Chapter 108: Divine Eyes of Insight
“Let’s go, come with me to Musashi Institute!”
Though both held the rank of Seventh Grade Official, the position of Musashi Editor was unlike the supervisor role frequently assigned to students, which Lu Chunyuan could appoint at any time.
Although Lu Chunyuan could issue an order to have Lu Sheng taken to Musashi Institute, he intended to go there personally to explain Lu Sheng’s situation to the chief editors and avoid unnecessary complications.
“Yes, Teacher!”
Lu Sheng responded and was about to follow Lu Chunyuan out when suddenly Lu Chunyuan’s footsteps halted. An imposing aura enveloped Lu Sheng as Lu Chunyuan transmitted his voice directly into his mind:
“Ah, I almost forgot!”
“There’s one more thing you need to be prepared for.”
“Some information about your ancestor—the Lu Yuanhun I just mentioned—is still classified, even to me.”
“This is also a secret to you? Could it be...” A term immediately surfaced in Lu Sheng’s heart: “Grandmaster!”
As the top disciple below the Grandmaster of the Lu clan in the Great Jing territory, Lu Chunyuan was not only the head of Wuyuan Mountain but also the direct grandson of Grandmaster Lu Yuanlin.
If there was any secret the Lu clan still kept from him, it would surely concern the Grandmaster.
“Could it be that my ancestor has already become a Grandmaster?”
“Then why has there been no mention of him in the outside world?”
Harboring these doubts, Lu Sheng was about to ask when Lu Chunyuan telepathically cautioned him:
“Don’t speak. What you say might be recorded by surrounding lifeforms and analyzed through lip-reading.”
“Keep what you know about him in your heart; don’t probe deliberately.”
“If anyone asks, just respond according to the records here.”
With that, Lu Chunyuan retrieved a spatial pouch from the room, took out some books and pills from his spatial belt, placed them inside, and handed it to Lu Sheng.
“This is Wuyuan’s standard-issue spatial equipment!”
Seeing the Wuyuan insignia, Lu Sheng recalled records he had seen with Lu Chunyuan and immediately understood that every Wuyuan student who reached the Martial Master level would receive such a spatial pouch.
Probing it with his spiritual energy, Lu Sheng sensed that besides the books and pills Lu Chunyuan had placed inside, there were garments bearing the Wuyuan emblem and various standard-issue weapons.
Clearly, this was a pouch Lu Chunyuan had picked up casually, not something prepared specifically for him.
“I just gave you some pills and books on refining the brain and blood.”
“Nothing else has happened.”
“Do you understand?”
At this, Lu Chunyuan transmitted again.
Lu Sheng nodded, signaling he understood, and also grasped why Lu Chunyuan was so cautious—
When it comes to the Grandmaster, especially a secret Grandmaster, no level of caution is excessive.
“All right!”
“Then come with me!”
Lu Chunyuan withdrew his aura and said.
In truth, even Lu Chunyuan was uncertain whether Lu Yuanhun had become a Grandmaster.
However, from his grandfather’s words, Lu Chunyuan had heard vague hints—
That some decades ago, when the great formation of Yujing City was suddenly activated, rumors involving Lu Yuanhun were not baseless.
Hence the conversation he had just had with Lu Sheng.
------------
“I never expected it!”
“Truly, I never expected it!”
“My ancestor might actually be a Grandmaster!”
“Then why is there no information about him in the outside world?”
On the way to Wuyuan, Lu Sheng pondered the information about Lu Yuanhun, still feeling uncertain—
There were more than twenty Grandmasters across the world, each a renowned powerhouse.
If one came from the Lu clan of Great Jing and bore the heavy grudge of the Lu family’s annihilation, why would such a person conceal themselves without avenging the clan?
Thus, Lu Sheng remained deeply doubtful that Lu Yuanhun had become a Grandmaster.
“Forget it, I won’t think about him for now!”
“Better to use my merits to quickly strengthen myself!”
The matter of Lu Yuanhun was, for now, not very relevant to Lu Sheng—at most, it would cause some who guessed the truth to hesitate.
At present, Lu Sheng cared more about using merits to enhance his own power.
“As long as I become a Grandmaster, nothing within the Great Jing Lu clan will be hidden from me!”
With these thoughts, Lu Sheng looked at the 410 merits he had accumulated and felt quite pleased—
These merits came from matches on the arena and rapid conversion through luck.
By estimation, they were enough to improve his insight through the partitioned wall.
“Moreover, just now, when I received the transmission of the Path of Brightness, I comprehended two abilities: Illuminating Reflection and Clear Candlelight.”
“Of these, Clear Candlelight mainly utilizes the eyes and can be integrated into my pupil technique.”
“I hope these merits can fuse them together!”
Thinking this, Lu Sheng followed Lu Chunyuan while instructing Ruyi to merge all his eye-related abilities into one.
Almost instantly, 200 merits were consumed. His eyes flashed with a bright light and then began to shine brilliantly.
------------
“What’s wrong?”
Sensing a change behind him, Lu Chunyuan turned and asked.
“Nothing!”
“It’s just that I gained some insight from your steps, Teacher!”
Looking at the now less mysterious Lu Chunyuan before him, Lu Sheng smiled.
Though he had only just fused his eye powers and had not closely observed others yet, this upgrade allowed him to quickly discover some secrets about the Martial Sect from Lu Chunyuan.
“So, the Martial Sect truly can resonate with the heavens and humans, exchanging primordial energy with the outside world at any time!”
Reaching seemingly the limit of this realm, his pupil technique did not completely drain his merits.
Yet, even so, Lu Sheng could now freely control his clairvoyance and even observe the external spiritual energy radiated by others.
“I’m currently at the Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation stage; using this pupil technique fused with Clear Candlelight allows me to see the spiritual energy others emit!”
“When I reach Spirit Refinement Returning to Void or Void Integration Dao stages, if I improve this pupil technique, will I be able to peer through the void of heaven and earth even before attaining the Void Insight?”
The reason Void Insight Grandmasters posed such a great threat to other Grandmasters of the Void realm was not only their overwhelming power but because they could see through the void space, leaving no place for others to hide.
Without this ability, Grandmasters below Void Insight could hardly escape their pursuit.
Lu Sheng’s fused pupil technique might allow him to see through the void even before reaching Void Insight—
Meaning that once his power is sufficient, he might wield the deterrent force of a Void Insight Grandmaster before officially becoming one.
Delighted, Lu Sheng named this pupil technique the Divine Insight Eye.
“Yes, the Divine Insight Eye—”
“In the future, it won’t just penetrate the void but help me comprehend all things, perhaps becoming a true supernatural ability.”
“This pupil technique has tremendous potential!”
With these thoughts, Lu Sheng grew more eager to collect various pupil techniques in Musashi, hoping to integrate them into the Divine Insight Eye.
He believed that through unremitting effort—
The Divine Insight Eye would surely shine brilliantly!
