After dinner, An Yiqing took Gu Yelin to the sofa and asked the question that had been circling in her heart for the past month.
"Ah Lin, how can one become strong?" She once thought her strength was formidable, but ever since she came into contact with the magical world of Martial Cultivators, An Yiqing felt that her efforts were not enough.
Looking into the girl’s determined and clear eyes, Gu Yelin felt somewhat helpless. He knew that Tutu would eventually ask about this matter.
"To become strong, one must first break through their own limits."
"Their own limits?" An Yiqing pondered thoughtfully.
"Yes, human potential is infinite. Take the brain, for example, most people only use one ten-thousandth of it. Human limits are the same. One becomes strong by being reborn in repeated refinements," Gu Yelin explained succinctly about the principle of limits.
"So how can one break through the limits of the human body?"
"Find the critical point, perceive it, and break through it. It’s like being brought back to life from a place of death."
Being brought back to life from a place of death?
An Yiqing lowered her head, lost in thought about Gu Yelin’s words, as if some ideas sprouted in her mind but quickly flickered away.
Gu Yelin didn’t speak; he quietly stayed by the girl’s side. At that moment, the girl needed companionship, and she wouldn’t want everything done for her.
Time ticked by, second by second, and An Yiqing had been deep in thought for over half an hour. After a while, she slowly lifted her head.
"Ah Lin, I think I understand some of it, but not completely."
"Don’t rush, considering your age, reaching this level is already very good," Gu Yelin gently kissed the girl’s smooth forehead, soothing her somewhat bewildered heart.
"Ah Lin, how did you reach the level of a Mid-Level Demigod?" With Ah Lin’s age, being a Mid-Level Demigod was unparalleled.
"Tutu, just like the unique Vital energy you possess, my body also has unique abilities."
Gu Yelin’s words exploded like a bomb over the tranquil lake surface. An Yiqing looked at Gu Yelin’s calm expression in shock. He knew? He actually knew everything!
"Ah Lin, how... how did you know?"
"At first, I just felt your aura was different from ordinary people, then I gradually realized your unique talent for always winning bets on raw materials, and that led me to some conclusions," Gu Yelin candidly shared his suspicions, "Tutu, don’t be afraid. Even in death, I will keep this secret."
"No, Ah Lin, I never doubted you!" An Yiqing hurriedly grabbed Gu Yelin’s hand, her voice tinged with worry, "I thought the Vital energy that allowed me to see through things couldn’t be detected by others, but now that you’ve discovered it, does that mean others might also notice something different about me?"
"Not at all. At least within Xuanjin, aside from me, not even Grandpa and the Gu Family’s ancestors could detect your Vital energy."
"Why?" An Yiqing was puzzled. Why was Ah Lin so sure about this?
"Tutu, come with me." Gu Yelin spoke and took An Yiqing’s hand. Before she could react, they mysteriously vanished from the room. Only Xiao Hei, the dog, was left spinning in shock where they had been, barking, "Master, master! That bad person has taken the master away! Woof!~"
When An Yiqing regained her composure, what appeared before her was a quiet, eerie space.
The space was as large as a cave, with a large disc on the ground depicting a Taiji pattern. Unlike the usual black and white, this Taiji pattern alternated between red and blue, looking quite eerie.
"Ah Lin, what is this?" A faint idea formed in An Yiqing’s mind, but she still asked tentatively.
