As everyone knows, souls cannot leave the body for long periods of time. Once the limit is exceeded, the soul will be destroyed by the wind.
Ling Xian, for example, with his current level of training, he can at most last a month. Of course, this is under the condition that he doesn't have any external help.
If his soul enters the Painting of the Nine Immortals, then he can last a few years. But only a few years.
The golden ship has existed for at least a thousand years. This means the soul before him has existed for at least a thousand years. How unbelievable was this?
How powerful was this soul?
Though the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals have existed for at least 30,000 years, they were souls of immortals. They were fundamentally different. On top of that, the Painting of the Nine Immortals was meant to be inhabited by souls. Plus, there were treasures like the Mount of the Healing Soul. Naturally, it could coexist with the world.
"Could it be … he was a real immortal when he was alive?"
Thinking of this possibility, Ling Xian's heart was in turmoil. Though this was merely a guess, it was a fact that he has existed for thousands of years.
This meant the soul before him was extremely powerful. Though he wasn't a real immortal, he wasn't far off!
Just as he was in shock, the soul floated over. Without hesitation, he didn't investigate the golden ship.
Just as Ling Xian predicted, his long success made him very confident and he didn't think he would make a mistake.
This made Ling Xian chuckle to himself. The Disorder Conquering Fists were ready to attack the soul.
The situation was very clear. Whether it was for the truth or for the innocent lives that were killed, he cannot coexist with the soul.
Therefore, there was no need for him to be polite.
"I smell something delicious. It seems like my prey is not bad."
The ball of light slowly floated towards the golden ship. His expression could not be seen, but it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Therefore, he wasn't at all alarmed and he didn't investigate. Just like that, he boarded the giant ship.
What welcomed him was an unparalleled fist that shined through the ages.
Against the unpredictable soul, Ling Xian made his move. His Qi shocked 3,000 miles and all nine levels of heaven.
HOMMMM!
The sea shook and waves shot into the sky. The soul was immediately injured and cracks appeared on his protective barrier.
"Dammit, who is it?!"
The soul was furious. Rays of light began to expand. Though they appeared soft, they were indestructible and blocked out the punch.
At the same time, all the fog on the ship disappeared, revealing Ling Xian and the young girl.
This made the soul body tremble even more, and it shouted angrily, "Impossible! How could anyone still be alive?! "
"Nothing is impossible. The truth is right in front of you. Could it be that your heart is so weak that you don't dare to face reality?"
Ling Xian's expression was calm. Even though he regretted that his punch didn't severely injure the soul, to be able to gain the upper hand was already very rare.
After all, spirit bodies were unfathomable existences.
"Damn it!"
The spirit body was burning with rage, and it roared, "How can you resist the array formation and the Soul Guiding Stone?"
"Why not?"
Ling Xian's expression remained calm, "It's merely a heavenly array. If I wasn't afraid of alerting the enemy, do you think I can't break it?"
As he spoke, he stomped his foot on the deck. Instantly, the mysterious array was forced out by him.
Then, he waved his hand and lines of runes surged into the array. In a few breaths' time, the array was completely destroyed.
At the same time, it also destroyed the converted souls stored in the formation.
This caused the soul body to be stunned.
Though he couldn't see his expression clearly, it was easy to imagine that he was in disbelief.
Remember that he had used this array and the golden ship to devour countless lives' souls. This naturally gave him the belief that he would never lose. Yet before his eyes, the array was so easily destroyed by Ling Xian. How could he accept this?
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that Ling Xian destroyed the converted souls.
Remember that the reason why he was able to exist for so long was because he relied on devouring souls to nourish himself. Yet now, he was destroyed by Ling Xian. Who could accept this?
Sadly, reality was reality. No matter how hard it was to accept, it was undeniable!
"Accept reality and accept your punishment." Ling Xian spoke coldly. His killer's intent shot through the cloud and rolled out in all directions.
"Punishment? Haha, how laughable. You think you can punish me? "
The soul body laughed out loud as he regained his composure. What replaced it was sarcasm, killer's intent, and greed.
The reason why he fell into a daze just now was because the series of events was far too shocking. Now that he had calmed down, he immediately saw through Ling Xian.
Not only did he see through his cultivation level, he also sensed the ancient majestic blood inside him!
"Why can't I?"
Ling Xian's expression turned cold, "I know you are capable and could be a powerhouse of the immortal level. But right now, you only have a soul."
"Even if I only have a soul left, I am more than enough to kill you."
The spirit body flew into a rage and said, "Despicable ant, how dare you destroy my array formation and destroy my nourishment. I will make you wish you were dead!"
"Nourishment?"
Noticing this keyword, Ling Xian's mind spun and he realized, "So you are relying on devouring souls to maintain your life."
"You sure are smart. Sadly, you have made a fatal mistake."
The soul snickered, "Since you know this is a trap, you should've left instead of coming here. Staying here will only lead you to eternal damnation."
"That may not be the case."
Ling Xian's eyes shot out electricity and his white robe fluttered in the wind. Like a warrior, he looked down on the world.
"Hehe, you sure are lucky."
The soul body stared at Ling Xian with a heated gaze, "A soul at the peak of the Harmonious Path is fine, but you also have ancient majestic blood. You alone are worth more than all the souls I've devoured in thousands of years!"
At those words, Ling Xian frowned. He didn't think the soul body would be able to see through his cultivation level and that he had ancient majestic blood.
"Hahaha, great, this is great!"
The soul laughed out loud and stared greedily at Ling Xian as if he was looking at a rare treasure. After a few seconds, his greed intensified. At the same time, he was a little shaken.
"Inner Eyes, five undefeatable realms, two Immortal Bones, majestic blood …"
The soul body stared deadly at Ling Xian and mumbled, "Perfect, far too perfect. This is the body that suits me the best!"
At those words, he went completely insane and laughed into the sky, "Hahaha, I have waited for thousands of years. Finally, a perfect body has arrived!"
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart turned cold and his body felt like it had fallen into an icy hell.
Ever since he began his cultivation journey, he had encountered many seniors. But even the Second Mystery, who was at the pinnacle of prediction, could not see through him.
Yet the soul before him had seen through everything other than the Painting of the Nine Immortals. Why wouldn't he feel cold?
"This is perfect. Young man, I have to thank you."
The soul laughed out loud, "Thank you for sending yourself to me and giving me the chance to see the light of day again!"
Hearing this, Ling Xian knew that this person was planning on possessing him. His expression turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "You want to possess me? You need to have the ability to do so! "
"Haha, if you were at the seventh level, I would've left without a second word. But you are merely at the sixth level!"
The soul laughed wildly. His Qi was beginning to show and shook up the universe.
