Three Reflections Leave Traces

No matter how tricky or obscure Li Shun's questions were, Han Qi always struck straight at their heart. In a few words, he swept away the tangled fog.

By the end of the day, Li Shun was thoroughly convinced by this Confucian School scholar at his own cultivation level.

No wonder he holds a scholar's post at the Imperial Academy. Whether he's unpacking the sages' classics or seeing into the foundations of cultivation, Han Qi is among the very best of this age.

Someone so brilliantly gifted, trapped in the Profound Insight Realm by something as nebulous as the will of heaven, unable to advance a single step.

Han Qi seemed to see straight through Li Shun's thoughts. He waved a hand, cutting them short.

"Everything has its cause. You don't need to sit there mourning my fate, kid."

"If you have time to spare, focus on mastering the scriptures. Ask fewer foolish questions tomorrow and give me a little peace."

Li Shun knew he was joking and smiled helplessly.

"To be frank, you were somewhat reckless."

"With your current strength, even with Square Inch behind you, you cannot face an Outer God directly."

"Taiyi Xuanpin and Hunkun Chixiang are renowned even in Chaos.
