"He didn't let all my efforts to nurture him go to waste. When it mattered, he still proved useful!"
Li Chen felt deeply gratified.
At the same time, however, he noticed that Shen Longcheng and the others were standing ready outside. They had even summoned Divination Way experts and relevant secret treasures from across the Creation Secret Realm to keep a close watch on Nan Fengchai and the others' minds.
Any influence he exerted on them might be detected.
These precautions had been prepared in advance, drawing on the profound accumulated resources of an entire Dao Path. Li Chen reckoned that even with purely mind-based magic power, breaking through them would not be easy.
To avoid creating extra complications, he chose to watch for now. If Nan Fengchai and the others remained unable to cross this threshold, he would try helping them in secret.
While Nan Fengchai busied himself, Li Chen did not sit idle either. He also began proving the proposition. With his memories from his previous life and the extraordinary intelligence formed by integrating the memory memes of elites from various fields in this life, he swiftly cracked it at last, deriving a divine ability Dao Fruit that could be added to a Dharma Eye.
He named it the True Knowledge Art. It added the power of rational cognition to the existing Truth-Peering Dharma Eye and Truth-Piercing Secret Art.
The original abilities embodied mind-based power and intuition, brimming with the distinctive traits of the cultivation world. The sudden premonitions and flashes of inspiration experienced by great powers and experts, so often recorded in ancient texts, and even the cognitive abilities relied upon by many Divination Way experts were all closely related to them.
But from this moment onward, they finally possessed a rational side as well.
