Although Ding Huan sensed there was an issue with Yishang's Great Dao, he couldn't identify what the problem was.

It wasn't until Yishang explained it herself that he realized someone had left a soul mark on her Divine Soul.

"What cultivation technique are you practicing?" Ding Huan could only ask this question.

"Initially, I practiced the Green Lotus Great Dao with the Saintess. Later, after I left the Saintess, I obtained a scroll of the 'Minor Five Elements Technique' by chance, and have since been cultivating that technique."

Ding Huan nodded. The Minor Five Elements Technique may sound basic, but it is absolutely a potential-filled Tao Technique.

No wonder Yishang was able to cultivate to the level of a Three-Turn Saint and even aim to verify the Fourth-Turn.

But the problem remains that this woman's heart demon is unresolved.

After pondering for a while, Ding Huan suddenly called out into the air, "Lao Ga, what do you think?"

Yishang immediately held her breath; she had felt Xing Ga's Great Dao aura before, which definitely surpassed the Four-Turn Saint.

Xing Ga's voice was only heard by Ding Huan, "When this woman was verifying the Fourth-Turn, her mind was unstable, and someone imprinted a Life and Death Seal deep in her Divine Soul.

If I reached the Saint Level, solving this would be simple, but right now I can't. Removing her soul mark would cause her Great Dao to collapse.

This involves the separation of the Great Dao Rules, which requires utmost caution and cannot be done by someone with a weaker cultivation."

Ding Huan already understood. Xing Ga didn't know he was cultivating the Great Universe Technique, which involves studying the separation and integration of the infinite Laws of the Vast Universe.

Now that he is in the God Unification Realm, and knowing the other party is practicing the Minor Five Elements Technique, it is possible for him to help.

Moreover, he thought of a better way to make Yishang's troubles vanish once and for all, potentially helping her progress further.

But it depends on how determined she is.

He looked at Yishang and said, "I can indeed help you."

Yishang hadn't heard Xing Ga's response, and while she was feeling disappointed, she suddenly heard Ding Huan's words. She immediately looked at Ding Huan in surprise, "Ding Sect Master, as long as Yishang can do it, feel free to command." Pleasereadthischapteronits

Ding Huan said, "The first thing to resolve your issue is that you cannot have any more heart demons. If your Meteor is not forgotten, my help would be in vain."

Yishang looked at Ding Huan and said earnestly, "At the moment when Meteor stepped over my head and rushed out of the Calamity, I had no ties with him.

My heart demon is related to the Saintess; I just feel that I've wronged the Saintess. Without the Saintess, I wouldn't have attempted to reach the Fourth-Turn Saint, I wouldn't even exist in this Universe."

Ding Huan nodded: "That's good. While helping you strip away the soul mark, you must follow my instructions to the letter…"

"Ding Sect Master, isn't Supreme Elder Xing supposed to be the one assisting?" Yishang exclaimed in shock upon hearing Ding Huan's words.

Could this young-looking Ding Huan actually help her remove a mark left by a Three-Turn Saint?

Is he just speeding up her death?

Ding Huan smiled slightly, "Supreme Elder is in a critical stage of seclusion, so only I can help you with the separation now.

If you trust me, let's start. If you don't trust me, then just pretend I never said anything."

Seeing Yishang still in shock and disbelief, Ding Huan added:

"Daoist Yishang, if I'm not mistaken, you don't have much time left. At any moment, you could be eliminated or summoned back."

Yishang understood the meaning of Ding Huan's words. Her presence at Blue Star Academy had been noticed by Elder Chang Tingxi of the Baihe Sword Sect.

In other words, Chang Tingxi could pass this information on to Sect Master Fang Wuqiong of the Baihe Sword Sect at any time.

The soul mark on her was placed by Fang Wuqiong, and no matter how far apart they were, Fang Wuqiong had control over her.

Once Fang Wuqiong knows she illegally came to Blue Star Academy, wouldn't that raise suspicion?

"Alright, I'm willing." Yishang immediately made up her mind.

Before coming here, she had already decided to face death rather than continue being Fang Wuqiong's puppet enforcer in the Purple Maple Sacred Valley.

What would become of her future if she's just a tool now?

"If your problem gets solved, what do you plan to do next?" Ding Huan posed a crucial question.

If he was merely saving an ingrate, Ding Huan wouldn't bother to help.

Yishang, showing her resolve, responded, "Before I came, I had already decided to join Blue Star Academy and contribute to it. Should I break this vow, my Great Dao shall collapse."

"Good."

Ding Huan took out the Five Elements Great Dao from the Three Thousand Great Paths: "Memorize this cultivation technique by heart."

Yishang instinctively took the cultivation technique and exclaimed in shock, "Is this the Great Five Elements Technique?"

"Indeed, to solve your problem, the first step is to switch to cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique," Ding Huan stated.

"Thank you, thank you..."

If Yishang had any doubts left before, she now completely believed in Ding Huan's words.

Not to mention anything else, just this Great Five Elements Technique is something countless people yearn for but can never have.

In just half a day, Yishang had etched the Great Five Elements Technique deep into her memory.

As she observed the Great Five Elements Technique, Heaven and Earth Rules automatically formed; this couldn't be done with a mere copy.

"Sect Master, I've finished reviewing it." Yishang cautiously returned the cultivation technique to Ding Huan, with a changed mindset.

At her level, she already had a vague idea about what lay beyond the Nine-transformations Saint.

If she continued to cultivate the Small Five Elements Technique, even if she could reach the Nine-transformations Saint, she probably wouldn't go much further.

But the Great Five Elements Technique was different; its potential was immeasurable.

Ding Huan put away the Three Thousand Great Paths:

"Next, you open your Sea of Consciousness. As I extract the imprints from your Divine Soul, you begin to sever the Small Five Elements Technique and then start cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique..."

"Alright." Yishang responded very straightforwardly.

Immediately, Ding Huan constructed a Great Universe Technique Circulation using the Great Universe Technique.

Under this circulation, the Dao Rhythm Law of Yishang's Small Five Elements Technique clearly appeared in Ding Huan's perception.

When he sensed the Dao Rhythm of Yishang's technique and all the Five Element Dao Rhythms within it, he sighed inwardly.

This woman was truly naive and unfortunate. Even if Fang Wuqiong had not imprinted her soul, she would still end up serving others.

Because the Small Five Elements Technique that Yishang cultivated carried too many Dao Rhythm traces that did not belong to her.

She was just unaware of it before.

Now, because of his Great Universe Technique Circulation, Yishang's internal Great Dao Rules became clear, and Yishang also realized it.

Her face instantly turned pale.

At this moment, she also understood that the Small Five Elements Technique she had been cultivating was also a trap. Had she not been lucky enough to obtain the Small Five Elements Technique, it was likely left behind deliberately by someone else.

If she hadn't come here today, hadn't met Ding Huan, and hadn't severed her path...

Even if she had severed her path, without cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique, she would still be a tragedy.

Although she understood it in her heart, at this moment she dared not move a muscle, only feeling Ding Huan extracting the imprints from her soul mark.

She had prepared herself to faint.

Having cultivated to the Three-transformations Saint Realm, Yishang knew better than anyone how terrifying it was to extract imprints from the depths of the Divine Soul.

It was the agony of soul-tearing.

What stunned her was that Ding Huan was able to clearly identify each law imprinted deep in her Divine Soul and extract them one by one...

Although there was still the pain of tearing, it was much less severe than she had imagined.

As the laws not belonging to her own seven souls and six spirits were stripped away one by one, Yishang felt herself becoming increasingly lighter.

After who knows how long, Ding Huan's calm voice suddenly sounded by her ear: "Begin slaying the Dao, and then cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique..."

Prepared long ago, Yishang decisively severed her path.

She resolutely severed the Dao Rhythms of the Small Five Elements, resulting in her face growing paler and her cultivation plummeting rapidly, yet her mood was surprisingly more at ease.

As blood arrows spurted out, Yishang felt all the Dao Rhythm traces attached to the Small Five Elements Technique being thoroughly severed by her.

When she sensed herself again, Ding Huan's Divine Will had long since retreated.

How could Yishang not understand what was happening, and she began to circulate the Great Five Elements Technique for cultivation.

As the extremely dense Chaotic Divine Spirit Qi was absorbed by her, when she once more felt her cultivation rapidly recovering, Yishang could only feel tears streaming down her face.

In a maximum of two years, she would surely be fully restored.

While Yishang frantically restored her cultivation, Ding Huan arrived at the place where Xing Ga was in seclusion.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Ding Huan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Lao Ga, you're over seventy, yet you've restored yourself to a youngster?"

Xing Ga had just restored his physical body and his cultivation had reached the Heavenly God Realm. It likely wouldn't take long for him to return to the Saint Realm.

Xing Ga wasn't bothered by Ding Huan's teasing; instead, he looked at Ding Huan seriously: "Your Tao Technique is truly incredible. I knew I wasn't mistaken.

As long as that young girl restores her cultivation, combined with my presence here, you can rest assured returning to do your own things. When it's time to leave, I'll help you."

Xing Ga was speaking the truth; Ding Huan had so effortlessly helped Yishang extract a Divine Soul Imprint left by a Three-transformations Saint.

To be honest, even if he restored his cultivation to a Quasi-Saint level, he might not be able to do so.

Yet Ding Huan was only at the God Unification Realm, fourth layer.

"Lao Ga, I'm here to ask you for a favor," Ding Huan said with a cheeky smile.

Xing Ga responded without hesitation, "Whatever help you need, just let me know."

"There is something very important at the Blue Star Academy that I need to take. I just haven't found it yet, and I need your help in locating it," Ding Huan said.

What Ding Huan sought was the Eternal Life Talisman; since Xing Ga had once been an Eternal Saint, he might be able to sense it.

As for asking Zhuo Hong, Ding Huan never considered it.

If Zhuo Hong had wanted to tell him, he would have done so by now.

The reason for not telling him might very well be that Zhuo Hong was quite conflicted inside.

After all, this was a treasure of the holy talisman path. If she informed him of the talisman's location, allowing him to take the Eternal Life Talisman, it would undeniably appear as if she were betraying the Sect.
