Chapter 1644: Chapter 1645: Qingqiu Remnant Soul

The situation is undergoing a transformation, yet the tide has not completely turned.

Yu Yanshu observed all of this, acutely aware in her heart.

However, after the initial wavering, Yu Yanshu was exceedingly calm at this moment.

Yes, calm. Even though just a moment ago, she had indeed considered agreeing to Cui Manlou’s requests, Yu Yanshu weighed all the pros and cons before giving this matter clear thought.

The changes in the Primordial Eye have never been kept from Su Chengyu by Yu Yanshu, but some things cannot be described in words; only Yu Yanshu herself knows them clearly.

With her power and realm increasing, Yu Yanshu could feel that she not only could see through illusions and discern people’s hearts but also see through the essence of many things.

For example, Cui Manlou’s words were always somewhat concealed but never deceitful.

Similarly, Bai Qiu’s hidden realm or her inexplicable hostility towards Cui Manlou, Yu Yanshu noticed it all.

Cui Manlou’s attempt to draw her in was sincere. Yu Yanshu didn’t understand why someone of such high status in the Demonic Path would seek someone to place above his position.

Only knowing the intentions of the other party, yet not understanding the reasons behind their behavior, Yu Yanshu could only search for answers from the clues in front of her.

Demonic Path?

She carefully observed Cui Manlou’s power, or rather, something similar to power.

Martial Artists use True Qi, and Cultivators use Mana; this is the case for any Martial Arts Practitioners.

The so-called Dual Cultivation mostly involves methods of converting Mana to True Qi or using Mana directly to drive Martial Arts.

But Cui Manlou’s "power" is different. Cui Manlou, or rather these people of the Demonic Path, their force is fundamentally different from Mana, True Qi, or even the demonic power used by the Demon Clan.

Amidst chaos lies a trace of madness, and while filled with an aura of destruction, it’s bound by a power that prevents one from losing themselves within it.

"What exactly is the Demonic Path?"

Yu Yanshu’s words coincided with a strike from Bai Qiu. As her voice fell along with the thunderous blow, Cui Manlou’s mouth cornered into a smile, allowing the full force of the strike to land on him.

"Courting death!"

This reckless move infuriated Bai Qiu; she anticipated her strike might be blocked but didn’t expect the opponent to underestimate her so, pouring all her strength into it without any reserve.

"Don’t misunderstand, it’s not an underestimation this time; there’s just something I want the Lord of the Sect to see."

An ethereal voice suddenly sounded behind Bai Qiu, and in the instant of her surprise, a wave of repulsion surged from all directions.

From the thoroughly endured strike, an explosion of demonic Qi burst forth, enveloping Bai Qiu in numerous black phantoms.

Bai Qiu surveyed the surroundings, countless shadows of Cui Manlou coldly smirked at her, each with no disparity from the original Primordial Spirit.

"Dharma Body of Thousands?"

"No, it’s not the Dharma Body!"

As Bai Qiu spoke, Yu Yanshu, who saw through the essence, immediately spoke up, gazing at the myriad phantoms before her.

"It’s Divided Spirit. Every phantom here is a Divided Spirit, each equivalent to the true self!"

"How could this be?"

Bai Qiu couldn’t believe it. After the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators can act with the Primordial Spirit, preserving their last hope for rebirth.

Even if one perishes, often a Remnant Soul can leave behind information for successors.

But the Primordial Spirit is not the true self. No matter how complete it is, it doesn’t affect the fundamental Dao, and the cultivation path must restart, retaining only memory and experience.

A Divided Spirit equivalent to the true self? Such a thing, even in the Lower Realm, is almost impossible, let alone feasibly achieved in the Immortal World.

The so-called Nascent Soul, Original Spirit, is never synonymous with invincibility; for an ordinary cultivator, it’s merely an additional precaution.

Of course, in facing a significant power gap or those with special methods, this precaution often fails to function perfectly.

But Cui Manlou’s situation was such, with countless Divided Spirits and true selves. If the Book of Prophecy was correct, doesn’t that mean Cui Manlou has endless backups, making killing someone like him as difficult as Ascension?

"Impressive, coming from the Immortal World; you’ve grasped the essence of the problem so swiftly, haven’t you? Now, do you understand why I’ve remained unperturbed all along?"

"This is impossible!"

Bai Qiu exclaimed, launching an attack towards one of Cui Manlou’s Divided Spirits.

Though numerous Divided Spirits were around, they were each rather ordinary. Under Bai Qiu’s strike, countless of them were obliterated.

Yet, what followed immediately were new phantoms rising from nowhere, unable to threaten Bai Qiu truly, seemingly endless, resisting all her attempts to impede them.

"Lord of the Sect, do you see now? This is the greatest difference between our Demonic Path and those cultivators; we can possess infinite Divided Spirits and forms, as long as one Divided Spirit remains, we are Immortal and Indestructible."

Yu Yanshu listened calmly, contemplated, then said, "No, there must still be one... or perhaps a few that are special. If you destroy those, you will ultimately perish."

"The Lord of the Sect truly has sharp insight; but you should understand that those special Divided Spirits you speak of, I haven’t even allowed them to enter the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm, have I?"

Yu Yanshu fell silent, acknowledging the truth in his words, meaning no matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to deal with Cui Manlou thoroughly.

However, while observing the Divided Spirits, Yu Yanshu suddenly noticed a detail and softly said, "Currently, in the Demonic Path, there’s likely only you who can achieve this level, correct?"

"Yes."

Without any concealment, Cui Manlou sincerely addressed Yu Yanshu, "This is why we need the Lord of the Sect; only with your arrival can we complete the final transformation and sublimation. Only then will our Demonic Path be able to..."

"Be able to what?"

Yu Yanshu asked, pursuing the topic.

Realizing he’d piqued Yu Yanshu’s interest, Cui Manlou smirked and gently laughed, "You’ll have to join us before I can divulge that truth."

"Wishful thinking!"

Bai Qiu bellowed once more, tearing apart a Divided Spirit, yet again more Divided Spirits surged, proving futile.

"I’ve told you it’s futile. Do you really think you can eradicate all of me here?"

Facing Cui Manlou’s words, Bai Qiu remained silent, her cold eyes fixing on the guy ahead, lowering her gaze a little.

Noticing something amiss, Cui Manlou frowned, lowering his head sharply as an overwhelmingly fierce Demon Qi erupted, covering half of the Tomb’s region.

"This is the stronghold of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan; it’s not your place, a being of a Foreign Clan, to act so presumptuously!"

Within the Demon Qi, a phantom of a Fox Demon in green robes and with scarlet eyes sat, its gaze coldly fixating on Cui Manlou.

Startled by this unexpected God’s Soul of the Demon God, Cui Manlou looked in bewilderment and said, "Green Hillock Empress?"
