I Can Extract Divine Power

Previously, the Divination Skill had told Shen Bai that the secret within the Hundred Truths Remains held a great opportunity for him.

Now, a reflection of the Mysterious City had appeared. Shen Bai had to figure out what this reflection was for and how it would bring him that opportunity.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sleep, and even grinding his Skill Levels wouldn’t feel satisfying.

After hearing Shen Bai’s question, Amber put away her playful, lively mood. She looked up at Shen Bai with her emerald-green eyes and said, "Master, you can use this reflection of the Mysterious City to enter the Mysterious City ahead of time."

"This thing is very precious. I don’t know how the Hundred True Gentlemen obtained it, but I suspect his Hundred Truths Technique might be related to the Mysterious City."

The reflection was equivalent to a coordinate, allowing Shen Bai to enter the Mysterious City early. And with this coordinate having been in the hands of the Hundred True Gentlemen, Shen Bai began to connect the dots.

’What Amber just said might be right.’

’The Hundred True Gentlemen used the reflection of the Mysterious City to get a lot of good stuff from inside, especially his Hundred Truths Technique.’

’Even for a genius above the Void Realm, creating a unique Cultivation Technique from scratch is next to impossible, yet the Hundred True Gentlemen did it.’

’Not only did he do it, but this technique is also incredibly powerful, reaching a level of invincibility among his peers.’

The ease with which Shen Bai achieved Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward was only thanks to his Golden Finger.

To be invincible among one’s peers was a feat only a few geniuses in the world could achieve.

For the Hundred True Gentlemen, a mere Void Realm Peak cultivator from a Prefecture-level City, to have created his own Cultivation Technique—connecting this to the reflection of the Mysterious City, Shen Bai found it hard not to suspect that the Hundred True Gentlemen had ’sourced his goods’ from there.

’So that’s how it all forms a closed loop. The Hundred True Gentlemen possessed the reflection of the Mysterious City long ago. He must have used it as a coordinate to enter the Mysterious City many times to obtain a cultivation technique. After acquiring it, he named it the Hundred Truths Technique and began his Cultivation.’

’But unexpectedly, the technique had a fatal flaw. He died because of this terrifying side effect. Before he died, he probably tried to use the reflection of the Mysterious City to find a solution, but it was impossible.’

’He sealed himself and the reflection of the Mysterious City inside the mine, using a supreme Secret Technique to place it within his skull.’

Layer by layer, Shen Bai constructed his theory, feeling that this was more or less what had happened.

Now that he had his theory, the next step was to deal with the matter of the Mysterious City’s reflection.

’If I can use this reflection as a coordinate to enter the Mysterious City, then this is indeed a great opportunity for me.’

’There are strange entities inside, which means I can obtain a large amount of Evil Qi.’

’As for safety, it shouldn’t be a major issue. After all, even the Hundred True Gentlemen managed to come out of there safe and sound multiple times. I, who can achieve Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward, will surely not be in danger.’

Behind any danger lies immense benefit.

The Evil Qi was of the utmost importance.

’Perhaps I should consider going in for a look.’

Shen Bai mused internally.

After about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, he made his decision and looked at Amber, who was hugging him and snuggling against him.

Ever since Amber took on a human form, she had become a bona fide cat-eared girl.

Not only that, but Amber had also become increasingly clingy.

Except for when he was grinding his Skill Level, during which she would hide within his body, any time Amber appeared, she would inevitably try to burrow into his arms.

Such a cute and playful cat-eared girl, who was also perfectly docile, was simply the dream girl for many men.

But for Shen Bai, grinding his Skill Level was still more appealing.

He rubbed Amber’s cat ears and asked, "How do I use the reflection of the Mysterious City to get inside?"

Amber squinted her eyes, enjoying Shen Bai’s touch. "If you want to enter the Mysterious City, Master, you just need to use the Qi in your body to connect with the reflection. That will let you in."

"The Mysterious City operates on rules. Generally speaking, as long as you don’t break the rules, you won’t run into any major problems."

"It’s just that the more people who go in, the harder it is to guarantee that someone won’t break the rules. A single misstep can affect everyone, causing danger to erupt throughout the entire Mysterious City."

Shen Bai understood what she meant.

First, to enter the Mysterious City, he just needed to connect with the reflection.

Second, the probability of danger was not high if he went in alone.

After all, anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t do something completely insane.

But with more people, it takes all kinds to make a world, and it would be hard to guarantee someone wouldn’t do something reckless.

’In that case, I can consider making a trip inside. But before that, I need to get things at the Observatory in order,’ Shen Bai thought.

Having made his decision, he didn’t plan to linger. With a mere thought, he exited the Life and Death Storage Skill’s Space and appeared inside the five-story building of the Observatory.

After walking out of his room, Shen Bai saw Fang Tong downstairs, preparing to bring him his lunch.

Shen Bai didn’t say anything and simply waited on the balcony of the five-story building.

After a few breaths, the sound of Fang Tong’s footsteps echoed from the staircase.

"Lord Shen, you’re out?" A hint of delight appeared in Fang Tong’s eyes.

He hadn’t even seen Lord Shen recently, so he was surprised to see him appear today.

"This is your lunch. I’ll just put it on the table for you."

"Lord Shen, you’ve just come out of seclusion. If you need anything, feel free to call me at any time."

Fang Tong said respectfully after placing the lunch box on the table.
