Chapter 34: Visiting Grandaunt
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Tell me, what exactly is the matter? Why are you being so secretive? Meng Dajiang came to the training grounds and sat down. The training grounds were spacious and empty. With nobody near them, there was no fear of eavesdroppers.
Dad. Standing there, Meng Chuan pointed at his glabella and asked in a low voice, Have you heard of an empty space in between the eyebrows? Meng Chuan really wanted to figure out what the space between his eyebrows was. If he didnt know a thing, he might one day engage in some sort of forbidden cultivation and suffer.
In terms of trust, there was no doubt that Meng Chuan trusted his father the most!
Theres space between our eyebrows? Meng Dajiang was puzzled. Chuaner, I dont quite understand what you mean.
Just like our dantian, said Meng Chuan. Our dantian is filled with an empty void that can nourish our Quintessential Energy. Its the same for the space behind the glabella. Theres also a space there, and theres even a tiny person hiding inside.
I dont know, Ive never heard of it. Meng Dajiang shook his head. Chuaner, why did you suddenly ask this? Where did you hear it from?
Its not hearsay. Meng Chuan said solemnly, Its because I can inwardly see a space between my eyebrows. The void is vast, and theres a tiny translucent person inside. That person looks identical to me.
Meng Dajiangs pupils constricted. How do you feel? Meng Dajiang pressed.
Very good, very good, said Meng Chuan. I feel like I have been reborn. When I close my eyes, I can sense everything within a hundred feet. I can even clearly sense the presence of ants and the bristles on their legs. Within half a kilometer radius, I can sense the auras of all life. I can even sense the auras of those cats and dogs.
You can see everything within a hundred feet around you even with your eyes closed? You can sense an area of half a kilometer? Meng Dajiang found it inexplicable. Chuaner, did you obtain some special cultivation formula that you are secretly cultivating?
No. Shaking his head, Meng Chuan said, Ive never touched any other formulas. After I was done painting yesterday, I felt a little dizzy. Then, I saw the space between my eyebrows through my inner sight.
It sounds good, but it might be dangerous. Dont be careless, said Meng Dajiang. Lets go and meet your grandaunt.
Okay. Meng Chuan nodded.
Fairy Meng was heavily injured, and she did not have many days left to live. She cared the most about Meng Chuan since he was the Meng familys hope.
To use all the family clans treasures to exchange for a drop of the Godfiend Jade Marrow Liquid, and to transfer all the credit she had accumulated to Meng Chuans name willingly showed how important he was to her. It could be said that for Meng Chuans sake, she could even sacrifice her life.
Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan trusted her deeply.
Inside the ancestral mansion.
Grandaunt, greeted Meng Chuan respectfully.
Meng Chuan, why are you here? Sitting in the yard, Fairy Meng put down her book and said with a smile, You practice eight thousand repetitions of the Saber Drawing Stance every day. Its rare for you to come to me so early in the morning.
Meng Dajiang immediately said, Something special happened to Chuaner.
Special? Fairy Mengs heart tightened as she asked, What is it?
Grandaunt, I looked at myself inwardly last night and discovered a space between my eyebrows. Its similar to the space in the dantian. Theres a space between my eyebrows, and theres a tiny person inside. It looks exactly like me.
Fairy Mengs expression changed slightly. A space between your brows? Ive never heard of it before either.
Aunt, you havent heard of it before either? Meng Dajiang was shocked.
Fairy Meng had been a Godfiend for about eighty years. She had quite a number of Godfiend friends, so her knowledge was naturally much comprehensive. Yet, Fairy Meng had never heard of the matter regarding the glabella space. It was unbelievable.
This meant that it was very rare! Extremely rare!
Dont be anxious. Meng Chuan, what changes did you experience after you discovered the space between your eyebrows? inquired Fairy Meng.
Chuaner said that when he closes his eyes, he can clearly see the surrounding hundred feet. Even an ants legs and the bristles on them can be seen clearly. Furthermore, he can sense all living creatures auras within half a kilometer. Meng Dajiang explained as Meng Chuan nodded.
Close your eyes and see a hundred feet? You can sense half a kilometer? Fairy Meng was puzzled. Have you released your Quintessential Energy?
I havent figured out Force yet, so I cant release my Quintessential Energy, said Meng Chuan.
I know you are unable to release your Quintessential Energy. Fairy Meng shook her head. Im also good at reconnaissance. I can probe five kilometers with a thought, but thats because of my Godfiend body. Furthermore, I can only probe five kilometers through a special formula that depends on releasing Quintessential Energy. As for you, you didnt use any methods to sense aura within half a kilometer of you. Ive never seen or heard of it before.
Meng Chuan was confused.
You can detect my aura? inquired Fairy Meng.
Grandaunt Meng Chuan could see Fairy Mengs clothes on the surface with his naked eyes, but when he closed his eyes, he felt like Fairy Meng had become a humanoid sun. The terrifying aura made it difficult for him to see her clearly.
Grandaunt, your aura is too strong. I cant see it clearly, said Meng Chuan. However, your aura is stronger than all other living beings aura within half a kilometer combined. I can sense it, and its as dazzling as the sun. Its hard to look directly at it, but its extremely eye-catching.
Fairy Meng thought for a moment and softly said, I have never heard of the glabella space, but Ive heard of something.
Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan listened carefully.
Humans have souls. You should have heard of them, said Fairy Meng.
Yes, Meng Chuan and his father tersely answered. The souls existence was common knowledge.
But do you know where the soul is? asked Fairy Meng.
The two shook their heads.
I heard from a good friend that a soul is located in the sea of consciousness, said Fairy Meng. A soul takes human form and is identical to ones physical body. Back then, I asked about the whereabouts of the sea of consciousness. Back then, he only pointed at his head and said that he didnt know much about it either. He only knew that this is related to more powerful Godfiend cultivation.
The soul is related to even more powerful Godfiend cultivation? Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan were deep in thought.
The space between the eyebrows sounds very similar to the sea of consciousness, said Fairy Meng. It just so happens that this tiny person is also in human form, and identical to your physical body. It might be your soul.
Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
Of course, this is just my guess, said Fairy Meng. It might be true, or it might be wrong. You cant fully trust me on that.
Meng Chuan nodded, but he already felt like he had gained a lot. It turned out that people had seas of consciousness and souls within the sea of consciousness. This was related to more powerful Godfiend cultivation.
Both of you have to keep this matter a secret. If its truly a joyous matter, that will be great. If its exposed there might be trouble, said Fairy Meng.
Thats right, said Meng Dajiang. If there are truly supreme geniuses, the Skydemon Sect would think of ways to assassinate them.
The Skydemon Sect was selfish and was only concerned about their own interests.
However, if a peerless, earthshaking genius appeared, the demons would reward them if a successful assassination was carried out. This was enough to prompt the Skydemon Sect into risking their lives to assassinate him.
There were ultimately too few geniuses who could be considered earthshaking, ones that could influence the overall situation between the humans and demons. For people like Mei Yuanzhi, the Skydemon Sect didnt even care He hadnt even succeeded in passing the initial entrance assessment at Archean Mountain, spelling out clearly what Mei Yuanzhis threat was. If his luck was a little bad, he might die on the battlefield and not even become a Godfiend. A so-called genius like Meng Chuan, who hadnt figured out Force, could only be considered dazzling in Eastcalm Prefecture. The demons didnt pay him any attention.
All you need to do is keep it a secret and continue your cultivation as per normal. Then, you can enter Archean Mountain, said Fairy Meng. Archean Mountain is the most ancient land of cultivation. Once you enter Archean Mountain and read the books it has, I believe you will know the secrets about the glabella space.
Okay. Meng Chuan nodded.
Thats right. Keep it a secret. Cultivate well, said Meng Dajiang.
You should figure out Force as soon as possible, said Fairy Meng. The sooner you figure it out, the better. Its best if you can succeed in Core Condensation. The deeper ones accumulation, the greater the chances of entering Archean Mountain. That Mei Yuanzhi gained insight into Force at 20. Although he took a gamble the chances of success were slim. In the end, he failed. You will need to figure out Force by the age of nineteen. Your chances of entering Archean Mountain will increase with an additional year of preparation and robust Godfiend foundation.
Meng Chuan really wanted to say that he was confident that he could achieve Force within the next few days. But having not achieved it yet, he felt that it would appear as though he was bragging.
Ill tell Dad and Grandaunt after I figure out Force.
