Chapter 1947: Chapter 2046: Why He Discovered Her Secret

"Brother Gao, is your injury not too serious?" Han Yan asked Gao Weihu.

"It’s nothing serious. This time I was fortunate that the Master Priest intervened to save me, otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived," Gao Weihu said to Han Yan.

"As long as it’s nothing serious. You should stay and cultivate well for some time. Leave only after your cultivation reaches the level of a Divine Heart Priest," Han Yan said.

In Huayu City, I believe no one will dare to target Gao Weihu. Moreover, the townspeople are united and exceptionally wary of outsiders. Even if someone dares to make a move, it’s almost impossible to sneak into the city without anyone noticing.

"Then I will trouble the Master Priest to arrange a Cultivation Quiet Room for me," Gao Weihu said without hesitation, cupping his hands.

He realized that this residence was where Han Yan lived and did not want to impose any longer.

"Very well, I will arrange it now," Han Yan said. It’s not that there were any concerns, but for seclusion and quiet cultivation, the temple’s Quiet Room is more suitable than the residence. It is quieter and safer.

"Please wait, Master Priest," Gao Weihu called out to Han Yan, speaking solemnly, "Keep your cultivation method a secret. Though ordinary priests might not detect anything unusual, the priests from the Life God Temple, especially those from long-standing family traditions, would have insight beyond your imagination."

Han Yan felt a chill in her heart. As expected, just as she had guessed, Gao Weihu had noticed her secret.

"Master Priest, although I, Gao Weihu, may not claim to be a gentleman, I understand the principle of repaying kindness. If I had any ill intentions towards you, I wouldn’t have mentioned it," Gao Weihu said openly.

Han Yan thought so too. If he truly had ulterior motives, why would he bring it up, risking his life? Despite his heavy build, with her current strength, it wouldn’t be too difficult to deal with him.

Looking into Gao Weihu’s eyes, though not large, they were restrained, full of sincerity. Han Yan felt reassured. She had always trusted her own judgment of people.

"Brother Gao, that story of the Life Ancient Tree was made up by you, right? It’s quite well told; I almost believed it," Han Yan teased.

"If I didn’t make up a story, the Master Priest would have difficulty finding a suitable explanation," Gao Weihu admitted with a hearty laugh.

"By the way, let me first teach you how to use the Fire Storage Stone," Gao Weihu said.

"Thank you, Brother Gao," Han Yan replied.

She was indeed curious about this mysterious technique that could secretly harness the power of the Fire Storage Stone to injure others.

"This is a Divine Art called the Gathering Stars Technique..." Gao Weihu explained in detail, demonstrating as he spoke.

After more than half an hour, Gao Weihu finally stopped. Han Yan’s eyes were already gleaming with astonishment.

Since arriving on the Divine Continent, she discovered that the Mu family’s ancestral Heavenly Heart Technique could also be used for spiritual power cultivation. Others might have been shocked, but Han Yan already knew her Heavenly Heart Technique’s origins were extraordinary. Passed down from the Guardian of the Gods, it might even originate from the top-level Cultivation Technique of the Divine Martial Realm, so she wasn’t too surprised.

She was only somewhat regretful. Although the Heavenly Heart Technique could be used for spiritual power cultivation, apart from the Eight Desolate God Fall, which also came from the Divine Martial Realm, there were no suitable Divine Arts to complement it. Much like on the Holy Court Continent, every cultivation mental method required an appropriate sword technique to maximize power, the Priest Techniques and Divine Arts were no different.

She had also cultivated the Fire Thunder Skill and Arrow Rain Technique from the Huayu Temple but could never perfectly align them with her Heavenly Heart Technique to maximize their power. The Eight Desolate God Fall was certainly powerful, but even with Han Yan’s current strength, she could only use it three or four times before exhausting herself, forcing her to either refrain from action or make a decisive strike without room for mercy.

The Gathering Stars Technique, however, seemed tailor-made for the Heavenly Heart Technique. Even just listening to Gao Weihu’s explanations and without personal practice, Han Yan, with her understanding of the Cultivation Path, could perceive that aside from the Eight Desolate God Fall, only the Heavenly Star Breaking Technique could bring out the full potential of the Heavenly Heart Technique.

"Master Priest, now you understand why I was able to discover your secret?" Gao Weihu said, noticing the surprise in Han Yan’s eyes.

Han Yan nodded. She had indeed been slightly puzzled earlier. Although Gao Weihu’s background was unusual and as the Store Manager of the black market, his insight far exceeded ordinary individuals, his cultivation level was still evident. Without reaching the realm of Divine Heart Priest, it shouldn’t have been easy to discover the secret of her Heavenly Heart Technique. Now she realized that his Gathering Stars Technique was indeed connected to her Heavenly Heart Technique, which is why he could perceive it.

However, after some contemplation, Han Yan realized that this Gathering Stars Technique had quite a few flaws, or rather, was incomplete. From Gao Weihu’s explanation, it was evident that its complete practice was impossible, and its power was limited, merely serving as a peculiar means to activate the Fire Storage Stone.

"Brother Gao, where did you learn this Gathering Stars Technique?" Han Yan asked, curious whether Gao Weihu hadn’t mastered it, or if the Divine Art itself was incomplete.

"I knew you would ask this," Gao Weihu had anticipated Han Yan’s question, thought for a moment, and said, "This Divine Art was passed down by an ancestor of the Gao family. It’s said that the ancestor left a message stating that although this Divine Art appears powerful, it is difficult to fully harness its true power due to the lack of a suitable spiritual power cultivation method to complement it. However, that cultivation method wasn’t the usual Priest Technique, and he speculated it might have some connection with the Holy Court Continent, thus advising descendants to leave it to fate without forcing it, or else the Gao family might face calamity."

"Is there any way, Brother Gao, for me to borrow the ancestral teachings of the Gao family for a look?" Han Yan knew this request was somewhat demanding but couldn’t resist the allure of the Gathering Heart Breaking Technique.

She had long attempted to combine Divine Arts with sword techniques, realizing their power far exceeded expectations. However, the complete integration of Divine Arts and sword techniques remained elusive, making it easy to expose her identity when facing truly powerful priests.
