The second part of the Nine divine heart sutras was finally unlocked. The esoteric chants of the Severing heart sutra were currently being carved in Lin Mu's mind. As the chants resounded within his head, a sharp stabbing pain accompanied them.

For Lin Mu, it was as if every passing second was equal to a day. When the entire process was complete Lin Mu could not figure out how much time had passed, for the intense pain had robbed him of his sense of time.

When the pain subsided, Lin Mu could see that the ethereal altar had dimmed down considerably. It was still pulsing, but not as intensely as before. He once again felt like he needed to touch the altar, and that's what he did.

Lin Mu had braced for the next bout of pain that could be arriving, but it did not. Instead, a very gentle stream of energy was released from the altar that travelled to the mysterious ring and then to Lin Mu's head. Once the energy entered his head, additional new information appeared in his mind.

There were only two things that were transmitted to him, and these two were skills. They were called 'Flicker' and 'Blink'. Lin Mu understood that the mysterious ring had transmitted the information about these skills to him and had told him that these were some of the innate skills that originated from itself.

"Why would I receive these skills only now and not before? Could it be because of spirit qi?" Lin Mu wondered.

After receiving the skills, the ring hummed again, expelling Lin Mu into the hunting shack. He looked around and confirmed his location. Lin Mu had experienced too many shocks today, thus he sat down to chant the calming heart sutra again to get his thoughts in order.

After half an hour, Lin Mu was able to make the heads and tails of the entire situation.

"I unlocked the Severing heart sutra, and the ring imparted the two skills called Flicker and Blink to me." Lin Mu concluded in one sentence.
