"You too, remember, if you have any insights, don't get carried away, you must keep your mind focused and beware of anyone who might disrupt your thinking. Unless you are truly of one mind with the Zhu family and are willing to follow them until death, the Zhu family will have no suspicion of you and won't care even if your strength surpasses that of the Zhu family." Seeing that although these family heads had joined the Zhu family, most of them did not go along with the Zhu family, and some were even superficially united with the family, Mu Hanyan kindly reminded them.
After saying that, Mu Hanyan walked up the stairs.
Behind them, Yu Ziqi and the others all looked thoughtful. Mu Hanyan's words had made it so clear, if they still couldn't think of anything, then there was no point in being the head elder of this family.
Soon, Mu Hanyan reached the second floor of the Soul Forging Tower.
What surprised her was that this section of the Soul Tower looked like other high towers from the outside, with a larger bottom and a smaller top, but the inside was just the opposite. The second floor was actually much larger than the first. Obviously, there was a space formation in the tower.
With a larger area, there are of course more martial arts techniques engraved on the walls and the ground. Even Mu Hanyan did not expect that her three unique skills could be derived from so many magical sword skills.
Mu Hanyan wasn't in a hurry, pondering each one, imprinting them deep in her mind. While these divine sword techniques weren't as profound and exquisite as her three ultimate skills, many of them still amazed even her, bringing her many insights. At her level of cultivation, advancement becomes increasingly difficult, and sometimes a small coincidence or insight can bring a crucial opportunity.
Suddenly, a divine thought came towards Mu Hanyan to investigate, extremely subtle and secretive.
If it were someone else, they would not be able to detect the existence of this divine thought at all, but a cunning smile flashed across Mu Hanyan's lips, and she concentrated her divine thought and probed towards the divine thought that was spying on her.
Soon, she was surprised to discover that this wasn't just one person's divine consciousness, but the divine consciousness of several people gathered together! Earlier, Yu Ziqi had been disturbed by this divine consciousness and lost his mind. Mu Hanyan was a little puzzled. How could the Zhu family have such a master, possessing such a powerful divine consciousness? You know, even she, Mu Hanyan, could only use her divine consciousness to detect danger and couldn't penetrate other people's minds at all.
Only then did she realize that this wasn't just one person's divine consciousness, but the combined divine consciousness of several people. However, as far as Mu Hanyan knew, neither the Continent of Gods nor the Holy Court had such a mysterious, even terrifying, technique.
After further investigation, Mu Hanyan finally realized that within these several divine thoughts, there was another mysterious energy hidden, and it was relying on this energy that brought the several people's divine thoughts together. And this energy was exactly the same as the Qiankun Life and Death Seal on her body.
A light smile spread across Mu Hanyan's face. The divine consciousness that had invaded Yu Ziqi's mind, which had been knocked down by her finger, instantly vanished. Mu Hanyan only vaguely sensed that the divine consciousness seemed to pose no threat to her, so she boldly stepped onto the second floor of the Soul Forging Tower. But she couldn't figure out why it hadn't posed any threat.
Now, all the truth is revealed. It turns out that what the Zhu family relies on is the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death. However, just like the last time Guan Qingyun tried to kill her with the remaining seal, this time, the remaining seal owned by the Zhu family is still useless to her.
That divine thought was still spying on her, with a certain unscrupulousness. It was obvious that the other party didn't know that she had sensed the existence of this divine thought, let alone that she had discovered the secret. She would never have thought that such a divine thought would actually not hinder her at all.
"That's fine too. I'll give you a surprise later." Mu Hanyan sneered inwardly, put away her spiritual thoughts, and continued to ponder the various techniques on the wall...
"Grand Elder, she won't find out anything, right?" On the fifth floor of the Soul Forging Tower, the second elder of the Zhu family seemed to have noticed something and said to the Grand Elder with some concern.
"Do you think it's possible? It took my Zhu family nearly a thousand years to figure out how to activate this formation and concentrate the minds of several people. Looking at the Continent of Gods, with a history of millions of years, have you ever heard of such a mysterious technique? What can Mu Hanyan discover?" The elder said confidently.
"That's true." The second elder felt relieved.
"It's a pity that we haven't found the Kong family's patriarch's order. I wonder what kind of rare treasure is hidden in this formation that has such magical powers." The fourth elder said curiously.
"Take your time to look for it. Except for the Ye family, all the priest families within tens of thousands of miles are under the control of my Zhu family. If we check each territory carefully, we will eventually find it." said the elder.
"By the way, there is also Yu Ziqi. I didn't expect Mu Hanyan to be so powerful that she helped him escape from disaster." The fifth elder reminded.
"Hmph, he can hide for a while, but not forever. Let's deal with Mu Hanyan first, and then we'll slowly deal with him." The Great Elder snorted coldly.
"How about we start now?" the fourth elder said impatiently.
"No!" Zhu Xiangchen, who had been silent the whole time, flatly rejected his proposal. "She's still on the second floor. We're too far away. Our divine sense can only affect her mind, but we can't damage her at all. Besides, Ye Congyun and the others are on the first floor. If they find something wrong and come up to investigate, wouldn't that ruin everything? We should wait until she reaches the fourth floor before we take action. If we can damage her divine sense in one fell swoop, and with the help of the three elders of the Dou family, we'll definitely be able to put her to death."
"The Patriarch is right," the Fourth Elder nodded. "It's a pity that this formation consumes too much energy. Every time we activate it, our strength is greatly reduced. Otherwise, we could do it ourselves and not bother the three elders of the Dou Family."
"It's also because Mu Hanyan is too powerful. Otherwise, we can just send two people and a few guests to deal with her like we did to the Ye family." said the third elder.
From the sound of it, it seems that it is not right for Mu Hanyan to be so powerful, and she should just let them do whatever they want because of her weakness.
"Okay, let's stop talking. It looks like Mu Hanyan won't leave easily. We don't need to keep staring at her. Let's all take a good breath. In case anything unexpected happens, we can at least recover some strength to deal with it." said the Great Elder.
"With the six of us joining forces to injure his spiritual thoughts, and the three elders of the Dou family also taking action, what accidents could happen?" The fifth elder muttered, but still made a hand gesture and withdrew his spiritual thoughts together with the others.
…
After memorizing all the techniques in the Soul Forging Tower, Mu Hanyan went up to the third floor. Of course, there were more techniques recorded on this floor. Looking at the densely packed pictures and texts, even Mu Hanyan felt a sense of vastness.
Who knew who could have derived so many divine sword techniques from those three great skills? Mu Hanyan thought about it and decided that only those divine guardians who had once followed her could have done this.
