Chapter 507: Chapter 353 Hidden Kill
After the banquet ended.
Chen Xuan asked Qin Ke to stay behind alone.
"What is it, Master?"
Qin Ke was a bit nervous, his eyes full of confusion.
The two had been in Chen Xuan’s cultivation room for a while, but he just sat there without saying a word.
"Is there any problem with your cultivation?"
Chen Xuan finally spoke.
He had just carefully sensed it, and there was nothing unusual; the Nine Elements Dao Skill was being cultivated without any issue.
But that in itself was the biggest problem.
His talent was clear at a glance; martial talent is something set from birth, and it can’t suddenly change.
Of course, this is not absolute.
Some treasures of heaven and earth can change it.
But even such high-level treasures he had never seen, let alone Qin Ke.
So what exactly was the reason for his change?
Qin Ke relaxed, thinking it was nothing, and smiled as he spoke, "No, it feels great. I’ve been comprehending Master’s cultivation insights smoothly during this period."
"Sometimes, when encountering something obscure and hard to understand, I suddenly understand it."
"Suddenly?"
Chen Xuan instantly caught the key point.
"Yes! I don’t exactly know how either, it just becomes clear all of a sudden."
Even though he thought about it afterward, he didn’t feel anything wrong.
Thinking it was a good thing, he didn’t dwell on it.
"Is there a problem with the consciousness sea?"
Chen Xuan speculated, then released a stream of Spiritual Power, "Don’t resist, let me check your consciousness sea!"
Though he didn’t know what his master was doing, out of unconditional trust, Qin Ke stood there, fully relaxed, allowing the Spiritual Power to enter his consciousness sea.
"What is this thing?"
As soon as the Spiritual Power entered, he saw the edge of Qin Ke’s consciousness sea emitting a faint golden hue.
"Something’s wrong!"
A normal consciousness sea shouldn’t look like this.
Chen Xuan immediately guided the Spiritual Power to the edge of the consciousness sea.
He discovered something emitting a golden hue resembling a golden thread.
Attached to Qin Ke’s consciousness sea.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Chen Xuan frowned deeply.
In the next moment, his figure appeared in the consciousness sea.
Just relying on Spiritual Power to see things clearly.
"Telepathy!"
Blue light burst forth in his eyes.
"Great Yu..."
"Loyal to Great Yu..."
...
Suddenly, a mesmerizing voice sounded in Chen Xuan’s ears, striking directly at the soul.
In the room.
Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"Master, what’s wrong?"
Seeing his face changed, Qin Ke hurriedly asked.
"Nothing’s wrong, you can go back now!"
This made his doubts even heavier.
It was evident that the master had discovered something but was unwilling to tell him.
"Alright, nothing major!"
Seeing he didn’t move, Chen Xuan then spoke to comfort him.
"Yes, I’ll head back to the Three Judicial Departments then."
Chen Xuan nodded but said nothing.
After he left, he let out a long sigh.
If he guessed correctly, that golden thread might be something akin to faith.
Constantly influencing Qin Ke, making him loyal to Great Yu.
However, he himself wasn’t aware of it at all.
"And... it should be more than just this simple."
Chen Xuan looked outside with a serious expression.
Suddenly, two words popped into his mind, "cult."
And these officials of Great Yu were its loyal followers.
These followers accounted for over ninety-nine percent of the fighting power on the Eastern Continent.
This also explained why Great Yu hadn’t had a single rebellion for tens of thousands of years.
"Impressive!"
Even Chen Xuan couldn’t help but praise this technique.
However, he was more grateful that he didn’t refine that royal seal back then, otherwise... he would have become one of countless followers.
For someone like Qin Ke, this might bring more advantages than disadvantages, but for him... it would definitely be the opposite.
...
At night!
Only at this time did He Mei breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"They shouldn’t have found anything, right?"
She asked herself in her mind.
During this period, she dared not make any moves.
"It should be a coincidence."
She then exhaled deeply, her whole body relaxing as she slowly closed her eyes.
Dots of starlight appeared in her consciousness sea.
"Gu Huan..."
...
Without those bothersome issues, time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three months had gone by.
In the room, Chen Xuan finished today’s cultivation.
He habitually opened the system.
...
[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Dao Realm (Second Level), Spirit Cultivator: Profound Grade (Early Stage)]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Fourteenth Layer (0.21 billion/9 billion)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Fifteenth Layer (0.91 billion/1.3 billion))]
[Skill Points: 603 million]
...
"Almost there!"
Chen Xuan murmured softly, in at most six months’ time, he would be able to upgrade the Nine Elements Dao Skill, and by then, he could achieve Realm Breakthrough Dao Realm Third Level.
Not even a year, and he had already broken through one realm, this speed was quite fast.
But after the third level... it would likely slow down significantly.
Unless Ning Xin could reach Late-Stage Profound Realm, or higher.
"No rush!"
Chen Xuan muttered, after all, there was still plenty of time before the time to venture to the Land of Burial.
There’s time.
"Go check on Meng’Er!"
After more than six months, the belly had already gotten quite big, but more importantly, for some reason, there hadn’t been much reaction in the past few months, but recently there had been.
Constantly vomiting.
Truly eating anything and vomiting it out, far more exaggerated than Su Yun back then.
Leaving the room, he walked through the long corridor, despite the beautiful scenery here, Chen Xuan had no mind to admire it.
Soon he arrived at Ning Garden.
The few women were all here at this time.
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
As soon as he approached the room, he heard Lan Meng’Er’s vomiting sounds.
