This is already a brand-new "Art of Recall," a pursuit Dao Technique at the Outer Building level!
"How is it?" Yu Beidou looked at him with much pride: "This technique is at the peak within the Outer Building level. If there’s a confrontation and the spirit senses it, within three days it will not stop, and it can pursue across thousands of miles! You’ve hit the jackpot, kid!"
To Jiang Wang, this Dao Technique is quite similar to Lin Youxie’s family-inherited "Mind Dust." However, the Mind Dust Technique leaves a mark on the pursuit target, akin to a heart tethered to dust. In contrast, the re-evolved Art of Recall by Yu Beidou imprints recognition of the pursuit target on one’s Spiritual Soul Level, thus forming a spiritual sensing.
In comparison, the Mind Dust Technique is more accurate and can last longer. Meanwhile, the Art of Recall is more covert.
After careful consideration, Jiang Wang nodded and said, "It’s rather good." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
He stood up decisively: "Yu True Man, this is where I take my leave."
"Hey, wait a minute!" Yu Beidou reached out a hand and pulled him back to sit by his side: "You young man, how can you demolish the bridge after crossing it? I haven’t finished speaking yet!" freeweɓnøvel.com
In front of Yu Beidou, Jiang Wang certainly had no room for resistance.
Being pressed to sit beside him, he could only remain seated. However, his voice remained calm, neither humble nor arrogant: "I thought we were dealing with clear transactions, owing nothing to each other."
"Ah!" Yu Beidou displayed a sorrowful face: "It seems you still have opinions about me, holding grudges in your heart!"
"The word ’resentment’ is a bit too heavy," Jiang Wang replied earnestly: "Jiang Wang just has self-awareness, knowing that he doesn’t have the capability to get mixed up in your affairs, and neither does he want to risk his life again. You may have your mission and burdens, perhaps grand and profound, but I have my path to walk as well."
Yu Beidou’s act of subduing the Blood Demon and exterminating the Prime Minister was undoubtedly a righteous action.
But Jiang Wang also has his own life. He has no elders or patron to rely on and must take responsibility for himself.
"I understand." Yu Beidou no longer jested, his gaze fell on a spot not far in front of him: "Actually, I have nothing else to discuss with you. I just wanted to chat for a while, perhaps because of my old age... Or are you in a hurry?"
Jiang Wang remembered that where Yu Beidou’s gaze was fixed was exactly the spot where the Blood Demon and the Diviner had lain before. Of course, there were no traces left now, everything vanished with Yan Chunhui’s single strike.
At this moment, Yu Beidou seemed to strip away his aura of strength, giving off the sense of a solitary old man.
"What do you want to talk about?" Jiang Wang eased his body’s resistance, his posture also relaxed a bit, and said frankly: "Right now, I am having a conversation with you with the goodwill of a junior towards a senior. If during this process there is anything I feel I shouldn’t hear, I will leave immediately. Please understand."
"Once bitten by a snake, shy for ten years of a well rope?" Yu Beidou laughed self-deprecatingly: "People like me are really annoying, aren’t we? Because we can foresee a bit of the future, we manipulate the chessboard recklessly, doing what we think is right without considering others’ feelings... It’s quite annoying, right? It’s inevitable it makes you avoid like the plague."
Jiang Wang thought to himself, this Yu True Man isn’t entirely self-unaware after all.
On the surface, he only said: "It’s my cowardice and caution that have made True Man laugh."
Yu Beidou kept his gaze on that patch of empty ground, unclear whether he was looking at the vanished Blood Demon or the Diviner.
For these two, he seemed equally indifferent.
Yu Beidou didn’t continue this topic but started his story with a question—
"Do you know what the Life Prediction Technique is?"
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and shook his head.
Aside from knowing it’s a very ancient divination technique and that Yu Beidou inherited it, he knew nothing else. He really didn’t know what he could discuss with Yu Beidou about it.
"The Life Prediction Technique is a technique for gazing into the future.
In that very, very old era, there was truly no future to speak of, at least for the human race.
A countless number of humans proliferated in this world.
For millions of years, they wandered aimlessly, living and dying as leaves and blades of grass do.
The spring wind gave rise to life, wildfires consumed it fully.
Generations of humans were born and perished, bringing nothing to this world upon arrival, leaving nothing behind upon departure.
No trace was left upon exit, this went on for millions of years.
Among countless ordinary humans, there was one distinct person who raised his head and took a look.
He saw the remote heavenly light and a slightly different path.
So this person said, should we try and walk in this direction...
This is the origin of the Life Prediction Technique."
Yu Beidou said softly: "That person was called Bu Lian. He was one of Emperor Suiren’s Eight Virtuous Ministers, in charge of the affairs of the Wu Zhu, praying for heaven’s blessings. Because he was the earliest inspirer of Emperor Suiren, he was also called the Human Sovereign Master."
In dividing history by major eras, the movements of time’s Long River are thus — the Ancient Era, the Ancient Era, the Middle Ancient Era, the Near Ancient Era, the Present Age.
Every major era among them is vast and boundless, each can be specifically divided into many smaller eras according to time and events.
For example, the Flying Sword Era and the Immortal Era, both fall under the Near Ancient Era’s grand era.
The Ancient Era was a time when the Demon clan ruled the heavens and the earth, and it is the longest era so far. Its beginning is untraceable, and it is impossible to verify exactly how long it lasted.
At that time, the human race generally had obstructed Dao Veins, and only a very few geniuses could cultivate.
The first-generation Human Emperor, Suiren, rose amidst hardships, protecting the human race, struggling to survive. Beneath him were eight sages assisting, jointly resisting the hostile world.
