Chapter 1122: Li Clan Reserve Power
In the sky over the west was an enormous flower that virtually no one could see. And it was swaying back and forth dramatically. It was also starting to get blurry. Of the twelve petals with the beautiful women in them, two had vanished. There were now ten left. Of those, two were very blurry.
The two petals which had vanished were now visible on Li Mengtu’s forehead! As the apprentice of Poison Monarch, this legacy had been provided for his sake, and he had prepared thoroughly. He knew more than anyone what the legacy was. In fact, he had even been able to study images of it on multiple occasions. Each time, he had gained some enlightenment.
In fact, he had made every advance bit of preparation possible. He had put a lot of thought into poison, and had come to a deep understanding of it. And now, all of that preparation was paying off and giving him a huge advantage in seeking enlightenment.
On the other hand, Xu Qing had made some mistakes, wasted time, and was now quite behind. However, after he realized how to do it correctly, his enlightenment proceeded with spectacular speed. Unfortunately, that speed was still slow compared to Li Mengtu.
This period of enlightenment required advanced preparation and sudden inspiration.[1]
It wasn’t as simple as just branding the information onto one’s mind. It required comprehension, and a deep realization of something’s inner nature. That was the way to truly get the legacy.
Li Mengtu’s advance preparations were completely and utterly thorough.
But Xu Qing was only just starting to explore the situation. That was why there was such a clear difference between the two in the early stages of enlightenment.
It didn’t take long for Li Mengtu to be able to sense what was going on through the flower. The realization made him relax a bit.
It’s impossible to say why things changed like this, or how this other person has qualified to seek enlightenment of the legacy. But in the end... weak people are weak. My Master prepared this legacy for me personally. There’s no way some outsider could prepare properly. Comparing this guy to me is like comparing the mud to the clouds.
Li Mengtu’s eyes gleamed icily as a third flower petal formed on his forehead.
