Qingyun Sect, Xiao Yicai's Surprise, Spirit Lord Water Qilin!

Hiss!

As Su Han looked at the description of the Black Word Trait, Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart.

He instinctively sucked in a cold breath. Fine goosebumps rose all over his body, and even his scalp tingled.

"Worthy of a Black Word Trait second only to a colored mythic trait—it has a full six talent effects..."

"Terrifying indeed!!!"

At that moment, Su Han's heart was filled with indescribable delight.

This Black Word Trait, Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart, was simply heaven-defying.

Su Han carefully savored the effect of every trait, waves stirring in his heart.

Form of No-Self meant that Su Han had a far greater chance of surviving all manner of dangerous negative conditions.

Whether it was bizarre poisonous mist, impossible-to-guard-against curses, or mental control attacks, he could likely easily become immune to them or greatly lessen their effects.

In future battles, this would undoubtedly grant him an enormous advantage. He would no longer need to constantly worry about being ambushed by some petty villain's spells.

Form of No Sentient Beings brought an even more astonishing leap in his perception.

At that moment, Su Han sat within the Spirit Boat piloted by Xiao Yicai.

With only a raised hand, he seemed able to sense every subtle change in the surrounding air.

Enemy ambushes, abnormalities in spiritual energy fluctuations, and even that most elusive sixth sense all became exceptionally clear.

"Observation Haki from One Piece, seeing the future?"

It was somewhat similar, yet completely different.

Su Han felt that his Form of No Sentient Beings should be even stronger.

And the Seven Killings effect of the Demonic Heart allowed his Demonic Energy attacks to ignore an enemy's spiritual energy defenses and inflict damage directly within their body...

What a terrifying ability was that?

In battle, an enemy's spiritual energy defenses were often their greatest reliance. After all, magical artifacts were not something everyone possessed.

Yet now, Su Han's attacks could directly pierce through that layer of defense and deal fatal blows to his enemies.

The effect of Po Jun was even more terrifying.

When Su Han's emotions surged, the Demonic Heart's power would be stimulated, greatly increasing his spiritual energy. This was undoubtedly a powerful trump card.

Especially at a life-or-death moment.

That power might become the key for Su Han to turn the tide.

The effect of Buddha-Demon Unity had nothing to do with combat, but it filled Su Han with anticipation for the future.

There would never be bottlenecks when cultivating techniques of the Buddhist Sect and demonic sects. This meant there would be no obstacles to the growth of his strength. As long as he accumulated enough spiritual energy, he could break through.

He could freely explore these two powerful systems of power and continuously surpass himself.

As for the final Thought of Buddha-Demon, it was comparatively difficult to control.

But since no state of mind could reduce the power of Su Han's moves...

Whatever. Its flaws did not outweigh its virtues!

While Su Han was deep in thought, the Spirit Boat had already arrived deep within the foothills of Qingyun Mountain.

Towering peaks surrounded them, one range rising after another like a natural barrier that shut out the noise and turmoil of the mortal world.

Mists curled around the mountaintops.

At times, they drifted like gauze; at others, they rolled like raging waves.

Ancient buildings were built along the mountainside, grand and imposing.

Blue tiles, white walls, upturned eaves, and ornate brackets formed a magnificent, solemn sight.

Ancient trees towered overhead, lush greenery cast shade, flowers and grasses flourished, and immortal cranes danced gracefully through the air.

White clouds drifted by, seeming close enough to touch.

Very soon.

The Spirit Boat under Xiao Yicai's control slowly came to a stop before an immortal bridge that rose into the air without piers or supports, like a proud dragon leaping toward the heavens.

Su Han looked at the sight before him, quietly amazed.

"Is this the Rainbow Bridge from the original work?"

"It truly is spectacular!"

As sunlight spilled down, the Rainbow Bridge glowed with seven-colored radiance, like a rainbow descending from the heavens into the mortal world—brilliant, dazzling, and dreamlike beyond compare.

If one listened closely, one could seemingly hear the faint sound of flowing water.

"Don't be afraid. This is Qingyun Sect."

As Xiao Yicai spoke, he stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge. "The masters merely have a few questions they wish to ask you in person. Come with me."

The instant Xiao Yicai's voice fell.

An indescribable sense of alertness suddenly welled up within Su Han.

It was as though a voice echoed in his mind, warning him that danger was about to descend.

At the same time.

Su Han keenly noticed that the wind around them seemed to be moving faster, as though driven by some enormous force.

The moisture in the air was also quietly increasing.

Ordinary people would never have noticed such subtle changes, but relying on the Form of No Sentient Beings ability of Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart, Su Han clearly sensed it all.

Almost instinctively.

Su Han's body suddenly leaped to one side.

And just as he left his original position.

A massive vortex abruptly appeared on the water beneath the Rainbow Bridge.

Then came a beastly roar. A colossal creature leaped high out of the water, spewing a huge pillar of water from its mouth toward where Su Han, Zhang Xiaofan, and Lin Jingyu stood.

Seeing this, Xiao Yicai hurriedly prepared to pull Su Han, Zhang Xiaofan, and Lin Jingyu away.

But the moment he grabbed Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu, he discovered in surprise that Su Han had already moved away beforehand.

"This youth?"

"He actually detected Spirit Lord's arrival in advance? Was it a coincidence, or..."

Before Xiao Yicai could think further, Spirit Lord's attack had already arrived.

Xiao Yicai hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu aside, dodging the strike.

In the end, the ferocious water pillar smashed down like a cannonball onto the Rainbow Bridge, right where they had just been standing.

Seeing this.

A powerful sense of amazement rose within Su Han, and excitement gleamed in his eyes.

"Worthy of a Black Word Trait, Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart."

"Even the talent of Form of No Sentient Beings alone is this powerful!"

"Without it, there was no way I could have known about the Water Qilin's attack in advance or predicted its exact point of impact."

Standing in a safe spot, Su Han looked at the enormous Water Qilin before him and gained an even deeper understanding of his talent.

Just as Su Han was marveling at the power of Form of No Sentient Beings.

The next moment.

The Water Qilin lowered its massive head and let out a roar at the four of them, including Xiao Yicai. The tremendous shockwave sent ripples through the air itself.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu collapsed onto the ground nearby, their eyes filled with terror.

Yet Su Han, the one targeted by Spirit Lord Water Qilin, showed not the slightest concern as he stared at the enormous Water Qilin before him.

Looking closely, one could even see excitement and wonder in his eyes.

"So this is the divine beast Water Qilin that has lived for over a thousand years?"

"This Zhu Xian World truly is interesting!"

Xiao Yicai finally came to his senses and hurriedly stepped in front of Su Han and the other two. He cupped his hands in a respectful salute.

"Spirit Lord, please calm your anger."

"They were specifically summoned by the masters."

The Water Qilin ignored Xiao Yicai. Instead, it forced him back and thrust its huge head before Su Han, as though it would swallow him whole the next second.

"Spirit Lord!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yicai cried out nervously.

Su Han, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, silently reciting a Buddhist invocation in his heart. Amitabha.

Su Han could not guarantee that, with the Demonic Heart's additional influence, the Water Qilin would still be unable to sense the Blood Devouring Pearl as it had in the original work.

Therefore.

Su Han took the initiative to use the Thought of Buddha-Demon ability of the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart trait, altering his aura and concealing the Demonic Energy of the Blood Devouring Pearl.

At the same time, Su Han silently said to the system in his heart, "System, inspect the traits of Spirit Lord Water Qilin."

This part of the book drew from the Zhu Xian animation. Shui Yue appeared in the animation, so there might be some discrepancies with the memories of novel readers.

There was also the question of why Shui Yue noticed something unusual about the protagonist: it was because the protagonist actively used the trait's ability.

If the protagonist did not actively use this ability, no one would be able to notice it.

Just like how no one could tell that Zhang Xiaofan had cultivated Great Brahma Prajna in the original work. But if he used Great Brahma Prajna right in front of others, who would fail to notice?
