Chapter 694 The Law of the End of Fortune, Fate-Bound Treasures
Su Che nodded.

Jiang Shoucheng was half right.

The so-called "preserving the spirit and reflecting the image" is a supernatural secret method in the "Tai Su Jiu You Cheng Zhao Dan Jue". Specifically, it can be divided into two steps.

The first step is "preserving the spirit".

Once you reach the Rejuvenation Core stage, you no longer need to suppress ghosts as before. As long as you capture a trace of a ghost's aura, whether it's its shape or its name, you can store it within your Dao Foundation and let it evolve into a spiritual form.

When facing an enemy, one can transform one's own true essence to create a similar ghostly being, which can then be controlled to fight. This step is called "shadowing," and the ghostly being created will possess supernatural powers similar to its original form.

From its origins, this supernatural power is a simplified evolution of the Xuanmen's great supernatural power "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," which can be considered a special version for ghost cultivators.

However, the method Su Che used was different from the original method.

One difference is that Su Che skipped the "preservation of spirit" step and instead borrowed his original essence directly from the several Void Walkers suppressed in Ruomu.

The second difference is that the power used to drive the evolved avatars, namely the "shadowing" step, is not Su Che's magic power, but is drawn from their original bodies.

“Junior Brother Su is indeed powerful. Ordinary people who reach the Core Formation stage can at most conjure up a few ghosts at the Divine Transformation stage. Even fellow disciples who are proficient in this technique and can conjure up Core Formation ghosts would not have the power of Junior Brother Su.”

Jiang Shoucheng said with great emotion, "Junior Brother is indeed worthy of being a disciple of Uncle Wei."

This conversation, after going around in circles, has somehow circled back to Yu Lizi.

"Everyone says that Junior Brother Su is the reincarnation of the ancient Azure Emperor, but I would say he is the reincarnation of the Black Emperor."

Li Shouchang joked.

"There is something I would like to ask my two senior brothers to take a look at."

As Su Che spoke, he took out the frozen item from his sleeve.

Although the icy chill remained, the object that had flown out of Young Master Lian's body continued to writhe, albeit very slowly, wriggling there.

Now we can observe it closely.

Su Che saw that the creature was covered in golden scales, and its shape was neither dragon nor snake. It had countless long legs growing all over its body, and it was constantly writhing.

"How strange! Where did this living creature come from?"

Li Shouchang stretched out his hand and gently lifted it up, and a stream of magical power slowly raised the object.

"That pill that just flew out of the White Deer Cave, could it be a demonic seed?"

Su Che asked as he spoke.

“This is definitely not a demon seed. Demon seeds are neither real nor illusory. Only members of the demonic sect can have them in their bodies after being replaced. They are impossible to detect and are definitely not living things like this.”

In the outer void, Li Shouchang interacted most with demonic cultivators.

"It looks somewhat like a dragon seed. Junior Brother Su, what method did you use to seal it?"

"It uses the chill of the Cold Dragon."

"Cold Dragon? That's it, the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual can conjure up a white dragon."

Jiang Shoucheng continued, "You should remove that chill."

Upon hearing this, Su Che immediately withdrew the chill from his fingertips. He saw the strange insect writhing incessantly, actually following a trajectory straight towards the sky.

"Where to go?"

A five-colored light leaped from Jiang Shouchang's palm. The strange insect was brushed by the divine light, and although it slowed down slightly, its escape speed remained unchanged.

"end."

Seeing the object accelerate, Jiang Shoucheng immediately chanted an incantation and used his divine sense to trap it in mid-air.

"Even your Reversed Five Elements Divine Light couldn't trap it, so it seems this thing shouldn't be within the Five Elements."

Seeing this, Li Shouchang opened his mouth and gently spat out a small white flame that spread across the insect's body. "True Fire of Ignorance, are you serious?"

Jiang Shoucheng's eyes widened, and he quickly withdrew his divine sense to look at the insect that was constantly writhing in the firelight.

This True Fire of Ignorance is an extremely powerful supernatural ability within the Yellow Heaven Dao.

This supernatural power uses one's own innate vital energy as fuel to burn away the very foundation of all spiritual existence; it is a secret technique that harms oneself before harming others.

However, its power is immense. Just now, Jiang Shoucheng controlled this twisted insect with his divine sense. If Li Shouchang were to burn it with his Li Mei True Fire, it would burn all the way to his own spiritual essence along with his divine sense.

Of course, because this supernatural power requires one's own innate vital energy as fuel, it can only be practiced by those at the Void Step Realm or above within the Yellow Heaven Path.

Otherwise, instead of burning the enemy to death with a single fire, you'll burn away your own lifespan first.

The insect was burned by the True Fire of Li Mei, and its legs cracked and charred, revealing its originally smooth body. However, its head and tail were intertwined, forming a small ball, and it became silent in an instant.

Its originally golden body turned azure, transforming into a jade dragon that spun around in mid-air.

Li Shouchang stared at it for a long time before finally recognizing what it was.

"Junior Brother Su, are you sure this thing flew out from that White Deer Cave disciple?"

"Absolutely no mistake."

Su Che looked at the harmless jade ball.

"You're lucky you ran into me. If anyone else from the sect had been with you, they would never have known what this was."

Li Shouchang was a junior master craftsman among the younger generation of Huang Tiandao's disciples. He was well-informed from his frequent visits to various markets in the outer void and recognized the unusual origin of this item.

"This thing was popular in the outer realms for a period of time. It was called the Law Extinction Pearl. It was said to be a magical artifact that came from the Western Kingdom. Once it was used, it could suppress the power of laws and turn the surrounding area into a forbidden zone of supernatural powers. However, it has been seen less often since then."

Li Shouchang smiled slightly and said, "However, I know that this thing does not originate from the Western Kingdom, but is made by refining destiny."

"Destiny?"

Su Che thought of how Bailudong, under the guise of protecting the common people, was searching everywhere for so-called hegemonic destinies and making a big fuss about the word "destiny."

Could it be that the Dharma Extinction Pearl also flowed out from the White Deer Cave?
"Destiny is something ethereal and elusive, without any basis. How can it be extracted? And even refined into such a magical artifact? Every living person has a destiny. Could it be that you and I can also cultivate something like this within ourselves?"

Jiang Shoucheng remained completely baffled.

"Because I refined this bead."

Li Shouchang smiled and said, "I know how to refine the Dharma Extinction Pearl, so I tried it out. The True Fire of Desolation broke through the layer that was surrounding the destiny, restoring it to its original state. If I hadn't taken action, the destiny would have dissipated into the world."

"Although I don't understand where this thing from Bailudong came from."

Su Che said coldly, "However, they have obviously mastered some kind of method to transform, refine, and transplant fate."

"It is somewhat similar to the Gu techniques of the Witchcraft Clan, and also somewhat close to the Demonic Clan's methods of planting demons."

Jiang Shoucheng frowned.

What exactly is Bailudong trying to do?

"It's okay, just go to their door and turn them upside down, then we'll know."

Li Shouchang presented the small bead to Su Che.

"Junior Brother Su, it seems I'll have to ask you for help again this time."

Su Che smiled.

"I can't ask for it."
