Chapter 95: Let's Suffer Again, Yu Shuzhen
Chapter 95: Let’s Suffer Again, Yu Shuzhen
No sooner had he thought it than Lv Yang acted, his figure dissolving into a streak of light that pierced the heavens.
The Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner billowed violently, its shadow spreading outward from Lv Yang like a storm cloud, swallowing the eight-hundred-mile Skull Mountain range—especially the Wugui Secret Realm.
One by one, Soulbound Wraiths were transformed into banner spirits: the eight Red-Robed Ghosts that formed Yanmo Hall, and even the guardian deity Su Nu.
“It’s even changed color.”
As countless Wraiths merged into the banner, its once-pristine white fabric darkened to a deep, purplish black—matching Su Nu’s aura. With this, when Lv Yang reincarnated, Yanmo Hall’s legacy would seamlessly transfer. His next life would begin with a Foundation-Building guardian deity obscuring his fate, rivaling even the Primordial Hunyuan Talisman’s power without alerting the Heaven-Mending Peak Master.
“Oh right—I almost forgot about you.”
With a flick of the banner, Lv Yang pulled forth a gaunt, elderly Daoist priest with a blank stare and grizzled hair.
The Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s split soul—severed earlier to escape Yanmo Hall’s grasp.
Next, he summoned Chen Xin’an. This, too, was a fragmented consciousness—his true self remained elsewhere. The two split souls locked eyes, their expressions shifting from shock to disbelief.
“How is this possible?”
“Why not?” Lv Yang smirked. “You two share such a deep father-son bond. I’m feeling generous—let’s reunite you in the banner.”
A sudden thought struck him: If both Chen Xin’an and the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s fragments became his banner spirits, would they persist after his reincarnation? And if so, how would that affect their true selves?
“Fascinating.”
Lv Yang’s mind raced with possibilities. Perhaps in his next life, he could frame the Heaven-Mending Peak Master for a scandal. But that was a problem for another lifetime.
Returning his focus, he addressed the two souls: “I’m cultivating the Mental Severance Heavenly Silkworm Secret. Guard my cultivation.”
This supreme technique transformed Spiritual Awareness into Foundation-Building Divine Consciousness. To master it, one had to sever nine split souls from their own essence—each embodying one of nine extreme emotions: joy from sight, anger from sound, love from scent, longing from taste, desire from thought, sorrow from touch, greed from form, wrath from hatred, and ignorance from delusion. Together, they formed the “Three Poisons and Six Desires.” Only by severing them all could one glimpse true selfhood.
“First—joy from sight.”
Muttering incantations, Lv Yang shaped his Spiritual Awareness into a blade. With Su Nu’s divination power guiding him, he cleaved his first split soul.
The moment it separated, a spectral image of him materialized. The clone clutched its eyes, threw back its head, and erupted into maniacal laughter.
Simultaneously, waves of ecstasy flooded Lv Yang’s mind—joy from cultivation breakthroughs, from dual cultivation, from schemes succeeding… A lifetime of euphoria surged forth.
Though prepared, Lv Yang’s eyes still flushed red from the intensity.
Suddenly, Chen Xin’an and the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s fragments moved in unison, their voices booming like thunder:
“Hmph!”
The sound washed over him like a cleansing spring, quelling the chaotic emotions.
“Soul-based supreme techniques… truly treacherous.”
Lv Yang frowned. This was only temporary—the suppressed emotions would erupt violently later. This was the core challenge of the Mental Severance Heavenly Silkworm Secret: severed souls would continuously project extreme emotions. Only by mastering one’s mind to “achieve icy clarity” could the technique be perfected.
“These emotions… troublesome.”
The split souls remained tethered to him through Karmic Causality, meaning suppression was futile—the feelings would endlessly resurge.
Wait—Karmic Causality?
He turned to Su Nu. If he recalled correctly, guardian deities could redirect Karmic Causality. Testing his theory, he rerouted the “joy from sight” tether to Su Nu.
Instantly, Su Nu’s lips curled into an uncontrolled grin before she hastily masked it with horror.
“Endure it—don’t let it escape!”
Without hesitation, Lv Yang transferred the remaining eight split souls onto Su Nu.
Moments later, Su Nu collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat. Her once-elegant face clung to her scalp with perspiration, her alluring eyes now vacant and dazed—her divine composure utterly shattered.
Watching her agony, Lv Yang felt an immediate relief.
This was what guardian deities were for. What else would he keep her around?
“I still need Su Nu to use her Foundation-Building status to accelerate my Corpse Liberation Immortal cultivation. Guess Yu Shuzhen will have to suffer a little more.”
With Su Nu’s help, Lv Yang estimated that the Supreme Yin Shedding Corpse Liberation True Art and Mental Severance Heavenly Silkworm Secret—each requiring decades—could now be perfected within three months. His chance of breaking through to Foundation Building would soar to seventy percent.
“And with the Heavenly Corpse Curse agreement, I can claim the Ascension Edict from True Man Yinshan.”
That would push his success rate to eighty percent. Not bad!
He didn’t crave a “perfect” Foundation Building anyway. Eighty percent was more than enough to bet everything on.
Holy Sect, Sky-Connecting Sea of Clouds.
The Heaven-Mending Peak Master returned to his peak in silence, immediately activating the mountain’s protective formation before molding a new body from clay.
Before he could steady himself, a melodic voice chimed:
“Father, weren’t you going to capture someone? Why return empty-handed?”
He froze.
Turning slowly, he faced his daughter Chen Shuqian. “I… miscalculated. I didn’t capture him.”
“You lost?”
“I didn’t lose.” His voice hardened. “That brat deceived and ambushed me, destroying my physical form. I couldn’t fight at even ten percent strength.”
“You lost, didn’t you?”
“I didn’t lose!” He clenched his teeth. “Let him enjoy his victory for now. When he attempts Foundation Building, he’ll understand true power.”
“That child calculated everything—except the cost of greed for third-tier true qi.”
He scoffed. “You’re too young to grasp the world’s cruelty. Every opportunity demands a price.”
“If the legacy of Panlong’s era was truly so wondrous, why would I leave it for others instead of reserving it for you and Xin’an? Even in life, Panlong was merely a wandering Foundation-Building cultivator. Do you truly believe his cultivation technique can rank third-tier and lead to Golden Core?”
