Chapter 3672 Memory Loss

“Sect Master, do you know the origin of that Nine Tribulation Half-Saint?”

The one who asked was Chu Junhe.

The other cultivators also looked serious, wanting to find out the origin of that Half-Saint.

A Nine Tribulation Half-Saint lurking within the sect—even if they eliminated him, it would still be troublesome if they didn’t know his origin.

Shen Changqing said, “That one is the leader of the Huangliang Divine Sect.”

“The leader of the Huangliang Divine Sect!?”

This sentence stunned all the cultivators on the spot.

Mingxi’s face was shocked: “Impossible! It is said that in the battle of Tongyuan Domain, the Huangliang Divine Sect was almost wiped out, and the sect leader was besieged and died.

This news has already spread far and wide. How could he still be alive?”

Mingxi couldn’t help but be shocked.

After all, the news that the Huangliang Divine Sect was torn apart in the battle of Tianyou Holy Land, and that almost all of its top experts had perished, had already spread.

The first to be affected

was the leader of the Huangliang Sect.

Now that someone said that he had not truly perished, it was naturally unbelievable.

Shen Changqing shook his head: “It’s normal for such beings to have some means of self-preservation; their identities shouldn’t be faked.

However, although that person is alive, their strength has been greatly diminished; otherwise, they wouldn’t have fallen to the Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint realm!”

“I see—”

The Nine Peak Masters all understood.

However,

some cultivators still looked worried: “According to the Sect Master, this person’s methods are strange. Under these circumstances, is it still possible for that person to be alive?”

This question caused the other cultivators’ expressions to change slightly.

Indeed!

Since that person was able to escape the siege of so many powerful figures, it’s clear how difficult it is to truly eliminate them.

Under these circumstances, it’s not impossible for them to still be alive.

Regarding this…

Shen Changqing remained calm throughout: “This time, he probably won’t have a chance to live again.

Besides, such a resurrection method comes at a huge price.

The opponent was resurrected once and fell to the level of a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint. If he is resurrected again, whether he can retain his Half-Saint cultivation is a question. What is there to fear then?”

“Furthermore—”

“If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time. However, the sect needs to conduct a thorough investigation. Any problems must be reported immediately.”

Shen Changqing added at the end.

Hearing this ,

the Nine Peak Masters all accepted the order.

—In

a strange world, within a hidden immortal abode, a strange blood cocoon appeared.

After an unknown amount of time, the blood cocoon slightly twitched, and then cracks appeared on its intact surface.

Until a certain moment,

the cracks shattered.

A figure emerged from it.

This person

was none other than the Yellow Millet Sect Master.

Now, the Yellow Millet Sect Master’s face was ashen, completely lacking his usual confident self-assurance.

A scene from the Immortal Cliff Domain flashed through his mind.

The power of that sword strike sent chills down his spine.

“What is this person’s background? How can he wield such a supreme treasure, and with only the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, he can unleash a strike comparable to a Saint!”

The Yellow Liang Sect Leader took a deep breath, his heart filled with shock, and a greedy thought involuntarily surfaced within him.

With his discerning eye, he could naturally see the terrifying power of the Soul-Destroying Sword.

Such a supreme treasure.

Even a mere Immortal Emperor could unleash a strike comparable to a Saint.

If it were in his own hands, the power he could unleash would be earth-shattering.

In fact—

back in the battle of the Tongyuan Domain,

if he had possessed such a treasure, the Yellow Liang Sect Leader had some doubts about whether he could have swept through the five Supreme Beings and made the Yellow Liang Divine Sect the number one sect among the Dark Sects.

After all,

the Soul-Destroying Sword was of extremely high grade.

Even with the Yellow Liang Sect Leader’s discerning eye, he had not seen a treasure comparable to it.

Who could have imagined…

Such supreme treasures would ultimately end up in the hands of a Celestial Emperor.

To be honest,

the Yellow Liang Sect Leader had considered many possibilities, but he never expected to be directly defeated by Shen Changqing in a direct confrontation.

If he had known this would happen, he would have been extremely cautious and would never have easily exposed himself.

Fortunately,

to be on the safe side, he had used the Golden Cicada Transformation Secret Technique to leave a sliver of hope.

Otherwise,

he would have perished completely in the battle of the Immortal Cliff Domain.

“I can no longer underestimate the people of this world. I never imagined that one day I would fall into the hands of a Celestial Emperor!”

The Yellow Liang Sect Leader’s expression was icy. This grudge was now firmly established, and he absolutely could not let it go.

However,

when the Yellow Liang Sect Leader realized his current cultivation level, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Last time he was resurrected, he could still retain the cultivation of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

But this time,

his cultivation had fallen to the Half-Saint level, and he could only maintain the level of a Celestial Emperor.

“I can’t continue to revive, otherwise, even with the Golden Cicada Transformation Technique, I’ll never be able to turn things around!”

The Yellow Liang Sect Leader took a deep breath, suppressing his initial desire for revenge against Shen Changqing.

Even a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint was no match for him, let alone someone at the current Immortal Emperor realm.

The only saving grace was that

, as a powerhouse already striving for immortality, his current decline in cultivation was only temporary.

Given enough time, he could still cultivate back to his former strength.

More importantly,

ordinary Immortal Emperors needed to wait for the Great Tribulation to arrive and the Great Dao of Immortality to manifest before they could attain enlightenment.

But the Yellow Liang Sect Leader didn’t have this problem.

After all, strictly speaking, he is still a half-step Dao Venerable.

It’s just that

his strength has been severely damaged, causing him to fall to the Immortal Emperor level.

If he were to rebuild his strength, the difficulty wouldn’t be much easier than an ordinary cultivator reaching the Dao Venerable realm.

Otherwise,

the Yellow Liang Sect Leader wouldn’t have considered possessing Shen Changqing’s body.

He knew very well that his physical body, formed from a single essence of blood, was ultimately inferior to his prime.

Therefore,

the Yellow Liang Sect Leader wanted to possess a body with sufficient aptitude, making it much easier to recover his cultivation later.

But unfortunately,

he’s now backfired.

Not only did he fail to possess the body, but he also wasted another chance to resurrect.

“If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have targeted Shen Changqing. Finding a Primordial Immortal Body from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect would have been better.

Unfortunately, it’s too late now.”

The Yellow Liang Sect Leader shook his head again.

He had no intention of infiltrating the Xuan Tian Dao Sect again.

He was joking.

Last time, despite possessing the cultivation of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint, he ultimately failed.

Now, his cultivation is only at the Immortal Emperor level. If he were to go to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, it would be like walking into a trap.

If this body were to perish again, it would be questionable whether he could even retain his Immortal Emperor cultivation level upon resurrection.

Taking a deep breath,

the Yellow Liang Sect Master suppressed the many chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Since the plan had gone wrong, there was no use in regretting it now.

He couldn’t go to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect for the time being.

For him, the most important thing right now was to recover his cultivation.

Without saying much,

he needed to break through to the Half-Saint level before he could make any further plans.

The mere Immortal Emperor cultivation level didn’t give the Yellow Liang Sect Master much of a sense of security.

Afterward,

the Yellow Liang Sect Master stepped out of his Immortal Mansion, his divine sense spreading out, quickly taking in everything in this world.

This was a small world existing in the chaotic void, with no other living beings besides himself.

Looking at the world before him, the Yellow Millet Cult Leader felt a sense of both strangeness and familiarity.

This feeling

stemmed primarily from the loss of memories.

A single essence of blood and soul could only hold a limited amount of memories.

Each resurrection

caused the Yellow Millet Cult Leader to lose a portion of his memories.

To minimize this, he retained the most important memories and actively discarded the less important ones.

However, this approach was ultimately a short-sighted solution.

Too many deaths and resurrections would inevitably diminish his memories,

until one day,

all his past memories were completely erased.

At that point,

he, the Yellow Millet Cult Leader, would no longer be the Yellow Millet Cult Leader.

This was the hidden danger of the Golden Cicada Transformation Technique.

During his last resurrection, the loss of memories wasn’t too great, so the Yellow Millet Cult Leader hadn’t noticed much.

But this resurrection was different.

The obvious sense of memory fragmentation made him deeply aware of the hidden dangers of this technique.

A moment later…

The Yellow Millet Cult Leader took a deep breath: “I really can’t continue resurrecting. Otherwise, with my fragmented memories, even if I could resurrect a thousand times, I wouldn’t be myself anymore.”

With this thought,

he searched his memories, looking for the many secret realms and treasure troves he had left behind.

He had left behind many secret realms; some contained cultivation resources for the Yellow Millet Cult, while others were simply pitfalls.

The latter were naturally not his target. As for

the former,

while some did contain cultivation resources, the threshold for opening them was extremely high. With his current cultivation level, he could only truly open a limited number.

The most important point—

and the most awkward one—

was that the two resurrections had resulted in significant memory loss. Combined with the fact that he hadn’t paid much attention to these secret realms before, he was now somewhat unable to distinguish them.

“If only I had found all those secret realm resources before the last resurrection…”

However, this thought was quickly dismissed by the Yellow Millet Cult Leader.

Finding them would be useless.

His previous demise…

Having resources at his disposal would only benefit the Xuan Tian Sword Master.

Given the current situation, the Yellow Liang Cult Leader could only first search for secret realms he was certain wouldn’t have any traps, based on his memory, before making any further plans.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind, but the Yellow Liang Cult Leader didn’t leave immediately.

Before leaving, he had another matter to attend to: leaving behind another essence of blood and soul to ensure a chance of resurrection should he perish again in the event of another accident.
