Yinshan Record

Chapter 382 Transcendence Through the Method of Ox-Headed King (Part 2)

"This is a prison, a prison for those ancient and primordial alien species."

Su Che said confidently, and everything in front of him gave the Third Young Master Su a strange sense of familiarity.

Indeed, this ancient underworld is so similar to the Yin-Yang realm that a thought arose in Su Che's mind.

Perhaps the ancient Black Emperor referenced the ancient underworld when constructing the Yin-Yang realm.

The core of the seal beneath the Yin-Yang boundary is precisely the spirit of an ancient bilong.

Such a powerful instinct, which allows these ancient and extraordinary creatures to survive countless tribulations, seems to only be best addressed through sealing.

Therefore, Su Che deduced that the ancient underworld in front of him had become a prison. Since it was a prison, the rules of the prison would naturally not be the same as those of the ancient underworld.

From the five signs of decay that unfolded in the alley of evil, to the vast ocean formed by the mysterious and weak water beneath the Bridge of Helplessness, this ancient underworld resembled a cage with all its firepower turned on.

Su Che estimated that this place had long been transformed into a prison for ancient primordial alien species, and the perpetrators were the Xuandu Palace and the Five Emperors of the Five Directions.

Beneath the vast ocean where the Nine Nether Weak Waters converge, there might be a primordial beast no weaker than the ancient Bilong of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Therefore, although the Mirror of Retribution is here, the rules will definitely change.

Sacrifice was the best solution.

If an ancient alien species wants to leave the ancient underworld through the Mirror of Karma, it can only leave by sacrificing another alien species with a cultivation level similar to its own.

This is tantamount to using the prehistoric alien species to eliminate the prehistoric alien species. Is there a more ingenious filter than this?

Without the "jailers" having to lift a finger, the "prisoners" in the prison will kill half of themselves. Even more ingeniously, these ancient alien species trapped in this place will also become less united as a result.

No one can guarantee that their "partners" won't turn them into "sacrifices" to escape this cage.

Thinking of this, Su Che couldn't help but think of Śikṣānanda again. What price did the Vajrayākṣa clan pay when they left this ancient underworld? Could it be that the Vajrayākṣa Vidyā sacrificed Śikṣānanda's mother to finally leave this ancient underworld?

This is a calculated scheme laid bare before the trapped individuals.

Will you sacrifice your companion to get out, or will you work together to find another way?

Su Che felt that the fact that he was standing here today naturally proved the success of this cage.

There are no traces of ancient alien species left in this world. Even if there are occasionally demonic beasts with primordial bloodlines, they generally do not pose a threat.

Young Master Su explained his deductions, while Xue Baizhi frowned.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"of course."

Su Che nodded.

Aren't you afraid I'll sacrifice you?

Xue Baizhi looked at Su Che and realized that she couldn't see through the man in front of her no matter what.

"According to your explanation, my best solution is to have you consume the Mirror Sea Flower and then sacrifice you to this wicked mirror."

Su Che looked at Xue Baizhi with curiosity: "Even if I don't tell you, with your intelligence, you will probably be able to guess it soon."

All this information is out in the open.

Xue Baizhi couldn't figure it out for a while, but she was sure she would be able to find the connection behind it in half a day.

So you're not afraid of dying?

"If you're afraid of death, why bother cultivating immortality?"

Su Che shook his head, then took out another Mirror Sea Flower from his pocket: "I picked three Mirror Sea Flowers in total, Fairy, you may try them."

Xue Baizhi looked at Su Che's Mirror Sea Flower, which resembled ice crystals, and slowly shook her head.

"It can't be done."

"Ok?"

"I can't sacrifice others to achieve my own immortality." Su Che looked at Xue Baizhi with some curiosity.

Su San Gongzi knew that if he were in Xue Baizhi's shoes, he would immediately offer up Fairy Xue without the slightest hesitation.

"My Jade Yang Mountain is the number one Xuanmen in the Central Plains, and we also hone our sword intent against each other."

Xue Baizhi raised an eyebrow, a hint of sharpness flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.

“I would rather sacrifice the straight path than seek the crooked one. If I were to sacrifice you today, I would not be able to face my own sword heart. At that time, I fear that the sword embryo I have painstakingly nurtured would also change, and I would probably find it difficult to make any progress in the future.”

Fairy Xue stepped forward and took the Mirror Sea Flower from Su Che's hand.

"I'll try again."

You sword cultivators are quite interesting.

Su Che looked at Xue Baizhi's outstretched wrist and felt only a slight smile.

No wonder the Chu Yuan I met in the heart of Xuan Mountain was not as good as the Xue Baizhi before me. In terms of uprightness, Chu Yuan was far inferior to Xue Baizhi.

However, rigidity is easily broken, which is not a good thing. It would be better if I were your scabbard.

"Actually, there is another way."

Su Che closed his palm, and Xue Baizhi tried to grab it, but failed in her haste.

"Is there another way?"

“Not bad,” Su Che said, looking at Xue Baizhi. “The ghost general just now passed on a secret technique to me that can guide the mind and seal away all past memories for a moment.”

Xue Baizhi frowned slightly as she listened to Su Che's words. She was one of the elites on Yuyang Mountain and had never heard of such a secret technique in the world.

"According to the fairy, the root of the evil mirror's harm lies in its ability to manipulate memories and use mental illusions to inflict damage. If all memories are sealed away, leaving only the most basic thoughts, then the evil mirror's power will lose its source of power, wouldn't it be as if it has fallen into emptiness?"

The secret technique Su Che mentioned was naturally the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Technique created by the Yin-Yang Dharma King, combined with the Moon Serpent Shadow Seal of the Black Emperor lineage.

The claim that it was passed on by that ghost general was merely a way to increase their own credibility.

After all, if it were some secret technique she had obtained from the martial arts world, Xue Baizhi would probably have just slashed at her with her sword.

If I could obtain a chess piece on Jade Sun Mountain, I could eventually empty their forbidden area, which would strengthen the Yin Mountain formed by the Six Yin Cave Netherworld Treasure Talisman.

The reason why Young Master Su deliberately tested Xue Baizhi just now was to see what kind of character this Fairy Xue had.

If she were a vindictive and opportunistic person, Su Che would be perfectly suited to a righteous and defensive counterattack, directly using the Moon Serpent Shadow Seal to take down Xue Baizhi.

However, since Fairy Xue was so righteous and awe-inspiring, Su Che couldn't openly resort to underhanded tactics.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride and a thousand years to share a pillow. Now that Xiao Su has imprinted the Moon Serpent's Shadow on Xue Baizhi, that's at least a five-hundred-year-old destiny. He should take good care of this Fairy Xue from now on.

"What kind of secret technique is this?"

Xue Baizhi looked at Su Che and Liu Yidao in front of her. She felt that something was strange about him, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

I have a feeling that I've met him somewhere before.

"I can't explain this ancient secret technique either, but I must ask the fairy to allow me to give it a try." Su Che smiled helplessly: "I originally thought it was some kind of extraordinary divine power inheritance, but it turns out it can only be of some use in this ancient underworld."

"Since that senior just passed it on to you, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xue Baizhi, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with malice, suddenly retorted with a question to Su Che.

"The fairy's sword is incredibly sharp; how could I dare to claim such skill?"

Su Che said helplessly, which made Xue Baizhi smile.

"I'll believe you this time."

"I guarantee the fairy won't regret it."
