298: Chapter 298 Seeing Through the Golden Entries

Shen Hu took a step forward and said, "Big brother, let's just lead our men straight to the Heavenly Sword Sect. While his Foundation is still unstable, we can eliminate him in one fell swoop!"

Shen Guhong slowly shook his head, his tone cold and deep. "No. The Heavenly Sword Sect has a profound heritage and many experts. If we act rashly, we'll only alert the enemy. It might even put our Yao Race in a passive position, which would outweigh any gains."

Hearing this, everyone fell into silence, their faces full of frustration. For a moment, they couldn't think of a way to get rid of Hu Nan.

Just then, Gou Feng stepped out slowly from the crowd. He bowed and cupped his fists toward Shen Guhong, his tone respectful yet certain. "Leader, your subordinate has a plan that can eliminate Hu Nan. It won't require our Yao Race to act rashly, and it will end the trouble forever."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes toward Gou Feng, their gazes filled with doubt and expectation.

Shen Guhong also looked over. "Oh? Gou Feng, what strategy do you have? Out with it!"

Gou Feng smiled and said, "Leader, we can contact Soul-Severing Blade's older brother—Soul-Severing Sword."

"Ever since Hu Nan killed Soul-Severing Blade a few years ago, Soul-Severing Sword has hated Hu Nan to the bone, wanting to avenge his brother at every moment."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed looks of realization.

They all knew that the bond between Soul-Severing Blade and Soul-Severing Sword was very deep.

Soul-Severing Sword had been lingering near the Heavenly Sword Sect all this time, precisely because he wanted to kill Hu Nan.

Gou Feng nodded and continued, "Soul-Severing Sword's strength far exceeds that of Hu Nan, who has only just reached Core Formation. Moreover, he shares an irreconcilable blood feud with Hu Nan. As long as we can provide Soul-Severing Sword with an opportunity, he will surely strike Hu Nan down."

Pausing for a moment, a glint of a successful scheme flashed in Gou Feng's eyes as he detailed, "At that time, when Hu Nan holds his Golden Core ceremony, the experts of the Heavenly Sword Sect will surely gather together."

"The Leader only needs to use the excuse of discussing major matters to draw the Heavenly Sword Sect experts away!"

"Soul-Severing Sword can then take the opportunity to slip in and strike at Hu Nan."

"Hu Nan has only just broken through to the Golden Core Realm; his Foundation is unstable, he hasn't fully adapted to the power of a Golden Core, and his combat experience is far inferior to Soul-Severing Sword's. He couldn't possibly be Soul-Severing Sword's match."

Gou Feng's tone was full of confidence. "When the time comes, Soul-Severing Sword will eliminate Hu Nan, and we will reap the benefits as the third party. We'll remove a major threat without exposing our Yao Race—truly killing two birds with one stone!"

Approval also showed in Shen Bing's eyes. She bowed to Shen Guhong and said, "Father, Gou Feng's plan is excellent! Soul-Severing Sword hates Hu Nan to the bone; he will surely agree to act."

"With Soul-Severing Sword's strength, he can definitely eliminate Hu Nan!"

"Leader, this strategy is feasible!"

Many experts of the Yao Race chimed in with their agreement.

Shen Guhong slowly stood up. "Good! We will proceed as Gou Feng suggested! Gou Feng, you shall be responsible for this matter!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Gou Feng responded with a bow.

...

Time flew by like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, ten months had quietly passed.

Over the past year, Qin Changsheng had been cultivating within the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land.

After more than ten months of Cultivation, he had thoroughly stabilized his Golden Core Cultivation. The mana circulated smoothly throughout his body, and he had long since fully adapted to the power and combat rhythm of the Golden Core Realm.

To his surprise, as his Golden Core Cultivation stabilized and his mana became abundant, the power of the Lightning-type Spells and Fire Spells he mastered had also increased tremendously.

Back in the Foundation Establishment period, while his Lightning-type Spells were sharp, they always lacked a bit of majestic power, and his Fire Spells could only barely burn low-level Yao Beasts.

But now, when he activated Lightning-type Spells, arcs of silver-white lightning would take shape with immense power.

When he activated Fire Spells, raging flames would gush out with such intensity that they could burn Early Stage Golden Core Yao Beasts, their power far exceeding that of the past.

The Enhancement of his lightning and Fire Spells undoubtedly brought his combat strength to a higher level and gave him more confidence.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng's Incarnations, Hu Nan and Wang Cheng, also made significant gains.

Over the past year, Hu Nan had given three lectures on Cultivation Insights to the Disciples within the Sect.

Although these Insights were actually instilled into Qin Changsheng by the System,

They were nonetheless genuine Cultivation experiences.

These Cultivation Insights benefited many Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect greatly.

Many Cultivators even had Breakthroughs in their Cultivation.

Hu Nan's prestige within the Sect was also very high.

Whenever the Disciples saw Hu Nan, they would bow very respectfully.

As for Wang Cheng, three months ago, he had found purple cloud grass within the Liuhuo Mountain Range.

With this stalk of purple spirit grass, Qin Changsheng could finally turn in his mission.

But this wasn't what made Qin Changsheng the happiest. Compared to the stabilization of his Cultivation and the Enhancement of his Spells, what truly filled his heart with anticipation and joy was that a new year had arrived.

He knew in his heart that with every new year, he could draw a new Golden Trait.

"Draw Golden Trait!" Qin Changsheng began drawing the Golden Trait without any hesitation.

In the next instant, a dazzling golden light shot up from his body towards the sky, illuminating the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land.

Within the golden light, countless tiny heavenly dao fragments intertwined and gathered, gradually condensing into a clear phantom of a Golden Trait, its body surrounded by a majestic and mysterious aura.

In the next moment, that Golden Trait phantom slowly unfolded, and a line of ancient and powerful characters clearly emerged.

[Insight]

Simultaneously, a virtual attribute panel appeared out of thin air in Qin Changsheng's Sea of Consciousness, presenting all the information of this newly drawn Golden Trait clearly and without any omission.

Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing through them. He sank his mind into his Sea of Consciousness and fixed his gaze on the trait information on the attribute panel, his joy instantly becoming apparent.

[Insight, Golden Trait]

[1: The host can see through all Illusion Arrays and Illusion Arrays. Regardless of the array's grade, the host can instantly perceive the core and flaws of the array, remaining unaffected by its illusions. The host can freely traverse various Illusion Arrays and Illusion Arrays without consuming mana to break them.]

[2: When the host is in combat with an opponent, there is a probability to see through the opponent's weaknesses, including Cultivation flaws, technique deficiencies, physical shortcomings, etc. The probability of Insight increases with the strength of the host's Divine Sense. Once Insight is gained, the host can launch targeted attacks, significantly increasing the win rate of the battle.]

Qin Changsheng carefully studied each characteristic of the [Insight] trait, and a wave of shock rose in his heart.

This trait was practically tailor-made for him, perfectly matching his current needs. Every characteristic could provide immense assistance on his path of Cultivation.

Characteristic 1 would allow him to fear no Illusion Array or Illusion Array. In the future, whether exploring Secret Realms, entering dangerous lands, or dealing with array traps set by enemies, he could handle them calmly, no longer worrying about being confused by arrays and falling into danger.

Characteristic 2 could give him an absolute advantage in combat by seeing through the opponent's weaknesses to achieve a one-strike victory. Especially when facing Yao Race Cultivators, he could strike with precision, increasing his own survival rate.

Qin Changsheng slowly closed his eyes, his mind immersed in the power of the [Insight] trait. A cool sensation instantly swept through his body, flowing through his Meridians to his Sea of Consciousness, making his Divine Sense increasingly sharp.

He tried to activate the power of [Insight] and looked outside the small courtyard. Instantly, he clearly perceived several low-level Illusion Arrays hidden in the distant mountain forest; the cores and flaws of the arrays were clear at a glance.

After testing the Insight trait, Qin Changsheng checked on the status of Hu Nan and Wang Cheng.

At that moment, Hu Nan's figure was on the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, selecting Cultivation Techniques.

However, to Qin Changsheng's surprise, the techniques on the fifth floor were all for single Spiritual Roots and dual Spiritual Roots.

There were no techniques suitable for Five Spirit Roots Cultivation.

Meanwhile, Wang Cheng was inside the Liuhuo Hall.
