Insight II (Xie Lei Eats Eats Eats Alliance Leader)

Lin Hui didn't bother with any more words. His massive divine soul suddenly dispersed, covering everyone present.

The soul instantly transformed into a thin film, enveloping everyone and rapidly penetrating through the skin.

The vast divine soul, like an ocean, quickly immersed everyone within it, scanning their entire bodies inside and out.

This intense sense of intrusion sent shivers down everyone's spines and instilled a strong sense of crisis within them. However, based on their trust in Lin Hui and their confidence in the revival of the Fusionist, they suppressed their instinct to retaliate, quietly activated their defenses, and awaited the outcome.

A moment later.

"There's nothing wrong with my body," Lin Hui said calmly. "Then the most likely problem lies with my soul."

His gaze swept across the group of women.

"Which of you is willing to let me examine your soul?"

silence.

No one spoke.

The soul is the most essential part of a person or a living being.

Accepting the examination means that all of the person being examined's memories, privacy, childhood experiences, and secret thoughts will be completely exposed to Lin Hui.

People trust Lin Hui, but not to that extent.

After all, they are all Fusionist; those who can come to this place are almost all people who have betrayed their origins.

It's almost impossible for such people to completely trust another outsider.

So now, everyone is silent.

"I'll do it!" Xiling Ghost took a deep breath and stepped forward. "In my life, I have nothing to fear. Come on!"

She looked at Lin Hui, completely relaxed her mental defenses, and withdrew the passive spells from her body.

Lin Hui looked at her, somewhat surprised.

As Fusionist, he knew very well how much wariness he needed to let go to make such a decision.

"Are you really sure?"

"I've thought it through. We've come this far together, there's no turning back," Xiling Ghost said earnestly. "My only choice is to trust you. I don't know why, but I always feel that you're different from other people..."

Lin Hui remained silent for a moment. There are always some people in this world who have extremely keen senses and can always discover things that others cannot see.

For example, the little sister from back then, and the Xiling Ghost right now.

Without further ado, he stretched out his hand and pointed at it from afar.

Swish!!

An invisible, distorted wave shot out instantly and pierced his chest.

At that moment, their souls were directly connected.

Lin Hui's terrifyingly vast divine soul, compared to Xiling Ghost, was like a galaxy to an ant—boundless, immense, and boundless.

In an instant, she felt an urge to completely merge into that galaxy of divine souls.

This is due to the difference in spiritual essence, which is caused by the density attraction generated by nature.

But Lin Hui subdued him in the next moment.

He separated countless threads of divine soul and gently pierced the soul of the Xiling Ghost to examine what was wrong with it.

A flood of memories, thoughts, and ideas rushed past his eyes.

Among them are glimpses into Xiling Ghost life, and even shameful moments when he fantasizes about her.

From his memories, Lin Hui suddenly realized. This guy... this Xiling Ghost, actually had genuine feelings for him?!

It was only because she lacked the talent to be compared to Dinisha that... her intentions were discovered by Dinisha, and she was even secretly warned and beaten once.

Later, after hearing about Lin Hui and Junchen Primordial Lord's affair, she drowned her sorrows in alcohol and spent a lot of her energy in restaurants to relieve her boredom.

All these memories, at this moment, were laid bare and shown to Lin Hui.

To be able to do this...

Even Lin Hui at this moment was somewhat moved.

Unfortunately... he could never find a second Daoist partner.

His future path is destined to be full of thorns, Xiling Ghost's qualifications and potential are far from sufficient to accompany him on this journey.

If you were to agree to become her Daoist partner, it would only lead to her death in the end.

Upon regaining his senses, Lin Hui realized something was amiss.

At this moment, Xiling Ghost's legs went weak, her whole body flushed, and she almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"How... how is it??"

"I've found something. Follow me." Lin Hui stood up and floated away into the distance.

The rest followed behind.

Space is constantly being traversed and torn apart.

Everyone quickly left the Clear Blood Hall and traversed a vast expanse of lightning-filled void.

We arrived at the area near the exit of the Primordial Corpse in the Black Tree Abyss.

Lin Hui stopped.

His gaze was fixed on a dark red, undulating, and distorted screen of light ahead.

The images he saw in Xiling Ghost's mind.

The vanished members of the Clear Jade Mountain are seen flying one after another into the dark red light curtain, their eyes blank.

"See it? It's right here," he said softly.

"What? What's here?" Xiling Ghost asked, frowning.

Not only her, but everyone else couldn't see anything either. Only Lin Hui could see the red light screen.

He didn't speak again, but just stared at the light screen, his spiritual vigilance surging up again and again, warning him not to get closer.

This means that something dangerous is hidden behind this light screen, and it could also be dangerous to him.

"As expected of the Source Disaster... Danger lurks everywhere..." With a sigh, Lin Hui abandoned his plan to search for the missing persons.

"From now on, Xiling Ghost, you will cultivate alongside me; the rest are free to do as they please."

He turned and flew back, ignoring them completely.

Throughout the entire Clear Jade Mountain branch, his relationship with these people was merely one of transactions; there wasn't much of a bond between them.

Since these people are unwilling to believe him, then they can only do as they please.

Xiling Ghost made the right choice, and their relationship naturally progressed further. She could be treated as a core disciple of Clear Jade Mountain.

The women looked at each other in bewilderment, and on the spot, more than ten of them left Clear Jade Mountain, losing the amplification of the seal and the Devil Incense.

The boost will automatically stop working if their sense of belonging wavers even slightly, regardless of whether they are willing to do so.

Ignoring what the others thought, Lin Hui led Xiling Ghost back to the Clear Blood Hall.

Instead of returning to Lin Hui's place, the two went to the branch hall where the mission was handed over.

"You've arrived! It's Lord Lin who has graced us with his presence. Please forgive my lack of hospitality."

Inside the dimly lit, fish-shaped main hall, the lights on both sides cast a yellowish glow. Floating high in the center is a one-eyed, bald old man.

He was shirtless, revealing a strong physique covered in scars. He wore simple grey cloth trousers, and a beautifully crafted golden longbow rested on his knees.

"I am Xiao Daokui, the steward of the Clear Blood Hall. Due to my cultivation, I am unable to rise. Please forgive me, Hall Master Lin."

"There's a minor problem in the hall. I need to examine your body and soul," Lin Hui said directly, not bothering with pleasantries.

"Palace Master Lin, isn't this a bit too aggressive? I am a servant of the Clear Blood Hall, not your subordinate. Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, you have no right to directly search and inspect me." Xiao Daokui refused directly, his face expressionless.

"I think you have a problem, and that's it." Lin Hui raised his hand forward. "You have no choice!"

He made a short sword shape with two fingers of his right hand and casually slashed forward.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

The Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique was activated instantly, propelled by External Source Wind Energy, allowing even a casual sword strike to easily distort space.

In that instant, billions of sword lights appeared in a single second.

Each of these processes far exceeds the functional level of Colloidal Dissociation.

The crimson glow of the Time String flashed and vanished in an instant.

Xiao Daokui remained motionless, all the Disaster Energy within his body forcibly disrupted and shattered in that instant. All the power within his body was forcibly replaced by Wind Energy.

At the same time, the cognitive restoration rule of the Authority Codex was activated directly. Xiao Daokui had only raised half of the longbow with his right hand, and did not even have time to put up a decent resistance.

That's all over.

Lin Hui recklessly searched through its soul memories and discovered that the guy's remaining cognition was only slightly stronger than that of the calamity monsters outside.

Compared to Xiling Ghost, he should have long since degenerated and mutated into a monster.

But now, this guy is still sitting here calmly, seemingly cultivating.

He should have almost lost all self-awareness.

"Let's go." Lin Hui released his control over his soul and turned to leave the branch hall.

"From now on, you'll stay here with me and don't go anywhere else. Don't worry about the mission." Lin Hui felt increasingly uneasy and gave him these direct instructions.

"Yes!" Xiling Ghost's expression also turned serious, and she nodded vigorously. "So you want me to be your plaything? No problem, Lord, rest assured, I will serve you wholeheartedly."

Lin Hui paused, speechless.

He wanted to correct him, but repeated experience told him it was pointless. The other person always managed to twist his meaning into something related to women.

He simply couldn't be bothered to interfere any further. After returning to the secondary palace, he expanded his divine soul, completely protecting the entire secondary palace.

He and Xiling Ghost then cultivated inside.

Because he doesn't need primordial energy or blood for cultivation, he directly provides primordial energy to Xiling Ghost to maintain his cognition, and Wind Energy his cultivation. He has everything he needs without any delay.

Meanwhile, as the power of the Authority Shadow continues to accelerate, the distribution density of Wind Energy throughout the Black Tree Abyss is also increasing.

It has even begun to gradually squeeze the space where Disaster Energy exists.

Previously, the distribution was simple, sparsely scattered across various areas of the Black Tree Abyss, in order to enable Lin Hui to teleport quickly.

Now, as time goes by, the Wind Energy released by Lin Hui has even reached about 30% of the proportion in the Black Tree Abyss void.

30% Wind Energy, 70% Disaster Energy.

Moreover, this proportion is increasing over time.

Time flies, year after year.

Lin Hui repeatedly studied the brain nucleus of the Insect Master, and he first determined the reproduction of the brain nucleus from a past time period.

Around that time, he collected more and more information, and it became increasingly comprehensive.

The massive divine soul reconstructed the past in the brain, and the brain core became increasingly realistic.

Every year, he would use the Supreme Omniscience Seal to comprehend and deduce the state of being and time.

This stage, belonging to the second stage of External Source, is more difficult than all the realms he has cultivated before.

Gradually, as time went by, Lin Hui began to have a vague hallucination...

Perhaps... the brain nucleus's past never disappeared, but was hidden. As long as the brain nucleus exists, it is destined to be connected to its past.

As Lin Hui observed the traces, he gradually gained a clear understanding.

In the past, some of it existed in the brain nucleus; in the present, some dispersed into fundamental particles and dissipated into the void.

The past of the Fusionist is constantly weathering away, turning into particles. Just like this thing...

In the sub-hall.

He gently reached out, and countless phantom images of the past naturally appeared in the brain core in his hand.

All the phantoms connected together, resembling a curved longsword.

At the end of the longsword's previous section was a dynamic scene of particles continuously decomposing into pale blue particles.

The past is a collection of traces, but what about the future?

The core of tense is past and future.

Now that he has basically figured out the past of his brain core, he is turning his attention to the future once again.

Swish!!

The Supreme Omniscience Seal activated.

In an instant.

Countless brain cores and longswords appeared before Lin Hui's eyes.

They floated in mid-air before our eyes, varying in length and shape, some with twisted and bizarre futures, some exquisite and gorgeous, some growing ever larger, and others shrinking rapidly to sharpness.

Billions of brain cores extend into the future, combining with the past parts of the brain cores to form countless swords of the past and future floating before Lin Hui's eyes, related to the Insect Master's brain cores.
