Although he had already decided to go to the capital, Ye Xuan did not leave immediately. Instead, his silhouette flickered and when he reappeared, he was already at the back of the mountain.
The trees here were sparse, but the weeds were dense. Some of them were a meter tall. Fortunately, after the catastrophe, many animals had died. Otherwise, who knew how many wild beasts were hiding here.
Ye Xuan stood in the air and looked down at a graveyard with some weeds growing on it. He slowly descended.
Seeing that the weeds around the graveyard were shorter than other places, he guessed that they had just regrown. Someone must have come here to pull out the weeds. Ye Xuan guessed that it was probably Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing's family.
After all, in this village, Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing's family were the closest to his family. The other relatives had long stopped visiting. Of course, if it wasn't for Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing, it would have been difficult for his grandfather to even bury him.
With a thought, the weeds within a hundred meters of the graveyard withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, they turned into dust. A gentle breeze blew past and the entire graveyard became extremely clean.
Then, with another thought from Ye Xuan, the ground of the graveyard began to change again. The soft ground quickly condensed and turned into a piece of green and black ground that was as smooth as jade.
This piece of ground was as smooth as jade and bright enough to reflect one's reflection. Not only that, but it was also as hard as titanium. It was a single piece and looked like a valuable piece of jade.
After casting the spell, he renovated the graveyard. Looking at the graveyard that he had transformed using his magic, Ye Xuan frowned. He felt that if people saw this kind of ground, they would probably be greedy. Then, with a thought, he cast an illusion spell and the entire ground became barren again.
After doing this, Ye Xuan walked in front of the tombstone. Then, his eyes flashed with a golden light. He looked through the ground and saw the coffin.
More than ten years had passed and the coffin had already started to decay. The bones inside had also been corroded to the point that only a few bones were left.
Even with Ye Xuan's mental state, his heart couldn't help but tremble when he saw this.
With a flick of his finger, a beam of divine light shot out from his hand and shot into the ground. It passed through the coffin and landed on the bones. Then, a dazzling divine light suddenly burst out from the coffin. The bones actually began to exude vitality. Muscles, blood vessels, meridians, and skin began to grow on them one by one.
Not long after, an old man with a peaceful expression appeared in the coffin like a miracle. If not for the fact that he was not breathing, one would have thought that the old man was just sleeping.
"Grandfather!" Although Ye Xuan knew that this was just a body formed from his own divine power and that his grandfather's soul had long since dissipated, his eyes reddened when he saw the old man lying in the coffin. He bent his knees and knelt down.
He would never forget that it was this old man before him who had found him when he had lost his memories and raised him with all his might. However, when he was about to become an adult, he passed away.
At Ye Xuan's current level, he had long discovered that this world did not have the so-called hell or underworld as in the legends.
Of course, it was also possible that only Earth did not have it.
Souls did exist, but after a person died, the soul would not be guided into the underworld by the so-called Black and White Impermanence.
After a person died, the soul would leave the physical body. However, the soul of an ordinary person was just an ordinary energy wave. Once it left the body, if there was no special protection, it would quickly dissipate and truly be annihilated.
However, if one could find a place that could protect the soul before it dissipated, then it would be able to protect the soul from being destroyed.
Of course, ghosts also existed.
However, not everyone could turn into a ghost. Only those who had suffered great injustice before death or those who had special methods to strengthen their souls could turn into ghosts after death.
Ghosts were also just a kind of energy wave, but their energy wave would be more powerful than the soul energy wave of an ordinary person. This was also the basis for them to be able to affect living people. Only when the energy wave was more powerful could it connect to the spiritual waves of living people, create illusions, and even affect foreign objects.
In this world, after most people died, their soul waves could only exist for a few days before dissipating. Only a small number of people could become real ghosts. However, this small number was also one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand. Moreover, becoming a ghost did not mean that they would not die. If they could not find a way to increase their soul power, they would eventually disappear.
And before Ye Xuan's grandfather died, he was just an ordinary person. Although Ye Xuan hoped that his grandfather could survive in another way, he also knew that this hope was very slim. It was more likely that his grandfather had already disappeared.
On the ground, he respectfully kowtowed to the old man on the ground three times. After calming down, Ye Xuan stood up.
"Grandfather, I'm leaving. Rest in peace, goodbye!" After sighing, Ye Xuan took one last look at the old man on the ground. Then, he stepped into the void, and his figure gradually disappeared.
…
Although it was already late at night, the capital of China could be said to be very lively tonight. Looking at the energy barrier that covered the entire capital that emitted a faint golden light, all the residents living in the capital were in heated discussion.
Over the past two or three years, with the arrival of the catastrophe and the opening of the Divine Gate of the Spirits' Realm, countless immortal cultivators entered the secular world from the Spirits' Realm. The so-called mutants, martial cultivators, and immortal cultivators had long been known by everyone. Even their own physiques had undergone shocking changes, and all of them had become superhumans.
Even so, seeing such a large energy barrier appear in the sky above the capital, everyone was discussing enthusiastically about what was going on.
Compared to the ordinary people who did not know the truth, the faces of the upper echelons of China were all solemn.
The Imperial Capital was brightly lit, and in the depths of the palace, there was a palace surrounded by guards. These guards were either bare-handed, carrying swords on their backs, or wielding spears. All of them had solemn expressions, and every single one of them exuded an astonishing aura, causing the entire void to be filled with an austere aura.
In the palace, there were 11 old men sitting at the moment. Eight of them were the highest leaders of China at this time, while the remaining three were an old Taoist with white hair and a ruddy face, an old man with red hair, and an old man with eyebrows that were several feet long.
"Zhenren Yan, Zhenren Shentu, Zhenren Shangguan, I wonder if the three of you can tell us what happened outside?" An old man with a dignified expression sat on the seat, looking at the three old men opposite him, and asked respectfully.
