Chapter 654: Chapter 325: The Achilles Heel of the Asura Queen?

The journey was not too bumpy, and the two women were still asleep.

Jiang Shouzhong yawned, feeling bored, when he suddenly recalled that after Wang Luoyan’s death, Dugu Luoxue had taken two items from him and given them to him.

So he took out the book "Wanxiang Senluo Great Skill" and began flipping through it with curiosity.

This cultivation technique was created by the Asura Queen based on the "Heavenly Demon Technique," and had been carefully annotated by Wang Luoyan, making many of the obscure parts easier to understand.

The flow of meridians, circulation of blood and Qi, shifting of acupuncture points—all were clearly marked, showing Wang Luoyan’s meticulous effort.

Of course, there were still some sections where Wang Luoyan seemed unable to comprehend fully, with very few side notes.

Jiang Shouzhong patiently browsed through the book, contemplating whether he could attempt to practice this heavily malevolent cultivation technique. After all, too many skills never weigh one down.

What, after all, is Wanxiang Senluo?

The opening Chapter states:

Evil invokes the depths, using one’s own body as the furnace.

It draws in the energy of the five elements, converging it into a single thought, then breaks through heaven to establish a path, reversing one’s fate.

All phenomena under heaven are mine to command...

Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but click his tongue, muttering to himself:

"Every word and sentence reeks of slaughter and resentment. Without immense self-control, recklessly practicing this technique would undoubtedly lead to madness. That Asura Queen is truly insane."

When he reached the final page, he involuntarily uttered a "Hmm?"

"What is it?"

Dugu Luoxue looked at him quizzically.

Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his chin and frowned, saying, "Wang Luoyan mentioned that he discovered a significant weakness in this cultivation technique—a deadly flaw, to be precise."

"A flaw?"

Dugu Luoxue was slightly taken aback and asked, "What kind of flaw?"

Compared to the Heavenly Demon Technique, the Asura Queen created this demonic cultivation method using an even more extreme approach. Such a malevolent and bloodthirsty technique would unlikely have any weak points.

Yet Wang Luoyan identified a flaw, which naturally piqued Dugu Luoxue’s curiosity.

Jiang Shouzhong opened the secret manual to the last page and handed it to her:

"It doesn’t explicitly state, but according to Wang Luoyan, this weakness could counteract the strongest technique hidden within Wanxiang Senluo. He had already reached some understanding and planned to repair it."

Counteract the strongest technique in Wanxiang Senluo?

Dugu Luoxue’s heart suddenly tightened.

According to rumors, the Asura Queen once retained a secret technique known as "Infinite Blood Arrow," which required her to completely sacrifice herself to unleash its greatest power.

This secret technique necessitated burying one’s body, heart, and soul.

After which, the heavens became the bow, the earth the arrow, the sun its string, and the moon its tip—to draw and fire a perfect arrow.

No one could stop it.

If not for the Asura Queen clinging to lingering thoughts and refraining from fully sacrificing herself, catching her back then would have been uncertain.

Even Zhao Wuxiu had once said that in this world, only two things could kill him: One was Jiang Wan’s "Sword of the Masses," and the other was the Asura Queen’s "Infinite Blood Arrow."

If they truly could identify the flaw in the Asura Queen’s almost invincible secret technique, it would amount to discovering her fatal weakness—a life-saving ace.

Dugu Luoxue had a foreboding that the Asura Queen would undoubtedly cause chaos once again.

Thinking of this, the woman said, "Perhaps Wang Luoyan left the method to counteract it at his residence. After we finish the matter at Zhenxuan Mountain, let’s visit the Myriad Phenomena God Sect."

"Alright."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded.

Now that Sect Leader Wang Luoyan had fallen, combined with Shi Luoxia’s earlier destruction of the sect by moving mountains and the deaths of several Peak Masters, the Myriad Phenomena God Sect was bound to descend into chaos.

By then, even if they couldn’t sneak in, barging in directly would not meet any resistance.

After storing away the cultivation technique book, Jiang Shouzhong took out the Demon Core to examine it.

The pitch-dark red Demon Core emitted an eerie aura.

Based on the detailed accounts from Qu Hongling and Yelü Miaomiao, Jiang Shouzhong learned that this Demon Core had been extracted from Ran Qingchen’s master’s body.

According to Wang Luoyan, this Demon Core was called the Netherworld Demon Pill.

And Shang Zhiyu had transformed into a Netherworld Demon.

Truthfully, during his investigation of the Netherworld Demon Qi case, Jiang Shouzhong had never anticipated the existence of Netherworld Demons.

This reminded him of the demon qi experimentation incident at Xichu Pavilion.

Behind Xichu Pavilion was the Luo Family, and the Luo Family Head Luo Mingtang was also the emperor’s father-in-law. Jiang Shouzhong had always suspected that those demon qi experiments were heavily tied to the court.

Now, with the Myriad Phenomena God Sect acting as the court’s henchmen, secretly breeding Netherworld Demons in forbidden areas,

this clearly indicated they were acting on the emperor’s orders.

Additionally, another matter surfaced in Jiang Shouzhong’s mind.

After failing to kill Qu Hongling, Su Family Head Su Shanke lost his memory and became insane. During this time, the court also secretly sent people over.

Later in the Underground Palace, Su Family Head had turned into an extremely bizarre monster. Upon further reflection, Su Shanke had already transformed into a Netherworld Demon by then.

"How exactly do these Netherworld Demons come about?"

Jiang Shouzhong pondered, muttering to himself, "Do they transform after consuming Netherworld Demon Qi? But where does this Demon Qi originate from?"

The man lowered his gaze to look at Qu Hongling, who was sleeping in his arms.

In the Liushan Division’s Archive Hall records, the currently known sources of Netherworld Demon Qi all came from when Qu Hongling ventured to the Nether Spring, initially stored by the Sky Demon Sect, but much of it was stolen.

In other words, only Hong’er could reach the Nether Spring; no one else was capable.

But according to Hong’er, her ability to extract Netherworld Demon Qi back then was purely by chance. Coupled with her memory loss, she had no idea how she had obtained it.

Later, she attempted to locate the Spring but could never find it again.

Jiang Shouzhong pondered for a long time, then turned to the woman sewing clothes and asked, "Master, why do you think demon qi is reawakening?"
