I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 568 - 363: West State Spirit Mountain, Sneaking In, Sudden Murder
"This West State has indeed undergone many changes; Suspended Mountain has great ambitions," Lu Qing sighed.
At this moment, he was outside a small city in West State, in front of a not-so-tall mountain peak.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a flurry of construction for the building of a Buddhist temple and the carving of Buddha statues.
At the foot of the mountain, civilians were prostrating themselves step by step, their faces full of piety as they made their pilgrimage up the mountain.
Such scenes, Lu Qing had seen quite a few on his way here.
Although he had never been to West State before, he had some understanding of it.
He knew that although there was a tradition of believing in Buddhism here, it should not be as fervent as what he was seeing now.
"If this continues, it won’t be long before Suspended Mountain truly takes control of West State."
Lu Qing was well aware of the power of faith.
With the methods of Suspended Mountain, if given a bit more time, it would probably not be long before the whole of West State fell into their complete control, as impregnable as a fortified stronghold.
When that time came and they were free to act, they would probably think of ways to deal with him.
"These bald donkeys, after tens of thousands of years, still follow the same old paths."
"Yan," looking at this scene, also said, "In the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, this West State was the stronghold of many Buddhist Sects.
I didn’t expect that this time, it would be Suspended Mountain dominating alone."
"That might not necessarily be the case," Lu Qing said lightly, "Whether Suspended Mountain wants to retake control of West State depends on whether it has that capability."
After speaking, he left with Little Li and continued forward.
Those who built the temples and carved the statues were just ordinary craftsmen, naturally, Lu Qing had no intention of troubling them.
His target was not here.
After leaving the small city, Lu Qing deployed his Spirit Talisman and, like a gust of wind, flitted through the mountains and forests.
This time, he did not head elsewhere but made a beeline for the west side of West State.
Now that he knew of Suspended Mountain’s schemes in West State, he needn’t bother with other pointless actions and could strike directly at the heart.
Under the enhancement of the Spirit Talisman, Lu Qing’s speed had exceeded the scope of the Innate Realm.
Half a day later, he reached the western side of West State.
Lu Qing looked ahead and saw a continuous range of mountains coming into view.
The most conspicuous was a majestic high mountain that soared into the clouds, seated upon the vast land.
Clouds and fog could only linger halfway up the mountain, obscuring the scenery above.
"Lingshan Mountain Range, I should have thought of this; this is where the secret entrance to Suspended Mountain lies."
Lu Qing looked at the magnificent scene before him, silently pondering.
This Lingshan Mountain Range, though not as vast and majestic as the Central State Sacred Mountain, sacred and inviolable,
was also the vast mountain range he had seen second only to the Sacred Mountain.
Compared to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains after Jiuli Village, it was much inferior.
"I had visited this Lingshan Mountain Range once before."
Yan’s figure also appeared next to Lu Qing, looking at that mountain range shrouded in clouds and fog, showing an indescribable look in his eyes.
"In the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, this place was the ancestral courtyard of the Buddhist faith. Back then, the Lingshan Mountain Range was much more majestic and commanding.
All cultivators passing through here had to refrain from flying and pass by land.
Otherwise, it would be seen as a provocation to the Buddhist Sect."
"So these bald donkeys have been so overbearing since ancient times," Lu Qing chuckled lightly, "No wonder the next generation is twisted when the old is crooked; if the root is like that, how can it possibly straighten out."
"Little Li, let’s go."
Lu Qing’s Divine Soul Talisman within his third eye began to pulsate. Then, the aura emanating from his body swiftly converged and became almost undetectable.
At the same time, his figure gradually vanished, eventually disappearing completely.
As for Little Li, it was even simpler.
It simply leapt lightly and had already slipped into a spatial gap, hiding even more thoroughly than Lu Qing.
Divine Soul Concealing Technique, Invisibility Talisman.
Watching Lu Qing use these two techniques to completely conceal his form, "Yan" felt amazed.
Lu Qing knew too much.
The heritage from the Divine Talisman Sect combined with that of Li Huo Sect made his understanding of the Rune Path as profound as his accomplishments in body refinement.
Furthermore, Lu Qing was far more cautious than it had imagined.
After using transformation techniques to alter his divine soul aura and appearance and don a mask among other disguises.
Now he even used Concealing Technique and the Invisibility Talisman to completely hide his form.
Incredibly cautious to the extreme.
Somehow, "Yan" even began to feel a bit sorry for Suspended Mountain.
To have provoked such a powerful and extremely cautious enemy was critical, and the most important part was that this enemy’s talent in cultivation was outrageously incredible.
Plus, there was the Black Night Spirit Fox that was equally elusive, possessing spatial talents...
Just considering it from another perspective, "Yan" felt a chill in its heart.
It could even foresee the impending woe of Suspended Mountain.
Once well-hidden, Lu Qing began to lead Little Li and infiltrate towards Lingshan Mountain Range ahead.
Before long, he arrived in front of that most towering and majestic mountain.
The journey up was exceptionally smooth.
After all, Suspended Mountain had only emerged not long ago and had been busy subjugating the many sects in West State to make them their own.
They had yet to begin true construction on the Lingshan Mountain Range, and even the Sect Protection Array had not been set up, naturally unable to detect Lu Qing’s trail.
Approaching that towering mountain, a cacophony of human voices traveled from the mountain to Lu Qing’s ears.
The mountain was also a hub of construction, with temples being built and Buddha statues being carved.
It was even more significant than what Lu Qing had seen elsewhere in West State.
For instance, he saw from afar on a cliff nearly a hundred zhang high, many craftsmen with the cultivation of martial artists were chiseling a brand new colossal Buddha statue.
