Chen Changsheng seemed oblivious to the changes around him, and said calmly, "If what you say is true, I can avenge you, but you must enter the cycle of reincarnation. Do not remain in the mountains to harm people."
"Harm people?! When have I ever harmed anyone?"
Upon hearing this, a look of grievance instantly washed over the young woman's delicate face.
"It's clearly these cultivators who came to kill me. I was only retaliating defensively. I advised everyone to leave, just as I advised you, young master, but they wanted to kill me without rhyme or reason. I only want to continue living!"
Uncontrollable tears streamed down her face as the young woman covered her face and wept bitterly, her voluptuous and delicate body trembling slightly, her tender and charming appearance evoking pity.
Chen Changsheng did not reply, simply standing quietly and waiting.
After a long while, the sobs gradually subsided, and she gently wiped away her tears with her jade-like hand, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, young master, but I don't want to die yet..."
"You are only a soul, and you need a large amount of Yin energy to maintain your current state. Over time, your soul will dissipate," Chen Changsheng said softly.
The young woman was unwilling to face the reality of death. Her reason for existing in this mountain forest was not due to resentment, but rather unresolved obsession.
Her obsession was... immortality!
Chen Changsheng's words caused the young woman's face to pale. She said with a look of entanglement, "Is there no other way? Young master is a cultivator, surely there is a way to let me continue living, or even revive me, right?"
"There is no such thing as resurrection in this world, unless an immortal descends to the mortal realm. Miss Li, accept the reality. You can start over in the next life."
Speaking of resurrection, Chen Changsheng thought of Chen Xizhong from the past.
At that time, he truly believed that there was a way to resurrect the dead, but the reality was cruel.
If there really was a way to resurrect, perhaps only body snatching could barely be considered resurrection, but the prerequisite for body snatching is that the soul is intact and one is a cultivator.
Although Li Linyu's soul was complete, she was only a mortal and did not have the ability to snatch the body of a living person.
"I don't want to!"
Li Linyu clenched her small fists, her tone unwilling, "Would I still be me if I started over? I would lose the memories of this life, I would forget the desires of this life, and I might even encounter a more miserable life!"
"If I am still a mortal in the next life, I would rather exist forever in the mortal realm as a ghost!"
She was unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation. She didn't want to lose her memory, didn't want to lose her current personality.
Li Linyu lowered her head, her beautiful eyes red, and said softly, "Please go back, young master. I don't want to avenge the grudges of my previous life anymore. As long as no more cultivators kill me, I will find a way to survive on my own."
Chen Changsheng sighed and said helplessly, "Where is your corpse? I'll choose a Feng Shui treasure land for you and bury it in the ground."
"I have already buried my body, it's under the house," Li Linyu replied softly.
In an instant, the house blurred and disappeared, and everything around them changed drastically.
The man and the ghost sat on a stone slab in the desolate wilderness, the environment dark and quiet, the cold wind blowing as they looked at each other.
Li Linyu immediately frowned, and before she could ask, a magic seal flew out of Chen Changsheng's hand.
The soil seemed to have consciousness and pushed itself aside, revealing the corpse buried underground.
However, the man and the ghost simultaneously showed astonished expressions, subconsciously looking up at each other, capturing the doubt and incomprehension in each other's eyes.
Li Linyu's corpse was wearing a light purple dress, her figure slender and graceful, her face delicate and pretty, her skin fair and rosy.
If no one told you, who would have thought that this was a corpse that had been buried for several months?
"How... what's going on? I remember I broke my leg and arm. My whole body was covered in blood when I was buried. After such a long time, it must have rotted..."
Li Linyu said blankly.
Chen Changsheng used magic to manipulate the soil and lift the corpse up.
He bent down and reached out to touch Li Linyu's corpse, surprisingly discovering that it still had body temperature!
What surprised him the most was that Li Linyu's corpse had actually shielded his Celestial Eye divine power, making it completely invisible when buried in the soil.
"Miss Li, it seems that the situation is not what we thought. Allow me to think for a moment."
Chen Changsheng held his chin, looking as if he was deep in thought, and directly opened the Cultivation Chat Group, sending what he had seen and heard to the group to ask the knowledgeable experts.
Qing Lian: "This person's body healed automatically?"
Chen Changsheng: "That's right, there are no traces of injury at all, and it feels warm to the touch, as if it's sleeping."
Ma Danqing: "Sounds absurd, but as expected, the world is full of wonders."
Liu Yuemei: "Why don't you tell me the location, and I'll go help you take a look?"
Zhang San: "You're not going to help, but to attack and kill Fellow Daoist Changsheng, right?"
Liu Yuemei: "How annoying, would you die if you didn't expose me?"
Chen Qianqian: "Could it be that some kind of formation is protecting the corpse? Could it be a special physique?"
Zhuo Heng: "If this old man is not mistaken, this should be the Undying Yin Soul Physique!"
Li Si: "Undying Yin Soul Physique? What kind of physique is that?"
Qi Xianjue: "Is it stronger than Luo Xianzi's Immaculate Immortal Body?"
Qiu Xuan: "It shouldn't be. Special physiques are already rare, and it's even rarer to surpass the Immaculate Immortal Body."
The cultivation group became lively, and even some divers who had been silent for decades popped up.
Zhuo Heng sent another message: "This is a special physique where as long as the soul exists, it will never die or be destroyed. When the soul leaves the body, no matter how much damage the body suffers, it will be completely repaired."
Zhuo Heng: "It's just that the soul is the most fragile. Mortals cannot attack the soul, but the True Qi of cultivators can easily obliterate it. Therefore, when this physique first appeared, it was regarded as a useless, chicken-rib physique."
Seeing this, everyone subconsciously nodded.
Immortality sounds impressive at first, but upon closer inspection, the soul will be completely destroyed upon death, which seems to be no different from ordinary cultivators.
It's just that there is an extra body recovery ability...
If you are lucky or have deep hidden means, you can indeed escape a disaster.
But in the end, it's still too useless.
Zhuo Heng's words did not end there. He continued, "Until later, a cultivator with an Undying Yin Soul Physique cultivated Ghost Dao techniques, proving to the world what is meant by immortality!"
As soon as these words came out, the group members were all shocked.
Ghost Dao techniques are techniques specifically for ghosts to cultivate. After cultivating Ghost Dao techniques, some souls remaining in the world can walk the path of Ghost Immortals.
It's just that Ghost Immortals are weaker. They only have souls and no physical body's Qi and blood, and they only use Yin energy instead of True Qi.
Some cultivators who cultivate Yang-based techniques or body refiners can completely counter Ghost Dao cultivators.
Moreover, Ghost Dao itself is also a chicken rib. If a cultivator dies and the soul is still there, they will generally choose to snatch a body or reshape the body. There is no need to cultivate the weakest Ghost Dao.
Therefore, Ghost Dao cultivators are often mortals who did not have cultivation qualifications in their previous lives.
Mortals will directly fall into reincarnation after death. They cannot control their souls.
Only the souls of those who die tragically will remain in the world, and they must also have heaven-defying opportunities to obtain Ghost Dao techniques before they can completely embark on the path of Ghost Immortals.
Otherwise, they are just lonely wild ghosts.
