I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 1433 - 862:

The tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable finality.

Upon hearing this, the Five Treasure Taoist’s heart sank heavily, and an indescribable melancholy surged up, permeating his entire being. He had long anticipated this day would come, but when it truly arrived, he still felt a sense of emptiness, as if losing the most vital support.

He longed to speak, to ask Lu Qing to take him along, even if it meant being a servant pouring tea and water, even if it meant following behind forever, he would be wholeheartedly willing. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He was already weary of the intrigues and schemes of the Heavenly Origin Great World, this homeland that birthed and raised him, had long become a place of heartbreak.

The humiliation of the Heavenly Prison, the betrayal of fellow disciples, the misunderstanding of the world, had long worn away his last trace of attachment to this place.

But the words, when they came to his lips, he swallowed them back down.

He had restraint, and more importantly, self-awareness.

Lu Qing’s identity and background were unfathomable, he could intimidate the Unity Realm Stage with a mere gesture, slaying All Heavens Saints—such a person must hail from a Supreme World beyond the stars, carrying earth-shattering secrets. Lu Qing had never voluntarily spoken of his past, never revealed his true identity, clearly unwilling to let outsiders know, even less to have them follow.

He was merely a small cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, like dust before Lu Qing. If he rashly asked to follow, it would not only fail but might even annoy the other party, exhausting the last bit of friendship between them.

This bit of restraint, the Five Treasure Taoist, still possessed.

Taking a deep breath, pressing down the reluctance and melancholy in his heart, the Five Treasure Taoist slowly bowed his head, his tone carrying a trace of loneliness, yet unspeakably resolute: "Since Your Excellency intends to leave, I shall not persuade further. Next, I plan to find a quiet place to seclude myself in cultivation, to concentrate on my cultivation technique and remain indifferent to worldly matters. If by chance, I manage to break through the barrier and achieve the Primordial Spirit Realm, I will then leave this Heavenly Origin Great World to explore the endless stars, to see the outside world, and not live this life in vain."

He didn’t speak of affection, didn’t speak of reluctance, just calmly laid out his plans. Yet anyone could hear the solitude in those words.

Lu Qing looked at the Taoist before him, who had endured hardships yet still retained his true nature, and felt a slight movement in his heart. The Five Treasure Taoist, while not high in cultivation, was pure-hearted and valued emotions and righteousness. Back then, if not for protecting the people, he wouldn’t have been framed by villains and fallen into the Heavenly Prison. Such a disposition was rare in the scheming Cultivation World.

Since he was an old acquaintance and personally saved by him, it was only right to offer a gift upon parting.

Lu Qing raised his hand, his fingertips emanating a faint green light. As the light flowed, two items slowly emerged.

One was an ancient scroll, engraved with mysterious runes, exuding an endless Daoist aura—a Supreme Technique from the depths of the stars, the "Mixed Element Dao Scripture," far more exquisite than any technique in the Heavenly Origin Great World, enough to support the Five Treasure Taoist all the way to the Unity Realm Stage, even higher.

The other was a Five-Color Exquisite Tower, standing no more than three inches high, yet intricately carved and adorned with auspicious clouds, precisely the upgraded version of the Five Treasure Taoist’s long-lost Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Five-Color Tower, named the Primordial Five-Color Exquisite Tower. It was personally refined by Lu Qing using Star Sky Divine Gold, unmatched in defense, capable of easily resisting even the attacks of a Great Power of Unity Realm, enough to protect the Five Treasure Taoist both in the Heavenly Origin Great World and among the stars.

"Take this ’Mixed Element Dao Scripture’, cultivate diligently, and it will help you break through the barrier of the Primordial Spirit Realm and reach higher realms. This Primordial Five-Color Exquisite Tower is compatible with your origin and can serve as your protective treasure. In the future, nobody shall harm your life." Lu Qing flicked his fingers, and the scroll and tower slowly drifted towards the Five Treasure Taoist. "Today we part, and in the vastness of the stars, should fate allow, we shall meet again."

The Five Treasure Taoist, trembling, received the technique and the treasure, feeling the supreme Daoist aura and vast power within them, tears instantly blurred his vision, and he knelt heavily to the ground, bowing thrice with a resounding thud: "This junior thanks Your Excellency for the generous gift! Your Excellency’s great kindness, this junior shall never forget, remembered forever in this life and beyond!"

"Rise." Lu Qing said calmly.

The Five Treasure Taoist stood up, clutching the technique and treasure tightly, looking at Lu Qing’s figure. Though his heart held a myriad of reluctance, he knew the parting was imminent, and could only choke out, "Your Excellency, take care!"

"Hmm."

Lu Qing nodded slightly, said no more, turned, and with a wave of his sleeve, led Little Yan and Little Li, transforming into a stream of green light, vanishing instantly into the horizon, hastening toward the hidden underground cave mansion from years past.

The Five Treasure Taoist stood in place, gazing in the direction Lu Qing had left, standing for a long time, until the green light completely disappeared from sight. He then slowly withdrew his gaze, holding the technique and treasure close, turning towards the distant mountains, henceforth secluded in cultivation, no longer questioning the affairs of the world.

...

The green light streaked across the sky, in but a moment, reaching the secret place deep within the Heavenly Origin Great World.

This was the underground cave mansion personally crafted by Lu Qing, hidden beneath a ten-thousand-foot abyss, shrouded by supreme restrictions, where even a Great Power of Unity Realm could hardly sense its existence. Within the cave mansion, spiritual springs trickled, immortal herbs spread across the land, and spiritual energy was dense enough to become liquid, making it the number one cultivation holy land in the Heavenly Origin Great World.

Back then, after rescuing Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and others from the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison, they had always secluded themselves here in cultivation, healing and solidifying their foundations, attempting to wash away the hidden injuries left by the Heavenly Prison and to elevate their cultivation.
