I can see through all information

After giving the cave dwelling to Qin Zheng and the others, Lu Qing also gifted them some cultivation techniques and magical treasures according to their respective cultivation paths.

The cultivation techniques and magical treasures he provided were also ones he had obtained from the Holy Alliance.

Although these things are of no use to Lu Qing, they are still considered rare treasures to Qin Zheng and the others.

The magic weapons were alright, but all the cultivation techniques were obtained from the Holy Alliance's cultivation technique hall. Even the lowest level of those techniques were superior techniques that directly led to the perfection of the primordial spirit.

There are two unparalleled cultivation techniques that can be practiced to the level of Dao Integration.

Of course, no matter how profound the cultivation method is, one still needs sufficient aptitude and opportunity to cultivate it to perfection.

Whether Qin Zheng and the others can cultivate to a high level using these techniques depends on their individual opportunities in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this...this is far too valuable!"

Qin Zheng held a jade slip, his hands trembling slightly. He had only glanced through it before, but he had already discerned the extraordinary nature of this cultivation technique; it was a genuine Dao Integration Realm technique!
The other Qiankun Sect disciples also received cultivation techniques suitable for them.

In addition to their cultivation techniques, each person also possesses one or two magical treasures.

Even the worst of these magical treasures are top-grade treasures, but for the Qiankun Sect disciples whose cultivation is currently only at the Golden Core stage, they are already coveted treasures.

"Take them," Lu Qing said calmly. "These things would just gather dust if they stayed in my hands. Giving them to you might actually be of some use to you."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Qin Zheng took a deep breath. He knew that since Lu Qing had said that, he wouldn't take these things back.

So he did not continue to refuse, but instead bowed deeply in thanks.

The other disciples also bowed and expressed their gratitude in unison.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

He did these things partly as a form of compensation.

After all, the reason why Qin Zheng and the others were captured and tortured in the Holy Alliance's prison was because of him.

Just then, Lu Qing noticed Ye Qingzhu at the edge of the crowd, a hesitant look on her face, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Miss Ye, what's troubling you?" Lu Qing asked.

Ye Qingzhu was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Lu Qing had seen her expression. She hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, I have a favor to ask,” Ye Qingzhu said softly. “However, this request is somewhat presumptuous. If you find it difficult, please just pretend I never said it…”

"Speak freely," Lu Qing said.

Ye Qingzhu took a deep breath, raised her head, her eyes filled with anticipation and worry: "Senior, I would like to ask you to help me deduce the whereabouts of my master."

"Master?" Lu Qing was slightly taken aback.

"Yes." Ye Qingzhu nodded, her tone filled with deep guilt and longing.

"Back then, when we were captured by the sect leader and were to be handed over to the Holy Alliance envoy to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, our master tried his best to stop it."

Although he was a Nascent Soul Realm expert and one of the strongest in the Qiankun Sect, he was ultimately overwhelmed by the combined attack of the sect leader and a group of elders, and forced to flee severely injured.

At this point, Ye Qingzhu's eyes reddened slightly: "So many years have passed, I don't know how Master's injuries are, whether he is alive or dead..."

I feel quite worried whenever I think about it.

However, I was previously imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and could barely protect myself, so I had no power to search for my master.

Although I escaped later, with my cultivation level, even if I returned to the Qiankun Sect, I probably wouldn't be able to find any trace of my master..."

She knew that Lu Qing's cultivation was unfathomable, and he was now a powerful being in the Dao Integration Realm.

It is said that powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm all possess the art of divination, enabling them to deduce heavenly secrets and predict good and bad fortune.

That's why she mustered up her courage and wanted to ask Lu Qing for help to see if she could deduce her master's whereabouts.

Even just knowing whether her master was alive or dead would put her at ease.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing nodded calmly: "This is not difficult, I agree."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

"Don't thank me yet." Lu Qing waved his hand. "Do you have any of your master's personal items on you? The more closely they are related to his aura, the more accurate the calculation will be."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's joyful expression froze instantly.

She thought about it carefully, and the joy on her face gradually turned into bitterness. She slowly shook her head.

When they were captured by the sect leader, all their storage bags, magical treasures, and tokens were confiscated.

Later, he was imprisoned in the Holy Alliance Prison, and he didn't even leave behind a single personal item.

Having been rescued by Lu Qing and never returning to the sect, what items on him could possibly be related to his master?

"No..." Ye Qingzhu murmured softly, the expectation in her eyes gradually dimming, "I don't have anything from Master..."

She thought she finally had a glimmer of hope, but she didn't expect to get stuck at the very first step.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng and the others frowned and pondered, looking for anything on themselves that might be related to Daoist Mo Xuan.

But they were all arrested together back then, and they were also penniless.

"What should we do..." Qin Zheng frowned and said, "Without a token, it is indeed much more difficult to make calculations."

I once heard an elder in the sect say that deducing heavenly secrets is inherently difficult; without the guidance of a specific aura, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Upon hearing this, the light in Ye Qingzhu's eyes dimmed even further.

However, at that moment, Lu Qing spoke up, "It's alright."

Ye Qingzhu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Fellow Daoist Lu?"

“Even without any items, we can still make calculations.” Lu Qing’s expression was calm, and his tone was indifferent. “It will just take a little longer.”

His current level of divination has reached an extremely profound level.

He was the one who deduced the story of Qin Zheng and Ye Qingzhu being imprisoned in the Holy Alliance's Heavenly Prison.

At that time, he did not have Qin Zheng and the others' items in his possession, but only made deductions based on the causal intersection between himself and them.

He was already able to do this even before he achieved the Dao Integration stage, so now that he has, it is naturally even easier for him.

Finding the whereabouts of a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is no problem for him, even without a token to guide him.

"What is your master's name?" Lu Qing asked.

Ye Qingzhu nodded quickly, suppressing her excitement, and said, "My master's Daoist name is Mo Xuan, and he is also known as Daoist Mo Xuan."

Lu Qing nodded slightly and said no more.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers gently spread, and a hazy light gradually condensed in his palm.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and then a virtual space about a foot in diameter quickly formed in Lu Qing's palm.

Within that space, the Milky Way spun, and countless points of light flickered, as if the vast starry sky had been condensed into a small space.

"This is……"

Qin Zheng and the others held their breath.

Although the galaxy in the palm of his hand was merely an illusion, it gave one a sense of vastness and boundlessness.

It was as if it wasn't a small illusion, but a real universe, only compressed into the palm of Lu Qing's hand by his great supernatural powers.

Lu Qing remained calm, his gaze fixed on the swirling starry river.

The points of light in the Milky Way began to accelerate, as if an invisible hand was plucking the threads of fate.

Countless scenes flickered in the starry sky: mountains and rivers, cities and sects, cultivators battling, and mortals farming...

The images flashed by like a revolving lantern, so fast that it was dazzling.

Qin Zheng and the others only glanced at it a few times before feeling dizzy and quickly looked away.

They knew that this was the Heavenly Dao's oppressive power generated during the deduction of heavenly secrets, which they could not possibly look directly at with their cultivation level.

Ye Qingzhu, however, endured her discomfort and stared intently at the Milky Way.

She knew that her master's whereabouts were in those countless images.

Time passed little by little.

After about ten breaths, the speed at which the Milky Way rotated gradually slowed down.

Finally, the scene freezes on a quiet valley.

Deep in that valley, there was a simple cave dwelling.

Inside the cave, a Taoist priest with a somewhat hunched back sat cross-legged, his aura fluctuating, clearly practicing his internal energy to heal his injuries.

The Taoist's face was somewhat aged, with a hint of weariness and haggardness between his brows, but his eyes remained clear and bright, revealing a sense of resilience and indomitable spirit.

"Master!"

When Ye Qingzhu saw the Taoist priest, she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.

That was her master, Daoist Mo Xuan.

Although many years had passed, and although her master's back was more hunched than before and his face showed signs of vicissitude, she recognized him at a glance.

"Master is still alive... Master is still alive..." Ye Qingzhu murmured to herself, tears welling up in her eyes.

Over the years, although she had always thought about her master, deep down she had already prepared for the worst.

After all, back then, his master was seriously injured and fled, facing the pursuit of the sect leader, and so many years have passed without any news of him...

Now that she has seen her master alive with her own eyes, the huge weight in her heart has finally been lifted.

"Master's injuries haven't healed yet..." Ye Qingzhu looked at the fluctuating breath in the image, her eyes filled with heartache and worry.

Lu Qing nodded: "He was seriously injured back then, and it was a miracle that he survived. He should have been in seclusion to heal his injuries all these years, but his injuries were too severe and his recovery was extremely slow."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu immediately turned around and bowed to Lu Qing: "Fellow Daoist Lu, may I ask you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qing's figure disappeared from the spot.

Ye Qingzhu was taken aback, then realized that Lu Qing had gone to pick up his master!
Her heart leaped into her throat, and she stared nervously at the spot where Lu Qing had disappeared, her hands clenching tightly together. Qin Zheng and the others also gathered around, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity.

After a few breaths, the power of space re-emerged within the cave.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and then Lu Qing's figure reappeared.

Beside him was another person, the hunched-over Taoist priest who had appeared in the previous scene.

"Master!"

Ye Qingzhu could no longer control her emotions. She rushed forward, knelt down in front of the Taoist priest, and tears streamed down her face.

Mo Xuan Daoist was still in a daze.

He was healing himself in his cave when he suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.

He thought it was his injury acting up or something going wrong with his cultivation, so he quickly stopped and tried to steady himself.

However, before he could react, his vision blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar cave.

He instinctively became alert, circulating his spiritual energy to prepare for any potential dangers.

However, the next moment, he saw a figure that he could hardly believe.

"Light...light bamboo?"

Master Mo Xuan stared wide-eyed at his disciple kneeling before him in disbelief.

He thought he was seeing things and blinked hard, but the disciple in front of him was still clear.

Not only Ye Qingzhu, but also Qin Zheng, Chu Xiaojing... all the disciples who were captured by the sect leader and handed over to the Holy Alliance envoy back then are actually here!

"What... what's going on?" Mo Xuan Daoist murmured, momentarily at a loss for words.

Ye Qingzhu raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and choked out, "Master, you're alright, that's so good... so good..."

Mo Xuan Daoist took a deep breath, suppressing his shock and doubt, and reached out to help Ye Qingzhu up.

His gaze swept over the disciples, then looked at the cave dwelling, and finally landed on Lu Qing, who was standing not far away with his hands behind his back.

With just one glance, Mo Xuan Dao Ren's pupils suddenly contracted.

The young man stood there, seemingly ordinary, with not even a trace of spiritual energy emanating from him.

However, with his cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm, he could vaguely sense that the young man seemed to be integrated with the entire world, and his every move subtly conformed to some mysterious Daoist rhythm.

He had only ever heard of this feeling from legendary Dao Integration Realm experts!

"Master, it was Fellow Daoist Lu who brought you here."

Ye Qingzhu wiped away her tears and quickly explained, "Fellow Daoist Lu is a powerful expert in the Dao Integration Realm. He just used his divination technique to find your whereabouts and then used his supernatural powers to move you from your cave to here."

"A Dao Integration Realm... Great Power?"

Master Mo Xuan gasped.

Although he guessed that the young man's cultivation was unfathomable, he was still shocked when he actually heard the words "Dao Integration Realm".

The Dao Integration Realm!

That is a realm that countless cultivators dream of but can never reach in their lifetime.

He has cultivated for nearly ten thousand years, but he is only at the peak of the third tribulation of the primordial spirit, and he cannot even cross the fourth tribulation.

And this seemingly young man in front of me has actually reached that legendary realm?
and many more.

Mo Xuan Daoist suddenly remembered something: it was rumored that the true bodies of Dao Integration Realm experts could not enter the Great World, so this young man before him must be...

"A divine sense clone." Daoist Mo Xuan sensed it carefully and was even more shocked. "It really is a divine sense clone!"

He could sense that although the young man before him had an aura that was in harmony with heaven and earth, he seemed to lack the realism of a flesh and blood body.

Those are the characteristics of a divine thought clone as recorded in ancient texts!
"Ok?"

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised that a cultivator at the third stage of the Nascent Soul realm could actually sense the aura of his divine sense clone. This Taoist was quite interesting.

"Master, what exactly happened all these years?" Ye Qingzhu couldn't help but ask. "How did you escape? How badly were you injured? Why didn't you come looking for us?"

When Mo Xuan Daoist came to his senses, he looked at his disciple's concerned eyes and felt a warm current surge in his heart.

He sighed softly and said slowly, "The story of what happened back then is a long one..."

It turns out that after Mo Xuan Daoist was seriously injured and fled, he did not go far.

He knew that given the sect leader's temperament, he would definitely send people to hunt him down. If he fled too far, he would be more likely to leave traces.

So he did the opposite, finding a secluded cave in a desolate mountain not far from the Qiankun Sect, setting up a concealment formation, and hiding inside.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

The sect leader sent out hunters to search for several days, turning the area within thousands of miles upside down, but they missed the desolate mountain right under their noses.

Once the storm had passed, Mo Xuan Daoist quietly left, fleeing to a remote valley with sparse spiritual energy, where he opened a cave dwelling and secluded himself to heal his injuries.

However, he was too badly injured; not only was his physical body damaged, but his primordial spirit was also cracked.

Such an injury, if it were treated with rare and precious materials or with the help of a master, might be able to heal quickly.

But he was all alone and dared not show his face to seek help, so he could only rely on himself to slowly recover.

This seclusion lasted for decades.

To this day, his injuries have only recovered to about 30-40%.

"Over the years, I have always thought of you all." Master Mo Xuan looked at his disciples with guilt in his eyes. "But my injuries are too severe. I can barely protect myself, let alone go to the Holy Alliance to save you... I am sorry for what I did."

"Master, please don't say that!" Ye Qingzhu hurriedly said, "If it weren't for your life-risking rescue back then, we would have been executed by the sect leader long ago."

You gave us the chance to live; we are so grateful, how could we possibly blame you?

"Yes, Uncle Master," Qin Zheng nodded. "It is most important that you take care of yourself. Although we suffered a lot in the Heavenly Prison, we were able to escape after Fellow Daoist Lu returned. In a way, it was a turn of good fortune after all the bad times."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan Daoist's gaze fell on Lu Qing once again.

He took a deep breath and solemnly bowed deeply to Lu Qing: "Thank you, senior, for saving these disciples and for helping me reunite with them. I will never forget your great kindness!"

Although he was much older than Lu Qing, in the world of cultivation, those who have reached the highest level are given priority.

Lu Qing was a powerful cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, and he addressed him as "senior" willingly.

"It was nothing, no need for formalities," Lu Qing said with a smile. "Besides, Miss Ye and the others are of the same generation, so there's no need for you to be so reserved."

Master Mo Xuan straightened up, looked at his disciples, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

Although these disciples suffered some hardships, they all survived.

Moreover, he could sense that the cultivation levels of these disciples had all improved, especially Qin Zheng, who seemed to be only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

It seems that the hardships they have endured over the years have become a whetstone for them.

"Oh, right, Master." Ye Qingzhu suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "You are injured, why don't you stay here to recuperate? This cave was given to us by Fellow Daoist Lu. It is full of spiritual energy and is much better than your valley."

Mo Xuan Daoist was slightly taken aback and looked at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing nodded: "I have already given this cave to Qin Zheng and the others. You can do whatever you want with it."

Mo Xuan Daoist remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Since that's the case, then this old man will shamelessly stay."

His current injuries definitely require a place with abundant spiritual energy to recuperate.

Moreover, being able to be with his disciples was something he had longed for all these years.

"That's wonderful!" Ye Qingzhu cried tears of joy and thanked Lu Qing again, "Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lu, for making this possible!"

Qin Zheng and the others also expressed their gratitude.

Lu Qing nodded slightly and said nothing more.

He turned and looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, who were looking around in the distance, and waved.

Xiao Yan understood and walked over with Xiao Li and the others.

Seeing this, Ye Qingzhu and the others knew that Lu Qing was about to leave.

They quickly got up, wanting to see him off, but Lu Qing's figure had already faded away.

"Fellow Daoist Lu..." Ye Qingzhu wanted to say something, but before she could finish speaking, she found that Lu Qing's figure had completely disappeared.

Also disappearing were Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, as well as Bai Jiao and Wu Xing.

Inside the cave, only the disciples of the Qiankun Sect and the newly arrived Daoist Mo Xuan remained.

"This Senior Lu is truly..." Daoist Mo Xuan looked at the spot where Lu Qing disappeared, filled with emotion, "He's like a dragon whose head appears but whose tail is never seen."

Ye Qingzhu nodded and said softly, "We will forever remember Fellow Daoist Lu's kindness."

However, there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

Similarly, Chu Xiaojing, who was standing to the side, also looked dejected.

Because they all knew that after parting ways with Lu Qing this time, they didn't know if they would ever have the chance to see each other again.

Perhaps this farewell will be forever.

Lu Qing led Xiao Yan and Xiao Li away from the underground cave.

He used his spatial teleportation technique, taking a single step that traversed several continents.

Before long, they arrived in a completely different world.

The sky here is overcast, obscuring the sun and moon, and a chilly atmosphere permeates the air.

All around were continuous black mountains, covered with strange, dark red vegetation that, from a distance, resembled patches of congealed blood.

"Brother, where is this?" Xiaoyan looked around curiously.

"Outside the entrance to the secret realm where the Netherworld Palace is located," Lu Qing said calmly. (End of Chapter)
