Chapter 212: Parting Is Inevitable

There weren't many words on the scroll, and Qin Mu gave the writing a quick once-over. Instantly, various types of cultivation logic regarding the soul appeared in his mind.

Dutian Devil King had told him that there were spells of Youdu on the scroll, but it showed up that was just another lie to entice him.

”At least there is still one sentence out of ten I say that is true. Since in Dutian Devil King's speech, only one sentence among a hundred of them is true,” Qin Mu thought to himself. ”Out of all the things he said to me, only the language of Youdu was true, everything else was a lie!”

He analyzed the scroll in detail. If he comprehended the entire marvel of the writings there, he could indeed comprehend some spells regarding souls. However, the most important use of this scroll was to strengthen the soul, while the soul spell was only secondary.

Qin Mu memorized the writings on the scroll and closed it to meditate. He tried to figure out the marvel of the writings, trying to comprehend a kind of soul spell.

Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures had spells related to soul and Barbarian Di Empire also had these kinds of spells. The Thunderclap Eight Strikes that Old Ma had taught him as well as the Great Freedom Mudra of the devil race were also spells that were targeted at souls.

Soul Guide of Nine Spectres Sect was an even more outstanding divine art.

If he could compare the runes of the words, he could increase his power!

Qin Mu thought for a long time before slowly walking into his courtyard. With every action and step, he incorporated the words of Youdu into the move Sunshine Refining Yang Soul In The Sky.

This was one of the moves of Thunderclap Eight Strikes, the greatest battle technique in Rulai's Mahayana Sutra. Its power was strong and fierce since it had been improved by the previous generations of Rulai to its extreme, to the point it couldn't be improved anymore.

Yet now, Qin Mu was improving this move. He had never cultivated Rulai's Mahayana Sutra, but ever since Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures had fused with Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and unified all skills, the power of Thunderclap Eight Strikes had become stronger and stronger, being no weaker than of those who cultivated Rulai's Mahayana Sutra.

He practiced move after move, one punch after another. With the fist as heart mudra and the heart mudra as the sun, every punch gave off the sound of rolling thunder and the intensity of the blazing sun. As the yang soul was refined, the power was gradually raised.

The move Sunshine Refining Yang Soul In The Sky had not much use against the corporeal body. Even if it looked powerful, it was only targeted at the soul.

Qin Mu practiced this move over and over again, and a trace of fire was gradually forced out from the fist mudra. This flame was different from ordinary flames, it was the karma fire that burns the soul.

Every punch of his brought along karma fire, and gradually, the karma fire became more and more intense, turning the surroundings of the fist into a blazing scarlet-red sun.

The more he punched, the more he used to it he got, which left him unable to resist howling endlessly. Suddenly, a huge sun exploded out in the sky, and flames surged forth in all directions, covering the entire courtyard in karma fire.

Qin Mu retracted his stance back and let out a shallow breath. Suddenly, his heart wavered and he opened his door to see Sword Hall Master walking over with quick steps.

Qin Mu invited him in and asked, ”Sword Hall, what's the rush?”

”Heavenly King Lu is injured,” Sword Hall said in a low voice, his expression solemn. ”He's at my place now and wants to meet cult master. His condition… is very bad!”

Qin Mu's heart leaped out, and he hurried out of his courtyard with Sword Hall.

”Cult master, I'm embarrassed to meet you with these injuries since I can't greet you due to their severity,” Heavenly King Lu said with embarrassment as he lay on the bed and struggled to get up yet was unable to.

Qin Mu shook his head and went forward to check on his injuries, frowning slightly. The man's clothes were tattered, and there were even bloodstains on his white hair and beard.

Heavenly King Lu's injuries were even worse than those of Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. He must have been injured by fighting with a few strong practitioners of the cult master level!

His injuries were not only on the physical body, but even his divine treasures were injured. The damage to his soul was also extremely serious!

All of his seven great divine treasures had suffered devastating blows. His spirit embryo was petrified, three of his Five Element Gods were destroyed, only two pillars of his Six Directions Divine Treasure were left, while his Seven Stars Divine Treasure, Celestial Being Divine Treasure, Life and Death Realm were crushed in their entirety. The only flying bridge in his Divine Bridge Realm was also broken.

It would have been fine if it was only these injuries, but the crucial point was that he was already old and his body was no longer like it was in the past. It was difficult for his physical body to hold together his soul which was about to crumble.

Heavenly King Lu took in a deep breath and said, ”Cult master, I've located Heavenly King Qian's whereabouts…”

”Stop talking first.”

Qin Mu took out two bottles of dragon's saliva to heal the injuries on his body. He then let him drink another bottle and muttered to himself irresolutely while writing down the names of herbs, telling Sword Hall Master to grab them from the warehouse. As for whether those herbs could heal Heavenly King Lu, he had no certainty. The best result would be him surviving but becoming useless, while the worst result…

Sword Hall Master left in a hurry. The injuries on Heavenly King Lu's body got better, but those on his soul and divine treasures became even more serious as he panted. ”Heavenly King Qian has already died. I followed his trail, but someone used his clothes to bring me on a wild goose chase that led into an ambush…”

Qin Mu frowned. ”Who ambushed you?”

”They didn't reveal their faces, but I recognized their divine arts.”

Heavenly King Lu's body contorted. This was due to the injuries bursting forth in his soul and causing him pain. Heavenly King Lu gritted his teeth and endured it. His white hair shook along with his body as he chuckled. ”They did it for the art of teleportation of our sacred cult… Cult master, I can't assist you anymore, I'm ashamed for failing Patriarch's instructions—”
