Chapter 146 : What a Coincidence, Mine Is Also Male
Unless Mo Qingchen still had a thread of affection remaining.
This was a major taboo in the Way of Heartlessness.
The Way of Heartlessness emphasized severing all emotions and love, not allowing even a shred of sentiment to remain in one's heart. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult to reach the pinnacle of the Way, but there was also a high risk of opponents exploiting this weakness, disrupting one's sword heart.
In the original story, Gu Chang'an had made this very mistake.
Mo Qingchen's thread of affection should be with Qin Xixue. After all, being able to become the male lead rather than a celibate ascetic proved that in the original story, his emotional ties weren't completely severed either.
Chu Sang sighed. Indeed, one must rely on oneself for everything.
Dealing with the Shadow Demon King before her wasn't difficult. A single burst of demonic energy from her could instantly cause it to undergo cellular division. However, Mo Qingchen's presence somewhat restricted her actions.
After all, this man's entire family had been annihilated by the demon race, and he harbored a deep hatred for demonic energy. Even in the original story, the real reason he killed her wasn't because of her foolish provocations towards Qin Xixue, but because the original Chu Sang had developed a heart demon and was on the verge of falling into the demonic path. Unable to accept this fact, Mo Qingchen had run her through with his sword, directly eliminating the possibility of her turning to the dark side at its source.
One had to admit, his logic was unparalleled.
Chu Sang thought of the sword technique she had obtained from the cave. The profound meaning within this technique was clearly beyond the comprehension of a mere Golden Core cultivator. However, she had always enjoyed challenging herself. She allocated all her remaining points to insight, twirled her sword in a flourish, a flash of golden light passing through her eyes. This sword technique had an extremely high compatibility with Mystic Spirit.
The first move of the Immortal Ascension Sword Technique—
A sword from the west, an immortal beyond the sky.
The snow-white sword light moved so swiftly that it left no trace, piercing through the Shadow King's body in a single strike, once again scattering it into tens of thousands of small shadow demons.
Even Chu Sang was greatly shocked.
This was just the first move, and it was already this powerful?
Dealing with the small shadow demons was much simpler.
Mo Qingchen used his ice spiritual power to cover the entire cave, freezing all the panicking and fleeing small shadow demons in place. Chu Sang then threw out a handful of spirit fire. With the rapid expansion and contraction, infinite stress was created. In the instant the ice shattered, tens of thousands of shadow demons also shattered along with it.
"Junior Sister!"
Even from such a distance, Tantai Ming's wailing could be heard.
Chu Sang had just resolved the crisis here when she walked out of the cave following the sound, only to find that Big Senior Brother and the others had actually come down to the bottom of the cliff to look for her.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to chat.
"That thunder lion was dealt with by Big Senior Brother in just two or three moves. It was so cool! Sure enough, there was a treasure hidden in that beast's lair. It was a Thunder Spirit Stone with a full hundred thousand years of age!" Wen Renyue exclaimed excitedly, as if sharing in the glory.
Chu Sang blinked. Thunder Spirit Stones were formed by condensing the pure thunder power from the heavens. Even those with ten thousand years of age were extremely rare and sought after, let alone one with a hundred thousand years. It was equivalent to saying that an extremely powerful heavenly thunder had struck down a hundred thousand years ago, and through a series of coincidences and after a long period of sedimentation, it had formed into just a single Thunder Spirit Stone. It couldn't be more perfect for Big Senior Brother's thunder spirit root, and it could serve as the sword heart for his Tai'e sword.
"It's pitch black down here, and it's creepy. Let's go up," Tang Yanling said, somewhat fearfully.
Changsheng concentrated a strand of green light at her fingertips, and the surrounding shrubs and plants began to sway actively. Then she opened her eyes and pointed excitedly in a direction, "The exit is over there!"
Seeing that the Lingqing Sect members had climbed back up from the bottom of the cliff, Qin Xixue's expression became quite unpleasant, her nails almost piercing into her palm beneath her sleeve. This Chu Sang really had great luck!
Afraid that others might notice something odd, she took a deep breath and went to show concern for Mo Qingchen, "Senior Brother, I'm so glad you're alright. I was worried that you might..."
"If you were so worried, why didn't you go down to look for your Senior Brother? Just standing up here waiting, one might think you were eagerly waiting to collect his corpse."
A sarcastic voice came from not far away.
