Chapter 492: The Yin-Yang Disenchantment Book and the Yearning for the World of Chaos
Facing the Elder’s words, Chen Changsheng remained calm throughout.
“I have heard your story. If I were in your shoes, I might have done the same.”
“Additionally, I am very curious about that world you mentioned. Could you describe it to me?”
Upon hearing this, the Elder pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
“The world of Chaos and our world are not vastly different.”
“If there must be a difference, it would be that the world of Chaos lacks reincarnation, while ours has it.”
“Besides these differences, the customs in the world of Chaos are completely different from ours.”
“That world is orderly and full of vibrant life.”
“In contrast, our world is only filled with intrigue and dirty battles. Such a world…”
“I have a question.”
Chen Changsheng interrupted the Elder, saying, “Where there are people, there will always be disputes.”
“Even if the world of Chaos is better, it can’t be without any disputes.”
“Once there are disputes, there will inevitably be intrigue and ruthless measures.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, the Elder shook his head vigorously and said, “It’s different!”
“In the world of Chaos, cultivators retain a bit of reason even in disputes.”
“But once disputes occur in our world, everyone turns into madmen, reckless madmen.”
“It is precisely because of this uncontrolled fighting that our world appears so desolate.”
As he spoke, the Elder struggled to get up from the bed and knelt before Chen Changsheng.
“Sage, though I do not know your background, I believe you can surely help Rain Life escape the Sea of Suffering.”
“If you are willing to extend your hand, I am willing to cast another divination for you.”
Looking at the Elder in front of him, Chen Changsheng helped him up.
“I remember what you said. I have many thoughts about this, but I cannot express them clearly.”
“After I retrieve my memories, I will definitely tell you what I think.”
“As for your grandson’s matter, I will try to solve it.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng agree, the Elder was moved, “Thank you, Sage. I will start the divination right away.”
“It’s unnecessary,” Chen Changsheng waved his hand, refusing the Elder, “Destiny is for those with a connection.”
“You gave me a divination, completing my name. I accept this good fortune.”
“Fate cannot be forced. If you use your life to cast this second divination, we may not end up with a good outcome.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the Elder glanced at the rain outside, then bowed his hands and said.
“Thank you for enlightening me; I understand now.”
“It’s good that you understand. Let’s talk about something serious.”
“Do you know the origin of this book?”
Chen Changsheng took out a peculiar-looking book from his chest. In the center of its cover was a depression the size of a copper coin.
Seeing this book, the Elder immediately widened his eyes and said, “The Yin-Yang Disenchantment Book!”
“The Yin-Yang Disenchantment Book?”
“What is this?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s confusion, the Elder calmed his excited emotions and said, “There are countless great ways in the world, but none is harder to guard against than the Disenchantment Technique.”
“And no matter how the Disenchantment Techniques evolve, they always remain within the scope of this book.”
“Because this book is the general outline of the Disenchantment Technique!”
“So that’s how it is. Looks like I need to take some time to learn it.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng subtly took the Disenchantment Book from the Elder’s hand.
Seeing this, the Elder hesitated for a moment and said.
“What the Sage intends to do naturally does not concern me.”
“But since you have lost your memory, I still need to say more.”

“The Disenchantment Technique is also an evil path in this world, Sage, you must be very careful.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said, “What do you mean? Does it mean that the Disenchantment Technique can only be used for bad things and not for good ones?”
“Of course not. There is no distinction between good and evil in cultivation techniques; it depends on the spirit that uses them.”
“But every step of the Disenchantment Technique is walking on thin ice; a slight misstep could lead to total destruction.”
“Tsk tsk!”
“By saying that, you’ve made me even more curious. How dangerous is the Disenchantment Technique really?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s inquiry, the Elder opened his mouth and said, “The Disenchantment Technique has three dangers.”
“Firstly, the Disenchantment Technique does not require high strength from the target; as long as a suitable talisman is found, it can be immediately performed.”
“Due to the unique methods and explosive power of the Disenchantment Technique, the target often wins despite being weaker.”
“This could easily lead to arrogance, and with arrogance comes ruin.”
“Secondly, performing the Disenchantment Technique requires a corresponding price, especially for powerful Disenchantment Techniques, which are usually paid for with one’s lifespan.”
Speaking, the Elder paused and looked at Chen Changsheng.
“The first two dangers are not much of a problem for cultivators.”
“True danger lies in the third: the Disenchantment Technique can never be broken.”
“That’s a bit exaggerated, is there anything in the world that cannot be broken?”
“A single Disenchantment Technique can be broken, but if faced with endless Disenchantment Techniques?”
“When a Disenchantment Technique is broken, the target suffers a backlash. To remove the backlash, a stronger Disenchantment Technique must be used.”
“Two people counter each other’s moves until one is utterly destroyed.”
“The stronger the Disenchantment Technique used, the more life it consumes. Eventually, whether one wins or loses, neither side will have a good ending.”
“This is why the Disenchantment Technique is not favored by cultivators.”
After listening, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, “Hearing you say that, this thing indeed seems a bit sinister.”
“Every rule and restriction pushes cultivators towards d*ath. Such an extreme method indeed has a poor outcome.”
“But why can’t I open the Disenchantment Book? Is it because my strength isn’t enough?”
“To open the Disenchantment Book, you need the key inside the book.”
“Do you know where the key is?”
“I’ve only heard rumors about the Disenchantment Book. Even you don’t know where the key is, how could I know?”
“Right, such matters should wait until I recover my memories.”
“Also, I’m about to leave. Since I don’t know the final destination, why don’t you recommend a place?”
Hearing this, the Elder immediately took out a jade slip from his chest and handed it to Chen Changsheng.
“Your current situation is special; it’s impossible without the ability to protect yourself.”
“I learned the Dao on Dragon Tiger Mountain. If you’re interested, you can stay there for a while.”
“As for my grandson, let him serve you by pouring tea and serving water.”
“Alright, I’ll stay at Dragon Tiger Mountain for a while.”
“Are you not coming with us?”
“No.”
“Back then, I used a trick to snatch the Drought Corpse’s fate, and she harbors resentment towards me.”
“If I leave this place, allowing her body and soul to reunite, it would spell disaster for all living beings.”
Hearing the word ‘Drought Corpse,’ Chen Changsheng began deep in thought.
“I seem to have encountered something like this before, but the one I encountered had a three-character name.”
“I can’t remember exactly what it was called; it’s so frustrating.”
The Elder: ???
Among zombies, only the legendary Bone Immortal has a three-character name.
What did you encounter?
