Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 710: Exposing the Mole, Simulating the Future!

Hun Qianxue nodded, his eyes open and sincere:

“Yes, once you confirmed that there were no issues with the secret guards in this room today, I already had a few guesses. You should have some special method, or perhaps the unique sensing ability of a Cultivator of the Way of Laws, which allows you to discern the thoughts and stances of others. I have never heard of any Eternal Dao Lord being able to do such a thing, but none of that is important now. What matters is that I believe you have this ability.”

He paused for a moment and then continued:

“Of course, this is an unreasonable request of mine. You can choose not to help with this, and I will still do my best to ensure your safety; I won’t waver because of it. The fact that you are willing to tell me this news is already a massive favor.”

“Alright.”

Han Xuanji thought for a moment and nodded. For him, having Hun Qianxue secure his position as the Family head would be of great help. He currently needed Hun Qianxue’s protection to better Sign In and develop.

However, Han Xuanji also had his own concerns:

“I can help you.”

He then held up a finger and calmly added:

“However, there is one condition: this ability of mine must not be leaked. What is said in this room today must be limited to the three of us. No matter what happens in the future, and no matter how others speculate, not a single word can escape your lips. I will not interfere with any of Brother Hun Qianxue’s plans, nor do I need to explain the basis of my judgments to anyone. I am only responsible for telling you who the mole is.”

Although Han Xuanji believed the two of them wouldn’t reveal the secret, he still required a guarantee.

Hun Qianxue said solemnly:

“I swear by my true spirit that Hun Qianxue will never leak a single word of what Han Xuanji says or does today. If I violate this, may my true spirit crumble and my Dao laws be completely destroyed.”

Hun Qianling also raised her hand:

“I, Hun Qianling, also swear never to reveal a single detail to anyone. If I violate this, my true spirit shall likewise crumble.”

“Mhm.”

Han Xuanji nodded, and the few of them began to discuss the plan.

…

Over the following days, under the pretext of letting Han Xuanji get to know some of the Family Seniors, Hun Qianxue arranged for Han Xuanji to meet several core figures of the Hun Family.

These meetings seemed very casual on the surface—sometimes drinking tea in a side hall, sometimes chatting in a small study next to the Family Discussion Hall, and sometimes Hun Qianxue would even take Han Xuanji along while inspecting the Family businesses.

Everything was done flawlessly; no one could see anything out of the ordinary.

Han Xuanji just sat quietly to the side, listening to them talk and occasionally taking a sip from his teacup, like a well-behaved junior.

But his System was operating silently.

With every person he met, their deeply hidden thoughts, stances, and secrets would turn into strings of cold text before Han Xuanji.

These things that others could not see had nowhere to hide in Han Xuanji’s eyes.

After several rounds, he had vetted almost the entire core circle around Hun Qianxue.

The results were better than he had expected.

Most people were loyal, but there were indeed those who harbored thoughts of betraying Hun Qianxue. The first was a trusted manager under Hun Qianxue. To achieve a Breakthrough, this person had taken on a large amount of external debt but failed the Breakthrough and was unable to repay it. To fill the hole, he had already secretly passed information to Hun Cangfeng three times.

There was another person who had been under Hun Qianxue for tens of thousands of years; he secretly hated Hun Qianxue because of the death of his Dao Companion.

Years ago, his Dao Companion had met with misfortune while on a mission. He always believed that the team leader had abandoned his Dao Companion to save himself, and that leader was Hun Qianxue.

Truth be told, this matter really had nothing to do with Hun Qianxue; after all, Hun Qianxue had nearly died himself back then and simply had no strength left to protect everyone.

But this person’s hatred had long been noticed by Hun Cangfeng, who exploited it as if it were a precious treasure.

As for a few others, they didn’t have much malice; they had simply accepted a large amount of benefits and were fence-sitters betting on both sides.

They wouldn’t normally betray Hun Qianxue, but once the situation turned sour, these fence-sitters would defect to the other side at any moment.

After listening to Han Xuanji’s report, Hun Qianxue stood in the study and remained silent for a long time.

“Alright, I understand.”

He said softly, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue but also a sense of relief.

He reached out to rub his brow and then looked up, his face having returned to its usual composure.

“I’ve troubled you during this time.”

He looked at Han Xuanji with a sincere tone. There was no excessive sentimentality, but Han Xuanji could hear the weight behind those words.

“Leave the rest to me.”

Han Xuanji nodded, asking no further questions and saying nothing more.

What he needed to do was completely finished.

The intelligence was delivered, the moles were exposed, and Hun Qianxue now held all the information he needed.

The remaining planning, netting, and counter-killing were things that a Family head at the level of an Eternal True God should do.

As an Eternal Dao Lord, he didn’t need to interfere or dictate the specific plans.

Given Hun Qianxue’s capabilities, he shouldn’t fail.

“There shouldn’t be any more problems.”

Han Xuanji returned to the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven and let out a long sigh of relief.

The weight that had been pressing on his heart for several days finally lifted.

Now, he could truly focus on preparing for his own affairs.

Of course, if things really did go south, it wasn’t as if he had no backup plan.

Han Xuanji wasn’t too worried about his personal safety. The Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven itself was a True God rank Immortal Cave with strong Restrictions.

Unless a Saint-level expert personally took action, it would be impossible to quietly break through the Restrictions and take his life. When going out, Han Xuanji didn’t fear an ambush from an Eternal True God either; he had signed in for more than just one or two life-saving treasures in the Hun Family treasury.

There was also another path of retreat, which was Xiao Yan. Although the two hadn’t known each other for long, their relationship was decent. As the Divine Son of the Great Sheng Holy Dynasty, it was impossible for the other party to have no power around him. If Han Xuanji sought protection, the other party would likely accept gladly.

However, the favor owed at that time would be immense.

This Karma was not small, and he absolutely did not want to owe that much unless it was a last resort.

“Maybe I can try using the simulation function to predict the future course of events?”

Han Xuanji thought to himself. He hadn’t used the simulation function once since arriving on the Eternal Continent.

Mainly because the consumption was too high; simulating any random person cost over several thousand eternal points.

People related to him would consume even more eternal points, and since he didn’t know what rewards he could get from the simulation, he had never been able to bring himself to do it.

But now, Han Xuanji still intended to simulate once. Primarily to peer into future changes so he could better make plans.

As for the choice of person, Han Xuanji naturally could only choose someone close to him.

Otherwise, the future he obtained wouldn’t have much to do with him, making it even more meaningless.
