At that time, Han E would tear open the letter, which only contained one sentence: Qinghuan Upper Kingdom, blue skies and white clouds, far from strife, why don’t you start a new life here? This token serves as a residency proof... Wishing you all the best.

Strictly speaking, Han E’s shadow puppetry wasn’t particularly advanced, but it was quite revolutionary.

Normal shadow puppetry involves first drawing the divine image, then carving out the shadow puppet, and finally summoning the soul.

The soul, in simpler terms, is actually fragments of cause and effect.

These fragments adhere to the shadow puppet and operate with the power it had in life.

However, Han E’s shadow puppetry was completely the opposite: it first utilized fragments of cause and effect, then applied them to the shadow puppet, and finally drew the divine image on them.

Simply put, if Song Yan carved a "two-headed wolf shadow puppet," what he’d end up with would at most only have the power of a two-headed wolf.

But with Han E’s shadow puppetry, there was no predetermined target. It first gathered cause and effect, then applied it to the shadow, and painted the divine image on it.

The former entirely depended on the quality of the skin.

The latter depended on the strength of cause and effect. As long as your cause and effect can support it, you can paint whatever you want. However, there is an upper limit, which is ——— the Crimson Palace level.

The maximum that Han E could control were Crimson Palace Demon Beasts.

According to Han E, this marvelous technique was passed down from her ancestors, but its power was limited to this level, rendering it a mere trifle for higher-level cultivators. But to Song Yan, its mysteriousness and potential far exceeded "Hundred Forms Divine Control." Because of this, Song Yan thoughtfully arranged an escape route for this female cultivator, as a gesture of reciprocation.

At this moment, Song Yan glanced at the [Magic] section on his panel.

A new line of information appeared: "[Divine Image Red Soul Technique] (not completed)."

Song Yan performed some deduction and mutation, transforming it into "[Divine Image Soul Calming Technique] (Perfection)."

Only one word changed between the two techniques, but the effect was beyond revolutionary.

The former’s limit was the Crimson Palace level, while the latter... as long as the "cause and effect is strong enough" and one can "draw the divine image," you could even create a Celestial Emperor if you wanted to.

Of course, such a powerful forbidden technique came with several limitations.

First, one image per drawing, meaning each divine image can only be drawn once;

Second, the stronger the target, the weaker the divine image becomes if the target is alive; if the target is dead, the divine image strengthens, and you gain the target’s remaining lifespan; 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Third, image rebound, meaning you cannot draw a divine image of a power higher than your own; any forceful attempt would only result in backlash.
