Chapter 175: The Divine Art of Two Forces
Qin Sang summoned water-based spiritual power, condensing it into an ice coffin to seal the two bodies locked in each other’s embrace, intending to find a suitable burial site after they left. He also gathered up Liu Shan's body.
Out of their group of eight, five were already dead. He had no idea what had become of Yu Dayue and Li Zai. According to Qingting, the forbidden ground of the Heavenly Corpse Sect's branch lay behind this hall. Regardless of which cave tunnel one entered from, they would ultimately converge here, but neither Yu Dayue nor Li Zai had shown up.
The Liu Brothers hadn’t told the full truth. The two had not cultivated the same art but were able to perform a combined attack, unleashing power comparable to that of a Foundation Building cultivator. They accomplished this through a secret art called the Divine Art of Two Forces.
This secret art was incredibly unique, and its origin seemed anything but simple.
However, there was one thing they hadn’t lied about—the Divine Art of Two Forces indeed required two people with aligned hearts and minds to practice together, making it useless to Qin Sang, so he simply put it away.
What intrigued Qin Sang the most, though, was the talisman astra. Printed on the durable, snow-white talisman paper was a delicate jade ruyi radiating a faint, pure light, almost as though it would break free from the paper, exuding a strong spiritual essence.
Although he’d encountered talisman astras before, this was the first time Qin Sang actually owned one. Such a thin sheet of talisman paper could retain a tenth of an astra’s power—a marvel in itself.
The youth in combat attire he met in the Eight Trigrams Forbidden Ground had also possessed a talisman astra in the shape of a crescent blade. However, that youth, being only at the Qi Refining Realm, lacked the method for fully activating its power and could only tap into a portion of it.
Senior Sister Qingting, however, was a Foundation Building cultivator and could wield the full power of a talisman astra. When she activated the talisman astra to attack the malevolent corpse, Qin Sang was astounded by the display.
