Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Spirit Manipulation Technique Divine Separation, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong’s Contradictions Begin to Surface

Just then, a figure ran over from afar.

He was covered in blood, holding a Guan Sword in his hand.

It was Liu Yuan.

Seeing Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong safe and sound, along with the bloody and tragic scene around them, Liu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

"You guys are alright, it seems I’ve arrived late."

"How about you?"

Although Liu Yuan arrived late, the blood all over him showed that he had clearly gone through a tough battle.

Liu Yuan glanced at himself and chuckled, "I’m fine, it’s all the blood of those bastards from the Special Service Bureau, damn it, the Special Service Bureau is nearly done for."

"As soon as Long Jiang left, I immediately followed, but those bastards still held me up. Thankfully, you’re okay."

"Wait... you’re actually unharmed!"

Xiao Zhan frowned, "What, you hoped something would happen to me?"

"No no no, that’s not what I mean," Liu Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, but couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes.

"What I mean is that Long Jiang is a Third Grade Spirit Master, and you fought against him. You’re actually unharmed? What about Long Jiang then? Did you chase him off?"

"He didn’t run, he’s lying down and taking a long sleep."

On the ground?

Liu Yuan turned and looked around, and sure enough, he found the corpse that needed to be moved.

He exclaimed with his mouth agape, in disbelief.

"This... this, you actually killed him?" filled with shock.

"Uh-huh."

"He was a Third Grade Spirit Master!"

"Yes, he was."

"You actually killed a Third Grade Spirit Master! And you’re perfectly fine?"

"Can’t say I’m perfectly fine."

"Where are you injured?"

"My clothes are torn."

Liu Yuan: ...

Why don’t you go die!

After a while, Liu Yuan recovered from his astonishment. He approached Xiao Zhan, "Brother, tell me the truth, if I fought you, what would be the outcome?"

"You would be lying on the ground just like him."

Xiao Zhan pointed at Long Jiang.

"Can’t be, right?"

Liu Yuan was a bit incredulous. Judging from the current battlefield, Xiao Zhan’s strength indeed was incredibly impressive, not just ordinary impressive.

But Liu Yuan didn’t think he was weaker than Long Jiang. Long Jiang might have been killed, but that didn’t necessarily mean the same for him.

To this, Xiao Zhan didn’t argue, just smiled.

Indeed, Liu Yuan was stronger than Long Jiang, his talent was there for all to see. However, that didn’t mean Liu Yuan could defeat Xiao Zhan.

Without burning his origin core, Xiao Zhan swept away all Third Grades.

Of course, even with both burning their origin cores, Xiao Zhan could still sweep away all Third Grades.

"Enough talk, have you notified anyone to come clean up the battlefield?"

"I’ve notified them, they should arrive soon."

Liu Yuan released his Artifact Spirit, as he had also consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, and took the time to recover.

Xiao Zhan nodded, then entered the lair. While waiting for others to arrive, he checked to see if there was anything valuable.

His Perception scanned around, leaving no place for items to hide, and soon Xiao Zhan found some things.

However, these items were of little use to him, except for one that caught his interest.

It seemed to be a cultivation method for a Spirit Manipulation Technique.

He picked it up and took a look, immediately surprised. It turned out to be a rare spiritual power Spirit Manipulation Technique.

However, upon seeing the detailed description of this Spirit Manipulation Technique, Xiao Zhan’s face suddenly turned somewhat unsightly.

The name of this Spirit Manipulation Technique was ’Divine Separation’.

It wasn’t an offensive Spirit Manipulation Technique, but a controlling one.

Its effect was to make people obediently listen to orders, whether the target was a Spirit Master or an Artifact Spirit. After use, it would cause the target to develop a dependency.

This was like the ’Obedience Water’ from his previous life.

Only that the ’Obedience Water’ worked quickly and fiercely.

This Spirit Manipulation Technique, on the other hand, was about a slow, cumulative influence, ineffective with just one use, requiring multiple prolonged applications.

The purpose and benefit of such use were to cause a subconscious shift in the target, making them believe they have truly become dependent, thus creating a faux intimacy.

This relationship, once established over time, would imprint deep within the soul, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood.

Even if someone later removed this control, they might still believe they had genuinely developed feelings.

Thus achieving a true inseparability.

This was the kind of Spirit Manipulation Technique that evil cultivators like Long Jiang specialized in to control Artifact Spirits.

After reading the description, Xiao Zhan immediately understood why Long Jiang’s Artifact Spirit was so obedient.

Although the signing of a master-servant contract could allow a Spirit Master to control an Artifact Spirit, or vice versa,

the master-servant contract wasn’t omnipotent. The actual difference from other contracts was simply the inequality reflected in the contractual status.

Specific manifestations included being unable to undo the contract, incapable of transferring bodily control, unequal cultivation nourishment, forced burning of one’s origin... and so on.

However, it couldn’t make the ’servant’ be controlled like a puppet.

The ’servant’s’ willpower could still resist.

This resistance, seemingly harmless, apparently inconsequential to the ’master’, was in fact deadly.

The most evident fatal point was the transformation between Third Grade and Fourth Grade — the Battle Spirit Form.

Because if a Spirit Master and an Artifact Spirit couldn’t achieve harmony and cooperation, they would not be able to fuse into the Battle Spirit Form.

The coerciveness of the master-servant contract virtually guaranteed an irremovable barrier between the Spirit Master and Artifact Spirit.

With such a barrier in place, the fusion into the Battle Spirit Form is impossible, and one could never break through from Third Grade to Fourth Grade!

With this Spirit Manipulation Technique, the barrier issue could be resolved.

No wonder this Spirit Manipulation Technique was named ’Divine Separation’.

Outwardly close, yet inwardly distant, the relationship seems tight on the surface but is actually divergent at heart.

Understanding this principle, Xiao Zhan immediately wanted to destroy this disgusting Spirit Manipulation Technique.

But at that moment, Ye Youlong stopped him.

"Although this Spirit Manipulation Technique is evil, if used correctly, it can also be a good skill."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Youlong explained, "For two people whose hearts are not aligned, this technique is indeed an oppressive shackle. However, if it is for two people whose hearts are in unison, it becomes a catalyst for fusion."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan understood Ye Youlong’s point.

She wanted to keep it for their own use.

"But in that case, would we still be ourselves then?" Xiao Zhan was somewhat concerned.

"Everything in moderation. This is a Spirit Manipulation Technique that requires long-term use, and as long as we control the frequency well, it’s not a bad thing for us."

Yet Xiao Zhan furrowed his brows, not quite accepting her idea, "Rather than using such things to enhance our feelings, I would prefer to overcome all difficulties and reach the end by our own hard work."

"How are we going to leave later?" Ye Youlong suddenly asked such an irrelevant question.

"We’ll walk out." Xiao Zhan didn’t know why she asked, but he replied anyway.

"If there’s a car, would you take it?"

"Of course, I would take the car."

"That’s the principle."

Xiao Zhan was startled for a moment, then understood her implication, immediately retorting, "It’s not the same, feelings and travel methods are not the same thing."

"In essence, they are the same. We both reach our desired destination. If the goals are the same, why not use a faster method?"

Xiao Zhan was rendered silent by her words. He looked into Ye Youlong’s eyes, and the steadfastness he saw suddenly made her seem strange to him.

After a long silence, he looked into Ye Youlong’s eyes and asked seriously, "So, what do you see our feelings as?"
