Lu Li was cultivating. For the first five days, he had been cultivating Xuan Energy to stabilize his realm.He found something strange. As soon as he started, Xuan Qi began to pop out from nowhere constantly. He was amazed at how profound it was.
Xuan Qi in this room was at least dozens of times more profound than on the outside. In other words—the speed of cultivation without the a.s.sistance of pellets in this room could be dozen times faster than cultivating outside.
Lu Li suddenly had an idea. Was the Xuan Qi absorbed by the Demon-slaying City lead to the spa.r.s.e Xuan Qi on the outside? Was there a huge formation under the Demon-slaying City to absorb Xuan Qi from all over the world?
Lu Li began to study psychic power after five days. Psychic power could be immensely useful!
Psychic power was an extension of one"s spirit. One would be able to see the world with spirit, not to sense the world with eyes or ears. In simpler terms, it would be to see the world with freed up spirit.
Lu Li knew how to release psychic power. His Soul Pond had become strong enough for this or he wouldn"t have been able to reach the Eternal Realm.
Inside his soul, there was a Soul Pond floating, occupying two thirds of the s.p.a.ce. The size was the standard against which to measure a warrior"s Soul Pond"s strength.
The larger the Soul Pond was, the stronger the soul would be. When developed to a certain stage, the soul could be "freed up", not literally, though. The warrior was simply sensing the surroundings with extensions of his soul.
Lu Li was exploring ways of using psychic power. He tried a method Madam Yan gave him. He meditated, making his psychic power hit against the walls of Soul Pond so as to break free and extend out…
He made several attempts but to no avail.
He realized that the walls of his Soul Pond was thicker than others. His soul was limited inside the Soul Pond, unable to set free.
"Can it be because of the silver dragon?"
The silver dragon mark on his Soul Pond almost made him immune to average attacks on the soul. Not even the Great Patriarch of the Lu Family who majored in the cultivation of souls was able to see through Lu Li"s soul. Chee-ker, queen of the Hag Race, was not able to charm him as well.
His soul was strong. Could it be the reason that the walls of his Soul Pond was thicker?
This was Lu Li"s understanding. But he was not willing to give up. Psychic power was useful. If he could not use it, his fighting abilities would be diminished greatly. Others would be able to sense his presence but he couldn"t locate his enemies.
He would not allow that to happen. He made up his mind and directed his psychic power against the walls of his Soul Pond again and again. Every time, he would try his best. He felt he was going to have a mental breakdown.
Hundreds of times, and thousands and more!
Lu Li had lost count of his attempts. He felt as if he was losing his mind. He didn"t know if this would be detrimental to his soul or not but he believed that if he kept trying, he would psychic power to use.
"Boom!"
Three days later, Lu Li heard a boom inside his mind. The silver dragon mark on his Soul Pond glared. At that moment, Lu Li felt he had entered a new world. Finally, his spirit could extend out beyond the walls of his Soul Pond.
Lu Li kept his eyes closed but he could see everything in the room, including Little White who was sleeping. He could see every decoration in the room and even the gentle breeze.
"This is amazing!"
Lu Li cheered up. It was as if he was a kid receiving a new toy. Extending his spirits further out, he saw maids and escorts outside. The two maids were conversing in a low voice about Jiang Qiling.
"Jiang Qiling? I want to see her!"
Lu Li extended his spirit even further. Soon, he located her room and let his psychic power penetrate through the wall. But he felt a barrier. There was a thin layer of s.h.i.+eld on the wall that stopped his psychic power.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li was unhappy. He controlled his psychic power to hit against the s.h.i.+eld as it did with the walls of his Soul Pond. Soon, his eyes glowed as his psychic power broke free and sensed Jiang Qiling who was sitting there quietly with her legs crossed.
"Eh?"
Jiang Qiling opened her eyes suddenly. Her eyes were filled with coldness and there were some golden words faintly visible. She didn"t look like a s.l.u.t anymore, but a Buddhism G.o.ddess.
"Buzzing~"
At the same time, the walls of her room lit up which alarmed the maids and escorts outside. One of the escorts shouted, "Who is it? Are you seeking death?"
Lu Li was frightened. He retracted his psychic soon. Jiang Qiling walked out and traced the psychic power back to Lu Li.
"Wow…"
She was surprised. Then she waved her hand and said, "Nothing. Don"t make such a fuss. Don"t tell my grandpa this. Understood?"
The escorts and maids nodded. Jiang Qiling walked into Lu Li"s room and closed the door. Then she pushed on a b.u.t.ton and activated the Inhibition Formation in the room. She asked, "Lu Li, was that you?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li grinned, "I just learned how to use psychic power so I am just having some fun."
"Eh…"
Jiang Qiling was shocked. She walked around him for a bit and asked, "Lu Li, you freak. I find it ridiculous that they say I can become the chosen warrior. But…I have a feeling. If you can live on, you will be the real pride of humans sooner or later."
Lu Li touched his nose and asked, "Why is that?"
Jiang Qiling understood he was still confused and explained, "The Inhibition Formation in the room can cut off psychic powers. Not even average n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors are able to send their psychic powers through the Inhibition Formations, let alone those at the Eternal Realm. You, however, has just reached the Eternal Realm but your psychic power is so strong. And your speed is faster than warriors at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm. If a freak like you cannot become a pride for humans, then who can?"
"How can it be?" Lu Li blinked in disbelief.
His Soul Pond"s size was the same as others of the Eternal Realm. Then how could his psychic power stronger than those of warriors at the initial stage of the n.o.ble Lord Realm? This was illogical.
"Why would I lie?"
Jiang Qiling looked at him with curiosity and said, "Lu Li, how did you do that? Teach me. Is this a lost method from the Lu Family?"
"I am abandoned by the Lu Family. How can I learn a lost method from the Lu Family? I cannot even learn the Warlord Alb.u.m now."
Lu Li frowned. After some thoughts, he believed that the only explanation was the silver dragon.
When a silver dragon mark appeared on his Fate Wheel, his speed was increased markedly. Now with the one on his Soul Pond, his psychic power was much stronger…
"Animal tooth. It must have something to do with the animal tooth pendant!"
Lu Li automatically reached for his neck for the missing animal tooth. He was a bit disappointed. Maybe only Lu Renhuang could give Lu Li the answer of the origin of the animal tooth pendant.
Lu Li put the matter behind his mind since he could not find the exact answer. He asked Jiang Qiling, "How are you doing? How is your divine energy? What is that, anyways? How can it help with your abilities?"
"I have absorbed most of it."
Jiang Qiling tilted her head and answered with a frown, "But I haven"t found out how to use it. But I have a feeling. If I can absorb all the divine energy, my abilities can be enhanced by several times and my Soulfest b.u.t.terfly will be more powerful as well. Right… Lu Li, did you have something to do with the Emperor of Heaven Reverse granting the divine energy?"
