The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Hearing Yang Yan’s voice, the elder asked with a chuckle, "What is it that you understand?"

Yang Yan respectfully clasped his fists towards the elder: "I closed my eyes to carefully sense it, and discovered that there are actually some patterns inside this tree, and those patterns are the tree’s weakness!"

Then, pointing at the axe marks on the tree, Yang Yan continued, "And the axe marks you previously left on this tree perfectly correspond to these patterns. But now, there’s only one line left on the tree that hasn’t been covered!"

Hearing Yang Yan’s explanation, the elder laughed heartily: "Not bad, not bad, it seems like those who possess the Flawless Divine Body are indeed exceptionally talented!"

Upon hearing the elder suddenly reveal his identity with a Flawless Divine Body, Yang Yan’s pupils involuntarily contracted, and he tensed up, ready to act at any moment.

Yang Yan was clueless as to how the elder could see through his secret identity with a Flawless Divine Body, a secret known to only a handful of people.

The elder continued with a smiling demeanor: "There’s no need to be so alert, rest assured, I mean no harm to you. It’s just that I felt a momentary appreciation for talent. You must know, it took me half a year to comprehend this, yet you did it in just half an hour!"

Yang Yan asked with some doubt: "I guess you must have been waiting here for a long time, may I ask why?"

The elder shook his head, not answering Yang Yan’s question, but instead flicked his finger to release a beam of golden light aimed straight at Yang Yan’s forehead.

Instinctively, Yang Yan wanted to intercept it, but he found the golden light was extremely fast; before he could react, it had already entered his consciousness.

In an instant, Yang Yan felt a rush of information pouring into his mind.

This is...

A Cultivation Technique?!

Yang Yan’s eyes lit up. Without bothering to ask further, he immediately sat down in place to start absorbing this Cultivation Technique.

Boom—

Suddenly, there was a dramatic change in Yang Yan’s sea of consciousness.

Raging and pure energy surged into his sea of consciousness like a tide.

All of a sudden, it caused a tempest, as if about to overturn everything.

Yang Yan tried to maintain calm in his sea of consciousness, but could not prevent it.

The energy like a storm, like lightning, tore through his sea of consciousness, causing him agonizing pain.

The golden light suspended above his sea of consciousness emitted an attraction that absorbed all the incoming energy.

Soon after, the entire sea of consciousness became plunged into darkness.

This was Yang Yan’s domain.

Here, he was the master, he could command everything, and change the scenery and layout.

But when the golden light devoured the energy, Yang Yan suddenly realized that he had lost control over his sea of consciousness.

The Divine Soul Spirit Body seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss, descending forever, without end, filling him with fear.

In the darkness, only the golden light emitted by the elder remained dazzling.

Time slowly passed, and his Divine Soul Spirit Body was enveloped by the golden light, with a feeling of being devoured persisting.

Yang Yan vaguely felt that if he didn’t act, his Divine Soul Spirit Body might be cleansed by the golden light, leaving only pure Divine Soul Energy.

At that point, he would be in a state of eternal damnation.

Nevertheless, Yang Yan knew clearly that this was just an illusion.

Of course, if he did nothing, the golden light would inevitably wreak havoc on his sea of consciousness.

Suddenly, Yang Yan saw a trace of seven-colored light flickering in the darkness.

His spirit was jolted, and he quickly controlled his Divine Soul Spirit Body to flee towards that direction!

In that place, golden light flourished, the beam of light shot out like a scorching sun, evaporating the energy within his sea of consciousness and causing it to quickly become arid...

Unimaginable pain ravaged from deep within his soul, causing his consciousness to blur.

Gradually, Yang Yan was able to see more clearly what was really hidden in that golden light.

Indeed, it was a Cultivation Technique!

A Cultivation Technique composed of countless dazzling golden words.

Yang Yan tried to operate it, discovering that this Cultivation Technique left by the elder was not an ordinary Swordsmanship or Cultivation Method, but a Pupil Technique.

This Cultivation Technique allows one to see through the fissures, or weaknesses, of all things in the world.

Yang Yan had come into contact with numerous ordinary Cultivation Techniques.

But as for this mysterious Pupil Technique, it was the first time he had heard of it, and he couldn’t help but feel a strong interest.

The name of the Cultivation Technique that the elder left in Yang Yan’s sea of consciousness was "Seven-Colored Divine Pupil."

According to the theory of this Cultivation Technique, a human body is actually a luminous body, constantly emitting colorful light that we simply cannot see.

Healthy individuals emit bright light.

The light of the frail is dim.

Dead people emit no light.

Moreover, when emotions are stable, colors are uniform and well-defined.

When emotions are agitated, colors tend to be singular and undistinguished.

Those on the brink of death have dark-toned light.

People experiencing great fortune emit light in bright tones.

The light emitted from those with weak power dims, but the stronger the power, the brighter the light from a person.

This Pupil Technique allows the cultivator to briefly see the light emitted from a person’s body and thereby judge their fortune or level of cultivation.

However, among these lights, there are some hidden black lines.

These black lines are the fissures in a person’s body.

They are places not shielded by the cultivation technique, attacking these positions yields twice the result with half the effort.

Cultivating this Pupil Technique requires Star Power or Solar Power.

If practicing at night, choose the brightest star, gaze at it, feel it, and ultimately control it.

The star is the point, the heavens and earth are the circle.

First, make it move across the sky, then enlarge it, draw it closer, and finally merge with it.

In this process, the eyes will absorb as much starlight as possible, stimulating Star Power to temper the eyes.

During the day, one should gaze at the sunlight instead.

But the sun’s power is overly fierce, requiring gradual guiding and absorption, unlike the silent nourishment of starlight.

Moreover, different eyes need to be trained at night and during the day.

During the day, you train the left eye to be a Golden Pupil, and the right eye to be a Silver Pupil.

As the Cultivation Technique operated, Yang Yan’s two eyes became completely different colors.

The left eye became dazzling gold, while the right eye was a bright silver.

However, they appeared somewhat dim.

After all, it isn’t easy to transform Solar Power into Star Power.

But soon, Yang Yan became out of breath.

Because cultivating a Pupil Technique requires not only Spiritual Power.

To control the eyes to use this Cultivation Technique also requires considerable Spiritual Power.

Thus, after practicing for only a short while, Yang Yan felt utterly exhausted, dizzy, and faint.

This fatigue was not just physical, but more so a mental exhaustion.

Yang Yan even had the illusion that after just this short practice, his entire sea of consciousness had dried up.
