NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9:
Chapter 9: The Power of the Mind – Rewriting the Opponent’s Consciousness:
Only two people remained in the room.
“Young Master…” Lu Yi’s voice trembled with shyness, her hands nervously clutching the edges of his clothes, unsure of where to place them.
Although he had anticipated this moment, it arrived much sooner than he expected, leaving him filled with anxiety.
“Lu Yi, look up and meet my eyes.” Hua Qiandi commanded, his voice smooth and magnetic, resonating in Lu Yi’s ears.
“Yes, Master,” Lu Yi replied, raising his head slightly to meet a pair of deep, penetrating eyes.
Immediately, her gaze became unfocused, and she fell into a state of unconsciousness.
Hua Qiandi had used his mental powers to forcibly hypnotize Lu Yi. His mental strength had reached the third level of “Sitting and Forgetting,” a state that transcended the physical body, allowing him to influence the material world’s energy with immense power.
Lu Yi, being only a modest Heaven and Human Realm expert, had no defense against such power. Hua Qiandi continued to deepen the hypnosis.
“From now on, I am your Master. Everything you possess—your soul, your body—belongs to me. You must obey me without question, never lie to me, and never betray me,” Hua Qiandi commanded.
This form of hypnosis was profound, rewriting Lu Yi’s consciousness at its core, making him genuinely believe in this new reality, much like knowing he was human and not something else. Hua Qiandi’s hypnotic influence was this deep.
“Yes, Master.” Lu Yi responded, his expression and consciousness returning to normal, but now with a newfound admiration for Hua Qiandi.
In this way, Lu Yi was completely transformed into Hua Qiandi’s loyal follower.
“Now, tell me about your mission. Who sent you here, and what were you supposed to do?” Hua Qiandi asked.
“Yes, Master.” Lu Yi answered obediently.
She revealed that she had indeed been sent by a rival faction, with the sole purpose of monitoring Hua Qiandi. As for other tasks, none had been assigned yet.
“I see. For now, continue to follow their instructions, but inform me if anything changes. Now, serve me and prepare for bed.” Hua Qiandi instructed with a nod.
“Yes, Master, I’ll undress you.” Lu Yi replied, blushing as he stood up.
The night was filled with romance, details of which need not be elaborated.
Meanwhile, Hua Qiandi remained focused, using his dreams to cultivate his mental power.
In the Heavenly Demonic Sect, everyone had their own schemes, and Hua Qiandi could trust no one but himself. Time was precious, and he needed to grow stronger as quickly as possible.
To achieve this, he relied on two things: the system to create instruments and the Great Dream Heart Sutra. This cultivation technique suited him perfectly.
In just one night, he advanced through two major realms, from Meditation to Fetal Breath, and entered the realm of “Sitting and Forgetting,” where his mental power could influence external energies.
Now, he used his mental power to cultivate further. His body had been altered at the cellular level, giving him the physique of a top-tier combatant. Enhancing his physique further would be difficult unless he altered his genes.
Therefore, he focused on increasing his body’s energy storage capacity.
Most people channel spiritual energy into their dantian, but the capacity was limited, and the process was slow.
Hua Qiandi planned to open a small dantian in each of his body’s cells to store energy. While others couldn’t manage such precision, he could do it with his mental power.
The human body has about 60 trillion cells, and Hua Qiandi could control one trillion at once. Using his mental power, he began to create small dantians within those trillion cells.
It was as if a new world had been created within him, with each cell forming a small dantian. He then used his mental power to draw energy from the outside world, storing it in each cell’s dantian.
This meticulous work took time, but his strength visibly grew with every moment.
When 100 billion cells were filled, his power reached the peak Heaven and Human Realm. However, his cultivation realm remained the same, as many cells were still unfilled.
So, he continued the process:
200 billion cells.
300 billion cells.
400 billion cells.
He filled every cell in his body.
At this point, his stored energy was 600 times that of a typical warrior at his level. If he unleashed it all, even a master of extraordinary power would be no match.
With his mental power added, he could amplify his strength hundreds of times when entering the Heaven and Human Realm. Such power, combined with his strategic mind, could even catch an immortal powerhouse off guard.
“Now, I finally have a measure of self-defense.” Hua Qiandi smiled slightly.
No one could have imagined the terrifying power concealed within this seemingly gentle and refined individual, who appeared to be only at the Heaven and Human Realm.
The next morning.
He awoke, surrounded by his maids. He felt himself slipping into debauchery.
Accompanied by four beautiful and charming maids, everything was taken care of—he didn’t need to lift a finger. It was all too comfortable.
“No wonder the ancient kings abandoned their duties. If I were them, I might do the same,” Hua Qiandi mused, indulging in the luxury.
At that moment, Bai Zhu entered, holding a red invitation. “Young Master, many disciples are outside, wishing to see you. This is the invitation they sent.”
“Who are they?” Hua Qiandi asked casually, reclining on his chair. A maid in green robes massaged his back, while two others in purple and blue attended to his legs.
“Mostly outer sect disciples, but also some from the inner sect, direct disciples, and even three senior elders.” Bai Zhu reported.
Hua Qiandi had anticipated this day.
People were smart, and now that they saw his rapid rise, they couldn’t wait to align themselves with him. But if he were to falter, they would be the first to turn against him.
In the Heavenly Demonic Sect, loyalty was nonexistent—everything was driven by self-interest. Only strength mattered.
Hua Qiandi didn’t feel like dealing with them.
“Send them all away!” he ordered.
“Ah? Young Master…” Bai Zhu hesitated.
“Did you not hear me?” Hua Qiandi’s brow furrowed.
“Understood, Master!” Bai Zhu quickly retreated.
