Qin Sheng found a quiet place and sat in meditation through the night. He vaguely sensed something, but it was like light slipping through his fingers or wind brushing past his ears—impossible to grasp.
As the sun rose, Li Ruoyu appeared beside Qin Sheng at some unknown moment and asked:
"Are you comprehending that secret technique?"
Qin Sheng nodded and answered frankly, "Nine Secrets: Jie is unparalleled under heaven. There are no True Immortals in this world, so calling it an immortal technique would not be an exaggeration. I do desire to learn this secret technique."
"It is not yet time for the inheritance to awaken," Li Ruoyu replied.
"I think it is time."
Qin Sheng looked beyond Taixuan. "The Ji Family's Divine Physique has emerged, and there is news that the Jiang Family and Purple Mansion Holy Land both have peerless prodigies. Beidou may be welcoming a Golden Age."
"In an era like this, Nine Secrets: Jie should not remain absent."
Li Ruoyu pondered for a moment, then nodded and turned away.
"Give it a try."
Qin Sheng went to find Ye Fan and began digging through his pockets for treasures.
"Yezi, let me borrow the Bodhi Seed."
Ye Fan did not refuse. He handed over the Bodhi Seed engraved with a Buddhist image and reminded him:
"I tried comprehending Clumsy Peak while holding the Bodhi Seed, but I still gained nothing."
"What if I can?" Qin Sheng smiled and found another corner to continue.
The Bodhi Seed could bring enlightenment and awaken wisdom. It was the seed of the Enlightenment Saint Tree.
"I remember Li Ruoyu saying in the original story that the mountain is a scripture. To obtain the secret method, one needs the corresponding state of mind—one's heart must merge with the mountain."
Qin Sheng pondered.
