Dragon King Hall's Legend

"Poof!"

As a glimpse of the future shattered, Mu Jinyu immediately felt immense pressure and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

The unbearable feeling of chest tightness and dizziness nearly made Mu Jinyu pass out.

In that moment, Mu Jinyu seemed to empathize, being struck by ten thousand bolts of heavenly tribulation simultaneously!

"Buzz!"

It was then that the Mystical Little Tree and Three-Leaf Youlian simultaneously acted, releasing clear Qi to help Mu Jinyu relieve the pressure.

"Huff...hah hah..."

After a long while, Mu Jinyu finally recovered.

He struggled to open his eyelids, his eyes looking weary and weak.

The continuous use of Secret Heavenly Calculation, even with the help of two extraordinary Divine Plants within him, still made Mu Jinyu feel extremely uncomfortable this time.

Feeling as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"It's really hard to deal with! I should use these techniques less in the future!"

Mu Jinyu didn't have much regret, but the long absence of feeling such weakness left him somewhat helpless.

However, the two glimpses into the future were ultimately worthwhile.

He had learned that Xiang Mantang was fine, that they would fight side by side someday, and he knew that Bai Xiaosheng seemed to stand by him in the future, which allowed him to be more at ease.

Of course, the future is unpredictable and uncontrollable.

Only the scene he just glimpsed would likely happen in the future, but it could also be altered due to various butterfly effects and no longer appear.

Nonetheless, it gave him a lot of confidence and allowed him to trust Bai Xiaosheng more.

Of course, Mu Jinyu also suspected that Bai Xiaosheng might have already known he would probe into his future glance and deliberately set up deceptive techniques to make him see the wrong scene, thus gaining his trust.

But when Mu Jinyu thought about it, he still found such deceptive techniques too difficult, even though Secret Heavenly Calculation was given to him by Bai Xiaosheng, he couldn't possibly achieve that.

So, as the saying goes, "A doubtful person should not be used, a doubtful person should not be used," Mu Jinyu decided not to doubt Bai Xiaosheng too much in the future.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Mu Jinyu breathed heavily for a while, feeling a bit thirsty, then he activated Black Emperor Water Emperor Technique, filling the cup on the table beside him with water.

With a wave of his hand, he made the cup fly over, and Mu Jinyu reached out to take the cup, gulping down the water, feeling it was very refreshing and slightly sweet.

In fact, Mu Jinyu could easily have the clear water flow directly into his mouth without bothering to pour it out.

But he felt like he was drinking his own saliva, which seemed weird to him. Life still requires a bit of ritual, so Mu Jinyu often maintained his usual habits.

After drinking the water, Mu Jinyu didn't rush out of retreat.

After all, his body was still a bit weak, and it was apparent his complexion was rather pale. If he went out now, Gu Xiyan and the others would inevitably be concerned.

He planned to recover a bit before leaving retreat.

After that, Mu Jinyu took out Secret Heavenly Calculation once more to carefully study it.

Upon looking again, half a day had passed.

Mu Jinyu had read Secret Heavenly Calculation once more, making him feel quite rewarded, having a sense of gaining new knowledge from past insights.

"Indeed extraordinary, even after finishing, I feel reluctant to return it to Bai Xiaosheng."

Mu Jinyu put away the book, smirking self-deprecatingly.

After that, he looked at himself in the mirror, his complexion had improved, no longer the sickly color of gold paper, resembling the look of recovering from a serious illness, but a bit pale, akin to excessive sleeplessness.

"I've been reading for three days, feeling a bit sleep-deprived, it's normal, right?"

Mu Jinyu chuckled, got up, opened the door, and stepped out of the bamboo house.

The quiet Inner Valley had no activity, Zhou Yi wasn't doing Alchemy, and Gu Xiyan and the others weren't there.

Mu Jinyu stretched lazily, then spread his Divine Sense, enveloping Yinlong Mountain, searching for Bai Xiaosheng's location.

Soon, he found Bai Xiaosheng's True Body already at Yinlong Mountain, sitting in front of a warehouse door in Dragon King Hall, reading a book.

After all, his True Body was connected with a giant stone Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, certainly unable to enter a regular room, not even being able to pass through the door.

It could only be housed in the warehouse.

"Whoosh!"

Mu Jinyu smiled slightly, took a step, and instantly found himself beside Bai Xiaosheng.

"Dragon Master, have you exited retreat?"

Bai Xiaosheng put down the book in his hand, looked up at Mu Jinyu in front of him, and smiled.

His tone carried no surprise, as if he already knew Mu Jinyu would come.

"Yes, I've finished reading Secret Heavenly Calculation, I'll return it to you."

Mu Jinyu took out the book and handed it back to Bai Xiaosheng.

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Bai Xiaosheng's eyes finally showed a look of astonishment.

"Dragon Master, did you say... you've finished reading this book?" Bai Xiaosheng said incredulously, "Only three days have passed..."

He had expected Mu Jinyu might leave retreat during these days, but that was because most people, the first time they read Secret Heavenly Calculation, would become deeply absorbed, nearly unable to pull themselves away. But after about three or five days, they'd usually feel mentally unfit and need to exit retreat to ease up, adjust their mindset before continuing!

In Bai Xiaosheng's view, there shouldn't be anyone in the world capable of finishing reading the profound Secret Heavenly Calculation in about three days!

Even with his exceptional talent, or someone with Heavenly Eye like Li Yaotong, the first time they read Secret Heavenly Calculation, it took five days just to read one-fifth.

For this, they were praised by the former Observatory Master as rare talents in the world.

But Mu Jinyu...

Three days?

Three days to finish reading Secret Heavenly Calculation, a mystical book authored by the great ancestors of Secret Heavenly Pavilion with their lifetime Essence Blood?

This truly made Bai Xiaosheng feel unbelievable.

"Wait, Dragon Master, you wouldn't be glancing casually and haven't fully grasped the book, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng struggled to accept and finally thought of a hypothesis, thus asked.

"I didn't glance casually, I read it seriously. As for fully grasping it, I'm not sure if it counts as thorough, but I felt quite rewarded during the second read."

Mu Jinyu replied.

As he spoke, Mu Jinyu carefully recalled insights from the recent second reading, with various intricate Runes unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

Seeing this, the shock and doubt on Bai Xiaosheng's face instantly solidified.

"Dayan Divine Talisman?"

Bai Xiaosheng inwardly exclaimed.

"Huh..."

Bai Xiaosheng exhaled a deep breath and bitterly smiled, finally managing to accept that Mu Jinyu had truly finished reading Secret Heavenly Calculation in just three days and understood it!

'Indeed, the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead to death on the beach!'

Bai Xiaosheng sighed inwardly with a mix of discomfort.

Years ago, he took more than a month to finish reading Secret Heavenly Calculation, but still couldn't predict heavenly mechanisms through it.

Only three years later did he barely manage to comprehend a bit, allowing him to slightly predict heavenly mechanisms...

Yet Mu Jinyu, just three days, could predict heavenly mechanisms directly after reading!

This person to person comparison truly shouldn't exist!

However, while Bai Xiaosheng's heart was filled with envy for Mu Jinyu's talent, he also felt a sense of relief, knowing his choice wasn't a mistake.

Dragon King Hall would certainly be the strongest support pillar in the coming great era!

With Mu Jinyu's protection, he might not suffer heavenly dao's retribution in the future.
