I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 616

“One of the Great Witch Seeds from my Wu Clan did manage to reach the summit in the past. There weren’t many, but it did happen. It seems that your Dao Clan’s Flawless Golden Core still falls short in the end. What that esteemed one said back then… wasn’t entirely accurate.”

The mysterious voice now carried a trace of emotion.

It was evidently pleased that a peerless genius of the Wu Clan had outshone the Dao Clan’s legendary Flawless Golden Core.

“This junior naturally can’t compare to your clan’s geniuses,” Lu Qing replied with a smile, “but there is one thing, Senior, that you may have overlooked.”

“Oh? What have I overlooked?” the mysterious voice asked. “Could it be… you haven’t reached your limit yet?”

But before it could finish, it sensed Lu Qing’s aura surging once again, climbing higher and higher.

“Senior, this is the last trump card I possess. If this still can’t take me to the top, then I truly have nothing left to give.”

“This is… the power of a Divine Ability! You actually possess a Divine Ability—and a Flesh-Body Divine Ability at that!”

For a being like this mysterious voice, it hadn’t detected Lu Qing’s Divine Ability earlier only because he hadn’t activated it. But now that he had, it instantly understood.

It was no stranger to Divine Abilities.

Quite the opposite—it was extremely familiar with them.

After all, those of the Wu Clan, upon reaching a certain stage of cultivation, pursued the path of mastering powerful Flesh-Body Divine Abilities.

Without them, how could one grasp the stars, pluck the moon, and roam the boundless cosmos with just the physical body?

What surprised it was that Lu Qing, who clearly cultivated the Dao Clan’s Golden Core methods, could also possess a Flesh-Body Divine Ability.

One had to know—even among the Wu Clan, only those who had attained the level of a true Wu would start exploring such Divine Abilities.

Yet Lu Qing, not even a true Wu, had managed to wield one already. It was truly rare.

“This junior is unworthy. When I underwent my Golden Core Thunder Tribulation and formed my core, I was fortunate to receive Heaven’s Bestowal and was granted a Divine Ability. I never thought it would come in handy today,” Lu Qing explained.

“A gift from the heavens… I see. Your Dao Clan walks the path of comprehending the Dao Rules. It’s easier to earn the favor of the Great Dao and receive Divine Abilities. That makes sense.”

The voice finally understood.

“Senior, allow me to try once more—perhaps I can climb just a little higher.”

After activating the Divine Ability: Great Strength, Lu Qing’s physical power surged once again.

His previously labored breathing returned to calm.

Over the years, he had never slacked in his comprehension of the two Minor Divine Abilities he possessed.

By now, both were already cultivated to the Mastery stage.

The only reason they hadn’t reached Perfection was that his cultivation realm was still a bit lacking.

Still, even at the Mastery level, the Divine Ability: Great Strength greatly enhanced his already peak-strength body, granting him renewed might and allowing him to resist the crushing pressure once more.

The radiant glow of his Flesh-Body State lit up again, scattering the terrifying spectral beasts around him.

He stepped forward boldly, advancing toward the final three vertebrae.

With the aid of the Great Strength Divine Ability, even those last three vertebrae couldn’t stop Lu Qing’s advance.

In the end, he reached the summit—firm and unwavering, he stood atop the Bone Mountain’s peak.

Even under pressure as heavy as Mount Tai and with endless spectral beasts howling and charging at him from all directions, Lu Qing’s body remained still and unshaken.

Finally, after enduring for a full quarter-hour, everything suddenly vanished.

All that remained was the pressure weighing down on his body. The countless fiendish beasts were gone, never to return.

“Senior, does this mean I’ve passed the test?” Lu Qing asked.

“Indeed. You’ve passed the highest-level trial of Wu Mountain. You are now qualified to enter the True Marrow Tempering Pool.”

The mysterious voice sighed softly.

In truth, the moment Lu Qing unleashed his Flesh-Body Divine Ability, it had already known—this youth was destined to reach the summit.

It understood the power of a Divine Ability all too well.

With a physical body already far from weak, the fusion of his Golden Core into his flesh, and now empowered by a Divine Ability—his ascent was inevitable.

Still, following protocol, the mysterious voice asked, “Young one, now that you’ve passed the trial, do you wish to enter the True Marrow Tempering Pool for the baptism?”

“This junior is willing.”

Lu Qing naturally did not refuse. He had revealed so many trump cards just to reach this point.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of light appeared and surrounded him.

Lu Qing didn’t resist. He allowed the light to envelop him fully.

In the next moment, his figure vanished from the summit of Bone Mountain.

When he reappeared, he was already within a mysterious space.

Blood-colored mist hung thick in the air, and at the center was a blood pool about a square zhang in size.

Around the blood pool were ripples of spatial force. Mysterious energies were being drawn from unknown voids and slowly infused into the pool.

“This is… the Primordial Blood of the Wu?”

Lu Qing’s body shuddered as he gazed at the blood mist around him, instantly recognizing its origin.

It was of the same source as the Primordial Blood of the Wu he had extracted from various beasts before.

But its quality far surpassed what he had seen—this was clearly beyond the level of the Golden Core Realm.

Yet what drew his attention most was the blood pool at the center.

Lu Qing could feel an intense pull from it.

A deep, instinctive yearning from the depths of his body.

“This is the True Marrow Tempering Pool of our Wu Clan. The precious liquid within is formed from the essence of a True Wu’s marrow, a trace of Great Wu bloodline, and a fusion of mysterious energies drawn from countless voids.

Absorbing even a single wisp of it can tremendously enhance the potential of one’s physical body, triggering a transformation beyond imagination.

However, refining this essence is not without risk. It contains Fiendish aura that corrodes both body and soul.

Only those who have reached the summit of Wu Mountain’s trial may have a chance of enduring it.”

The mysterious voice spoke again, explaining the origin of the blood pool.

Lu Qing had already activated his Spiritual Powers and was observing the pool closely.

After a moment, reading the information that appeared within his vision, his heart settled.

The information matched what the voice had said.

This meant the other party was not deceiving him, and Lu Qing was reassured.

Still, he put on an innocent face and asked, “Senior, how should I undergo the baptism?”

“Simply walk into the pool. As for how much of the essence you can absorb—that depends on your own ability. But let me warn you: don’t be greedy. The essence contains dangers. If you overreach, you’ll suffer the consequences—your body could explode.”

“I shall heed your advice.”

Lu Qing did not dare to take such warnings lightly. He bowed solemnly toward the void.

Then, he slowly stepped into the blood pool and sat cross-legged at its center, beginning to absorb and refine the essence within.

Of course, he didn’t rush to absorb large amounts right away. Despite the overwhelming craving from his body, he restrained himself.

Carefully controlling his Spiritual Sense, he drew in only a single wisp of the essence to begin.

And the moment it entered his body, dramatic changes began.

There was no need to deliberately refine it—the moment the essence entered, it dispersed instantly and merged into his flesh, devoured greedily by his body.

At the same time, the Fiendish aura hidden within the essence erupted.
