On that day, the Clear Moon Peak was engulfed in flames, and seven cold swords were plunged into Ye Zhao's body. They were her seven most beloved disciples.
She had once risked severe inj...
Chapter 46: Heart Method Recognizes the Master
The other side.
On a high platform shrouded in clouds and mist, an ancient wooden house stands quietly in a place where spiritual energy gathers.
The wooden house was filled with curling smoke, and a faint blue light curtain was floating in the center of the house, reflecting the situation in the hall on the top of the mountain. Ye Zhao stood under thousands of talismans, like a lone star walking against the light.
The little boy offered a cup of warm tea with both hands and said softly, "Master, the tea is ready."
The old man sitting in the main seat in the room raised his hand slightly and took the cup of tea with a flick of his sleeve.
His eyebrows and temples were old and gray. He sat there as silent as a dead tree or branch, but there was a deep and abysmal pressure restrained within him.
Xuanji Sanren narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Zhao in the light curtain, "Is she the little female cultivator you mentioned before?"
"Yes." The child nodded quickly, his tone filled with undisguised admiration. "Her name is Ye Zhao. She's quite different from the other cultivators who came in this time. She doesn't fight or compete, and she doesn't make a fuss. Yet, she always manages to go where others can't."
Xuanji Sanren pondered for a moment, a long-lost glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes: "...If she can understand something, I can also end this regret before I die."
Of the first group of people who entered the secret realm, he is now the only one left.
He has been practicing and contemplating in the depths of the secret realm for more than three hundred years, but he has not yet fully grasped even the first level of its essence.
I have also witnessed countless talented people fail here, some with their souls shattered, and some with inner demons taking over their bodies and dying.
Now, like those people, his time is coming to an end, but he is unable to comprehend the true meaning of this mental method.
He looked at Ye Zhao in the light curtain, with a hint of desire in his eyes.
"If she could really uncover some of the secrets..." he murmured, "...I could finally put an end to this regret before I die..."
"Since she can reach the top of the mountain, can she..."
However, the old man's gaze was fixed on the fluctuations of the golden elixir spiritual power around Ye Zhao, and the hope that had originally risen was extinguished as if by cold water.
"It turns out that she is still only at the Golden Core stage."
"Alas...I can't see it anymore."
"Indeed, countless people have come and gone over the centuries, yet... how could she... Alas, in this world, I'm afraid no one can truly comprehend this inner method..."
The little boy's eyes were red, "Master, is there really no hope?"
"We've been guarding here for hundreds of years, watching countless geniuses fail in their quests... I thought this time, she might be able to give us a different result."
Xuanji Sanren was silent for a long while, as if even his aura had aged a bit. "It's a pity that her cultivation is too low. It's difficult."
—
In the main hall.
Ye Zhao looked up at the mental method in which thousands of spiritual talismans were interwoven into a formation, and slowly stepped into the center of the hall.
Spiritual energy swirled around her, flowing into her sea of consciousness like a tide.
She closed her eyes and extended a wisp of her spiritual consciousness to probe into the mental array. Then, a grand will like the shaking of the galaxy came towards her.
In just a moment, the scene before her eyes suddenly changed.
The world seemed to collapse, and she was no longer standing in the hall, but in the boundless universe.
The stars were shining brightly, the vast galaxy was hanging upside down, and the spiritual light from all directions shook her soul like thunder. One by one, the spiritual talismans transformed into rune streams like falling stars, smashing towards her sea of consciousness like a tidal wave!
If it were someone else, I'm afraid their consciousness would collapse immediately.
But Ye Zhao stood quietly in the void, with his five fingers slightly open, allowing those talismans carrying pressure to penetrate his sea of consciousness and merge into his thoughts.
There was no expected pain, but it was surprisingly smooth, as if these characters were written for her.
Not only did her soul not suffer serious damage, but it gradually became clearer as the talisman was infused into her. In her sea of consciousness, the originally warm golden elixir began to quietly emit silver-white starlight, like the moon shining on the clouds.
The three people in the hall were waiting to see the funny backlash of her crazy spiritual consciousness.
Yu Canglan stood with his arms folded, having already anticipated that Ye Zhao would collapse the moment the impact of his mental method hit him.
Song Shiyu also had a gloomy look on his face, waiting to see Ye Zhao foaming at the mouth and destroying himself.
Luo Yinsheng felt a little reluctant, but shook his head and sighed.
But they were shocked to see that Ye Zhao's eyebrows were still calm as before, with no signs of pain or confusion in his mind. Instead, his aura became more and more steady, and even... began to rise slightly!
"She didn't suffer any backlash?!"
Yu Canglan put away his disdainful expression.
Song Shiyu's fingers tightened unconsciously, "No... This isn't normal! The three of us have been comprehending this method for a long time, and we only need to stop for an incense stick at most before we need to regulate our breathing. How could she, who is at the Golden Core stage,..."
at the same time,
A vision quietly emerged.
In the hall, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly stagnated, and then gathered towards Ye Zhao like a whale sucking water. Although there was no wind, circles of spiritual energy vortexes appeared in the hall, spreading out from her as the center.
The spiritual talisman of the mind method hanging high on the ceiling of the hall suddenly made a deep sound, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a phoenix.
boom!
A ray of red-gold talisman light exploded, and then condensed into the phantoms of huge talisman beasts.
Qilin, black tortoise, Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon...many strange images appeared above her head!
Yu Canglan suddenly took two steps forward, staring in disbelief at the slender, dreamlike figure in the center of the hall.
"This is a divine totem that can only be activated when the mind method recognizes its master! How, how is this possible..." Song Shiyu's lips trembled in shock.
Luo Yinsheng also took two steps back, his heart beating faster and faster.
No one knows better than them what this vision represents!
This female cultivator who only has the Golden Core Mirror will rise rapidly in the future and even change the entire cultivation continent!
The old man stared blankly at the light screen in front of him.
In the picture, spiritual light surged around the woman, and the Four Symbols Divine Patterns surrounded her body. The vast power of her spiritual consciousness washed over the entire hall like a sea wave, and the spiritual talisman of the mind method hanging high in the air was actually approaching her actively, turning into a talisman chain surrounding her sea of consciousness!
"She actually succeeded!"
The old man raised his hand tremblingly, but suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
“Master!”
The little boy rushed over in panic and fed the old man a life-extending pill that had been prepared long ago, but he swallowed it.
"You should get some rest."
The old man stood up stubbornly.
"For three hundred years, I have personally witnessed countless geniuses suffer here, but I never thought... I never thought that the one who made this mental method recognize its master would be a young Jindan!"
"If I don't go and see this young friend with my own eyes, I will die with my eyes wide open!"
"Help me to the main hall, quickly!"
——
In the main hall.
The spiritual energy condensed in Ye Zhao's body.
She stood in the center of the formation, a cinnabar-red mark quietly blossomed between her eyebrows, the golden elixir spun violently, and then suddenly exploded!
boom!
The Nascent Soul breaks out of the shell!
A blurry baby figure sat in the sea of consciousness, and a dazzling lotus seal appeared between the eyebrows!
The next moment...
Strange phenomena suddenly appeared in heaven and earth!
Thunder roared in the sky, and dark clouds rolled over the hall, as if an ancient mythical beast was roaring towards them!
