Chapter 377 Wandering Immortality!

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Although Ye Lai was calling out "the master of this body" just now, he might not be calling the young man in front of him. He might also be talking to the unknown scholar across the air!

Well, that makes a lot more sense when you think about it this way.

…

What the hell is reasonable!

Judging from Ye Lai and the attitude of this young man, he was clearly calling Yu Cang!

No matter how Ranzhi tried to convince himself, he couldn't ignore the fact that the two people in front of him were clearly having a conversation just now.

But……

Ran Zhi took a breath of cold air.

The young man in front of him was obviously just an ordinary young man, and he would definitely not be wrong about this!

Having spent so much time in the Primal Chaos, his perceptions had become specialized. When he saw another being, he only needed to sense its soul fluctuations to roughly determine the approximate duration of its existence.

The range perceived by this method is not very accurate, but no matter how poor the accuracy is, the person in front of me is perceived as being as immature as can be!

Normally, this perception ability is mainly used on souls that are hundreds or thousands of years old, so Yu Cang, who is only twenty years old at first glance... can be said to be quite conspicuous.

Because it is the perception of the soul, there is no possibility of an old monster taking over the body of a young person.

The error in Ranzhi's perception would not exceed twenty years, but to be honest, at this age, even if we calculated it to be around forty years old at the maximum, it was still a bit outrageous.

Whose forty-year-old has two myths under his command, and has mastered the knowledge of opening the Chaos Channel, the summons he initiates, and even the secret method of ignoring the palace?

This is totally unreasonable!

However, Ye Lai clearly called out the words "Master of this body", and Yu Cang responded very naturally - although he had met Ye Lai twice, he could still sense his arrogance. Even if Yu Cang was the scholar's apprentice, he would never have called out the four words "Master of this body".

Ran Zhi tried to calm down and was silent for a long time before he asked with some difficulty:

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, but who are you...?"

"Ah... I forgot to introduce myself." Yu Cang clapped his hands. "Then let me introduce myself - my name is Yu Cang, an ordinary scholar from Blue Star... I heard from Ye that you have been trying to find someone who can open a channel between the Chaos and Starry Sky Vision. If there is no second person, then it should be me."

Ran Zhi: “…”

ah?

No, he hasn't returned to the human world for hundreds of thousands of years. Are the young people in the human world so outrageous now?

Considering your age, have you finished your studies?... With so many "textbooks" in front of you, you definitely haven't finished.

Whose good person university project is to rub the jump engine by hand?

At this moment, Ran Zhi's heart was churning. Looking at Yu Cang's face, which seemed too young no matter what race he was in, he really couldn't connect it with the purpose of his trip.

On the way, he had imagined countless possible appearances of this scholar, but he had never thought of the situation before him.

But now that things have come to this, facing the facts, no matter how absurd they are, Ran Zhi can only accept them.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the end, one idea became more firm.

"Respected scholar!" Ran Zhi knelt on one knee and said with a firm look, "Please allow me to become your disciple. I swear by my real name that I will be loyal to you and only you from now on!"

"Oh?" Yu Cang said with interest. "As you can see, I'm just a young man, not a strong man. Even if I have some useful knowledge, it's nothing in front of the Imaginary Palace... You're so firm from the start, it's hard for me to believe how true your oath is."

"Ran Zhi is willing to give up his true name!"

"Really?" Yu Cang did not comment.

Real names are indeed an effective means of restraint.

Seeing that Yu Cang still had no intention of agreeing, Ran Zhi continued, "Admittedly, you are still a little insignificant in front of the Xushu Palace, but you are really too young. To have achieved such an achievement at such a young age, there will be no other person in the entire starry sky.

"Although I haven't returned to the mortal world in a long time, I've heard of the crisis in the Wilderness. In times of chaos like this, someone will surely emerge to shoulder the responsibility and save everything. In terms of talent and ability, you are undoubtedly the most qualified person!

"Being able to return to the real world is enough for me to give up eternal life. If I can help scholars like you build their careers while returning to the real world, Ran Zhi will not hesitate at all!"

Every word Ran Zhi said was true, at least from Yu Cang's perspective, it didn't sound fake.

Yu Cang raised his eyebrows.

This Ran Zhi guessed quite accurately.

He began to understand Ran Zhi's idea a little bit... For example, it was like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and many heroes emerged. At this time, anyone with ability could declare himself king, recruit talents, and wait for an opportunity to seize the orthodoxy.

Ran Zhi obviously regarded himself as a person to rely on, and Yu Cang was the "orthodoxy" he chose.

If Yu Cang could really end the chaotic world later, then Ran Zhi would have made the right bet.

Returning to the real world and making great achievements, no wonder he is so obsessed.

However...looking at Ran Zhi's rich emotions, Yu Cang felt inexplicably strange.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Ran Zhi, how long have you lived in Chaos?"

"I can't remember clearly, but it should be over a hundred thousand years."

"Over a hundred thousand years..." Yu Cang sighed, "It's really not easy to still be so passionate."

Ran Zhi was stunned: "Do you think I'm just acting now?"

"No, at least I can't see it."

"Scholar, I can explain!" Ran Zhi said quickly, "This is all due to the 'secret method' of the Imaginary Palace. Any soul that obtains this secret method will no longer be affected by external factors, including their own. No matter how long I live, as long as I possessed the passion I possessed when I obtained it, this passion will never fade."

"So magical?" Yu Cang became interested. "What's the principle?"

"That... I don't know either, but some people in the palace have some guesses." Ran Zhi pondered for a moment before saying, "The essence of the secret technique is to first copy a personality and then erase the original. No matter what happens next, the secret technique will simulate emotions for the user based on the copied data, making the user believe that these emotions are their own illusions."

"...It doesn't sound like some serious secret method."

"There's no other way. In this chaos, the only option is to perish."

Yu Cang nodded slightly, then looked at his hand.

There, there was a black soul card...which was the soul card generated when Ran Zhi was summoned just now.

…

Soul Card Name: Burning Persistence·Wandering Immortality

Category: Summon Card

Power: 5

Quality: Excessive

Attribute: Dark

Race: Humanoid

ability:

Two or more materials with a star level of 5.

[Immortal Secret]: After removing any material, you can activate this effect. Select Soul Cards from your Deck, Death Cooldown, Disconnected, or on the field equal to the number of materials. These Soul Cards become Xylo Materials for that Soul Card. The selected Soul Cards must match any one of the materials in Star Rank, Attribute, or Type, and the difference in Star Rank or Power must not exceed 5.

Where Do I Go?: Activate by releasing this Soul Card, sending the Soul Card's materials to the Deck, Death Cooldown, Disconnect, or the Field. A maximum of one can be sent to each location.

…

The ability introduction seems confusing, but it is not difficult to understand.

When using this card, it is a process of taking it out and putting it back, but it is quite powerful.

To give a simple example, Yu Cang uses two Half-Dragon Headhunters as materials to summon Burning Zhi. Then he can remove one Headhunter, activate [Immortal Secret] to directly use a big monster in the deck as material, and then activate [Where Do I Go] to liberate himself and put this big monster on the field... It is equivalent to summoning it directly.

Ran Zhi's power is 5, and the difference between the soul card selected by [Immortal Secret] and Ran Zhi's power cannot exceed 5, so the range that can be selected is 0-10. The most basic benefit is to directly pull out a tenth-level summoned beast.

The range of soul cards that can be selected is also quite flexible. As long as any one of the three items, star level, attributes, and race, is the same as the removed material, it is easy to put together.

Moreover, Burning Determination can do more than that. These two abilities combined have many uses. Whether it is recovering Soul Cards from the Death Cooldown or Disconnect Zone, or directly selecting Soul Cards from the deck to send to the Graveyard, it can be done easily.

It’s a pity that [Where Do I Go] limits sending one card to each place... otherwise the benefits would be even greater.

What surprised Yu Cang was that these two abilities... obviously came from the secret techniques of the Imaginary Palace, not from Ran Zhi's lifetime.

Hmm... Come to think of it, Ran Zhi has been in the chaos for hundreds of thousands of years. This period of time is probably far longer than the time he has been in the human world... Yu Cang even suspects that he may not even remember what he looked like in the human world.

Judging from the introduction of these two abilities, Ran Zhi’s introduction to the secret techniques of the royal palace should be almost the same, at least the principles should be similar.

In short, the soul card Ranzhi is qualified and easy to use as a resource transfer soul card, and can be added to your own construction.

It just so happens that I’m preparing to upgrade my deck recently, so... I’ll add him in.

Thinking this in his heart, Yu Cang just clicked his tongue on the surface.

"That's fine—but let me be clear," Yu Cang said, "I may have further contact with the Imaginary Palace. We may be hostile or cooperative, but no matter what the situation is, I don't want you to make things too difficult for me."

Upon hearing this, Ran Zhi's face lit up with joy.

Excellent! The scholar agrees!

He immediately said seriously: "Don't worry, I know what to do!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to nod his forehead, and suddenly, a golden name flew out and appeared in front of Yu Cang.

This was naturally Ran Zhi's real name. Yu Cang accepted it without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ran Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, Mr. Scholar," he leaned forward gently and said, "When I was still in this world, I was also a scholar and had some superficial understanding of various systems. What are you doing? Perhaps I can provide some assistance."

"Oh?" Yu Cang raised his brows, "Do you still remember what you learned before?"

"I don't remember that - but I can learn it on the spot. At least as an assistant, I'm definitely qualified!"

"...Then there's no need." Yu Cang shook his head. "The state you're in now is called 'excess'. I haven't studied it too deeply because I'm worried about the attention of the Imaginary Palace. So, you can't really exist in the real world for a long time now, so forget about studying."

"Ah?" Ran Zhi was stunned. "Doesn't that mean..."

"That's right." Yu Cang said, "If the Imaginary Palace finds this place, I won't be able to pull you into the real world and provide you with shelter. Then, you may need to find a way on your own."

Ran Zhi's face froze, but he quickly understood Yu Cang's intention: "Don't worry! I'm responsible for this direction. I will definitely not let the Imaginary Palace discover this place! During this time, you can freely research the super quantity, and it will definitely not attract unnecessary covetousness!"

"That's good."

Yu Cang couldn't help but smile.

Although Ranzhi's soul card is powerful, his greatest role now is to help him obtain information about the Imaginary Palace.

How can it be justified that they have produced so much but are not allowed to research it?

With such an insider, he can finally let go.

"Then you should go back first."

"Okay!" Ran Zhi agreed, "If you need anything, please let me know!"

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the chaos.

…

Opening his eyes in a chaotic cloud of mist, Ran Zhi let out a long breath.

He hadn't expected his luck to be so good. With the Chaos so vast, he had actually found this scholar so easily...

Although the result was different from what he expected, he believed in his own judgment.

If this succeeds, he will not only be able to return to the real world, but also directly jump into the center of power in the entire starry sky!

After all, if Yu Cang really ended the chaotic world, then rebuilding a set of order that belonged to him was inevitable. And as a loyal minister, he would definitely be valued.

It doesn't matter even if he makes a wrong bet. Chaos is too boring and he is almost fed up with it. It's not a loss to be able to find such great fun before dying.

as well as……

Ran Zhi lowered his head and looked at his hands.

Well... now that he has returned to Chaos, he has also discovered that although Yu Cang's summoning method called "superquantity" is very convenient, it also has great hidden dangers.

Just like just now, Yu Cang should have only summoned a part of himself, and a relatively weak part.

This is normal. After all, Yu Cang is very young. Even if he is knowledgeable, what he can do is limited by his own strength. He cannot act too recklessly... This can explain why Feng and Ye Lai have been staying outside the chaos.

It seems that it will take a long time before Yu Cang summons all of them to the world... Before that, he will probably have to help Yu Cang avoid the gaze of the Imaginary Palace.

After meeting Yu Cang, he already understood that the Virtual Palace could offer Yu Cang too little and it was impossible for it to allow such a scholar to join.

Immortality? Yu Cang is only twenty years old. The future and possibilities are countless. Does he need your fake immortality?

Contact with Chaos? Yu Cang can easily summon souls, and it seems that there is no cost at all, and he doesn't need you at all.

The Imaginary Palace wants to obtain knowledge from Yu Cang, but they simply cannot pay anything equivalent to this knowledge, so... they will definitely not be able to reach an agreement, and at that time the Imaginary Palace will most likely use force.

This will obviously affect Yu Cang's research, so... he has to mediate!

Licking his lips, Ranzhi felt that his heart, which had been silent for a long time, was filled with motivation for the first time in a long time.
