Chapter 229: Chapter 3 Mentorship

In the study, the Long-browed Taoist suppressed his excitement.

"Then, there is one last matter. Confirm if Lin Yuan’s spirit has been possessed by an evil cultivator."

The Long-browed Taoist mused briefly, then took the opportunity to release his own ghostly spirit.

In an instant, the True Yuan within the Long-browed Taoist’s body surged forth, accompanied by an extremely intense aura.

Gradually, in the Long-browed Taoist’s body, the Qi of Spiritual Origin continued to emerge, gathering behind him. Unlike the souls of ordinary Martial Artists at the Aperture Pulse level, the spirit that he released seemed to carry some divine intent.

This divine intent grew stronger, and Lin Yuan felt as if a pair of eyes were fixed on him like a hawk eyeing its prey, exuding an immense intimidation.

"Just the fluctuation of Senior’s spirit has already affected the Cloud Concealing Array I constructed." Lin Yuan was deeply shocked by the power exhibited by the Long-browed Taoist.

The clouds he constructed around him were trembling and swaying.

Moreover, Lin Yuan felt that the strength of the other’s spirit seemed as if it could disperse his concentrated martial soul with just a breath.

Meanwhile, the consumption of vitality in his body increased several times. However, this level of consumption he could still bear, but in the next moment, the other’s displayed spirit caused his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

"What is this?" Lin Yuan’s pupils suddenly contracted, sensing that his master’s spirit was no longer formless and intangible like his.

It was a vivid and lifelike creature.

"Yes, a living being!" Lin Yuan felt his throat suddenly tighten, as if the other’s spirit were a living entity.

It was a fire-bathed eagle, radiating infinite fiery light. Just a slight unfurling of its wings emitted a tremendous pressure, like the imposing momentum of a mountain coming towards him. Droplets of firelight continuously fell and then extinguished in the void.

As the flames descended, one could clearly feel the space twisting under the heat of the flames, seemingly with streaks of black fissures appearing.

"The Spiritual Origin, how terrifying it is!" Lin Yuan was deeply shocked by the living creature birthed by the Long-browed Taoist and was unable to regain composure for a long while.

"Lin Yuan." At this moment, the spirit of the Long-browed Taoist spoke, the voice resonating in the study like an ethereal vast bell striking directly at his soul.

"Senior, is this the spirit?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively.

"Exactly, the next realm after the Aperture Pulse is the Spiritual Origin Realm. By constructing your spirit with your soul, you can step into the Condensed Origin Realm." The Long-browed Taoist did not explain further, the fiery divine bird flapping its wings in the air, gliding towards Lin Yuan’s soul.

The divine bird’s eyes emitted endless pressure, scanning Lin Yuan’s brow.

Lin Yuan only felt a vast Qi-Blood instantly break through his own cloud formation. Fortunately, the other could control his True Yuan without destroying Lin Yuan’s ghostly spirit. Otherwise, Lin Yuan felt he definitely couldn’t withstand even a single attack.

This feeling was particularly evident compared to the attacks from the Ghost Path practitioners, showing a qualitative difference.

The cloud formation surrounding Lin Yuan instantly evaporated from the aura emitted by the other.

"Don’t panic. I’m just checking the state of your spirit. After all, you’re cultivating a technique you derived yourself, and I’m worried about any accidents," the Long-browed Taoist gently comforted. A rich aura instantly enveloped Lin Yuan, allowing him to feel a trace of warmth.

However, the Long-browed Taoist did not inform Lin Yuan of his true intent, which was to check whether Lin Yuan had been possessed.

About three breaths later.

Lin Yuan felt a wave of heat endlessly washing over his soul. Lin Yuan carefully experienced it; originally, some evil thoughts lingered in the depths of his soul, eroding it, an inevitable cause and effect from killing.

But the Long-browed Taoist used his Spiritual Origin power to wash over his soul, making it purer and the absorption of the Great Sun true meaning smoother.

Thus, the heat wave repeatedly washed over Lin Yuan’s soul.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but close his eyes, immersing himself in it.

"Senior is teaching me how to cleanse the impurities in my soul," Lin Yuan’s heart suddenly stirred, guiding his vitality to circulate along the path pointed out by the elder continuously.

Continuously sketching lines in his soul, amazingly, they had a smooth flowing intent.

But Lin Yuan hadn’t fully mastered it because he knew his aptitude was not that outstanding. In some aspects, he could be called dull. However, he knew that as long as he had the elder’s guidance, he could fully master it later by relying on the Nine Chapters.

There was no immediate pressure to fully master this technique.

But the Long-browed Taoist didn’t give up, guiding Lin Yuan repeatedly to wash away the impurities in his soul.

Half a stick of incense later.

The impurities in Lin Yuan’s soul were completely cleansed.

The Long-browed Taoist withdrew his spirit, showing a puzzled expression: "He could deduce the Cloud Hidden Sky Light Map on his own, so why has he been learning this simple operational method for so long and still hasn’t mastered it?"

What he had just taught Lin Yuan was just a simple application of the Great Sun true meaning. Although simple, its effect was infinite. But why has Lin Yuan not mastered it despite learning with him for so long?

None of the five disciples under him learned as slowly as Lin Yuan!

Could he have misjudged?

The Long-browed Taoist watched Lin Yuan still practicing with eyes closed, and began to wonder internally.

But the fact that Lin Yuan mastered the Cloud Hidden Sky Light Map was indeed true.

Could grasp a profound Cultivation Technique independently but not learn a simple method unless taught? How strange?

"Is it my teaching method that’s incorrect?" The Long-browed Taoist couldn’t help but start questioning himself at this point.

"Forget it, comprehending the method on his own. Maybe my expectations were too high. Not everyone can be like my first disciple." The Long-browed Taoist’s strong expectation gradually diminished, no longer holding such high expectations for Lin Yuan.

After all, from the recent trial, it was already evident that Lin Yuan’s comprehension was not as terrifying as Zhan Ting and Cao Qin described.

"Although lacking in comprehension, just in terms of foundational depth, he’s perhaps only slightly lower than my first disciple. Taking him under my wing wouldn’t taint the sect’s reputation." After weighing options for a moment, the Long-browed Taoist decided to accept Lin Yuan.

Without knowing how much time had passed, the fiery aura withdrew. Lin Yuan had completely mastered the operational method within, yet he still continued circulating it.

Finally, after completing the last segment of the method internally, he discreetly went to the Nine Chapters space to check, only relaxing fully after seeing that the Nine Chapters had recorded it.

Upon leaving the Nine Chapters space, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

He saw the Long-browed Taoist smilingly looking at him.

Lin Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands: "The technique taught by Senior, Lin Yuan will never forget."

Hearing this, the Long-browed Taoist slightly frowned: "Still calling me Senior?"

Lin Yuan paused, then immediately retreated three steps, knelt formally, and kowtowed three times: "I greet Master."

"Good." The Long-browed Taoist nodded slightly: "Disciple, rise."

Lin Yuan’s talent wasn’t as expected, especially in terms of comprehension, he wasn’t very satisfied. But Lin Yuan’s strength was already at the level of an Inner Sect Disciple, and his foundation was deep. In the future, once entering the Aperture Pulse, it is very likely he might spend his entire life at this stage.

Because the Aperture Pulse stage, another critical checkpoint, is comprehension.

Poor comprehension, Lin Yuan is destined not to go far.

Thinking of the comprehension of the Cloud Hidden Sky Light Map, the Long-browed Taoist couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Perhaps Lin Yuan stumbled upon it by accident.

Setting the status, the Long-browed Taoist hesitated in his heart. After manipulating the long scroll in his hand, he finally handed it over: "Since you have learned the first divine chart of the Heaven Illumination Cloud Rising Technique. Here is the original divine chart, created by me for you personally. Take it home and comprehend it carefully."

"If you want to acquire the second divine chart, you must, according to academy regulations, submit corresponding points according to contributions, to observe it."

"Disciple thanks Master." Lin Yuan held the divine chart with both hands and expressed his thanks again.

Once Lin Yuan accepted the divine chart, the Long-browed Taoist spoke again: "Now that your martial path has stepped into the Aperture Pulse stage, I shall not speak further."

"To break through the Aperture Pulse stage, do you know what is the most critical checkpoint?"
