Murim's Weakest Princess

With Grandpa Jin’s guidance and extra range of vision, Anji navigated her way to the observatory tower, where the research assistant who pulled her hair was taken.

Sceptical that she could see into a high-security building with many wards, spells and no stairs, Anji braced herself for impact. Although rare, there were instances when Anji was blocked from entering a particular place or seeing past what her ordinary sight would see. Grandpa Jin described those as natural barriers. When a person with a will stronger than Anji’s exist, they will naturally repel anyone who tries to pry into them. One such person Anji knew was her father. Although she could normally see her father using extended vision, there were times when Zhao Mingfeng could not be reached. Most of these instances happened in the deep cultivation chambers.

Expecting the same barrier to exist at the observatory tower, Anji slowed down and cautiously entered the territory, phasing through the spell-covered wall. However, when nothing stopped her from entering, she glanced back at the golden dragon in surprise.

Raising a brow, the golden dragon’s whisker twitched with amusement.

"If you thought a few nerdy researchers could compare to the will of the seven heroes in the alliance, you still need to explore more of the world. Of all the heroes, your father has the strongest will I’ve ever seen in a human. He’s rather rare, and the other person who comes close to his level of will is your sabre uncle."

Sabre uncle? Oh, he was referring to Bai Dajin. Belatedly realising how different the people she knew were from others, Anji wondered how she should adjust the scale. Before that, she had always used the people she knew as a measuring scale. However, the gap between these people and ordinary cultivators was too wide to begin with. Even Anji could not be measured ordinarily. Her shifu told her that while her cultivation speed was slower, her enlightenment level was much higher than that of most people in the Mystical Qilin Sect. In the beginning, Anji had no idea if the majority of the people were referring to the farmers who lived outside the cultivation school. However, after meeting people like Researcher Yang and Pearl, Anji began to understand why her shifu made that claim.

As if reading Anji’s thoughts, Grandpa Jin pointed at the door with his claw.

"Those are merely spells to ward off the physical person. The only ward that might pose any threat to you would be the barrier encompassing the entire Mystical Qilin Mountain. These spells were created by half-baked nerds who do not have enough insights. However, the first and final line of defence of this crazy place was created by the founder, a sage. Despite saying that, it is not a difficult seal to bypass. Think of that as your final test. If you can understand the final seal’s formula, you will be able to extend your vision all the way back to the Celestial Dragon Sect from here."

It was not a lie. However, there were many conditions before Anji could accomplish that. The golden dragon wondered if this would inspire Anji to work harder in her soul cultivation. As it was, Anji focused more on her golden core cultivation and knowledge of spells. Her martial arts and soul cultivation progress were lacking in comparison.
