"Zirong was right. Compared to Guan Shanhe and Qi Kaiyuan, our strength is indeed a bit lacking. Why not let them accompany you to Shangyue Country instead?" Huayue also chid in.
"What, does the trio of the mighty Anyun lack even this bit of confidence?" Mu Hanyan knew they were concerned about her, but still emphasized her words.
"What trio?" Jiang Yuzhe asked, puzzled.
Only then did Mu Hanyan rember that the current Hua Yuezi, Zirong, and Jiang Yuzhe had far from reached their future potential and were not yet known, let alone dubbed the trio of Anyun. Of course, even if they reached their future strength, they likely wouldn’t have such a notoriety again.
"It’s nothing, I just wanted to say, I have absolute confidence in you. I believe that one day, you will beco the strongest in the Holy Court Continent." Mu Hanyan stated firmly.
"Miss, we will certainly not let you down." Looking into Mu Hanyan’s clear eyes—eyes without a trace of impurity, or the slightest doubt—Huayue felt a surge of passion, and replied word by word.
Jiang Yuzhe felt the sa, only Zirong’s expression was a bit somber.
Confident as he was in his talent, and sure that through his effort he wouldn’t disappoint Mu Hanyan, the remnants of the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder still lingered in his body. He didn’t know when it might erupt, potentially leading to his demise. Thus, he dared not hope for too much.
"Zirong, I’ve already found a thod of detoxification. Trust , I can help you remove the remaining poison from your body." Mu Hanyan knew what was on Zirong’s mind, and reassured him.
The Chaos Heavenly Fire gifted by Ling Baobao could even neutralize the deadly Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill; resolving the effects of the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder inside Zirong ostensibly wouldn’t be an issue.
However, ever since it neutralized the poison of the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill last ti, the Chaos Heavenly Fire had fallen into slumber, like it was asleep. Mu Hanyan couldn’t awaken it, thus she didn’t tell Zirong, fearing that the higher the hope, the greater the disappointnt.
Yet, the Chaos Heavenly Fire would awaken one day. Mu Hanyan didn’t want Zirong laden with worries, or to beco apathetic, so she decided to share this news with him in advance.
"Miss, are you telling the truth?" Zirong asked, astonished.
"Do you think I’m just saying this for comfort? Actually, there was sothing else that happened earlier I haven’t told you..." Fearing Zirong might misunderstand her good intentions as rely comforting words, Mu Hanyan then detailed her earlier encounter with Fen Qianji.
"It’s just that after the Chaos Heavenly Fire consud the poison of the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill, it fell into deep sleep. Once it awakens, I will be able to detoxify it again." Mu Hanyan further explained.
After Mu Hanyan finished speaking, Huayue and the others realized that when Mu Hanyan ntioned a small trouble then, it was anything but minor. All of them were still a bit shaken, except Ling Baobao, who was quite smug.
"See, didn’t I tell you? My Divine Calculation Technique is accurate, yet you didn’t believe ." Ling Baobao pompously shook his head, nearly sticking his tail in the air.
Huayue and the others couldn’t help but smile. This God-man indeed had so real skills.
In the days that followed, Mu Hanyan and the others focused on cultivation while awaiting news.
"Could I be mistaken? Is it not a cultivation technique?" In the Quiet Room, Mu Hanyan concentrated her inner vision, examining the vast starry sky within the Star Plate, thinking to herself.
Just like before, the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate she acquired from the Secret Realm seamlessly rged with the one at her chest, making the starry sky more complete.
Every ti she got a Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, new wonders would arise, and this ti was no exception.
Mu Hanyan quickly discovered that the star map this ti was remarkably similar to the pathways of her Heavenly Heart Technique, likely allowing another advancent of her cultivation technique.
Yet, what puzzled Mu Hanyan deeply was that after much scrutinizing and repeated attempts, she found that this cultivation technique simply couldn’t operate.
"You weren’t mistaken, it is indeed the advanced Heavenly Heart Technique." The voice of Star Illusion Thousand Machine echoed in her mind.
"But whose ridians are arranged like this, how could anyone cultivate a technique like this?" Mu Hanyan said, a bit helpless.
She’d spent several days on this technique, only to finally concede that the pathways were unusually atypical, impossible for human ridians to cultivate.
"Why have you beco so dense again? If you open up all the hidden ridians inside, wouldn’t it then align?" Star Illusion Thousand Machine remarked in frustration.
"Hidden ridians!" A light bulb went off in Mu Hanyan’s mind.
She rembered that upon first obtaining the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate left by Mu Tianlie, she did open a hidden ridian, making it possible to cultivate the upgraded Heavenly Heart Technique. Careful scrutiny of the expansive starry sea in the Star Plate brought imnse joy—indeed, regular ridians couldn’t cultivate this technique, but once enough hidden ridians were opened, it could be cultivated.
"If I’m not mistaken, at least dozens more hidden ridians need to be opened to barely begin cultivation, right?" But soon, Mu Hanyan’s excitent subsided, and she noted dejectedly.
With each advancent of the Heavenly Heart Technique and continuous progress of her cultivation, she hadn’t just opened one hidden ridian but four. Yet, to cultivate this technique, dozens more must be opened. Even if she gave up all other cultivation and strange and mysterious arts, who knows when she could open that many hidden ridians?
No matter how miraculous, this technique seed rather useless to her.
After painstakingly acquiring this Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, the final benefit appearing to be this left Lady Mu quite disappointed.
"Perhaps, this is primarily a technique for opening hidden ridians," Star Illusion Thousand Machine mused amidst her dejection.
"What!" Mu Hanyan was taken aback. She hadn’t considered this.
The benefits of opening hidden ridians were self-evident. If this technique truly could open hidden ridians, it undoubtedly represented a shortcut to great power.
"But if it can’t even be cultivated, how can it open hidden ridians?" Suddenly dampened by cold water, any renewed hope Mu Hanyan had was dashed.
"I haven’t figured that out yet either, but there’s bound to be a way," Star Illusion Thousand Machine replied.
"Alright, let’s figure that out later." Not wanting to dwell on it further, Mu Hanyan set the cultivation technique matter aside and dutifully continued her cultivation.
Before she knew it, a month had quickly passed.
Mu Hanyan received news that the delegation from Shangyue Country, sent to welco them to the capital, had already set out for the border, and they should head to the border to et them.
