Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: Not Used to Their Sincere Emotions

Though the others couldn’t comprehend the intricacies of the situation, seeing Han Yan’s expression, they guessed how rare the Moon Shadow Orchid must be, and they looked at Gong Hongru with faces full of gratitude.

”Alright, alright, why are you all staring at me? Hurry up and take the herbs, then cultivate well to absorb their power. Your talents are unique, and I don’t want to instruct you too much, lest it affects your pursuit of your own Sword Dao in the future.

However, this Moon Shadow Orchid has the effect of clearing meridians and washing marrow, much stronger than the usual so-called Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, which is greatly beneficial to you, so don’t waste it.” Gong Hongru, not used to such genuine expressions from the disciples, waved his hand and said impatiently.

Only then did Han Yan realize that the use of the Moon Shadow Orchid was this — it had been gone so long that there were no records in the ancient books. However, this use seemed meaningless to her.

”Perhaps I shouldn’t take it. I just had my meridians cleared and marrow washed in the Illusion Dragon Hall,” Han Yan said. In her opinion, taking this Moon Shadow Orchid would indeed be a waste.

”What do you know? Do you think this clearing and washing are the same as yours?” Gong Hongru glared at Han Yan and reprimanded.

”Is there a difference?” Han Yan asked, puzzled.

The others also looked at Gong Hongru with curiosity.

”Alright then, since we’ve come to this, I’ll explain it to you. The past of the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Continent, some of you might know, some might not. Those who don’t know, don’t interrupt, go ask someone else.” Gong Hongru, always lazy, first blocked Tan Yu and the others before continuing.

As for Han Yan and Huayue, they already knew about this, so they just listened quietly to what came next.

”The Holy Court Continent’s laws are incomplete, and the Heaven and Earth Power is fragmented. Your previous meridian clearing and marrow washing were actually incomplete. If you were to cultivate normally, it wouldn’t matter, but if you wish to advance beyond the Holy-grade, you must have complete Heaven and Earth Power and Heaven and Earth Rules. You would inevitably need to go to the North Abyss Misty Plain, or find other space fissures, because the mighty force of the colliding Heaven and Earth Power from the Divine Continent is extremely dangerous.

The Moon Shadow Orchid grows in the North Abyss Misty Plain, possessing both kinds of rules and Heaven and Earth Power. By using it for clearing meridians and washing marrow, you can adapt in advance, making future ventures to the North Abyss Misty Plain less perilous and more efficient.” Gong Hongru continued to explain.

”We might never advance to the Holy-grade in our whole lives; isn’t taking the Moon Shadow Orchid a waste? Forget it, Master, you should take it back.” Yu Shulin Feng and his brother only just realized the wonder of the Moon Shadow Orchid and guessed how precious it was, sticking out their tongues and handing the wooden box back.

”You worthless lot! Don’t you know your own identity by now? You are my Gong Hongru’s disciples’ grandsons. If you can’t even reach Sword Saint, wouldn’t that be a total disgrace to me? Quickly keep it and cultivate well! If I don’t see any of you reach Sword Saint before I die, I’ll hold my last breath to smack you all dead!” Gong Hongru criticized furiously, disappointed yet caring.

”Oh, we’ll cultivate, cultivate diligently.” Yu Shulin Feng and his brother, with faces paling, held their heads, as though afraid Gong Hongru might smack them then and there.

”And you, stop overthinking and take the Moon Shadow Orchid obediently. After all, it was meant for you in the first place. We only picked a few more seeing there were several, but yours is the oldest and the most potent.

Take it, and in a few days, you’ll have more assurance when you head to the Secret Realm.” Gong Hongru said earnestly to Han Yan, ignoring the two foolish fellows.

”Oh, Master, what’s in the Secret Realm?” Han Yan asked curiously.

Having defeated Jiang Qiling and won the crown of this newcomer trial, the next step was the Secret Realm trial, seeking the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate. However, till now, she knew nothing about the Secret Realm or its relation to the Moon Shadow Orchid.

”Long Yan Academy has three major Secret Realms. The other two are similar to the Illusion Dragon Hall, except with more abundant Heaven and Earth Power and clarified rules, more beneficial for cultivation.

But the third Secret Realm has been sealed for a hundred thousand years. What’s inside, even I, and probably even the Lord of the Academy, don’t clearly know. Because all those supreme geniuses who ventured in a hundred thousand years ago perished.

We only know one thing: this Secret Realm brims with the Heaven and Earth Power of both the Holy Court and Divine Continents. While it may not be as perilous as the North Abyss Misty Plain, it’s not much safer either.” Gong Hongru said slowly.

”Why not go in and take a look?” Han Yan wondered aloud. With the capabilities of Gong Hongru and the other leaders of Long Yan, even if this Secret Realm was as perilous as the North Abyss Misty Plain, they could retreat unscathed. So why not go and have a look?

”First, there’s a seal on this Secret Realm that opens only once every ten thousand years. We’re not that old yet.

Second, the seal restricts power levels. Holy-grade experts cannot enter. While forcefully breaking the seal might work, the entire Long Yan Academy could be destroyed.” Gong Hongru explained.

”I see,” Han Yan finally understood.

”Wouldn’t that mean sending Master to his death? Forget it, Master, you’d better not go.” Gu Yushu advised.

Han Yan smiled but said nothing.

The Heavenly Destiny Star Plate is still in the Secret Realm. How could she not go? If she wants to become a true powerhouse, she must face such dangers. If she shirked this opportunity out of fear, she would be abandoning her heart as a strong individual, destined to a mundane life.

A rebirth, is it to end in mediocrity and leave regrets in both lives? No, Han Yan could never make such a choice.

Seeing Han Yan smile silently, Gu Yushu became more anxious, wanting to persuade her again, but after considering it, he closed his mouth. Spending time together, they all realized how steadfast Han Yan’s determination was and that she would never give up such a fantastic opportunity because of a few words of advice.

Even though his abilities were limited, and he didn’t even know the proper way to practice excellent cultivation techniques, he understood that although the Secret Realm was fraught with danger, it also held numerous opportunities.

Otherwise, why would Master risk himself to pick the Moon Shadow Orchid for her? Clearly, even Master holds great hopes for Han Yan. If she were to give up now, even Master would feel disheartened.
