Chapter 340 148: The Perceptive Guan Yun

Xu Lei ran a good distance away, climbing up another mountain.

From a hidden spot on the mountain, he took out his Telescope to observe the location of his earlier explosion.

Xu Lei waited quietly.

He had thought Little Bai Ling would show up as she did last time, seated between two Human Puppets.

This time, however, Little Bai Ling didn't appear.

There was no sign of her at all.

After all, Little Bai Ling couldn't be so conveniently nearby every single time.

But to Xu Lei's surprise, a little over ten minutes later, he actually did see Bodhisattva Guan Yun!

She flew in from among the white clouds in the sky.

Through the Telescope, Xu Lei could make out her general figure, faintly weaving between the sky and the white clouds.

Then, she arrived above the explosion site and descended as a streak of light.

As she landed, it seemed she used Magical Power to conceal her form.

Because of this, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to see her at all.

Even Xu Lei's Telescope could only pick up some blurry traces.

After putting the Telescope away, Xu Lei activated a Dharma Gate, focusing it on his eyes.

A faint, candle-like flicker immediately ignited within his pupils.

It continuously gathered distant light, drawing it into his eyes.

Only then could Xu Lei clearly see the form and appearance of Bodhisattva Guan Yun, who had landed at the site of the explosion.

She was dressed in white, with a graceful figure and an exceptional, otherworldly air.

A vermilion mark adorned her brow, Jade Pendants hung from her ears, her face was like jade, and her features were exquisite.

Her black hair, lustrous and glossy, created a stark contrast with her fair, delicate skin.

And her chest was surprisingly large!

She wasn't sitting on a white lotus this time; she was standing, and since her white robes were cinched at the waist, the contour of her chest was very distinct.

Amidst her pure and transcendent aura, there was also the charm of a mature young woman.

She frowned slightly, surveying her surroundings with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Just as Xu Lei was about to continue his observation, he was stunned to see Bodhisattva Guan Yun suddenly whip her head around. The gaze that shot from her beautiful, clear-cut eyes was piercing as she looked directly in his direction!

A shiver of fear shot through Xu Lei.

The candlelight in his pupils instantly dissipated.

In that instant, Xu Lei guessed that she must have sensed something was wrong because he had just used a Dharma Gate to spy on her!

Her Realm was probably so high that she had an incredibly keen 'sense' for being secretly watched by other Cultivators!

And then, Bodhisattva Guan Yun's speed became terrifyingly fast as she flew directly toward Xu Lei's position.

Terrified, Xu Lei immediately broke into a frantic sprint, speeding through the mountain forest.

Fortunately, Xu Lei's position was still quite far from the explosion site.

So Bodhisattva Guan Yun couldn't reach him instantly, giving Xu Lei enough time to run to another mountaintop.

He hid himself, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

「A few more minutes later.」

Xu Lei realized Bodhisattva Guan Yun hadn't managed to track him.

He finally let out a sigh of relief.

He understood that although she was mysterious and powerful, she wasn't an omniscient, omnipotent being. By running fast and hiding well, he had still managed to evade her.

At that moment, Xu Lei peeked out again.

He took out his Telescope and looked toward his previous hiding spot.

Sure enough, he saw Bodhisattva Guan Yun now circling that area.

She flew back and forth, searching for the presence that had been spying on her.

Xu Lei didn't dare use his Magical Power to observe Bodhisattva Guan Yun this time.

He only dared to watch through the Telescope.

He discovered that Guan Yun didn't have the same acute sensitivity to being watched with the Telescope.

It was unlike before, when she had reacted instantly to his magical prying.

But using the Telescope, he couldn't see Bodhisattva Guan Yun's appearance, only the faint trace of her human-like form.

Xu Lei recalled the first time he had spied on Bodhisattva Guan Yun.

He had used the Telescope then, too, and had been able to see her true face.

Back then, Bodhisattva Guan Yun had probably deactivated the Dharma Gate that distorted sight and concealed her appearance.

Xu Lei was a little nervous now, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

So he remained in hiding and continued to spy on Guan Yun with his Telescope.

He saw Bodhisattva Guan Yun fail to find the person who spied on her, and after a short search, she left the immediate area.

Since he didn't dare use a Dharma Gate and was only using his Telescope, Xu Lei couldn't make out her expression.

He didn't know what her expression was, what mood she was in, or what her eyes looked like.

He only saw her figure fly back to the explosion site.

The explosion had also drawn the attention of the mortals.

Constables from the city's Government Office had already swarmed out to investigate.

The constables were also questioning various passersby.

Meanwhile, Bodhisattva Guan Yun descended and blended into the crowd.

She stood right next to the constables.

She listened to their various investigations, analyses, and deductions.

Not a single one of the constables could see Guan Yun, nor could any of the passersby.

Sometimes, she would walk around the scene on her own, occasionally squatting down to pick up some debris from the explosion and examine the blast marks on the ground.

Then, she would return to the lead constable's side, probably to get an update on the investigation.

Watching the blurry figure mingling with the crowd through his Telescope, Xu Lei couldn't help but think to himself, 'This Bodhisattva Guan Yun, how can she just fly all over the place like that?

She always appears directly from the sky and descends!

Doesn't flying around waste Magical Power?

We're all Cultivators in this waning Cultivation Era, so why is it that all the other Cultivators have it so tough, treasuring every last bit of their Magical Power like it's gold, while she gets to be so damn awesome?

Flying around so flashily!

And she can keep her appearance concealed continuously?

The way she's operating now, she's practically invisible to mortals!

Doesn't maintaining an ability like that waste Magical Power?

Is the sea of Magical Power in her Lower Dantian already as vast as an ocean?

Has she really reached the so-called Realm of limitless Magical Power?

Or is she actually relying on a Magical Artifact like the Throat Suppressing Pendant?

It's just that the Throat Suppressing Pendant only affects the area above the neck. Does hers have a range that can cover her entire body?

Just what Realm has she reached?'
