133: amputated arm
Under the guidance of the Spirit Child, Su Quan walked along the winding, secluded path, heading toward the summit of Dao Peak.
Thinking of the two treasures he had just obtained from Bing Yuxin, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of his mouth.
It was as if someone had delivered a pillow just as he was starting to doze off.
With his regret value balance bottoming out, he could only try to use these external objects to continue his cultivation of the Emperor Scripture.
"Host, these items can at most increase Divine Soul activity by three times, which is a far cry from the hundredfold activity produced by the System. Therefore, please work hard to obtain more regret value!" the System reminded him.
"I know that!"
Su Quan curled his lip; how could external objects compare to a cheat?
Speaking of which, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.
Su Qianqian treated him as prey, but was he not also treating Su Qianqian as prey?
With that woman's Aptitude and strength, her rating was bound to be terrifyingly high. As long as he could pull off this score, the regret value needed to Cultivate the Emperor Scripture would be secured.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
At the summit of Dao Mountain, there was a lush bamboo forest. The emerald bamboos stood tall and straight against the wind, gathering an incredibly dense amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.
The Spirit Child stopped outside the bamboo forest and bowed, saying, "Young Master Su, my Young Miss is inside. Please go in to see her!"
"Alright!"
Su Quan composed his emotions and strode into the bamboo forest.
Just as he stepped inside, strange fluctuations instantly surged forth.
"This is..."
Su Quan's hairs stood on end.
In his world, the lush bamboo forest erupted with terrifying killing intent. The bamboos were moving rapidly according to some mysterious pattern, laying down a great killing Formation.
"Is this crazy woman trying to kill me?"
The thought flashed through Su Quan's mind.
But he immediately dismissed the conjecture.
The gap in their strength was like cloud and mud; if she really wanted to kill him, she wouldn't need to go to such great trouble.
Then... was she testing him? Or did she want him to make a fool of himself?
Su Quan had no time for deep thought, for the bamboo forest Formation was already complete. Every green bamboo released a halo, and with a tremor, they shot out dense Qi Gang, weaving together like a great net that descended upon the youth's head.
"Shocking Peng Phantom Steps!"
Su Quan's eyes grew deep as he peered into the Formation's patterns.
The phantom of a world-shocking Peng appeared behind him, and his movement was like a ghost, weaving back and forth through the sky full of Qi Gang.
"To break the Formation, I must find the position of the Formation eye!"
While dodging, Su Quan used his Divine Soul to sense the internal logic of the Formation's operation.
His Divine Soul strength was dozens of times greater than an ordinary person's, and he easily captured a trace of the source.
"There!"
Su Quan took a step forward and dashed toward the northern part of the bamboo forest. Using his finger as a sword, he condensed a powerful Sword Intent, intending to sever that brilliant emerald bamboo.
But at that moment, another change occurred.
The already fierce bamboo forest Qi Gang instantly soared several times over. If it was a great net before, now even the gaps in the net were completely sealed.
"This is bad!"
A look of ruthlessness appeared on Su Quan's face.
Despite his appearance as a harmless and delicate handsome youth, he was actually the lawless Burial Heaven Demon Lord, the dragon-slaying youth who dared to ascend to the heavens and dive into the seas.
He was ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself.
"Void Sword Shadow!"
He swung his right arm against the sky full of Qi Gang, and a sky-piercing Sword Qi erupted from his two fingers.
The emerald bamboo was severed by the Sword Qi.
Just as the endless Qi Gang was about to submerge the youth, it came to a screeching halt and then slowly dissipated into the world.
"Huff, huff, huff—"
Su Quan was panting heavily.
That Void Sword Shadow just now had completely drained the True Essence in his body. This was an ultimate technique from his life as the Burial Heaven Demon Lord; using it during the Qi Refining Stage was still too much of a strain.
"It seems that crazy woman really wanted to put me to death!"
He looked at his right arm, which had been torn to shreds by the Qi Gang. Emerald green blood continuously seeped from the base of his arm. With the final power of that Formation, even a Golden Core Cultivator would have no way out if they couldn't see through the Formation eye.
"So you are the Named Disciple Taiyi took in? To be able to walk out of the Green Bamboo Soul-Returning Formation alive is indeed praiseworthy," a calm voice sounded from behind.
Su Quan turned around abruptly.
The tall figure of a girl appeared not far away. Her lotus Daoist robe outlined her full chest, her wine-red hair fluttered in the wind, and her narrow phoenix eyes were cold and heartless.
A row of data quickly formed.

It's actually SSSS-grade!
It's even a grade higher than his Prodigy Disciple Di Yan, who possessed the Indestructible Sword Body.
Just what kind of sacred being is this person?
Hiding his shock deep in his heart, Su Quan showed no emotion on the surface. Clutching his severed right arm, he asked warily, "Who are you?"
"Remember my name!"
Su Qianqian traversed space in a single step, instantly appearing close in front of Su Quan.
The two were of similar height, their lips almost touching, and they could both feel each other's scorching and sweet breath.
"My name is Su Qianqian. You can also call me..."
At this point, Su Qianqian's cherry lips curled into a devilish smile. "Senior Sister!"
Looking at the pink cherry lips right in front of him, Su Quan didn't even think and immediately feigned surprise as he leaned in to kiss them. "Senior Sister? I see. Could you be my Revered Master Taiyi's personal Disciple sister?"
"What are you doing!"
Su Qianqian staggered back half a step.
For the first time, an emotional fluctuation appeared on her icy-fair face.
If she had been even a fraction slower just now, the two of them would have... would have kissed.
"Stupid brother, even if your memories haven't awakened, you're still a flirtatious little bitch to the core. No wonder you're a Peerless Male Socialite whose reputation spread through the Immortal Domain, toyed with by so many women. You really bring shame to the Su Family!"
Su Qianqian's state of mind cultivation was extremely high, but every time she faced Su Quan, her anger and hatred were easily provoked.
Su Quan feigned ignorance and asked with a look of shock, "Then, then the Formation just now was also set by you?"
"That's right, This Young Miss set it!"
"Why? You're my fellow Senior Sister? Why would you want to harm me?" Su Quan questioned hysterically, clutching his severed right arm.
A severed arm was a major disability for a Mortal, and for a Cultivator, it was a devastating blow.
According to the mainstream of the cultivation world, the vast majority of Cultivators were best at using their right side for their lifelong Daoist arts. Severing the right arm was destroying one's cultivation. Even if one's cultivation wasn't destroyed by luck, there would be many inconveniences in practicing Daoist arts in the future after losing a right arm.
"Harm you? What do you think you are? Are you even worthy of This Young Miss harming you!"
Su Qianqian ridiculed him mercilessly, her cold eyes looking down at the youth's angry face.
The angrier this face became, the more satisfied she felt inside.
"This was just a simple test from This Young Miss. If you couldn't even walk out of such a trash Formation, then you're not worthy of being my fellow Disciple!"
"But..."
Su Quan wanted to say something more, but in the end, he only sighed and said, "Senior Sister, have I passed the test now?"
"Since I've allowed you to call me Senior Sister, you've naturally passed the test!"
"But my right arm..."
"You should have retained the memories of your previous life. Your Physical Body was reshaped using the Divine Lotus Root. There isn't a second one to be found in the world; even the Taiyi Immortal King would be powerless."
Su Qianqian crossed her arms and revealed a gloating smile.
"Does this mean... I'll only be disabled like this from now on!" Su Quan's eyes turned red, showing his anger on his face.
"Congratulations, you're right, but there's no prize!"
Su Qianqian spread her hands, her narrow phoenix eyes full of delight. "You're not thinking of blaming your severed arm on your Senior Sister, are you? This Young Miss could destroy a trash Formation like that with a single glance!"
"So, you can only blame your own inferior skills!"
"In the cultivation world, weakness is the original sin. This is the first lesson your Senior Sister is teaching you!"
She looked at the dazed handsome youth and silently added in her heart: "Just as you were back then!"
