"Don't look at me like that. Not only do I not know, but probably very few people in the world know the reason," Zhuge Changsong said with a shrug.
Zhuge Changsong said that, then it's probably not as simple as just the loss of a lineage; there must be some secret involved.
Seeing that Ling Yi remained silent, Zhuge Changsong continued, "However, although people cannot cultivate Spiritual Power, the Internal Energy they cultivate does contain a trace of Spiritual Power."
"Otherwise, why do you think Erbao could use his Internal Energy to manipulate the compass? Oh, right, Erbao is my good-for-nothing disciple, the silly boy you let go before!"
"I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for you, that kid might have been completely led astray by the King Zheng."
Ling Yi shrugged and said, "Thanks are unnecessary. After all, another of your disciples died at my hands. I thought you would stop me."
Zhuge Changsong's voice trembled slightly as he sighed, " The Sanbao ultimately went astray, and that's my responsibility. Taking them as disciples was an accident from the start."
Perhaps it had been a long time since Zhuge Changsong had spoken to someone so relaxedly; once he started talking, he couldn't stop.
Five years ago, they were abducted by traffickers—no, "abducted" is an understatement; they were robbed. The traffickers not only snatched them away in front of their parents, but also...
"I happened to be out on business at the time when I encountered this group of traffickers, so I stepped in to save them. Unexpectedly, their aptitude for cultivation and their understanding were quite good, so I took them as my disciples."
" Erbao is alright; although he's a bit simple-minded, he's fairly obedient. But Sanbao has long been tempted by the promises made by the King Zheng and has secretly committed many evil deeds in his King Zheng."
"He thought I didn't know, but after raising him for five or six years, how could I not see what kind of person he was?"
Zhuge Changsong was clearly a sentimental person with a human touch, which Ling Yi appreciated.
After all, he was in the lion's den, and he usually had to put on a disguise, needing to appear cold and ruthless.
In order to maintain their public image and conceal their true identity and purpose, they probably have to do some things against their conscience.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be black cesium Causality Line on Zhuge Changsong's body.
And there are quite a few of them.
If Ling Yi had followed his previous Obsession, Zhuge Changsong would have been converted into his Merit Points today as well.
But now that I think about it, how biased my previous thoughts were!
The black cesium Causality Line only indicate that this person has taken many lives, but those killed are likely all evil people.
After all, Ling Yi still has no way of knowing whether the Honor of Kings connected by the black cesium Causality Line is a good person or a bad person.
Perhaps we'll be able to make that distinction once our Causality Control improves.
"I'm sorry, I'm getting old, and I talk too much." As if realizing he was right, Zhuge Changsong couldn't help but give a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter, I have nothing else to do anyway."
Realizing that Zhuge Changsong didn't want to continue the topic, Ling Yi took the initiative to change the subject.
"This Ninth Prince is really quite pitiful. Either his son betrayed him, or his most trusted strategist wasn't one of his own."
Zhuge Changsong sighed and said, "The Ninth Prince's prestige has been accumulating for a long time, and erasing it is extremely difficult. Today, I have achieved my goal. I hope that next time we meet, you will bring me even more surprises!"
Ling Yi nodded slightly, knowing that their conversation was over for the day.
"Then we'll meet again."
Until we meet again!
Zhuge Changsong glanced at Ling Yi, his figure flickered a few times and disappeared, but a book flew from the air towards Ling Yi.
At the same time, Zhuge Changsong's voice, fading into the distance, drifted over. "This is Complete Compendium of Array Patterns passed down from my ancestor. It's no longer of use to me, so I'm giving it to you."
"Thank you!" Ling Yi reached out and took the book, nodding with satisfaction, remembering the favor.
This thing is exactly what Ling Yi needs right now.
Ling Yi did not leave immediately, but instead jumped onto the bluestone where Zhuge Changsong had previously hidden. He wanted to sort out his gains over the past period.
As for earning Merit Points, that should be put on hold for now.
With a thought, four lines of data appeared in the lower left corner.
Host: Ling Yi
Current level: 3
Merit: 173350
Ability: Causality Control (Intermediate)
The previous group at the foot of the mountain directly raised Ling Yi's level by one, and at the same time, his Causality Control finally reached the intermediate level.
Having reached level 3, Ling Yi was able to view the past and future without restriction, for a period of 10 days.
The Intermediate Causality Control adds two new functions: hiding Causality Line and Virtual Causality Line.
Everything in the universe, all living things, has Karma. Without cause and Karma, there would be no past, no future, and no present.
He knows nothing, knows nothing, no one remembers, and he remembers nothing.
Erasing cause and Karma is equivalent to erasing all traces of its existence.
Everything that exists must have Karma.
Of course, this refers to erasing Karma.
What if Karma are hidden? Hiding is not erasing, but the effects of hiding the Causality Line are even more terrifying. It is not only invisible, incalculable, and unpredictable.
It must not be thought of, drawn, remembered, touched, heard, or smelled!
What If...? Ling Yi were to hide all his Causality Line now, everyone connected to Ling Yi would temporarily forget Ling Yi existence.
Even if Ling Yi were standing right in front of him, he couldn't see him, remember him, recall him, or touch him.
This is Karma!
Intermediate Causality Control gave Ling Yi Ling Yi an even bigger surprise, and also gave him a trump card to protect himself in this world.
Perhaps when Ling Yi reaches a higher level of control, he will be able to erase the Causality Line.
As Ling Yi leaves more and more imprints on this world, more and more people become connected to him through Karma. At this moment, Ling Yi is already in a network of Karma.
The most striking one is still Zhao Chen's golden Causality Line.
According to Ling Yi's speculation, this golden Causality Line should be the so-called causal Causality Line Karmic Luck.
What kind of person is born with Karmic Luck Causality Line?
The Child of Karmic Luck, the favored son of Heavenly Dao, or, as Ling Yi felt, a more accurate title would be... the Protagonist.
Only the Protagonist has a Karmic Luck and Causality Line.
As for why it was easy to connect with him from the beginning, perhaps it's because he's a transmigrator, or perhaps he's the only special being who can steal the Protagonist Karmic Luck.
However, recently, this golden cesium Causality Line has been gradually fading and thinning.
Is Zhao Chen's Karmic Luck declining?
Yes, but not entirely.
Every Protagonist has a villain and a main storyline.
Ling Yi guessed that some of the things he had done were probably things that Zhao Chen should have been doing in the first place.
Zhao Chen is the Savior in the eyes of Zhuge Changsong, Ma Xiaoxiao and others. He will definitely confront the Ninth Prince in the future, lead everyone to overthrow the Ninth Prince and create a new era.
However, it will probably take some time before he truly confronts the Ninth Prince.
After all, Zhao Chen had only just emerged from obscurity and was currently at Red City Middle School, serving as the personal bodyguard of School Belle Yue Shanshan. He had not yet made a name for himself.
What I'm doing now is what Zhao Chen will have to do in the future.
It's like stealing the Protagonist's job.
Stealing the Protagonist's role is equivalent to stealing the Protagonist's Karmic Luck, which should be the main reason why the golden Causality Line have become faint and thin.
But so what if he robbed it? Ling Yi didn't care.
If possible, Zhao Chen should just continue with his daily routine; the rest of the work can be left to him.
After all, he needs Merit Points. Having already faced off against the Second and Second King, Ling Yi wouldn't mind facing off against the other nine kings.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi took out the Ten Thousand Buddhas' Mind-Reading Sutra and began to study this Buddhist teaching.
Meanwhile, Jiang Weike and his three companions were also on their way to Dafeng City.
"Director, is it really necessary for us to continue investigating? That Ling Yi..." Bai Qingzhe asked cautiously after glancing at Jiang Weike from the back seat of the car.
Jiang Weike glanced at him, a cold smile creeping across his face, but he remained outwardly composed, saying calmly, "I need to see Ling Yi."
Jiang Weike was hailed as a crime-solving genius by the people of Minghai City. How could he not have noticed that someone had installed listening devices in his phone and car?
The only ones who had the opportunity to tamper with things were the twin brothers Bai Qingzhe and Bai Qingyun, who had been parachuted in.
Jiang Weike even secretly investigated why they were transferred here.
The Ninth Prince's reach grew longer and longer, and his greed became increasingly insatiable.
In their quest to amass wealth and to consolidate and expand their power, they resorted to virtually any means necessary.
The struggle between the nine princes gradually intensified and became transparent.
Let alone a mere inspector of the Minghai City Inspection Bureau, even many ordinary people could see the extent to which the Nine Kings had fallen into conflict.
Bai Qingzhe and the other two were Liu Wuyun, the sixth prince, who was sent by the King Yun to specifically seize the opportunity to compete for the King Zheng.
Although they usually appear harmless, they are actually experts at the Acquired Seventh Layer of the Acquired Realm.
Even if Jiang Weike knew their identities, there was nothing he could do.
Although he hated evil and Abomination the chaos caused by the Nine Princes, he was not a fool and could not afford to offend any of them.
If the Second King and the six kings were to fight over Minghai City, the Minghai City would likely be turned upside down.
Although there's nothing that can be done to these two people, one can use one's own methods to prevent them from causing trouble as much as possible.
This is why Jiang Weike has always kept them by his side.
As for Ran Li, her identity is fine, and her information is very clean. She looks like a simple girl who has just started working.
A few months ago, Jiang Weike accidentally discovered that Ran Li could lift a 400-pound boulder with one hand, which immediately made Jiang Weike suspicious of her identity.
Jiang Weike also investigated her secretly, but he couldn't find anything out.
So, since bringing two or three was the same as bringing three, I simply brought Ran Li along as well.
Logically speaking, if the three of them refused, Jiang Weike would not have been able to force them to stay with him.
Jiang Weike guessed that Ling Yi, who was involved in the series of events following the death of the " Doctor," was also their target.
Or rather, their mastermind wants to investigate Ling Yi.
That's why I didn't refuse.
But one thing is certain: Ran Li and the Bai Qingzhe brothers are not on the same side.
Bai Qingzhe and the others had been actively cooperating with his investigation of Ling Yi, even going so far as to notify their master and grant him some of his authority.
Otherwise, Jiang Weike wouldn't have been able to find out that Ling Yi was in Dafeng City.
But as they learned more about Ling Yi and realized Ling Yi power, they were clearly afraid.
It can sever a person's Karmic Force, see good and evil at a glance, and know a person's past and future.
In just a few months, over a hundred villains have died at Ling Yi's hands.
It's worth noting that Ling Yi left behind the words " Heavenly Punishment " in Village 46, demonstrating just how much Ling Yi hated evil.
