Li Luo's Secret

Back to a few minutes earlier.

Li Luo had just received the baptism of the sphere. While the lights gave her body a complete cleansing, some of the lights found their way into her consciousness, where her greatest secret lay.

Since birth, she had always been able to look into her mind. She did that often, usually staring at the two orbs of light that were covered in seals. It had always been that way. She had a feeling that those two orbs carried an earthshaking secret, but she had no way to access it given the seals.

The golden lights from Kong Xiang's sphere somehow got into her consciousness and made contact with the two sealed orbs. The seals on them melted like butter immediately, and the orbs instantly shone.

The golden sphere returned to Kong Xiang, but the orbs in her mind seemed to have been activated and began to glow in resplendent golden lights that were no less intense than that of the sphere.

The lights escaped her mind and enveloped her body, drawing Kong Xiang's attention. Her consciousness was drawn into a war, as Heavenly pressure descended on her, aiming to obliterate what was hidden in the orbs.

The orbs fought back, and they fell into a stalemate. This didn't last long, as the orbs didn't have a limitless energy source, compared to the invading Heavenly pressure which seemed cast and indefinite. Li Luo was struck with the feeling that eventually, one of the orbs would get destroyed while the other would take the chance to merge with her.

Unwilling to make even this small concession, she took matters into her own hands. Reaching out to the perplexed Kong Xiang, she instinctively drew one of the orbs out of her mind and into Kong Xiang's. The Heavenly pressure was enraged, but she paid no need to this and merged with the other, entering a trance like state herself.

Both didn't know that a Heavenly tribulation started to form right away, with the intention of blasting them to bits. Fortunately, before it could, the golden sphere emerged from Kong Xiang's glabella and flashed in warning. The Heavenly tribulation seemed like it just met its greatest nemesis and disappeared unwilling. This happened in a split microsecond and went unnoticed. Like nothing had happened, the sphere returned to where it came from. Silence prevailed and light from the moonlight revealed the two of them, unmoving and caught in a trance-like state. After a long time, Kong Xiang recovered and stared at Li Luo in shock. She sighed and started speaking.

*************************************

Kong Xiang felt like his mind had just been blown away. Li Luo had just explained to him that she came from a world called Earth and had been a professor in her forties. Her life had been fine until she was caught having an affair with a student. Facing the stigma and disciplinary committee of the university, she was at risk of losing her job. In the midst of all the stress, drama and trauma, she slumped and found herself in a completely different world with two sealed orbs in her mind. Coincidentally, after he revealed his secret, it unlocked her secret and she even shared it with him.

Kong Xiang secretly thought that it was no wonder he always felt a sort of motherly, big sister vibe from Li Luo.

As for the orbs in her consciousness, she had no idea what they were, although she presumed it was most likely related to her transmigration into this world.

High-level arts are usually independent and don't allow a cultivator to cultivate any other martial art, but the Eternal Divine Art breaks that rule and turns even the lowest level trash arts to perfect grade arts you can cultivate at every realm, allowing you to combine the best of various cultivation arts. She revealed. Kong Xiang thought in his mind that the name was lackluster compared to the one he gained. As if sensing his thoughts, she laughed.

"I got an additional set of information after inheriting the orb's content. Both arts are actually two parts of a whole. The Eternal Divine Art is a complimentary art to the Grand Divine Art.

The Eternal Divine Art is an auxiliary support art, on its own, it's not of much use. Its major role is to elevate any cultivation art to its maximum potential.

Regardless of its level, cultivating it with the Eternal Divine Art as support would increase the art's level to the maximum. High-level arts are usually independent and don't allow a cultivator to cultivate any other martial art, but the Eternal Divine Art breaks that rule and turns even the lowest level trash arts to perfect grade arts you can cultivate at every realm, allowing you to combine the best of various cultivation arts."

Just from this alone, this cultivation Art would cause a bloodbath in the entire cultivation world if ever revealed. Kong Xiang was still lost in the information when she revealed why the arts were almost destroyed by Heavenly interference.

"The Grand Divine Art is already a perfect grade art that has the potential to rival the Heavenly Dao. What do you think would happen if it was cultivated alongside the Eternal Divine Art that can excavate any art's potential?"

The answer was obviously the reason for the Heavenly interference. The Heavens would not tolerate the existence of any art that had a definite chance of surpassing it.

"Our arts are karma linked, so it's impossible to share the content to anyone else, including ourselves."

Both Kong Xiang and Li Luo's eyes gleamed with a competitive glint. The Heavenly interference led to the art being separated, but the independent arts themselves were still wondrous and still had great potential. Heavenly interference or not, with these arts in hand, they were determined to reach the highest realm of cultivation.
