CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 288: TOO MYSTERIOUS

Divine Techniques!

When Qin Ke heard these two words, his pupils dilated.

He didn’t expect... the master would actually impart the Divine Techniques.

Is it that one...?

Suddenly, scenes of Chen Xuan materializing before him flashed in his mind!

"Divine Step! This was taught to me by my master’s master. When cultivated to its highest realm, it’s possible to step a hundred miles in an instant!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan really missed the Human Realm.

Even the perfected Divine Step can only cover a mere fifty miles in the Supreme Domain.

If it were in the Human Realm, it could easily cover a thousand miles.

The spatial rift pressure in the Supreme Domain is too great, and the consumption of Spiritual Power is also a big issue.

This is why even the perfected Divine Step finds it hard to cross vast distances.

"Really, truly!"

Qin Ke suddenly became excited, but didn’t forget to bow to Chen Xuan, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Master!"

"Enough!"

Even without using Telepathy, he could feel the excitement in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he directly imparted the cultivation method of Divine Step to him, and advised, "If possible, training in Spiritual Power can greatly benefit the understanding of Divine Step!"

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

Qin Ke nodded.

"I hope you can become the third in the sect to comprehend Divine Step!"

After patting his shoulder, Chen Xuan then left the study.

Divine Step, unlike Cultivation Techniques, requires personal perception, but only those who have truly comprehended Divine Step know how difficult this Divine Technique truly is.

After arriving in the Supreme Domain, he even began to wonder if this Divine Technique was something belonging to the Human Realm.

It’s too difficult! And too defying!

"I definitely can!"

Qin Ke’s voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally firm.

....

The next day!

"Let’s see the upgrade!"

Looking at the panel in front of him, Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

If it still doesn’t work, there’s nothing he can do.

"Upgrade, Ten Thousand Beasts Technique!"

As soon as the words were spoken, golden light flickered across the panel.

Instantly, the insight for cultivating the fifth layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique appeared in his mind.

After half an hour!

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and immediately activated the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique.

"Boom!"

Spiritual Power inside him rushed rapidly like a flowing river, emitting a rumbling sound.

"Creak, creak..."

Finally!

The rabbit finally appeared, sitting excitedly on Chen Xuan’s shoulder, licking his cheek with its tongue.

"Phew——"

Chen Xuan heaved a long sigh of relief.

He reached out and petted its furry little head, "You finally appeared!"

"Awoo..."

The rabbit rubbed its head against Chen Xuan’s hand, showing a very sad expression in its eyes.

"What’s the matter? Why did you suddenly appear? And then disappear again?"

Chen Xuan asked a series of questions.

"Creak, creak..."

The rabbit made sounds while shaking its head vigorously!

"You mean you can’t say?"

"Creak, creak!"

The rabbit nodded repeatedly in a very human-like manner.

Chen Xuan’s brows instantly furrowed, why is that?

Then he asked again, "Where exactly are you from? Why are you different from the others?"

But the rabbit still shook its head.

"You can’t say this either?"

Chen Xuan was at a loss for words, "What can you say?"

The rabbit spread its two small paws, "Creak, creak..."

"You mean you can’t say anything?"

"Creak!"

The rabbit nodded, with a look of helplessness in its eyes.

"Damn!"

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but curse.

It seems that it really can’t say anything. Damn! Just what identity does it have, being so mysterious.

"You know our two little ones at home, right? Is there any impact on them? You can say this, right?"

This time, the rabbit first nodded, then shook its head, and even gestured with its two small paws in the air.

This confused Chen Xuan greatly.

First nodding, then shaking its head.

Looks like he made it too complicated, so he opened his mouth helplessly again, "If there’s an impact, nod, if not, shake your head!"

"Creak, creak!"

This time the little rabbit shook its head immediately.

"That’s good then!"

No impact is fine, Chen Xuan was relieved.

"Alright, you can go back now!"

Chen Xuan petted its little head, though still full of questions, knowing... if it can’t say, there’s no point!

"Creak, creak!"

The little rabbit nodded, nuzzled Chen Xuan’s cheek again, and then transformed into a cluster of light, disappearing from his shoulder.

"Phew——"

After the rabbit disappeared, Chen Xuan let out a long sigh.

"This little thing... where exactly is it from!"

"Too mysterious!"

...

Sure enough, after the rabbit appeared, the two little fellows, Ning Long and Ning Feng, both entered the Immortal Grade.

Besides exclaiming how truly amazing it was, Chen Xuan also grew more and more interested in Marquis Ning.

Just where did this Ten Thousand Beasts Technique come from?

Moreover, he vaguely suspected in his heart that it was definitely not a cultivation technique from the Eastern Continent.

Ning Xin was also unclear about these matters, so Chen Xuan could only have Qin Ke and Zhuo Wu gather all the information about Marquis Ning.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the study.

Qin Ke had a mournful look, utterly helpless.

"Master, is there really no other way?"

Three months had passed, and he was still completely mystified about the Divine Techniques, unable to even reach the threshold.

Initially, with grand ambitions, he thought that for a divine technique, his talent wasn’t that bad, right? Even if he couldn’t cultivate to the highest level, surely reaching the entry level wouldn’t be a problem?

But reality had given him a harsh slap!

He didn’t even know how far away the threshold was!

In the end, with no other options, he came to the study today to seek advice from Chen Xuan.

"No, there isn’t!"

Chen Xuan couldn’t help either—not because he was withholding anything, but because the Divine Techniques were so perverse that they had to be comprehended on one’s own.

"Sigh!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ke couldn’t hide his disappointment and sighed helplessly.

"Try cultivating Spiritual Power!"

This was also a suggestion given to him by Xuan Er initially, which he had previously told Qin Ke, but the kid seemed not to take it to heart.

"Master, I tried, but I just got started with Spirit Cultivation, and it’s really slow!"

Every word Chen Xuan had said was etched in his heart, and he had indeed tried cultivating Spiritual Power.

But he simply had no talent for Spirit Cultivation.

Even entering the basic level was achieved by piling up medicinal pills.

Moreover, the cultivation speed was agonizingly slow, making him feel like he was on the brink of collapse, thinking he might suffer a Qi deviation at this rate.

"Then there’s nothing I can do either; we’ll have to leave it to fate!"

He truly couldn’t help with the Spirit Cultivation.

With Martial Cultivation, he could at least forcibly cleanse the spirit with Spiritual Power, but Spirit Cultivation involved the sea of consciousness, and he was truly at a loss over it.

"Mm!"

Qin Ke nodded in disappointment, then complained, "For now, I’ll just honestly cultivate the Nine Elements Dao Skill!"

"Slap!"

Chen Xuan slapped him hard on the head.

"You’re still complaining. Is cultivating the Nine Elements Dao Skill so hard for you?"

"Ah... No, no, Master, you’ve misunderstood, disciple was just lamenting, I didn’t mean it that way!"

Qin Ke hurriedly explained.

"Alright, alright! As long as you understand! If you can cultivate the Nine Elements Dao Skill well, you’ll have a foothold not just in the small rMolan Mansion, but in the entire Eastern Continent!"

The cultivation technique deduced by the system is surely the strongest.

Whether in the Human Realm or this Supreme Domain, Chen Xuan was absolutely confident of this.

"I realize my mistake, thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

Qin Ke was not foolish; he immediately understood that his master did it on purpose.

Thinking about the changes in his mindset due to cultivating the Divine Techniques and Spiritual Power over this time was indeed significant.

"As long as you understand, and don’t be so discouraged either; there are treasures in this world that can enhance Spiritual Power, it’s just a matter of chance!"

Back then, he had forcibly leveled up with the white Crystal Stone left behind by the Sea Beast.

But such things are rare and elusive.

It truly depends on fate.

"Mm!"

Qin Ke nodded slightly, composing himself before summarizing the events at the Three Judicial Departments that day with him.

"So Zongzheng cleaned out more than half of the Chief Constables, and most were gold-clothed and white-clothed ones!"

One must admit, the Deputy Director of the Three Judicial Departments is quite a ruthless person.

In order to completely control the Three Judicial Departments, even he didn’t hesitate to clean up the top experts in gold and white clothing.

"Right, so the manpower at the Three Judicial Departments is now insufficient, so yesterday, Lord Zongzheng’s intention was to recruit a batch of people into the Three Judicial Departments!"

Isn’t that obvious!

After cleaning out so many, and most of them being experts, the manpower shortage in rMolan Mansion is evident.

"If Zongzheng is recruiting people, those families will surely get involved again, which means... the result won’t be much different."

Chen Xuan said lightly.

To him, such matters seemed unavoidable.

But Qin Ke shook his head, "Lord Zongzheng didn’t seem concerned about this aspect when discussing this matter yesterday!"

He’s now one of Zongzheng’s trusted aides, so over this long period, he’s gotten a good grasp of his character.

If he dared to take such actions, he must have a method to stop those families from muddling the waters.

"Oh...?"

Chen Xuan was instantly intrigued.

Seeing his reaction, Qin Ke immediately guessed his thoughts and asked, "Does Master also want to give it a try?"

"Make the arrangements!"

Ever since arriving in the Eastern Continent, Chen Xuan has been in the shadows; having the identity of a Chief Constable in the Three Judicial Departments would be convenient for future operations.

With his inherent talent for hiding, he could discard this identity at any time if needed.

"Rest assured, disciple will arrange everything properly!"

Qin Ke promised confidently.

He was naturally also pleased about him joining the Three Judicial Departments.

This way, they could look out for each other.

...

The news that the Three Judicial Departments were recruiting spread instantly throughout rMolan Mansion, and Qin Ke even had people send this news to several nearby mansions.

He explained to Zongzheng that it was to recruit more experts.

After all, in rMolan Mansion, if not all, over ninety percent of the experts belonged to those big families.

Even if they weren’t, there were endless connections.

So to fill such a large gap, the best way was to recruit people from outside rMolan Mansion.

Zongzheng was very pleased with this and praised him for being quick-witted.

Though his strength was a bit lacking.

But Qin Ke’s main reason for doing this was to easily arrange Chen Xuan’s identity.

After all, in rMolan Mansion, there were only so many renowned experts, and suddenly having one appear out of nowhere would be hard to explain!
