"I always felt as though something had taken hold of your mind, young friend."
The dean looked at Li Ye suspiciously.
Her gaze lingered on his forehead for several breaths in particular.
Of course, she still could not peer through the mark personally left behind by the Moon Goddess Wangshu. Yet the fact that she could vaguely sense something amiss already showed just how profound her cultivation was.
"I'm fine."
Li Ye came back to himself.
He smiled with slight apology. "So many matters have only just concluded. My mind was still somewhat dazed for the moment, and I have made a fool of myself before you, Senior."
Mm.
That was naturally a lie.
He had actually been immersed in the divine ability Wangshu.
This divine ability... had far exceeded his expectations.
Though it was not one of the pieces within Nine Songs, it was extremely similar to it, as if some great cultivator had forcibly continued the work with another piece.
Perhaps because it was not meant for inheritance, even the Su Xing Lineage that controlled Nine Songs did not possess this method. As such, the divine abilities within it could be called exceedingly bold.
Simply put, there were four types—New Moon, Full Moon, Half Moon, and Dark Moon.
The New Moon and Full Moon could be learned during the Golden Core stage. The latter two, meanwhile, could only barely be learned at the Nascent Soul stage, Nascent Soul Late Stage, or even Spirit Transformation stage respectively.
"New Moon" referred to the moment when the moon first rose.
The purpose of this method was to allow oneself, or to help others, store their vitality—or rather, their time and lifespan—and send it into moonlight to be nourished. It would then become a tiny moon, gradually rising alongside the moon itself.
