Rise of the Wu Clan

Chapter 39- Li Shen's Indignation… Longwei's Protective Nature

As the Sparrow move at high speeds through the air, everyone's gaze shifted from Li Shen, except for one person.

Longwei was still looking at him curiously, while Li Shen himself was trying to ignore his gaze.

After a while of staring, Longwei turned to Longmin and ask, "Little brother, who is this? And why are you bringing him with us?"

Hearing his brother's question, Longmin immediately answered, "He's our new servant, and he'll be returning back to the clan with us."

Li Shen who was calmly sitting next to Longmin, nearly choked on air as he heard that. He turned to Longmin ready to refuse, because who would want to become someone's servant?

But before he could, Longmin turn to him with a smile and said, "Senior brother Shen, if I hadn't rescued you back there, you would have died at your fellow disciple's hands. So that means you owe me senior brother Shen. If you want to repay me what you owe, you can either become a servant… or hand over something of equal value."

When Li Shen heard that, his eyes bulged. He couldn't believe the shameless words Longmin was spouting.

Li Shen suddenly regretted being saved by Longmin.

He was obviously using this situation to try and extort the technique he had from him.

He then Remembered Longmin's words from before, that he wouldn't forcefully take someone's possession. Li Shen felt like he was going to cough up blood because he just realized what he had meant by that. Longmin wouldn't forcefully take something from someone, but he had no qualms using extortion methods to have that person hand it over.

Li Shen gritted his teeth.

'Even if I wanted to hand the technique over to him, the original manual in my Sea of Consciousness can't be removed without me dying, and my comprehension of it is insufficient to transfer it via writing.'

Li Shen glared at the smiling Longmin before he huff and turned away, feeling indignant about his current situation.

'Why did this have to happen to me.' Li Shen thought while sighing to himself.

'It's because of that bastard Xiang Shi chasing me into the inner region. If I wasn't forced into escaping here, then I wouldn't have met this demon and get trapped in this situation.'

'Wait a minute!!'

Li Shen's expression suddenly changed as he thought of something.

'The inner region is several thousand kilometers in size, and it covers a vast distance that's filled with enormous mountains and forest trees. How did I manage to encounter the one person I didn't want to in such a large place? Is my luck really so bad as to coincidentally meet this demon brat when I was escaping from Xiang Shi?'

Li Shen was frowning in confusion before his face suddenly go pale.

He hurriedly closed his eyes and sunk into a meditative state. His consciousness appeared within his dantian soon after in the form of a translucent projection.

Within his Dantian, floated two enormous golden cores, along with a half finish one.

This signaled that Li Shen would soon reach the peak of the early Core Formation realm.

Aside from the two and a half golden cores, a deep blue colored sphere the size of a fist was in the center of the cores. It was releasing a colorful blue radiance in the dark void as it rotated soundlessly in place.

One could also see three blue streams flowing from it towards the three golden cores.

As Li Shen's consciousness fully formed, he wasted no time and immediately went up to the glowing blue sphere. The blue sphere's rotation came to a stop before Li Shen placed his hand on its surface.

As soon as he did, his consciousness was sucked into it.

In the blue sphere, Li Shen looked around the large surroundings and all that he saw was his Mirror Aura.

This blue sphere was something that he got along with the manual in his Sea of Consciousness.

The manual detailed a cultivation method called 'Reflecting All In Creation'.

To be honest, Li Shen had no idea what the level of this cultivation method was, but he did know that base on the small things he learned and comprehended about it, it must be an extremely terrifying technique.

The manual also stated that the only way to cultivate the technique was to possess this blue sphere that was filled with Mirror Aura. The first step when cultivating Reflecting All In Creation was to totally replace his Spiritual Qi with Mirror Aura.

And like the manual in his Sea of Consciousness that was fused with his soul, this blue sphere filled with Mirror Aura was fused with his Dantian.

So if someone wanted to steal his cultivation technique, they would have no way to cultivate it if they didn't get their hands on this blue sphere.

When both were fusing with him, Li Shen was in so much pain that he felt like he would rather die. He would never forgive himself if he went through that pain only to let someone forcefully take the manual from him. If he was to ever be in a situation where he couldn't fight back, then he would destroy his own dantian and the blue sphere in the process, making it so that the person never gets to cultivate his cultivation method, Reflecting All In Creation.

Li Shen started looking around inside of the world of the blue sphere before a frown appeared on his face.

'This will take forever if I just aimlessly look around like this.'

After saying that, Li Shen closed his eyes, and his projection started dissipating into the surroundings.

His consciousness then engulfed the entire sphere and began observing the Mirror Aura within it. He was looking for something, he didn't know what it was but if he saw it he would know.

After a while, in a far corner of the 'mirror world', a strand of Mirror Aura was about to leave and fuse with one of Li Shen's cores, but a red rune flashed for a split second within it, causing the strand of Mirror Aura to suddenly divert from the flow leading outside to just starting roaming around.

The flash of the rune was so fast that if someone wasn't looking closely, they would have missed it entirely.

However, Li Shen had managed to spot it.

'There it is!! He had actually tampered with that strand of Mirror Aura before he returned it to me!!'

Li Shen was absolutely dumbfounded.

'I was so preoccupied with Xiang Shi that I hadn't noticed it.'

As Li Shen thought that to himself, his consciousness formed near the strand of Mirror Aura before his hand caught it.

Li Shen glance down at the strand of Mirror Aura and squeezed. The Mirror Aura immediately dissipated to reveal a pin-size red rune that had several complex symbols all over its small surface.

'That bastard!! This must be how he was able to find me!!'

Li Shen angrily pinched his fingers and crushed the small red rune.

In the outside world, Longmin was speaking to Longmin via Spiritual Sense.

"Brother, senior brother Shen's cultivation method is very strange. It can actually imitate the properties of another person's Spiritual Qi. And from what I sensed when I inspected one of the technique's strands of energy, it contains enough profundities that even left me baffled. I suspect that replicating someone's Spiritual Qi is only a basic function of the technique! Brother, this technique is unlike anything I have ever seen before, it's completely different from normal cultivation methods. It's like a whole other line of Spiritual Qi cultivation, but in this case, the thing being cultivated isn't Spiritual Qi. There might be some similar techniques out there but none this profound!"

The more Longmin spoke, the more his words become rushed. Longmin had never encountered a technique that his Dao Eyes found so difficult to analyze. Even the Sage-level Legacy cultivation methods in his clan weren't so profound to such an absurd degree.

As Longmin's voice entered Longwei's head, he could tell from his brother's tone of voice that he was extremely excited.

'He's acting like a little child that just found a new toy.'

Longwei mused to himself before he went to respond to his brother. Even though he didn't possess Spiritual Sense, which could allow him to send spiritual messages through the air, he could still use his Spiritual Strength's vibrations to communicate with Longmin.

"If it's so strong, then does that mean it's more powerful than our Legacy Techniques?" Longwei asked while sounding skeptical.

Longmin's Spiritual Sense goes silent for a while, before he said, "Even though I can't tell what the level the cultivation method is because I haven't seen it, I'm certain that it surpasses a Sage-level cultivation method, and reached the Heaven-level."

When Longwei heard that, he became stunned. He was about to ask more questions, but he suddenly felt Longmin's Spiritual Sense tremble.

He wasn't the only one that had sensed it, Weisheng had opened his eyes to look at him, as well as the two bodyguards.

Even though the two black robe bodyguards had their Spiritual Senses' covering everyone, they didn't dare try and intercept their young master's spiritual message.

After Longmin's Spiritual Sense trembled, he had instantly turned to look at Li Shen.

The reason his Spiritual Sense had trembled, was because the rune he had secretly placed within Li Shen to track him, had suddenly been destroyed.

'Did senior brother Shen find my rune?'

Longmin thought to himself as he stared at Li Shen next to him.

Even though Li Shen had his eyes closed, Longmin could tell he had left his meditative state. He was just closing his eyes to avoid Longmin's gaze.

Longmin smiled at this.

'The rune's not that important, since it could only work if I was a certain distance away. Plus, it had already served its purpose.'

Longmin's Spiritual Sense suddenly sensed Longwei's Spiritual Strength vibrations.

"Little brother what's wrong, why was there a disturbance in your Spiritual Sense?" Longwei asked with slight concern.

Longmin turn away from Li Shen, as he sent a response to Longwei, "I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about."

Hearing his brother's response, Longwei nodded his head.

"Ok, I'll leave that Shen person to you, and I'll handle that bastard Weisheng. Though, if you manage to discover what he's hiding with your Dao Eyes, tell me. If it's something worth worrying about, I'll immediately kill him."

As Longwei said that, his eyes flash with a rather tyrannical aura.

He wouldn't show any mercy to anyone who wished harm upon him, his clan, or his brother… especially his brother.

Longmin nodded his head while he stared off in the cloud fill horizon.

The outline of a Palace was coming into view, and the fact that Longmin could see the top of it from above the clouds at such a far distance away, shows that it was absolutely enormous in size.

Edit: Hey guys, I made a massive mistake, I previously wrote that there were three QI Pillars in Li Shen's dantian, but it should be cores instead. In the future I'm gonna post a chapter explaining the cultivation prosses in this novel and some other things, so look out for that.

See ya!! ~waves gb~
