Chapter 295 - 282: Since We Hit It Off, Why Not Give It a Try?
Chapter 295: Chapter 282: Since We Hit It Off, Why Not Give It a Try?
He also told him that when he met the fated person in the future,
he was to pass this Visualization Image on to them.
He also gave the [Visualization Heart Returning Technique] to the Elder Celestial Master.
He instructed the Elder Celestial Master to give this book to that same fated person.
From that day forward, one of them guarded the [Blood Prison Map], while the other guarded the [Visualization Heart Returning Technique].
And the only person who could visualize this [Blood Prison Map] was the next Martial God.
"I still remember Master Mideng saying that this Visualization Image is different for everyone who views it. What they see varies—some see a fiery purgatory, some see their Heart Demon, and others see the greatest unresolved issue of their lives!"
"Only those who can truly visualize this Blood Prison Map can gain anything from it!"
Yi Nanshan recalled Master Mideng’s words.
The Elder Celestial Master nodded as well. "This ’Blood Prison Map’ is not something that just anyone can fathom."
"Only the fated person can visualize it!"
"It seems Lin Yi is that fated person, then?"
As he finished speaking, the Elder Celestial Master stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile.
Lin Yi glanced at them. "Wait a minute. Grandpa, Master, were you two deliberately setting me up?"
"Hm? What do you mean by that?"
The Elder Celestial Master was taken aback, and Yi Nanshan frowned.
"According to what you two just said, not just anyone can perceive the secrets of the ’Blood Prison Map’. That means before you gave it to me, neither of you were actually sure it would work, right?"
"Doesn’t that just mean you were using me as a guinea pig for your experiment? Did you ever stop to think that if I couldn’t perceive the mysteries within the ’Blood Prison Map’, I would have ended up just like those who came before me—either driven insane or dropping dead on the spot?"
"Am I really your biological grandson? Am I really your disciple?"
"Who sets someone up like that? It’s a good thing there were no accidents, or it would’ve been too late for regrets..."
After Lin Yi finished speaking,
both the Elder Celestial Master and Yi Nanshan felt a chill of delayed fear.
At the time, all they could think was that Lin Yi was the next Martial God.
The [Blood Prison Map] was the very item used to test a Martial God.
No one besides the Martial God could perceive its mysteries.
In other words, they had already decided that Lin Yi was the Martial God.
But their conviction was meaningless.
If the [Blood Prison Map] didn’t accept him, the consequences would have been the same as for all the others.
Either driven insane or dying a sudden, violent death.
Hearing Lin Yi lay it out like that, they felt a chill run down their spines.
’We were too careless.’
’We didn’t think it through at the time. Otherwise, how could we have taken such a massive risk?’
The Elder Celestial Master and Yi Nanshan exchanged a look.
Both could see the guilt and delayed fear in the other’s eyes.
Fortunately, none of that had come to pass.
The [Blood Prison Map] had acknowledged Lin Yi as the Martial God.
It was a true blessing in a potentially disastrous situation.
Seeing that neither of them was speaking, their eyes filled with deep self-reproach,
Lin Yi quickly broke the silence with a smile. "Grandpa, Master, I think I’ll head back to school tomorrow!"
"Hm? You’re leaving tomorrow?" The Elder Celestial Master, startled, quickly looked at Lin Yi.
"Yeah, I can’t just stay here forever, can I?"
"If I’ve counted the days correctly, the mission cooldown period should be over. I’ll go back, do a mission, and earn some credits first!"
"After I finish the mission, I’ll come back to continue my visualization!"
Hearing this, Yi Nanshan said nothing.
He was, however, very supportive of Lin Yi returning to school the next day.
Although Lin Yi had now taken the Elder Celestial Master as his master, he still had his own life to lead.
Simply staying here to visualize constantly wasn’t the right way to go about things.
A balance between training and rest was essential.
The Elder Celestial Master glanced back at Yi Nanshan and saw he had nothing to say.
He sighed softly and said, "Very well. Since you’ve made up your mind, I will have someone take you back to school tomorrow. Do you remember the jade tablet I gave you?"
"The jade tablet? Is this it?"
Lin Yi took the initial gift the Elder Celestial Master had given him from his pocket.
He had wanted to ask what this jade tablet was back then,
but his attention had been completely captivated by the [Blood Prison Map].
So he forgot all about the tablet.
The Elder Celestial Master nodded with a gentle smile. "This is a token between us, master and disciple. It’s a Magical Artifact forged by our very own Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
"If you’re out in the world and run into any danger, especially a life-threatening situation, you can channel your spiritual sense into the jade tablet, and it will transmit that sense to me!"
"I will immediately rush over to help you out of trouble!"
"Oh, right. The tablet also has a locating function, so you don’t have to worry about me not being able to find you."
Lin Yi picked up the jade tablet and examined it carefully.
’This plain, unremarkable-looking jade tablet can not only transmit messages, but also act as a locator?’
He nodded. "Thank you, Master!"
"Mm."
The Elder Celestial Master smiled, pleased.
Then, he and Yi Nanshan sat with Lin Yi for a little while longer.
Only then did they leave the Visualization Room.
Lin Yi had just eaten a large amount of Demon Beast Meat.
He now needed to process it and convert it into Qi and Blood.
He shouldn’t be disturbed during this process.
Once Yi Nanshan and the Elder Celestial Master had walked out of the Visualization Room,
"So, what do you think? How’s my grandson’s talent?"
Yi Nanshan asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the Elder Celestial Master shot him a glance. "How could my disciple’s talent possibly be lacking?"
"Your disciple is my grandson. The blood of the Yi Family flows in his veins!"
"Hahaha... ’A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime.’ Have you forgotten this saying?"
"No matter how close, the bond is between master and disciple. Can it really be stronger than that between a grandfather and his grandson?"
"Alright, what’s the point of arguing with me about this?"
"That boy, Lin Yi, has an excellent temperament, and his talent is beyond anything either of us could have imagined!"
