Kai's expression darkened. "You've heard of it?"
She chuckled softly, intrigued. "When invoked at the brink of life and death, it splits the practitioner's soul into two—one retaining demonic essence, the other immortal."
Hearing this, Kai stared at her deeply. Long ago, after Liang had retrieved the mirror from the Hanging Cloud Abyss, it had remained dormant for centuries.
Then, during a desperate battle against a Spirit Severing expert while he was still at the Nascent Soul stage, Liang suffered irreparable soul damage—yet he slew his foe.
That was the moment the mirror awakened for the first time. It was then that the technique had been transmitted to him, a desperate salvation when all other paths had closed.
He hadn't expected Revenant Sia to know of this technique as well. Had he been wrong to assume it was tied solely to the mirror?
