"Why can't you see it for yourself?" Lin Xiao was even more confused.
"Because Mr. Zhuge's 'heartscape' has reached a level that people like me cannot casually observe. Once observed, one might become obsessed and never break free from it." Dongfang Bai sighed. He had always wanted to properly observe Mr. Zhuge's 'heartscape,' but the last time, he had almost not come out.
"That serious?"
Even though Lin Xiao had just experienced that scene himself, wouldn't he get lost without Zhuge Lan's presence?
"Of course. You kid, you're truly defying heaven. I really want not to envy you, but now it seems I have no choice. I must envy you." Dongfang Bai said with a wry smile, "For ordinary people, if they see Mr. Zhuge's entire 'heartscape,' even with Mr. Zhuge's help to break free, if they're unlucky, they'll be lost in it for a lifetime, unable to extricate themselves."
"Isn't it just... the universe?"
Lin Xiao still didn't understand. After speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhuge Lan, afraid that Mr. Zhuge would be angry.
"It's fine, you're not wrong." Mr. Zhuge spoke, "Indeed, it is the universe."
"You know, all sorcerers who study Qimen have their own insights into Qimen, their own 'heartscapes.'" Dongfang Bai was intensely envious. "But Mr. Zhuge's 'heartscape' universe encompasses what almost all Qimen sorcerers pursue their entire lives: infinite knowledge, and a realm that makes everyone unable to ignore it, wanting to peek into it."
"Especially once you enter it, your inner desires will be uncontrollably exposed, and then you'll can't help but study Mr. Zhuge's 'heartscape.'" Dongfang Bai said with a wry smile, "Take me for example, a mere amateur. If I go in, I can only take a few glances, and I can't even see the whole universe. My mind can't handle it, so I have to withdraw. But for those who are more skilled, they will become obsessed, forever learning and forever researching."
"Mr. Zhuge carries nearly two thousand years of Qimen sorcery! And his universe has reached the endpoint of Qimen techniques! Once you start, you'll forget time, and then your body will be lost in time. Without a powerful Qimen sorcerer to awaken you, you'll be a vegetative state for life."
Hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but gasp inwardly. This was a bit too outrageous.
"I heard... besides the successor of the Wuhou lineage, no one has ever truly seen the full picture of Mr. Zhuge's 'heartscape.'" Dongfang Bai looked at Zhuge Lan at this point.
"That's right... Lin Xiao is the first."
"The first!"
Dongfang Bai was immensely envious.
Only by truly stepping into Qimen can one understand how marvelous the things contained within are.
"Then, can I try to study Qimen Dunjia?" Lin Xiao suddenly became a little interested.
"My advice is, don't."
Even with Mr. Zhuge by his side, Dongfang Bai said without hesitation, "The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams of Qimen Dunjia, the more you study it, the more you will realize your own ignorance... Furthermore, you have the opportunity to break through to the divine realm now. If you get distracted, you might achieve neither in the end."
What he said made a lot of sense.
