I Can See Through All Things' Information

Feeling the powerful aura rushing towards him from behind, a faint smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.

He carried two Spiritual Artifacts on him, and hiding his presence was naturally a simple task.

Even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment wouldn't be able to spot him.

However, his purpose for retreating wasn't to run away.

So, instead of concealing himself, he intentionally showed a trace of his presence, letting the Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him sense it.

As expected, after sensing Lu Qing's aura, the speed of his pursuer increased sharply once again, closing in swiftly.

Feeling this, Lu Qing remained calm and unhurried, a glint of purification light flashed on him, and his speed increased sharply, moving quickly forward.

He was still too close to Lingshan Mountain Range; he needed to get further away to be safe.

The Grey Robed Old Monk sensed Lu Qing's increase in speed, seemingly realizing he was being pursued, and a flicker of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Think you can escape?"

Golden light emerged from his body and surged into a golden small boat he stood upon.

In the next instant, his speed doubled again, bearing down quickly on Lu Qing.

Dozens of breaths later, upon a vast plain, he finally saw Lu Qing's figure.

Looking at Lu Qing's flustered fleeing figure a hundred yards away, the Grey Robed Old Monk, without hesitation, pointed his finger and a streak of golden light shot straight towards Lu Qing's heart.

In an instant, the golden light reached behind Lu Qing, and just as it was about to pierce him,

At the crucial moment, Lu Qing rolled over, narrowly avoiding the strike with extraordinary difficulty.

However, the expression of the Grey Robed Old Monk showed no change; he remained stern, only changing the spell with his fingers.

Suddenly, the streak of golden light, which had already been avoided by Lu Qing, shifted direction mid-air with a breath's ease, and at an even faster pace headed right towards Lu Qing's chest.

This change was extremely fast and Lu Qing had no means to escape; his War Saber transformed into a bolt of thunder, striking at the golden light.

Boom!

A sound of air wave explosion rang out, causing Lu Qing's body to sink and the surrounding weeds, mud, and stones to scatter in an instant.

The golden light was then repelled by Lu Qing's saber strike, revealing its true form as a golden Flying Shuttle.

"Hmm?"

The Grey Robed Old Monk, seeing how easily Lu Qing had repelled the Magic Artifact he had released, finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Yet, he remained silent; with another change in his spell, the golden Flying Shuttle transformed back into a golden light and headed towards Lu Qing.

As the Grey Robed Old Monk spurred his Heart and Spirit, the spiritual energy of the surrounding hundred meters began to fluctuate and continuously gathered above the golden shuttle.

Forming a mighty presence, it bore down on Lu Qing.

This time, the Grey Robed Old Monk was not merely testing; he was exhibiting the true power of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Divine Melt Heaven and Earth…"

Feeling the might above the golden shuttle—several times greater than before—Lu Qing's face showed a serious expression.

He was very familiar with the technique used by the Grey Robed Old Monk.

It was indeed the Divine Melt Heaven and Earth, previously performed by the Third Saint's Puppet Dharma Body.

Divine Melt Heaven and Earth, simply put, was about using the Divine Soul Power to penetrate the surrounding heaven and earth, controlling the energy between them, utilizing it for oneself, and forming a dominant force.

To master this technique, one needed extremely strong Divine Soul Power, and a profound understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules.

Lu Qing also knew this move; after having grasped the Domain from his Teacher, he naturally mastered the technique of Divine Melt Heaven and Earth.

Not long ago, in Cangzhou Prefecture City, he had disrupted a Demon Cultivator's Array nodes using a bow and arrow, employing the Divine Melt Heaven and Earth technique.

Gathering the surrounding nature's spiritual energy into the Magic Arrow, the strength of the Magic Arrow was so potent that even the Blood Melting Soul Refining Array's Array Formation Light Screen could not withstand it.

Thus, facing the golden shuttle bearing the might of heaven and earth, Lu Qing also had a strong aura rising from him.

An invisible Domain, centering on his body, unfolded rapidly, taking control of the space within three yards around him.

At the same time, a yellow light flickered, and the Earth Spirit Pearl in the glabella vibrated slightly.

Then, Lu Qing reached out and made a grasping motion in front of him.

In the next moment, a bizarre scene occurred.

The Magic Artifact golden shuttle, bearing the might of heaven and earth, had just entered the three-yard range in front of Lu Qing when its speed visibly slowed down.

When it reached a two-yard distance, it became even slower.

Finally, it was just fixed in the position one yard away from Lu Qing, unable to move and with its might entirely dissipated, revealing the true form of the golden shuttle.

"What?"

The Gray Robed Old Monk was truly shaken now.

Shock appeared in his eyes as he stared intently at Lu Qing.

He seemed unable to believe that his accumulated strike was so easily neutralized by Lu Qing.

"Old Monk, stop hiding your power. These little tricks of yours won't trouble me. I advise you to use your full strength, otherwise you'll regret it when you die."

Having easily blocked the strike with the Domain enhanced by the Earth Vein Primordial Magnetism, Lu Qing spoke indifferently.

He looked at the Gray Robed Old Monk in midair, and information about his opponent started to emerge in his vision.

[Ku Rong Elder: One of the Supreme Elders of Suspended Mountain.]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage of Great Success (Perfection).]

[For fear of the outside Heaven and Earth Rules sensing his presence and casting down tribulation, he severed his own cultivation from Perfect Foundation Establishment to the Great Foundation Establishment.]

[One who advanced within the secret realm, fundamentally Innate with flaws, needs to supplement his foundation for a successful crossing of the tribulation.]

[Possesses Exotic Treasure, formidable in strength.]

...

As Lu Qing finished reading the information floating around the Gray Robed Old Monk, he understood clearly.

It seemed that this elder was indeed one of the cornerstones of Suspended Mountain.

A cultivator at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment was considered among the most top-tier existences in the world today.

However, it appeared that he was immensely cautious about the insufficiently evolved rules of the outside world.

He had to sever his own cultivation before daring to emerge from the secret realm.

"Arrogant!"

The shock in the Gray Robed Old Monk's eyes receded.

He had also discerned what technique Lu Qing had employed.

"Do you think that just by wielding a small domain, you can act recklessly?

Evil Demon, you're cruel and ruthless, daring to slaughter the disciples of my Suspended Mountain.

Today, I shall act on Heaven's behalf and deliver your soul!"

With those words, it was as if a seal had been broken, unleashing an overwhelmingly powerful aura from within the Gray Robed Old Monk.

Following that, he pointed his spell and the Golden Shuttle, which Lu Qing had immobilized, suddenly started to violently spin and shake as if endowed with immense power.

It seemed that Lu Qing's domain was on the verge of being breached.

"Hmph!"

But with a light snort from Lu Qing, a yellow light reappeared on his body.

Within his domain, the space became tenfold heavier.

With this power, the Golden Shuttle was once again suppressed, immobile like a small insect in amber.

"Earth Vein Primordial Magnetism."

Seeing the yellow light emerging from Lu Qing, the Gray Robed Old Monk's expression finally turned grave.

Earth Vein Primordial Magnetism was not an ordinary power.

This was a higher manifestation of the Earth Element Power, which could only be mastered by those with profound insight into the element of earth.

Moreover, for his magic artifact to be suppressed by the Earth Vein Primordial Magnetism, the Divine Soul Power of his opponent had to be at least equal to his!

Could it be that this mysterious person, who clearly exuded the aura of the Qi Refining Realm, was actually a cultivator of the same level in disguise?

"The Old Monk is somewhat insightful."

While the Gray Robed Old Monk was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Lu Qing chuckled lightly.

"But you must be tired of standing up there. Come down to me!"

With that, he reached forward with an empty hand, gripping hard and pressing downward.

Following Lu Qing's movement, the Gray Robed Old Monk suddenly felt a powerful force acting upon him.

His body suddenly became tenfold heavier.

He started to wobble, and the golden small boat under his feet seemed unable to support him anymore.
