To do something against one's heart—especially something of such magnitude—would, once done, become a nightmare that haunted him for life. It would shatter the state of mind he had cultivated for centuries and send him plunging completely onto the demonic path.
Should his soul one day return to the Yellow Springs, he feared he would have no face to meet his old friends of the past.
As Su Shi'er's thoughts turned, Granny Yun's voice sounded by his ear once more.
"Actually, your idea of using Heavenly Doom Stones to suppress his cultivation, though risky, is indeed feasible!"
"However, this method still has a flaw. No matter how much preparation you make, with this flaw, your chance of victory will be no more than twenty percent."
"Of course, if you are willing to help me find what I seek, I will not only give you a hundred Heavenly Doom Stones, but also point out how you may make up for that flaw."
Su Shi'er's heart gave a jolt. He could not spare a thought for whether she had once again seized the initiative.
A sharp gleam flashed through his eyes as he asked in surprise, "There is still... a flaw?"
Granny Yun smiled faintly and said with a beaming expression, "Once one's cultivation reaches the Out-of-Body stage, one will cultivate a Primordial Spirit."
"Though the Venerable Lord of Demon Shadow Palace attained the Out-of-Body stage through a shortcut, his Primordial Spirit is nonetheless genuine."
"Once the Primordial Spirit leaves the body, it can cast off the shackles of the physical body and is almost unaffected by Heavenly Doom Stones."
"Once his physical body is destroyed, his Primordial Spirit will inevitably appear. At that time, he will surely use his Primordial Spirit to attack. How... do you intend to deal with that?"
