I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 533 - 345: Cultivating the Spirit Field, The Tragedy of Sword Pavilion_2

Chapter 533: Chapter 345: Cultivating the Spirit Field, The Tragedy of Sword Pavilion_2

Lu Qing was busy with countless matters every day, either concocting something or enlightening rice seeds.

Even having to run outside to rescue and receive people.

The time he actually spent on cultivation, in fact, wasn’t much at all.

Yet, oddly enough, Lu Qing’s cultivation level was steadily improving.

According to "Yan’s" calculations, at this rate, it wouldn’t take long for Lu Qing to step into the Qi Refinement Middle Stage.

His rapid progression would be enough to make many prodigies from the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era blush with shame.

Not to mention that with Lu Qing’s profound foundation, though merely in the Qi Refinement Middle Stage, his true strength was feared to stand on par with even those in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Truly, he was a devil who had invoked Tribulation Clouds as the heavens and earth first changed.

The cultivation path was indeed completely beyond ordinary measure.

"Yan" couldn’t help feeling fortunate for his choice once again.

With the rate of Lu Qing’s cultivation progress, had it been adamant,

by the time he entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would likely have been the time for its complete refinement and dissipation.

Deep in cultivation, Lu Qing was on a mountain more than ten miles away from Jiuli Village.

A strange figure was hidden within a giant tree, looking at Jiuli Village enshrouded in misty spiritual energy.

"Spiritual energy converges; this little mountain village is actually guarded by an array. It must be the hidden location for that person’s private cultivation."

Elder You stared in the direction of Jiuli Village, with eyes betraying a wary expression.

To be able to arrange such a protective array right after the revival of heaven and earth,

the inheritance that person possessed must be extraordinarily remarkable.

It might well be the core legacy left behind by a powerful ancient Immortal Sect.

Elder You watched for a while, but in the end, didn’t approach any closer; instead, he silently noted Jiuli Village’s location before quietly withdrawing.

Initially setting out, he had been quite confident.

Believing that with their levels of cultivation, there were hardly any places in the world inaccessible to them.

However, the display of the elder doctor’s Flying Sword techniques that night had completely shattered his confidence.

Had it not been for the treasure bestowed by the Tower Master, he might have ended the same as the others that night, perishing within Wei Mansion.

Elder You knew the elder who made a move back then must be the master from the pair of master and disciple mentioned in the reports.

If the master was so formidable, then the disciple, who was rumored to have turned the Holy City upside down, must be far more terrifying.

Therefore, Elder You didn’t wish to take any more risks at all.

Should he inch closer and get noticed by that person,

their mission this time would be considered an utter failure.

Anyway, now that he knew the location of that person’s hidden cultivation spot, he could consider his mission complete.

The rest was for the Tower Master and others to decide.

Elder You gave one last glance in the direction of Jiuli Village, then executed his movement technique and swiftly departed.

The primary purpose of this excursion had been achieved.

There were still a few days remaining until the secret realms agreed upon opening time.

Rarely having the chance to venture out, he still had ample time to make additional arrangements for the lineage of Wujian Building.

Elder You left Cang County to begin wandering in all directions, scouting the current situation of the world.

Several days later, he arrived at another large province, Jizhou.

That night, as Elder You hurried on his way, he suddenly felt a presence from ahead, and his body gave a violent shudder.

"Such a heavy sin energy; what happened up ahead?"

A look of horror crossed Elder You’s eyes.

He surveyed the terrain around him and realized that nearby should be the territory of a sect force known as Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

After a few glances, the aura around Elder You abruptly retracted.

Becoming almost imperceptible, even to the extent that those in the Innate Realm would find it hard to detect.

Then he stealthily advanced toward the source of the disturbance.

As he continued forward, Elder You’s shock grew.

He felt that the sin energy from ahead was getting heavier.

Almost to the point of materializing.

"Just what kind of atrocity happened up front, for there to be such dreadful sin energy!"

Having progressed a little further, Elder You began to hesitate.

The floating sin energy around was simply too immense.

It reached a point where even he, an elder of Wujian Building, trembled.

One must understand that sin energy is not something that forms at the drop of a hat.

If it were ordinary slaughter, even if dozens or hundreds died, it might not lead to the formation of sin energy.

Usually, only those who have endured great torture, gone through immense pain before death, and died amidst boundless hatred can give rise to sin energy.

Given the intensity of the sin energy in the surroundings, Elder You couldn’t begin to imagine just what kind of hell awaited up ahead.

And who else could have committed such atrocity but a terrifying Demon?

"Ah!!!"

As Elder You hesitated, uncertain whether to leave,

a piercingly tragic scream suddenly tore through the night sky.

Hearing that inhuman wail, Elder You came to a stop.

He glanced around at the darkness of the night, then touched something in his embrace, and finally decided to stealthily investigate ahead.

At worst, he would have to expend the power of the Exotic Treasure in his embrace one more time.

He wanted to see what sort of dreadful Demon had appeared in the outside world.

Armed with the confidence provided by the Exotic Treasure within his embrace, Elder You moved forward with even more cautious movement techniques, inching closer in silence.

Eventually, guided by the incessant screaming,

Elder You came upon a mountain gate, which he quietly approached.

As he looked down, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

He saw that, in the Martial Arts Arena beyond the mountain gate, torches were burning.

Beneath the torchlight, a scene akin to hell was unfolding before him.

A figure with wild hair and a terrifying aura was extending an arm, pinching someone.

The person being pinched was letting out wave after wave of extremely tragic screams.

The screams that Elder You had heard earlier were coming from this individual.

Around the two individuals, human skins were scattered all about, creating a horrifying sight.

Not far from the pair, another seven or eight people were bound by ropes, watching the scene in front of them with faces filled with terror.

"Uncle-Master, have mercy, please have mercy!"

The pinched person pleaded for mercy amidst the screams.

However, the wild-haired and terrifying figure remained unmoved.

The large hand simply gripped the person’s head tightly.

Driven by his will, streams of blood light emerged from the victim’s head, which were then absorbed into the figure’s body.

As the blood light continued to emerge, the screams of the person being pinched became weaker.

The body began to wither, and by the time it went completely silent, it had turned into a piece of human skin.

The human skin was casually tossed aside, fluttering to the ground.

Elder You’s heart constricted suddenly.

He now understood how the human skins on the ground had come to be.

They were left behind after the demon below had absorbed the flesh and essence blood of these people, leaving nothing behind.

He could only wonder what sort of Evil Technique the demon below was practicing.

To be able to absorb and refine the essence and vitality of a human being for personal gain, it was many times more evil and strange than anything their Wujian Building had known!

Elder You was overwhelmed with shock and couldn’t help but conceal his presence even more.

Such a strange and terrifying demon was unheard of even for him.

If discovered, he feared even he might not escape unscathed.

Fortunately, the wild-haired figure below seemed to have not noticed Elder You.

After discarding the human skin, his gaze shifted to a group of people bound not far away.

"Little Jianwen, who do you think I should absorb essence blood from next?"

The wild-haired figure addressed the central figure among them, a Bearded Old Man stained with blood on his chest, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Demon, you demon!" the Bearded Old Man spat with an expression of grief and anger, "I shouldn’t have believed your deceitful words and let you go that day! freeωebnovēl.c૦m

I had no idea you, a demon, would be so cruel and merciless, not even sparing your own Sect!"

Sadly, the Bearded Old Man already appeared weak and clearly had suffered severe injuries.

Even with outrage flooding his heart, longing to slay the demon before him with a single sword strike, he was powerless.

"That’s not how you should put it, Little Jianwen," the wild-haired figure retorted without any sign of anger, continuing at his leisurely pace.

"Do you forget, it was you who plotted against me and locked me away in that dark and dreary place.

We made a fair trade, remember?

I told you I would share the secrets of the transformations of heaven and earth if you released me.

Didn’t I keep my promise afterward?"

"If I had known you had turned into such a demon, I should have slain you with a sword from the start!"

The Bearded Old Man shouted sternly.

"Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world, and you’ve already missed your chance," the wild-haired figure said with a light chuckle, then his expression gradually turned cold.

"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to tell me where that item is hidden or not?"
