Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1578 - 659: Showing Off in Front of Zhao Ji

After speaking, Zhao Ji paused for a moment.

She was already a woman with clear thoughts. In an instant, she sensed something was off.

She suddenly opened her eyes, then squinted slightly, looking at Qiu Tu, "You've already learned the 'Prison Heaven Seal'?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu finally stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table. He said with a faint smile, "I didn't let Sister Zhao Ji down. Indeed, I learned it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help blurting out, "Then when I saw you earlier, why did you say you hadn't learned it in 10 days..."

Halfway through her sentence, a realization flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes.

She looked at Qiu Tu calmly, "So... you didn't learn it just today. You learned it earlier."

Her words were supposed to be a question, but when spoken, they turned into a statement.

And Qiu Tu went along with a smirk, "Yes. I learned it yesterday."

"But it got delayed due to Shu Xia's attack."

"So, I only came to find Sister Zhao Ji today."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji couldn't help but give him a deep look.

After a moment, she took out a small, thumb-sized, entirely white and semi-transparent seal from her pocket.

Then she casually tossed it, and the jade-like small seal flew towards Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu hurriedly reached out to catch the small seal. The seal felt weightless in his hand, but looking down, it seemed like he could see the shadow of Man Huang sitting quietly inside.

This is Man Huang's "Heaven Seal."

According to Zhao Ji's explanation, the "Heaven Seal" is actually the square seal that a Cataclysm being condenses from the "World Origin" after reaching the sixth rank.

That square seal holds all the being's power, positional frame, and authority. However, it is invisible and intangible, undetectable by touch or sight.

The 'Prison' Heaven Seal uses "Heavenly God" level methods to condense, strip away, and imprison that "Heaven Seal."

As a result, a deity without a "Heaven Seal" will be unable to perceive Cataclysmic Power, use Cataclysmic abilities, or control their own "Controlled Area," becoming a lamb to be slaughtered.

It is indeed a tremendously effective "Divine Skill."

Thus, mastering the "Heaven Seal," to some degree, means mastering the lifeline of that deity.

By stimulating certain special spots on the "Heaven Seal," one can also cause some specific effects on that deity from a distance.

This is why Qiu Tu was so keen on practicing the "Prison Heaven Seal."

And now, with Man Huang's "Heaven Seal" in hand, Qiu Tu's purpose for coming this time has been fulfilled.

So he unhesitatingly waved at Zhao Ji and said, "Thanks, Sister Zhao Ji."

"You focus on your cultivation. I'll handle the outside affairs."

After speaking, he didn't care about Zhao Ji's reaction and directly left Zhao Ji's cultivation palace.

Originally, with Qiu Tu there, the whole palace was bustling. With Qiu Tu's sudden departure, the palace immediately felt desolate.

In the cold atmosphere, Zhao Ji's eyes flickered as she gazed at the spot where Qiu Tu left.

Her face still had no expression, but her mind was far from being as calm as it appeared.

'Learning a "Divine Skill" in less than 10 days?'

'His talent is actually this strong?'

Zhao Ji didn't deceive Qiu Tu; the true learning speed of a Heavenly God Seed is roughly around one month, and for a Divine King level, about half a month.

Yet.... Qiu Tu's talent is even stronger than a Divine King?

This indeed was somewhat beyond Zhao Ji's expectations.

Moreover.... these past few days, Qiu Tu wasn't solely focused on learning but was busy with various tasks and strategizing.

In a day's time, being able to devote a third of it to cultivation was already quite good.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but calculate Qiu Tu's "True Learning Speed."

'He isn't someone who likes to lie. So he must have learned the "Prison Heaven Seal" before today.'

'Let's calculate it as the longest, 9 days. He had only a third of his time for cultivation each day. So... is it 3 days?'

Thinking this, Zhao Ji's gaze couldn't help but become serious.

Learning a "Divine Skill" in three days....

She couldn't help but recall the time she took to learn an unfamiliar "Divine Skill."

2 days....

'It's actually about the same as Qiu Tu?'

For some reason, a sense of urgency inexplicably arose in Zhao Ji's heart.

'I'm still too weak....'

Thinking this, she took a deep breath, then closed her eyes and began cultivating.

This time, she was obviously not as mild as earlier but became much more frenetic!

.....

Meanwhile.

Qiu Tu didn't know that his deliberate pretense had stimulated Zhao Ji.

If he knew, his heart would probably be blooming with joy.

After all.... this was his original intention.

The reason he didn't immediately boast in front of Zhao Ji upon meeting her.

Is because he knew... at that time, Zhao Ji already had an anticipatory value for his learning speed.

Even if he revealed his learning speed then, it wouldn't have much effect.

Only by first dispelling Zhao Ji's mental expectations and then giving her a surprising reversal could he deliver a psychological shock to her.

Especially with Qiu Tu's straightforward departure, this combination will likely make Zhao Ji constantly recall this pretentious display of Qiu Tu in the coming days whenever she has free time.

Thus deepening the impression again and again.

This was Qiu Tu's true motive.

If, previously, Qiu Tu's interactions with Zhao Ji were mainly to stay by her side, then now Qiu Tu's goal is to deepen his impression in her heart and.... gradually equalize their status.
