That night.
While playing chess with herself, Xiao Linlin suddenly felt a strange aura coming from beside the pool.
She looked up in surprise and saw a glimmer of light in the darkness, like a twinkling star, faint yet never extinguished.
"elder brother?"
Worried about Su Lin's safety, Xiao Linlin set off for the pool.
Her gaze fell upon a pool of water as black as ink, where Su Lin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, in the same posture as six months ago. Senior Li stood beside him, his right hand resting on his head, standing silently like a statue.
The old man and the young man maintained this posture for seven months, during which time a powerful internal energy surged, constantly flowing and traversing their bodies.
Until now, a new anomaly has occurred!
It was light, a soft and warm white light that enveloped the two of them, resembling the brightness of stars, yet it also pushed away everything around them, creating an absolute space that they could not merge into.
Xu Zhenshu had already been pushed away and was staring blankly at the scene before him.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Xiao Linlin didn't understand martial arts, so she asked softly from the side. Only then did Xu Zhenshu notice that Xiao Linlin had come. After glancing at her, she murmured and shook her head: "I don't understand either."
She was no mediocre person; although her cultivation had been ruined, she still possessed some expertise and insights, yet she couldn't understand what was happening before her eyes.
Logically speaking, the initiation should not be so abnormal. Even if there are some changes, at most the person receiving the initiation will have a rapid increase in power, or be unable to digest and master it quickly, thus showing a strong sense of oppression.
But Su Lin did not exude such an aura; he was not imposing at all, and even somewhat ethereal, as if he wanted to ascend to heaven amidst the rising and falling light.
Did the initiation fail?
Or is this... a different kind of law?
No one understood; the two women gazed at each other, waiting in silence.
They could vaguely sense that Su Lin was about to wake up.
This process was not marked by any earth-shattering breakthrough momentum, nor by any domineering internal energy that stirred up the darkness. It was merely a glimmer of starlight, and in the steady glow of the light, Su Lin slowly opened his eyes.
He awoke from his meditation, just as normal as before, so normal that he seemed completely unchanged, as if he had not become stronger or improved in any way.
"elder brother?!"
When Xiao Linlin saw Su Lin open her eyes, she couldn't help but ask softly.
Su Lin ignored her, and slightly raised his right hand, making a gesture towards his side.
Senior Li's body swayed slightly, about to fall, but he landed precisely in the spiritual light provided by Su Linxu, instead of falling into the black mud, and remained standing steadily.
This scene surprised Xiao Linlin, who vaguely felt that Su Lin also had prophetic abilities and could sense everything that was about to happen around him in advance.
"senior."
Su Lin sat cross-legged, looked up at his side, and spoke softly.
At his call, Senior Li slowly opened his eyes. His complexion was still rosy, but his eyes were filled with a deep weariness that he had never seen before.
Senior Li looked at Su Lin, a hint of a smile appearing amidst his weariness, and was about to speak: "You brat, you didn't even take it all..."
He was shocked to realize how terribly hoarse his voice was when he finally spoke.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Senior Li coughed a few times, rubbed his throat, and then continued, "Why don't you use it?"
"The senior's empowerment is already an immense favor; how could I bear to destroy the senior's life?"
Su Lin slowly shook his head. He sensed that Senior Li was giving him a spiritual empowerment while he was in meditation. At first, he resisted, but he couldn't resist the fact that he was at a critical moment of inspiration and enlightenment. He was thirsty for all nourishment and his body was completely out of his control.
The amount of spiritual light that Senior Li bestowed upon him was absorbed by his body until he was barely satiated. Only then could Su Lin begin to actively feed back spiritual light to Senior Li, so that he would not be completely drained.
After all, Su Lin cultivates the immortal path, which has a higher quality than martial arts true qi and internal force, and is not something that can be referenced by the ordinary martial arts initiation path.
If any other reclusive martial artist had performed this empowerment on Su Lin, they wouldn't have any helpful effect whatsoever; they would probably have been drained dry by Su Lin within a few days.
But Senior Li was too extraordinary. Not only was he not drained to death, but he also managed to withstand it for seven months!
During these seven months, he was practically the source of inspiration for Su Lin's enlightenment, constantly providing Su Lin with a continuous stream of pure true energy, vast and abundant, helping Su Lin to condense his own unique spiritual energy.
Senior Li merged his divine sense with Su Lin's, continuously conveying his swordsmanship insights, martial arts attainments, and the pinnacle of power that had been unmatched in the world for nearly a century at a level of consciousness.
The amount of true qi is as vast as the ocean!
To gain insight, one must readily draw upon a century of invincible experience!
I will teach you everything without reservation!
This is why Su Lin entered a deep meditation for a full seven months. He only had a normal moment of enlightenment and entered a deep meditation once, and he would wake up within a month or so.
However, Senior Li forcibly pulled him into an even deeper state of meditative enlightenment, allowing him to absorb and inherit 100% of Senior Li's power and at least 90% of his century-old experience in an incredible state.
This is not a quick way to gain experience provided by the mechanism, but it is similar in principle, sacrificing Senior Li in exchange for a major breakthrough in one's own self-learning ability.
"You little rascal, you've got quite the big mouth."
Senior Li took two steps, leaned against the wall and breathed slightly, but was still laughing: "You think you can absorb my life force and vitality so I can cultivate for another hundred years?"
Su Lin remained silent. Although Senior Li said that, Su Lin had actually left himself some room for maneuver during the initiation ceremony.
If he were to absorb the nutrients without restraint, even if Senior Li survived, he wouldn't live for more than a few years.
"I am far inferior to my seniors in terms of ability."
