Chapter 2, Celestial Aura (Part 1)

Lin Yiming was completely astonished

This ethereal essence is contained within a jade bottle, and typically only the prodigies of the sect are permitted to behold it.

Lin Yiming sat behind his appraisal desk, casually picking up an apple with one hand while gently slicing it with a peculiar blade dagger in the other hand

Lin Yiming's heart suddenly trembled. When he was in the sect, he was a key focus of attention as a talented individual. Due to his inability to channel energy, the sect even had an elder personally intervene to infuse innate spiritual energy into his body to assist him in energy channeling

The Spirit Phase cannot be considered a true martial artist. To become a genuine martial artist, one must draw external spiritual energy into the body, continuously circulate it, and transform one's own constitution. At the same time, during combat, one must be able to merge the external spiritual energy with the internal spiritual energy to engage in battle. Only then can one be regarded as such a martial artist

Spirit of the Immortals

At that time, he was also a genius within the sect and had been brought into a secret chamber containing a jade bottle

There is a spiritual aura in this atmosphere

These are merely the affected breaths, and he still remembers the feeling when he first inhaled this kind of air. That sensation is akin to the feeling of being completely exhausted after a day of labor, not wanting to move, and then soaking in a hot spring, a comfort that makes one involuntarily sigh softly.

In this secret chamber, due to the long-term placement of jade vases, the entire atmosphere of the chamber has changed, filled with an ethereal aura.

Even if it is innate spiritual energy, it is still far inferior to the pure spiritual energy before him now. In fact, it cannot be compared at all with that of the books.

It is said that this ethereal energy was a result of the founder of the Shuiyao Sect witnessing others shatter the void and ascend. This event caused the heavens to split, and a wisp of spiritual energy fell from the celestial realm. It was at that moment that the founder secretly collected this wisp of energy, treating it as the sect's treasured artifact

In the sect he originally belonged to, there were also many treasures that bore such symbols, but those symbols were all failed ones and were of no use whatsoever

Lin Yiming recalled his past

Lin Yiming held the photo knife, studying it for half a day, yet he could not decipher its nature. He attempted to penetrate it with his mental energy to identify what kind of treasure it was, but he found that his mental energy could not infiltrate it even the slightest bit.

Upon opening the package, he discovered that in addition to the waterproof beads, there was actually another item.

No, this is a symbol!

Lin Yiming distributed one hundred taels of silver to the villagers, keeping one hundred taels of silver for himself, along with that man's bundle

Lin Yiming's mouth fell open in surprise as he stared blankly in front of him. From the crack, a misty aura slowly wafted out, and Lin Yiming instinctively took a gentle sniff.

Thus, having been recognized as a genius, he was brought back to their sect. For the next six years, Shuiyao Sect exhausted various methods, yet they were unable to help him cultivate his internal energy.

Upon thinking of this, Lin Yiming smiled and shook his head

Six years ago, at that time, the major sect in the county, Shuiyao Sect, came to the village to recruit disciples. They intended to test the talents of all children aged ten and above but under sixteen.

As Lin Yiming was taken aback, this aura had gradually wafted before him, seeping into his body with his breath

Suddenly, Lin Yiming's gaze fell upon a line on the blade.

During his six years in the sect, Lin Yiming had read many ancient texts, having nearly gone through all the books within the sect. However, the patterns and characters on the blade before him were unlike anything he had ever seen. Within those seemingly simple patterns and characters, there appeared to be an inexplicable allure that held his gaze captive

However, before he could understand what had actually happened, an astonishing scene unfolded before his eyes

None of the children tested can compare to themselves

I have a recollection of this symbol; it seems to be related to space said Lin Yiming, scratching his head

At the time of the test, including Nanlin Village, there were only three children of the same age in the surrounding villages. Under the guidance of the Shuiyao Sect, after spending more than half a day, they sensed their presence and were accepted into the sect.

This spiritual energy, he had encountered it before, right within the Water Remote Gate, where such spiritual energy exists

Never mind, let's install the handle first and then discuss it

Among the numerous texts of the sect, many extraordinary tales and events are recorded

This is an object with an ancient bronze hue, resembling a dagger. However, it lacks a handle, featuring only a thin blade. The blade is also covered with intricate patterns and strange characters that he has never seen before

Within every individual, there exists a spiritual sea that stores their own spiritual energy. However, without guidance, no one can awaken the energy within. The members of the Shuiyao Sect test talent by guiding children to observe their innate spiritual energy.

Within the Water Remote Gate, the most formidable individuals are those who have attained the Innate Realm

Lin Yiming felt an incredible sensation coursing through his body, realizing that he had actually absorbed spiritual energy. Was he not dreaming? He was actually able to cultivate!

The dagger glided through as if it were slicing through a thin sheet of paper, leaving a crack about one foot long and as wide as a bamboo skewer before his eyes

With a little guidance, any child who can sense the internal energy will be taken in and welcomed at the mountain gate. The ability to perceive this energy is a sign of entering the period of spiritual awakening

This state is referred to as the Spiritual Guidance Period

Even he could sense that this celestial aura was slightly more refined than that of the Water Remote Gate

However, having inscriptions does not necessarily mean that this treasure is indeed a valuable item

A buzzing sound echoed in his head, and it felt as if all the strength in Lin Yiming's body had been suddenly drained away, nearly causing him to collapse to the ground

But now, he is already able to absorb this celestial spiritual energy

Today’s delivery is quite significant! Although this is a world dominated by martial artists, Lin Yiming is not afraid. Of course, that guy is not really a strong contender; if it were otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to easily confront him. After all, which true strongman would come to this remote and impoverished place to appraise treasures?

Upon returning to the store, he closed the door.

Every individual possesses their own unique essence within. Only by discovering it and allowing this essence to flow can one have the potential to become a martial artist

There are still two children. Although they have not sensed their own aura, the people from the Water Remote Sect say that they may also have the potential to sense their own aura, and thus they have been accepted into the sect

It has been six years, six years have passed, and I can finally draw in breath

This is the aura of the celestial spirits

A touch of spiritual energy has garnered such importance from the Shuiyao Sect, for this energy is the essence of celestial beings, the spiritual energy of the immortal realm. It is one of the most important treasures of the Shuiyao Sect

In an instant, a refreshing breath of air surged into his nostrils. Lin Yiming felt as if every pore in his body had completely unfurled, reaching an extreme state of comfort. The energy that had previously been drained suddenly returned to normal, and even increased... This sensation was akin to a cool breeze suddenly sweeping through during a hot summer, an indescribable comfort.

Now, he once again felt this aura, and it was not the influence of the external environment, but the true essence of celestial spirit

I do not know whether anyone would buy this item; if no one buys it, it can only be used as a fruit peeler.

Ultimately, after reaching the age of sixteen, having not yet entered the Spirit Guidance period, they abandoned themselves

He further sensed from this aura a spiritual energy that was pure to the utmost degree

Lin Yiming raised his head to gaze at the sky; in the room, he could even clearly hear the sound of his own heart, beating wildly.

In order to enhance his understanding of the world, Lin Yiming once devoted considerable effort to reading

When it was finally my turn, due to being a time traveler and possessing the mindset of an adult, at the very moment the other party initiated the guidance, the aura within me suddenly erupted.

In an instant, Lin Yiming felt that the spiritual energy flowing through his body was as if it had been washed by a stream, with endless impurities being flushed out. Subsequently, after this spiritual energy rotated around his body for a while, it surged into the sea of spirit.

Lin Yiming found a wooden handle from a pile of clutter and, after a busy half day, finally attached the blade to it

This is a spatial rift

Initially, the members of the Shuiyao Sect allowed those talented individuals to experience the essence of celestial spirit in order to stimulate the masses, conveying the message that once they ascend, they would be able to absorb this celestial spirit.

Innate spiritual energy, that is the energy cultivated with great effort by masters of the Innate Realm

Although it is merely a tiny bit of spiritual energy, it is contained within a priceless jade bottle. Spiritual energy is intangible and can easily dissipate. However, when stored in a jade bottle, the spiritual energy can be preserved

He can be certain that this is a rune, and it is a spatial rune... a treasure related to space. The origin of this item is likely extraordinary
