Yinshan Record

Chapter 278 Deceit and Treachery, Scattered Souls and Entangling Clues (Part 2)

Su Che knew he was injured, and even with the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden in hand, facing two opponents alone against the gray-clad swordsman's serpentine sword was still extremely dangerous.

Who knows whether the void devouring of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden is faster or the vicious sword light of the gray-clad swordsman is more ruthless?
A son of a wealthy family should not sit under a dangerous roof.

Su Che didn't want to gamble, nor could he afford to.

So they used a little fishing trick, and the armored giant took the bait.

Looking back now, the "Qingdi Treasure Garden" is still incredibly valuable and hard to resist.

Su Che moved and arrived directly in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

Inside the East Pole Hall, the air was filled with the warmth of spring, and Su Che slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"The little saint is injured?"

The spirit Chang Le came forward and carefully examined Su Che's injuries.

Have you ever seen a sword wound like this before?

Changle shook his head.

He had already suffered greatly at the hands of the old lion, and it was already quite remarkable for this spirit to maintain his current mental clarity, as many details of his memories had been lost forever.

Seeing him like this, Su Che didn't say anything, but suddenly thought of the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

If that knowledgeable and cunning old fox were by my side, he should be able to solve the mystery before me.

Su Che looked at the wound on his chest. No matter how he tried to regulate his breathing, his vital energy continued to flow out of the wound.

This is not a good thing.

The Xuanmen (Taoist school) has always had the concept of the innate foundation, which refers to the innate primordial spirit that naturally arises between heaven and earth when a person has just formed a gestation stage and has not yet been born as a human.

The demon race places particular importance on this innate primordial spirit when cultivating, regarding it as the foundation of their practice.

The Xuanmen (Taoist school) also regards it as the foundation of life.

The most direct manifestation of this innate primordial spirit is lifespan.

Whether it's immortals, Buddhas, Confucians, or demons, each has its own methods for predicting lifespan. The method involves observing how much of a person's innate vital energy remains through secret techniques to infer their natural lifespan.

Some people are exceptionally gifted, born with extremely strong innate vital energy, so their lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people.

Of course, this is on the premise that the various material desires such as wine, women, wealth, and anger in one's later life have not consumed this extra innate vital energy.

Most of the sword techniques Su Che had seen were based on absolute destructive power, directly and thoroughly annihilating the opponent with utter violence.

However, Su Che had never heard of a sword technique like the one used by the gray-clad swordsman, which involved tampering with someone's innate vital energy.

He wanted to refine his sword intent using the Nine Methods of Heaven and Man as a foundation of reality and illusion.

It now appears that the gray-clad swordsmen's lineage is dealing with the laws of life and death.

It's interesting that everyone's thoughts are pretty much the same.

"Young Sage, the two people who were previously sealed away are now placed in the Taiyi Ximu Divine Forbidden Zone. Is this appropriate?"

Chang Le then asked.

"Let's go check on the smaller one first."

Su Che used his magic power to teleport to the Taiyi Ximu Divine Restriction.

The various divine restrictions within the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden are somewhere between formations and supernatural powers. They are truly unparalleled means of creating a world of their own. As long as the foundation of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden remains, they can undergo almost infinite changes.

The Taiyi Ximu Divine Forbidden Zone reveals itself as a dense forest with no visible boundaries, where various spiritual trees and divine beasts lurk.

What appears to be a lush and idyllic paradise on ordinary days will be attacked and killed by countless ancient and exotic creatures once it is activated.

Only true masters who have attained immortality can escape this.

Previously, the Prince of Wuling, for reasons unknown, suddenly went mad and tried to kill Su Che. The compassionate Third Young Master Su, however, directly sent this unfortunate prince to the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

Now that the tense has subsided by half, Su Che decided to come and see what was wrong with His Highness.

Using a teleportation technique, Su Che led Changsheng into the Taiyi Ximu Divine Forbidden Zone. There, amidst the endless expanse of green trees, they saw that the Wuling Prince's original clothes were torn to shreds, with visible wounds on his arms, chest, and face.

He was standing on top of a huge pine tree, slowly circulating his internal energy.

A pure white light emanated from behind his head, and the wounds on his body gradually healed.

The Prince of Wuling opened his eyes, his expression filled with a peaceful compassion for humanity.

He bent down, found a huge pine cone on the pine tree, and gently tapped it open with his hand. He then sat cross-legged on a horizontal branch of this enormous pine tree, slowly peeling and eating the pine cone.

Buddhist methods?

Su Che looked at the Buddhist light flashing behind the Prince of Wuling's head, but he still felt that something was not quite right.

When I sealed him in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, he had already fallen into a deep demonic state.

How come you act so nonchalant after throwing it here for so long?

With a thought, Su Che channeled a stream of magical power into the Taiyi Ximu Divine Restriction.

The Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden was originally in the hands of Young Master Su. Previously, it had imprisoned at least fifth-rank "wanted criminals," so Su Che relied on the experienced artifact spirit Changsheng to carry out the work.

Now that the Wuling Prince, whose cultivation level is mediocre, is imprisoned, Su Che can finally practice his skills.

As he channeled his magical power into the divine barrier, various laws resonated with each other. While comprehending these laws, Su Che conjured a large, azure-scaled python beneath the pine tree.

Using his magical power as a brush, and with the aid of the restrictive magic of the Taiyi Ximu Divine Restriction, Su Che gradually brought the giant python to life.

It was about two zhang long, its body covered in shimmering blue scales as if it had been tempered, with a pair of large yellow jade snake eyes, and a few colorful feathers growing on its forehead.

Su Che didn't know what kind of ancient creature this thing was; he had only intended to throw a snake into it at first.

However, within the Taiyi Ximu Divine Restriction, the divine power of Su Che was spontaneously sensed, and the details were gradually perfected, ultimately manifesting as such a ferocious snake.

The giant blue-scaled python slowly climbed up the tree trunk, its black forked tongue like a short dagger gleaming in the moonlight under the night sky, inching closer and closer to the Prince of Wuling.

Three feet, two feet, one foot.

The giant blue-scaled python opened its massive jaws like an arrow released from a bow, lunging at the back of the Prince of Wuling.

The snow-white fangs were no more than a foot away from the Prince of Wuling's neck.

The young prince, who had been like an old monk in deep meditation, suddenly sprang up like a monkey, flipped over, and punched the python directly in its vital spot.

"What an evil beast!"

The Prince of Wuling's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his hands, as hard as metal, held the python's gaping maw in place.

Buddhist Vidyaraja Dharma?
Looking at the Prince of Wuling, whose clothes gleamed with metallic luster, Su Che secretly made a deduction in his mind.

wrong.

I feel like I've seen this body-refining method somewhere before, but it's definitely not a Buddhist supernatural power.

Because the true meaning of the Future Star Tribulation Sutra within one's own body reacts with unparalleled realism.

That feeling seemed to be undisguised disgust.

The Prince of Wuling braced his hand against the giant python's jaws, but instead thrust his own head directly into its mouth. He opened his mouth and bit down on the python's forked tongue, completely disregarding its stench, and bit it off in one gulp.

The look of ecstatic satisfaction on his face reminded Su Che of where his sense of familiarity came from.

What is said must be done.

The demonic sect expert who followed Huang Kou south to seize the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

The body-refining method that fellow cultivated was almost identical to the methods used by the Prince of Wuling in front of him.

No wonder the true essence of the Future Star Tribulation Scripture within my body resisted so much.

The Prince of Wuling did not cultivate any Buddhist supernatural powers at all; rather, it was a demonic method disguised as Buddhist supernatural powers by some unknown master.

When did the Demonic Sect infiltrate the Great Liang Imperial Palace?
