Chapter 1001: Jiuyin Ling's Road of No Return

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Xiaobai had always been an upright girl.

However, after the initial hostility, she quickly reacted.

In terms of interests alone, the Thug Academy was indeed lacking teachers. Furthermore, Jiuyin Ling represented the Jiuyin Family. Although they had declined, they had come to help on the ancient battlefield.

Secondly, there was no problem with the girl, Jiuyin Ling. She had a high chance of rising to prominence. She was more than enough to be a teacher.

As for the relationship between Jiuyin Ling and Han Fei? Luo Xiaobai knew that Han Fei didn't have such thoughts. Therefore, what she was conflicted about was: if Jiuyin Ling stayed and followed Han Fei every day, would they fall in love over time?

Luo Xiaobai thought to herself, It's fine if Jiuyin Ling stays, but I have to have a talk with Han Fei.

Therefore, Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei. "It's up to you."

Le Renkuang took a deep breath and secretly said to Zhang Xuanyu, It doesn't seem right.

Zhang Xuanyu rolled his eyes. Sure, although this girl is really good-looking, I'm still against her in terms of morality.

Without Xia Xiaochan, there had only been four people in their team. It was impossible for outsiders to join.

The reason why everyone was at ease with Li Luoluo was that Li Luoluo's personality switch was too strange. Even Zhang Xuanyu couldn't withstand this change, much less Han Fei.

Although Jiuyin Ling couldn't join this team either, everyone was on Xia Xiaochan's side. Although Xia Xiaochan wasn't around for the time being, the three of them still played the most direct role of supervision. They couldn't bear to see Han Fei fall in love with someone else.

Han Fei said indifferently, "Su Sanqian, Su Daiji, cultivate well… Have you made it halfway through?"

When the two of them heard that, they immediately focused on their cultivation. It was better not to make a sound.

Han Fei regained his composure and said calmly, "Alright, I have no problem with Jiuyin Ling being a teacher at the Thug Academy, but…"

Han Fei looked at her and said solemnly, "There's indeed something wrong with your Comfort and Nature Technique. Follow me."

The reason why Han Fei quickly recovered his composure was that he felt that this shouldn't be a problem. The Sea Quelling Painting was in his hands, and after a year of cultivation, he had plenty of resources.

Han Fei felt that he didn't need to worry about a mere hundred million points of spiritual energy.

After all, helping her was equivalent to helping himself.

Furthermore, he had to help her. This was also why Han Fei agreed to let her stay. This involved a very serious problem.

Behind the mountain…

Han Fei looked at Jiuyin Ling and said, "You seem to have changed a lot."

Jiuyin Ling smiled faintly. "Yes! Not bad. I know quite a few people in the Heavenly Water Village and have made good friends."

Han Fei's eyelids twitched. "Huh? There are still people worth befriending in the Heavenly Water Village?"

She smiled. "You know her. She's He Xiaoyu! Unfortunately, I didn't spend much time with her. Then, she went to the Scattered Stars Island… By the way, I learned a lot about your childhood!"

Han Fei immediately covered his head. Sigh… With He Xiaoyu's big mouth, what wouldn't she say?

Han Fei nodded and said, "You've become much more sunny and even learned how to be devilish… However, follow me somewhere first."

With a thought, an illusion of the land appeared. Han Fei said, "Give me your hand."

Grabbing her hand, Han Fei stood in the shadow. In the next second, the two of them disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Sea Quelling Painting…

"Master!"

In the void, a pangolin crawled out. This was its innate ability, Void Drill.

The reason why the pangolin arrived as soon as Han Fei appeared was naturally because of the existence of Jiuyin Ling. As a creature in the painting, it would be a failure if it couldn't protect Han Fei in the painting.

When Jiuyin Ling saw the pangolin, she was slightly shocked. "How powerful…"

The moment she entered this space, she became vigilant. A living being could actually tear through the void. This wasn't something ordinary Law Enforcers could do. Even Explorers might not have this ability.

Han Fei smiled and said, "Perfect. Senior Earth Nine, follow me into the Nine Sounds mist."

"Nine Sounds mist?"

She was stunned. "Does it have something to do with me?"

Han Fei smiled. "To be precise, it has something to do with your Comfort and Nature Technique."

Earth Nine said gently, "Comfort and Nature Technique? I remember. In the past, someone seemed to be listening here and created a technique. However, that person didn't walk through the Nine Sounds mist."

Han Fei looked at the blank look on Jiuyin Ling's face and chuckled. "Do you remember what I told you before? Is there something wrong with your Comfort Technique?"

She nodded. Han Fei had said it back then, but it was true that there were no problems with this technique. However, she had no idea what the problem was.

Han Fei pointed at the faint fog in front of him and said, "Let's go! Hold my hand and don't let go."

Han Fei wasn't taking advantage of her. If she was gone after hearing the Nine Sounds, he wouldn't know how to get her back with his current control of the Sea Quelling Painting.

"Woo~"

In the sky, there were a series of sounds. Suddenly, Jiuyin Ling stopped as her face turned extremely pale. Then, she cried. It was unknown what she had seen.

With a thought, Han Fei's voice gradually weakened. Only then did Jiuyin Ling recover, but her body was a little soft and she couldn't stand stably.

It was extremely rare for her to reveal a shocked expression. "What's that sound?"

Earth Nine said leisurely, "This is the real Nine Sounds."

Han Fei said, "In fact, there's no record of it in the Comfort and Nature Technique. He wrote the Nine Sounds as a kind of enlightenment into a technique. In reality, the Nine Sounds are incomplete. Among them, the seven sounds contain the seven emotions, the seven emotions of pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy, fear, fright and thought… And this is why you should experience worldly life."

She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Han Fei. "What are the other two sounds?"

Han Fei said indifferently, "There are two remaining sounds. One is the Voice of the Great Oblivion, and the other is the Voice of Universal Compassion."

There was a blank look on her face as she muttered, "Great Oblivion? Universal Compassion?"

Han Fei took a deep breath and said, "When I saw these Nine Sounds, I knew why your Comfort Technique Art didn't explain it directly. It's because ordinary people can't achieve the Great Oblivion, so the ancestors of the Jiuyin Family infused the essence of the Nine Sounds into the technique to let the descendants who obtain the legacy enter the world… Experiencing all the vicissitudes of life, love, friendship, etc… And in the end, leave the world, forgetting all these emotions, and achieving the Great Oblivion. Once you do it, the growth of your strength will be terrifying…"

Jiuyin Ling's body trembled, and a hint of horror finally appeared in her eyes. She looked at Han Fei. "Will I forget everything when I reach the state of Great Oblivion?"

Han Fei shook his head. "It's not to forget everything, but to see through everything. For example, if you and I fall in love, if you have a true friend, then the only way for you to reach Great Oblivion was to kill me and your friend. Only by abandoning love and ignoring friendship can you reach the Great Oblivion state."

Jiuyin Ling instantly turned pale. She hurriedly retracted her hand and gritted her teeth. "I don't want it. I… I don't want to reach that state."

Earth Nine suddenly said, "According to Master, this barrier should be the Explorer barrier. Once one reaches the state of Great Oblivion, they can become an Explorer. Furthermore, their strength will increase rapidly. Even the barrier of the Venerable realm might not be able to withstand this improvement."

Han Fei was stunned for a moment and looked at Earth Nine in surprise. "The Great Oblivion state can even break through to the Venerable realm?"

Earth Nine pondered for a moment before saying, "It's possible."

Suddenly, a tree branch extended out of the void as the Tree Spirit's voice sounded, "There's great horror inside. To extinguish one's emotions, one has to be a devil first. Therefore, after the sound of Great Oblivion, the sound of Universal Compassion is needed to allow cultivators to gain an epiphany."

Han Fei muttered, "Become a devil with one thought and become Buddha with another. This Comfort and Nature Technique is even more terrifying than I imagined!"

As for Jiuyin Ling, she was dumbfounded.

In other words, if she were to date Han Fei, the final result might be that she had to kill Han Fei with her own hands.

The true meaning of the Comfort Technique was to love someone with all your heart. But then the more you loved, the more sad you would be. However, once this threshold was crossed, how could she extinguish her emotions? If she killed the love of her life, what could be more heartless than this?

She staggered. "I… I can't stay at the Thug Academy. Han Fei, send me away. I won't see you again…"

"Alas!"

In the void, the branch transformed into a human figure as the Tree Spirit appeared.

Tree Spirit sighed leisurely. "According to Master, there's no turning back the moment you cultivate the Comfort Technique. Your heart already belongs to someone. You can either fall in love with Master, but you definitely can't improve yourself. However, I believe that at that time, you won't be able to control the increase in your strength, so you and Master will definitely be enemies. Or, as you said, you will leave Master and never see him again. However, it's impossible for your strength to surpass the Law Enforcer realm in this life. Furthermore, this will become a demon in your heart. There's a certain chance that you'll suffer a backlash."

The more Tree Spirit spoke, the paler her face became.

She had come to the Thug Academy happily, but how could she know that such a secret was awaiting her?
