Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 164: Heaven Impacts once more

Alex and the rest of the group fell into thought. Finally, after a while, Alex said, "Will the Elders do something to me?" he asked. He was afraid that if the Elders themselves get in the way, then he would have little way to get out of the situation.

Even his nigh-invincible Immortal Concealment technique could be detected if it were the Elders. They were after all a major realm higher than him.

"No, that won't happen. The Elders care either too much about the sect, or at the very least too much about their face to something so underhanded. However, they would start sending their disciples to mess with you. They won't let you learn or train the entire week, and continuously register you to battles, trying to tire you and maybe eventually beat you."

"If they do that, you won't have enough time in the day to focus on yourself and go do something productive or maybe register your own fight to get to a higher rank. Who knows honestly what they would do? But they will try to hinder you, that's for sure. Especially to not let the other Elders have you."

Alex thought for a moment and said, "That should be fine then. At the very least, I am confident in beating any of the students I meet in the sect for now."

Wen Cheng got a little surprised at such an ostentatious statement from his disciple. "What do you mean you can beat anyone? You think you can beat the core disciples?" he asked.

"I should be able to, but that would be revealing all my secrets, master," he replied.

Wen Cheng started getting more and more curious. "What do you mean? What other secrets do you have?" he asked.

Alex stopped talking for a second and thought for a while. 'Should I tell them?' he contemplated for a bit and said, "Let's go inside first." He walked into the training hall where nobody could eavesdrop into.

"Here is the thing master," he said as he brought out an old, dusty-looking book. The moment they saw it, both Wen Cheng and Luo Mei were surprised. "The book from the auction? You got it?" he asked.

"Yes. Master bought it for me since I could read it," he said. The moment he said that both Wen Cheng and Luo Mei's eyes turned wide, while Liu Xin looked at them wondering why they reacted in such a way.

"Wait, did you say you can read it?" Luo Mei asked in surprise.

"What is the book about?" Wen Cheng asked, accepting his disciple's words without questioning. He had seen enough to be deterred by such small things at this point.

"It's a technique called Heaven's Impact, that lets you use Spiritual sense to attack the other people's mind. Depending on how different our mental capacity is, I can make them faint like I did Huo Tu back in the fighting stage today," he explained.

"So, you really did read that language," Wen Cheng said in shock. "Does that mean you've read the language in the black stele as well?"

"What is going on?" Liu Xin asked and Luo Mei explained to him. It was his turn to get shocked now. "But master, that stele has been here since before the sect even transferred here right?" he asked.

"Yes, but if he can read it, it might help us know about its origins." Wen Cheng said.

"Actually master, I can't read that stele. I have tried it earlier and I felt like I was close to death." He explained the circumstances under when and how he nearly lost all of his spiritual sense and was almost hit with a spiritual attack from the black stele.

Wen Cheng looked confused. "Why use spiritual sense at all if you can read it?" he asked.

"Oh, uhh… how do I explain this. I don't exactly read the language. It's more like I look over it with my spiritual sense and after enough time, the knowledge comes to me."

"If it were normal language, I wouldn't even have to use spiritual sense, but since it's not, I have to. Which turned out to be a bad idea when concerned with that Black Stele. You guys shouldn't use spiritual sense on the black stele either. It's really dangerous." He cautioned the three.

Meng Yun was standing behind Luo Mei, listening to the conversation. 'Attacking someone's mind? Like what I do with my flute?' she wondered.

"Alright, let's see what it can do. Use it on use, little brother," Liu Xin said as he walked in front. Alex hesitated for a bit, but then remembered that she was perfectly fine after using it on her, so he decided to do it.

Without giving Liu Xin any chance to prepare himself, Alex used Heaven's impact. A whirlpool appeared in his spiritual sea that drained an eighth of his spiritual sea, which turned into a mist that floated up and formed the shape of a fist.

It immediately flew towards Liu Xin's head. He wasn't even ready when suddenly, he lost consciousness. His whole body went limp as he fell to the ground with a loud sound.

"Wahh, Senior Brother?" Luo Mei immediately ran forward to pick him up. "Urghh… " Liu Xin couldn't form any words as his head hurt him like crazy. "What…. What was that?" he said as he woke up with his head in his arms.

'Huh? Is senior brother's mental strength much weaker than master's? She was able to stop herself from falling even a little bit, which senior brother fell to the ground,' he started evaluating the two and quickly remembered, 'oh right, Master did say she ate some pills that increased her mental strength. That should be the reason why,' he thought.

Wen Cheng watched as Liu Xin barely got up from the floor, eyes moving everywhere as he couldn't focus on anything immediately. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"I— I'm fine, master," Liu Xin replied.

Wen Cheng then turned around to Alex and said, "It seems we were wrong in worrying about you."
