Facing the expectation in Huo Ling’er’s eyes, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but feel awkward.
Did he have a Vision? Of course not.
It was already impressive that he had managed to reach this point with his original Mortal Physique, achieving what he had due to a series of coincidences and his own machinations.
As for awakening a Vision? This was obviously impossible.
However, Chen Xuan did not show it. His face remained unchanged on the surface, maintaining a mysterious smile.
"Of course I do," he nodded.
"In most cases, Spirit Bodies can only awaken their Visions once they have reached Foundation Establishnt. The less talented must wait until they reach the Core Formation realm."
"As for ?" he sighed, pausing for a brief mont as if reminiscing, "I was lucky to awaken my Vision while in the Body Transformation realm. Even my Master, an unfathomable cultivator who has crossed hundreds of Domains, was shocked at the ti."
Other cultivators would have doubted his words, including people like Qian Lingxue, who suspected him of possessing a Holy Body.
A cultivator awakening a Vision at such a low realm had never happened in the records kept by the sect. It was obviously impossible!
Yet, Huo Ling’er had pious confidence in her Master.
Hearing his outrageous claims, she showed no doubt. Her eyes brightened even further.
"Master, can I take a look at it?" she asked, her face blushing halfway through the sentence.
"I—I an, can I look at your Vision?"
"I want to see if it can help control my own," she explained, afraid that her words would be misunderstood.
Chen Xuan appeared pleased with her studious behavior, ignoring her gaffe.
However, a trace of hesitation crossed his face upon hearing her request. In the end, he showed a troubled expression, gritted his teeth, and nodded.
"I can show you," he said, warning sternly, "But you must keep it a secret. Things like Visions are powerful trump cards for us cultivators. If our enemies were to learn of them, they would be able to target our weaknesses."
"Especially a Vision like mine must remain as top-tier secret."
Huo Ling’er imdiately beca grateful. She didn’t understand the value of a Vision before.
But after hearing his explanation, she realized Chen Xuan was allowing her to glimpse into one of his greatest secrets.
Unable to voice her gratitude, she bowed respectfully and took a few steps back, leaving room for him to perform his "magic".
Her actions left Chen Xuan speechless. How co he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, now looked like a street perforr?
Even so, he didn’t point it out.
Instead, his eyes grew solemn as his voice rang out in Huo Ling’er’s ears.
"Every cultivator’s Vision is different. It is related to the very essence of their Physique or the technique that they practice."
"So Visions are phantoms, others are natural phenona, while there are even so that resemble ordinary objects," he didn’t forget to explain before raising his hand and pointing towards the sky above him.
The Spiritual Energy instantly surged, as if the Heavens had awakened from their slumber.
A giant, invisible hand seed to subtly manipulate the energy, fusing it behind Chen Xuan’s figure.
Under the astonished eyes of Huo Ling’er, a giant phantom materialized, just like the one that had once erged behind her.
Unlike her own Vision, however, the phantom behind Chen Xuan was hundreds of feet tall.
It wore a white robe and had ssy black hair and piercing blue eyes, while its face perfectly matched his own.
Colorful lotuses blood as illusory white mist surrounded its silhouette, as though it were immortal aura.
Though she had ntally prepared herself for it, Huo Ling’er couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Staring at this towering silhouette, she felt as though she could peer into the essence of the Dao. She had the illusion that a true Immortal had descended from the legendary Immortal Realm.
With her mouth still open and her body trembling, she heard a powerful ring directly within her mind.
"I call this Vision: The Immortal King Descends to the Mortal Realm!" Chen Xuan said softly as the eyes of his "Vision" turned increasingly aloof.
The mont he finished speaking, the vision exploded, turning into a single point of light.
The turbulent aura quickly settled, while the immortal aura and the blooming lotuses vanished.
Yet, the earlier scene continued replaying in Huo Ling’er’s mind.
Chen Xuan noticed her shock and admiration and secretly nodded, satisfied with his performance.
’Fortunately... fortunately, I broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and can now manipulate the Spiritual Energy outside my body,’ he thought, glancing at the phantom sitting within his Dantian, only to see that it had grown fainter.
Still, facing the excited Huo Ling’er, whose face practically scread "my Master is the strongest", he felt that the expenditure of energy was absolutely worth it.
After giving Huo Ling’er a few monts to process what had happened, he was about to speak again, planning to further reinforce his invincible deanor.
Just then, his face suddenly changed.
Casting a glance at his disciple, who was still frozen in place, he waved his hand and snapped her back to reality.
"That’s it for today," he said. "You should visit the Yin Yang Peak’s Library if you wish to learn more about Visions."
"Of course, a solid cultivation base is still the most important thing for us cultivators," he added.
"Though you’ve broken through, you still have a long way to go. You should work hard and break through to Foundation Establishnt as soon as possible."
His words jolted Huo Ling’er completely awake. Hearing his instructions, she nodded repeatedly, taking his words to heart.
Then, sensing his intention to send her away, she bowed respectfully and turned around.
"Thank you, Master. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down. I will break through soon!" she vowed.
Before exiting the courtyard, she took one final glance at Chen Xuan, then gazed thoughtfully at the opposite side of the courtyard.
Chen Xuan paid no attention to her little action. After watching her leave, his divine sense communicated with the surrounding formation and opened a small, human-sized gap.
A streak of light flashed in the distance. It blurred and landed beside him the very next mont.
A faint chuckle echoed, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.
"Has your disciple already broken through? As expected of soone who awakened a Vision at the Qi Refining realm..."
