On the vast, boundless sea, the wind and waves were calm, like a giant sapphire. Suddenly, a faint light gradually rose from beneath the surface. It shone like a dazzling pearl, radiating a mesmerizing glow.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third stars appeared one after another. As if summoned by some mysterious force, they broke through the deep sea and flew towards the vast sky.
Each star shines with a unique light, some as bright as day, others as gentle as the moon, as if they were dancing with life.
As time went by, more and more stars appeared, their light converging to illuminate the entire sea surface.
These stars do not exist in isolation, but are interconnected, forming a magnificent and dazzling starry sky. They intertwine to create beautiful patterns and converge into dazzling bands of light.
Li Jianshi was completely stunned.
Countless dazzling stars seemed to be summoned, converging from all directions to gradually form a huge ball of light comparable to the sun, shining with a mesmerizing brilliance.
However, just as Li Jianshi was marveling at this wonder, the ball of light suddenly stopped moving and hovered above him.
Then, something unexpected happened—
The orbs of light began to slowly disperse, transforming into a dazzling rain of stars that fell gently down.
Faced with this sudden and wondrous sight, Li Jianshi couldn't help but widen his eyes, his heart filled with astonishment and amazement.
He couldn't help but reach out, trying to catch the phantoms of those shooting stars.
When his fingers touched one of the shooting stars, a strange feeling welled up inside him, as if he had established a connection with his entire sea of consciousness.
What shocked him even more was that he discovered he could clearly sense the energy contained in each star.
He had never seen anyone's sea of consciousness as brilliant and extraordinary as Li Mingke's.
He passed through the stars.
An exquisitely beautiful sword slowly came to a stop in front of him.
The blade is covered with exquisite patterns, each line meticulously crafted to present a delicate and smooth texture.
At the same time, the inlaid gemstones are dazzling.
From the tip to the tip, the sword's patterns and gemstone inlays showcase its luxury and preciousness.
“Shattered jade…”
Normally, he would have vehemently rejected this extremely "rustic" sword.
The sword's owner must have been mentally unstable to have forged such a magnificent yet unusable weapon.
But he now sensed an unusual aura emanating from this sword.
Li Mingke was definitely not its first owner.
He was certain.
Surprisingly, however, countless stars seemed to surround the sword like stars around the moon. They complemented each other perfectly, without any sense of conflict or disharmony, as if they were a perfect combination made by nature.
Each star twinkled with light, reflecting off the blade and giving the entire sword a mysterious yet solemn aura. The shattered jade stood there silently, yet exuded unparalleled power and majesty.
Normally, once a sword recognizes a master, it will never recognize a second master. But the Broken Jade was unusually obedient and floated quietly in Li Mingke's sea of consciousness.
He paused before the shattered jade.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly extended his right hand and gently and carefully touched the cold blade of the Broken Jade Sword.
Surprisingly, the broken jade did not react violently; it merely trembled slightly twice.
However, the next moment, it seemed to suddenly come to life, taking flight on its own and eventually hovering at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from him.
The distance is just right, allowing one to see its entirety while maintaining an indescribable sense of mystery.
It can only be admired from afar, not touched or handled.
But the moment he touched it, he sensed the overwhelming killing intent hidden beneath Suiyu's gentle exterior.
Just as he was preparing to explore further, the stars that had been surrounding him suddenly began to move.
They converged at an extremely high speed, forming a huge sphere of light that emitted a dazzling glow.
He was astonished by all of this, and before he could react, he felt himself being lifted up by an invisible force, like a light feather.
Immediately afterward, his vision blurred, and he was involuntarily sent flying.
When he regained consciousness, he found that he had left Li Mingke's sea of consciousness.
"Hmm..."
Li Jianshi rubbed his temples.
The impact of exiting his sea of consciousness caused his sea of consciousness to tremble as well.
It took him a long time to recover.
Li Mingke slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at his granddaughter with a complicated expression.
"How is it, Grandpa?" she asked, blinking her eyes.
With her eyes closed, she could sense a force quietly seeping into her consciousness.
The feeling was strangely wonderful, as if an invisible hand was gently touching the tranquil realm deep within her mind. But this force was not hostile in the slightest, so the ripples in her mind did not cause a violent, turbulent reaction.
Instead, it was like a gentle breeze brushing across the lake, leaving only subtle ripples. She could clearly sense the presence of this power, but it did not cause her pain.
"Mingke, your sea of consciousness is so vast and magnificent!"
This is extremely high praise.
The "Nonsense Mind Method" definitely has something extraordinary about it.
"Isn't everyone else's sea of consciousness like this?" Li Mingke asked.
Li Jianshi shook his head.
"Ah..." She thought everyone's sea of consciousness was the same!
"What does other people's sea of consciousness look like?"
"Ordinary people's sea of consciousness is not developed. Cultivating immortality or demonic cultivation will change the sea of consciousness, but for most people it is an endless desert and darkness. Only a small number of talented people can make more changes to their sea of consciousness."
"Mingke, you are one of the very few."
He pondered, realizing that his granddaughter was a genius at cultivating her mind.
"Mingke, how did you obtain the Broken Jade?" Li Jianshi asked seriously.
Although the broken jade pieces floated quietly, he could still feel the profoundness and weight emanating from them from within.
Li Mingke then recounted how he obtained the broken jade.
"You mean, it chose a master on its own?"
"Yes, it was very old at the time, so Master asked someone to reforge it. But because it couldn't be unsheathed, no one could pull it out, not even me. So only the exterior was decorated."
Li Jianshi frowned after hearing this.
He had never heard of a sword that couldn't be drawn before. Did the Broken Jade have some extraordinary properties? Why would it recognize Li Mingke as its master?
Seeing Li Mingke's bewildered expression, he knew that Li Mingke, as the host, was also unaware of the inside story.
"Mingke, could I take a look at the 'Nonsense Mind Method'?"
He tried to find the answer in "The Unfounded Mind Method".
“Okay!” Li Mingke took out the book from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Li Jianshi.
The more Li Jianshi looked through the pages, the more his brows furrowed.
Li Mingke stood to the side, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Is there something wrong with "The Unfounded Mind Method"?
Turn to a certain page, and then everything after that is blank.
"Mingke, what's going on here?" He pointed to the blank page.
"I don't know either. I only know that only when I digest all the previous knowledge will the later content appear, which I also find amazing."
She asked Immortal Venerable Jinyun, but he couldn't give her a clear answer either. So she could only stop thinking about other things, try her best to master the previous knowledge, and then learn the later content.
"That's fine too..."
Li Jianshi closed the book and returned it to Li Mingke.
"The 'Nonsense Mind Technique' is practically tailor-made for you. If you master it, you'll probably ascend to immortality in no time."
This "Nonsense Mind Method" is actually this powerful!
Ascend!
The dream of countless cultivators!
"Wow, then I must cultivate diligently and strive to ascend as soon as possible!" Li Mingke's eyes lit up.
Looking at his granddaughter's excited face, Li Jianshi smiled.
Ascension...
He was the same way back then, full of enthusiasm, believing that he would one day soar to great heights.
But at the last moment before his ascension, he turned back...
Throughout the millennia, countless cultivators have emerged, and many have ascended to immortality, but many return to the mortal realm just before their ascension...
For example, Jinyun, for example, Luanhua...
For example, him...
"Does Mingke want to ascend to immortality?"
"certainly!"
"Then Grandpa will teach you the Li family's secret techniques! Combined with the 'Nonsense Heart Method,' and with the broken jade, it won't be long before everyone looks at you with new respect!"
"real?"
"Would Grandpa lie to you?"
"Okay, I'll work hard and strive to ascend as soon as possible!"
