As the Asura King departed, the tense atmosphere on the battlefield gradually eased. The warriors of the Kuanglan Tribe immediately began to cheer for Che Ma, their fierce Asura visages on full display as they roared with excitement.
Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Moxuan quietly approached a nearby corpse on the battlefield. The body was relatively intact, having not been severely affected by the chaos of battle. In his hand, he held a black orb that shielded him from any potential probing by the Asura God.
With a surge of spiritual energy, Chen Moxuan directed it into the corpse. Having previously repaired Che Ma's body, he had gained an in-depth understanding of its structure. Now, he compared it to this ordinary Asura corpse, meticulously searching for discrepancies.
Sure enough, at the center of both heads, specifically at the point between their brows, he noticed a subtle difference. Che Ma had an additional tiny organ, no larger than a grain of rice, which was likely the Heart's Eye.
Chen Moxuan mentally noted this discovery and then quietly left the battlefield to return to the cave. As soon as he stepped inside, he was drawn in by a lively atmosphere. He saw Che Ma engaged in combat with several Asura from the Kuanglan Tribe. His movements were both wild and precise, each strike eliciting gasps of admiration from those around him.
The other Asura formed a circle around them, watching intently and erupting into cheers from time to time. Just as Chen Moxuan was about to find a place to sit down, the haunting voice of the Asura God echoed in his ears once more, as if it had been watching him all along.
"You seem like you've lived for ten thousand years, yet why have I never seen you before?" The Asura God's voice carried a hint of amusement.
Chen Moxuan maintained an expressionless facade as he replied, "There are many who prefer to remain hidden; there are countless experts across the continent. Do you expect to know them all?"
"Unfortunately, most of them I do know," came the response.
Chen Moxuan's heart sank at this revelation. If the Asura God was aware of most situations on the continent, it could only mean one thing: the Asura God had connections with other Abysses. Perhaps it was similar to how he had arrived in Xianyuan Shengzhou through that mysterious cave. Was it possible that there were private connections among these great Abysses?
Chen Moxuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If you had known me earlier, you would have been utterly terrified, and the Asura Clan would have been annihilated by me."
The voice of the Asura God abruptly vanished, and in the next instant, a roar echoed fiercely in Chen Moxuan's ears.
"You arrogant fool! I can kill you anytime I want."
Chen Moxuan glanced at the statue before him, a cold smile spreading across his face.
"Say what you will; you, who lack even a physical form, have no means to deal with me."
As the Asura God seethed with rage, on the verge of losing control, Chen Moxuan's voice rang out at just the right moment.
"Asura God, Yama—have you heard that name before?"
Upon hearing this, a gray shadow suddenly appeared beside Chen Moxuan; it was none other than the Asura God's essence.
His fury lessened slightly, but his tone remained icy. "Yama? I have indeed heard of him. The ruler of Difu—are you Yama?"
"I am Yama," Chen Moxuan replied flatly, as if stating an undeniable fact.
The Asura God's essence trembled slightly, and after a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Yama, do you remember someone named Qin Guang?"
Hearing that name brought a flood of memories rushing back to Chen Moxuan.
Of course he remembered Qin Guang; in fact, Difu's existence was largely due to this person. At that time, Qin Guang possessed a treasure known as the Death Register and was the leader of an assassin organization.
When Chen Moxuan first heard this person's name and the name of his treasure, he immediately felt inspired to establish an organization of his own for fun. However, creating an organization turned out to be quite an interesting endeavor.
Chen Moxuan quickly found satisfaction in it, and the organization grew larger and larger.
"Qin Guang," Chen Moxuan slowly uttered the name, a complex glimmer flashing in his eyes. "Of course I remember him."
Upon hearing this, the Asura God seemed to fall into some kind of reminiscence, his tone becoming intricate. "I see; it seems our connection runs deeper than I imagined."
Chen Moxuan regarded the Asura God thoughtfully, contemplating silently within himself.
The mention of Qin Guang by the Asura God was no coincidence. Behind this lay events from a thousand years ago, though it remained unclear what Qin Guang had done back then.
Suddenly, the Asura God asked, "After your disappearance, there were rumors that all the strongest assassins in Difu were slain. I want to know if Qin Guang is still alive."
Chen Moxuan could sense that the Asura God had completely let go of his anger, as if he understood that he was invincible. Since he was also interested in the events of that year, he replied, "Of course he's dead. We can't leave a traitor in charge of my forces."
The Asura God’s spirit remained stagnant for a long while before he suddenly said, "The Heart's Eye secret technique was something he told me about back then. A thousand years ago, the strongest race in this abyss was not our Asura Clan. It was a humanoid race known as the Three-Eyed Beast Clan."
At that time, Qin Guang had come to the abyss searching for a poisonous herb. Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow and interrupted, "If I remember correctly, that poisonous herb was meant to kill me."
The Asura God fell silent awkwardly. Seeing this, Chen Moxuan waved his hand and said, "Continue."
After a moment of silence, the Asura God resumed, "Anyway, he's dead now, so I won't hide anything about those events. Back then, due to a lack of accumulated Divine Ability, our Asura Clan needed a way to not fall behind other races after entering the Dong Xuan Realm. The only solution was for me and several previous Asura Kings to pass down our legacy."
Coincidentally, at that time, Qin Guang arrived; he was captured after failing to defeat the reigning Asura King. To save his life, Qin Guang revealed everything he knew about Difu to that Asura King.
"Ha!" Chen Moxuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "It seems I didn’t kill him by mistake; I really did have poor judgment back then."
The Asura God continued, "He also told me about a method that supposedly relates to the secret technique you are currently developing."
Chen Moxuan was taken aback. How could he develop a secret technique when he had never been able to practice anything before?
The Asura God explained, "He said you had a theory: Tian Yan is hidden near the third eye located in the center of human foreheads. You referred to it as Tian Mu; once activated, it would grant boundless mental power."
Chen Moxuan rolled his eyes in disbelief and asked incredulously, "Are you saying that based on my wild speculation, you created a similar secret technique?"
The Asura God's spirit trembled with agitation. "Wild speculation?"
Chen Moxuan blinked; he remembered clearly how Qin Guang had been gathering various Divine Ability techniques for him at that time. Together with another partner from the Ten Halls of Yama, Qin Guang had killed a powerful expert and obtained a rather peculiar eye technique.
