Chapter 136: Chapter 82: Tiger Roar Bone Forging Skills!

Shaking Light looked at the youth sitting on the cliff face.

Li Guanyi had leapt down from above, something he wouldn’t have done before Body Casting; even a martial artist with Inner Strength would injure their muscles and bones from such a height. But after Body Casting, with the flow of Inner Qi, his physique had surpassed that of normal humans, leading him to land without any issue.

Li Guanyi saw the steamed buns that Shaking Light was roasting.

He reached out, took one, and then sat down cross-legged in front of the campfire, holding a bag containing various snacks—the types that he had seen Shaking Light eat the most. Shaking Light blinked and said in a calm voice, "I..."

Li Guanyi said, "Stargazing School, you practice simple living, right?"

"Then let’s say I forced you to eat them."

Shaking Light held the snacks, quietly kneeling in front of the fire, taking small bites. After finishing one, she quietly watched Li Guanyi and said in a calm voice, "Did you come to find me because there is something you need help with?"

Li Guanyi said, "No."

"Although I have made a breakthrough, I intended to find General Xue to test my skills, but I had planned to come in a few days."

"Somehow, I suddenly felt like coming here today."

"Maybe the scenery today is very beautiful, and I suddenly thought of you, so I came to find you."

Shaking Light looked at him.

Then she thought for a moment.

She felt that perhaps her curse magic had taken effect.

But the Stargazing Lineage, even being one of the Three Sects of the World, could only glimpse a corner of the Heavenly Mandate. How precisely that Heavenly Mandate would be fulfilled, they could not be certain. Shaking Light carefully wrapped the snacks and placed them in a black jar to keep insects away.

She stood up, dusted the dirt off her knees, and said in a calm voice, "You are going to the secret realm."

"Then please follow me."

Li Guanyi stepped forward and said, "You don’t have to address me so formally every single time."

"It’s too distant."

Shaking Light shook her head, her voice still quiet as she said:

"The East Continent Stargazing School has some recorded principles, stating ’Do not disrupt the mortal world,’ ’Do not bring disaster upon the populace,’ and ’Do not profit through the curse magic of stars.’ These three major taboos are followed by the rules on addressing the White Tiger Sect."

"This rule was set down 800 years ago by that generation of the White Tiger Sect."

"And it was reaffirmed 500 years ago."

"Although I don’t understand the reasoning, if those wiser predecessors have left such rules, perhaps there are reasons."

Li Guanyi was puzzled, "Why?"

The silver-haired girl said, "I don’t know."

"The teacher says that the heart of the Stargazer must be as calm as the water in a stream to reflect the stars in the sky accurately. Eight hundred years ago, during the most crucial Stargazing session, the Shaking Light of that generation allowed ripples in her heart, which scattered the starlight."

"A Stargazer cannot glimpse their own fate; if their heart is unsettled, they will see incorrectly."

"And the cost of Shaking Light’s mistake is always great."

Li Guanyi laughed, shaking his head in disbelief, "Just a name and a title, how could they have such great power?"

Shaking Light turned to look at him, then thought for a moment.

The silver-haired girl took a half step forward, then wrapped her hand around Li Guanyi’s hand. Her voice softened, her gaze as gentle as the wind in spring, and she whispered:

"Big Brother Guan Yi?"

Li Guanyi’s body stiffened.

Then Shaking Light stepped back, releasing her hand.

Her eyes remained as peaceful as the stars, her exquisite beauty emotionless as she nodded, committing the moment to memory, and spoke without disturbance in her cool voice, "Indeed, just as Shaking Light noted down 500 years ago."

"Such a title has an effect on the White Tiger Sect."

"Your heart was unsettled for a moment. Language has magic; in ancient times, people believed that the soul, separated from the body, could be called back by name, and all spells required incantation. The way we address each other can be the initial connection."

"I will follow the ancient agreements to prevent the same tragedies from happening again."

Shaking Light illuminated the path ahead with starlight.

Li Guanyi exhaled, feeling sweat bead on his forehead as he muttered:

"Really, she’s always so quiet, such an address caught me off guard."

Stepping into the water, Shaking Light led the way with starlight, and they returned to the secret realm. Shaking Light left to search for the Stargazing skills practiced by the predecessors of the Stargazing School 500 years ago, while Li Guanyi lifted his Battle Halberd to face General Xue.

General Xue issued a challenge.

Li Guanyi’s response was a single gesture.

He raised his middle finger.

General Xue’s lips curled into a smirk, lifting his Battle Halberd and smashing it down fiercely towards Li Guanyi, who countered with normal moves. But General Xue’s experience was far too extensive, and Li Guanyi’s Battle Halberd, an invention of the Divine General himself, failed to break his techniques.

In the end, Li Guanyi breathed heavily, "What’s the point of defeating you? That hiding place of the Overlord’s arsenal from 800 years ago, I don’t care about it!"

General Xue raised an eyebrow, "Is it not a benefit to spar with me?"

Li Guanyi had no retort.

To duel and learn from The World’s Number One Divine General.

That was a temptation no martial artist could refuse.

Li Guanyi said, "Isn’t there something, more specific?"

General Xue laughed, "There is. If you can beat me with a single move, then you can demolish this secret realm."

Li Guanyi said, "Demolish it?"

General Xue smiled slightly, "Yes, demolish it, and take it with you."

"In your time, the world should be on the verge of chaos, or perhaps already in a time of war, just not fully erupted yet. This secret realm was established by Shaking Light. As long as we allow, and you have found Shaking Light of the East Continent Stargazing School of this generation."
