Shadow Hack

The three peak tribulation passing stage ghosts were the most formidable existences in the yin domains of the disciples of Yin Manor. Although any single one of them could not compare to a true late stage tribulation passing expert, ordinary mid stage tribulation passing experts were not their opponents. Even a late stage tribulation passing expert would perish under the joint attack of the three ghosts.

In a flash, the three ghosts transformed into black claws that went for Li Yunmu.

He frowned slightly and raised his head to look at the three tribulation passing stage ghosts. He then extended his hand and made a grabbing motion in their direction, and the ghosts turned into cyan-colored smoke which dissipated in the air.

Li Yunmu lowered his head after that to observe Jue Qingzi who didn’t have any breath left. His skin had turned ashen, which made it clear that he was beyond saving.

[His true soul has shattered, and it has begun to disperse in all corners of this small world. If you want to rescue him, you must collect the fragments of his true soul and return them to his body. The entire process shouldn’t be very difficult,] the system slowly said in Li Yunmu’s mind.

Li Yunmu couldn’t help but admire Jue Qingzi’s determination. Not anyone would go as far as to shatter their soul.

Or perhaps he himself did not know that burning his immortal soul would raise his cultivation from tribulation passing stage to golden immortal stage, which was the ceiling for cultivation in the Origin World for those who were not natives. And because Jue Qingzi was at golden immortal realm when he made the final strike, his true soul shattered.

The true soul was different from the immortal soul. When the immortal soul was extinguished, it only meant that the person stopped existing in the world.

As long as the true soul remained, the person would be born again, but once the true soul shattered and dispersed throughout the world, the person would never be born again.

“This soul igniting forbidden technique is indeed terrifying. It surprisingly allowed Jue Qingzi to rise from tribulation passing stage to golden immortal stage. Although the damage to oneself is disastrous, the final attack with an all out strength can settle most threats. When the three true immortals encountered the attack of a golden immortal, they were wiped out without being able to resist,” Li Yunmu mumbled without paying any attention to the three disciples of Yin Manor standing on the side.

[There isn’t any such method in the Origin World. If Lakshmi had comprehended such a forbidden method, Asura probably wouldn’t have dared to act.

[If you want to rescue Jue Qingzi, you must act quickly. If the fragments of a true soul spread far away, they will be pulled into the river of time,] the system reminded in a calm tone.

Whether Jue Qingzi lived or died had no relation to the system. Even when the battle of gods happened in the Origin World and many gods perished, it hadn’t shown any emotion. After reaching the true god realm at which it could create a real world with countless living beings, it didn’t feel much sentiments regarding someone’s life or death.

Although after the True God incarnated into the system, it had developed some emotions, but Jue Qingzi was someone from Goumang Real World, so it naturally wouldn’t bother about his life or death.

Li Yunmu was different though. After he came to the night pearl small world, the first group of people he encountered was Jue Qingzi’s group, and they were rather friendly. After collaborating together, they regarded one another as friends, but their friendship was somewhat different from ordinary friendships. Jue Qingzi and others belonged to Goumang Real World, while he was someone from the Origin World, so the relationship between them was foreordained to be based on benefits.

Li Yunmu’s plan was to use yin son of heaven to force Jue Qingzi into collaborating with him, but he hadn’t thought that besides the disciples of Yin Manor, three true immortals would join the chase. So when proceeding southwest from the god ruins, his pace had been unhurried, but he had still covered several thousands of kilometers.

He didn’t wait for Jue Qingzi since he thought that the people of Yin Manor had let them go, so he threw away his intention to collaborate with them. But later, he sensed the presence of Yan Wanqiu and Jue Qingzi’s rainbow sword and thought that something was wrong, so he instantly rushed to the jungle.

But he was still a step too late. Jue Qingzi had used the strike of golden immortal realm and killed the three true immortals.

His immortal soul dissipated, and his true soul shattered.

Li Yunmu erupted with his full strength when he thought of that, unable to continue disguising his presence. He exploded with the presence of an ancient god, and demonic energy surrounded his body and drilled into his body in the form of black threads.

With that, his presence which had originally stabilized at ancient god rose again and reached the quasi master god realm after he entered the Dark State.

When Li Yunmu’s presence descended, the birds and animals in the surrounding mountains and woods quieted down. The originally unpleasant expressions of Yin Manor’s disciples immediately turned deathly pale. The ghosts in their yin domain seemed to have lost intelligence and floated around randomly.

The youth was a quasi great principal golden immortal!

The three disciples of Yin Manor were terrified of the quasi great principal golden immortal standing in front of them, right beside Jue Qingzi’s body, with a frown on his face. They began to think quickly, and the first thought that appeared in their mind was that the quasi great principal golden immortal was an elder of Profound Sword Pavilion. But after some careful thought, they remembered that only those with cultivation lower than golden immortal realm could enter the Origin World.

So when could a quasi great principal golden immortal have entered the small world from Goumang Real World?

The disciples of Yin Manor stared at the youth with their expressions going paler and paler. Their lips slightly trembled as one of them said, “Person from inside!”

Once the three of them realized that, they wanted to use their full strength to run away, but they discovered that their bodies were rooted to the spot while the energy within them had been frozen.

Damn it!

Li Yunmu looked at Jue Qingzi with pitch-black eyes and saw small dots of glimmering light like stars rushing toward the sky from his body. He extended his hand and gathered divine power to pull the dots of light into his hand until a small ball of flickering light was in his hand.

“What should I do after congealing the true soul?” Li Yunmu asked with a frown.

At that moment, he began to wonder. The true soul had been congealed, but the immortal soul had already dissipated, which could not be changed. The new soul born from the true soul would have no relation with who it was before, so Jue Qingzi would remain himself, but he would not be the Jue Qingzi which Li Yunmu had met and befriended.

[Don’t you possess the Heavenly Grand Ritual? Take out two drops of life water from it and feed him. It hasn’t been long since Jue Qingzi’s soul dissipated, so he may still retain his previous life’s memories. If he doesn’t, then he could at least continue living, which is far better than dying,] the system slowly explained.

Li Yunmu sent the true soul into Jue Qingzi’s body and extracted two drops from the Heavenly Grand Ritual in his heavenly world. The instant the life water appeared, the spiritual influence of heaven and earth in the surroundings began to tremble, and the flowers, plants, and trees began to mature crazily.

Once the two drops of life water were dropped on Jue Qingzi’s body, a transformation appeared, and it began to show signs of life. Li Yunmu as well as the three disciples of Yin Manor, who were unable to move, could sense a formidable vitality burst forth from the originally dead body of Jue Qingzi.

A frail soul was born within it.

The fluctuations coming from the soul were extremely sharp, as if it was a sword.

Li Yunmu was slightly startled by the change. He was sure that something was not right, since things went completely differently from when a new soul was born in the body of Ru Shou.

“What do you think, will Jue Qingzi possess the memories of his previous life?”

[His soul mutated. It is not the same immortal soul, so it is likely that he won’t possess the memories of his previous life.]
