I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 482 (1)

"Well then, do you wish to make the exchange?"

Lu Qing was not at all surprised by the shock on the dragon turtle's face. He simply asked indifferently.

The dragon turtle hesitated for a moment before saying, "How do I know if what you’re saying is true or false?"

"Whether it's true or not, senior will know with a single glance."

Lu Qing casually released a wisp of Divine Sense and sent it toward the dragon turtle.

The dragon turtle hesitated at first, but upon sensing that Lu Qing’s Divine Sense was not particularly strong, it ultimately chose not to resist and allowed the wisp to land upon its Soul Perception.

The moment it came into contact with the Divine Sense, the dragon turtle’s mind trembled, and its eyes widened abruptly.

"Divine Ability..."

As a powerful Nascent Soul Realm creature that had survived from the Ancient Era of Cultivation, the dragon turtle possessed inherited memories.

Its knowledge far surpassed that of cultivators in this era.

It immediately recognized that Lu Qing’s wisp of Divine Sense contained the power of a Divine Ability, causing its heart to shake.

Yet before it could process its shock, it was entirely drawn in by the information carried within that Divine Sense.

Lu Qing had transmitted an illusion.

Within this illusion, a mysterious and powerful beast—its form shrouded in mist, indistinct and impossible to see clearly—was lying upon the clouds.

All of a sudden, the enigmatic beast lazily swiped a claw.

A streak of claw light shot forth, tearing through space itself, shaking the heavens and earth. Its power swept across the world with overwhelming might.

When the dragon turtle saw that claw light, its soul trembled, completely captivated.

Its eyes reflected a deep intoxication.

In the dragon turtle’s view, the strike from the mysterious beast was unimaginably profound. Simply watching it filled its mind with countless insights.

However, just as it was about to delve deeper into comprehending the technique, the illusion abruptly dissipated.

The fleeting realization that had just emerged in its heart was forcibly cut off.

"No!"

The dragon turtle panicked.

The claw strike from the illusion contained an unfathomable Dao, a supreme truth.

It had a strong feeling—if it could fully comprehend that claw technique,

then the bottleneck that had kept it stagnant for tens of thousands of years might finally be broken!

But now, with the illusion gone, its comprehension was abruptly severed. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The frustration was unbearable.

In its urgency, the dragon turtle turned its gaze toward Lu Qing, only to see his lips curling into a faint smile.

"So, senior, did I deceive you?" Lu Qing asked.

The dragon turtle took a deep breath, its mind settling into deep contemplation.

It still couldn’t be certain whether the technique Lu Qing spoke of truly originated from that being.

However, the illusion it had just witnessed was undeniably real.

That claw technique alone had deeply shaken its soul and stirred its comprehension.

At this point, it no longer mattered if Lu Qing was telling the truth.

What mattered was that this inheritance was of immense value to it.

It might truly allow it to break through the bottleneck that had trapped it for tens of thousands of years.

Having reached this conclusion, the dragon turtle had made its decision.

However, it didn’t immediately reveal its stance.

Instead, it observed Lu Qing closely and said, "I did not expect that you, young one, would possess such a fortuitous encounter… To think you carry a Divine Ability. It seems that you must be this era’s favored child of destiny."

"Oh? So, senior is also aware of Divine Abilities?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

Indeed, what he had just performed was the Phantasm Divine Ability.

Without it, merely relying on his own Divine Sense to replicate even a fragment of the Suan Ni’s Claw Imprint would have been impossible.

Unfortunately, this dragon turtle was simply too massive, and its physical body still retained the might of a Nascent Soul Realm creature.

For a being of such immense size, its Divine Sense was certainly formidable as well.

Even though its cultivation had fallen to the Golden Core Realm, its soul power remained terrifyingly strong.

Lu Qing estimated that even if he exerted his Phantasm Divine Ability with full force, he likely wouldn’t be able to bewitch the ancient dragon turtle.

"I would not say I know much, but in the previous cultivation era, I encountered two of your human geniuses. They, too, possessed Divine Abilities, and their strength was quite formidable," the dragon turtle said.

"I see." Lu Qing nodded, unsurprised.

Divine Abilities were rare, but he never believed himself to be the only one blessed with such fortune.

Each era had its own heavenly prodigies.

It was only natural that during the Ancient Era of Cultivation, there were those who had also obtained Divine Abilities.

Not to mention, both Xiao Li and his master also possessed Divine Abilities.

If these two had impressed even the dragon turtle, then they were likely Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses as well.

He just wondered whether they had managed to board the Void Breaking Ark.

"You wish to exchange this claw technique for the Water Spirit Pearl?" the dragon turtle asked.

"Precisely. Would senior be willing?" Lu Qing nodded.

The dragon turtle pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"I have two questions. Would you be willing to answer them?"

"Please ask, senior."

"Where did you obtain this claw technique’s inheritance, and how do you know so much about my race’s origins?"

"It seems senior still does not trust me," Lu Qing chuckled. "These matters are my secrets. Forgive me, but I cannot share them.

If senior is unwilling to trade, then so be it.

At worst, I’ll return and spend ten or so years slowly erasing the Soul Imprint inside the Water Spirit Pearl.

That much time, I can afford."

With that, Lu Qing turned to leave.

"Wait!"

The dragon turtle hurriedly called out.

Lu Qing paused. "Has senior changed their mind?"

The dragon turtle sighed in exasperation at Lu Qing’s unyielding demeanor.

If anyone else had spoken so boldly, it would have scoffed.

The Soul Imprint it had placed inside the Water Spirit Pearl was not so easily erased.

A mere Golden Core cultivator? Even if given a century, they would never succeed.

However, Lu Qing was different.

This youth was far too mysterious, and he clearly possessed a Divine Ability specialized in soul techniques.

If he were to slowly wear down the imprint, the dragon turtle could not guarantee that it would hold.

After much consideration, the dragon turtle reluctantly sighed and said, "Fine. I will trade with you."

Lu Qing smiled. "Then, let us each swear a Soul Oath, and only then will we proceed with the exchange."

The dragon turtle narrowed its eyes. Lu Qing’s cautious nature made it clear that he had planned this thoroughly.

However, this also reassured it.

Since Lu Qing was willing to take the initiative to swear a Soul Oath, it meant that the inheritance he was offering was authentic and not a deception.

"Very well," the dragon turtle agreed.

Soon, both human and beast each swore their Soul Oaths.

A wisp of Heavenly Dao’s presence manifested above them, confirming the validity of the oath.

Lu Qing took out the Water Spirit Pearl along with a jade slip.

He first tossed the Water Spirit Pearl forward. "Senior, please remove your Soul Imprint from within."

The dragon turtle caught the Water Spirit Pearl, its gaze betraying a hint of reluctance.
