Genius Demon Empress - Chapter 33

Chapter 33 - Genuine Stage

Translated by Luxican

Fortune really favors me, Yue Jing Hua looked at the Stone Monument, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Lie SI Si sat in front and was at a critical moment of Enlightenment.

For the inner court students, there was no time limit and the number of Stone Monuments they could try was also unrestricted. Lie Si Si had walked down all the way and tried dozens of Stone Monuments. Finally, she found the technique that was most suitable for her. This mysterious skill was very complicated and required a lot of time to understand. Just when Lie Si Si felt she met a critical moment of enlightenment.

Hundreds of Stone Monuments lit up, dazzling, like the sun in the sky.

Lie Si Si was staring out of her beautiful eyes, not entirely comprehending how such a sudden glare of light could appear.

"Ah," there was a tingling in her pupils, and the Stone Monument in front of her radiated an astonishing brightness. The Stone Monument hit her cheek, she screamed, and her sight went black. She couldn't even see the technique on the Stone Monument before fainting.

Yue Jing Hua had shattered the Stone Monument with her spiritual power.

Ignoring the unconscious Lie Si Si on the ground, Yue Jing Hua's spiritual power swept through like she was having a stroll in the garden, traveling all the way to the third and fourth walls of the Profound Technique Pavilion.

All the Ivory Stone Monuments in the Profound Technique Pavilion shone bright and radiant, the dazzling light illuminated the whole Profound Pearl Imperial Academy.

In the dark night, the Profound Technique Pavilion was like a lighthouse, spreading its light like it was day in a ten-mile radius.

This ray of light lasted for an hour, which should have been the darkest hour of the day.

All the students and teachers of the inner court were awakened.

When the Profound Technique Pavilion was full of light, many searched for Teacher Yao, who was outside the Profound Technique Pavilion, to get an explanation.

"Teacher Yao, what is going on?"

Facing the dean's question, Teacher Yao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his lips were pale.

"Most of the students who entered have already come out, only Lie Si Si is still inside." Teacher Yao was uneasy.

"Lie Si Si of the Lie Family? No wonder. Lie SI Si is brilliant and intelligent. Judging by the situation of the Profound Technique Pavilion, she must have caused this." She Xiang nodded her head, and was very pleased. Lie Si Si was famous in the school, her comprehension ability must certainly be good.

"Dean, this subordinate hasn't finished speaking yet. There is not only Lie Si Si inside, but also the two students of the outer court who you allowed to enter." Teacher Yao said reluctantly, he had a bad feeling.

"Qiu Zi Zi's students? That's a little tricky. With such a strong light, if a student of Profound Human Realm stays too long, they will be blinded for a few days, or even blinded for life, Teacher Yao, you enter Profound Technique Pavilion immediately, and bring the two out first," She Xiang felt a headache upcoming, when she heard about Qui Zi Zi's students.

"Dean, I can't enter the Profound Technique Pavilion. Just when the light appeared, the Nine Palace Array activated automatically. Unless someone breaks-through from the inside, not even a mosquito can fly in, let alone a person," Teacher Yao whispered.

"The Nine Palace Array activated automatically?" Sha Xiang looked at the Profound Technique Pavilion again.

"Dean, it was my fault. In order to make things difficult for the two students of the outer court, I opened the array of the first wall. Perhaps I accidentally activated the other arrays," Teacher Yao dared not conceal it anymore.

"Teacher Yao, you did no wrong. Send someone to block the door of the profound Technique Pavilion immediately. If you are asked by the students or teachers of the reason for this, you tell them that I ordered you to do it. The matter of tonight will not be revealed to the outer world. We will make further arrangements after the students inside safely exit," She Xiang said coldly, looking anxiously at the Profound Technique Pavilion.

Fortunately, there was only one hour left until the key becomes useless and the students will be sent out automatically.

However, what She Xiang and Teacher Yao didn't know was that, one hour was enough time to do many things, especially for a 23rd century female spy, whose brain was comparable to a supercomputer.

Qing Pu was stunned, in half an hour Yue Jing Hua had read all 150 Ivory Stone Monuments.

But regrettably, there were no mysterious techniques suitable for Yue Jing Hua.

She couldn't help but sigh, "What Profound Pearl Imperial Academy, it's simply bait for the naïve." For Yue Jing Hua, who had acquired the Divine Spear Attack technique and the Chaotic Green Lotus Fire, not to mention the Nine Transformations of Fortune's Merit, the ordinary mysterious skills were nothing in her eyes.

In the Rare Calligraphy Heavenly Sea of Consciousness, Qing Pu had a sour taste in his mouth after witnessing this woman who didn't know life or death. Did she really think that the Nine Transformation Technique was rotten cabbage, that could be found everywhere? Despite this, Yue Jing Hua's outstanding memory was astonishing, even Qing Pu thought it was amazing.

Just now, Yue Jing Hua learned 25 kinds of Profound Human Realm Techniques, 10 kinds of Profound Jade Realm Techniques, 7 kinds of Profound Earth Realm Techniques, and 3 kinds of Profound Heaven Realm Techniques. And Yue Jing Hua had only used half an hour. All these skills were memorized and forcibly recorded.

When asked how she did it.

Yue Jing Hua's answer made Qing Pu feel like lightning struck him.

"Simple, you can get one thousand profound pellets for Profound Human Realm Techniques, three to five thousand for Profound Jade Realm, ten thousand for Profound Earth Realm, and one hundred thousand for Profound Heaven Realm Techniques. Just thinking about getting one more profound pellet made me immediately think faster, and remember the techniques," she had earned over 400,000 profound pellets, just this made Yue Jing Hua's eyes turn into crescents.

She had long forgotten the amount taken by Qing Pu.

There was still half an hour left until they had to leave, bored, Yue Jing Hua checked all the Stone Monuments from beginning to end, to see if she had missed anything, after all, the skills she had memorized were all money.

"Huh," Yue Jing Hua had walked back to the first Stone Monument she had left a mark on, and took another look.

The second one? Next to the originally first Stone Monument was another Stone Monument.

Yue Jing Hua concluded that the current first Stone Monument was not originally in the Profound Technique Pavilion, at least neither she nor Sha Man had seen it.

The shape of this new Monument was very special, unlike the rectangular shape of the other Stone Monuments, the body of this Stone Monument was very rough, as if carved by a layman.

In order to be sure, Yue Jing Hua went through all the techniques she had memorized. All 150 techniques of the Profound Technique Pavilion had been turned into memories.

It was unknown, Yue Jing Hua hesitated, and then looked at the fading light of secret key in her hand.

"There is only one chance left for enlightenment, no need to waste it," Yue Jing Hua sat down in front of the Stone Monument, and condensed her mind.

As Yue Jing Hua entered the Stone Monument, her spiritual power was recovered by her, and swept with full force towards the newly appeared rough Stone Monument.

Outside the Profound Technique Pavilion, She Xiang and Teacher Yao who had been waiting for half an hour noticed that the light started to fade.

Soon it returned to the normal darkness, and it was expected that the student had successfully realized enlightenment.

"Ding ---" In the middle of the night, like the twilight bell in ancient temples, a murmur sounded in the Profound Technique Pavilion. The whispering was like a tide, and flushed through body and soul.

When she heard the sound, She Xiang lost her voice: "That is..."

In the outer court, Qiu Zi Zi jumped vigorously onto an ancient tree, and was shocked after looking in the direction of the Profound Technique Pavilion.

"That was, in the Genuine Stage, someone understood the mystery of the Genuine Stage."

Listening to the dean muttering to herself, Teacher Yao asked, "What is the "Genuine Stage", dean?"

"I have only heard about it from the older generation. If the mind of the cultivator enters the state of ecstasy during enlightenment, the metaphysical skill can enter the Genuine Stage, attracting the other Stone Monuments to resonate. There are several levels of enlightenment you can obtain at the Stone Monuments, which are, General, Core, and Genuine Stage. You can train a skill until the Core Stage, at that time you can unleash 100% of its power. Generally speaking, there are extremely few situations where the Genuine Stage can be achieved after the first enlightenment, not to mention that the students inside are only at the Profound Jade Realm. But if the Genuine Stage is reached, it means that 200% percent of the effect can be unleashed." She Xiang ultimately was the head of the Profound Pearl Imperial Academy. After a short time of consternation, she immediately thought of something. "The student who reached Genuine Stage is part of the Profound Pearl Imperial Academy, and probably Lie Si Si of the Lie Family."

As long as she was carefully trained, Lie Si Si's future was limitless. She could even become one of the Yin Yang Realm powerhouses.

The two deans of the Profound Pearl Imperial Academy contemplated about this.

***

In the Profound Technique Pavilion, only the three mysterious students were clear about the situation.

Lie SI Si was unconscious, Sha Man had entered the state of ecstasy, and Yue Jing Hua was shocked. The sound had emanated from the ugly Stone Monument.

This sound was like the sound of a refreshing cool breeze during the scorching heat in Yue Jing Hua's ears. The discomfort caused by the light disappeared, left was only an empty and clear mind.

The last half an hour passed. After a rush of footsteps, a man and a woman entered the Profound technique Pavilion.

Seeing Yue Jing Hua, who was seemingly unconscious, She Xiang and Teacher Yao passed her without batting an eye.

Then they passed the still seated Sha Man, Dean She was a little rejoicing in her heart. She was now sure which student acquired Genuine Stage.

"Lie Si Si!" A broken Stone Monument, blood all over her face. When Lie Si Si, who had passed out, was found, Dean She's feet stagnated, her eyes lingering on the stone debris and Lie Si Si.

The most precious Stone Monument of the Profound Jade Realm had been damaged. And the eyes of the Lie Family member were also seriously injured.

Seeing the situation in front of her, Dean She initial ecstasy turned into anger.

"Dean, did Lie Si Si really realize the Genuine Stage?" Teacher Yao was still confused at the moment.

Bang, She Xiang was very upset, her sleeves flicked, her violent and brutal Profound Qi broke out, and Teacher Yao, who was in front of her sleeves, was too slow to beg for mercy, and was struck by her, his sternum broken.

"One is comatose and one is seriously injured, what do you say?" Dean She Xiang looked at Sha Man, who was at the final moment.

"With Lie SI Si's current situation, the person who achieved Genuine Stage could never be her, as for the comatose one, she is the most famous waste in the city, Yue Jing Hua, the only one who could realize the Genuine Stage is Sha Man." Dean She Xiang decided in her heart and ordered for someone to take Lie Si Si for treatment, and send Yue Jing Hua away.
