Chapter 5332: How to investigate

From the results of his test with Xue Jianfeng, the soul evoking hands and feet could take down any opponent under the original level. The price Lin Yi had to pay was nothing more than some spirit energy. As long as he had time to recover after the process, he could completely recover with the help of the spirit grass. In fact, if he wanted to, he could even skip the process of recovery because he could just devour his spirit!
Unlike the soul-snatching hand, the primordial spirit could directly use the other party as its own tonic. After devouring, not only would it not consume its own spiritual energy, but it could also grow by a large amount. This was also the root of the nine neonate’s joy.
However, Lin Yi wasn’t used to this method. First, he felt that it was too inhumane, like an uncivilized beast. Second, he felt that there were too many hidden dangers.
Methods that were too fast usually had many hidden dangers.
The nine neonate relied on its nine heads to devour all kinds of spirits, but if Lin Yi dared to do that, he might suffer a mental breakdown soon, or even a soul collapse.
From the perspective of a conspiracy theory, the nine neonate was willing to tell Lin Yi the essence spirit devouring technique so easily because it wanted to trick Lin Yi. If Lin Yi couldn’t resist the temptation of fast cultivation like it, he would’ve been tricked into a bloody mess.
He didn’t want to use it on anyone unless he had no other choice. He wanted to do it step by step and slowly.
Without the need to consume, the soul Catcher hand was the only way Lin Yi could attack his soul. Its importance was undoubted, and what he needed to do now was to further explore and improve the power of the soul Catcher hand. After all, in the ancient pugilistic world, he didn’t just have to face a peak Jindan like Xue Jianfeng, he had to face nascent soul old monsters from all the sects.
If he wanted the soul-snatching hand to be his trump card, he had to at least be able to deal with nascent soul old monsters!
Lin Yi and the others started training as usual. At the same time, Chen Dongcheng, the Vice-leader of the Qingyun sect, didn’t just sit around. He left Xin Yijie behind and went to the top of the mountain.
For all disciples, the summit was a forbidden zone that they absolutely could not approach. Even the higher-ups of the sect, including the sect master, had to report in advance if they wanted to ascend to the summit. This was because this territory only belonged to one person, Grand Elder Chen Jiu.
However, Chen Dongcheng was not one of them. He was the only exception in the entire Qingyun school of the northern island because he was Chen Jiu’s great-grandson.
There were no luxurious buildings on the top of Qingyun mountain. There was only a simple wooden house. At this moment, an old man was sitting on a rock next to him. With his breathing, the surrounding clouds were either fast or slow, constantly changing into various mysterious patterns. It was hard to understand, but it was very powerful.
“Old ancestor.” Chen Dongcheng stood behind Chen Jiu respectfully.
After a moment, Chen Jiu stopped breathing and slowly opened his eyes.”How is it?”
“As you ordered, I’ve placed Lin Yi and his men under house arrest on ascending cliff. They didn’t suspect anything at all, their alertness is really bad.” Chen Dongcheng’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
“That’s a good thing. It’s good to be a little slow. After all, he’s a legendary martial granduncle from the far ancient times. If he makes a scene before he’s verified, it’ll be more or less troublesome.” Chen Jiu nodded slightly.
“Do you really want to verify it?” Chen Dongcheng asked with a deeper meaning in his words.
“What do you think?” Chen Jiu laughed and looked at Chen Dongcheng with a probing gaze.
“Investigate, not only do we have to investigate, we have to do a thorough investigation!” Chen Dongcheng said after some thought.
“Oh? If it is verified that there is such a thing, then the sect will have one more Supreme ancient martial granduncle. Wouldn’t that be the same as having one more retired emperor? do you think that this old man’s life is too free?” Chen Jiu said with a smile that was not a smile.
“No, since it’s a Grand investigation, the result is naturally already decided. In your grandson’s opinion, rather than handling this matter coldly, it’s better to make a big deal out of it and then come to a conclusion when the time is right. Only this way can we truly convince everyone.” Chen Dongcheng said with confidence.
“Hehe, public opinion is meant to be manipulated. In terms of manipulating people’s hearts, I’m afraid no one in the entire North island’s Green cloud School is your opponent. It’s not in vain that I helped you to the position of Deputy sect leader.” Chen Jiu nodded in satisfaction.
“I’m not very talented. Even after exhausting all the family resources, I can only barely reach the mid-stage of the Golden core realm. With this strength alone, I’m far from being able to support the great cause of our family. So I can only take the side path and spend more effort in other aspects, hoping that I can live up to the great Expectations of the ancestor.” Chen Dongcheng said humbly.
“That’s right. In the world of cultivation, strength is the king. It’s a pity that our Chen family has been lacking in talent for several generations, and we haven’t been able to find a talented child, so we can only put all the burden on you. If you don’t have enough strength, you can make up for it with tactics. So, Dongcheng, you have to hold on until a new successor appears in our family!” Chen Jiu said with a sigh.
The lack of talent was not only a problem for the Chen family, but it was also a problem for the entire North island’s Green cloud sect, and even the entire North Island. Otherwise, someone like lie yingzu would not have become the sect’s eldest senior brother.
In contrast, the other islands, especially the middle Island, were full of talents. All kinds of shocking geniuses were springing up like mushrooms after the rain. Any one of them could make the entire new generation of the North Island pale in comparison. If this continued, the North Island was not far from its decline.
“Your grandson will not let you down, ancestor.” Chen Dongcheng’s eyes were very determined. He was not shouldering his own honor, but the fate of the entire Chen family of the North Island. For this, he would do anything.
“By the way, speaking of successors, Dongcheng, you’re already the Vice sect leader of a high and powerful sect, but you only have one son and two daughters, and their aptitudes are not good. You have to quickly find a few more outstanding female disciples. Remember, under these circumstances, having children is more important than anything else!” Chen Jiu warned.
If it wasn’t for his old age, he would have done this himself. Unfortunately, even though he could maintain his vitality by relying on his powerful strength at the Yuanying stage, he had long lost his fertility.
Fertility, this was one of the few key abilities that cultivators could not touch. If not for this, whether it was the Sky Class Island or the ancient martial world, the powerful cultivators would have had children all over the world. Their long lifespans of thousands of years were enough for them to give birth to an entire sect.
