Chapter 516
I Can See Through Everything
“Master.”
As soon as Lu Qing’s consciousness entered the Li Huo Cauldron, Yan immediately came forward.
Ever since Lu Qing stepped into the Golden Core Realm, Yan had gradually begun to change its attitude toward him.
Eventually, it even started calling Lu Qing “Master.”
Lu Qing had found it a bit strange at first, but seeing that Yan insisted, he eventually let it be.
“What about the demonic cultivator?” Lu Qing asked.
“He’s asleep. These years, that demon brat has been in slumber most of the time due to the lack of Heavenly Demon Energy. To reduce consumption, he stays dormant,” Yan replied.
“I see.” Lu Qing nodded slightly.
The lack of demonic energy for the demonic cultivator was intentional on Lu Qing’s part.
He had always harbored deep wariness toward that fellow.
Even though he had planted a Soul Imprint of enslavement, that hadn’t changed.
Thus, all these years, he had only fed the demonic cultivator a trace of demonic energy now and then, just enough to keep its essence from dissipating.
Never once had he allowed it to draw true power.
With a thought, a ball of light appeared in Lu Qing’s hand, within which was wrapped a blackened hand.
At the same time, he transferred the demonic cultivator—curled up and sleeping in the corner of the Spiritual Artifact’s space—over to his presence.
“Who goes there?!”
Startled by the sudden change, the demonic cultivator woke at once.
But upon seeing Lu Qing, a look of joy spread across its face. “Master!”
“I remember you said you were from the Tianyuan Great World, and once one of the one hundred and eight Demon Generals under the Black Sky Demon Sovereign?”
Lu Qing didn’t bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
The demonic cultivator was briefly stunned, but quickly responded, “Yes, Master. As far as I can recall, in my past life I was indeed one of the Demon Generals under the Demon Sovereign.”
“In that case, you should be quite familiar with the Tianyuan Great World, right?” Lu Qing continued.
“Yes, Master.”
Though confused about why Lu Qing was suddenly interested in the Tianyuan Great World, the demonic cultivator saw this as a rare chance to prove its worth and quickly replied, “Though I’ve lost some memories due to reincarnation and the mysteries of the womb, I still remember most of what pertains to the Tianyuan Great World.”
“Good. Then tell me everything you know about the Tianyuan Great World—especially the distribution of major powers, and how an outsider might enter it.”
“What? Could it be… Master intends to enter the Tianyuan Great World?!”
The demonic cultivator’s heart jolted with shock at Lu Qing’s words.
It considered the possibility, but still found it hard to believe.
After all, the Tianyuan Great World was immensely far from the tiny remote Small World where Lu Qing had originated.
It hadn’t been asleep for long, so how could Lu Qing have suddenly arrived near the Tianyuan Great World?
But despite the shock, the demonic cultivator dared not hesitate.
After thinking for a moment, it began, “The Tianyuan Great World is one of the most powerful worlds within the Great Yuan Immortal Domain…”
Thanks to the demonic cultivator’s explanation, Lu Qing gradually gained a clearer picture of this vast world.
According to its account, the Great Yuan Immortal Domain had once been the territory of the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty.
The Tianyuan Great World was one of the strongest worlds within that domain and had been under the Immortal Dynasty’s control.
But over a hundred thousand years ago, a great upheaval struck the domain, causing the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty to collapse.
Several of the most powerful worlds declared independence, forming their own regimes, no longer beholden to the dynasty.
The Tianyuan Great World was one such world.
Yet even after becoming independent, it was far from peaceful.
Multiple factions vied for control over the world, and large-scale conflict ensued.
The most intense rivalry was between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path.
In the end, the two forces reached a stalemate—neither able to overcome the other.
“At the time I was being hunted by righteous cultivators and had to employ the Reincarnation Technique of the Heavenly Demon to flee.
Both sides were evenly matched back then.
The Demon Sovereigns and the top Nascent Soul Cultivators of the righteous path maintained a delicate balance, rarely making moves.
But among the middle and lower tiers, conflict was constant.
I myself was ambushed during a secret realm expedition and forced to abandon my body and reincarnate using the Heavenly Demon Body Separation Technique.”
“Middle and lower tiers…” Lu Qing pondered, then asked, “Didn’t you say you were a Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator? Even Nascent Soul Cultivators are considered mid-tier?”
“That’s right. In the Great Yuan Immortal Domain, only Nascent Soul Cultivators at the level of seven tribulations and above are considered top-tier.
Back then, I was just at the first tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm, and among the one hundred and eight Demon Generals under the Demon Sovereign, I ranked quite low.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’s heart shook.
In his home world, a single Nascent Soul Cultivator would be a figure who could command an entire sect.
But in the Tianyuan Great World, even a Nascent Soul one-tribulation cultivator was only mid-tier?
And the Demon Sovereign under whom the demonic cultivator had served had one hundred and eight Demon Generals—each at the Nascent Soul Realm?
Then how many Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators must they have under their command?
And that was just one Demon Sovereign’s power.
It was unimaginable how many Nascent Soul cultivators existed in the entire Tianyuan Great World.
“So this is the foundation of a top-tier Great World… Compared to that, my home world is indeed as insignificant as a speck of dust.”
Lu Qing was deeply shaken, finally understanding what it meant for a world to possess profound heritage.
He even began to contemplate what sort of force the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty must have been, to once govern so many top-tier Great Worlds.
“Good thing I left. Had I remained in my home world, I truly would have been a frog at the bottom of a well.”
After calming his thoughts, Lu Qing asked again, “Then if I want to enter the Tianyuan Great World, how should I do it?”
When he first beheld the boundless majesty of the Tianyuan Great World, he had understood.
Trying to infiltrate it with a Void Flying Boat like he had back in the Small World was impossible.
With his current cultivation level, the Void Flying Boat he could control wouldn’t even be able to penetrate the world’s membrane—he would need another method.
As expected, the next moment, the demonic cultivator gave a straightforward answer.
“Each Great World is complete in itself, with a powerful world membrane that blocks nearly all spatial divine abilities and artifacts.
Even top-tier Nascent Soul Cultivators find it hard to force their way in.
The only way for outsiders to enter the Tianyuan Great World is through one of the five surrounding Small Worlds, via teleportation arrays.
Back in my day, the five Small Worlds surrounding Tianyuan were divided thus: the Righteous Path held two, the Demonic Path held two, and the remaining one was controlled by the Yao Clan Alliance.
I’ve been asleep for many years and reincarnated multiple times before resolving the mysteries of the womb and escaping the Tianyuan Great World.
I don’t know whether the balance of power has changed since then.”
Lu Qing recalled the five Small Worlds slowly orbiting the Tianyuan Great World he had seen earlier.
Each emitted a distinct aura.
Two radiated a righteous and imposing presence.
Opposite them, the other two exuded a cold, domineering aura that made him instinctively uncomfortable.
The last one carried a mixture of sinister energy and wild, untamed freedom.
That must be the one held by the Yao Clan.
Clearly, during the demonic cultivator’s absence, the situation in the Tianyuan Great World had not changed much.
“So, as long as we enter one of the Small Worlds and then take the teleportation array, we’ll be able to enter the Tianyuan Great World, correct?” Lu Qing nodded and asked.
However, to his surprise, the demonic cultivator shook his head.
“Of course it’s not that simple.”
“The Tianyuan Great World is incomparably vast and mighty. Its world power is so immense it defies imagination.
Within it lie endless opportunities and boundless mysteries.
Even the spiritual energy that pervades the world possesses various wondrous properties—far more potent than the spiritual energy found in lower worlds.
Such a magnificent world is truly a sacred land for cultivation sought by countless cultivators.
And naturally, a sacred land is not something one can enter so easily.
For outsiders wishing to enter the Tianyuan Great World, there are generally two methods.
One is to pay a substantial amount of spirit stones to earn the right to enter and reside within.
The other is to be accepted into one of the factions within the Tianyuan Great World.
Whether as an outer disciple or as a guest elder of a sect, either status grants entry to the Great World.
But becoming a guest elder is no easy task.
Even for some of the smaller sects, one must at least possess a Golden Core Realm cultivation.”
“I see.”
Hearing the explanation, Lu Qing finally realized that his earlier thoughts had been somewhat naïve.
Indeed—such a profound world could not be so easily accessed.
If it were that easy, cultivators from lower and medium worlds would’ve long since swarmed in, seeking fortune and opportunities.
In that case, how could the native powers of the Tianyuan Great World possibly tolerate such intrusion?
“It seems I’ll have to first settle down in one of the Small Worlds and look for an opportunity to enter the Great World from there.”
Lu Qing didn’t have many spirit stones to begin with, and he’d spent even more during his journey here.
At present, he had so few spirit stones left he could count them on his fingers.
Clearly, it would be nowhere near enough to pay the entrance fee into the Tianyuan Great World.
Still, no matter what, he had to make contact first before he could find a solution.
Next, Lu Qing asked the demonic cultivator many more details about how to enter the Small Worlds. Only after making sure he understood everything clearly did he toss out the blackened hand.
“You’ve done well this time. This demonic hand shall be your reward.”
“Thank you, Master!”
The demonic cultivator caught the hand with great joy.
All these years, Lu Qing had rarely entered the Li Huo Cauldron, leaving the demonic cultivator with few chances to request demonic energy.
Adding to that, Yan deeply disliked him and certainly wouldn’t pass along messages on his behalf.
As a result, the demonic cultivator had endured a rather miserable time, relying solely on sleep to minimize the consumption of his origin energy.
Now that he’d recovered this hand from his former body, he could finally replenish himself with some proper demonic energy.
After handing over the Demonic Body’s Hand, Lu Qing paid no more attention to the demonic cultivator and withdrew his consciousness from the Li Huo Cauldron, returning to his physical body.
Opening his eyes, he saw Xiaoli and Wuxing both staring at him with eager expressions.
“A Qing, you’re awake! Can we set off now?” Xiaoli asked at once upon seeing him stir.
“Just about. After a bit more preparation, we can depart.”
In the following two days, Lu Qing made thorough preparations. Only then did he steer the Void Flying Boat toward the vast world ahead.
Although the Tianyuan Great World looked close at hand, in truth, it was still quite distant from where they currently were.
Over the next stretch of time, Lu Qing propelled the Void Flying Boat at a speed a hundred times faster than the limit of his home world. It took more than ten days before they finally arrived near one of the Small Worlds.
As they approached, the power radiating from the Tianyuan Great World grew ever more profound and overwhelming.
When they neared one of the Small Worlds, Lu Qing saw that beyond its borders floated a massive landmass—at least the size of a province from his home world.
It was shrouded in glowing formation light, and through the haze he could make out many majestic buildings within.
It was a colossal city floating in the starry sky.
“The five Small Worlds orbiting the Tianyuan Great World are essentially five gateways.
Only by using the teleportation arrays within those gateways can one formally enter the Tianyuan Great World.
But even entering those Small Worlds is not so simple.
First, one must undergo inspection and screening at the Starry Sky City above the Small World to confirm their identity.”
Lu Qing recalled the demonic cultivator’s words as he gradually slowed the Void Flying Boat, steadily guiding it toward the great city ahead.
The one he had chosen, naturally, was one of the two Small Worlds controlled by the Righteous Path Alliance within the Tianyuan Great World.
After all, the techniques he cultivated were all proper righteous-path methods.
If he were to visit one of the Small Worlds controlled by demonic cultivators, who knew what sort of trouble might arise?
When the Void Flying Boat approached the majestic gates of the Starry Sky City—
Suddenly, a beam of radiant white formation light shot forth from the gate, striking toward the flying boat.
Lu Qing did not panic, allowing it to envelop the vessel.
He knew this was a required procedure for entry into the city.
This formation light bore no hostility. Its purpose was to scan whether the flying boat was a demonic artifact.
Sure enough, after scanning for a while, the formation light slowly receded.
At the same time, a gap appeared in the formation barrier at the city gate, allowing the Void Flying Boat to pass through.
Lu Qing guided the boat through the opening and descended before the city gate.
He stepped off the vessel with Xiaoli and Wuxing, then stored the flying boat away.
Only then did he lead the two little ones toward the gate.
“Fellow Daoists, you’ve traveled far. May I ask where you’re from, and how you should be addressed?”
At the gate sat a plump old man behind a table and chair. He greeted Lu Qing with a kindly smile.
But Lu Qing could sense that the old man’s aura was as deep as the sea.
Without using his spiritual abilities, he couldn’t discern the man’s cultivation at all.
In that moment, Lu Qing understood—the man must be a Nascent Soul Cultivator or above.
He did not dare be neglectful and immediately bowed with respect.
“This junior is Lu Qing, from a remote and humble Small World. These two are my spirit pets. Greetings, Senior.”
“Greetings, Senior!”
Xiaoli and Wuxing, somewhat nervous, also bowed in greeting.
They could vaguely sense just how terrifying the elder before them truly was.
