Toward the end, the Blade Warrior obviously intensified his tone. Feng Yi was fine in every aspect except that his heart was too reckless. Regarding the Curse Seal, she herself didn't have much research on it, only warning Feng Yi that since it was a forbidden technique, its effects must be extraordinary. Coupled with the fact that it forcibly broke through seals to enhance one's realm, it could likely cause massive backlash damage; thus, he must be careful. As for a solution, all she could do was to try a scientific approach.
Feng Yi asked, "What do you plan to try?"
"Of course, I'll try based on your physical condition using a scientific approach. For now, that's the only way to explain it. Remember to send me a full body examination report when you get a chance."
Feng Yi broke into a sweat. "Didn't you say that this kind of problem is difficult to solve with science…"
"That's why I said we'll try to solve it using scientific methods." She stretched lazily and explained softly, "You've seen horror movies, right?"
"Horror movies—like what?"
"Like 'The Grudge,' where the curse is triggered under specific conditions and mechanisms and will keep changing in you as time passes. This change may seem trivial but can amplify like a virus again and again... It can also be said to invisibly alter your magnetic field—of course, this is just a metaphor. After all, metaphors are false and not so mystical, but in many cases, we can still achieve a mitigating effect through indirect factors—right, do you know what Curse Seal it is, who the caster is, and the specific time and so on..."
"The specific name of the Curse Seal is unknown. The caster might be from an Ancient Martial Arts sect called Jade Clear Sect, and as for the timing..." Feng Yi thought for a moment. The timing was indeed a bit distant, so much so that he wasn't sure when it was. Guessing it was at least half a year ago wouldn't be too far off, right? At that time, the FCA Alliance was still united in a common cause...
When the Blade Warrior heard 'Jade Clear Sect,' he instantly got restless and demanded, "You're saying it's the Jade Clear Sect?"
"I think so, but I'm not absolutely certain."
"What do you mean 'think so'? This is critical. If the Jade Clear Sect made their move, I can assure you that the move you fell victim to is not a curse. It's probably some other Yin-Yang technique. Tell me about their traits, such as their moves and attack methods."
So Feng Yi started to relay what he roughly knew about Mengdie to the Blade Warrior, including the Ice Dragon, Ice Lock, Ice Needle, and some other strange and unique moves. The most terrifying thing was Mengdie's unparalleled speed. Of course, there were others like Mingfei and some other formidable figures, but Feng Yi could not name them—he could only recognize Mengdie.
"Hmph, Butterfly Dance Jade Purity Technique, huh? How can a Mage with a water element who specializes in healing be known for speed?" Upon hearing this, the Blade Warrior smirked as if he had seen through something and revealed a knowing smile, "That Mengdie must be quite attractive then."
"You're not wrong, but how do you know that?" In fact, what Feng Yi really wanted to say was more than just attractive—she was stunning!
The Blade Warrior said, "To put it in an old saying, if water and wood complement each other, beauty and grace will naturally follow. The cycle of mutual generation and restraint goes on and on. Because there is wood, water can be pinpoint controlled; because there is water, mutual enhancement can occur."
That's too subjective. Feng Yi was completely at a loss and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Don't underestimate me, you brat. Having been an inventor and creator for a few hundred years, I'm at least half a Mage in alchemy. Qian (Metal), Xun (Wood), Kun (Earth), Li (Fire), Kan (Water)—Xun stands for wind and belongs to wood. That Mengdie must be a Yin-Yang Mage born of water and wood."
"You seem to know even more than Eggy."
The Blade Warrior laughed. "I'm not like Eggy, that kid with the intelligence of a seven-year-old. Let me educate you on some knowledge in this area—let's talk about the Jade Clear Sect which uses yin-yang techniques as its mainstay, the Nangong Family specializes in pupil and Illusion Techniques, Yanhuang Soul is the orthodox Ancient Martial Arts incorporating the essence of various arts, Holy Hall is a branch of the Western church papacy, and Tianyin Sect belongs to pure orthodox practitioners, being enemies with both Nangong Family and Jade Clear Sect."
The Blade Warrior then went on to explain in detail the relationships between these Ancient Martial Arts factions, citing an old adage: "With true martial valor and benevolence throughout ancient and modern times, Yanhuang Soul stands supreme; when questioning who lies at the heart of Ancient Martial Arts, one glance at the storm leaves all in emptiness." In plain terms, the so-called storm was the tempestuous might wielded by Feng Yi, a branch lineage of Yanhuang Soul.
Aside from her, a living fossil, and those ancient martial arts clans, probably no one else knew this, right? But after all, the prowess of others is just that—belonging to others. Many things still require one to blaze a new trail, or else one is bound to reach an impasse eventually.
Upon hearing these words, Feng Yi felt as if he had been struck by a sudden revelation. He had been stalled in the Legendary Realm for so long that he couldn't remember how long, whereas the Blank Paper Realm was something he comprehended on his own. Suddenly, Feng Yi seemed to understand something.
He continued to listen as the Blade Warrior slowly introduced the next topic—Jade Clear Sect. According to the Blade Warrior, this Jade Clear Sect could be said to be the most mysterious of the five major factions, their most distinct trait being that their male disciples were tall and burly, while their female disciples were as beautiful as flowers. Though this might seem subjective, the Jade Clear Sect did indeed place great emphasis on talent, often selecting disciples who had prominently strong attributes in their life forces—simply put, either purely fire attributes or purely water attributes. While not always the case, such people did tend to look distinct from ordinary individuals.
