Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 395 As if in a dream
Inside the cave, after listening to Wu Jun'an's story, Xuan Jiaozi looked at Wu Jun'an again and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

He had heard of the innate talent of a different soul. Some people are born with powerful souls that are different from ordinary people. However, most souls are not actually that strong and the supernatural abilities they can exert are quite limited. This time, Wu Jun'an had undoubtedly encountered an anomaly among anomalies. The most important thing was that he deliberately ran into it. No wonder he was covered in blood.

Sensing the change in Xuan Jiaozi, Wu Jun'an's face instantly turned red. He wanted to explain, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

"Senior Brother Xuan Jiaozi, I was careless this time. Please give me another chance. I will definitely defeat Jiang Chen. Don't worry, I will make him wish he were dead..."

With a ferocious expression, Wu Jun'an reiterated his stance, but his swaying figure made his words utterly unconvincing.

Upon hearing this and looking at Wu Jun'an, Xuan Jiaozi pondered for a moment.

"This is a Heart-Nourishing Pill, which will be good for your injuries. You should focus on healing your injuries first. I have other things for you to do afterward."

After leaving behind a pill, Xuan Jiaozi offered a comforting remark.

Regardless, Wu Jun'an possesses a precious body and is a valuable asset; it would be a real shame to give him up like this.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Upon receiving the pill, Wu Junan immediately expressed his gratitude.

Seeing this, Xuan Jiaozi said nothing more and turned to leave.

After Xuan Jiaozi left, all the emotions on Wu Jun'an's face immediately vanished, replaced by coldness.

"This time we really suffered a great loss, but it wasn't without its gains. A naturally born extraordinary soul, comparable to the Purple Mansion, such a being is even rarer than a Treasure Body."

With a thought in mind, Wu Jun'an took the Heart-Nourishing Pill and immediately began to regulate his breathing.

From that day on, Wu Junan began to live a secluded life, no longer displaying his martial prowess as before.

Diancui Mountain, with its intangible prestige, gathers in, adding to the majesty of this sacred mountain.

Inside the cave, a mirror of the mind hangs high, and Jiang Chen introspects on himself.

At this moment, in his mental mirror, besides the restless mind, there was also a waning moon hanging high, faintly revealing a trace of Wu Jun'an's aura, but it was sealed by the mental mirror and could not be outwardly displayed.

"Using the soul as a seed to leave a mark on the mind of others, at best it can disturb their minds, at worst it can directly enslave them. What a bizarre method."

As he played with the waning moon, Jiang Chen continuously analyzed its essence.

In the previous battle, although he forcibly broke through Wu Jun'an's secret technique, he did not completely annihilate the soul seed, but left it temporarily. This soul seed is closely related to Wu Jun'an. If used well, it will be invincible, but once it is countered, it will immediately become Wu Jun'an's fatal weakness.

"Wu Jun'an must have other secrets. Everyone thinks he is greedy for fame and bravery and challenged me to a duel to suppress my limelight, but I sensed a familiar aura about him."

Thoughts collided, and Jiang Chen pondered many things at that moment.

"Whether it's true or false is obvious at a glance. With my current spiritual cultivation, suppressing Wu Jun'an is not a problem."

With a single thought, Jiang Chen's Yin spirit left his body.

"Mirror of Heaven Captures Souls!"

With a suspended blue lotus, streams of malevolent energy descended to protect him. Jiang Chen's Yin Spirit Hand held the Heart Mirror and activated the secret technique.

The Mirror of Heaven Soul Capture is an extremely important secret technique in the Demonic Ape's Shadow Reflection Technique. Once activated, it can forcibly capture the soul or consciousness of others. Of course, there are conditions for activating the Mirror of Heaven Soul Capture: either the two parties are extremely close and can detect each other's soul aura, or there is an important support.

Jiang Chen perfectly fulfilled this requirement; the incomplete soul seed was the perfect medium. In that instant, the mirror of his heart, like the moon, reflected spiritual light, illuminating the vast void.

Meanwhile, in his own cave, Wu Jun'an, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly lost his composure and fell into a dream. In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his childhood and saw all his past experiences.

On Diancui Mountain, bathed in moonlight, Jiang Chen frowned slightly as he watched the scenes unfolding in the Heart Mirror. These scenes were fragmented, mostly superficial and distorted, with little actually useful information.

"The combination of Mirror Sky Soul Capture and Bewitching can work. Those who are affected will feel as if they are in a dream. However, the information they receive is not accurate. To find what they want, they will need some guidance."

With a thought in mind, Jiang Chen once again activated the power of the Crescent Moon Soul Seed.

At this moment, lured by the aura of the Soul Seed, Wu Jun'an's dormant memories were awakened, and he began to recall various things related to the Soul Seed.

"The Chaos of the Spirits technique uses the soul as its seed, enslaving the minds and spirits of others..."

Through the secret technique demonstration, Jiang Chen finally saw what he wanted to see.

However, just as Jiang Chen was trying to find out more, Wu Jun'an's mental state showed signs of awakening.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve, reversed the Mirror Heaven, and released Wu Jun'an's consciousness. Although he had only glimpsed a small part of it, he became more certain of his guess that Wu Jun'an had other secrets. He was not in a hurry, as it would be bad if he alerted the enemy.

"Am I dreaming?"

Inside the cave, Wu Jun'an opened his eyes, assessed his condition, and frowned.

"The destruction of my soul seed and the loss of my mind have ultimately had a significant impact on me."

"I must repair my mental state as soon as possible."

A thought arose, and suppressing the slight discomfort in his heart, Wu Jun'an returned to meditation. During this period, he had indeed lost his composure more than once, which was why he had hardly gone out during this time.

Meanwhile, after confirming that Wu Jun'an had not noticed anything amiss, Jiang Chen's Yin spirit quietly returned.

"If I'm not mistaken, Wu Jun'an should have some connection with the divine path. His Chaotic God Technique seems to be a secret technique of the immortal path, but its essence is more similar to the divine path. This can also explain why he is so flamboyant and why he is willing to be the blade to force me to fight him."

“The method he cultivated should be similar to the Golden and Silver Qi-Inducing Technique that I once obtained. They share the same name. However, I, who am of the same generation as him and have built a flawless foundation, have undoubtedly overshadowed him, blocked his path, and are detrimental to his cultivation.”

With a clash of ideas and by organizing what he had learned, Jiang Chen saw part of the truth.

"Wu Jun'an wants to deal with me because of fame, but what is Xuan Jiaozi's motive?"

"Judging from Wu Jun'an's memories, Xuan Jiaozi provided a lot of help when he was able to break through to the Dao Foundation stage."

Casting his gaze into the vast darkness of the night, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

He was no stranger to the name Xuan Jiaozi, after all, the other party was not an unknown figure in the Wuchang Sect. Among the inner disciples of the Wuchang Sect, Xuan Jiaozi could be said to be the number one.

"Is it a true teaching or something else? It seems I've also blocked this Xuanjiaozi's path."

"Fine, we should fight for it anyway."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it. He had obtained the cultivation method of the Chaotic God Technique from Wu Jun'an's memories, and now he was going to study it carefully.
