Direction II
Meanwhile, Lin Hui, after confirming that she hadn't noticed, withdrew his senses, feeling somewhat guilty.
Ultimately, it's somewhat unethical to pry into someone's privacy without a valid reason.
"Next, it's time to consider further advancement. Now that I've achieved Dao Integration, I have enough offensive and defensive techniques, and it's time to begin further evolution of the Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal using the Fish Eyes I've accumulated."
The Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal has no upper limit in essence; it can be continuously improved.
Lin Hui had originally planned to use the deputy hall masters to forcibly improve himself again. However, he discovered that the deputy hall masters did not absorb Wind Energy at all. No, he had no idea whether the deputy hall masters were using Wind Energy at all.
Therefore, the hope of taking it a step further seems slim in the short term.
He entered the courtroom this time with the intention of improving himself as much as possible and eliminating any potential problems after his release.
Therefore, it is essential to improve one's cultivation level in every aspect as comprehensively as possible.
"I currently lack a comprehensive understanding of the next level of power. If only I had a teacher. Such profound knowledge cannot be easily disclosed to the public." Before, he had Seven Extinctions's help and Fusheng by his side, so he could seek guidance from them at any time. But now, his teacher Seven Extinctions is at the same level as him, Fusheng is not here, and this place is deep within the Wind Disaster. He can't even return to his Mind Sea, let alone the Heart Source Demon Palace.
This is when the importance of this basic information becomes apparent.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Hui sorted through the memories of the Karmic Fire. This memory inheritance was a chaotic mess, filled with nothing but burning! Those who obstruct me shall die! O Moon of Wrath, unite with me and burn all things!!
The realm itself follows a completely different path, namely the path of the Immortal Fire of the Moon of Wrath, which burns everything.
As long as you burn enough and fiercely enough, nothing else matters.
If Lin Hui didn't care about the impact on his mind and soul, and didn't care about morality, he could actually take this path.
But that's not his personality.
In the memories of Karmic Fire, after burning and burning, he inexplicably gained the ability to distort spacetime after finally burning a mysterious white-clad figure to death. Or rather, the ability to burn spacetime.
No spacetime distortion had any effect on him. Since he abandoned everything and started following the path of the Moon of Wrath, he had been burning continuously, Moon of Wrath made him immune to attacks from other spacetime distortions.
call
With a sigh, Lin Hui withdrew his consciousness from the Karmic Fire inheritance, feeling helpless.
"I'll continue evolving... Without a teacher, I can only hope that the new techniques will contain relevant cultivation memories." He has fully mastered the Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal and successfully achieved an energy level leap.
Next.
Lin Hui focused his mind and concentrated on the hand seal.
"Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal: Wandering Convergence Seal."
Evolvable branch: 3.
Are there only three?
Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he clicked to take a closer look.
"1. The Sky-Piercing Sole Fusion Seal: A powerful seal technique evolved and strengthened from the Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal. The other techniques remain unchanged, but the speed at which the energy level of all living beings in the Heaven Seed Fusion Area is greatly enhanced."
"2. The Formless Space-Stabilizing Seal: The ultimate seal technique evolved from the Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal. It can greatly increase the sense of belonging of all living beings in the Heaven Seed Fusion Area. Over time, the living beings in the area will develop a special and strong sense of belonging to this area, such as a homeland or a mother.
"3. The Sky-Piercing Heart King Seal: Greatly increases the advancement speed of beings in the fusion area, and allows the cultivator to actively designate a being to gain cultivation insights a hundred times faster than similar beings in the vicinity. The cost is that the lifespan of this being is shortened to one hundred years."
Note: This method of marking can only be applied to one individual every thousand years.
... The last imprinting method..."Lin Hui fell silent.
Despite his self-proclaimed righteous path, the sheer evil of this hand seal technique far exceeded his expectations.
This is what it means to harm others for personal gain!
Moreover, it has reached the extreme of harming others for personal gain.
For those Fusion Faction, what is a hundred years of life? Many of them might just take a nap and do nothing, and a hundred years will have passed.
But here.
Lin Hui shook his head slightly.
"This is too evil! If such a seal technique cannot be mastered by a righteous person like me, it is simply against heaven and reason, and violates the morality of all things!" He wasn't being sarcastic; he genuinely believed it.
Throughout the entire process, he never actually did anything that violated his own inner principles.
I decisively chose the last option and glanced at the required resources: nine million years.
Just as he predicted, the surge began.
Fortunately, through years of continuous accumulation, he has become quite wealthy.
Soon after completely absorbing all the Existence Force, he still had five thousand Star Butterfly Fish Eye in his body.
Consuming only three or four hundred is nothing.
If it weren't for the requirement to master the basics of the cultivation method before one could continue evolving, he would have wanted to continue evolving further.
A wealth of information about the Sky-Piercing Heart King Seal flowed rapidly into Lin Hui's mind as its evolution was completed. Along with this came changes to parts of his body and soul. The rules of the Blood Seal's evolution are new techniques that can be mastered quickly. It provides all the necessary conditions for entry, and can even allow Lin Hui to start directly from the basics.
This time is no different.
The so-called Sky-Piercing Heart King Seal is actually a completely new and significantly enhanced version of the previous one, with the addition of many unknown substances that Lin Hui was completely unaware of. After being integrated into the Heaven Seed, it underwent a complete transformation.
This seal technique is now a completely new seal technique that has been derived and evolved step by step from the Blood Seal, and has never appeared before.
But he was still not satisfied.
Because he still hasn't solved the previous problems: what exactly is the next level, and how can he advance to it?
Without figuring this out first, he won't even have a direction for evolution.
"Perhaps I should find a teacher." But this courtyard is full of people from the Thunder King Sect and the Myriad Stars Tower. If he wants to find a teacher with a high enough level, the highest level he can contact is only the Palace Master.
He was worried about being discovered as a teacher, but now, lacking direction, continuing might waste his Existence Force and time. At this level, a single waste could amount to millions of Existence Force, and even with his accumulated reserves, he couldn't withstand repeated expenditures. Therefore, the best approach was to expend a massive amount of Existence Force to evolve a top-tier hidden technique and then find a master.
Having remained undetected in the sect for so many years, the undiscipline of the Fusion Faction was evident. This gradually made Lin Hui's mind more active. With the power to Fate Reversal, the wind Wind Energy of merging with the Dao, and the Nameless Heart —three layers of protection—taking a little risk to gain more was worthwhile.
"If I want to become an apprentice, the Palace Master isn't enough... If I could directly become an apprentice of the Sect Master... then I could use him for a long time without having to change..." A thought flashed through Lin Hui's mind.
The key question is, how can we achieve this?
He hasn't even had the chance to contact anyone above the Palace Master, nor has he heard of any sect leader taking on disciples within the Thunder King Sect. Even the core geniuses, like Dinisha, are only accepted as disciples by the Four Seasons Primordial Lord.
The Four Seasons Primordial Lord is one level higher than the Palace Master, but her specific strength is unknown... However, judging from Dinisha's description, her position is one level higher. Sitting here and pondering this alone is not very meaningful; for such internal information, asking someone is the fastest way to get it.
And the people who can be found
Lin Hui activated his communication key, and his senses naturally landed on Dinisha, who had the highest cultivation level.
But Dinisha was still exploring unknown dimensions and hadn't emerged, so he settled for second best and looked at the most familiar Hongyu Chun.
He immediately got up, first went to the public area to spend money to buy some gifts, and then flew towards Hongyu Chun's residence.
In the void surrounding the alchemy furnace, the residences of Hongyu Chun and her group of alchemy protectors were undoubtedly of the highest rank.
After repeated inquiries, Lin Hui found Hongyu Chun's residence on the edge of the alchemy furnace's lid, which was also the edge of the main hall.
To be precise, it wasn't just a place to live, but a thick, red ocean.
The vast red ocean, one light-year in diameter, is entirely enclosed by a massive red stone wall formed from condensed Hongyu Chun, creating a cylindrical enclosure. At the center of the ocean, a colossal red Crystal Palace floats high in the sky, serving as the abode of Hongyu Chun.
"I didn't expect it to be you, kid. It's quite a rare sight. You never go out, so what brings you here to visit me?" This was said in the side hall of the palace where guests were received.
Wearing a black robe with red patterns, Hongyu Chun appeared and landed, looking at Lin Hui who had been waiting for her with a bright smile.
The palace was very large; Hongyu Chun had clearly shrunk in size, but was still much larger than Lin Hui.
In comparison, Lin Hui only patched up to his ankle.
But he didn't care at all, sat down in his seat of honor, and gestured for Lin Hui to sit down as well.
The moment he reached out, a crystal chair appeared out of thin air behind Lin Hui, the perfect size.
"Thank you, Steward Hong." Lin Hui clasped his hands in thanks. After sitting down, he asked directly.
"Actually, I've come on behalf of a friend to inquire about how one can become a disciple of the sect leader."
"Uh..." Hongyu Chun stammered. Seeing that Lin Hui's expression didn't seem to be joking, his smile gradually turned serious. "I think I know who your friend is, but the sect leader hasn't taken on any disciples for a very long time, and the conditions are extremely high." "Of course. The sect leader is at such a high level, naturally the conditions are extremely high." Lin Hui nodded. "Senior, please speak frankly. In any case, this is my friend incurring your favor."
"Alright. Then I'll get straight to the point." Hongyu Chun smiled.
After a moment's hesitation, he slowly spoke.
"The sect leader is shrouded in mystery, and currently has two disciples, both of whom are already serving as hall masters. Therefore, the only way to reach this level and become his disciple is through the Primordial Corpse."
"Primordial Corpse?" This was the term Lin Hui heard most often when he came to the courtyard. Now, hearing it again from Hongyu Chun, he became even more curious about it.
"Indeed, the Primordial Corpse is the sect leader's primary focus. The two disciples before him were actually accepted into his sect because of their significant contributions to the development of the Primordial Corpse. I remember that at the beginning, the Primordial Corpse could only produce Primordial Qi. Later, those two found another way and extracted entirely new Primordial Blood and Primordial Flesh. Only later did they gradually develop Primordial Bones and Primordial Marrow."
Lin Hui nodded slightly in agreement.
Seeing that he understood, Hongyu Chun continued.
"Furthermore, the sect leader is not some kind and benevolent figure. Let me warn your friend about this first. He is a complete pragmatist. Once you can no longer provide him with benefits in the future, you will only be discarded as a expendable fodder."
"Senior, you dare to say that? Could it be that you have another suggestion?" Lin Hui's heart stirred slightly, and he asked in return.
"Well... you're quick-witted, not bad. Compared to the sect leader, who might only appear once every hundred years, the vice sect leader Junchen Primordial Lord, is only slightly inferior in cultivation level, but he is gentle, caring towards his disciples, and teaches without discrimination. I personally think he is a better candidate to become a disciple." Hongyu Chun stroked her chin and smiled slightly.
Seeing Lin Hui hesitate.
He simply stopped hiding it.
"To be honest, I am also a disciple of Junchen Primordial Lord. One-third of the core members of the Thunder King Sect have studied under my master. In fact, the true core pillars of the Thunder King Sect are mainly divided into three departments: the sect leader is in charge of the Upper Splendor Division, my master is in charge of the Heart Gathering Division, and there is a vice sect leader in charge of the Cloud Thunder Division."
"Although the sect leader of Upper Splendor Division is rarely seen, the presence of six Holy Lords ensures its stability. However, in other areas, the situation is maintained entirely by the two deputy sect leaders and their disciples. For example, in my Guangxin Hall, although the Guangxin Saint Lord created the Calamity-Defying Pills, have you ever seen the Holy Lord himself come here? Isn't it always the two deputy palace leaders who are in charge?"
Lin Hui was speechless.
