Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Inside the lobby of Han Kexin's villa.

Han Kexin sat on the sofa with a furrowed brow; it was clear that the test results were unsatisfactory.

"How did it go?" Qin Xiaochuan asked her softly.

"Your Heavenly Soul Power and Heavenly Spirit Power are very weak," Han Kexin said coldly.

"How weak?" He chuckled dryly, honestly feeling embarrassed to be called weak by a beautiful woman.

"He's almost worse than an ordinary person." Han Kexin said bluntly, showing no regard for his feelings, even though Qin Xiaochuan was still considered her king.

"Didn't you say that the Blood Witch King's soul power was very strong?" Qin Xiaochuan asked, puzzled.

"I'm also confused about this; this shouldn't have happened." Her voice was full of doubt, indicating that this was an unexpected accident.

Then Qin Xiaochuan considered a possibility: "Could it be that you've got the wrong person? I'm not the Blood Witch King?"

"Impossible!" Han Kexin decisively rejected the possibility. Seeing his disbelieving look, she added, "Can you use the Witchcraft Ring now?"

"I..." Qin Xiaochuan hesitated whether to tell her the truth, but finally answered honestly, "I think so."

But he immediately regretted it after he finished speaking, because his voice was too hesitant, and even a fool could tell that he was hiding something, let alone Han Kexin.

Unexpectedly, Han Kexin didn't react much to his attitude. Instead, she glanced at him indifferently and said, "You don't need to tell me the secrets of the Witch Ring. This is originally the authority of the Blood Witch King alone. Not just me, and you don't need to tell anyone else in the future."

Her voice was soft, somewhat like comforting words, yet also like admonition. Although it was still a little cold, it gave Qin Xiaochuan a sense of trustworthiness.

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly felt ashamed. The other party was so honest with him, yet he was always on guard against her. He simply didn't have the composure a man should have.

So he smiled and said to her, "Okay, I will definitely keep your words in mind. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do. I will never have any ulterior motives. Hehe, how about that?" He looked at her with a grin.

To his surprise, Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him after hearing his words, and then coldly said, "Do you have any other choice?"

Qin Xiaochuan felt as if he had been struck on the head. He clearly did not fully understand the aloofness of the woman in front of him. Just one short sentence extinguished all his enthusiasm. That was the flame of friendship! Could people still get along?

Han Kexin could probably tell he was disappointed, so she coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere before saying to him, "Since you can use the Witch Ring, it proves that you are undoubtedly the reincarnation of the Blood Witch King, because only the Blood Witch King's soul power can use the Witch Ring, and there are no problems with your earth soul and human soul."

"Oh," he said dejectedly, "Then what exactly is wrong with my soul power?"

Han Kexin frowned and said, "I think there's a reason that can explain this."

"What?" he asked quickly.

"It's possible that when the previous Blood Witch King was reincarnated, his celestial soul was damaged, which is why your celestial soul power is so weak in this life."

"Damaged Heavenly Soul?" He didn't understand the meaning of that sentence at all. Seeing that she was still deep in thought, he asked, "Are you sure?"

"That must be it." Han Kexin nodded, then continued, "Otherwise, with the Blood Witch King's soul power, you would never have only gotten into the worst major at Mingde University (Qin Xiaochuan blushed), and you wouldn't have..."

Han Kexin suddenly stopped talking. He looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Don't know what?"

"It's nothing." Her voice suddenly turned cold.

"Don't stop halfway through your sentence, okay? It's very uncomfortable," Qin Xiaochuan said, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him, then turned her head to the side and said, "I mean, your fainting last time might be related to damage to your Heavenly Soul." Han Kexin's face was icy cold as she said this, indicating that she was still bothered by what happened last time.

Qin Xiaochuan was speechless, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat awkward.

He couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "If that's the case, what should we do now? My spiritual power is only level 1, so I'm afraid I can't choose to study the spiritual studies department."

"The spiritual power issue isn't difficult to resolve, but the damage to the Heavenly Soul is troublesome, unless... we can find the Seven Star Lamp," Han Kexin pondered.

"Seven Star Lamp? That name sounds familiar." He frowned, wondering where he had heard that name before.

"That's right, there is a record of the Seven Star Lamp in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'," Han Kexin said coldly.

"That's right, I thought I'd heard that somewhere before." Qin Xiaochuan's eyes lit up. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, before Zhuge Liang died at Wuzhang Plains, he knew that his days were numbered. So he lit the Seven Star Lamp in his military tent to prolong his life. As long as the lamp did not go out for seven consecutive days, Zhuge Liang would gain a cycle, which is 12 years of life.

However, things didn't go as planned. Just when he was about to achieve great success, Wei Yan suddenly rushed into the tent and accidentally knocked over his life lamp, causing all his efforts to be in vain. Zhuge Liang ultimately lost his life at Wuzhang Plain. This episode has caused countless people to grieve and regret.

But isn't the Seven Star Lamp just something from a novel? Could it really exist?

He told Han Kexin about his question, and Han Kexin said, "That's right. Although Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just a novel, some things are adapted from real events, and the story of the Seven Star Lamp is one of them."

Han Kexin paused before continuing, "Zhuge Liang's method of using the Seven Star Lamp to prolong his life originated from ancient witchcraft. The reason why our Blood Witch Clan is called Blood Witch is because we evolved from the ancient Witch Clan, so we know the most about the Seven Star Lamp."

"But the Seven Star Lamp in the novel is clearly used to prolong life, isn't it?" he said, puzzled.

"This is where the novel was adapted. The real Seven Star Lamp is used by the Witch Clan to summon and repair souls. In fact, it's not impossible to say that the Seven Star Lamp can prolong life."

"Really?" Hearing her say that, Qin Xiaochuan immediately became curious and asked, "Then how does it extend its life?"

Han Kexin said, "The reason why ordinary people experience birth, aging, sickness and death is caused by the soul. When a person is born, their soul power is the strongest, but their spirit power is the weakest. As a person grows, their soul power will be gradually consumed, while their spirit power will gradually increase."

Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "That's why people grow very fast in their childhood, because their soul power is strongest during that period. After all, soul power is not only one of the factors that generate spiritual power and physical strength, but also a factor that determines the growth rate of courage."

"That's right," Han Kexin said. "Because soul power is constantly being consumed, a person's courage will reach a peak in middle age. After that, courage will neither decline nor increase, but because of the decline in soul power, a person's physical strength and spiritual power will continue to decline. When soul power declines to a limit, that is when a person's life ends."

Qin Xiaochuan listened to her story with great interest. Her words gave him a new understanding of life, so he asked her curiously, "Then how does the Seven Star Lamp prolong life?"

"You really are stupid." Hearing his question, Han Kexin gave him a disdainful look, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Qin Xiaochuan felt his face burning slightly; being spoken to like that by a beautiful woman to his face was truly embarrassing.

However, even though Han Kexin said that, she still explained to him why the Seven Star Lamp could prolong life. Actually, you can figure it out if you think about it. The function of the Seven Star Lamp is to repair the soul. If a person's weakened soul power can be repaired, then naturally life can be extended.
