As the Shadow approached the Chu Young Master’s room, he saw a handsome young man dressed in brocade clothes going over a bunch of papers. He was so concentrated on his works that he did move his eyes from these papers for 10 minutes straight.
As the Shadow secretly observed this young, he frowned as he realized two things: first, he did not feel any bloodline power from him. Second, and more importantly, this person--who did not have any cultivation or energy inside his body--already opened up his Niwan Palace and has a Sea of Consciousness.
After noticing these flaws, the Shadow decided to be more cautious and observed for another hour before taking action. He turned into an invisible white light and entered Chu Li’s Sea of Consciousness.
Immediately, the Shadow found something wrong; he saw a small white cloud-shaped substance floating inside the Sea of Consciousness. Of course, he knew that this was Chu Li’s soul, but what surprised him was the fact that there was a half-finished altar or shrine inside, and Chu Li’s soul was floating on top of it.
The Shadow observed for a while but did not immediately take action. After recording the information he received, he approached Chu Li’s soul; he wanted to secretly use the Soul Searching Technique to read this guy’s memories.
Unfortunately, when he got closed, he found a strange white light was attached to the latter’s soul, and the light seemed to be connected to some powerful being,
The Shadow guessed that this world had Gods and that Chu Li might be connected to one of them. And if he tries to search his soul, he might alert this God.
After coming to this conclusion, the Shadow decided to use another method. He turned into an insect and attached himself to a grey line that floated above Chu Li’s head; it was his Fate Line.
This was a secret technique that the Shadow was taught that allowed him to read the Fate Line of others, just like Wang Wei. However, the Shadow was not strong enough to read a person’s entire Fate Line without being backlash.
However, this technique called Gu Fate Reading was a downgrade version of Wang Wei’s Fate Reading. It allowed the person to view one specific but very important event of a person’s life
So, after attaching to Chu Li’s Fate Line, the Shadow experienced one of the latter’s memories.
In the memory, Chu Li was participating in a hunt along with many prominent young masters of the city. Everything was going fine, however, one of the prey that was supposed to be hunted during the hunt suddenly went mad and attacked Chu Li.
To be exact, he was dragged away from his guards by the beasts. Chu Li thought that he would die at the hands of that beast, however, fate seemed to smile on him as the beast suddenly died while carrying him.
Although injured, Chu Li survived, albeit only temporarily. So, he dragged his body to a cave he saw near him. However, as soon as he entered the cave, he saw an old man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and a book in front of him.
Chu Li thought that he had intruded on a person’s home, so he quickly apologized. But, it did not take him long to realize that the old man was dead. As such, curiosity got the best of him and he took the book and read it.
The first sentence on the front of the book was: "Whoever gets hold of this inheritance, must swear to the Heavens to spread it, otherwise he or she will not be able to open it."
At first, Chu Li thought that someone was playing some kind of sick joke on him, but after trying to open the book and failing miserably, he realized that he might have encountered something amazing.
So, without hesitation, he followed the procedure on the front of the book and made an Oath to Heaven. Then, the book finally opened.
After reading it with haste, Chu Li learned one of the greatest secrets of this world. The so-called Gods in this world were not powerful beings or noble entities, but mortals that slowly cultivated to have such power.
However, to prevent the rise of other Gods that will compete with them for resources, they erased the existence of cultivation from ordinary people and claimed that only through their blessings or by inheriting Divine Bloodlines people can get access to supernatural abilities.
After settling everything, Chu Li began to review the cultivation techniques that he received so that he could eventually start practicing. fгeewebnovёl.com
