Chapter 787 - A Different Method To Observe (1/2)

Lin Mu's eyes were on Xiaobao as his aura kept on increasing more and more.

”Observe him closely. Perhaps you'll get some tips for your own breakthrough in the future.” Xukong advised.

”Yes senior.” Lin Mu replied.

Lin Mu knew that his spirit sense could not penetrate the body of Xiaobao already and thus the only way for him to perceive it was through the spirit Qi waves and the changes in the auras that were emanated from him.

~thud~

Lin Mu quickly sat down and decided to observe as much as he could and take benefit of it. He observed Xiaobao for about five minutes with his full focus, but was unable to see much.

”Ugh, this won't be enough…” Lin Mu said and tried to think of another method.

After a few seconds, an idea did come to him, but he did not know if it would work or not.

”It's worth a try, anyway.” Lin Mu decided.

~huu~

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A second later, his lips started to move lightly and a low chant could be heard coming from his mouth. Lin Mu's eyes opened and a cold glare was emanated from it.

Severing Heart Sutra! Spatial Perception!

Severing heart sutra stilled his mind, removing everything unless from it, while also preventing disturbing thoughts from appearing in it. Then the Spatial perception allowed him to peer into the body of Xiaobao without spirit sense.

This was something that would not work on someone normally and if Lin Mu did do it, he would just end up seeing the space but not the person or anything within them. But the current situation was an exception.

Since Xiaobao was undergoing a breakthrough, there was a lot of spirit Qi moving around. This caused the space to show fluctuations as well, and that was something Lin Mu could see.

Thus, Lin Mu observed the spirit Qi's movement using the spatial fluctuation as a negative contrast. This was of course, not fully accurate, but it was more than what he was seeing before.

Right now to Lin Mu, it looked like he was seeing everything through a sheet of cloth and things seemed to be a bit blurry. He couldn't see Xiabao's Dantian or meridians. All he could see was the fluctuations caused by spirit Qi, not even spirit Qi itself.

It was a complex situation where he was deriving conclusions from a third factor that was indirect.

~shudder~

Xiaobao's body started to shake as the spirit Qi in the atmosphere started to pour into his body rapidly. Lin Mu could even feel a different kind of spirit Qi mixed into it. Slightly diverting his attention to use spirit sense, Lin Mu sensed the new kind of spirit Qi that was arising from the sea.

”Is this the water elemental spirit Qi?” Lin Mu guessed.
