"Eternal Sacred Fire is an Ancient level technique that I created only for Yuehai as a symbol of my eternal love for her.." Su Yang declared melancholy, his gaze seemed to look far away.
"…"
Qiuyue remained silent.
It was no wonder why his mother treated this technique so lovingly and attentively.
"But .. why did mom give me this technique before she died?" Qiuyue silently looked at the flickering silver fireball in his palm like a candle flame, his gaze filled with uncertainty.
"How many techniques have you comprehended so far?" Su Yang suddenly asked her.
"Just the initial stage .." he replied in a regretful tone.
"That's good enough for someone at your level," Su Yang nodded in agreement. "It looks like you inherited more than just your mother's pretty looks."
"what legacy?" he looked at her with a confused face.
"The Eternal Sacred Fire was created with everything I know about Yuehai in mind, so you can say that it is a technique designed to match his talent, making him the only person in the world who could possibly understand and fully master it. Since you can use a technique that is only meant for Yuehai, it means that you also have what it takes to learn this technique – like your mother, "Su Yang explained to her.
"…"
Qiuyue stood there silently, seemingly shocked.
After listening to Su Yang explanation, Qiuyue was more surprised by the fact that he was able to create a technique at the Ancient level designed for one person.
Creating his own cultivation technique required extraordinary talent, let alone creating a cultivation technique that was specifically meant for one individual in the world, and for Su Yang to achieve such a feat, he said, his talent could only be considered abnormal.
It should also be mentioned that cultivation techniques almost never discriminate against anyone who wants to learn their secrets, so anyone who has the ability to understand their contents will be able to master them for as long as they are able to.
However, the cultivation technique created so that only one person in the world could understand it was something that Qiuyue had never heard of.
Just what was the existence of Su Yang in the four divine heavens like?
Other than the things he had learned about him since he had spent time with him, Qiuyue only knew Su Yang as a mentor and honored guest in the Sacred Moon Palace, who later also became a father figure to him, as well, but it was about the limits of his knowledge of his background.
Her mother, Yuehai, also almost never spoke of Su Yang's background outside the Holy Moon Palace, or his actual relationship with her.
Damn, the only time Qiuyue really learned anything about Su Yang was after his death when his mother shared with him some of his memories with Su Yang out of sadness and loneliness.
Su Yang suddenly approached her and raised his hand, and he spoke as he stared at the flashing silver flames in his hand: "When I have the chance, the, I will give you a guide to help you better understand the Eternal Sacred Fire."
"… Un.." Qiuyue slowly nodded with a slightly reddish face.
Su Yang then turned around to see where Tang Hu disappeared from with a brooding expression.
"I never got a chance to figure out how he got the depraved Technique. Was it given to him, or did he accidentally find it?"
After thinking for a moment, he shrugged, clearly not interested in the situation.

As these houses were covered by soundproof barriers, he could not hear the commotion inside the house.
However, this silence only made him even more anxious.
What's going on inside?
Was Tang Hu still alive, or had he long since died at the hands of Su Yang?
What if Su Yang is in trouble?
Dozens of questions popped up in Meng Jia's head, each making her desire to return inside a little stronger.
And finally, after a few more minutes, the door opened.
Su Yang appeared a moment later, his expression was calm and without the slightest bit of pressure.
Meng Jia looked at him with a puzzled expression. Why did he look so calm at this moment, making it seem as if nothing had happened inside?
"W-What happened to Tang Hu?" he asked her after a moment of silence.
Su Yang did not answer her question and simply gestured for her to return home.
As soon as Meng Jia entered the house, she was astonished by the sight.
Other than the small pool of blood that was on the floor of Su Yang's former light slap, there wasn't the slightest sign of Tang Hu being there, almost as if his existence had been erased.
"Where is Tang Hu?" Meng Jia asked, her heart filled with a strong feeling of uneasiness.
"He's dead" Su Yang said for no reason.
When Meng Jia heard his indifferent words, her body trembled, and she knelt down with tears streaming down both sides of her face as she cried out.
"A ... What should I do now with her gone? I've only been with him since I joined this Sect with him a year ago!" Meng Jia said as she looked at Su Yang with sad eyes, looking as if she wanted him to help her decide.
"That's not something I should decide," Su Yang said after a moment of silence.
"Life is always full of unknown paths, each with sad moments waiting for you at some point. Even though I can't help you decide your life, don't hesitate to look for me if you need guidance at any time while I'm still here."
"…"
Moments after he said those words, Meng Jia, still with tears streaming down her cheeks, spoke: "What about things other than guidance? Can I come to you for other things too?" he asked with a hint of despair in his eyes.
Su Yang smiled, but when he opened his mouth to speak, the atmosphere suddenly became ominous and gloomy.
The smile on Su Yang's handsome face instantly turned into a bitter smile, and he glanced at his own room with the corner of his eyes, where Qiuyue clearly saw their interaction with his Spiritual Sense.
