, though it was bound to draw the Holy Alliance's scrutiny.
Opponents could very well have deduced who he was by now.
Still, Lu Qing remained unperturbed.
Earlier, his divination of the Five Treasure Taoist's and Ye Qingzhu's locations had already stirred the Holy Alliance.
Given the Holy Alliance's vast network of intelligence, they must have swiftly pinned the suspicions on his return.
The capture of the Five Treasure Taoist and Ye Qingzhu stemmed directly from his actions, after all.
No way could the Holy Alliance ignore such an obvious link.
From Nangong Yuanwu's earlier revelations, Lu Qing knew the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison's position, a place fraught with peril.
It sits not just in the Holy Alliance's central stronghold, shielded by formidable arrays,
but also under the hidden watch of countless mighty experts, rendering it nearly impossible for even a Primordial Spirit Nine Tribulations powerhouse to get close, much less extract prisoners.
Only overwhelming might could overcome it.
That's precisely why, after separating from Nangong Yuanwu, Lu Qing rushed straight to Zhou Tian City.
Zhou Tian City held the cultivation materials essential for his progress.
Should he manage to ascend one or two realms further, no force in the whole Heavenly Origin Great World would daunt him.
This held true even against a Unity Realm Stage expert manifesting via Divine Split.
With these thoughts, Lu Qing addressed Little Yan and Little Li: "Gaining all these resources now presents the perfect chance to retreat into seclusion and refine them."
"Brother, aren't you planning to save your companions?" Little Yan inquired.
"Not yet; the moment isn't ripe," Lu Qing answered. "Our priority must be bolstering our personal power first."
Regarding the Five Treasure Taoist and Ye Qingzhu's well-being, Lu Qing held little anxiety.
The Holy Alliance had seized them from the start as bait to draw him out,
so provided he stayed hidden, their lives ought to remain secure.
Thus, remaining unseen proved the wise course; without locating him, the Holy Alliance held no leverage.
Though Lu Qing desired their rescue, he refused to endanger himself recklessly.
He held no real debt to the Five Treasure Taoist or Ye Qingzhu, in truth.
Quite the opposite—he had repeatedly preserved their lives in the past.
For this occasion, succeeding in freeing them would be ideal, but failure meant the whole Holy Alliance could serve as their tomb.
In the days ahead, Lu Qing plunged beneath the earth, locating a vast cave.
Next, he erected several arrays to mask causality, blocking any external probes.
With preparations finished, he commenced another phase of secluded cultivation.
Deep in the expansive cavern, Lu Qing arranged a Spirit Gathering Array with top-grade spiritual stones. Upon activation, an intense, refined spiritual charm poured forth from them.
Lu Qing circulated his cultivation method, drawing in and purifying this pristine spiritual charm within himself.
At once, his stagnant cultivation started climbing steadily once more.
At the same time, as Lu Qing delved into his seclusion,
inside the Holy Alliance, a majestic hall boasting numerous thrones hosted over a dozen formidable presences seated upon them.
Should any outsider cultivator behold this sight, shock would undoubtedly seize them.
