Song Yan said, “Mr. Jingyun does not use his eyes to see, but if you use Divine Sense, isn’t that self-deception?”
Li Jingyun replied, “I don’t use Divine Sense either.”
“Oh?”
Song Yan was truly intrigued and curiously asked, “Please enlighten me.”
Li Jingyun was taken aback by his politeness, so he stood up and respectfully bowed, then continued, “I have Twelve Sounds, which are the Twelve Swords. These Twelve Swords are both my weapons and my ears and eyes. They allow me to observe the world in a way that transcends Divine Sense and sight.”
Song Yan: …
“I am quite interested in this method, would Mr. Jingyun be willing to teach me?”
This was not politeness; he genuinely wanted to learn.
Now he stood again at the edge of the cliff of “Wa Text Curse,” unsure when the “Wa Text” would appear on his body again. At that time, he would have to wrap his eyes and Divine Sense with black cloth once more.
And at that time, Li Jingyun’s method would allow him not to completely lose his power.
Moreover, thinking further, when he had no way out, he could actively trigger the “Wa Text Curse” and use it as a deadly weapon that indiscriminately harms surrounding enemies.
Li Jingyun did not know what the Family Head was thinking at this moment. When he heard this, he was dazed again.
In his heart, Li Xuanchan was extremely arrogant. First, it was unlikely for him to speak like this; second, it was unlikely for him to learn this strange Magic. After all, the Li Family and all other forces actually uphold an “Upper Realm superiority theory,” meaning that those raised in the Upper Realm from a young age have a more flawless disposition, while those climbing up from the Lower Realm, even if they seem to have some ability and disposition, actually harbor immense hidden dangers.
Who knows when these hidden dangers will bring huge problems, either destroying the family, harming others, or causing one to stagnate. If not, why are the truly powerful individuals from the Lower Realm extremely rare in the Star Domain? And if not, why do many Great Demons appearing in the Cultivation Profound Land have a “Lower Realm struggle history”?
Li Jingyun, of course, could say because there were not enough resources.
But if the resources were sufficient, would it still be considered the Lower Realm?
In the end, there was no way to truly discuss anything.
Li Xuanchan, having grown up in the Li Family with a silver spoon, naturally didn’t see eye to eye with a Lower Realm nobody like Li Jingyun. Just right, Li Jingyun couldn’t stand the sight of Li Xuanchan, who appeared elegant and polite but was actually hypocritical, arrogant, and contemptible.
Therefore, though they belonged to the same family, they rarely met, let alone shared what they learned.
Li Jingyun had his own judgment; he could feel the sincerity of the person before him, so he said, “If the Family Head wants to learn, how dare I withhold? It’s just that the Family Head’s Ice Prison and my Talisman Character have no similarity… Alas, if the Family Head wants to learn, come anytime, and I’ll teach you all I know.”
“Thank you.”
“The Cultivation Technique practiced by my Talisman Character is called the ’Great Sound Technique,’ and the Realm Technique understood is named ’Twelve Tribulation Sounds.’”
“Hmm…”
Song Yan and Li Jingyun exchanged for a full seven days, only moving on to the next place, “Sword Hanging Cliff,” after confirming he truly couldn’t learn it. Although he didn’t learn it, he wasn’t left with nothing; at least he understood that each person’s Talisman Character, aside from Cultivation Techniques, also importantly included Realm Techniques.
Cultivation Techniques are self-comprehended and differ from person to person, but Realm Techniques require borrowing external objects like Visualization Maps that contain Six Paths philosophical scenes for comprehension, which also differs by individual, but rarely are comprehended in the Profound Yellow First Realm.
Li Xuanchan was just entering the Second Realm, then had his Realm fall and hadn’t attempted yet…
Afterward, Song Yan successively visited “Mist Cloud Ridge,” “Zhenyue Peak,” and “Hidden Qilin Abyss,” showing himself fully to the Li Family members, so that they could see what their new Family Head looked like.
Along the way, Han Weizi also tried hard to present herself, showing the demeanor of an elegant First Madam, but grew increasingly sensitive when staying overnight in a temporary Cave Mansion with Song Yan, sometimes convulsing just at a touch. This made her feel a mix of extreme excitement and slight fear: her lord might not be her lord?
Thus, she desperately tried to find every piece of evidence in daily life to prove her lord was indeed her lord…
Song Yan naturally didn’t know what the young lady was thinking. After visiting six places, he swaggered around his own family. This “new look of the Family Head” was largely accepted by the Li Family.
But this was not the end, as his last visit was to the most important one…
This one being the Ice Abyss Phoenix now in the Li Family heavens.
…
…
The Ice Abyss Phoenix is called Little Ice by the old master, having been catalyzed and nurtured for only seventeen years.
For a Divine Beast of the Innate Profound Yellow Three Realms, seventeen years is almost no different from infancy; it needs to experience a long time and many things for its disposition to mature.
Since emerging, Little Ice was filled with curiosity about the outside, but was always kept hidden by the old master. The only time the old master took it outside was to fight with the Eternal Night Emperor.
That time, Little Ice went out happy and excited, then never wanted to go out again.
Because it felt the outside world was as scary as the old master said.
The second time going out was when the old master asked it to bring someone back, and it could make a move if that person was besieged.
The old master said this person was its family, and if the old master was no longer around, this family member would accompany it through many years ahead.
Little Ice was both sad and happy.
Because it could feel the old master was nearing the end, so it was sad; but with a family member always accompanying, protecting it, and keeping it from harm, it was happy.
