Chapter 925 Profound Understanding (Part 6)
"This newcomer..."
A hint of apprehension flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
Last time, I originally intended to use the welcome banquet as an excuse to use a little trick to find out the other party's secrets, teach Han Yi a lesson, and hopefully make him back down.
I don't know how it happened.
For no apparent reason, I found myself rambling on about my innermost thoughts.
They almost revealed it.
Now, recalling what happened that day...
My memory is somewhat hazy, and I can't recall the details at all.
All I know is that I was a bit confused at the time, but I felt that Han Yi was a nice guy, and that our conversations were quite interesting, so I just said a few more words.
Then, after talking for a little longer and staying a little longer, I accidentally blurted out my true thoughts.
This kind of thing...
For members of the Hundred Veins, especially someone like Lu Chenxin who has special protection for his soul, this is simply unbelievable.
A clear and tranquil mind, a pure and innocent heart.
People at his level have stable souls and spirits, and can completely control their mind and body, ensuring consistency between their words and actions.
What I want to say, and what I don't want to say, comes entirely from my heart.
So when he realized he had said something he shouldn't have, Lu Chenxin was so frightened that he didn't dare to linger and hurriedly left to find out why.
The mind wanders, and the spirit is lost.
This is a matter of life and death.
However, after he returned home, he tried several methods to check his body, but found nothing abnormal.
Perhaps it was a moment of carelessness; he subconsciously looked down on the newcomer, and that's when he unintentionally let slip what he meant.
Lu Chenxin had thought about it and could only conclude that this was the case.
However, he also knew that the fact that no problems were found in his body did not mean that Han Yi was without problems.
During the few days he disappeared, Lu Chenxin used his connections and various channels to find out Han Yi's background.
Try to look around and see if you can find anything suspicious.
It's okay if you don't look for it.
Upon further investigation, they discovered something amiss.
The suspicion that Lin Mu was an illegitimate child has been ruled out.
But Han Yi's other secret was discovered by him.
According to intelligence reports.
This Han Yi... came to the North with ulterior motives. It wasn't to keep his promise to send the former sect leader, Chun Rongrong, back to her roots.
Rather, he had offended Emperor Yuanmiao in the Central Plains and had no choice but to move his entire family to the north to escape persecution.
The Yuanmiao Sect is a behemoth that is no less powerful than the Demon Saint Palace, possessing equally terrifying strength.
Lu Chenxin had naturally heard of the Yuanmiao Sect.
It's understandable that he would seek refuge in the north after offending Emperor Yuanmiao.
The key issue lies in the other suspicious points in the intelligence.
The organization that provided Lu Chenxin with intelligence also had branches in the Central Plains and had even interacted directly with Han Yi, so the intelligence they provided was extremely detailed, including some of Han Yi's experiences in the Central Plains.
This Han Yi... seems to have never cultivated his divine soul before coming to the North, and he didn't even have the opportunity to come into contact with the Forging God Technique.
Perhaps the previous sect leader, Chun Rongrong, left behind a cultivation technique before her death, entrusting it to Han Yi. However, after a brief discussion with Lin Mu, Lu Chenxin immediately ruled out this possibility.
Let's analyze it in summary.
Lu Chenxin roughly deduced the timeline when Han Yi could access the cultivation of the divine soul.
This opportunity will only come after you arrive in the North.
If we continue along this line of thought...
In other words.
This newcomer named Han Yi came to the North and then to the Myriad Phenomena School.
All things considered, it will take about a month.
He went from being a complete novice who knew nothing to successively crossing the three realms of enlightenment, soul awakening, and spirit condensation, barely approaching the level of profound understanding and spiritual concentration.
Enlightenment, Soul Awakening, Spirit Condensation... These three basic realms are the simplest and easiest to break through, yet most members of the Hundred Meridians are stuck at these levels.
But who has ever seen someone cross three realms in a month as easily as eating and drinking?
If I told you, probably no one would believe me.
Lu Chenxin was naturally somewhat skeptical as well.
But he had a vague feeling that, although it seemed impossible, this was the truth.
"This person is definitely suspicious... Either... their talent is unprecedentedly outstanding... or they are hiding a huge secret..."
Lu Chenxin wasn't stupid; he quickly came up with two possible conclusions.
"No matter the reason... it seems to pose a huge threat to me right now, so..." He narrowed his eyes, having made a decision.
A sixth sense, seemingly from nowhere, foreshadows that there are many problems and suspicious points surrounding Han Yi...
He has to be on guard.
Taking the initiative and preventing problems before they arise is the best strategy.
Lu Chenxin had already prepared a backup plan.
It would be best if the leader of the Myriad Phenomena School could successfully take over...
If I can't take it over...
A slight smirk played at the corners of his mouth.
Clang... clang...
"Alright, that concludes today's morning class. If you have any questions, feel free to come and ask me anytime."
As the bell rang, Lin Mu spoke at the opportune moment, announcing the end of get out of class.
The main hall was unusually quiet; not even a word of farewell rang out. The few remaining disciples were all preoccupied, their brows furrowed, looking absent-minded as they slowly made their way out of the hall. With fewer and fewer people and the school increasingly declining, these people needed to find a way out.
"Why…..."
Lin Mu sighed and didn't say anything more. He was actually numb and disheartened.
All their hopes were pinned on the two people in front of them.
"Han Yi, you... stay behind for a moment." Lin Mu composed himself, gave the order, and then turned his gaze to the other side, "Chen Xin, you stay behind too..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
Lu Chenxin, the successor he valued so highly, actually... disappeared quietly without a word at some point.
"What's going on..." Lin Mu frowned deeply. He had originally planned to use the morning class today to gather Han Yi and Lu Chenxin together and briefly reveal his thoughts.
The struggle for the leadership of a faction should never be a life-or-death struggle; a faction leader and deputy faction leader is also a good situation.
As for the difference in inherited soul artifacts...
Lin Mu gritted his teeth, pulled some strings, and with the resources of the Myriad Manifestations School, acquiring another Soul Weapon wouldn't be a problem.
only…...
A look of worry appeared in Lin Mu's eyes.
I have a feeling that Lu Chenxin has been acting a little strange these past few days...
"Elder?"
Lin Mu came to his senses and realized that more than half a day had passed.
Han Yi, who was standing in front of them, had also been waiting for a long time.
But he showed no sign of impatience, only offering a gentle reminder, which brought Lin Mu some comfort.
"Never mind. Since Chen Xin is busy, I'll find an opportunity to mention it another day..." Lin Mu felt helpless and could only make arrangements for Han Yi first. "Thunder Cave...it seems you've already been there." Lin Mu asked in a deep voice.
"I've been there a few times. I've learned a lot." Han Yi nodded.
"Observing your condition, lightning is overflowing and divine intent is manifesting. You should have met the requirements." Lin Mu revealed a satisfied smile. A realm that an ordinary disciple might reach in a year, the other party only took a little over half a month.
Putting aside his talent, what's most admirable about this young man is his unwavering determination.
During this time, Lin Mu occasionally saw Han Yi's daily routine.
Morning lessons, practice, rest, main hall, thunder cave, living quarters... For twenty or thirty days in a row, there was never any change, just repetition, repetition, and more repetition.
They practice even more asceticism than those so-called ascetics.
Therefore, Lin Mu was not surprised that Han Yi was able to catch up with the others' cultivation levels in a short period of time.
This kind of person...
Lin Mu has met many qualified people.
I've seen quite a few people with perseverance.
But someone with both the qualifications and such perseverance...
This was the first time Lin Mu had met him.
In fact, compared to a sect leader, Han Yi's ascetic personality is more suited to be a reclusive elder, who cultivates diligently in ordinary times but steps in to resolve the crisis of the sect in a critical moment.
"How many Thunder Caves have you been to?" Lin Mu pressed for details. "The more thunder power you absorb that permeates your soul, the more abundant your accumulation, the more imagery you can choose from, and the power of the imagery you achieve will generate corresponding talents, making you far stronger than others."
"How many do ordinary people need?" Han Yi learned from his previous experience and was careful not to startle the other party by exceeding the expected progress.
"Based on past experience, it would be considered good if an ordinary person could absorb the lightning power of three or four lightning caves."
Lin Mu pondered for a moment. "Five Thunder Caves are a watershed. Five or more are considered upper-middle tier; they can condense 90% of thunder-attribute images. Seven or more are considered rare geniuses; they can freely choose any thunder-attribute image. And beyond that…"
They can be categorized as unparalleled geniuses, appearing only once every few centuries. The most prolific among them was the founder of the "Four Seasons Demon Blade," who was also the school's patriarch, having absorbed the lightning power of ten Thunder Caves…”
"Ten?!" Han Yi's face showed astonishment. "As expected of the Ancestor, ordinary people simply cannot reach that level. I only managed to enter seven Thunder Caves at most, and before I could even fully absorb the energy in the seventh one, I felt a piercing pain in my soul and the thunderous intent surging, forcing me to leave the Thunder Cave..."
"Six and a half? That's seven, which is already quite good!" Lin Mu smiled with satisfaction. "This means that the images recorded in the school's secret manual can be chosen at will, and the power of the image after it is achieved will be 20% stronger than others."
"A 20% increase..." Han Yi fell into deep thought.
He absorbed more than just seven lightning caves. From the foundational lightning caves for novice disciples with weak lightning power, to the breakthrough lightning caves for those with abundant lightning power.
He absorbed all the lightning power from the more than ten lightning caves without feeling any disturbance to his soul.
Left with no other choice, Han Yi had to wander around while searching.
It took several days for the lightning power in the Thunder Cave to recover, and several more days to absorb the lightning power before I could barely feel anything again.
In total, he must have drained at least thirty or forty thunder caves before the divine palace was filled and the divine soul was attached to the thunder intent.
Fortunately, there are few disciples in the school now, and people are restless. No one will go to the Thunder Cave to cultivate. They are all trying to build connections, find loopholes, and find a way out.
Therefore, no one could discover Han Yi's monstrous behavior.
"A 20% increase... it may seem small, but in actual combat, it's an overwhelming force..."
Lin Mu explained simply: "Against an enemy of the same level, under a certain energy environment, if the imagery has 20% more power, it's equivalent to ten units of energy. You can draw upon two more units, while the opponent draws two fewer. Before the battle even begins, the outcome is already 70/30..."
Tongxuan (Part 4) recalls... the key point... Chunmu should be changed to Linmu, a typo.
