Chapter 166: #166 - Chapter 166: Soul of the Destiny, Absolute Loyalty

To put it simply, the Ghost Dao is the lowest of the low in the cultivation world, and no cultivator would ever choose it.

Furthermore, the requirements for ordinary people without aptitude to embark on the Ghost Dao are extremely harsh. Therefore, Ghost cultivators are rarely seen in the cultivation world, and even if they exist, they are cannon fodder.

For ordinary people without aptitude, defying fate is almost impossible…

Over time, the Ghost Immortal path became neglected, and everyone even forgot that Ghost cultivators existed.

Chen Changsheng eagerly asked, "Elder Zhuo, do you mean that only by cultivating the Ghost Dao can the Undying Soul Body demonstrate its true terror?"

Zhuo Heng replied, "That's right. The Undying Soul Body is extremely special. When the soul leaves the body, it's equivalent to complete death, so it can cultivate Ghost Dao techniques."

"During the period when the soul is separated from the body, the physical body will automatically repair all injuries and destroy all surrounding Daos."

Zhuo Heng: "Ghost Dao techniques are used to enhance the soul's ability to survive. As long as the soul remains, returning it to the body after the physical body recovers is equivalent to being immortal."

Zhuo Heng: "This situation is a first."

"The senior who developed the Undying Soul Body had cultivation aptitude themselves. It was only after they died during an experience that they discovered they possessed the Undying Soul Body, so it can't be used as a reference."

Zhuo Heng: "Soul cultivation doesn't require aptitude. Even a mortal body can cultivate the Ghost Dao."

"However, the soul realm and the physical body realm are separate. The realms don't affect each other. The only connection is divine sense."

Zhuo Heng: "From this, we can deduce that a Ghost cultivator without spiritual roots can master divine sense and Yin energy after returning the soul, but the body will still be a mortal body. The most crucial thing is the lifespan issue!"

"That senior lost their physical body in the end because their body's lifespan was exhausted. As for where their soul went or whether it still exists in the world, we don't know."

A mighty cultivator who created a new system and had the potential to become an immortal actually lost their physical body due to the end of their lifespan. It's truly laughable.

Zhuo Heng: "I have a few Ghost cultivation techniques here that I can give you. Whether you want her to cultivate them is up to you."

Zhuo Heng immediately sent a red envelope. His words caused the excitement in the cultivation chat group to surge.

Everyone was astonished and amazed. There was actually such a powerful special physique in the world, especially the Undying Soul Body with both a strong physical body and a strong soul cultivation. It was simply invincible.

Just imagine, when you finally manage to kill the opponent, their soul leaves their body and fights you again in soul form for three hundred rounds.

Looking back, their physical body has already recovered to its peak, and after returning the soul, they continue to fight you for another three hundred rounds in physical form…

It's simply too outrageous!

After the group members' deliberation and summary, there are only two ways to kill an Undying Soul Body.

Either your cultivation completely overwhelms the opponent, instantly killing them along with their soul, or your strength is stronger than the opponent's soul, destroying their soul before they return to the body.

Otherwise, once the cycle starts, you'll be the one who dies!

As for Li Linyu, whom Chen Changsheng encountered, her strength is much weaker than the described Undying Soul Body because she doesn't have cultivation aptitude, and her physical body will always be that of a mortal.

Especially in terms of lifespan, no matter how high her soul cultivates, the limit of a mortal's lifespan is just over a hundred years, making it difficult to achieve great success.

Thinking of this, the group members directly lost interest in Li Linyu, but the discussion about the Undying Soul Body didn't stop.

Looking at the jade slip containing the cultivation technique in his hand, Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment.

Then, he looked up at the anxiously waiting Li Linyu and said calmly, "I understand the situation now. I have good news for you. You're not actually dead!"

"R... Really?!"

Li Linyu couldn't help but reveal ecstasy, excitedly grabbing Chen Changsheng's hand, but she staggered back, scalded by the masculine true energy and blood energy, with wisps of green smoke rising from her fair jade hand.

As the Yin wind swept past, Li Linyu's hand returned to normal, and she breathed a sigh of relief, still in shock.

It also made her realize that the Young Master Chen in front of her was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

What scalded her just now was not only the extremely Yang and extremely strong true energy but also the scalding blood energy!

"When a mortal's soul leaves the body, it directly enters reincarnation, but because you became a wandering ghost here due to obsession, and because you have a special physique, you have a chance to return to your body…"

Chen Changsheng explained the situation of the Undying Soul Body to Li Linyu in simple terms.

"I happen to have a Ghost cultivation technique now. After cultivating it, you can return to your physical body and be reborn."

Chen Changsheng paused and said indifferently, "But there's no free lunch in the world. I need you to offer your natal soul…"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Linyu suddenly knelt on both knees and kowtowed to him, "This concubine is willing to follow you, Young Master. Please take me in!"

Ah, this…

The conditions hadn't even been fully stated yet, and Li Linyu directly disrupted Chen Changsheng's train of thought, leaving him speechless.

It seems he ultimately underestimated Li Linyu's obsession with longevity.

This was the closest she had ever been to the path of longevity, perhaps the only opportunity in her life. How could she not seize it?

"Since you've made a decision, don't regret it. It will be a little painful next. Please bear with it."

Chen Changsheng pointed a single finger on Li Linyu's forehead.

A soul-tearing pain exploded in Li Linyu's mind!

Her delicate body trembled, and a look of pain appeared on her face, but she endured it without uttering a sound.

When part of her soul was torn away, her whole body directly collapsed weakly on the ground, constantly panting. The grand scale was like undulating mountains, coupled with a charming and weak pitiful expression, making it difficult for people to look away.

"That's enough. This is the Ghost Dao technique. Rest well before cultivating it. Don't be too anxious."

Chen Changsheng placed the jade slip next to Li Linyu. The wisp of soul floating in front of him quickly merged into his brow.

The best way to kill an Undying Soul Body is to target the soul. Mastering Li Linyu's natal soul is equivalent to controlling her life and death.

All of Li Linyu's memories flooded into his mind. Her experiences in Stone Town were just as she said, without a trace of fabrication.

The reason why Chen Changsheng wanted to take in Li Linyu was because he valued her special physique.

Although lifespan was her fatal flaw, it was not a defect at all for Chen Changsheng, who possessed the Longevity System.

Chen Changsheng, in the Golden Core stage, had three co-longevity slots. One was given to Miaomiao, and the other two were temporarily idle.

He planned to give the second slot to Li Linyu.

The premise was that she was absolutely loyal and of qualified character.

Therefore, he needed Li Linyu's natal soul, which would allow him to control Li Linyu's life and death and read her memories.

If the story she told earlier was fabricated, Chen Changsheng would not hesitate to kill her. He didn't need such a woman full of lies.

Fortunately, Li Linyu didn't lie. The real liar was the town chief of Stone Town!
