Elder Xuan Tong nodded slightly, "Come in with me."
Seeing this, Bai Yu Wei immediately pulled Lin Chu and followed him in.
"Lin Chu, sit down," Elder Xuan Tong said, sitting cross-legged inside a secret chamber, looking at Lin Chu.
Lin Chu glanced at Bai Yu Wei. After she nodded slightly, he sat down opposite Elder Xuan Tong.
Elder Xuan Tong looked at Lin Chu and said, "Child, I don't know if I can completely break the seal in your mind. However, to what extent the seal can be lifted depends on your cooperation. The process of breaking the seal might be painful."
"To ensure your safety, there are a few things I must tell you beforehand. First, if you feel unbearable pain when I begin, you must say so. Second, you must relax your entire body and open your mind. Do you understand?"
Lin Chu nodded and said, "I understand."
Elder Xuan Tong nodded, glanced at Bai Yu Wei, and said, "Since that's the case, let's begin. Yu Wei, you can guard us from the side. If you see that he cannot continue, remember to interrupt me."
Bai Yu Wei nodded, and the spiritual energy within her body immediately began to circulate.
Seeing this, Elder Xuan Tong slowly formed hand seals, and the spiritual energy within his body surged out rapidly towards Lin Chu.
Lin Chu, deeply concerned about the secrets of his past, released his mind and allowed Elder Xuan Tong's spiritual energy to enter his body for examination.
Soon, Lin Chu felt as if something had appeared in his mind. As these things delved deeper, a sharp pain instantly struck him. Elder Xuan Tong's eyes trembled slightly, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Watching the changes in both Lin Chu and Elder Xuan Tong, Bai Yu Wei also became somewhat nervous.
*Crack!*
With a crisp sound, Lin Chu suddenly felt that something had appeared in his mind.
At this moment, before Lin Chu could examine what these things were, Elder Xuan Tong's body was suddenly struck by a tremendous force and thrown heavily against the wall.
"Elder Xuan Tong!" Bai Yu Wei exclaimed and quickly moved to Elder Xuan Tong's side. With a thought, spiritual energy continuously flowed into Elder Xuan Tong's body.
"Cough, cough... Yu Wei, I'm fine... cough, cough. I didn't expect I still underestimated the seal in his mind." Elder Xuan Tong coughed violently, then sat up and circulated his spiritual energy to recuperate.
Bai Yu Wei was shocked. With Elder Xuan Tong's strength, he was one of the top existences in the Young Sect.
If Elder Xuan Tong hadn't disliked worldly affairs, the position of Sect Master would likely not have fallen to Liu Fei Chen. Thinking of this, Bai Yu Wei became curious.
What secret was hidden in Lin Chu's mind?
As her gaze shifted to Lin Chu, Bai Yu Wei noticed a purple light flash and then disappear from his body.
"He's fine. He must be understanding the things in his mind right now. Yu Wei, although I cannot completely break the seal in his mind, I have managed to open a crack. From now on, he can only rely on himself to break this seal."
"It's hard to imagine what kind of being could have set up such a powerful seal."
Moments later, Elder Xuan Tong exhaled a turbid breath. Seeing Bai Yu Wei looking at Lin Chu with concern, he spoke.
"Elder Xuan Tong, are you alright?" Bai Yu Wei felt relieved and asked Elder Xuan Tong.
Elder Xuan Tong shook his head slightly and closed his eyes again to recuperate.
At this moment, Lin Chu felt as if many things had appeared in his mind, as if he had suddenly remembered them. However, when he tried to examine them closely, the sharp pain in his mind intensified. Lin Chu had no choice but to stop.
"Sister, why can't I see those things? What happened to Elder Xuan Tong?" Lin Chu slowly opened his eyes and asked Bai Yu Wei.
When he saw the blood at the corner of Elder Xuan Tong's mouth, he immediately became worried.
Bai Yu Wei shook her head slightly. "Elder Xuan Tong is fine. Chu Di, the seal in your mind is too powerful. Even Elder Xuan Tong cannot completely break it. As for why you can't see those things, it's because you haven't started cultivating yet. When you can perform internal visualization, you will naturally be able to see those things."
"Lin Chu, I must say, I've rarely seen such a seal. The seal in your mind was likely left by your loved ones. This seal doesn't need external force to be broken forcefully. As your strength grows, this seal will break on its own."
"Furthermore, the seal in your mind seems to have its own consciousness to protect you. Although you can't see it now, you will be able to see it when you truly enter the Qi Refining realm."
At this moment, Elder Xuan Tong's disordered aura gradually stabilized. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chu, saying,
"Lin Chu thanks Elder Xuan Tong." Lin Chu nodded and bowed slightly to Elder Xuan Tong.
Elder Xuan Tong waved his hand. "It's nothing. Since you are a disciple of our Young Sect, it is my duty to do this. Moreover, you are also the brother recognized by Yu Wei. Alright, Yu Wei, take him back. You can teach him how to cultivate. As for the cultivation method, I don't think we need to search within our Young Sect."
"No cultivation method? Elder Xuan Tong, do you mean that Chu Di has a cultivation method in his mind?" Bai Yu Wei asked in surprise.
Elder Xuan Tong nodded slightly. "For someone who could set up such a powerful seal, the things left behind must be a legacy. It's unlikely there's anything else worth such effort. And for a being who could set up such a powerful seal, the things left behind are not comparable to the cultivation methods of our Young Sect."
"Yu Wei, you just need to teach him how to absorb spiritual energy to cultivate. The rest is up to him."
Bai Yu Wei nodded, then stood up, bowed to Elder Xuan Tong, and left with Lin Chu.
As Bai Yu Wei and Lin Chu departed, Elder Xuan Tong murmured, "Yu Wei, this brother you've recognized is likely no ordinary person."
Upon returning to their room, Lin Chu immediately asked, "Sister, is it difficult to cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy, as Elder Xuan Tong said?"
Bai Yu Wei shook her head. "Absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate is not difficult. Anyone who cultivates can absorb spiritual energy at any time and any place. However, the prerequisite for absorbing spiritual energy is that the body must be a spiritual body."
Lin Chu asked in confusion, "Sister, what is a spiritual body?"
Bai Yu Wei smiled slightly. "Spiritual body is actually a common term we use. Did you see the light emanating from those contestants in the finals? Anyone whose body can emit light can cultivate."
"However, the brighter the light, the faster the cultivation speed, and the stronger the talent and potential. Such a body is called a spiritual body, while the mortal body is called a mortal body, which cannot cultivate."
Lin Chu nodded in understanding. "Sister, what should I do?"
Bai Yu Wei said, "Chu Di, don't rush. Although a spiritual body can absorb spiritual energy to cultivate, it cannot be done without a method. Next, I will teach you a mantra. You should remember it. As long as you can draw spiritual energy into your body, you can begin."
Lin Chu nodded immediately, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Seeing Lin Chu's excited gaze, Bai Yu Wei couldn't help but smile.
She then gathered her thoughts, made a mental move, placed a hand on Lin Chu's forehead, and slowly said, "All things have spirit, spiritual energy is the source, the source is the root, the root is the foundation... Spirit returns to the body, and all are self-contained. Chu Di, do you remember?"
Lin Chu slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
Bai Yu Wei nodded, then sat down. "Very good. Next, follow the mantra I taught you and do it with me. Remember, don't be anxious. It's normal to be a bit clumsy at first. Just find the method."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yu Wei slowly formed hand seals. Lin Chu quickly followed suit.
A moment later, seeing Lin Chu gradually enter the state, with a white light even illuminating his body, Bai Yu Wei's eyes flashed with surprise. She clearly hadn't expected Lin Chu to enter the state successfully on his first try.
As spiritual energy gradually entered his body, Lin Chu felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation, experiencing an indescribable comfort.
As spiritual energy continued to gather, Lin Chu suddenly felt a stir in his mind. The seal in his mind seemed to have loosened slightly. Seeing this, Lin Chu quickly focused his mind and looked.
Upon looking, Lin Chu was astonished. He could now see the seal in his mind. Moreover, a piece of information rapidly integrated into his mind.
"The Law of the Celestial Venerable, Creation of Chaos..."
Looking at the four characters that appeared in his mind, Lin Chu quickly began to read. As Lin Chu consciously examined them, information about the Law of the Celestial Venerable gradually unfolded in his mind like pages of a book.
"Creation of Chaos, the Law of All Things. To cultivate this law, one must possess the Immortal Spiritual Body. Creation of Chaos is divided into ten levels. Each level must be cultivated to perfection before the next can be opened. The first level can be opened when one reaches the first level of the Immortal Spiritual Body."
"Cultivation Mantra: Gather divine light, reach the Heavenly Heart. It is continuous and inexhaustible. The Dantian qi is slow, and the five internal organs are one. Qi circulates through the belt meridian, and the first level is formed."
As the last sentence ended, the information about Creation of Chaos in his mind stopped abruptly. Just as Lin Chu thought it was over, a memory image suddenly appeared.
Seeing this, Lin Chu quickly looked.
Upon looking, he was overjoyed. This image actually depicted someone practicing the cultivation process of the first level. Seeing this, Lin Chu quickly focused his attention and watched. A moment later, as the person in the image completed their hand movements, the image abruptly ended.
Looking at the disappeared image, Lin Chu understood that with his current foundation, he was likely only qualified to meet the conditions for cultivating the first level.
Furthermore, recalling that Fire Spirit Heart had once said that his physical body had already reached the first level of the Immortal Spiritual Body, Lin Chu assumed this was the reason Creation of Chaos had been unlocked. Thinking of this, Lin Chu nodded with relief, then recalled for a moment before slowly opening his eyes.
"Chu Di, how is it? Strange, why did it take so long for you to absorb spiritual energy for the first time?" Seeing Lin Chu open his eyes, Bai Yu Wei quickly asked, with a hint of confusion in her words.
"Sister, I can see the things in my mind now. Although it's very little, I can already know some of it." Lin Chu said excitedly.
Bai Yu Wei's eyes lit up with astonishment. "You mean you saw your past?"
Lin Chu's happy expression subsided slightly, and he shook his head. "I don't know about my past yet. However, in my mind, just as Elder Xuan Tong said, there is a cultivation method..."
Bai Yu Wei immediately covered Lin Chu's mouth with her hand, glanced around, and then said sternly, "Chu Di, remember not to tell anyone about the things in your mind, not even me. Do you understand?"
Seeing Bai Yu Wei's serious expression, Lin Chu hesitated and nodded.
"Chu Di, your secret is related to your life and death. Therefore, I hope you understand why I don't want you to reveal it. Since you now have your own cultivation method, cultivate according to your own method."
"Chu Di, speaking of which, you are much luckier than many of us. I also feel that your life will not be ordinary. Your path has already been paved for you. What comes next can only depend on yourself."
Seeing Lin Chu's hesitant expression, Bai Yu Wei smiled and gently stroked his forehead, saying,
"Sister, no matter when it is, you will always be my sister." Lin Chu nodded and looked at Bai Yu Wei with a determined gaze.
"Silly child." Bai Yu Wei smiled and began to explain some techniques for absorbing spiritual energy to Lin Chu again.
