The giant shadow's desire to survive is really strong.

To be precise.

He is really cowardly.

Seeing Li Jing and Jiang Yiyi coming from the sky, his huge body that stood tall on the ground quickly shrank to the height of a normal person, turning into a handsome-looking young man kneeling in the air.

Seeing this change before he even got close to the giant's shadow, Li Jing inadvertently let out a "tsk" sound, dissatisfied with all kinds of desires.

Seeing that killing this inexplicably blown phantom would bring him to the ninth realm. With such a strong desire to survive, it was hard for him to take action again.

If he really wants to blindly take action to upgrade, what is the difference between him and an evil practitioner?

Li Jing has always had principles.

Jiang Yianni looked at the arrogant giant figure who had been so cowardly when he appeared, with a strange look on his face.

When they came to the young man's shadow, Li Jing and Jiang Yini first took a look underground.

A bottomless black pit was revealed beneath the hill that had been flattened by a large sniper cannon.

A simple explosion would not lead to such virtue.

After all, Li Jing's shot was fired flatly, not from top to bottom, so it was normal to create a crater, but it wouldn't be that deep.

Obvious.

The bottomless black pit originally existed, but it was originally buried and obscured by mountains and the ground.

Looking down from a high place, all you can see is darkness.

This pit is obviously not very deep.

They both looked away and looked at each other silently. Li Jing looked at the silhouette of the young man who was kneeling in the air with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes downcast. He became more and more unhappy as he looked at it and spoke calmly.

"So, what are you? A ghost beast?"

When asked, the young man was slightly startled, then raised his eyes and said.

"I don't know what the evil beast of the netherworld is that senior talks about, but I think you should be able to see that I am just a remnant soul now."

Remnant soul?

Li Jing was stunned.

Jiang Yini also frowned.

The concept of soul has always existed in this world.

The concept of remnant souls naturally exists as well.

However, so far, there is no scientific basis at the relevant level.

In immortality, the soul has long been regarded as the synonym for personal soul.

This is a concept unique to Long Yu’s orthodox immortality.

The so-called orthodox immortal way was also called "spiritual cultivation" in the distant past.

On the one hand, the orthodox immortal way focuses on the soul.

On the other hand, according to the ancient records that can be studied, the essence of orthodox immortality from entry to birth to birth to the evolution of the soul is based on the soul.

To put it more simply.

The Yuanying formed by orthodox immortal practitioners is the transformation of the soul. The next level is that the evolved Yuanshen can reach the point where the Yuanshen leaves the body. This level used to be called the spirit-god separation.

It is recorded in ancient books.

For some powerful ancient practitioners, after their physical bodies were damaged or even died, their souls left the body and existed in the world as a remnant soul for a long, long time, until the remaining energy was exhausted.

But to practitioners in this world, it is just a legend.

After reaching the Sixth Level of Divine Transformation, if the soul escapes before death due to great changes, it is indeed possible to survive for a period of time.

They even rely on some rather evil secret methods to seize bodies and occupy the bodies of others to continue to survive.

But there is no such thing as long-term existence in the world as a remnant soul.

The soul without a body can only exist for seven days at most.

Scholars have speculated that this has a certain connection with the "first seven" after death in Longyu civilization.

The shadow of the young man in front of me is definitely not as simple as being dead for just seven days.

Don't talk about anything else.

When Li Jing mentioned the "Netherworld Evil Beast" just now, he looked confused and clearly didn't know such a thing existed.

This person is definitely an old antique who has never been born in the Heavenly Saint Realm.

Maybe he had been dead for who knows how many years before the demon invaded.

he……

Is it really a remnant soul?

Li Jing frowned, and with a thought in his mind, his eyes turned golden.

The eye of true seeing.

open.

Looking at it, he suddenly looked strange.

Extreme Bug's true seeing eye allows him to see through the essence of everything.

Look over at this moment.

The phantom of the young man is not an evil beast from the underworld, but indeed a remnant soul.

To be precise.

He is an incomplete Nine Realm Yuanshen and is in extremely weak condition.

Under the prying eyes of true sight, Li Jing was more conclusive.

If nothing unexpected happens, in no more than three years, the shadow of the young man will disappear and disappear from the world.

Li Jingdang even became interested in the young man's shadow.

Under the prying eyes of the True Sight, the young man's phantom's incomplete soul posture was roughly the same as that of their orthodox practitioners, but there was a trace of pure energy that was neither spiritual energy nor fairy breath in the power of his soul.

It's obvious.

This pure energy is the secret that enables his spirit to remain in the world as a remnant soul for a long time.

What he practices is undoubtedly the orthodox immortal way.

But it is definitely very different from Long Yu's orthodox immortal way, and it is even quite different from the orthodox immortal way that was once spread in Daxia.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Yini caught a glimpse of his eyes turning golden and made a strange noise.

"Li Jing, your eyes..."

"Don't think too much, my eyes are just the changes brought about by the improvement of my cultivation and the transformation of my acquired eye skills."

Li Jing whispered in response.

Jiang Yini was stunned when she heard this.

She knew about Li Jinghui's celestial eye technique.

Heavenly Eye Technique has the ability to grow on its own, and she knows that.

But she didn't know that the Sky Eye Technique would also cause transformation.

Her beautiful eyes flickered twice, and Jiang Yini nodded silently.

Li Jing would not lie to her about this kind of thing.

Let's just think that his Heavenly Eye Technique has transformed...

Someone has reached a height that she can only look up to, and she has no ability to verify it.

There are many eight realms in this world.

But this level is not accessible to just anyone.

Only God knows if, besides Li Jing, there are other people in the Eight Realms who have practiced the Heavenly Eye Technique. Who can she go to for verification?

This way.

Li Jing paid attention to the young man's shadow.

"What is the Qingyuan Immortal Palace you mentioned just now?"

"It's the sect's remains before I was born."

The young man responded honestly, and then said sternly.

"If I remember correctly, it has been a hundred thousand years since the fall of the Immortal Palace."

One hundred thousand years!?
