Chapter 959: Secrets (I)
Pingya Island.
Sunlight poured into the grand hall, where Li Zhouwei sat in the main seat holding a jade slip. The light brushed over each lacquered red pillar before spilling across the wide expanse of the hall.
After returning from the lake, Li Qinghong retreated into seclusion as she awaited the arrival of Xi Zikang. Li Chengliao also entered closed-door cultivation to polish his realm in preparation for the Foundation Establishment Realm. And so, authority returned once more to Li Zhouwei’s hands.
Li Zhouwei didn’t mind the trouble. Advancing too rapidly in secluded cultivation would only arouse suspicion. Instead, he decided to focus on refining his spell arts and tempering his current cultivation while still keeping an eye on household affairs.
His hand rested on the desk. Radiance flowed across the pale golden jade slip as several small characters appeared, Heavenly Radiance, Hidden Light.
Since Xi Zikang had yet to enter a grotto heaven, the other escape spell Flowing Sun Refraction was temporarily inaccessible. Over the past year, other than sending people into the mountains to contact White Banyan Fox, Li Zhouwei had focused on this technique and made some progress.
His spiritual sense sank into his body. A speck of Radiant Light, no bigger than a bean, flickered gently within the hazy Juque acupoint[1], continuously absorbing his inner mana. Yet there was no obvious sign of anything profound.
Even so, Li Zhouwei slowly straightened, eyes downcast as he gazed at the jade slip, rubbing it lightly while pondering in silence.
It was simply because this was the first time the Li Family had seen or had even heard of a spell art being cultivated within the Juque acupoint. What’s more, this Heavenly Radiance, Hidden Light was said to be compressed there, then rise to the center of the brows, and be released to strike the enemy. It was utterly unheard of.
It's commonly said that the Foundation Establishment Realm takes place in the qi sea, with the Shenyang Mansion[2] signifying the awakening of divine ability. But what even is the Juque acupoint? And besides, if one never forms a Purple Mansion Dao, only the qi sea among the three apertures is visible. The Juque acupoint seems entirely redundant in the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao... thought Li Zhouwei.
