Chapter 690: Chapter 654: The Seventh Princess Enters the Residence
Hong’er brought the tea.
Lin Xiaosu gazed at her eyes, which hadn’t completely stopped darting around, and posed a soul-searching question: "Hong’er, tell me honestly, am I more handsome than Li Chengnian?"
Hong’er bowed: "Young Master’s true appearance, graceful and handsome, leading all of Beijing, the entire world..."
"Ahem, ahem, keep it in check, keep it in check! Don’t make such sweeping statements..."
Hong’er burst into laughter.
The atmosphere relaxed.
Nightfall gradually descended.
After having dinner, Lin Xiaosu returned to his bedroom.
Once the door was shut, he sat by the window.
Going to Jiangnan was in two days.
He planned to use this time for some preparations.
The most crucial preparation was information gathering.
Using the Subdivine Secret Technique, he read Li Chengnian’s memories.
With the Transformation Technique, he infiltrated the Heart Pavilion’s library, sweeping away the most important batch of information.
He already knew the general situation of the major sects in Jiangnan.
And yesterday, he had an unexpected surprise: he obtained Xuan Kong’s Primordial Spirit.
Xuan Kong was an elder of the Mental Path!
Note, it’s not the Heart Pavilion, but the Mental Path!
What is the Mental Path?
One Abyss, Three Sects, Six Paths, Nine Gates.
The Mental Path is one of the Nine Gates.
In the Five Domains and Three Ruins, the number of sects reached tens of thousands, with the nineteen sects at the pinnacle of power.
The knowledge recorded within the elder’s Primordial Spirit, how terrifying is that?
Though much of the memory was obliterated during the refinement process, the remaining fragments were still a substantial gain for Lin Xiaosu.
This information settled into his Sea of Consciousness, melding with the enhanced version of the "Three-character Bone Book" Human Character Scroll, in categorizing all this data, as if a database appeared out of thin air in his mind, ready to add, integrate, and retrieve data at any time.
This was the biggest harvest brought by refining the Primordial Spirit.
There was also another gain, obtained during the refinement of Xuan Kong’s last fragment of Primordial Spirit.
As soon as this fragment was refined,
the two Primordial Spirits within Lin Xiaosu’s body suddenly stood up and looked at each other.
These two Primordial Spirits, stripped of their former vague features, presented clear, clean humanoid forms.
Every part of them reflected Lin Xiaosu’s essence.
What does this imply?
It implies that his Primordial Spirit truly belongs to him now.
Lin Xiaosu was full of emotions.
All the leaders of Kun Cang, despite their lifelong efforts, never managed to refine a Primordial Spirit. Even Hua Miaoyi, who was hailed as an immortal upon entering Kun Cang, only captured a trace of Primordial Spirit, whereas his Primordial Spirit was fully formed.
What kind of aid does having a formed Primordial Spirit offer him?
If he were to break through into the Enlightenment Realm now, he would directly skip Body Enlightenment and step right into the Enlightenment of God!
Because transitioning from Body Enlightenment to Enlightenment of God is marked by the formation of the Primordial Spirit.
Yet he, not having entered the Enlightenment Realm, already has a fully formed Primordial Spirit!
What do they call this on the Cultivation Path?
Tao Realm ahead!
Refining the Primordial Spirit yielded such a harvest.
Then what about the secondary deity?
The secondary deity can also be refined this way; for instance, when he refined the secondary deity of the Nine Headed Snake’s lord, his Sub-God Skill had made rapid progress.
Being in this world, should he employ this method as well?
After all, this world is different from that one, people with Subdivine Skill are not too many, and the Heart Pavilion, which possesses the Sub-God Skill, just happens to be his nemesis.
Destroying them, refining their secondary deities, would cause a huge surge in his own Sub-God.
Lin Xiaosu imagined this grand concept, touching his chin, his eyes shimmering with a mysterious light, questioning himself: Is my method of devouring others’ Primordial Spirits and secondary deities somewhat off track?
Never mind, the world is about to end, why should I worry about this?
Didn’t a philosopher named "Ming Yueye" once say?
The demon is not in the technique, but in the heart!
Very well, feeling refreshed, he went to sleep, two days later, this handsome gentleman would march to Jiangnan, poised to swallow heaven, earth, and gods...
Lin Xiaosu set the teacup down and got into bed.
The bed was huge, a relic of the feudal era, designed for armfuls.
Yet, whom to embrace?
The Saintess Qian Ling had long fled, and Qing Ying had just been released.
Forget it, I’ll focus on the grand scheme, I am the paragon of virtue, pursuing great achievements without painting fanciful blueprints, I’ll just hug my pillow...
Just then, a gentle knock on the door: "Young Master!"
It was Hong’er’s voice, soft and sticky-sweet.
What could a midnight knock mean?
I am warning you from within; while I ponder the dullness of the night, don’t provoke me!
"What is it?"
"Young Master, a woman requests to see you. She claims to be an old acquaintance of yours."
"Oh? Invite her in!" Lin Xiaosu jumped up.
His heart, at this moment, was beating twice as fast as usual.
An old acquaintance, a woman!
Who could it be?
Chang Ye?
Feng Ji?
Could the Saintess Qian Ling have returned?
Or perhaps someone from the other side?
For example, Dawa? Hu Ya? Or Blue Demon?
Every possibility he thought of excited him...
However, when he actually saw this woman, his eyes widened.
All his guesses were wrong.
It was her!
Unexpectedly it was her!
On that day in Qingqiu, as he proposed, just reporting his name, a woman bubbling with spiritual energy ignored the basic courtesies of formal marriage proposals, running up to him with shining eyes, and spoke half a sentence: "Brother Su, I..."
She was the Qingqiu Seventh Princess!
Clearly, she was a woman who had set her sights on him!
Because afterward, on Fenghua Road, she had even spoken to him, pointing out the array formations.
These were the only two sentences she ever said to him.
Neither was completed.
Before she could finish the first sentence, someone dragged her away.
Midway through the second, when speaking of arrays, the Great Elder cut off her transmission.
