Chapter 4411
Kai’s admiration for Lin Keting deepened as he noted her apparent indifference to Immortal-level techniques, a sign of her elevated status. Despite possessing immense power, she appeared almost disinterested in accomplishments that others would deem significant, piquing Kai’s curiosity about her true identity. However, he remained unfazed, given the advanced techniques he had already mastered. The Heart Concentration Technique alone was regarded as elite, even within the Heavenly Realm. Coupled with the Sacred Light Fist, Divine Patterns, and the Heavenly Underworld Eye, he was indeed a formidable cultivator. Additionally, he had access to teachings from the Red Cloud Demon Monarch, a figure of the 8th Heavenly Realm, whose insights surpassed those of typical Immortals.
“Just some ordinary Immortal techniques,” Kai remarked with a nonchalant smile. “I’m much more interested in discovering other treasures that might be here.”
Lin Keting’s eyes narrowed in intrigue, clearly evaluating him. Kai felt her curiosity about his background growing, just as he was eager to learn more about her. Yet, given their brief acquaintance, neither seemed ready to unveil their secrets just yet.
Ji Yun, Zhu Qingxiu, and even the Right Blind Elder watched in silent frustration as Kai and Lin Keting brushed off the significance of Immortal techniques—something they themselves held in high regard. Nevertheless, with Kai and Lin Keting at the forefront, they had little choice but to follow their lead.
With confidence, Lin Keting moved through the boulder formation without hesitation. Kai was taken aback; he knew there was a Spirit Vertigo Formation hidden within the stones, which should have disoriented her. Could it be that she possessed skills in formations as well?
Intrigued, he quickened his pace to catch up, but just as he was about to ask her, Lin Keting spun around and smirked. “Did you notice the Vertigo Formation in the boulders?”
Surprised, Kai stammered, “Uh… yes, I did.”
Lin Keting’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “I could tell you figured it out but chose not to mention it. Were you hoping I’d get lost so you could come to my rescue?”
Her candidness left Kai momentarily at a loss for words, feeling a bit embarrassed. It was true; he had considered stepping in to showcase his abilities, but now he felt exposed.
“Miss Lin, could it be that you’re a formation master?” he inquired, attempting to redirect the conversation.
“Not at all,” Lin Keting replied with a shake of her head. “I don’t know anything about formations.”
Kai was taken aback. “Then how…?”
In response, Lin Keting simply extended her right hand, revealing the runes etched on her palm, before turning and continuing her stride. It dawned on Kai—those runes must have been what allowed her to navigate formations with ease.
He was awestruck by the power of the rune. The person who had inscribed such potent symbols on her hand must have been extraordinarily skilled, and he found himself wondering who that individual could be. This rune appeared almost omnipotent, granting Lin Keting abilities that transcended ordinary comprehension.
