Chapter 1187 Secret Method
Lu Xiaolu said, "The trouble is the trouble of the Exorcism Division, it won't happen to you, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Everyone has the right to kill demons. Our four major sects not only kill demons, but also evil spirits."

"The main thing is to kill demons," Lu Xiaolu said. "I think demons deserve to be killed even more than evil spirits, because they completely feed on humans."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

Lu Xiaolu said, "The Undying Evil Lords are such troublesome; once you get involved, you'll never have peace. You must never touch them."

“I have already destroyed their statues,” Chu Zhiyuan said, “They’ve already touched me; there’s no escaping it.”

Lu Xiaolu frowned slightly: "Did you see them while you were cultivating, or while you were sleeping?"

She was worried.

This Undying Evil Lord is extremely difficult to deal with; once you're entangled with him, he'll relentlessly pursue you until he dies.

This immortal evil lord cannot be destroyed.

Ordinary evil lords, once their statues are destroyed, sever their connection with this world and completely expel them from it.

But this Undying Evil Lord is different; firstly, its statue cannot be destroyed and can always be restored.

Even if it can be destroyed, it will continue to appear, falling from the sky, and it will be impossible to destroy it completely.

What makes this Undying Evil Lord truly terrifying is that, unlike ordinary evil lords, it does not need to rely on statues to unleash its power, nor does it need to gather power through successors.

Instead, the power is delivered directly through contact, without the need for a statue.

The most crucial element is the attack on the mental world.

Once it marks a target, it will linger in the target's mental world, constantly interfering and attacking until the target goes mad and dies.

The latter is the most terrifying.

In ancient times, countless top experts died at the hands of the Undying Evil Lord.

Many who die from qi deviation are often killed by immortal evil spirits.

As time passed, the Undying Evil Lord seemed to have withdrawn from this world.

Unexpectedly, they came back again.

Chu Zhiyuan's encounter with them can only be described as extremely bad luck!
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I didn't sense their presence."

"...Is it different now?" Lu Xiaolu tilted her head and thought for a moment: "After such a long period of time, they have been severely damaged and no longer have the power and strength they once had? Otherwise, the statues would not have been completely destroyed. You know, the statues of the Undying Evil Lord cannot be destroyed."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It must be because of the Demon-Subduing Blade."

“Your Demon-Subduing Blade is indeed powerful, but it’s more likely that it has become weaker because of them,” Lu Xiaolu said.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "That would be perfect. Given their nature, if they really had a way to kill me, they would have done so long ago."

“That’s right!” Lu Xiaolu immediately perked up, her worries vanished, and her gloomy face brightened as she chuckled, “Junior brother, you’ve always been very lucky.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, "However, senior sisters, it would be best if you didn't touch them for now."

"Of course," Lu Xiaolu hurriedly said, "What if it really is your Demon-Subduing Blade that's so powerful?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It says here that there is a secret method that can completely destroy the Undying Evil Lord."

“Junior brother, you’re dreaming,” Lu Xiaolu laughed. “How could such a secret technique be written down on paper?”

Chu Zhiyuan took out a white bead from his sleeve and placed it on the ancient book.

Lu Xiaolu looked at the white bead with curiosity. It was perfectly round and flawless, about the size of a longan.

It was originally unremarkable, but after being placed in an ancient book, it began to emit a soft, luminous glow.

"What is this?" Lu Xiaolu asked curiously, "What kind of treasure is it?"

"The Myriad Manifestations Pearl," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "is a wondrous object from beyond the heavens that can see through all illusions in the world."

"The Myriad Manifestations Pearl of the Imperial Court?" Lu Xiaolu asked in surprise, "How did you get it?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled but remained silent.

This Myriad Manifestations Pearl is not the original Myriad Manifestations Pearl. Instead, it is a round jade pearl that I made myself and then sealed the power of the Myriad Manifestations Pearl inside it.

This was made entirely based on the engraved patterns inside the Wanxiang Pearl.

Lu Xiaolu smiled sweetly: "As expected of my junior brother."

She guessed that Chu Zhiyuan had borrowed it through connections.

So he examined the Myriad Manifestations Pearl and watched the shimmering light illuminate the ancient books.

In the soft, luminous light, the ancient books gradually became ethereal and transparent.

But some things are not transparent.

What was opaque was a picture, a picture of a tree and a picture of a person.

A man is striking a strange pose, but in his mind is a giant tree.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He recognized the tree in the picture immediately; it was the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree.

"This is..." Lu Xiaolu exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that secret technique?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Isn't it very possible?"

"This is a visualization diagram," Lu Xiaolu said. "Junior brother, try to see if you can master it."

Chu Zhiyuan lifted one leg and placed the other on the ground, extending both palms out and forming a strange hand seal with each finger.

Slowly close your eyes.

His mind was already connected with the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree, and with a little contemplation, he suddenly achieved enlightenment.

Suddenly, the phantom of the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree appeared in his mind, emitting a soft golden light. The soft golden light spread throughout the void of his mind, and instantly his mood became calm and peaceful. All negative thoughts disappeared, leaving him carefree and fearless.

……

Above his head, a giant, transparent tree radiating a soft light slowly emerged from the void.

This transparent giant tree is as if it were made of crystal, with its trunk stretching into the void as if leading to an endless depth.

The roots of the giant tree were buried in his head, as if everything was from his imagination.

In the soft light, tiny, bright particles of light, like dust, drifted down from the leaves and branches, landing on him.

He was enveloped in soft light and dust.

Lu Xiaolu stared in disbelief.

Chu Zhiyuan was immersed in this strange state of mind. After a while, he reluctantly opened his eyes and smiled.

The shadow of the giant tree in the void above his head gradually faded away, as if it had merged into the void.

It's obvious at a glance that it hasn't disappeared, it's just hidden.

Chu Zhiyuan had a big smile on his face.

I never expected it to be such a coincidence, which allowed me to master it so easily and naturally.

"Senior brother, you've mastered it!" Lu Xiaolu's beautiful eyes were fixed on him as she sighed with admiration.

"You've mastered it," Chu Zhiyuan nodded. "It's somewhat similar to my Demon-Subduing Blade, and the power originates from the same source... No wonder it was able to destroy the statue of the Undying Evil Lord and has remained undisturbed."

Lu Xiaolu's bright eyes widened: "What a coincidence?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "It's just such a coincidence."

“No wonder…” Lu Xiaolu exclaimed, “Then I’ll give it a try.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Xiaolu stared at the patterns in the ancient book, slowly raised one leg, stood on one leg, and stretched out her fair hands to the left and right, forming strange hand seals.

She then slowly closed her bright eyes and entered into meditation without moving.

Chu Zhiyuan looked her over, watching her expression gradually change from calm to heavy, and gently shook his head.

The Demon-Subduing Divine Tree is not something that can be easily visualized; it requires immense mental strength.

Without personally seeing the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree, one cannot imagine its grandeur and divine charm, let alone contemplate it.

He felt that it was almost impossible to master this secret technique by following this diagram.

Only those with extraordinary talent can hope to master it.

Chu Zhiyuan thought to himself that if he had never seen the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree and had not been mentally connected with it, he would not have been able to master this technique.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xiaolu opened her bright eyes, her jade-like face flushed as if drunk, her eyes glazed over, looking as if she were intoxicated.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

This is due to excessive mental exertion.

"Senior sister, how is it?"

“…No, I have no clue how to do it, I can’t learn it.” Lu Xiaolu said dejectedly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "This secret technique cannot be forced, nor is it necessary to master it."

“Sigh…” Lu Xiaolu shook her head and said, “A secret technique that drives people to despair! You won’t know until you try it.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If I didn't have the Demon-Subduing Blade, I wouldn't have been able to master it."

"Forget it, it's good that you've mastered it." Lu Xiaolu said helplessly, "As long as you, Junior Brother, can deal with these Undying Evil Lords, that's fine."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "In the future, if there are any such matters, just leave them to me."

“Sigh…” Lu Xiaolu was still somewhat unwilling. She looked at the transparent ancient book in the soft light and sighed, “It seems that it was indeed because of the Demon-Subduing Blade that you were able to avoid the attacks of the Undying Evil Lord.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

He put the Myriad Manifestations Pearl back into his sleeve, and the soft light disappeared, leaving the ancient book as it was.

The previous transparency and the visualized image seemed to have never appeared.

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Then a young girl appeared gracefully and said in a clear voice, "Senior Sister Lu, a senior brother from Tianjian Courtyard came looking for Senior Brother Chu. He said that Chief Huang from the Exorcising Evil Division is looking for him."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Senior sister, I'll head back now."

Lu Xiaolu said, "Alright, I want to practice this secret technique some more."

"Senior sister, you're not feeling well, it's best not to push yourself too hard, lest something go wrong."

"Don't worry, I'll stop as soon as something goes wrong."

"Be extremely careful, and never push yourself too hard."

"I know, I know."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, took his leave, and returned to the villa, where Huang Zhengyang's men were already waiting.

He speculated that it was another statue of the Undying Evil Lord that had appeared.

According to ancient records, the statues of the Immortal Evil Lord came from outer space and would descend continuously, not just two or three at a time.
