I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 277

"Master, did you break through?"

Wei Zian sensed the powerful aura emanating from his master and asked excitedly.

"Yes, and I must thank Brother Lu Qing. If it weren't for his guidance, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly."

Mago was equally delighted. He had never expected to reach the Internal Organs Realm so soon.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "You had already accumulated enough. I merely helped you break through that final barrier."

"Doctor Lu Qing, what about me? What about me?"

Seeing that his master had broken through under Lu Qing's guidance, Wei Zian eagerly inquired.

"Your staff technique has also shown significant progress lately..."

Lu Qing offered some guidance to Wei Zian as well, which, though it didn't immediately result in a breakthrough, still brought him considerable gains.

Hu Zezhi, who had been watching the commotion from the side, saw the significant progress Mago and Wei Zian had made under Lu Qing's guidance. She couldn't help but admire Lu Qing even more. Unfortunately, her leg injury had not fully healed yet. Although she could walk without much trouble, she couldn't engage in martial arts. Otherwise, she would have asked Lu Qing for some guidance as well.

In the following time, Mago and Wei Zian, who had gained a lot, continued to practice their techniques in the courtyard. After more than an hour passed, the sun was setting, but Master and Lin Zhirui had not yet returned.

Lu Qing looked towards the direction of the Sacred Mountain.

"Strange, according to Zhirui, the time spent comprehending the Sacred Pool shouldn't be long. Why haven't Master and the others returned yet?"

"Perhaps the old doctor had some insights, so he's taking a bit longer to come back," Mago said.

"Maybe..."

Lu Qing nodded, but for some reason, a feeling of unease crept into his heart. Upon realizing this unease, Lu Qing's heart tightened, and he became alert.

With his cultivation at this level, Lu Qing's soul power was already far stronger than that of many who had reached the Precelestial Realm. Moreover, with the enhancement of the Soul Talisman and Earth Spirit Pearl, his senses regarding certain unseen matters were naturally heightened. For something to make him uneasy, there must be a reason behind it.

"Could something have happened to Master?"

Lu Qing suddenly stood up, his gaze sharp, fixed in the direction of the Sacred Mountain.

"Brother Lu Qing, what's wrong?" Mago asked in confusion.

"I suspect something has happened to Master."

Lu Qing's expression was serious, and the feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger.

"Something happened to Doctor Chen?" Mago was startled, then became anxious. "What should we do?"

Hu Zezhi and Wei Zian also looked worried. They did not doubt Lu Qing's words because, along the way, they had witnessed too many of his miraculous methods. Since he said the old doctor might be in trouble, it must be based on some feeling.

"I need to go to the Sacred Mountain. You all stay here and wait. Remember, do not leave the courtyard. This place is under the jurisdiction of Tianji Tower, so ordinary people shouldn't dare to intrude. Right, Senior?"

Lu Qing directed this last sentence towards the outside of the courtyard. Mago and the others were first taken aback, then turned to look outside.

"Young friend, you are indeed impressive."

An elderly man with white hair and beard, exuding an ethereal and sage-like aura, walked into the courtyard. There was a look of surprise in his eyes as he gazed at Lu Qing. He hadn't expected that with his cultivation level, his presence would be detected by this young man who wasn't even at the Precelestial Realm.

"Greetings, Senior. You must be Lord Zhirui's master, the Tower Master of Tianji Tower?" Lu Qing saluted the sage-like elder and got straight to the point.

"No need for formalities. Did you say you wish to go to the Sacred Mountain?"

The sage-like elder did not deny it.

"Indeed, my master went to the Sacred Mountain to comprehend its mysteries but has not returned. I am worried and wish to bring him back. Does Senior know why my master hasn't returned?"

Lu Qing stared at the sage-like elder with a piercing gaze. The Tower Master of Tianji Tower had not shown himself in the past two days, and his sudden appearance here must have a reason. Under the pressure of Lu Qing's gaze, the sage-like elder, despite his high level of cultivation, felt a chill. He was shocked. This feeling only appeared when he sensed danger. This young man before him was likely far more formidable than he had imagined.

However, as the master of a sect, the elder had profound self-control. Though he was shaken inside, his face revealed nothing.

"Young friend, you are correct. I just received a message from Zhirui. Your master indeed encountered some trouble on the Sacred Mountain."

"What kind of trouble?"

Lu Qing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes. This intensified the chill felt by the sage-like elder. He was astonished. How terrifying was this young man, who could make even someone at his level feel threatened?

"Zhirui's message said that your master had finished comprehending the Sacred Pool and was about to descend the mountain when he encountered monks from Xuankong Mountain. They noticed the Light of Merit on your master and stopped him."

"Xuankong Mountain, one of the Four Great Secret Lands?" Lu Qing was taken aback.

"That's right."

"Why did the people of Xuankong Mountain stop my master?"

"Your master possesses the Light of Merit, which is a rare protective light that even few in Xuankong Mountain have cultivated. The monks were curious and wanted to engage in a discussion with your master. Young friend, there's no need to worry. The monks of Xuankong Mountain are known for their compassion. They won't harm your master."

"If they are so compassionate, why did they prevent my master from descending the mountain?" Lu Qing responded coldly. "Could it be that they are taking advantage of my master's pure nature, knowing that he won't refuse them?"

The sage-like elder was momentarily at a loss for words. He couldn't explain it himself. He also found it odd that the monks of Xuankong Mountain would stop the old doctor. Although the Light of Merit was rare, it wasn't unprecedented in Xuankong Mountain. It shouldn't have warranted such a fuss.

At that moment, the sage-like elder's robe trembled slightly. He took out a jade token from his robe and examined it with his mind. His body shook, and his expression became increasingly grave.

"Senior, did Lord Zhirui send another message?"

Lu Qing recognized that the jade token in the elder's hand was similar to the one Lin Zhirui had given his master earlier.

"It is indeed from Zhirui."

The sage-like elder nodded slowly, his expression still heavy.

"What did Lord Zhirui say?"

Seeing the elder's expression, Lu Qing had a bad premonition.

"Zhirui said that the monks of Xuankong Mountain want your master to join their order. Your master refused, so they are now using a formation to trap him, attempting to forcibly convert him."

"What?!"

Lu Qing's anger could no longer be contained upon hearing this, and a terrifying cold light flashed in his eyes. The aura emanating from him made the sage-like elder's heart contract. He sensed an extremely dangerous energy from Lu Qing, one that could threaten his life.

"Brother Lu Qing, what are we waiting for? Let's go save Doctor Chen!" Mago, also enraged, shouted from the side.

Although he didn't know what "conversion" meant, he understood that those so-called monks were using a formation to trap the old doctor.

"Yes, Doctor Lu Qing, let's go storm the Sacred Mountain!" Wei Zian gripped his iron staff tightly.

However, their words made Lu Qing's mind clear.

"No, I will go alone. You stay here and wait for news."

"But..."

"No buts!" Lu Qing waved his hand to stop Mago from speaking. "The suppressive force on the Sacred Mountain is not something you can withstand. If you go, it will be too much of a burden on your bodies."

Mago and Wei Zian were stunned.

They remembered seeing Bai Bufan and others climbing the heavenly ladder earlier. Even a Martial Grandmaster like Bai Bufan couldn't climb very high on the Sacred Mountain. If they went, they might not even make it halfway up.

Thinking of this, both felt a deep sense of frustration, hating their own weakness for being unable to help in such a critical situation.

"Don't worry, I will bring Master back safely."

Seeing the frustration on their faces, Lu Qing reassured them.

"Young friend, are you sure you want to go to the Sacred Mountain?" the sage-like elder asked.

"My master is in danger. As his disciple, how could I sit back and do nothing?" Lu Qing said calmly. "But, Senior, I have one request."

"Speak, young friend."

"This Miss Hu bears the signs of calamity on her brow. Senior should have noticed it as well. Can you tell when this calamity might occur? While I'm away, could I trouble you to keep an eye on her to prevent anyone from taking advantage?"

Lu Qing noticed the characters floating around the elder, indicating that he was trustworthy for the time being. However, he still used a soul transmission to secretly instruct Xiao Li, who was inside the house accompanying Xiao Yan for her nap.

The sage-like elder glanced at Hu Zezhi's brow and finally nodded. "Rest assured, young friend. I will stay in this courtyard until you return."

"Then I must thank

you in advance, Senior."

Lu Qing bowed deeply to the elder, then in a flash, his figure was already moving out of the courtyard.

"Mago, keep an eye on Xiao Yan. Don't let her run around when she wakes up."

With these final words, Lu Qing's figure disappeared.

His speed was so astonishing that even the sage-like elder was shocked.

"Who exactly is this young man, Lu Qing?"

The elder was filled with uncertainty. Never before had a youth made him feel so unfathomable. He had a premonition that Lu Qing's trip to the Sacred Mountain would surely cause a great storm.

Leaving Tianji Tower, Lu Qing immediately used his movement technique to head toward the Sacred Mountain. To increase his speed, he even activated the talisman in his brow acupoint.

A faint yellow light flashed across his skin, and Lu Qing's speed suddenly increased. His entire body was like a wisp of smoke, rapidly approaching the Sacred Mountain.

His speed was so fast that the warriors along the way could only sense a figure flashing past. By the time they realized it and tried to get a better look, Lu Qing was long gone.

Soon, Lu Qing reached the northern part of the city, near the heavenly ladder. Even now, there were still many people gathered at the foot of the ladder, occasionally cheering.

In fact, the crowd was even larger than when Bai Bufan and the others were competing earlier.

It turned out that there was a competition happening on the heavenly ladder.

"Wow, Fairy Li truly lives up to being a true disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. Not only is she unparalleled in beauty, ranking on the Beauties List, but her martial arts skills are also so profound. She has already climbed to the 160th step, not far behind Bai Bufan and the others from the other day!"

"Sacred Maiden Zhao is also impressive, only one step behind Fairy Li. I think she might even catch up soon."

"But that little princess from the Long family is lagging a bit, three or four steps behind."

"I never thought we'd be lucky enough to witness a competition between three Beauties List fairies. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

"Too bad they're all wearing veils. We can't see their peerless faces."

"It doesn't matter if we can't see their faces. Just watching their graceful figures is enough to make my life complete!"

...

As Lu Qing approached the area near the heavenly ladder, various discussions entered his ears. He realized that the competition on the ladder involved several graceful female warriors. Judging from the chatter, they seemed to be renowned beauties from the Beauties List.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Qing might have been interested in stopping to watch the excitement. But now, with his master's safety on his mind, he had no time for such distractions. He maneuvered around the crowd and reached the base of the ladder. With a leap, he ascended dozens of steps in a single bound.

With another light step, his body shot upwards again, swiftly ascending several dozen more steps.

In this way, Lu Qing's feet barely touched the ground as he soared upwards, covering dozens of steps each time.

In just a few moments, he had reached the vicinity of the graceful female warriors. But without pausing, he continued to leap past them, rapidly climbing higher.

With incredible speed, he ascended the ladder, eventually vanishing into the clouds, disappearing from everyone's sight.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard. It wasn't until Lu Qing's figure disappeared into the mist that the crowd realized what had happened.

Then, the crowd erupted into a frenzy.

"Did I just see someone climb the ladder?"

"You didn't see wrong. Someone did climb up!"

"But that speed was too fast. Did the ladder's mysterious power disappear?"

"Disappear, my foot! Didn't you see Fairy Li and the others still panting on it?"

"Then who could it be, climbing the ladder so effortlessly?"

"Not just effortlessly. It was like he was flying! His speed was at least ten times faster than the young man in brocade who reached the 200th step two days ago!"

"Not only was his speed over ten times faster, but his height also far surpassed it. Didn't you see? He's already vanished into the clouds. That's at least 300 steps up!"

"Who could this be? Even a Precelestial Realm expert shouldn't be able to ascend 300 steps so easily!"

...

For a moment, the crowd below the ladder was in an uproar, everyone completely stunned by Lu Qing's recent feat.
