Chapter 33: Wei Wuji's Scheme
"Enough talk, let's just follow them!" Tang Yuan said.
Since both companies have been keeping quiet about it, they clearly don't want to talk about it.
Asking at this point would only create resentment between the two parties.
Tang Yuan then led the people of Tangjiabao to follow them.
……
On the stone platform.
Wei Zhan was looking at Qin Zhixue.
She was still unconscious at this point.
Wei Wuji sat cross-legged to the side, continuing to heal his injuries.
Suddenly, flames shot into the sky from the abyss, exploded in the air, and the flames transformed into a majestic eagle.
"They're here!" Wei Zhan's eyes flickered; it was a signal from their people.
Wei Wuji sensed something and opened his eyes.
"Third Grand Uncle, the people from Snowdrift Manor have arrived!" Wei Zhan said.
"They've already arrived!" Wei Wuji slowly stood up, looking at the eagle formed by the firelight in the sky, his gaze extremely sinister.
Then, he glanced at Qin Zhixue again.
"The Primordial Palace deep within the 'Black Abyss' is suspected to be an ancient site of immortals. If I can enter the palace, I might be able to find the secret to immortality...!" Wei Wuji murmured, his eyes burning with desire. This time, his mission to wipe out the three major forces was merely a side effect.
His real goal was to obtain the three 'Black Abyss' Ancient Tokens and open the Primordial Ancient Palace.
With the emergence of the "Black Abyss," all major powers consulted countless ancient texts.
A book unearthed from ancient times, "Liexian Zhuan" (Biographies of Immortals), records that in ancient times, there were immortals who flew on swords and could absorb qi to achieve immortality.
The fact that Qin Jianmei, the former master of Mingjian Manor, obtained the "Sword Control Technique" proves that immortals do indeed exist.
However, Qin Jianmei had no other methods of cultivating immortality, and she died without learning this method of immortality.
First: The "Sword Control Technique" only contains the essentials of sword control, not the basic cultivation techniques for immortality.
Without basic cultivation techniques, he never developed magical power.
Second: Qin Jianmei also failed to cultivate a powerful divine sense.
Although upon reaching the Grandmaster realm, one's perception becomes extremely subtle, and a rudimentary consciousness has already emerged, allowing one to observe an area within a radius of fifty meters.
This meager amount of 'divine sense' was insufficient for him to control the sword.
However, Qin Jianmei did not come away empty-handed.
He grasped the true essence of swordsmanship through this, and was able to transform his inner energy into a sword.
Finally, he even reached the state of perfect harmony between man and sword.
That sword strike demonstrated a combat power no less than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After Qin Jianmei reached the peak of Grandmaster, her strength was comparable to that of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
That's why Wei Wuji was filled with anticipation for the ancient hall and wanted to go inside to find out what was going on.
As Wei Wuji whispered, Qin Zhixue, who had kept her eyes closed, opened them.
At this moment, the golden light around her subsided, and the protective shield that had enveloped her disappeared.
Wei Wuji and Wei Zhan's eyes flickered as they both looked at Qin Zhixue.
"You obtained an ancient inheritance?" Wei Wuji stared at Qin Zhixue with eyes as sharp as swords.
His chilling gaze carried a sword-like intent that pierced the soul.
Qin Zhixue felt a chill run down her spine and immediately woke up.
"I...I heard someone whispering in my ear!" Qin Zhixue said.
Her mind was far from calm at that moment.
Everything that just happened felt like a dream.
But the woman from a distant time and space was someone she could never forget, like a brand that could never be erased.
The woman's aura was so imposing, looking down upon the world... overlooking the starry sky, giving people a feeling of being above all living beings.
That ethereal quality is absolutely unique...
and also……
My own body seems to have undergone subtle changes as well.
She could feel a warm sensation above her dantian, as if there was an extra breath of energy.
Moreover, she could sense countless amounts of Qi in the world at her fingertips.
Various kinds of Qi swirled around his body.
She has developed a clear perception of airflow, breeze, and even vegetation.
she……
He had suddenly reached a level of keen perception, and there were signs that the blood and qi in his body were transforming into true qi.
He had clearly reached the level of a half-step grandmaster.
It was also because the blood and qi in her body had not been completely transformed into true qi, otherwise she could have made great strides and entered the realm of Grandmaster.
All of this is enough to prove that she has obtained a great opportunity.
Now that Wei Wuji has asked, she knows she can't hide it from him anymore.
Because the latter had reached the Grandmaster realm by perceiving the subtleties of this place in the past.
"Someone whispered in your ear? What did they say?" Wei Zhan asked, his gaze darkening.
Wei Wuji also stared at her, his eyes burning with anticipation.
"It seems to be about reaching the ultimate emptiness and maintaining perfect stillness..." Qin Zhixue said.
"Attain utmost emptiness, maintain steadfast stillness?" Wei Zhan murmured to himself, not understanding its meaning.
"Just these few words?" Wei Wuji looked at Qin Zhixue.
"Just these few words!" Qin Zhixue said.
She did not reveal all fourteen truths.
The truth and the falsehood are enough.
She had no idea how many truths Wei Wuji had obtained.
If everything were revealed, thus facilitating the latter, it wouldn't be so wonderful!
"Anything else?" Wei Wuji glanced at Qin Zhixue, but didn't pursue the matter further, and then asked.
"The sound made me feel disoriented, as if I were in a dream, and I don't know how long it lasted before I woke up!"
Qin Zhixue said.
Her gaze was clear as she looked at Wei Wuji and asked, "Grandmaster, what does 'Attain utmost Emptiness, Guard Steadfast Stillness' mean?"
Wei Zhan also looked at Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji was somewhat displeased that he had failed to extract any useful information and that the other party was instead questioning him.
"The meaning of these six words is: If one forgets everything around them, as if they were in a void, they can attain peace."
Wei Wuji also said something, half-truthfully, because as a grandmaster, he would lose face if he didn't explain.
If we truly understand the truth and let this girl learn it, she might develop into a formidable rival in the future. Wouldn't we regret it to the point of despair?
"Forget everything around you, as if you were in a void?" Qin Zhixue pondered, seemingly lost in thought.
Wei Wuji looked at Qin Zhixue, observing her expression, trying to discern a clue.
"Thank you for your understanding, Master!" Suddenly, Qin Zhixue's eyes lit up, and she stood up abruptly, bowing deeply to Wei Wuji.
It seemed that her words had enlightened her and given her some clarity.
"Didn't she grasp the profound meaning of this mantra before?" Wei Wuji murmured, looking at Qin Zhixue.
Judging from the latter's expression, it seemed that he had truly benefited from the advice given to him, and that he wasn't lying to him.
In reality, Qin Zhixue merged with the void under the influence of Dao Yin, entering a profound and mysterious "state of mind".
But this realization was all accidental; it wasn't something she truly understood.
Now, Wei Wuji's words about forgetting everything around you, as if you were in the void, suddenly enlightened her.
It felt somewhat similar to the situation I had experienced when I entered that "state of mind" earlier.
As for the following phrase, "one can attain tranquility," it is clearly an inaccurate expression.
However, Qin Zhixue did not point it out.
"You understand now?" Wei Zhan frowned and murmured, "Why didn't I sense anything special about those words?"
Wei Wuji's sinister gaze gradually softened, as if he no longer doubted that Qin Zhixue had obtained other inheritances.
Seeing this, Qin Zhixue breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing that she had temporarily fooled Wei Wuji.
"It's a pity I haven't reached the Grandmaster level, otherwise..." Qin Zhixue murmured.
Now that she's being held hostage, she doesn't want to just sit and wait to die.
Unfortunately, his strength was too weak, and escaping from the hands of a grandmaster was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"We can only wait for Father!" Qin Zhixue thought to herself, her brows furrowed as she looked into the distance.
