I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 566

"Just one sword finger was all it took..."

Daoist Mo Xuan pressed his hand to the center of Li Motian’s forehead. His finger twitched slightly, and a look of astonishment crossed his face.

"What incredible Sword Intent... The one who saved you—could they be a peerless prodigy from some sword cultivator sect?"

"We don’t know either, Master. That Fellow Daoist Chen wasn’t just unmatched in the Sword Dao.

He also had astonishing mastery in the healing arts—one could call him a dual genius of sword and medicine.

At that time, I had almost no life force left. Half my body had already stepped into the Yellow Springs.

Yet he pulled me back by sheer force. In a short time, not only were all my injuries healed, but there were no lingering effects at all.

Junior Brother Zixiao and the others were in the same situation. Their meridians, acupoints, and internal organs were all corroded by demonic energy.

Even the Jade Dew Rejuvenation Pill had no effect—they were on the brink of death.

Yet Fellow Daoist Chen brought them all back using just his Golden Needle Technique."

Senior Sister Ye’s face still held a look of awe as she spoke of Lu Qing’s medical prowess.

She knew just how severe her injuries had been back then.

To say she’d already stepped through the gates of the underworld would not have been an exaggeration.

And yet, Lu Qing had dragged her back in such a short time.

She suspected that even if she had returned to the sect and received her master’s aid, her recovery wouldn’t have been as quick.

Thinking of this, Senior Sister Ye asked again, "Master, with your vast knowledge, can you guess where Fellow Daoist Chen might be from?"

"Why, didn’t this stranger who saved your life tell you himself?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen said his master forbade him from casually revealing his origins."

"I see."

Daoist Mo Xuan fell deep into thought.

After pondering for a while, he shook his head.

"In our Tianyuan Great World, there are many powerful sects renowned for their mastery in medicine and pills.

And countless more with extraordinary Sword Dao legacies.

But those who are equally skilled in both... there are very few.

Of the ones I know, none seem to match this peerless talent you encountered."

"Even you don't know, Master? Then is it possible that this Fellow Daoist Chen came from beyond our Tianyuan Great World, traveling here to temper himself?" Senior Sister Ye asked.

"That is a possibility," Daoist Mo Xuan nodded. "But our Tianyuan Great World is vast beyond compare. Many hidden sects and secluded powers lurk in the shadows.

Some powerful Nascent Soul rogue cultivators never concern themselves with worldly affairs and cultivate in seclusion.

Perhaps the one you met was born in one of those hidden places."

Senior Sister Ye felt a hint of disappointment at these words.

She realized it might be exceedingly difficult to uncover Lu Qing’s background.

Seeing this, Daoist Mo Xuan chuckled.

"Why be so concerned? If this extraordinary man does not wish to reveal his identity, he must have his reasons.

If fate allows, you will meet him again."

"Master! What are you saying—talking about fate and such..."

Senior Sister Ye's face reddened for some reason.

Daoist Mo Xuan merely smiled and said no more.

Having lived for so many years, he had seen all manner of things. How could he not understand what his beloved disciple was feeling?

But knowing her temperament, he didn’t tease her further.

Otherwise, she might actually get upset.

After blushing for a while, Senior Sister Ye noticed her master hadn't pressed the issue. Her mood gradually calmed.

She suddenly thought of another matter and asked, "Master, how much do you know about Senior Brother Qian Lingxiao?"

"Lingxiao? Why do you ask all of a sudden?" Daoist Mo Xuan looked puzzled.

"It’s like this—Junior Brother Zixiao and the others said that Li Motian had once revealed the reason he betrayed us and fell into the Demonic Path."

Senior Sister Ye recounted what Li Motian had said before to the young man in purple and the others.

"Such a thing..."

Daoist Mo Xuan fell silent for a moment.

"It’s hard to tell if that’s true. Li Motian might have been trying to slander Lingxiao and sow discord—playing a psychological game."

"But Master, at that point, Junior Brother Zixiao and the rest were no match for Li Motian at all. Why would he bother?"

"Those of the Demonic Path are cunning and ruthless, using any means necessary. You can't measure them by common reasoning.

Li Motian might not have been trying only to shake your morale. He could have had other motives.

Just look at you now—haven’t you already begun to doubt your Senior Brother?"

Daoist Mo Xuan smiled.

Senior Sister Ye fell silent.

She suddenly realized—her master was right.

Perhaps this was the very outcome Li Motian had intended.

So that even if something went wrong and they managed to escape, doubts would linger in their hearts—about their senior brother, about the sect.

And indeed, she now found herself uncertain.

"Then Master, do you think Li Motian was lying? Was he slandering Senior Brother?" she asked.

"I wouldn’t dare make such a judgment."

Daoist Mo Xuan’s answer surprised her once again.

She froze. "But didn’t you just say…?"

"What I meant was that you should observe more, think more, and not let yourself be swayed too easily by others' words.

All appearances might be false.

Li Motian, your Senior Brother—what you see is just the face they choose to show the world. It may not be their whole truth.

All things in this world are complex and layered. Truth and falsehood blend together, making it hard to discern.

Even what you see and hear with your own eyes and ears may not be real.

Just because demonic cultivators are often deceitful doesn’t mean Li Motian’s words were false.

I wasn’t there at the time. I can’t rashly declare he was lying."

These words left Senior Sister Ye even more bewildered.

"Then Master, if the world is so murky and uncertain, how are we supposed to perceive the truth? How do we distinguish right from wrong?"

"With your Dao Heart," Daoist Mo Xuan said, pointing at her chest. "All things in this world may be illusions.

But the Dao Heart of us cultivators can be tempered again and again, becoming unyielding.

If in the future you find yourself unsure, ask your heart.

In cultivation, only by staying true to your heart can your thoughts remain clear and your progress be steadfast.

As long as your heart remains firm,

no matter how false or complex the world may be,

you will be able to see through the illusions and reach the truth."

At these words, Senior Sister Ye’s body trembled.

She murmured, "Remain true to my heart... see through falsehood with the Dao Heart..."

As he watched his disciple fall into deep thought, Daoist Mo Xuan quietly sat without disturbing her.

This disciple of his had excellent cultivation aptitude.

Not only had she formed a Superior Golden Core, but she had also reached the Fifth Transformation.

But her personality was overly upright, easily swayed and deceived.

This time, being lured outside and nearly dying at Li Motian’s hands was proof of that.

He hoped this ordeal would change her.

If she could use it to solidify her Dao Heart, then reaching the Nascent Soul stage would no longer be an uncertainty, but a real possibility.

"See through falsehood… with the Dao Heart…"

Senior Sister Ye murmured the phrase over and over, a light gradually returning to her eyes.

Finally, she lifted her head, understanding shining in her gaze. "Master, your disciple understands now."

"Good."

Daoist Mo Xuan did not ask what exactly she had understood. He simply nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as you remember this insight and hold to it consistently—aligning thought with action—then the Dao of Nascent Soul will not be far off."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Senior Sister Ye bowed deeply. Her eyes were now calm and serene.

On her way back, she had pondered many things, especially the matter of Li Motian and her Senior Brother, which had left her feeling uneasy.

But after her master’s words, her heart had settled.

Whatever the truth behind Li Motian’s actions might be, so long as she followed her heart, she had nothing to fear.

Seeing the determination in his disciple’s eyes, Daoist Mo Xuan felt even more gratified.

He waved a hand and said, "That’s enough. Leave Li Motian’s body here. I’ll take care of the rest—you needn’t worry about it."

"Yes, Master," she replied.

"And about your Senior Brother—no need to investigate further. I’ve heard he recently traveled to the Tianxu Continent and won’t be returning to the sect any time soon."

"Senior Brother went to the Tianxu Continent?" Senior Sister Ye looked surprised.

The Tianxu Continent wasn’t exactly close to the Qiankun Sect.

"Indeed. I’ve heard the Sacred Tianxu Mountain there has shown signs of strange activity. Rumors say a new secret realm may soon appear.

Many sects and great clans have sent their young prodigies ahead to Tianxu Continent.

If a new secret realm really emerges, it’s best to prepare early and claim a share of the fortune.

As for our Qiankun Sect, your Senior Brother has already led a group of inner disciples over there."

"A new secret realm at Sacred Tianxu Mountain?"

Senior Sister Ye’s heart trembled even more at that.

Sacred Tianxu Mountain—what was that?

It was one of the most vast, majestic, and unfathomably mysterious sacred mountains in the entire Tianyuan Great World.

Every time it stirred, it shook the very nerves of countless sects and factions.

If what her master said was true, then that region was sure to become a place of surging chaos and opportunity.

"This news has been spreading for several days already," Daoist Mo Xuan continued.

"I was thinking, once you recovered, you could also head that way and see if you might stumble into some immortal fate.

But now that you’ve only just healed, you should enter seclusion and recover fully first.

If, by the time you’re well, the secret realm hasn’t appeared yet, then you can still go—it won’t be too late."

"Understood," Senior Sister Ye replied.

At the same time, she felt a spark of excitement stir within her.

Sacred Tianxu Mountain was awakening. Surely half the cultivation prodigies across the Tianyuan Great World would gather there.

So many young talents clashing, seizing opportunities—it would be a truly dazzling event.

Just thinking about it made her blood surge.

And more than that, she couldn’t help but wonder: would Fellow Daoist Chen be there too?

The moment that thought came to her, she could hardly wait to begin her seclusion.

The sooner she healed fully, the sooner she could set out for the Tianxu Continent—before she missed such a grand occasion.

Watching his disciple depart, Daoist Mo Xuan turned his gaze toward Li Motian’s corpse. His expression grew grave.

After a moment of silence, he put the corpse away, then transformed into a streak of light, flying swiftly toward the back mountain of the sect.

…

"A’Qing, is that the Tianxu Continent up ahead?"

In the skies above, Lu Qing floated among the clouds. On his shoulder stood Xiaoli, eyes and mouth wide as it stared ahead.

In the distance, a colossal mountain stretched high into the heavens—so vast it seemed to have no summit.

"That should be it. The Tianxu Continent gets its name from that very mountain—Sacred Tianxu Mountain.

That enormous peak ahead must be the legendary Sacred Tianxu Mountain."

Lu Qing gazed at the mountain in awe as well.

He had imagined how imposing it would be before arriving.

But now that he was seeing it with his own eyes, he was still utterly stunned.

Even from such a distance, Sacred Tianxu Mountain exuded an overwhelming pressure.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine how vast and powerful it must be up close.

Once, he had thought the sacred mountain of his home world was already enormous.

But compared to this, it might as well have been a molehill.

Just the visible portion of Sacred Tianxu Mountain alone was larger than his entire home world.

Lu Qing and Xiaoli stood silently in the clouds, gazing upon the boundless sacred mountain.

After a long while, Lu Qing tried activating his ability, hoping to glean some information by observing the mountain.

But no text appeared in his vision, no matter how long he stared.

He immediately understood—Sacred Tianxu Mountain’s level must be far too high.

With his current power, he couldn’t see through a presence of such magnitude.

It was just like when he’d tried probing the sun and moon back in his home world, and also failed to receive any information.

This confirmed to him: Sacred Tianxu Mountain was surely an integral part of the Tianyuan Great World.

"Come on, Xiaoli. Let’s go."

After steadying his emotions, Lu Qing activated his movement technique, transforming into a streak of light and continuing forward.

The mountain seemed close at hand, but that was just an illusion caused by its sheer immensity.

In truth, Lu Qing was still a great distance away.

The Tianyuan Great World was unimaginably vast—just one continent like Tianxu was already larger than hundreds or thousands of home worlds combined.

So Lu Qing still had quite a journey before he could truly reach the sacred mountain.

But he wasn’t in any hurry. He had no pressing matters.

So he flew leisurely, enjoying the scenery along the way.

If he rushed too quickly, he might attract the attention of something he’d rather not encounter.

And so, several days passed as Lu Qing flew at a relaxed pace. Yet Sacred Tianxu Mountain still looked exactly as it had—unmoving, impossibly massive.

It felt as though he hadn’t made any progress at all.

But Lu Qing knew better. That too was an illusion.

He was indeed getting closer. It was just that the mountain was too enormous and the distance too vast for any change to be noticeable yet.

Just as he pressed on with patient resolve, he suddenly heard a voice call out to him.

"Fellow Daoist ahead, please wait a moment!"
