I can see through all information

Chapter 610 The True Witch's Bone, The Perils of Climbing the Mountain
"Something seems off about this mountain peak?"

As Lu Qing approached the towering mountain, he noticed something amiss.

When viewed from a distance, the mountain peaks appeared straight, like pillars reaching to the sky.

But as he got closer, he discovered that the mountain was segmented and had a smooth, flat surface; it was not actually a real mountain.

It looks more like the spine of some kind of creature.

But what kind of creature has a spine that can grow to be so tall and deep? And how exaggerated must its body be?

Looking at the "mountain peak" in front of him, Lu Qing was deeply shocked.

He instinctively activated his supernatural ability, wanting to see if he could find out any information about it.

He had tried before, but without success. This time he planned to try for a longer period of time.

"Ah Qing, this mountain peak looks a bit like..."

At this moment, Xiao Li hesitated for a moment.

“Yes, it also looks like the spine of some enormous creature to me.” Lu Qing nodded.

Xiao Li opened her mouth wide: "How big must that be?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely something we can hardly imagine."

Xiao Li paused for a moment before saying, "A Qing, I can vaguely sense that there seems to be a very powerful treasure on this mountain peak, but I can't quite feel it clearly."

"Really? That means we've come to the right place."

Lu Qing kept staring at the "mountain peak" in front of him, and a full quarter of an hour passed without any change.

Just when he thought he couldn't find any information and was about to give up.

Finally, a few messages slowly floated out from the "mountain peak".

[True Shaman's Bone: The vertebrae that fell from the body of an ancient true shaman after death.]

A true shaman is a mid-level member of the shamanic clan, whose status is only below that of the great shaman and the ancestral shaman.

This spine was left behind after the death of a true shaman of the Wu clan. It was refined by a powerful member of the clan and used to suppress this space, thus becoming the Trial Mountain.

[The descendants of the ancient witch clan, by climbing this spine and passing the trials of the malevolent energy within, can undergo a baptism of true essence within the bone and transform into witches.]

……

"The True Witch's Bone, indeed this mountain is the spine left behind by a powerful being, and the reason why this space is so heavy is also due to the suppression of this True Witch's Bone."

After reading the message that floated out, Lu Qing felt a surge of joy.

Besides learning the origins of this towering mountain, what surprised him most was the information revealed in the note at the back.

As long as one climbs the True Witch's Bone and passes the trials within, one can receive the baptism of its true essence.

Although he didn't know just how powerful this so-called "true witch" really was.

But the fact that even a single vertebra it left behind could suppress a space showed that it must be a powerful being beyond his comprehension.

The essence it left behind is probably an incredibly precious treasure.

"Aqing, do you know the foundation of this mountain?"

Seeing Lu Qing's expression, Xiao Li immediately asked.

It knew that Lu Qing possessed a very special ability: after examining something for a while, he could discern the true nature of most items.

“I understand a little. We might have to climb this mountain soon. If you can hold on, you’ll have a great opportunity. If you can’t, you can go into the Fire Cauldron and take refuge for a while,” Lu Qing said.

"Is there a great opportunity?" Xiao Li's ears perked up immediately upon hearing this.

"Okay, let's go over there."

Lu Qing used his movement technique to rush forward, and before long, he truly arrived at the foot of the mountain where the True Witch's Bone was located.

Then he saw that there were quite a few people gathered in several different locations ahead.

He recognized some of the faces, such as the Gongshu family, as well as the Lanhai Sect and Xuanyuan Sect people he had suppressed.

There are now over a hundred people gathered at the foot of the mountain.

However, at this moment, these people's situation seemed to be not good.

Many of them were covered in blood and sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to catch their breath.

Others looked dazed, as if they had suffered some kind of blow.

Even worse, some lay sprawled on the ground, lifeless.

Clearly, a lot has happened here.

Lu Qing's arrival also attracted the attention of the people in front.

When they turned around and saw Lu Qing, many people's expressions changed.

Surprisingly, this person eventually managed to enter the ancient pagoda.

People from several sects, especially the Lan Hai Sect and the Xuan Yuan Sect, were visibly shaken.

After all, not long ago, they were suppressed by Lu Qing and only survived by offering up their cultivation techniques.

Elder Yu is currently recovering from his injuries outside and is unable to enter the tower.

The expressions on Gongshu Yu and the others' faces were also not very pleasant.

Even top-tier Golden Core cultivators like Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng showed slight changes in their expressions.

The suppressive power of this space is far stronger than that of the secret realms outside.

The restrictions imposed on them have reached an unprecedented level.

A person like Lu Qing, whose physical strength is so formidable that it rivals that of a mythical beast, is clearly a significant threat to them.

Despite being watched by so many powerful figures, Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged.

He naturally noticed the wariness these people in front of him were showing towards him.

However, he didn't care and didn't even greet them. Instead, he walked to the other side and silently observed the True Witch's Bone in front of him.

Upon this observation, Lu Qing discovered that the surface of this mountain-sized True Witch Bone was not entirely smooth.

A huge staircase is carved on it, seemingly for people to climb.

This must be the trial mentioned in the note he found.

Seeing Lu Qing intently observing the mountain peak in front of him as if no one else was around, many people's expressions changed.

Suddenly, a man stepped out and led several people toward Lu Qing.

"It's Batian, what is he going to do?"

"Could it be that they intend to take action and eliminate this threat?"

"Ba Tian wouldn't be that stupid, would he? He has no grudge against this person, so why would he provoke him?"

"Perhaps they want to invite them to join forces."

"Would joining forces be of any use? You saw what happened before. Climbing this mountain is not a matter of how many people there are."

Ba Tian's move immediately attracted everyone's attention, and discussions broke out.

Of course, most of these discussions were conducted through telepathic communication.

Otherwise, no one would dare to call Batian stupid to his face.

"Fellow Daoist, I, Ba, greet you."

Ba Tian, ​​accompanied by several clansmen, approached Lu Qing and bowed. This gesture surprised many.

Anyone who knows Batian knows that he has always been extremely domineering.

Apart from exceptionally talented and highly skilled Golden Core cultivators like Shen Zangfeng, there are very few people who can earn his respect, let alone someone who would actually bow and greet him first, as is the case now.

"Fellow Daoist."

Lu Qing had naturally noticed Ba Tian's approach long ago.

He initially thought the other party was there to cause trouble, after all, he had personally witnessed this person's domineering nature on Guanli Peak that day.

Seeing the other party being so amiable now, I was a little surprised.

"My name is Ba Tian, ​​a descendant of the Ba Wang clan. May I ask how you are addressed?" Ba Tian asked very politely.

"My surname is Chen, and my given name is Qing."

Lu Qing revealed his alias, but did not mention his lineage or teacher.

Ba Tian didn't care. There were plenty of cultivators who liked to hide their identities and origins while traveling, so it was perfectly normal.

So instead of being annoyed, he exclaimed in admiration: "So it was Fellow Daoist Chen. Fellow Daoist Chen displayed his skills outside the ancient pagoda a few days ago, treating those guardian beasts as nothing and hunting them at will. His unparalleled demeanor truly left me in awe."

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. They are merely Golden Core beasts. With your strength, Fellow Daoist Batian, dealing with them should not be a difficult task," Lu Qing said politely and modestly.

“If we were outside, I would naturally not take those beasts seriously,” Ba Tian chuckled. “However, this secret realm imposes considerable restrictions on us, and I cannot be as relaxed and carefree as you, Fellow Daoist Chen.”

"You are too modest, fellow Daoist."

The two exchanged perfunctory pleasantries, leaving the group of people nearby looking at each other in bewilderment.

For a moment, I was quite confused about the situation.

Lu Qing was also wondering to himself what Ba Tian was really up to.

However, if the other party doesn't say anything, he won't ask, because he doesn't believe that the other party can really keep it to themselves forever.

Sure enough, after a few more polite exchanges, Ba Tian finally changed the subject.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Chen, do you wish to climb this Bone Mountain?"

“That is the idea. Isn’t that the purpose of everyone’s coming here?” Lu Qing did not deny it.

“That’s right. We came into this strange space to look for opportunities. This bone mountain is so obvious that it is likely to contain some kind of opportunity.” Ba Tian nodded.

"so?"

"I just want to inform Fellow Daoist Chen that this mountain is not easy to climb. If you rush up there, you may suffer a loss."

"Oh, how do you know?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow.

This time, he was genuinely surprised.

This person came over to tell him about the dangers on Bone Mountain?

"This Bone Mountain contains an incomparably powerful suppressive force. Once you climb those steps, the suppressive force you feel will be much stronger than this space."

Furthermore, with each step upwards, the sealing power increases by one point, and with each section of the Bone Mountain climbed, the sealing power multiplies.

More importantly, this mountain of bones contains unimaginable malevolent energy.

The malevolent energy was enough to solidify and transform into various malevolent beasts, which would attack during the climb.

If one cannot withstand the corrosive influence of the evil energy, their spirit and soul will be severely damaged, and they may even become mentally impaired.

Ba Tian recounted all the dangers of climbing the mountain.

This made Lu Qing even more surprised, and for a moment he couldn't figure out this person's purpose.

However, he still bowed respectfully and said, "I see. Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist."

At the same time, he also understood what had happened to those cultivators who were standing around with blank expressions and no breath.

Clearly, it was because it could not withstand the suppressing power and malevolent energy of this bone mountain that it turned out like this.

"Given such danger, do you still wish to climb this mountain, fellow Daoist?" Ba Tian asked.

"We have to try it first, otherwise how will we know if it's really impossible?"

"I do have a way to greatly reduce the pressure on Fellow Daoist Chen when climbing this mountain."

"Oh, I'd like to hear more details." Lu Qing thought to himself, "Finally, they've arrived," and asked the question without showing any emotion.

"Fellow Daoist Chen's physical body is incredibly powerful, surpassing everyone else in this secret realm. With your strength, it is obviously much easier for you to withstand the suppressing force on this Bone Mountain than for us."

However, facing that all-pervasive evil energy that can corrode the soul and will, it might not be so easy.

It seems that Your Excellency Ba Mou Guan does not possess any powerful magical treasures, and it may be difficult for you to withstand those strange and troublesome evil beasts.

How about this, our Overlord Clan will lend you, Fellow Daoist Chen, a few powerful protective magic treasures to help you resist the evil beasts.

However, if you, fellow Daoist, are able to obtain the opportunities on this mountain, you must share some with us.

What does Fellow Daoist Chen think of my suggestion?

Upon hearing this, everyone was first taken aback, then suddenly realized that this was what Ba Tian was planning.

After the initial shock, many people were suddenly struck by a thought.

To be fair, Ba Tian's suggestion, though somewhat unexpected, actually had its merits.

Everyone here has witnessed firsthand how powerful Lu Qing's physical body is.

He was able to easily kill so many Golden Core level beasts with just his physical strength.

It can be said that Lu Qing's physical strength far exceeded the imagination of the powerful individuals present.

If this person were to climb Bone Mountain, their chances of success would be much greater than theirs.

If Ba Tian really reaches an agreement with Lu Qing, then he only needs to lend out a few magic treasures to get a share of the opportunity.

This kind of deal is incredibly lucrative.

"Who said this guy only knows how to solve problems with brute force and has no brains? His scheming and calculation skills are just too clever."

In an instant, everyone realized that they had all been deceived by Ba Tian's usual carefree attitude.

In fact, this person is very deep and thoughtful!
Lu Qing was also surprised by Ba Tian's suggestion.

After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Batian, but I would like to try it myself first."

"That's fine, Fellow Daoist Chen, please feel free to try. My suggestion is always valid. If you change your mind, you can come and discuss it at any time."

Ba Tian did not force him upon hearing this.

He knew that strong individuals like Lu Qing were all very resolute in character.

How could they be so easily swayed by a few words?

If it were him, he would definitely try it out before considering a cooperative approach.

He had already experienced climbing Bone Mountain and knew all too well the dangers involved.

Therefore, he was very confident that once Lu Qing tried it and realized that things were not going to work out, he would naturally come to discuss cooperation with him.

Therefore, after Lu Qing refused, he did not try to persuade him further, but instead led a few clansmen back to their original location.

When Ba Tian returned, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Qing again.

From their conversation, they both knew that Lu Qing was preparing to climb Bone Mountain.

They wanted to see just how long this person could hold out on this mountain of bones.
