The female major brought Li Yao to the depths of the military camp.
Along the way, they encountered many soldiers. All of them were looking at Li Yao with a cold gaze, as if he was a monster.
Li Yao felt his hair stand on end from the way everyone was looking at him. He could not help but ask the female major, "Why are they looking at me like that?"
The female major was silent for a moment before she said, "You went berserk on the platform and beat up a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator. Even a dozen soldiers were unable to pull you away. At that time, we thought that you were possessed by a demon and almost killed you. After a thorough examination, we discovered that you were 100% pure human. It was just that your spirit root had awakened. To be honest, I have seen many cultivators awaken their spirit root, but this is the first time I have seen one as exaggerated as yours."
Li Yao was speechless. He smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
The female major swept a glance at him and continued, "However, after understanding the cause and effect, many people in the army think that you have guts and are a real man!"
After saying this, the female major stopped in front of a heavily guarded tent. She pointed inside and said, "Go in, he is inside."
Li Yao looked around.
This black tent was located at the center of the temporary military camp. It was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. Beside it stood several men in casual clothes with extraordinary bearings.
Although he did not dare to release his spirit threads to probe, Li Yao could still feel that they were different from the others. They should be cultivators with exquisite cultivation.
Moreover, there was a faint defensive array around the tent. Li Yao could not see through the array at all.
With such tight security, who was the "he" inside?
Li Yao's curiosity was piqued. He opened the curtain and bowed as he walked into the tent.
The tent was filled with a translucent white fog. In the fog, there were seven or eight people wearing completely sealed white surgical gowns. Doctors wearing sterile masks surrounded an operating table and nervously operated.
In front of the operating table, there were four mechanical arms that were vibrating with incomparable agility.
As soon as Li Yao came in. The white mist rushed towards him and disinfected him.
Li Yao looked at the operating table carefully, only to see that what was lying on it was not a human being, but a relatively short artificial body. Its limbs and body were all made of metal, with hundreds of crystals embedded in the key parts. The intricate spirit crystal threads spread between his limbs and bones, flickering with a strange light.
A small light beam was embedded in the head of the artificial body. The skull made of tungsten steel was opened, and the four mechanical arms quickly inserted dozens of crystal chips into the 'brain'. Then, he carefully closed the "skull cap" and tightened the screw.
"Spiritual energy refilling complete. Prepare to activate!"
A calm and emotionless voice came from under a doctor's white mask.
"Beep beep! Self-examination complete! "
"Beep beep! The synchronization rate between the soul and the chip is 37% … 58% … 81%. The standard for awakening has been reached! "
"Beep beep! The crystal circuit cycle of the artificial body is normal. Body control authorization is being unlocked … Unlocking complete! "
As all the crystals on the body suddenly glittered, the artificial body on the operating table slowly sat up. It shook its metal head in confusion.
A snowflake first appeared on the light beam embedded in the face, which quickly condensed into an ordinary human face.
It was Ding Yin!
"Student Li Yao, how are you? We meet again. "
Ding Yin slightly smiled, but his voice was as calm and emotionless as the doctor's, without any human emotions.
He slightly frowned and said, "Activate the human emotion simulation system. Hey, hey. Student Li Yao, can I speak normally now? "
Li Yao was completely dumbfounded. He stammered, "It's … it's normal now. Teacher Ding … you didn't die? "
"I died!"
Ding Yin laughed, "Seven low-level cultivators, one Taiyi Lightning Railgun, rushed towards millions of demon beasts … how could I not die? But I was lucky and found a wisp of my remnant soul. I had no choice but to become a 'ghost cultivator'. "
"Ghost cultivator?"
Only now did Li Yao remember that there was such an extremely special existence among the cultivators.
The so-called ghost cultivator, as the name implied, was a cultivator whose body was destroyed after death, leaving behind only a wisp of remnant soul. Through various opportunities and coincidences, the soul did not disperse and once again set foot on the road of cultivation!
In the ancient cultivation world of 40000 years ago, the appearance of ghost cultivators was very rare. Moreover, there were many restrictions to the cultivation of the soul. In order to ensure that the soul did not disperse, they often had to devour the souls of the living, absorb the blood essence of the living, take lives, and owe countless blood debts.
Therefore, in the ancient cultivation world, ghost cultivators did not have a good reputation and were similar to those of the evil path.
However, in the cultivation world of 40000 years, civilization was advanced. As long as the soul was strong enough, it could be digitized and sealed into a crystal chip. Together with the artificial body, one would not be afraid of the sun and could travel in the daytime, setting foot on the brand new road of ghost cultivators.
Of course, human beings and ghosts were different from each other. The path of the spectral Cultivators was thousands of times more dangerous than the path of the general Cultivators. Artificial bodies were not fleshly bodies after all. A random outburst of sunspots could possibly blow up a ghost.
Most of the ghost cultivators could not live forever. After a few hundred years, their soul would still age, scatter, and completely die.
However, it was better than vanishing into thin air right now!
"Fellow Daoist Ding, welcome to the ranks of ghost cultivators. Although humans and ghosts are different and can no longer be reborn, the world of ghost cultivators is still very interesting. Let us explore it together!"
All the doctors in the surroundings applauded enthusiastically, letting out the sound of metal clashing as if their palms were made of metal.
One by one, the doctors pulled off their masks, revealing eight gloomy and terrifying metal skeletal faces in front of Li Yao.
Li Yao almost cried out — these eight doctors were all ghost cultivators!
He was in the same tent as the nine dead ghosts.
Ding Yin smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Fellow Daoists, you're wrong. This young man is very nice. You can't scare him like this."
A particularly tall spectral Cultivator chuckled gloomily. He extended his five metal claws and squeezed Li Yao's shoulder softly, before he said gloomily, "Let's go.
He said with a sinister voice, "We heard that this young man is very brave. He stood up for your Fellow Daoist Ding and beat the crap out of an opponent two levels higher than him. That's why we wanted to test him! This young man is not bad. He didn't piss himself. He is indeed a real man! "
The ghost cultivators laughed together in a strange manner. It turned out that they could also express their emotions like normal people. What happened just now was just a disguise.
Li Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry. The mysterious and bizarre image of 'ghost cultivators' collapsed in an instant. This group of people — no, this group of ghosts was too naughty!
Ding Yin pressed his hands down, stopping the ghosts from laughing sinisterly. He somewhat sluggishly walked down from the operating table and staggered two steps forward. He muttered to himself, "It feels weird. It's like there's a layer of membrane covering my body. It's completely different from the past."
"Of course. You were a human in the past, but now you are a ghost. In the past, no matter how high your cultivation was, you had to start from scratch to become a ghost cultivator. After we're done here, we'll have to invite Fellow Daoist Ding to stay in the 'Hero's Spirit Tower' for a year and a half to learn how to be a good ghost. Only then can you truly integrate into the world of ghost cultivators, "the tall ghost cultivator said.
Ding Yin sighed and said with some melancholy, "When I left home, I was still a person of flesh and blood. Now, I've become a cold ghost. I really don't know how to explain it to my wife and children when I return home! "
The tall ghost cultivator said, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Ding. After the inspection is over and it is confirmed that no demons have infiltrated this train. After the passengers have safely arrived at their destination, this incident will be made public. You will become the heroes of the Federation. Your families will definitely be proud. "
Ding Yin nodded somewhat blankly. He quickly calmed himself down and turned around. "Student Li Yao, let's talk about it slowly. Right now, there's an urgent matter that requires your help. "
"Please speak, Teacher Ding. I'll do my best! "
Ding Yin's image in Li Yao's heart was exceptionally high. If there was anything that needed his help, of course he would help.
Ding Yin stiffly took a step forward and brought Li Yao out of the tent.
Outside the tent, there was a large, thick, and black military shuttle. It had been specially modified to have something like a megaphone installed on its butt. A bearded veteran sat in the driver's seat. Beside him sat several soldiers. All of them were wearing a special skull insignia on their chests. Below the insignia were four small words:
"Souls Return!"
"This is the Union Army's most special 'Soul Search Squad'. They are responsible for searching for remnant souls on the battlefield. They just searched once and found me. Now, they want to conduct a second search to see if they can find other remnant souls."
Ding Yin explained while pulling Li Yao onto the military shuttle.
"What can I do to help?"
Li Yao inspected the military shuttle. He found that although the military shuttle looked ragged, its magical equipment components were well maintained. There wouldn't be any problems for the time being. There was no need for him to be of use.
Ding Yin said, "When a person dies and their soul disperses, they will have a special reaction to the last person they saw. You are the last person we saw. Your appearance will stimulate the soul and produce special waves. The Soul Search Squad will be able to detect it."
"I see. Then let's go!" Li Yao jumped onto the flying shuttle.
Searching for remnant souls was a race against time. If the sun was high up in the sky and the sunlight shone fiercely, the soul would dissipate. Then, even the Great Golden Immortals wouldn't be able to save them.
The military shuttle carried the Soul Search Squad, plus Li Yao, Ding Yin, and the tall ghost cultivator "Tang Long". They searched along the crystal rail and soon arrived at the battlefield of last night's battle.
Only after arriving here did Li Yao realize how dangerous it was last night.
Along the crystal rail, the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers was densely covered with charred corpses. It was pitch black.
The military shuttle flew close to the ground. The powerful airflow from the power array glyphs blew away the charred corpses on the ground, raising clouds of black smoke.
"Bo! Bo! Bo! "
A monotonous sound came from the loudspeaker on the rear of the military shuttle and spread in all directions.
A member of the Soul Search Squad stared at the hologram below the loudspeaker and probed anxiously.
Li Yao was a little curious. He looked around and tried to close his eyes. He extended his spirit threads from his spirit root to sense the outside world.
"Wow, so many light spots!"
Li Yao was shocked. He found that the entire world was filled with blood-red light spots. They had practically gathered into a boundless ocean of light. The blood-red light spots didn't need him to absorb them at all. They just rushed into his spirit root.
However, after absorbing these light spots, he had a vague feeling of discomfort. His head was dizzy and a cold killing intent was born in his heart. (To be continued)
