How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Chapter 572: Chapter 571: Heavenly Master’s Wild Fantasies
Feng Ji couldn’t fathom more for a moment.
She didn’t need to guess. She familiarly used her thigh as his pillow, familiarly looking at his handsome and gentle face, skillfully using her fingers to gently brush away his disheveled hair, as if tidying her own tangled thoughts…
To face the Enlightenment Realm with an Observing Earth body.
And truly killed an Enlightenment Realm.
What kind of legend is this?
Her experiences in that world were fragmented, seemingly with many legends hidden deep within the Sea of Consciousness, but are there any legends comparable to this?
Apparently not!
The world says, the division between Observing and Enlightenment is a chasm as wide as the heavens.
The mightiest Observing Heaven is never a match for the weakest Enlightenment Realm.
What about him?
He hasn’t reached Observing Heaven.
Chi Lian wasn’t the weakest Enlightenment Realm either.
He just managed it contrary to all expectations.
Little junior brother, what kind of person are you?
Really want to open up your skull and see all the secrets hidden inside…
Kun Cang is not vast, but explosive news spreads instantaneously throughout Kun Cang.
Countless communication tokens in Luanyun City activated simultaneously…
The entire Kun Cang was in upheaval.
This turmoil was ten times more explosive than the destruction of Xiaoyao Palace and Cangmang Palace that day.
Because an unusually sensitive person did something that shocked all the high-ranking officials.
Lin Xiaosu killed Chi Lian.
No array, no modern weapons, confronting him face-to-face and killing Chi Lian as easily as killing a chicken.
Lu Sanqian of Li Palace Road slapped the table and stood up, his hair flying in the wind with a magical rhythm, his son Lu Rufeng and daughter Lu Rusi both with flushed faces.
Li Chushui of Chunshui Palace suddenly stood up, the great lake before her undulated, stretching ten miles.
In Shenghua Valley, when Hua Miaoyi received the news, she was walking under a peach tree; upon hearing the news, the peach blossoms fell drifting from the tree.
In Three Buddha Temple, Abbot Kong Wen slowly closed his eyes, uttering “Amitabha” like a great voice from the universe, the Buddhist Hall resonating for a whole quarter of an hour.
Cun Mountain, Chaotic River Valley, Hengshui Sect, Luofang Sect…
Almost all the sect leaders came out of seclusion…
The one who started it all, Lin Xiaosu, finally opened his eyes at dawn the next day.
As usual, he was greeted by Feng Ji’s gaze.
“Feeling better?”
“The Blood Tower is fully restored, but the recovery of my brain will take at least three days. Sister, I still need to borrow your thigh…”
Feng Ji’s face showed an indescribable expression: “Tell me three things, and you can borrow my thigh for three days and nights.”
“Ask away.” Lin Xiaosu blinked.
“The first question… how exactly did you kill Chi Lian?” Feng Ji transmitted her thoughts, the question that had tormented her for so long.
The question of what his trump card was.
This trump card was revealed today.
But it seemed not to be, because even though she saw Chi Lian die with her own eyes, she still didn’t know what his trump card was in killing Chi Lian.
“Subdivine Secret Technique!” Lin Xiaosu also transmitted.
Subdivine Secret Technique!
Feng Ji finally understood!
No wonder this method seemed so similar to the Primordial Spirit Technique; it turns out to be a Subdivine Skill parallel to the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique.
She knew the term Subdivine Skill.
But encountering it in reality was a first.
The secret that trapped her for so long was finally revealed, unveiled as another secret…
Forget it, better to read his strange book slowly in the future.
Feng Ji asked the second question: “Today you met the Luanyun Heavenly Master, what do you think of him?”
“Very interesting!” Lin Xiaosu said.
“Interesting? What do you mean by interesting?” Feng Ji asked.
Lin Xiaosu slowly raised his gaze, looking up at the sky while lying on her thigh, seemingly choosing his words: “Firstly, this person is very shrewd. In the past, he never revealed his Enlightenment Realm cultivation, but now with the two sect masters of Luanyun Heaven gone, leaving a leaderless stage, he reveals his Enlightenment Realm cultivation. Barring surprises, he will easily pluck the peach of Luanyun Heaven.”
Feng Ji slightly opened her mouth, wanting to retort with a word or two…
But she wasn’t just a pretty face; she was a veteran trained in Jianghu and quickly realized Lin Xiaosu was right.
Following common reasoning, if the Luanyun Heavenly Sect Master was killed by an outsider, the Heavenly Master should take action to kill this murderer and avenge the sect master, which is the proper course.
Yet he did the opposite, directly siding with the “murderer,” proclaiming that the sect leader of Luanyun Heaven, Chi Lian, deserved to die.
Wouldn’t this stir up the fervent wrath of Luanyun Heaven’s subordinates?
Yes, that’s the common reasoning.
This applies only to ordinary sects.
Luanyun Heaven is not like this.
The people of Luanyun Heaven respect power, not virtue, because they are originally a group without virtue.
In facing such people, there’s no need for kindness and morality, only for deterrence; whoever dares to oppose him, kill! Even former sect leader Chi Lian is no exception.
Who dares to defy him?
So, Lin Xiaosu’s assertion that he reached out today and claimed Luanyun Heaven is spot on.
Lin Xiaosu said, “Secondly, this person is very contradictory!”
“Contradiction?” Feng Ji asked.
“Senior sister, did you notice that this Heavenly Master is strong on the outside but weak on the inside?”
“No way? I didn’t notice! How did you see it?” Feng Ji’s heart was pounding.
Lin Xiaosu said, “His Dharma Body looks larger than Chi Lian’s, but the structure of his True Yuan is very loose. However, this looseness is integrated using very sophisticated methods. How should I put it? There’s this feeling… he’s perfectly adept at using True Yuan, but his foundation is very shaky!”
Feng Ji pondered, “High skill, weak foundation. Why does it sound like possession?”
With a swish, Lin Xiaosu suddenly jumped up from Feng Ji’s lap.
Feng Ji was also startled, “Really?”
“It’s possible! Very possible! Senior sister, it might just be as you said,” Lin Xiaosu replied.
Generally, cultivators reach the Enlightenment Realm through solid cultivation, rarely having a weak foundation.
Furthermore, when first entering the Enlightenment Realm, it’s very difficult to use the laws of True Yuan freely.
It’s unlikely to have a contrast where one’s handling of True Yuan is exemplary, yet their foundation is weak.
There is one exception.
That is Primordial Spirit Possession.
To perform Primordial Spirit Possession, one must have a Primordial Spirit. Possessing a Primordial Spirit means what?
It means his cultivation level far exceeds the first stage of the Enlightenment Realm: the Enlightenment Body Stage.
Thus, he is skilled in using True Yuan.
However, the possessor still undergoes an adaptation process, which makes the foundation very weak.
Considering this Heavenly Master’s peculiarity of sleeping twenty-nine days a month, the judgment of him being a possessor is almost self-evident…
Feng Ji furrowed her brows, “I also noticed something crucial.”
“Go on!”
“He’s cultivating a Life and Death System technique as well!”
Lin Xiaosu’s face changed…
Feng Ji gently exhaled, “If he truly is a Primordial Spirit Possessor, then he needs to replenish his Qi. And just beside him, there happens to be an innocent Dawa. What do you think will happen to Dawa?”
Lin Xiaosu’s expression shifted…
“We need to call Master and return to Heavenly Master Valley!”
Lin Xiaosu slowly shook his head, “No rush!”
“No rush? How can you not be? Dawa is so innocent, so kind… don’t forget, you shared such a connection with her.”
Lin Xiaosu gently exhaled, “Thank you for your reminder, senior sister! But… she… her situation is a bit complicated.”
“She’s such a simple person, can it be complicated?” Feng Ji said, “You really need to listen to me this time, or else you’ll carry a regret on your path that’ll become a hindrance, a demon in your heart.”
Lin Xiaosu said, “Senior sister, let me tell you something truthfully, then you can give me an answer, alright?”
“Speak!”
“Whether or not she is kind is another matter, but she’s not a simple girl,” Lin Xiaosu said. “She’s a super Nirvana from the Nine Headed Snake. Anyone who thrives and reaches the end in that organization has faced all sorts of schemes and plots. There isn’t a single one who isn’t a human genius.”
Feng Ji was utterly stunned.
Lin Xiaosu continued, “Things that we can discern, she has no reason not to. If she wishes to leave, she would definitely find the opportunity. If she chooses not to, she must have her reasons.”
Feng Ji exhaled deeply, “Actually, her interaction with you might just be part of a strategy, right?”
“Indeed!”
“In your heart, this moon’s surface had already been sullied?”
“She is known as Qing Yan within the Nine Headed Snake! Whether this wisp of smoke still veils the moon, I don’t know,” Lin Xiaosu said. “But I gave her the chance and await her final decision.”
Feng Ji leaned back slowly on the boat, quietly gazing at the sky.
Lin Xiaosu said, “Indeed, kindness and trust are the most beautiful things in this world. Yet in this somewhat twisted state of affairs, sometimes we must respect others’ destinies, don’t you agree, senior sister?”
“Indeed, floating clouds obscure the sights!” Feng Ji sighed longingly, “I have one last question… where to next?”
“Return to Shenghua Valley!”
Feng Ji showed a hint of moving emotion in her eyes, “You said ‘return’?”
“Yes, when I entered Kun Cang, Shenghua Valley was the first place I went, and you were the first woman I saw there. Those few days and nights in Shenghua Valley gave me a sense of tranquility and peace akin to a home, so using ‘return’ isn’t overly sentimental in theory.”
Feng Ji gave him a resentful look, “Just a reminder, the first woman you met in Shenghua Valley wasn’t me, but the little junior sister. You even had a fight with her, remember?”
“Her? Just a little brat, does she count as a woman?”
“Would you dare say that in front of her? If she doesn’t beat you to death, I’d doubt reality…”
The small boat drifted gently, words flowed, starlight shimmered, water glided, heading towards Shenghua Valley…
At dawn the next day, the boat turned into a river channel.
Lin Xiaosu was very familiar with this channel.
It was the river he left through after unlocking Shenghua Valley’s grand array and was first shown Enlightenment Realm combat power by Hua Miaoyi.
The channel from past days remains unchanged.
Except now, the two mountain peaks beside it no longer belong to Tianyan Palace but are under Hua’s domain.
These were personally seized by Hua Miaoyi from Tianyan Palace with the Three Buddha Temple’s high monk adjudicating, compensating Shenghua Valley through Zheng Tianyan.
Feng Ji steered the boat back, and Shenghua Valley disciples along the banks bowed, addressing her as master senior sister.
Their words were respectful, but their gazes were presumptive.
Their eyes fixed on Lin Xiaosu’s face, their guesses likely outrageous.
This master senior sister was unrivaled below Enlightenment, already famous in Kun Cang.
Accompanying her rise to fame were rumors.
Many said the master senior sister was kidnapped by Lin Xiaosu, Feng Ji visibly gained weight, and among the disciples, there was another take; many said the master senior sister was watered and nourished by him, possibly even pregnant.
Feng Ji occasionally heard such talk, leaving her silently exasperated.
Seeing the disciples’ gaze towards him, certain they wouldn’t have anything nice to say, Feng Ji felt perplexed why the river stretch seemed so long…
