Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 546 Change of the World (Part 5)

No one can guarantee that someone isn't watching him all the time.

There can be absolutely no flaws regarding the existence of the panel.

Only after doing all this did Han Yi have the peace of mind to continue handling the aftermath.

This breakthrough to the seventh level of true skill used up most of his yin energy.

Fortunately, the rhombus-shaped crystal he obtained from the merchant guild could sustain him for a while longer.

At this rate, it's estimated that a considerable amount of Yin energy can be accumulated. This energy can be used to enhance the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm technique or the Heaven-Mending Technique.

What specific improvements are needed depends on the circumstances. The current concern is the cultivation beyond the seventh level of true skill.

The eighth and ninth levels of true skill are preparations for breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

These two layers can actually be considered as one stage.

According to Zhong Yunxiu and Zhong Han's lectures, as well as the statements in classical texts.

This stage is known as the inscription stage.

Of course, the specific details were only briefly mentioned during Zhong Yunxiu's lectures.

Han Yi didn't ask too many questions, after all, at that time he was only at the fifth level of true skill, and asking such questions would easily be misunderstood as being unrealistic.

As for some classical texts, they only provide a superficial explanation of this stage.

It seems that only martial artists with profound internal strength and those who have undergone body inscription can become grandmasters. Although it looks simple, Han Yi knows in his heart that it is actually extremely complex and difficult.

Absolutely not. Just like an ordinary person, you can't solve the problem by getting a few tattoos on your skin.

He still needs to find out the specific facts from his master, Zhong Yunxiu.

rumble…...!

As Han Yi was pondering, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared, followed by a deafening thunderclap that sounded like a drumbeat.

Han Yi got up and opened the window to take a look.

The sky was overcast, covered with dark clouds, and a flash of blue-purple lightning disappeared in an instant.

The weather was as unpredictable as a child's face, changing in an instant. Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and blue, but now there was thunder and lightning, and a torrential downpour began.

crackling sounds...

The rain poured down, and large raindrops pierced through layers of clouds, pounding against the green tile roof with a crisp, tinkling sound.

"It seems things are about to change..."

Han Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.

Rainwater poured into the room through the windows.

However, all the rainwater, upon approaching within three steps of Han Yi, seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, slowly falling and then evaporating and disappearing.

The first rain after the start of autumn brought relief from the heat.

This also foreshadows the arrival of severe cold.

The world is about to change.

……………

……………

"The world is about to change..."

Zhong Yunxiu sighed deeply, "Hanhan, you shouldn't have come back at this time."

Inside the small hut, a lotus-shaped candlestick burned slowly in the center, emitting a soft yellow light. Every now and then, the lamp oil burned onto impurities, causing a loud popping sound.

"..."

Zhong Han remained silent and did not speak.

The two knelt facing each other, the air thick with silence.

“Right now is the time when Fang He is going crazy and biting people. If you come back now, you might provoke him and he might do something desperate.”

Seeing that Zhong Han did not speak, Zhong Yunxiu continued.

"Fang He has been acting extremely erratically lately because of Fang Shouming's disappearance. He is a suspicious person by nature. Seeing you return and thinking about Fang Shouming will probably cause some trouble."

“But…” Zhong Han said softly, “If I don’t show up and don’t come back, won’t he suspect me?” “That way, at least…” Zhong Yunxiu explained.

“You can hide for a while, but you can’t hide forever. Hiding will only arouse more suspicion.” Zhong Han interrupted, “Besides, even if I don’t show up, can’t Fang He send someone to cause trouble?”

It's better to be open and honest. Fang Shouming's affairs have nothing to do with us, and that's it. We're upright and honest; no matter how much Fang investigates, it won't trace back to us.

Her words were firm and resolute, leaving Zhong Yunxiu speechless for a moment.

After a moment, Zhong Yunxiu spoke slowly, with some relief in her voice.

"Sigh, okay, I can't argue with you. You've grown up... My main concern is that if other departments frame us, our situation will be dire..."

"Speaking of which, I have some good news to tell Mother," Zhong Han smiled slightly. "I've already inscribed 30% of my bone patterns, and soon I'll completely break through to the eighth level of True Skill, reaching the ninth level." "If anyone dares to cause trouble, then let them come!"

Her last sentence was chilling in tone, enough to send shivers down one's spine.

"Hanhan, is this true?" Upon hearing this, Zhong Yunxiu was overjoyed and quickly grasped Zhong Han's hand, channeling her energy to probe.

A moment later, Zhong Yunxiu released Zhong Han's hand, her eyes filled with joy.

"Hanhan, I never expected that you could condense bone patterns faster than I did when I was young. It's truly a blessing from heaven!"

It is highly likely that the seven courtyards of Jingtian Manor will be split and become independent because of Fang He's matter.

If they were to truly become independent, Jiuquyuan, whose strength is among the weakest, would undoubtedly become the most coveted piece of meat among the many wolves vying for power.

Without sufficient strength to safeguard its assets, Jiuquyuan's business will only face being swallowed up. Even then, whether Jiuquyuan's legacy can be preserved is another matter entirely.

Therefore, if Zhong Han, a master of inscription and a half-step grandmaster, were to appear at this moment, the situation would be very different.

At the very least, the traditions of Jiuquyuan can still be preserved.

“However, Mother…” Zhong Han still seemed somewhat reluctant, “Will our Jingtian Manor really come to that…”

“Nobody wants things to turn out this way…” Zhong Yunxiu sighed, “But Zhao Ziyang doesn’t manage things, Fang He manages too much, and the other heads of the academy all have their own agendas.”

Without a highly respected and universally recognized leader, there will only be one outcome…

She didn't finish her sentence, but both of them understood what she meant.

The two sat there in silence for a while.

After a long silence, Zhong Han continued, "So it seems I've come back at just the right time, during a time of great turmoil, which is perfect for helping Mother." "Alright, you're right. Since you're back, don't go back." Zhong Yunxiu nodded. "These next few days, take stock of my Nine-Bend Courtyard's assets to prevent any unforeseen events and facilitate our evacuation."

"it is good."

Zhong Han nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "I heard that a few days ago Fang He bullied Junior Brother Han Yi and caused him trouble. Is that true?"

"Yes, that's true, but..." Zhong Yunxiu was just about to explain.

Thump thump thump…!

Suddenly, the sound of a personal maid's hurried footsteps and knocking came from outside the door.

"Chief, urgent report! It's a top-level red alert!"

boom!

The door was suddenly flung open, and a gale-force wind mixed with torrential rain rushed in.
