Even though he had felt fatigued when checking Zhi Ling’s bloodline concentration before, he now felt directly dizzy, likely due to extreme exhaustion of spiritual power.
However, Lin Yi was extremely excited. He didn’t expect the Eye of Emptiness, coupled with Compassionate Karma, to have such amazing effects.
In this way, he could discover whose hatred for him was greater, and who was a sincere friend.
He also speculated about the scene he had just seen: after the evildoer’s death, the karma lines didn’t disappear instantly. This remaining karma could be exploited by others.
If a cultivator proficient in divination came here, they might calculate the karma of the evildoer’s death and infer his appearance from it.
He estimated that the deeper the cultivation level, the longer the remaining karma would exist after death.
Of course, deducing karma is not that simple. There are very few cultivators in the Cultivation World who are proficient in divination, let alone that deducing karma involves a hefty cost.
Lin Yi then took a Rebirth Charm and performed a rebirth ritual on the evildoer, gaining some Virtue Points. Then, he took several pills to restore his divine sense or spiritual power, and flew off on his sword.
On the way back, he figured out a way to deal with divination of karma – to change his virtual identity before killing.
A virtual identity, created by titles, is inherently nonexistent, so it won’t harbor any karma.
Soon, Lin Yi returned to the Liu Yun Sect on his sword. The entire process of killing the evildoer had gone smoothly, encountering no mishaps.
Perhaps in the eyes of cultivators of other sects, since he had undergone the secret realm teachings, he no longer had any secrets.
That was also what he had expected: as long as he didn’t leave the premises of Liu Yun Sect, hardly anyone would wage a major battle against him because it wasn’t worthy.
In the cave mansion of Golden Sword Peak, Lin Yi again wore two titles and activated the Eye of Emptiness. With his focus gathering, he could see some lines appearing on his body.
Most were blue, some were gray, and he found a pale pink line. He touched his nose; this color was slightly ambiguous.
Not long after that, he once again felt dizzy, even more strongly than the last time.
Lin Yi quickly closed the Eye of Emptiness, consumed several pills to restore his divine sense, but the dizziness only slightly lessened and didn’t disappear completely.
This made him confirm that he shouldn’t view karma excessively in one day.
He meditated for a while, and when the dizziness disappeared, the thought of those karma lines made him excited.
The biggest gain from removing the evildoer this time was the discovery of the linkage between the Eye of Emptiness and the title of karma.
These lines probably represented the karma of Golden Sword Peak. To view the whole Liu Yun Sect’s and even Cultivation World’s karma with his current spiritual strength was seemingly impossible.
According to his analysis, the blue lines probably represented normal good feelings, like the friendship between disciples, while the gray ones, some minor jealousy without hatred.
However, there were very few white karma lines, representing normal karma, so they were ignored.
The pink karma line, if not unexpected, would represent certain admiration for him. Considering the direction of the line, it came from Gold Jade Peak where Second Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu was. It was probably Xu Zhi Wu’s daughter Xu Yu Rou.
Lin Yi had a bright smile on his face. The Eye of Emptiness was simply too powerful. With the ability to see karma, those who harbored malice against him had nowhere to hide.
If he had the chance, he wanted to see how the foreign Golden Core Real Persons, Hua Yang Zhen Ren and Wan Jun Zhen Ren, were related to him in terms of karma.
Based on the principle of power, he’s now in the Golden Core Realm. There should be no problem in inspecting the cause and effect of his own challenges with a Golden Core Real Person.
Shortly after, Lin Yi gathered his thoughts and rubbed his head. Even after taking a pill to restore his divine sense, his head still hurt. If he were to inspect the cause and effect again, his divine sense would certainly be damaged.
From this perspective, the number of times he should inspect the cause and effect in a day must not exceed twice.
So it was that a few days later, at the Cave Mansion of Golden Sword Peak, Lin Yi welcomed his first batch of students for instruction; a total of thirty disciples from five peaks of the Golden Core.
Most of them were new faces. The Qi Refining Disciples who had entered the Secret Realm more than ten years ago were not among them, presumably, they had already succeeded in foundation establishment.
Those who were able to enter the Secret Realm, were all outstanding disciples from various Peaks. At that time, they were all at the Large Completion of Qi Refining, and in more than ten years, it would be impossible not to break through the foundation establishment.
The disciples from various Peaks were led by a Foundation Building cultivator. Last time, disciples from the Ten Major Sects were all taught together, naturally attracting some Golden Core Real Persons to watch.
Now, only the disciples of Liu Yun Sect were receiving instruction, and those Golden Core Real Persons had nothing to worry about, and their curiosity had subsided.
These thirty disciples, under the guidance of the foundation-building cultivators from each Peak, entered Lin Yi’s Cave Mansion and took their seats.
Subsequently, those foundation-building cultivators bowed to Lin Yi, left the Cave Mansion, and left Golden Sword Peak. Today was their first visit, bringing the disciples to familiarize themselves with the path. They wouldn’t waste time sitting around here.
Lin Yi looked at the disciples below, aside from two disciples of Divine Fire Peak, the rest had all obtained his tutelage for free. He slowly said, “Students, hello, I am Lin Yi of Golden Sword Peak, and also the instructor of this Secret Realm session.”
The thirty disciples stood up without hesitation, clasping their fists to Lin Yi, wearing expressions of respect, “Greetings, Uncle Master Lin.”
Before coming, they all had heard more or less about the exploits of this Uncle Master Lin. He became a direct disciple even with lower-grade spiritual roots, and now, he had reached the fifth layer of foundation establishment. Among the Golden Sword Peak, he has the reputation of a Cultivation Madman, clearly showing his diligence.
Lin Yi nodded solemnly, and said, “You are the first batch of disciples to receive instruction. Meanwhile, except for two students from Divine Fire Peak, the rest have agreed to my conditions and come here for free.”
“Therefore, before we start the classes, I want to stress that if you do not want to share these experiences in the Secret Realm, you can speak up now. I am giving you another chance to choose, and participate on the basis of merit.”
“If you agree to my conditions but fail to fulfill your promises in the Secret Realm, and I find out, there will be very serious consequences.”
“Now, does anyone want to change their choice?”
All the disciples below were silent for a moment, but apart from the two contributing disciples from Divine Fire Peak, the others started to bow, “Reporting back to Uncle Master, I will not change my choice, I am willing to contribute my part.”
This Uncle Master Lin could have taken advantage of this situation to gain a lot of merit, but he still chose to help his elder brother achieve the final hope.
They were very respectful of this decision and felt the deep bond between the brothers of Golden Sword Peak. They were very willing to help fulfill this hope.
Lin Yi nodded gently, “Good, sit down. I trust your promises. This is also my elder brother’s last hope, I am entrusting you all with it.” After speaking, he bowed to hundreds of disciples below the stage.
The disciples who had just sat down, seeing Lin Yi’s movement, quickly stood up and returned the bow.
Lin Yi tapped the table and said, “Alright, now we are officially starting this session of instruction. According to some of the information available on the Secret Realm, and my judgment, the Guardian Beast of the Secret Realm might be changed this time. It is possibly not the green giant python from last time, instead, it could be a golden spirit ape and a white spirit deer.”
Every time the Secret Realm is opened, the Guardian Beasts would rotate. However, when the Xuan Tian Realm was opened last time, the green python and the golden ape discussed and decided that the green python would continue to guard.
Later, after the opening of the Xuan Tian Realm, the golden ape regretted its decision and fought the green python for the position of guarding. Now, when it’s the turn of the Heng Yuan Realm to open, it should be the green python’s turn.
However, the golden ape missed the opportunity during the last opening of Xuan Tian Realm and, after some friendly negotiation with the green python, continues to claim possession of the guard position this time.
