I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 481 (2)

At that time, what Lu Qing would have to face would likely be a terrifying Dragon Tortoise possessing the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing immediately felt a headache.

Although he had unexpectedly seized the Water Spirit Pearl, refining it would still require considerable effort.

“Two ants, return my treasure! Or else, I will ensure that you die without a burial place!”

Just as Lu Qing was feeling troubled, the Dragon Tortoise floating on the sea let out an enraged divine soul fluctuation.

“Hm?”

Sensing this soul fluctuation, Lu Qing was momentarily stunned, then his heart filled with joy.

This Dragon Tortoise could communicate? That would make things much easier!

His expression steadied, turning indifferent.

Looking at the Dragon Tortoise below, he said, “I never expected that deep beneath this ocean, an Ancient Dragon Tortoise would still exist.

You have survived the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and lived to this day, merely having your cultivation fall while your physical body remains intact.

The bloodline of the Ancient Ancestral Dragon is truly extraordinary!”

“You brat, what did you say?!”

Lu Qing’s words immediately sent a shockwave through the Dragon Tortoise’s mind, causing its massive body to stir, churning up waves across dozens of miles.

Its originally cold and furious gaze now transformed into one of sheer astonishment.

It fixed its eyes on Lu Qing, filled with disbelief.

It could not comprehend how this mere Golden Core Realm ant could know so much about it.

Not only had he accurately described its current physical condition, but he had even revealed the biggest secret of its bloodline lineage.

This was a secret that not even cultivators of the previous Era of Immortal Cultivation had known!

“Finding it difficult to comprehend?”

Noticing the shock in the Dragon Tortoise’s eyes, Lu Qing smiled slightly, feeling even more confident.

“Although your kind remains shrouded in mystery, your origins are not completely unknown.

In ancient times, your race was nothing more than an ordinary giant tortoise species.

By sheer chance, you obtained a strand of Suan Ni’s bloodline, a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon.

After refining it, your kind underwent a transformation, giving rise to the Dragon Tortoise lineage. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This secret may be unknown in this world, but in the vast universe, it is no mystery at all.”

Lu Qing continued unveiling the secrets of the Dragon Tortoise clan, causing the creature’s eyes to widen further.

Finally, it could not contain itself any longer and bellowed, “Who exactly are you?!”

The shock within the Dragon Tortoise’s heart was indescribable.

The process of their race’s evolution was recorded within their bloodline inheritance.

Apart from the Dragon Tortoises themselves, no other living being knew of this.

Moreover, in this world, it was the only remaining Dragon Tortoise.

So how did this young human know such a hidden truth?

From the Dragon Tortoise’s perception, Lu Qing was just an ordinary early Golden Core cultivator.

Judging by the spiritual fluctuations of his soul, his age was incredibly young.

He was not even a fraction of the Dragon Tortoise’s lifespan.

And yet, he possessed knowledge of its race’s most guarded secret.

This filled the Dragon Tortoise with suspicion and made Lu Qing seem even more unfathomable.

“Who I am is not important.” Lu Qing’s expression remained indifferent.

“This Water Spirit Pearl is of great use to me. Might I ask if you would be willing to part with it?”

The Dragon Tortoise fell into silence.

If anyone else had dared to speak to it in such a manner, it would have crushed them with a single claw.

However, the aura around Lu Qing was too enigmatic, making it hesitant to act recklessly.

Still, the Water Spirit Pearl was of immense importance to it, determining how quickly it could return to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Handing it over so easily was impossible.

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Tortoise finally spoke. “The Water Spirit Pearl is crucial to me. If you wish to take it, I must refuse.”

At this moment, the Dragon Tortoise no longer referred to Lu Qing as "brat" or "ant," instead addressing him with a respectful title.

In its mind, Lu Qing had now become a mysterious entity with a background deep enough to be treated as an equal.

Lu Qing was not surprised by the Dragon Tortoise’s response.

After all, from the moment it had first reacted, it had demonstrated how much it valued the Water Spirit Pearl.

Smiling slightly, he said, “Then what if I offer something in exchange?”

“An exchange?”

The Dragon Tortoise was momentarily stunned.

“Indeed. I will trade a cultivation technique for the Water Spirit Pearl,” Lu Qing nodded.

“A technique?” The Dragon Tortoise laughed. “You jest. My clan has always practiced our own exclusive techniques. We have no interest in others.”

Had Lu Qing offered a treasure, the Dragon Tortoise might have been intrigued.

But a technique?

The Dragon Tortoise’s clan had always relied on their inherited techniques. They never cultivated other methods.

Moreover, Lu Qing was a human cultivator—what techniques could he possibly have that would be of use to a Dragon Tortoise?

However, Lu Qing’s next words made the Dragon Tortoise’s eyes widen in shock.

“What if I told you that this technique is related to Suan Ni, the divine beast whose bloodline is tied to your kind?”

“Are you speaking the truth?!”

Hearing Lu Qing’s words, the Dragon Tortoise’s face twisted in disbelief before it let out a deafening roar.

The sea surged violently once more, reflecting the Dragon Tortoise’s overwhelming shock.

“Naturally, it is true,” Lu Qing said calmly.

“Impossible!”

The Dragon Tortoise could not suppress its disbelief and shouted loudly.

It simply could not fathom that Lu Qing could possess a technique related to that being.

After all, in the Dragon Tortoise clan’s bloodline inheritance, that being was sacred.

It was the supreme existence that had fundamentally altered their race’s destiny.

In the ancestral memories passed down, that divine being was so powerful that a mere movement could tear through space, shatter world barriers, and bring calamity upon this realm.

And yet, this young human dared claim he had inherited that being’s technique?

It was simply unimaginable.

However, recalling how Lu Qing had effortlessly uncovered its origins—down to the fact that it had endured from the previous Era of Immortal Cultivation—the Dragon Tortoise found itself wavering.

This young man was too mysterious.

Had anyone else said such words, it would have dismissed them as nonsense.

But with Lu Qing, it could not help but feel a glimmer of hope—a desire to believe that he spoke the truth.
