"A flaw?" Yun Lintian asked in doubt. Although his comprehension of the Shadow Step had yet to reach the highest level, it should be somewhere up there. Where did the flaw come from?
"The flaw lies in your inexperience about the top practitioners." Tian Yuhan explained. "Any Divine Sovereigns could use their Divine Sense as a giant net to cover the entire space. They will know it immediately if there's a slight energy fluctuation."
She looked at him and said calmly. "The Shadow Step can indeed allow you to come and go without a trace, and a low-level practitioner won't be able to catch up. However, I don't need to track you down along the way because I know you're going to show up somewhere. Of course, unless you can get out of my Divine Sense's range in one fell swoop, I won't be able to find you."
"Without an element of surprise, it is difficult for you to do something against a top practitioner. Especially to those Divine Emperors and above."
Yun Lintian immediately understood where the flaw was. In the past, no one had ever encountered the Shadow Step before, and they could hardly catch him. But Tian Yuhan was different, she fully understood the nature of the Shadow Step, and her perception was extremely sharp. It would be strange if she couldn't follow him in a split second after he appeared.
"Heavenhold's Broken Mirage has the strength to move a practitioner instantly and split multiple afterimages. Moreover, the aura discharged by these afterimages is almost exactly the same as the practitioner's, right until the moment they dissipate, thus foiling the enemy's attempts at tracking them down and confusing them. This is the difference between the two." Tian Yuhan said calmly.
Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. The Heavenhold's Broken Mirage was more highly efficient to use in a head-on battle. It could confuse an opponent's mind and also give the user enough time to consider where to strike.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Step was indeed faster, but it was more suitable for ending an opponent in a single strike. After all, it was originally designed for an assassination.
"Of course. The Heavenhold's Broken Mirage is not without a flaw. Once you face an opponent who can directly overwhelm you with their strength, all the mirages you create will be pretty much useless." Tian Yuhan spoke.
"I understand it now." Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. He certainly had many top movement techniques in his hand, but it was no harm learning this Heavenhold's Broken Mirage. Anyway, his identity as her disciple was there. He needed something to show the sect's characteristics.
Tian Yuhan extended both hands, touching Yun Lintian's glabella once with one left finger and his three main profound entrances around his chest with three right fingers, "I will teach you the art's fundamental stage and the divine energy circulation method to you now. Concentrate your mind."
Yun Lintian nodded and closed his eyes.
Four blue dots appeared simultaneously as the art's fundamental stage was instantly imprinted in Yun Lintian's soul and mind. At the same time, his own divine energy began circulating swiftly in a complicated pattern under the guidance of Tian Yuhan's divine energy.
A while later, Tian Yuhan moved her hands away from Yun Lintian, and the latter also opened his eyes.
"Remember?" Tian Yuhan asked.
"Let me try." Yun Lintian didn't say anything much and got into action directly.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and began to circulate his divine energy.
Swoosh!
·?θm Instantly, Yun Lintian moved more than a hundred meters while leaving five afterimages behind. At the same time, all five afterimages possessed a similar aura to Yun Lintian's. It almost perfectly replicated him.
"…!" Tian Yuhan was shocked inwardly. This was clearly his first try, but Yun Lintian had almost perfectly executed it.
Even the most basic movement of Heavenhold's Broken Mirage required the practitioner to use thirty-seven profound entrances at once. Moreover, every profound entrance was required to follow differing divine energy circulation patterns and strengths.
The requirements were so strict that even the slightest misstep in the strength or direction of the divine energy in a certain profound entrance would cause the practitioner's divine energy to go out of control. If the error was serious, it might even hurt the practitioner's profound veins.
And this was just the control of the profound entrances. The circulation of divine energy in the practitioner's veins wasn't even brought into question yet.
She had guided the circulation of Yun Lintian's profound energy only once, yet he could master it right away… What kind of monstrous comprehension was this?
In silence, Tian Yuhan hid her astonishment in the deepest part of her eyes. Her assessment and recognition of Yun Lintian's abilities that were already off the chart had changed dramatically again.
Originally, Tian Yuhan didn't want to dwell on Yun Lintian's background much, but now she couldn't stop wondering about it.
Was he an illegitimate son of two God Emperors? Because only such parents could give birth to a monstrously talented descendant like this.
At this moment, Yun Lintian halted his track and shook his head slightly. "That's not right."
Immediately, he tried again and again. Each time he executed the movement technique, it gradually became closer to a perfect state.
Half an hour later, Yun Lintian had successfully produced an afterimage with a perfect replica of himself. Whether it was aura or appearance, everything was exactly the same as Yun Lintian's.
Yun Lintian stopped moving and asked. "How is it?"
Tian Yuhan took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "Thirty minutes. It took you only thirty minutes to comprehend it… You are definitely the first in history… Shen Yan was right. No one could be your master."
Yun Lintian didn't say anything about this. He had always been like this since the Beyond Heaven King's power awakened. He could learn every profound art quickly, regardless of its rank. Although some weren't at the perfect level, he had already grasped more than eighty percent of them, which was enough to be considered a mastery level.
Tian Yuhan said further. "Since that's the case, I will teach you more of our sect's profound arts."
"Alright." Yun Lintian nodded in response.
