For a while, Zhao Chen didn't cause any trouble. He spent almost all his time reading various classics from the Yin Yang House.
The Yin Yang House's five departments—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—each had their corresponding secret manuals. In addition, there were the cultivation techniques of Xinghun, the Left and Right Protectors, and Dong Huang Taiyi.
It could be said to be a comprehensive collection.
Not only that, but there were also the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book given to Zhang Liang by Chu Nan Gong, as well as the Yin Yang House's Yin Yang doctrines and so on.
It opened Zhao Chen's eyes.
However, reading through all of them was simply too slow.
So many bamboo slips were truly a torture.
How long would it take to read through all of them!
Zhao Chen was incredibly distressed.
Fortunately, he had Xiaomeng, Xiao Yi, his sister Yan Fei, and his sister Yue Shen to keep him company every day.
He didn't feel so troubled.
“Master, the great master Guiguzi has finished compiling the dictionary. Please, Master, take a look!” Zhao Gao presented the dictionary to his master.
Looking at the thick, paper-bound book, Zhao Chen's head grew large.
“I won't read it. Just follow what Teacher wrote!”
“This servant understands! If there's nothing else, this servant will retire!”
“Wait, Zhao Gao, who is in charge of the Luo Net now?”
“Reporting to Master, the Luo Net is now under this servant's management. However, Your Majesty said that the Luo Net will be under Master's control in the future. This servant is only managing it temporarily.”
“I see. The Luo Net has a Heaven-ranked assassin named Jingni, right?”
“Yes, Master. Is there anything you want her to do?”
“Nothing, I was just asking. Alright, you can leave if there's nothing else!”
“This servant takes his leave!”
After Zhao Gao left, Yan Fei asked casually.
“Master, are you interested in that Jingni?”
“No, I was just casually asking.”
“It’s said that Jingni is not only a Heaven-ranked assassin, but also a beauty. Those long legs are very alluring. Don’t you want to…”
Yan Fei looked at Zhao Chen seductively.
(⊙o⊙)…(⊙o⊙)…
Sister Yan Fei, do you know what you’re saying?
Am I a lecherous man?
“Sister, am I that kind of person?”
Yan Fei nodded.
Zhao Chen gave her a roll of his eyes and turned to look at Yue Shen.
“Sister Yue Shen.”
“Master, you have four of us to serve you now. You can’t be greedy!”
“Ha!!”
“I’m going to read!”
He fled in a panic.
“Little Brother Chen, the Daoist classics have been sent to your room. Remember to read them!!” Xiaomeng called from behind.
“I know!!”
“Hehe!”
“Haha!”
…………
On the other side, after serving Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao returned to his mansion and immediately called the Six Sword Slaves.
“Where is Jingni now?”
“Sir, you sent Jingni to Wei to go undercover and assassinate Wei Wuji. She should be in Wei now.”
“Inform Jingni to abandon the assassination of Wei Wuji and return quickly.”
“This subordinate will go immediately!”
“Right, have you found all the people His Majesty asked you to find?”
“Sir, we have found a few of them. We are still searching for the others.”
“Hm, find them quickly and bring them back to Xianyang. They are the talents His Majesty needs the most. Also, make sure to confirm the identities of those who need to be assassinated. Better to kill the wrong person than to let one go. Understand?”
“This subordinate understands!”
“Go down.”
“This subordinate takes his leave!”
The hall fell silent. “Jingni, my ability to climb up to the Master's side depends entirely on you.”
It was obvious that Zhao Chen had only mentioned it casually today, but Zhao Gao had taken it to heart.
It could only be said that Zhao Gao was indeed perceptive to have gained the favor of the Qin Emperor.
………………
Zhao Chen arrived at his study.
The number of books here had nearly doubled.
The sheer number of Daoist classics even surpassed the Yin Yang House.
Looking at the entire room filled with bamboo slips, Zhao Chen regretted not creating paper sooner.
How long would it take to read through all of them!
Forget it, for the sake of the future, for the sake of becoming stronger, I'll read them!!
Picking up a bamboo slip, Zhao Chen once again immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.
The Genius buff worked at full capacity.
Zhao Chen absorbed and comprehended various knowledge and martial arts.
When he saw the Daoist Classic "The Great Treatise on Response and Induction",
Zhao Chen had another epiphany.
【You have read "The Great Treatise on Response and Induction", gaining another epiphany. You have successfully comprehended the power of the heart. Humans are the spirits of all things. The spirit, energy, and soul of a person can manifest powerful forces.
Once powerful, they can even resonate with others to a certain degree and have the effect of influencing and enlightening all living beings.
However, because it is so unique and powerful, it is difficult for anyone to fully understand the true power contained in this Classic!】
This is…?
Zhao Chen began to carefully experience the power of the heart. His consciousness instantly entered a different space.
In this space, the universe and stars lay at his feet.
The heart is the universe.
The microcosm and the macrocosm were all at Zhao Chen's fingertips.
This was different from entering the inner world of Qi Men Dun Jia. This time, Zhao Chen felt both vastness and minuteness.
The power of the heart is truly wondrous.
But what use is it?
Could it be that I can now observe the truths of the universe at any time?
Suddenly.
【You have used the power of the heart to observe the mysteries of the universe. The microcosm and the macrocosm can both be displayed at your fingertips. You have had another epiphany, simplifying the power of the heart's cultivation method to instant perception. You have also comprehended a way to use the power of the heart—Pointing of Spirit.
By using your own power of the heart to gather at your fingertips, you can point out and enlighten all things, transform living beings, and grant them intelligence.】
？？？？？
What's going on?
Isn't this Pointing of Spirit the legendary technique of enlightening?
Thinking about those gods who enlightened living beings and granted them wisdom, Zhao Chen exclaimed in awe.
Should I try it on Xiaobai?
Wait!!
Who says enlightening must be done on living creatures?
If it's possible to enlighten inanimate objects, then…
Thinking this, Zhao Chen looked at the bamboo slips in front of him.
If I could enlighten them, wouldn’t I need to read them one by one anymore?
Zhao Chen pointed his finger at the bamboo slips in front of him. Light surged from his fingertips, and he pointed out.
Wave…………
An invisible wave of mental power swept across the bamboo slips on the table.
Because this was the first time Zhao Chen used it, and because his power of the heart was still weak.
Just the bamboo slips on the table drained his mental power.
However, something magical happened.
That mental power began to sprout. In Zhao Chen's eyes, the characters on the bamboo slips began to glow, like little light elves, breaking free from the constraints of the bamboo slips and flying up.
They circled around Zhao Chen.
【You have used your mental power to enlighten the books. Three thousand gray-haired scholars spend their entire lives studying the scriptures. The Dao is limitless. Learning is limitless. With a finite life, they seek the infinite Dao, which cannot be exhausted. Only with a finite life, day and night, do they diligently learn and practice, exhausting their energy. Perhaps they can comprehend one or two aspects of the Dao.
You have had another epiphany, gaining the ability to hear the sound of the Dao. You can listen to the voices of any books you have enlightened.】
Zhao Chen:……………………
He jolted and almost jumped up.
“What, what, I can actually hear the voices of the books? So does that mean I don't have to read them anymore?”
“Just enlighten the books and listen to their voices? That’s great. No, I have to try it.” Zhao Chen thought excitedly.
Please give me some flowers, monthly tickets, and other data!!
