This was a very small mystic realm. Rather than a mystic realm, it was more like a secret room. There was only a wide platform around them. There was a strange array carved on the platform. Even Yi Qing, who had inherited the Dragon Clan's heritage, had never seen it before.
The few of them landed on the platform. Suddenly, the ground lit up with a red light. Countless arrays of different sizes lit up on the quiet platform. Lonemoon felt his heart skip a beat. His primordial spirit was unstable. It was as if something was about to break out of his body.
"Father Niu!" Shen Ying picked him up from the ground. Yi Qing also felt something was wrong. He did not land on the ground. Instead, he flew into the air.
"How are you?"
Lonemoon panted heavily. He used his immortal Qi to regulate his breathing. He suppressed the feeling that his primordial spirit was about to be pulled out. "The array below can absorb souls." Even immortal souls were no exception!
Everyone was shocked. They hurriedly retreated further away. The array on the platform was fully activated. The entire platform turned red. Suddenly, a series of shrill cries rang out. Many ghostly figures appeared in the array. They seemed to be in extreme pain. They wailed and wailed as they tried to hit the red light that trapped them. Every time they hit the red light, their souls would fade a little. But they did not seem to feel anything. They continued to try to rush out of the array.
"What … what are these?" Everyone present was stunned. The ones in the formation were called wandering souls, but it was obvious that these souls were weaker than wandering souls. Even their shadows were very faint.
"Immortal soul … my immortal soul!" Mother Feng, who was still in a daze, suddenly shouted. She seemed to be agitated. She went crazy again. She turned and tried to fly towards the array.
"Mother Feng!" Zhu Ming was shocked. He immediately used his Yin Qi to block her.
But she became even crazier. She even started to attack Zhu Ming. "Immortal soul … give it back to me! Give it back to me! "
"What's going on?" Lonemoon looked at the array below and the crazed Mother Feng. They had already sealed her divine perception and five senses. Why was she still like this? Could it be that she had something to do with the array below?
"Don't you guys feel that …" Shen Ying suddenly spoke. She pointed at the ghostly figures in the array below. "The shadows down there are all the same?"
"What's the same?" Lonemoon lowered his head to look at the array formation below him. Subconsciously, he took a closer look at the ghostly figures. His eyes widened. "Holy shit!" They really looked the same. Whether it was the figure or the face, there were actually two or three people who looked exactly the same.
"How could this be?" Yi Qing looked confused as well. "Although people are similar, no matter what, they can't be completely the same, unless …" He stopped mid-sentence and sucked in a breath.
The two of them looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "Soul Splitting Array!"
This was a formation that could directly separate a person's three spiritual and seven physical souls. Those people who looked exactly the same were originally separated from the same soul.
"Mas …" Just as Yi Qing was about to speak, Shen Ying had already jumped down and stepped hard on the edge of the platform. With a loud bang, a corner of the platform collapsed.
The Soul Splitting Array immediately dimmed. The hundreds of ghostly figures trapped inside floated out. The three spiritual and seven physical souls began to gather together. The number of ghostly figures decreased by more than half. The shrill cries from before also stopped. Perhaps because their souls were too heavily injured, a few of the ghostly figures were still unconscious. They swayed as they floated towards the exit of the mystic realm.
The few people in the air followed them down.
"These ghostly figures lost some of their souls. Let's hope that the power of reincarnation can restore their souls." Zhu Ming looked at the ghostly figures in the air and sighed. "But I'm afraid they're going to be idiots for a few lifetimes."
"Shortie is not among those ghostly figures." Yi Qing checked all the souls that floated out and heaved a sigh of relief. "It looks like the person who captured Shortie was planning to bring her here to extract her primary soul after forcing her soul out." Lonemoon frowned. He looked at Zhu Ming, who still had a crazed look on her face.
Lonemoon frowned and glanced at the crazed Mother Feng, who was trapped by Zhu Ming.
This array looked like it had been set up for a long time. It looked like Mother Feng's primary soul had been extracted by this array as well. That was why she suddenly went crazy. But why was this array that hid the small mystic realm in her cave abode? And why did she have the token to open the entrance?
When they entered the mystic realm earlier, apart from the divine Yi Qing, Zhu Ming's and Lonemoon's primordial spirits were almost pulled into the array. That proved that ghost immortals could not control this array. This array was definitely not set up by Mother Feng.
"What's that?" Shen Ying pointed to the center of the array.
The few of them paused. Then, they saw a transparent ball in the middle of the array. There seemed to be something trapped inside.
"This looks like a fragment of a remnant soul." Chu Ming took a closer look and formed a hand seal. Immediately, the remnant soul floated out of the ball and formed a small figure. The figure hugged its knees and curled up into a ball. It looked like a child less than two years old, and there was something familiar about its facial features.
"Shortie," Shen Ying suddenly said.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing's hearts tightened. "This is Shortie's remnant soul? Are you sure? "
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded. It was the same as what she had seen when she was sleepwalking.
"That's not right." Lonemoon frowned. "Even if Shortie's soul was split, she should look like an adult. This remnant soul obviously looks like a child. Unless … "
He paused and exchanged a look with Yi Qing. Both of them had the same thought. "This remnant soul was separated from her before she was reincarnated!"
Yi Qing's expression darkened. He seemed to recall something and hurriedly looked around. After a while, he pointed to an array beside him and said, "Master, look, there's a realm-guiding array here. Shortie must have been pulled from the Invincible Heavenly Palace to the Divine Underworld by this remnant soul."
But the realm gate opened by the realm-guiding array was not stable. It was possible that Shortie had not been transported directly into this array.
"We have to find her quickly." Lonemoon's expression darkened. He was getting more and more anxious. From the looks of it, the person who had captured Shortie was not just looking for a random immortal soul. He was plotting to get his hands on Shortie's soul.
"Everyone …" Zhu Ming suggested. "Since this remnant soul belongs to the person you are looking for, and the souls are connected to each other, why don't we use the connection between the remnant soul and the main body and use the water element technique to find out her current location?"
The few of them paused. That's right! They had almost forgotten about this technique.
Although the remnant soul could not compare to one of the three souls and seven spirits, and it would slowly dissipate over time, it was still one with the main body. Whatever the main body saw, the remnant soul could also sense. If they used the water element technique, they would be able to see Shortie's current location.
