Chapter 369 - 225: A Day’s Time, Fragment of the Demon Planting Art
In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, Concealing Spells are also quite rare.
Their rarity is on par with Escape Techniques.
Most Foundation Establishment Cultivators have no way of learning an Earth Grade Concealing Spell.
’I have to study this Magic properly. Once I learn it, my ability to save my own skin will increase significantly.’
After a quick look, Li Chang’an put it away.
He then left Soul-breaking Cliff and flew swiftly back to Changqing Mountain.
…
「That night.」
Deep within the cave residence on Changqing Mountain.
Li Chang’an took out the Venerable Soul Banner and released the Soul of Murong Kang’s avatar from within it.
The man seemed a bit more lucid than before.
He looked at Li Chang’an and asked.
“Who are you?”
“Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is, who are you?”
Li Chang’an’s expression was calm as he sat on an elevated spot, asking him faintly.
The man looked confused, as if deep in thought. After a long while, he finally spoke.
“I… I seem to be Liang Yu.”
’He can remember his name. It seems some of his memories have returned.’
Li Chang’an didn’t want Liang Yu to remain confused forever.
After all, he still wanted to obtain the Demon Planting Technique from this guy’s memories.
Although it was just an avatar, and the Demon Planting Technique it possessed was likely incomplete, it could at least serve as a reference.
With a thought, he released Sima Rui’s Soul.
“Sima Rui, take a good look. Is this man your junior brother?”
“Junior brother?”
Sima Rui was puzzled and looked closely.
After seeing Liang Yu’s face.
He couldn’t help but be startled.
“Little Junior Brother?”
“Sixth Senior Brother…”
Liang Yu replied subconsciously.
A trace of confusion appeared on his face again, as if he couldn’t understand why he would call out like that.
Li Chang’an asked, “Sima Rui, are you sure this is your Fourteenth Junior Brother, Liang Yu?”
“Yes!”
Sima Rui was absolutely certain.
“But Little Junior Brother has been missing for many years. Where did you find him?”
“I killed Murong Kang and performed a Soul Summoning on him, but this man’s Soul was what came out.”
“What?”
Sima Rui was stunned.
All these years, he had always thought that Liang Yu had perhaps died accidentally somewhere or was trapped in a Secret Realm.
But what Li Chang’an said was completely beyond his expectations.
“Why is Junior Brother Murong’s Soul actually Junior Brother Liang? Could it be because of the Demon Planting Technique?”
“That’s right.”
Li Chang’an spoke in a calm tone, recounting the previous battle to him.
After listening.
Sima Rui was lost in thought for a long time.
He understood why Li Chang’an had called him out.
Next.
Sima Rui pulled Liang Yu aside and began telling him about their past, trying to awaken all his memories.
After a while.
Li Chang’an released Chu Xiong’s Soul as well.
“Junior Brother Liang?”
Chu Xiong’s eyes widened the moment he saw Liang Yu’s Soul.
He immediately went forward to ask what had happened.
After learning what had transpired.
Chu Xiong couldn’t help but curse.
“That damn Murong Kang! If it weren’t for him and his disciple, I wouldn’t have ended up in this state!”
“To think, Little Junior Brother was also harmed by him.”
Afterward.
Chu Xiong also began to talk with Liang Yu, trying to awaken his memories.
Through the continuous efforts of the two senior brothers.
The confusion in Liang Yu’s eyes gradually faded. He had already recalled most of his past, but some parts remained unclear.
In the end.
Sima Rui made a suggestion.
He suggested that Li Chang’an take Liang Yu to see his daoist partner.
“Junior Brother Liang and his daoist partner, Jiang Yuping, were deeply in love.”
“During the years he was missing, his daoist partner never stopped looking for him. She even learned a Divination Skill for his sake.”
Sima Rui stated.
If he saw his daoist partner, Liang Yu might be able to remember everything.
Li Chang’an agreed immediately.
He waited for the night’s Divination to refresh. After getting a “Fortuitous” result, he took Liang Yu’s Soul, left Changqing Mountain overnight, and headed for Yu Yu Mountain, a Tier Two Spirit Vein outside Yellow Crane Immortal City.
This Spirit Vein.
Was the Cultivation Dojo of Liang Yu’s daoist partner, Jiang Yuping.
Although the mountain was enveloped by a Tier Two Array, Li Chang’an easily seized control of it without alerting its master.
Soon.
He saw Jiang Yuping.
’This woman’s condition doesn’t seem very good.’
At this moment, Jiang Yuping was sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak, using a Divination Technique to deduce Liang Yu’s whereabouts.
She was gaunt and withered, her aura faint, like a patient on their deathbed.
Having spent years with the Venerable Soul Banner, Li Chang’an was extremely sensitive to Souls.
He quickly discovered.
Jiang Yuping’s Soul was dissipating.
’Forcibly using a Divination Skill that exceeds her own Divination Tier has caused a backlash, and her Soul is scattering.’
Li Chang’an saw the reason for Jiang Yuping’s dissipating Soul at a glance.
The backlash had already taken hold, and this dissipation was irreversible.
If she stopped the Divination immediately, rested properly, and found some Treasures that could nourish the Soul, she could slow the dissipation and live a little longer.
But Jiang Yuping did not stop.
“A’Yu, where are you? I can clearly feel that you’ve returned…”
Heedless of her dissipating Soul, she used the Divination Technique again and again, her face growing paler as she murmured in a low voice.
Liang Yu was right beside Li Chang’an.
A pained expression was on his face as countless vague and distant fragments flashed through his mind, so remote they seemed to belong to a past life, making them difficult for him to see clearly.
After an indeterminate amount of time.
He struggled to speak, calling out her name.
“Yuping…”
And at that very moment.
Liang Yu finally remembered everything.
Everything from this life—from stepping onto the path of Cultivation Immortality, to being ambushed by Murong Kang, to being killed by Li Chang’an—all the memories connected, becoming clear in his mind.
Seeing his daoist partner reduced to such a state in her search for him.
His eyes were filled with pain.
“Daoist Li, I beg for your help!”
“Daoist Liang, you’ve remembered everything?”
“Yes!”
Without any concealment, Liang Yu immediately began to speak of what happened back then.
Back then.
He had become a disciple under Huang He Master.
