Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 490 Aftermath (Part Two)

Under the shade of a tree, Han Yi reclined on an old-fashioned chair, squinting as he flipped through the classic texts in his hands.

call…....

A gentle breeze blew by, and the pear blossoms swayed in the wind, their delicate pink petals falling like a light pink rain.

The maidservant next to her quickly grabbed a broom and a wooden shovel and swept up the small pieces of green leaves and petals.

Han Yi saw that it was the fifth level of the True Skill Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm.

The fifth level of True Skill is considered to be in the upper-middle range among True Skill Martial Artists, and the strength can support the activation of several secret techniques.

What he was looking at was actually one of the secret techniques that Senior Sister Shen Qiuling had used before, "Secret Technique: Ice Explosion". The principle of the Ice Explosion Secret Technique is not difficult. It is to compress a large amount of cold yin energy, forcibly gather and solidify it into a solid state, and then explode it at the same time, causing massive freezing damage to the enemy.

Even above the Ice Explosion Secret Technique, there are more advanced and sophisticated Ice Pillar and Avalanche Secret Techniques, which can be described as being of the same lineage and have a long history, making them the first choice for most disciples of the Nine-Bend Academy.

This is also the source of the long-standing and profound heritage of Jiuquyuan.

A long history and a large number of practitioners mean stability, less chance of making mistakes, and less likelihood of going astray, which also means the training of a large number of disciples.

However, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The cultivation is stable and has a long history, which also means it is conventional and well-regulated. Many people have witnessed the various secret techniques of the Nine-Bend Academy.

As more people have witnessed it, the external characteristics and weaknesses of the secret technique will naturally be studied by adversaries, and the specific countermeasures and solutions will also be easily known.

In other words, if the principles behind a secret technique are revealed, it loses the meaning of the word "secret."

Furthermore, Han Yi had witnessed the power and effects of the Ice Explosion Technique firsthand, and compared to his own understanding…

The destructive effect of this secret technique can only be described as mediocre.

In his mind, secret techniques and skills are the key to turning the tide of battle, so consumption restrictions must be put aside for the time being.

Most importantly, it is about surprise and overwhelming power.

Just like his self-created secret technique, a pure yang state, he rarely showed it to people, but every time he used it, it played a crucial role.

In fact, most of the time, he doesn't even need to use his strongest pure yang form to quickly end the battle.

The strongest form of pure yang is when Han Yi completely condenses his qi and blood to the limit, turning red with gold, and a layer of faint golden light naturally appears on his body, forming a Vajra-like protective state.

Han Yi now divides the degree of damage to the body caused by the pure Yang state and the time he can maintain it into three stages.

The first stage, which is actually the initial activation of the pure yang state, can only bring a small increase in speed, strength and defense, similar to the feeling of the seventh level of true skill protecting the body.

This stage, which Han Yi calls the Pure Yang State of Li or the Pure Yang State of Qian, means that Qian receives Jia and Ren, and the Jing Gate is in a neutral position. It is a temporary activation of the Pure Yang State, which can be maintained for a long time without putting too much burden on the body.

In this state, his body only showed a slight increase in height, with no other abnormalities.

Therefore, Han Yi could also use it as a regular means of dealing with the enemy.

After all, many secret techniques or the activation of force can cause abnormal physical manifestations such as physical deformities and enlarged joints, which is not surprising.

The second stage of the Pure Yang state involves rapid growth of his body, with his arms, thighs, and hands growing to an incomprehensible size, like a small giant. This is a situation that cannot be explained by simple secret techniques.

At this time, his body surface will show a terrifying blackish-red change, which is the result of a large amount of qi and blood gathering, condensing and circulating, and spontaneously burning.

In this state, it is not appropriate for Han Yi to reveal himself in front of others.

He used this state when he fought Chen Lingmo, and he only dared to use it because it was late at night and no one was watching.

As for the third stage of the Pure Yang state, it represents his strongest performance to date.

This is also a theoretical stage of change, and even now, he still hasn't fully mastered it. It's a state he only dares to barely enter when he has free time during cultivation and his energy and spirit are at their peak.

The reason is simple: the third stage of the pure Yang state places an immense burden on the body. As a result, he can only maintain it for a short period of time before his Qi and blood become depleted, leaving him feeling weak and powerless, and his strength is completely exhausted.

Moreover, in this state, his mind was filled with countless chaotic and murderous thoughts, making it impossible for him to accurately control his body and use many ingenious moves.

In addition, the changes on his body surface during the third stage are too obvious, so he has never shown the pure yang state of the third stage in public.

But now…

Han Yi felt that he needed to master the third stage of the Pure Yang state, the Vajra Body Protection state, as soon as possible...

Several days had passed since he returned from Huayang City that night. Upon his immediate return, he quickly made numerous targeted arrangements to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

As time went by, everything remained calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Aside from the fact that Lotus Hall was in chaos for half a day due to the absence of Luo Meiwei as its host, Han Yi personally stepped in to resolve the situation, allowing it to operate with minimal disruption.

However, without May Lo as a capable assistant, many things have become less efficient.

But apart from this recent turmoil, nothing else has happened.

This is also why Han Yi is now puzzled: how could someone have the power to orchestrate such a massive incident, be connected to the Green-Clad Alliance, and be involved in smuggling contraband...?

If discovered, this could be a major incident that would implicate nine generations of relatives and bring down a large number of people.

Now, however, there is no wind or waves, everything is calm and proceeding as usual...

However, the more this happened, the more Han Yi took it seriously; this was simply the calm before the storm.

Only by becoming stronger as quickly as possible can we seize crucial opportunities.

Just as Han Yi was lost in thought, Xiao Yan suddenly came to deliver a message, saying that someone was requesting an audience.

"What's meant to come will eventually come..." Han Yi stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked on with a deep gaze.

......

......

The Inspector's Office, Main Hall.

"Inspector Han, I've heard so much about you."

A maid led the way quietly, followed by a middle-aged man in a gray robe, who exchanged polite words.

Han Yi smiled and sat down next to the newcomer, while a maidservant quickly served tea.
