Vol.1 – Chapter 055 – Bond


Old Taoist laughed heartily, "As a master, nothing makes me happier than having a diligent disciple and something to pass on!"

 

"The Enlightenment Chapter normally requires the awakening of the Sense Realm and the condensation of Divine Sense before it can be learned. However, you have consumed three Enlightenment Pills from Lu Ming. Although your Sense Realm has not awakened, your Divine Sense has already manifested, which is enough."

 

Speaking of this, anger surged in his heart. Were the Enlightenment Pills just casually fed?

 

The Enlightenment Pill is consumed when one is about to condense the Sense Pearl during the completion of the Sacrificial Bone. It is taken when the intensity and fluctuations of the Divine Sense are insufficient, forcibly condensing it.

 

Cultivation should be like walking on thin ice, taking one step at a time without making any mistakes.

 

At that time, Su He could only be considered at the "Divine Object" realm. He directly consumed three Enlightenment Pills, crossing three small realms in one go. Fortunately, Dragon Turtle had a strong constitution; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

 

He deserves to die!

 

His body should be dragged out and crushed to ashes!

 

Old Taoist snorted and pointed at his own brow with his hand. A ripple like water waves spread out, "This is Divine Sense. It is not visible or detectable in its normal state."

 

Divine Sense can be understood to a large extent as spirit, thoughts, and mental consciousness. It is a tangible but invisible energy. The ripple displayed by the Old Taoist is a special method, just like dyeing in water.

 

"Since you haven't awakened the Sense Realm, you can't control Divine Sense. Therefore, your Divine Sense still needs to rely on existing functions to be used. For example, by merging with your gaze, you can investigate formations and Yin objects that cannot be detected. By merging with sound, you can transmit thoughts and break illusions…"

 

"Without being able to actively explore with Divine Sense, you won't be able to use many abilities in the Enlightenment Chapter, such as telepathic communication. I will teach you how to incorporate thoughts into sound or gaze. In the future, your shouts and eye expressions will be means of communication."

 

He tapped Su He's brow, transmitting a technique.

 

Actually, this can't be considered a cultivation technique; it should be a small trick for using Divine Sense. Su He closed his eyes and contemplated for a moment, occasionally humming.

 

With thoughts in mind, the senses revolved and entered the oral orifice.

 

"Ang~" Su He let out a long chant.

 

Old Taoist chuckled, "Don't shout at me. The Beast Language and the Enlightenment Chapter are too similar. If you shout, I won't be able to tell if it's the Beast Language or the Enlightenment Chapter. Use eye contact!"

 

Old Taoist wasn't worried at all. This little thing couldn't stump his disciple. He had the bloodline of the Dragon Turtle, and his Divine Sense was powerful. Even an ordinary exotic beast like a camel could learn it in two months, let alone a Dragon Turtle.

 

Su He closed his eyes and focused. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and two dragon-like gazes fell on Old Taoist.

 

Old Taoist's joyful expression suddenly changed, and he jumped up, shouting, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if you are my own disciple, I can give you cultivation techniques, pass on the inheritance, and even sell my life to you, but don't even think about roasted chicken!"

 

The first thing to learn in the Enlightenment Chapter is to ask Old Taoist for roasted chicken? This disciple and I are incompatible. It's better to expel him from the sect as soon as possible!

 

True eye contact!

 

No wonder Da Zhuang's eyes could speak. With just one glance, you would know what it wanted to express. That guy must also know this trick.

 

Old Taoist took out a lamp from somewhere and placed it on Su He's dragon head. With a flick of his finger, a flame ignited on the lamp.

 

Even though it was pouring rain, the flame, as small as a bean, couldn't be extinguished.

 

"This is the Life Lamp. It can only be lit by your Divine Sense after condensing the Sense Pearl. Your Little Turtle is quite special. If your Divine Sense is exhausted one day, this lamp will go out, and the sect will know that you have encountered difficulties."

 

He sent the Life Lamp towards the sky, and it flew towards the Hall of Fate.

 

"Once the Life Lamp is lit, it means you have received the true transmission of the Qingyuan Sect. Are you… ready?"

 

True transmission comes with both treatment and tasks. The instructors who teach in Leaving South Court and the disciples who follow Old Taoist to hunt in the Three Rivers Wilderness are all examples.

 

The collapsed Eternal Life Hall has been restored. Feng Yiju stood on the Watching Heaven Platform, looking towards Listening Sea Lake. From here, Listening Sea Lake appeared illusory and indistinct.

 

When designing the formation, Su Huanian added an anti-spying function. In fact, most of the Daoist temples of the Qingyuan Sect's elders have this function. If the Eternal Life Hall hadn't been smashed by Old Taoist, no one would have seen the scene of Feng Yiju being beaten.

 

In front of the Eternal Life Hall, a scholar knelt.

 

An old man dressed as a gray-haired and withered scholar stood upright with his hands behind his back, standing beside Feng Yiju. This was Qiao Changlun, the elder Qiao, the scholar's master. He had been a disciple for even longer than Old Taoist, over a hundred years.

 

Feng Yiju being beaten was clearly seen by the elders. The Sect Leader had not done well in recent years, and this scholar was partly to blame.

 

Elder Qiao came to punish the scholar.

 

The Sect Leader's strategist shouldn't act like this!

 

A Life Lamp flew out of Listening Sea Lake towards the Hall of Fate.

 

"With the Life Lamp lit, the Dragon Turtle has also embarked on the right path." Elder Qiao said.

 

Feng Yiju shook his head, "Too early!" He had promised to light the Life Lamp for Su He a long time ago, but he had never implemented it. "Once the Life Lamp is lit, it means the true transmission. With the true transmission comes tasks. At this moment, sending the Dragon Turtle out on a mission would leave it defenseless."

 

Elder Qiao fell silent for a moment. "In the opinion of the Sect Leader's nephew, what should we do?"

 

Feng Yiju smiled faintly, "Senior Uncle is joking. After cultivating for thousands of years, don't you understand these things? This turtle's bloodline is extremely pure. There is a thirty percent chance that it will truly transform into a Dragon Turtle. At least until the second realm, it should be kept within the sect. If there is a need, the Qingyuan Sect will take full responsibility."

 

Isn't that the role of a sect? To provide a nest for fledglings to grow, giving them time and nourishment so that one day they can soar high!

 

Since he had chosen to support it, Feng Yiju would spare no effort!

 

Let the Dragon Turtle truly see the sincerity of the Qingyuan Sect, let it truly see where its interests lie, and its heart will stay here. Just like the Azure Dragon of the Xuan Tian Sect.

 

It should be noted that the Azure Dragon was once a formidable enemy of the Xuan Tian Sect ten thousand years ago. It had even fought fiercely with a certain ancestor of the Xuan Tian Sect. Now, if anyone were to harm the Xuan Tian Sect, the Azure Dragon would be the first to object.

 

Because everything the Azure Dragon has comes from the Xuan Tian Sect.Elder Qiao gazed at the Listening Sea Lake, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he let out a sigh, "Has the Sect Leader ever considered that what the Qingyuan Sect can offer, other sects can also provide? Perhaps even more?"

 

The Qingyuan Sect is merely the cream of the crop within Dongyun Mountain, but there are nearly a hundred sects within the mountain, three of which are only slightly inferior to Qingyuan. Not to mention Yunmeng Marsh adjacent to Dongyun Mountain, a gathering place for demons, its strength and heritage are not inferior to the top ten immortal sects.

 

To the south, there is Qingcheng Mountain, where there are eight sects that are not inferior to the Qingyuan Sect.

 

Elder Qiao spoke with deep concern, "If we want the Dragon Turtle to truly integrate into the sect, we cannot hold him in high esteem and keep him away from the crowd—at least not in this generation. It would be better for him to receive such respect after the next generation of disciples, or even the generation after that, have grown up."

 

He looked at Feng Yiju, "In the sect, there should be disputes, entanglements, laughter, worries, people he dislikes, and people he loves. Only then will he feel a sense of belonging to the sect!"

 

Fear of those who despise him gaining power, longing for those who love him to advance, only after experiencing much in Qingyuan, with tears and laughter, will Qingyuan come alive in his heart.

 

Interests are eternal, but those who grant benefits can change. What can truly hold a Divine Beast is not interest, but the emotional bond between the Divine Beast and the sect itself.

 

People may die, but the sect will not!
