I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 367

Sensing the powerful aura rapidly approaching from behind, Lu Qing smiled faintly.

He possessed two spiritual artifacts, making it easy to conceal his own aura if he wanted to.

Even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm would not be able to see through him.

But his retreat was not intended as an escape.

Instead of concealing himself, he purposely allowed a sliver of his aura to leak out, letting the Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him pick up on it.

Sure enough, as soon as that person detected Lu Qing's presence, his speed increased sharply, drawing even closer.

Noticing this, Lu Qing did not panic. His body shimmered with a clear light, and his speed suddenly surged as he dashed forward swiftly.

This place was still too close to the Ling Mountain Range; it was necessary to put more distance between them.

The old monk in the gray robe noticed Lu Qing's acceleration, likely realizing that he had been discovered. A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Think you can run?"

Golden light shimmered on his body, flowing into the small golden boat under his feet.

In the next instant, his speed doubled, closing the gap with Lu Qing at an even faster pace.

After several dozen breaths, they reached a plain, where the old monk spotted Lu Qing in the distance.

Seeing Lu Qing's fleeing silhouette just over a hundred feet away, the old monk in the air didn't hesitate. He pointed with his finger, and a beam of golden light shot directly towards Lu Qing's back.

In an instant, the golden light was upon Lu Qing, about to pierce through him.

At the critical moment, Lu Qing rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the golden light.

However, the old monk's expression remained unchanged, still cold. He merely altered the hand seal he was using.

The golden light that Lu Qing had dodged unexpectedly changed direction mid-air, accelerating as it stabbed toward his chest.

The change happened so quickly that Lu Qing had no time to dodge. With a swift movement, his battle blade transformed into a bolt of lightning, slashing down upon the golden light.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion resounded as Lu Qing's body sank, scattering dirt, grass, and stones in all directions from the impact.

The golden light, repelled by Lu Qing's strike, revealed its true form: a golden shuttle.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Lu Qing so easily deflect the artifact he had summoned, a hint of surprise finally appeared on the old monk's face.

But he said nothing, changing his hand seal again. The golden shuttle transformed back into a beam of light, flying towards Lu Qing once more. freewebnøvel_com

As the old monk channeled his spirit, the spiritual energy of the surrounding hundred meters surged, gathering around the golden shuttle.

A mighty force began to coalesce, bearing down on Lu Qing.

This time, the old monk stopped holding back and unleashed his true power as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Merge with Heaven and Earth…"

Sensing the increased power of the golden shuttle, several times stronger than before, Lu Qing's expression grew serious.

He was quite familiar with the technique the old monk was using.

It was the same technique that the puppet avatar of the Third Holy Lord had used before.

“Merging with Heaven and Earth” involved using one's soul force to penetrate the surrounding world, commanding the energies within it and harnessing them for one's own use, creating an overwhelming force. ℝ𝔞ŊộВƐᶊ

Mastering this technique required a strong soul force and a deep understanding of the rules of Heaven and Earth.

Lu Qing knew this skill as well. He had naturally mastered the technique of Merging with Heaven and Earth after gaining insight into his own domain under his master's guidance.

Not long ago, in Cangzhou City, he had broken through the nodes of the demonic array with his bow and arrow, using this very skill.

Gathering the surrounding spiritual energy into his arrows, he had made them powerful enough to pierce through the array’s protective barrier of the Ten Directions Blood-Melting Soul Refining Array.

Now, facing the golden shuttle infused with the might of Heaven and Earth, Lu Qing responded in kind, summoning an imposing aura.

An invisible domain unfolded around him, extending three feet out from his body and quickly taking control of the space within.

At the same time, a yellow light flickered, and the Earth Spirit Bead within his brow chakra trembled slightly.

Then, Lu Qing reached forward with his hand, as if grasping the air.

In the next moment, a strange scene unfolded.

The artifact bearing down on him with the power of Heaven and Earth slowed down as soon as it entered Lu Qing's three-foot domain.

When it was within two feet, its speed dropped to a crawl.

Finally, it was completely immobilized a mere foot away from him, its power dissipating as it revealed its original form.

"What?"

The old monk's eyes widened, truly shocked this time, as he stared at Lu Qing in disbelief.

It was as though he couldn’t accept that his fully powered attack had been neutralized so easily.

"You old bald donkey, stop holding back. These little tricks won’t work on me. If you don’t give it your all, you might end up regretting it in the afterlife."

Having effortlessly blocked the attack with the domain enhanced by Earth Vein Magnetism, Lu Qing spoke calmly.

Looking at the old monk hovering in midair, information about his opponent began to appear before Lu Qing’s eyes.

[Elder Kurong: One of the Elders of Xuankong Mountain.]

[Cultivation Level: Foundation Establishment, Complete (Perfect).]

[Fearing the response of the world’s natural laws, he severed his cultivation from Foundation Establishment Perfection to Foundation Establishment Completion to avoid a tribulation.]

[Advanced from the Secret Realm with innate flaws in his foundation, requiring completion to have hope of successfully overcoming the tribulation.]

[Possesses a unique treasure, formidable in power.]

...

After reading through the information, Lu Qing understood.

It seemed this old man was one of the hidden powerhouses of Xuankong Mountain.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator at Perfection was among the top in the world.

But it appeared that he feared the inadequacies of the world’s natural laws outside and dared not emerge from the Secret Realm without reducing his cultivation.

"Insolent!"

The old monk’s eyes narrowed as he hid his shock.

He had recognized the technique Lu Qing was using.

“You think a little domain will let you act recklessly?

Evil spirit, you are cruel and ruthless, daring to slaughter disciples of Xuankong Mountain.

Today, I shall uphold justice and send you on your way!”

With that, as if some seal had been broken, an overwhelming aura erupted from the old monk’s body.

In an instant, his hand seal shifted, and the golden shuttle immobilized by Lu Qing began to tremble violently, as if infused with newfound power.

It seemed to strain against the domain, threatening to break free.

"Hmph!"

Lu Qing let out a soft snort as yellow light reappeared around him.

Within the domain, the weight intensified tenfold.

With this surge of power, the golden shuttle was once again suppressed, as if caught in amber, unable to move.

"Earth Vein Magnetism."

Seeing the yellow light surrounding Lu Qing, the old monk’s expression grew serious.

The power of Earth Vein Magnetism was no ordinary force.

This was an advanced expression of earth energy, achievable only through profound insight into the earth element.

Moreover, to use Earth Vein Magnetism to subdue his artifact, his opponent’s soul force was at least on par with his own!

Could it be that this ghost-faced stranger, seemingly exuding a Qi Refinement aura, was in fact a Foundation Establishment cultivator like himself, merely in disguise?

“You've got some knowledge, old bald donkey.”

As the old monk grappled with his suspicions, Lu Qing laughed lightly.

“However, you must be getting tired of standing up there. Why don’t you come down?”

With that, he made a clawing motion downward with his hand, pressing the old monk to the ground.

Immediately, the old monk felt an immense weight pressing down on him.

He wobbled as the golden boat under his feet struggled to bear the load...
