Since becoming an Evil God disciple, Song Xu had begun learning a technique called rituals.
In Song Xu's view, rituals had many similarities to talismans.
"Talismans can be smoothly deployed in various places and marshal the power of the Eight Divine Departments because they rely on Kunxu's advanced infrastructure, especially the networks spread throughout various places."
"What rituals share with talismans is that they can likewise be carried out through the network."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were following Yu Xinghan out together.

It felt like I'd lived through another life.
*No wonder they all say the Spirit Realm is the best place to temper one's
