Besides that, there were two cards specially prepared for himself by Fang Yang.
One was named "Heavenly Blood Net" and the other "Blood Smoke Net," both Epic skills of the blood attribute.
However, these had little use for Su Yuan.
Finally, Su Yuan’s gaze fell on two wooden boxes.
These two wooden boxes had Sanskrit carved on them, along with Buddhist golden lotus patterns, which stood in stark contrast to the surrounding items, placed prominently in the center.
Su Yuan first opened one. It was empty.
He then opened the other, which held a purple Star Card.
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered. He immediately understood that the empty box had contained the Bodhi Heart Retention Technique.
And this card also seemed to be a treasure from the Bodhi Sect.
Thinking this, Su Yuan focused his spiritual power to inspect it:
"Killing Life Redemption"
"Introduction: Stop killing with killing, save the world with killing, use killing to achieve Universal Salvation!"
"This skill seems extraordinary..."
Su Yuan frowned. Just by looking at this card and its introduction, it felt as though he were surrounded by an extremely thick killing intent.
Such eeriness, was it Buddhist or demonic?
Was it for Universal Salvation, or was it to slaughter humanity?
Su Yuan frowned further and delved into the card to inspect it closely.
The more this secret technique killed, the stronger its power grew.
And when cultivated to the realm of Divine Transformation...
Su Yuan’s pupils contracted, and his heart suddenly thumped wildly.
"This Killing Life Redemption... contains the supreme mystery of resurrection?!"
After a long time, Su Yuan took a deep breath, gradually suppressing his turbulent emotions.
According to what this card described, it indeed had the profound ability to redeem life.
But "severely injured on the brink of death" and "dead" were two completely different concepts.
If it truly revived the dead, that would far exceed what an Epic Star Card could accomplish.
Still, it wasn’t completely impossible. For instance, its usage conditions could be extremely stringent...
"No matter what, since it involves life, this card’s significance has far surpassed an ordinary Epic Star Card..."
Su Yuan looked thoughtful. This card, coupled with the Bodhi Heart Retention Technique from earlier, comprised two top-tier Buddhist secret techniques. No wonder Fang Yang, once a young genius of the Demon Sky Palace, couldn’t resist the temptation.
"But now, it benefits me." Su Yuan chuckled softly and carefully stored the Star Card in his ring.
After handling the ring, Su Yuan glanced around and continued his journey westward without staying any longer.
After traveling for another two days, he had thoroughly entered the Southern Domain.
The Southern Domain was predominantly flat and orderly, mostly consisting of plains.
"The Qiankun Sect is quite far, but heading straight west seems to enter the influence range of Yixian Dao."
As Su Yuan was looking at a map, he suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation.
This fluctuation didn’t originate from his body but from...
Su Yuan stopped walking, raised his hand, and a figure of the Demon Soul materialized amid a surge of red light.
The Demon Soul closed its eyes to sense carefully and remarked with some surprise, "It seems to be a spiritual soul search? Looks like a spiritual expert. Did they send someone stronger after dealing with the small fry?"
Su Yuan’s silver eyes shone as he used his far-sighted skill to look behind. Before long, he saw a pitch-black Demon Cloud rapidly approaching from the distance.
With a thoughtful look, Su Yuan said, "The people from the Demon Sect catching up at this time are most likely from the Demon Sky Palace."
"Probably," the Demon Soul said with slight enthusiasm in its eyes. "What do you say?"
"They probably aren’t here for trouble. Let’s observe first."
Su Yuan put his hand on the Demon Soul’s shoulder, and with a flash of black light, they entered the Qingming Realm.
A Qingming Realm mark appeared on the Demon Soul’s shoulder and disappeared with a flash.
Perhaps because it was Su Yuan’s avatar, the Demon Soul was the only one besides him who could move the Qingming Realm externally.
The Demon Soul patted its shoulder, then turned to look toward the sky.
In a moment, a black cloud descended, revealing a handsome, fair young man in a Black Cloud Gold Silk Robe.
Seeing the Demon Soul waiting there, the young man clasped his hands with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
The Demon Soul’s eyes narrowed slightly, sensing an unusually powerful aura from the young man.
The young man replied, "I am Ji Changye from the Demon Sky Palace."
"Oh?" The Demon Soul’s eyes narrowed further.
From Fang Yang’s ring, they had gathered information that the Demon Sky Palace currently had three core disciples, and this Ji Changye was one of them.
"Why have you pursued me?"
Ji Changye smiled and said, "I was sent by the sect to hunt down the traitor Fang Yang, but on the way, I sensed he had died.
However, we needed confirmation, so I used the Soul Hooking Secret Technique to track the spirit, which led me to you.
Tracking you was my mistake. I apologize for the offense and ask for your understanding."
"Hunting a traitor..." The Demon Soul smirked, taking out a Blood-Colored Ring, "This should confirm it, right?"
Ji Changye’s eyes flickered, "Would you hand this ring to me?"
The ring’s contents had already been handled by Su Yuan and were now empty.
The Demon Soul didn’t say much, tossing the ring to him.
Ji Changye used the ring, sealing with one hand, causing black energy to rise from his palm.
Shortly after, a vague shadow appeared on the ring, showing the visage of Fang Yang!
"It is indeed Fang Yang’s ring, no doubt."
Ji Changye looked at the Demon Soul again, his expression turning slightly serious.
He had come because the sect found Fang Yang wasn’t dead, sending him to hunt again.
Although Fang Yang had been gravely wounded by Chou Wuliang, with his ability, he would recover quickly as long as he wasn’t dead.
If Fang Yang went on a rampage... he might have already fully recovered.
Remember, Fang Yang had nearly completed the core disciple’s tasks, almost becoming one himself, a formidable adversary.
It’s unexpected he was killed by an unknown person!
Ji Changye asked, "May I know your name?"
The Demon Soul pondered and said, "Qin Lianyun."
In the East Continent, Black Wind Domain Dragon Gate City, Qin Lianyun, practicing skills, sneezed violently.
"What happened?" Qin Lianyun touched his nose, "Why does it feel like someone’s plotting against me?"
Qin Xiangyang, beside him, glared, "Why are you daydreaming? Keep practicing. You’ve yet to reach perfection!"
"Alright, father!" Qin Lianyun scratched his head and resumed practice sulkily.
Ji Changye’s mind raced, but the name was unfamiliar.
Was it a hidden identity or a reclusive master?
"Where is Brother Qin headed?" Ji Changye eyed the Demon Soul, suddenly intrigued.
The Demon Soul replied coldly, "You seem to be asking too much."
Ji Changye laughed heartily, "Haha, I found Brother Qin quite congenial, thus asked more. Forgive me."
Apologizing, Ji Changye said no more, "If that’s the case, I’ll leave. Brother Qin, until next time!"
With that, he leaped skyward, turning into a black cloud and disappearing into the horizon...
