I Can See Through Everything

Sensing the aura of Lu Qing on the verge of breaking through, the mysterious presence was utterly shaken.

It hadn't been long since it handed Lu Qing the stone tablet of inheritance, yet not only had he fully comprehended the first three stages of the (Technique), he was now about to directly refine the Wu Body itself.

Such comprehension and talent were simply heaven-defying.

In its countless millennia of life, having witnessed innumerable prodigies, even it couldn’t help but be left speechless.

At this critical juncture, Lu Qing, who was under the silent gaze of the mysterious existence, had also reached the most pivotal moment.

Having absorbed and refined a vast amount of Vital Essence, his physical body had once again transformed, reaching the edge of an unimaginable extreme.

Only a single step remained before he could ascend to a new, extraordinary level.

Yet this final step was anything but easy.

Lu Qing recalled the key insights of the

Undying Ten Thousand Calamities Wu Body

(Technique). With his unique Spiritual Powers, he had long fully mastered the first three stages of this supreme (Technique).

Naturally, he understood exactly what state he was in now.

Without hesitation, his figure shifted, mimicking the posture of the first strange beast carved on the stone tablet. Then came the second. Then the third.

In this manner, Lu Qing repeatedly cycled through the poses of the first three beasts on the tablet, while visualizing the corresponding power circuit diagrams in his mind.

Gradually, the three separate diagrams began to converge, slowly aligning until they merged into a single, more complete circuit.

This was the fourth power diagram in the

Undying Ten Thousand Calamities Wu Body

inheritance.

At the same time, Lu Qing adopted the posture of the fourth beast on the ancient stone tablet.

Boom!

The moment he struck the fourth posture, he crossed a critical threshold.

A massive volume of Vital Essence surged into him like a whale swallowing water.

His aura skyrocketed wildly. More importantly, his entire being underwent an earth-shattering metamorphosis.

This transformation went beyond mere strength—it was a fundamental leap in life itself.

“Is he breaking through?”

The mysterious entity hidden in the shadows sensed the shift in Lu Qing’s aura. It instantly understood—the boy had stepped into that final, crucial phase. He was about to truly condense the Wu Body.

Time passed.

The commotion in the blood pool gradually subsided.

Then, Lu Qing opened his eyes.

Light swirled within them, vast and clear like the sky above the Nine Heavens. Ethereal and detached, there was something inhuman in his gaze.

But soon, that cold detachment faded, and emotion returned to his eyes.

He took a moment to examine his current state.

Within his body, his blood and Qi surged like an ocean, like a prison. With the slightest movement, it stirred like crashing waves that shook the heavens.

His strength had reached an unfathomable height.

Lu Qing estimated that with his current physical might, he could climb Bone Mountain without needing to fuse his Golden Core of Spiritual Power into his body. He could easily reach the peak.

Even those three Golden Core Realm Beasts outside the ancient tower—he could suppress them with a single hand.

But strength alone wasn’t the most important thing.

What mattered most was that now, with the Wu Body refined, the life force within his flesh had reached a monstrous level.

Every inch of his blood, flesh, and bones brimmed with boundless vitality.

“My current life force might already surpass the old dragon tortoise back in my home world.”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but marvel.

That ancient dragon tortoise from his homeland was once a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Though its cultivation hadn’t fully recovered when Lu Qing left, its body alone could dominate every living creature in their world.

With its colossal size, the vitality within it had been practically unimaginable.

Lu Qing’s body was hundreds, even thousands of times smaller, yet the vitality flowing through him now exceeded even that behemoth.

The magnitude of this life force was simply terrifying.

He guessed that even if his head were severed now, he might not die. Regrowing limbs would be nothing more than a trivial matter.

After all, the ability to regenerate severed limbs was typically something only Nascent Soul cultivators possessed.

In terms of raw life force alone, Lu Qing now likely surpassed most initial-stage Nascent Soul experts.

“The Wu Clan truly deserves their reputation as a lineage focused on physical cultivation. With the Wu Body refined, my vitality alone makes it difficult even for Nascent Soul experts to kill me quickly.”

According to the inheritance, the Wu Clan’s cultivation system had its own hierarchy.

It was divided into Gold Wu, True Wu, Grand Wu, and Ancestral Wu stages.

Lu Qing, having just formed his Wu Body, was now at the Gold Wu level.

This corresponded to the Golden Core Realm of the Daoist path.

But thanks to the endless supply of Vital Essence from the blood pool, and the profundity of the

Undying Ten Thousand Calamities Wu Body

(Technique), Lu Qing had already reached the early stage of Gold Wu.

Moreover, with the power of the Wu Body, even without using his Golden Core of Spiritual Power or any artifacts, he could now match Batian and Shen Zangfeng, those peerless prodigies, through sheer physical strength alone.

“My Golden Core of Spiritual Power is a Perfect Golden Core. Now that my Wu Body is complete, my flesh is also a Perfect Flesh Body.”

Perfect Golden Core paired with Perfect Flesh Body—Lu Qing himself didn’t even know what tier his current strength had reached.

Even though both his Golden Core and flesh body were still within the Golden Core Realm, his actual combat power would be more than enough to overpower cultivators who had formed even Flawless Golden Cores of the ninth transformation.

After a moment of reflection, Lu Qing leapt out from the blood pool. With a faint shake, the blood vanished from his body, leaving it spotless.

Now that his Wu Body had been refined, the effects of the Vital Essence in the pool had greatly diminished for him.

It could no longer accelerate his cultivation.

“You actually condensed the Wu Body in one go. Judging by your aura, you’ve already reached early-stage Gold Wu. You truly are full of surprises, little one.”

The mysterious voice echoed once more.

“I was just fortunate. Without the Vital Essence in this refining pool, I wouldn’t have condensed the Wu Body so quickly,” Lu Qing said modestly.

Yet he wasn’t lying.

Though his Spiritual Powers allowed him to comprehend techniques at a speed far beyond others, refining the Wu Body demanded an enormous amount of energy and life essence.

Had he not been immersed in this blood pool, with an abundant supply of Vital Essence to refine, who knew how long it would have taken to reach this stage?

“Even so, in ancient times, many prodigies of my Wu Clan came here to comprehend this technique. Yet none of them came close to your level of insight.

“Even with Vital Essence at their disposal, they couldn’t condense the Wu Body in such a short time.

“They say the Daoist path produces the most gifted cultivators. Today, I’ve finally seen it with my own eyes.”

The mysterious presence sighed.

Lu Qing smiled faintly, unsure how to respond.

After all, he hadn’t lived through those ancient times and had no point of comparison.

Instead, he asked, “Senior, may I ask where my spirit beast is now?”

“You mean the little one? That beast is quite good as well. It’s currently asleep in the primary refining pool. It will take some time before it awakens,” said the voice.

“So Xiaoli is asleep…” Lu Qing murmured, then added, “Senior, may I remain here and continue cultivating while I wait for Xiaoli to awaken?”

“Of course. The master of this space never imposed any time limits. Until this space closes, you’re free to stay and train,” the voice replied.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’s heart stirred. “Then may I ask, senior—how long will this secret realm remain open?”

“This space reappears once every ten thousand years. Each time, it manifests in a different location and remains open for a full year.

“After one year, the exit will reappear. So there’s no need to worry about the timing.”

“One year, huh…” Lu Qing pondered aloud. “Then I feel at ease. Many thanks, senior.”

He still had many questions, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on them.

And knowing that the exit would appear after a year eased his mind.

At least now, he didn’t have to worry about Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and the others being trapped here.

With those concerns set aside, Lu Qing once again sat cross-legged and prepared to cultivate.

But this time, he wasn’t cultivating the

Undying Ten Thousand Calamities Wu Body

.

Instead, he activated his Spiritual Powers and entered a state of Enlightenment.

This time, he intended to take advantage of the opportunity to fully deduce the latter stages of his

Perfect Golden Core Technique
