Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 646: Chapter 322: Dividing the Legacy with Yun Yao

Fortunately, he remained cautious and only sent an avatar to investigate.

At the same time, it’s also fortunate that he possessed the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine. With every thread of his divine sense read, he came to realize the terrifying methods inscribed there.

"A Tier Four Middle Stage Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, so cunning as to hide threads of divine sense in every jade scroll and treasure."

The subtlety of manipulating divine sense in this manner was unheard of; only a Yin Spirit with innate divine soul talent could achieve such precision.

"Originally at Tier Four Late Stage strength, it suffered a calculated attack, its essence was wounded, and its cultivation plummeted, leaving it trapped on the island."

Upon this thought, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but quietly tremble.

This Tier Four Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King was extremely deceitful, setting traps using unfathomable means.

Moreover, the opponent used a ghostly divine technique, residing within the cultivator’s divine sense, achieving manipulation without anyone knowing.

This kind of possession didn’t affect the target’s independence, including memory and intelligence, yet it completely turned the cultivators into puppets.

"Using this method, the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King sought a way to escape in the Immortal Cultivation Realm."

The beast itself was trapped on the island, knowing well that if there was a way to refine it with the Yin Veins, there must also be a way to break free.

"Then how strong must Bihai Palace be to orchestrate everything behind the scenes!"

He couldn’t believe the methods of the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King could evade Bihai Palace’s notice.

At the thought of the plotting behind it, Lin Chang’an felt his scalp tingle.

"These Nascent Soul cultivators’ means and schemes, in the future, I must refrain from getting involved."

At this moment, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat; he dared not imagine how many so-called fortunate cultivators in recent years were actually possessed.

And how many cultivators cultivating around the ghostly zones had already been possessed.

"This isn’t good, Yun Yao has been cultivating on the outskirts of the ghostly zones for years, I must warn her!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an felt a tightness in his heart and immediately took out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be an issue; over the years, Yun Yao visited him for joint cultivation sessions now and then.

If Yun Yao were truly possessed, his Profound Celestial Mana would naturally react.

But there’s no harm in reminding, lest Yun Yao falls victim to cunning schemes.

...

In the depths of Spirit Island of the Yin Soul Sect.

In a dark, eerie hall, on a throne made of skulls, a sinister figure slowly opened eyes devoid of human emotions.

"Exposed again! Damn, Bihai Palace! Bihai Palace..."

The furious howl echoed in the empty hall as the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King cursed Bihai Palace, unable to conceal the fear deep in its pupils.

Its methods were hidden but not without the existence of cautious individuals like Lin Chang’an.

Using puppets, or other means to investigate treasures, though its divine sense appeared potent, there was only one chance.

If evaded, without any action from the opponent, its divine sense thread would dissipate.

And most cultivators would at most lose some divine sense of an avatar puppet.

...

After this incident, Lin Chang’an immediately packed up and headed for the Five Dragons Island Sea Region.

Even allowing the Yin Spirit Beast King’s twin-headed tiger to re-ingest all the spoils.

"Brother Lin!"

Under the scorching sun, on an island, Yun Yao also arrived with a grave expression to meet him.

After hearing Lin Chang’an’s warning, Yun Yao rarely showed a look of shock.

"Divine sense capable of transforming into countless threads, attaching hiddenly to jade scrolls and corpses, a divine technique supposedly only capable for late-stage Nascent Souls.

Moreover, the cultivator must have practiced top-tier divine sense techniques; otherwise, such a feat would be impossible."

In certain aspects of insight, Yun Yao, within a Nascent Soul sect, indeed had far superior knowledge than Lin Chang’an.

After Lin Chang’an recounted the events, Yun Yao astonishingly could trace the origin of such divine techniques.

This was what Lin Chang’an lacked when compared with sect disciples.

"Given Brother Lin’s account, the underlying plot is terrifying beyond comprehension!"

Yun Yao’s expression also grew solemn.

"On the Ghostly Island of the Yin Soul Sect, Bihai Palace is likely orchestrating a grand scheme."

At this moment, as Lin Chang’an held Yun Yao’s slender wrist, after repeatedly confirming she wasn’t possessed, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"It was by sheer chance I realized this ourselves."

Lin Chang’an let out a light sigh as he spoke, and after the shock, Yun Yao, witnessing his worry, couldn’t help but let a smile curve at her lips.

"Don’t worry Brother Lin, Yun Yao doesn’t lack in cultivation resources; I merely cultivate on the outskirts of the ghostly zones."

Backed by a Nascent Soul Major Sect like the Yin Soul Sect, one’s talent there proves beneficial far more than ordinary Loose Cultivators.

The opportunities on the outskirts of the Yin Soul Sect weren’t very tempting for Yun Yao, a sect disciple, whereas internal opportunities were enticing even for Nascent Souls, yet beyond reach for them.

Thus, these years Yun Yao purely focused on cultivation.

"Though I’m oblivious to what Bihai Palace is plotting, I know the Old Ghost Xuanyin always covets the Yin Soul Sect’s inheritance and a particular treasure."

Thinking of this, Yun Yao couldn’t help but show a gloating smile.

So long as Old Ghost Xuanyin was discontent, she felt happy.

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel a twitch at the corner of his mouth, having no idea from whom Yun Yao learned to be so petite and petty.

"This issue can’t be concealed from Nascent Soul cultivators for long; since Bihai Palace knows, it’s only a matter of time for other forces too. Yun Yao, you might as well report this chance to Old Ghost Xuanyin..."
