I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 622

"The secret realm is closing?"

"And it’s closing within an hour!"

"Does that mean we can finally get out of here?"

…

As soon as the vortex in the sky appeared and the message suddenly popped into their minds, the disciples of the Qiankun Sect and the members of the Gongshu Clan were first stunned—then overwhelmed with joy.

Over the past year, they had exhausted every method imaginable but failed to find a way out. Who would’ve thought that now, on the brink of closure, the secret realm itself would take the initiative to release them?

"Hahaha! Gongshu Yu, looks like heaven won’t grant your wish after all. With the secret realm closing so soon, even if I tell you the secret of the exotic beasts, you won’t have time to hunt them. What now? You still want to fight us?"

Qin Zheng suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Gongshu Yu’s face darkened.

But he knew Qin Zheng was right.

With less than an hour before the realm shut down, even knowing the secret behind the exotic beasts wouldn't be enough time to make any use of it.

Gongshu Yu found Qin Zheng's laughter unbearably grating.

He had a strong urge to simply order the extermination of every last Qiankun Sect disciple right then and there.

But in the end, he forcibly suppressed the murderous impulse.

Qin Zheng was no weakling—his cultivation was only a step below Gongshu Yu’s own. If it came to an all-out battle, even if they could eliminate the Qiankun Sect disciples, his side would certainly suffer severe losses. At best, it would be a hollow victory.

Worse, even if they won, would they still have the strength to escape the secret realm afterward?

After all, flying in this bizarre realm consumed a staggering amount of energy.

More importantly, there was no benefit to be gained from fighting now.

With that in mind, Gongshu Yu finally swallowed his rage.

He gave a cold snort and turned to leave. "We’re going!"

Only after Gongshu Yu and his people disappeared from sight did Qin Zheng let out a long breath of relief.

If possible, he had no desire to fight the enemy.

Over the past year, after refining the bloodlines of the exotic beasts, their strength had indeed improved significantly.

But going up against Gongshu Yu’s group would likely only lead to mutual destruction.

The fact that they had chosen to retreat was the best outcome he could hope for.

"Second Senior Brother, what do we do now?" Ye Qingzhu asked.

"Rest for a while and adjust to your peak condition. Then we prepare to leave this secret realm," Qin Zheng answered without hesitation.

According to the message they had just received, the secret realm would shut down completely in at most one hour. There was no time to waste.

Otherwise, they might be trapped here forever.

Chu Xiaojing looked anxious. "But… what about Brother Chen?"

"If we received the realm’s warning, then Fellow Daoist Chen surely did as well. If he’s still inside, he’ll know what’s happening," said Qin Zheng.

"Exactly. With Fellow Daoist Chen’s strength, leaving the secret realm should be easy. It’s us who need to be careful. If we don’t conserve our energy, we might not even be able to reach that vortex," Zixiao agreed.

The others were sobered by the thought.

Zixiao was right—flying in this realm was no easy feat. The higher you went, the more terrifying the spiritual energy cost became.

At the height where that vortex floated, if they weren’t fully prepared, they might never reach it.

Realizing this, the Qiankun Sect disciples all straightened up. "Understood, Second Senior Brother!"

"Daoist, will you be leaving with us?"

Qin Zheng turned to look at Daoist Wubao.

"Of course," Daoist Wubao nodded.

He was more than ready to leave this place.

"Then let’s all take this time to rest."

While the Qiankun Sect disciples entered meditation, other powerful cultivators in the secret realm were likewise gripped by excitement.

Especially the rogue cultivators—they were downright ecstatic.

"Can we finally leave?"

"I thought I’d die in this damn place!"

"Once I get back, I’m retiring! Never setting foot in another secret realm again!"

"Senior Brother Liu… what a pity. You didn’t make it to see this day."

For many rogue cultivators, surviving the past year in this secret realm had been nothing short of torture.

Some had perished when they ran out of spirit stones and elixirs, unable to replenish their energy, only to be ambushed by exotic beasts.

So it was no exaggeration to say they were overjoyed to learn they could now escape.

Without a second thought, every rogue cultivator rushed frantically toward the vortex in the sky.

"The secret realm closes in an hour?"

In another area, Batian casually cut down an exotic beast and stored its body in his spatial artifact.

"Well, I’ve gathered a decent number of corpses. Once I get back, I’ll let the clan’s alchemists examine them. Maybe they’ll uncover something."

Batian was very intrigued by the secrets that might lie within the exotic beasts’ bodies.

Especially after witnessing Lu Qing’s astonishing strength in the Ancient Tower space, he had become even more fixated on the matter.

To him, someone like Lu Qing wouldn’t recklessly slaughter exotic beasts unless there was a deeper reason.

Unfortunately, the clansmen he brought this time all specialized in combat—they couldn’t analyze the beasts’ internal mysteries.

So his plan was simple: harvest some beasts now, and let the clan's experts figure it out later. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I wonder if that one really died atop Bone Mountain… or if he found some hidden opportunity."

Batian gazed in the direction of the Ancient Tower.

"So, this secret realm is actually closing…"

Somewhere within the ruins, the Daoist Heir of Dao Xu Temple stood in his star-embroidered robes, looking up at the vortex.

"Time to leave, is it?"

Elsewhere, Shen Zangfeng also stared at the vortex, but his eyes brimmed with resentment.

He had gained almost nothing from this trip. After leaving the Ancient Tower, he’d explored several other ruins—only to come up empty-handed.

He had wasted an entire year. How could he accept this?

"Just one step more… I could’ve broken through this ruin!"

In another underground ruin, a cold, veiled woman from Bilu Palace also stared at the sky with reluctance in her heart.

She and her companions had discovered this ruin half a year ago and spent immense effort decoding its seals. Now they were on the final layer—only to learn the secret realm was about to shut.

"Forget it. This just wasn’t meant to be."

The cold woman sighed and reluctantly made her decision to leave.

No one knew what might lie deeper inside.

And with only an hour left, if she entered and was trapped, she’d never escape.

Weighing the risks, she made her choice.

As all the cultivators across the secret realm began making their way out…

Lu Qing, still deep in secluded cultivation within a mysterious space, was suddenly awakened by a voice.
