Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 357: Nightmare Suppression Technique

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Nightmare Suppression Technique

Shen Siyuan moved forward, pondering how to bestow upon Xu Shilong’s parents the retribution they deserved.

The simplest method would be to seek assistance from the Special Affairs Bureau and ensure they suffered legal consequences.

However, even so, aside from the chief perpetrator Xu Jiawei, the assailant Xu Xiaorui would likely receive a severe sentence, whereas Xu Shilong’s mother probably would not be greatly affected since she was not involved.

Moreover, Shen Siyuan did not wish to constantly trouble the Special Affairs Bureau. Although the more he required their aid, the more stable their relationship might become, favors were debts that had to be repaid eventually.

Therefore, Shen Siyuan wanted to use his own means to punish the offenders.

As a demonic cultivator, aside from directly capturing their souls into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to endure the torment of the Netherworld Fire daily, there were plenty of other techniques such as Soul Capturing, Nightmare Demon Creation, and Corpse Refining Soul Locking.

However, Shen Siyuan was basically unable to use any of those since they all required mana to perform, and he did not possess mana within his body. His path was that of body refinement. Even the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword in his body initially needed spiritual energy to connect with the Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism, and he had utilized merit as a means of bending the rules.

Nevertheless, this did not mean Shen Siyuan was without options. The Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword, although a fierce and violent technique for slaughter, was not solely for killing. The Five Elements and Primordial Magnetism inherently had widespread applications in cultivation. Over the millennia in the Great Wilderness, various techniques were fundamentally rooted in the framework of the Five Elements.

Primordial Magnetism applications might be fewer, but that did not mean they didn’t exist, and the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword was the epitome of the Five Elements and Primordial Magnetism application.

Searching through the memories of the Jiuyou Demon Lord revealed that a person’s fortune was related to their own magnetic field. Those with more vibrant magnetic fields tended to have stronger luck and be healthier and more charismatic.

Take Ruan Hongzhuang, for instance. She was naturally fortunate with a powerful magnetic field, which is why she was drawn to someone like Shen Siyuan, whose magnetic field was even stronger.

The so-called love between men and women was nothing more than the attraction of magnetic fields, resulting in a mutual fit and pull, both physically and mentally.

If a person’s magnetic field weakened, they would be plagued by bad luck and could even potentially lose their life.

The concept of ghosts clinging to humans follows this principle; ghosts themselves are conscious magnetic fields. Unless they are relatives such as parents or children who follow the individual, they can cause the person’s magnetic field to decay and bring misfortune.

Of course, this only further exacerbates the situation when a person’s three fires are not burning brightly; it cannot create waves out of nothing.

Additionally, there is another situation involving damaged magnetic fields. A person’s magnetic field is a perfect ellipse surrounding them like a microcosm, but if gaps or breaches appear in the magnetic field, it usually signifies that there is a problem with a certain part of the body.

Based on this characteristic, there is the Luck Breaking Technique—a formidable art capable of reducing emperors to beggars, essentially a branch of the Nightmare Suppression Technique.

This application of Primordial Magnetism doesn’t require special cultivation, but still needs to be familiarized with.

However, there is no rush for this. Since Xu Shilong’s parents moved to Coconut City after accumulating wealth, departing from En Gan City, there is still some distance, so Shen Siyuan has plenty of time to familiarize himself with this.

"Brother, when will Sister Xiao Yue return?"

As Shen Siyuan walked, Duoduo suddenly ran up and asked.

"Do you miss her?"

Shen Siyuan reached out and gently stroked her small head.

"Mhm."

Duoduo nodded.

"She should be back soon," said Shen Siyuan.

Time in a dream differs from reality. Although only a few days have passed, quite a long time should have elapsed within Tang Tang’s dream.

Moreover, in the realm of dreams, thoughts are transmitted more conveniently, and Tang Tang should have made rapid progress.

With this thought, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

The wind brought news from Tang Tang daily, and today, not having received anything yet, he felt somewhat unaccustomed.

Shen Siyuan had just removed his hand from Duoduo’s head when a small head rubbed against him.

"What are you doing?"

"I want a pat too," said Dou Dou.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Mommy, the ice pop is yummy..."

Tang Tang sat in the living room, sucking on her ice pop while shaking her head from side to side.

"Tang Tang, you’ve become much more articulate."

Jiang Yingxue was sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine and looked over at the little tyke with her legs crossed, sitting in the center of the living room.

"Han~"

Although she didn’t understand what Grandma was saying, smiling was the right response.

Mao Sanmei handed her a drool bib to put on, as the little one’s chin was getting all sticky from the ice pop.

Tang Tang held up the ice pop in her hand, offering Mao Sanmei a bite.

Mao Sanmei smiled and shook her head, indicating for her to eat it herself.

She then turned her gaze towards Jiang Yingxue, extending the ice pop towards her.

"Oh~"

"Good girl, eat it yourself."

Jiang Yingxue stood up, patted her little head, and walked to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water on the countertop, then got up to fetch a yoga mat from the room. She spread it in a shady spot on the balcony, and with the breeze, began her yoga practice, with Tang Tang curiously watching her.

She hadn’t learned such a thing when she was younger; it was all learned later. However, as she got older, her body became less flexible, especially in the last few years when she had completely let go, afraid she would break a bone.

However, ever since she took the Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill, she had picked it back up again.

Shen Siyuan had told her that appropriate exercise would promote the absorption of the Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill and also strengthen her foundation.

Tang Tang finished off the last of her ice pop, wiped her mouth a couple times with the bib, and stuck the ice-pop stick horizontally in her mouth. Then, she crawled on all fours towards Jiang Yingxue.

Seeing her appearance, Jiang Yingxue, who was trying to stay calm and composed, almost burst into laughter.

Are you a little dog?

Tang Tang got next to Jiang Yingxue and mimicked her pose, lying on the ground, arching her neck and waist upwards while stretching her leg back forcefully.

Then with a roll, she fell onto the ground, and the ice-pop stick dropped from her mouth.

She wasn’t upset; she just sat up, laughing with a ’hanhan’, scratching her head, somewhat puzzled as to why she fell.

She continued to imitate Jiang Yingxue’s movements, throwing her head back, and then with a "Duang", her head hit the ground. Luckily she was quite short and was sitting on the ground, so the fall wasn’t hard.

Even so, the little one had teary eyes, on the brink of crying.

Jiang Yingxue saw it and felt both exasperated and amused.

However, she didn’t step forward to comfort her, wanting to see how Tang Tang would deal with it herself.

In the end, Tang Tang held back her tears and didn’t cry, instead standing up with a huff and posing in the starting stance of Embrace the Wind and Sleep.

Jiang Yingxue recognized it at a glance because Ruan Hongzhuang had also taught her, but despite practicing for a few days, she didn’t feel anything from it and found the stretching in yoga more satisfying.

Tang Tang looked at Jiang Yingxue proudly, as if to say, "I can do it too."

Then she reached up with her little hand, and with a grasp, the wind rose with her, bringing a light breeze across their faces...

Jiang Yingxue: ...

PS: More to come tonight~
