Chapter 1942: Sage’s obsession, ignite
For example, he could try throwing Senior Skylark’s head over at a place where the Scholarly Sage’s obsession was relatively stronger.
He could also add Fairy Creation to the mix to strengthen the effect.
If he did all that, there was a chance he might ignite the Scholarly Sage’s obsession.
If this bold plan worked, as long as the power of the Scholarly Sage lasted for a decent time, Shuhang might be able to play a key role during this event.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Ruler of Shadows, after this Shadow Sanctum is activated, how long can it last?”
The Ruler of Shadows replied, “It depends on the number of obsessions you activate. The quality of the obsession is related to the amount of power that can be exerted after activating Shadow Sanctum. If the quality is about the same, the number of the obsession is what determines the amount of time the technique can work.”
Song Shuhang nodded, “I see. I’m going to take a walk around the scholarly faction and have a look at the area with the strongest obsession.”

With evil demons of the Netherworld, the Heavenly Emperor, and the fat ball appearing one after the other, it would do him good to be ready to ignite those obsessions before the enemy appeared.
Sixteen said, “Shuhang, do you know how to sense obsessions?”
1
The hand that Song Shuhang was using to hold Shadow Sanctum froze—Right, how do I sense obsessions?
He turned his head to look at the Ruler of Shadows and asked, “Senior, how can I sense obsessions?”
“There are several methods that you can use. One of these methods is to infer the location through historical records. If you want to summon a certain big shot, you can look through historical records and check where they stayed most of the time, and where major events related to them took place. Through this method, we can speculate the locations of the obsession of that big shot. However, this can only speculate approximate locations. In addition, such history is recorded by people, and that means that it is very likely to have errors,” said the Ruler of Shadows.
Song Shuhang nodded. “What are the other methods?”
The Ruler of Shadows said, “Another method is to find someone who is born with the talent to sense obsessions and ask them for help.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

The Ruler of Shadows said, “And another method that you can use is to use a set of magical techniques I have called ❮Obsession True Sight❯. By using this magical technique, the obsessions would look like flames to your eyes. The place where the flames are denser is where the obsession is most concentrated in both quality and quantity.”
Song Shuhang’s eyes shone brightly.
That’s perfect!
“However, that is a secret technique of mine, so I don’t intend on spreading it around,” the Ruler of Shadows added. “It’s useless no matter how bright your eyes shine.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword suggested, “Fellow Daoist Ruler of Shadows, how about you take him in as your adoptive son?”
The Ruler of Shadows replied decisively, “No.”
2
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword turned to Song Shuhang and said, “There’s only so much I can do to help you.”
Song Shuhang sighed and said, “In other words, I can only use the first option.”
“Actually, there is still another option,” Senior White’s clone said. “Fellow Daoist Shadow, do you have the time to help us check where the flames of obsession burn the strongest in the scholarly faction?”

After the Ruler of Shadows gave Song Shuhang the treasure, he had not immediately left for the Shadow Realm, and had instead stayed behind to watch how things played out. Since that was the case, it would be reasonable to think that he might have the intention to help them out.
Anyway, it was just a matter of asking. Asking a question did not cost any money, at least not in this case.
“No problem,” the Ruler of Shadows said happily. He then turned to Song Shuhang and said, “Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, your mind is not nimble enough, and your face is not thick enough.”
2
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword hurriedly said, “No, no, the thickness of his face is just right. Anyway, it’s not that his mind isn’t nimble enough, rather that he’s slightly overcautious toward a big senior like you.”
Song Shuhang’s way of thinking had already become one with that of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, and it was very jumpy.
When chatting with him, it was almost certain that the topic would stray from its original path and there was no knowing where the discussion would end up.
If he continued like this, his way of thinking would soon become something similar to Sage White’s or Soft Feather’s, and that was honestly not that favorable.
The Ruler of Shadows asked curiously, “Am I too intimidating? I honestly think that I’m a rather kind and gentle senior.”
1
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “It’s exactly because you’re kind that Tyrannical Song is much more cautious towards you.”
If you were a hostile Immortal-level senior, Song Shuhang would have long since started bothering you like a nasty flea, not showing any of the reluctance he’s showing right now.
1
“Is that so? I actually like Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song’s character.” The Ruler of Shadows laughed and said, “Anyway, let me see where obsession is the strongest here in the scholarly faction.”
2
After saying that, a portion of the Ruler of Shadows’ body floated out of the Inner Demon Cave before activating the ❮Obsession True Sight❯ and taking a look around the entire scholarly faction.
The Ruler of Shadows said, “I’ve found the place where the flames of obsession are burning the brightest. It’s an area on the eastern edge of the scholarly faction, inside a large rift valley. It’s quite an unexpected location. I initially thought that the flames of obsession would be most concentrated in places such as the residences of the 13 Tribulation Transcenders or the Scholarly Sage. I did not expect that it would instead be this inconspicuous location.”
Song Shuhang replied, “A large rift valley on the eastern edge of the scholarly faction… Understood. Thank you, Senior, I’ll be heading there right away.”
The Ruler of Shadows said, “No problem. Right, if none of you are going to be eating these ❮Inner Demon Sashimi Slices❯, I’ll finish them.”

“Feel free to do so, Fellow Daoist,” Senior White’s clone said. “We can’t eat them anyway.”
Could the main reason as to why the Ruler of Shadows stayed behind be these ❮Inner Demon Sashimi Slices❯?

Song Shuhang flew on his saber and rushed eastward.
Sixteen, Senior White, and True Monarch White Crane followed right behind him.
Soon enough, they found themselves in a large rift valley.
Sixteen looked around and said, “It feels as if someone cut out this rift valley using a saber or their palm.”
Song Shuhang said, “Perhaps these are the signs of a battle that the Scholarly Sage had with someone. However, who could have fought the Scholarly Sage for him to have left such a powerful obsession behind?”
Senior White asked, “How do you intend to proceed?”
Song Shuhang replied, “Senior White, I would like you to stand by my side to support me. Sister White Dragon and Sixteen, please take care; there may be a giant turtle of disaster that will be appearing shortly.”
“Alright,” Sixteen said.
Song Shuhang took a deep breath and mumbled something at Senior White.
After doing that, he brought out an incomplete head of Senior Skylark from his Inner World.
Fairy Creation held Skylark’s head and followed Song Shuhang’s instructions, heading to the center of the large rift valley.
True Monarch White Crane: “!!!”
Why does Song Shuhang have Senior Skylark’s head in his hands?
1
When Skylark’s head appeared, the temperature in this large rift valley suddenly rose.
Has the obsession been successfully drawn over?
“Sage’s obsession, ignite!” Song Shuhang took this opportunity to activate Shadow Sanctum.
