Intent Stirred II
"5. The Ultimate Unity of All Spirits: All things have their own quantity and destiny. Any scene, as long as it exists, must have its origin and trajectory. This technique was created by the Myriad Spirits Celestial Venerable. It can determine destiny and determine spiritual position, allowing a part of one's own cause and effect to be cut off and naturally integrated into other destiny trajectories, becoming a link in them. At this point, any living being will regard the part you cut off as one of them."
Note: Everything has its own predetermined course and trajectory; every increase and decrease has its own reason. Replacing its destiny and spiritual position will completely overturn all its cause and effect, trajectory, and future. Even if an extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon were to take over the identity, it would be discovered and expelled. Even if this technique were discovered, people would only take it for granted, which may lead to unpredictable and unknown reactions. Please use it with caution.
"This cultivation technique..." Lin Hui frowned slightly, as if it had completely taken over his identity and parasitized and merged with him.
But even more powerful than parasitic fusion is that this technique can naturally sever itself and relinquish it to another ecological niche, allowing all the creatures within to take it for granted.
"We don't know what levels the beings here belong to, or whether the spacetime distortion realm will be affected."
Lin Hui pondered to himself that what he needed now was to ensure that even when tracing back to the origins of time and space, no one could find that he was the source of Wind Energy and the Heaven Seed.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately chose the last one.
"The Myriad Spirits Return-to-One Art: All things..."
Required resources: Four million years' worth of reserve energy.
Sure enough, Lin Hui sighed. The Existence Force consumption at this level must be extremely high to be able to conceal it.
He immediately felt much more relaxed and decided to begin the evolution process.
As the countdown to the Blood Seal began to appear, he quickly took out the Black Token, from which he took out the Star Butterfly Fish Eye and began absorbing their Existence Force one by one. After absorbing nearly two hundred of them, a faint light flashed in the Blood Seal's vision, revealing feedback that the evolution was complete.
Lin Hui sat cross-legged in the courtyard, when suddenly his whole body shone with a faint white light.
A vast amount of experience and details about this technique flooded into his mind.
He didn't linger and immediately began his cultivation.
Once a technique has evolved, it still requires personal practice before it can be used, which is completely different from secret Dharma Seal.
Fortunately, because of Dinisha, Hongyu Chun has reduced his workload considerably, and Lin Hui now has a lot of free time.
This technique only had one level, and after three months of focused, secluded practice, Lin Hui successfully completed it.
The moment he finished, he set his sights on the interior of the Guangxin Hall, looking for the one least likely to be suspected. The scapegoat, of course, should be the one least likely to become the scapegoat.
The most powerful aspect of this "Ten Thousand Spirits Return to One Art is that it can target inanimate objects.
So, half a month later...
Lin Hui floated in front of the giant alchemy furnace, standing in the void with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, as the technique was activated, he felt a strange and wondrous change, a cutting sensation occurring as the technique rotated.
Regarding the Heaven Seed, Wind Energy, and all the causes and effects, he naturally separated them, transforming them into two pale blue, semi-transparent clusters of characters. The two clusters were filled with densely packed blue-black characters.
"Go." Lin Hui tossed it out gently, watching the two syllables fly rapidly toward the alchemy furnace.
It vanished and merged into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"From now on, the source of the Heaven Seed and Wind Energy will become the unknown mutation of the alchemy furnace, and will have nothing to do with me." After doing this, Lin Hui sensed that his own improvement was still continuing. This improvement seemed to have appeared out of thin air, without any source or reason.
I looked at the streaks of light that kept flashing by.
He smiled slightly, then turned and left completely.
This time, with the cover of the Ten Thousand Spirits Return to One Art, safety and concealment were greatly enhanced.
Even if someone were to trace the source, they would first have to overcome the extreme secrecy surrounding Wind Energy and Heaven Seed. Secondly, after trying to unravel the mystery, what they would actually see is a meticulously crafted and disguised illusion.
Any method of tracing the source ultimately leads back to the mutation of the alchemy furnace.
After completing the insurance coverage, Lin Hui returned to his original daily life. Years passed.
In the sixth year, Dinisha broke through. She had already reached the threshold of materialization, and now she officially stepped into Colloidal Dissociation, greatly increasing her status among the core disciples.
"Congratulations!" Guangxin Hall, in the public area of the Thunder King Sect.
Lin Hui clasped his hands in a gesture of congratulations to Dinisha.
Besides him, there were a few others: Tao Zheng, Xiling Ghost, and a cold, beautiful woman with green hair, who was standing next to Dinisha, holding a folding fan to cover her chin.
"We're brothers, my breakthrough is thanks to you!" Dinisha hugged Lin Hui without any hesitation and patted him hard on the back.
"This time I successfully broke through, and the sect has given me a new position. Because my special talent needs to be improved in actual combat, in the upcoming battle with Myriad Stars Tower, I will lead a special squad with myself at the core to clear out any remaining enemies from the opposing battlefield. Of course, our enemies are not only those who have escaped, but also the clearing squads sent by Myriad Stars Tower. So... is anyone willing to join me?" After speaking, she looked at the group with a hint of hope.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Xiling Ghost shrank back, and Tao Zheng lowered his head as if he hadn't heard.
The green-haired woman simply closed her eyes and began stroking the folding fan in her hand.
"I'll count," Lin Hui said helplessly. He was inherently restless and always dealing with materials; just collecting wages wasn't enough. "You can't. Your strength is so weak, what if you get injured?" Unexpectedly, Dinisha refused decisively, her beautiful eyes turning to the others. "Nobody's going? There's a monthly allowance of three units of energy."
"In that case, count this old man as one," Tao Zheng coughed twice before speaking.
"I'll go too." Xiling Ghost nodded in agreement.
The green-haired woman shook her head.
"I won't go. I don't lack vital energy for now. However, since you've invited me, you must hope I'll go too. In that case, if you give me a piece of the Origin Dao Gold Stone bestowed upon you by your master, I can accompany you on the trip."
"Is it dangerous?" Lin Hui frowned.
Dinisha had treated him fairly well, and he reluctantly acknowledged her as a friend, but he still asked her a question at this moment.
"It's a bit dangerous. This time, because my breakthrough was too fast, I've been put on the Myriad Stars Tower's kill list... a bounty of five thousand Yuan Qi..." Dinisha said with a hint of pride. "It's making me want to sell myself for Yuan Qi."
This guy is truly gifted; he actually managed to break through energy levels in just a few decades... If this continues, what will happen in the long run? If he were from Myriad Stars Tower's side, he would definitely do the same thing.
"Don't worry about me, there are two others on the kill list, it's not just me," Dinisha quickly reassured them when she saw that they all looked a little unwell.
She tried everywhere to find people to team up with, but no one was willing. She had no choice but to rely on her meager network of contacts. If even these few people didn't come along, she would truly be on her own.
Although the Fusion Faction weren't afraid of death, their lack of awareness was still a sensitive topic. No one wanted to die repeatedly unless absolutely necessary. "Why do you insist on teaming up? With your strength, we're actually a burden," Xiling Ghost couldn't help but ask. "There's a special dimension. Entering requires three extra people to maintain the teleportation channel. Otherwise, it's difficult to get out," Dinisha explained. "I heard there are some good opportunities inside, and I want to go in and explore. But I don't trust the others. What if they temporarily shut down the portal..." So these were the people she trusted?
Lin Hui glanced at Xiling Ghost and Tao Zheng; clearly, both of them had strange expressions on their faces.
"Then it's settled. Those who come with me will be my brothers, Dinisha's brothers! From now on, I'll be with you!"
"Can I not go...?" Tao Zheng suddenly regretted it and quickly tried to speak.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dinisha's gaze sweep over him. An invisible pressure made his body go numb.
"I was just saying it for fun, just for fun..." he quickly corrected himself.
Dinisha nodded in satisfaction.
Finally, he looked at Lin Hui.
"Chengdao, I'm counting on you to keep an eye on things outside."
"Okay." Lin Hui nodded.
This guy's preferential treatment is so obvious; it seems like he's the only true brother, and everyone else is just a tool for him.
After some division of responsibilities, the so-called celebration party turned into a meeting to coordinate actions.
Dinisha only let them leave after she had them sign the contract.
After everyone had left, she finally pulled Lin Hui aside and found a small teahouse in the public area.
The shops within these sects are mostly run by relatives or associates of the sect members. Since they have fewer tasks and therefore less pay, they have devised other ways to increase their income in order to obtain vital energy to maintain their cognition.
And there are quite a few small shops like this in each branch hall.
Dinisha booked a private room and sat down with Lin Hui, each ordering a pot of Xuan Yuan tea.
Inside the dark blue private room, there were no waiters in sight.
A black table with gray cushions on either side.
On the table, a bronze teapot and four teacups of the same color are playing cards together.
These teapots and teacups all had eyes, noses, and mouths, and even legs and feet like people. Upon seeing Dinisha enter, they immediately stood up and bowed. After ordering drinks...
The teapot got up, patted a few teacups, jumped off the table, and left the room.
A minute later, there was a knock on the door.
Dinisha opens the door remotely.
A huge white jade teapot, taller than a person, came in by bending down from outside the door.
The teapot entered, sat down cross-legged like the other two, and began putting things into the spout above his head.
At this moment, Dinisha was still telling Lin Hui about the disgusting experience she had suffered, and she was somewhat emotional.
"Let me tell you, this time when I go into this hidden dimension, the danger might be quite great, in case..." Dinisha stopped mid-sentence, "So, just in case, I'm leaving a copy of my true core ancestral blood with you. You can keep it for me. If I die, I can be resurrected with you."
"Okay!" Lin Hui nodded, surprised that the other party trusted him to this extent.
"Also, I have another nice new item." Dinisha opened her palm, revealing a small, exquisite blue metal incense burner.
"What is this?" Lin Hui vaguely sensed something was off; the odor was coming from the small incense burner.
Dinisha glanced at the large teapot, which blinked its big eyes, then decisively turned and left the room, closing the door behind it.
After everyone left, she puffed out her chest and moved closer to Lin Hui.
"This is a life-orb I secretly stole from a newcomer outside. It contains about 100 million people, all of your kind."
Living person?
Lin Hui felt a chill run down his spine.
"Aren't living people afraid of the radiation from the Disaster Energy if they come in here?"
"Yes, I'm scared. These people can only last for a month at most. After a month, they will die. So you have to refine them all into pills and take them before then," Dinisha whispered.
"... Lin Hui was speechless. Judging from her words, it seemed that the world Dinisha lived in didn't care about human life at all. "What? You don't like it? How about this?"Dinisha reached out and tapped the back of Lin Hui's hand.
Suddenly, a flood of information entered his mind.
That was a special secret technique called the Smoke Blood Art, which could instantly create nine blood avatars, each possessing 90% of its own power—it was incredibly powerful.
It was a top-tier secret technique taught to her by her Dinisha, Teresa.
After delivering the message, seeing that Lin Hui's expression remained unchanged, Dinisha pursed her lips and her mind raced, trying to think of another way to cheer him up.
