The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Lady Yu’s Fragmented Soul

As the stream of light darted out, the dreamy misty Lu Li light also completely faded into oblivion!

According to Shen Mo, the evil spirits, being "a residual resentment of the will of heaven and earth from the Withering Realm," are hard to truly perish; the evil spirits of Zuoli Country likely moved elsewhere or temporarily hid away, and might reemerge before long.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, this stream of light is..."

The silver-haired child, along with the other two, surrounded with a puzzled look. At the moment the stream of light flew out, their five senses faintly perceived something, now they merely wished to confirm with Shen Mo.

"It’s a remnant soul of Fellow Daoist Yu!" Shen Mo spoke with a complicated expression and then opened his palm.

In his palm, a dim and blurred phantom floated;

Though the appearance was indistinguishable, Shen Mo could recognize it by the familiar aura fluctuation as Lady Yu’s soul.

However, a complete soul consists of three souls and seven spirits, and Lady Yu was left with only a fetal light soul!

Shen Mo didn’t know if the evil spirit of Zuoli Country actually existed in the history of the Artificial Realm, but one thing was confirmed, before this world withered away completely, there indeed lived a female cultivator called "Lady Yu," and the remnant soul in his hand was solid evidence!

The true "Lady Yu" perished back when the Artificial Realm withered, leaving behind only a lingering soul, relying on the evil spirit as a carrier, she descended into the Universal Realm.

Only in the evil spirit’s realm could she appear to have both soul and body like a living person!

Once she broke free from the evil spirit’s captivity, after "Ascension" to the Immortal Realm, she would immediately revert to her true form...

Shen Mo sighed, took out the Soul Nurturing Bottle, and carefully stored Lady Yu’s remnant soul, then crushed a high-class Soul Nurturing Pill and sprinkled it within.

With his current cultivation level, he was incapable of helping her gather a complete soul and body, only to think of ways later to hopefully use celestial techniques to aid her in re-embarking on the path of cultivation!

Were it someone else’s remnant soul, Shen Mo would not pay much attention, letting it dissipate into the world.

But, Lady Yu was different.

They managed to leave the evil spirit’s realm smoothly, thanks to Lady Yu, and Shen Mo and the other three owed her a tremendous favor!

Especially for Shen Mo, who already knew that Zuoli Country was a "mirage," and also induced Lady Yu to refine the forbidden land "Ascension" to the Immortal Realm, forming an indelible cause and effect between them.

Even though Lady Yu’s remnant soul broke away from the illusion, returning to the real world, Shen Mo was not sure if this result aligned with her heart’s desire, after all, even in the illusion, she "lived" well, standing at the peak of the Divine Bridge Realm, whereas in reality, she only had a remnant soul left.

If left unattended, her remnant soul would soon vanish into thin air... With such a tragic outcome, how could Shen Mo bear it?

In the future, it might even transform into a heart demon on his path of cultivation, bringing dust and shadow to his Path Heart!

After storing away Lady Yu’s remnant soul, Shen Mo’s gaze fell on the equally complex expression of the silver-haired child, he quietly spoke, "Fellow Daoist Fulong had reincarnated before, do you happen to have any Secret Techniques, Skills, Exotic Treasures, or extraordinary means that could help Fellow Daoist Yu reincarnate and continue on the immortal path?"

The silver-haired child, initially filled with sighs and emotions, upon hearing Shen Mo’s inquiry, immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, pledging, "I possess no Secret Techniques or Exotic Treasures! My reincarnation in the Immortal Realm and return to the cultivation path relied entirely on an enormous stroke of luck."

"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Yu currently lacks all seven spirits, and of the three souls, only one remains."

"In such a state, how can she reincarnate smoothly? At the very least, the other two souls need to be mended first. Then, we might implore a True Immortal to assist, perhaps allowing her to reincarnate in the human realm of the Immortal Realm..."

Shen Mo remained silent, quietly noting the silver-haired child’s words.

Subsequently, the silver-haired child, Qin Zhen, and Kang Haoxiu promised that during future explorations of the True Immortal’s cave mansion, if they acquired spiritual items beneficial to the soul, they would entrust them to Shen Mo to nourish Lady Yu’s remnant soul, as gratitude for her help in escaping danger.

"Now that the evil spirit has disappeared, let’s continue on our way!" Shen Mo secured the Soul Nurturing Bottle in the Sword Zone, glancing towards the deeper parts of the Immortal Mansion Dungeon.

The other three answered in unison, ascending into light swiftly.

To be safe, they still avoided the area where the evil spirit appeared, detouring around a large distance from the path.

...

Along the way, the group discovered many rare spiritual medicines and precious metal mineral deposits, but these cultivation resources still exuded a lingering aura of decay and death, rendering them useless in refining elixirs or crafting magic artifacts.

Even the uncommon materials from the slain demons and monsters were likewise worthless, completely devoid of any practical value!

No wonder the silver-haired child’s primary goal is to reclaim the remains and relics of his past life and a few fellow Immortal Masters from the Formless Realm, without contemplating harvesting any cultivation resources from the Immortal Mansion Dungeon.

That being said, although this Dungeon was formed by the descent of a True Immortal’s cave paradise into the mortal world, it’s ultimately not a complete world, nor is it like the Jade Pool Dungeon, a Dungeon with uniquely special properties, thus top-tier resources beneficial to Divine Bridge Realm Immortal Masters aren’t particularly plentiful!

Even if the spiritual items encountered along the way did not contain the aura of decay and death, the resources harvested by Shen Mo and the group would still be scant.

Shen Mo was curious about the celestial treasures in the True Immortal’s cave mansion, and subtly asked the silver-haired child how he and Immortal Master Cizi, among others, determined the presence of treasures deeper within the cave mansion, and what those treasures might be?

However, he was brushed off by the silver-haired child, who used the fate of his past life as a warning against any adventurous foray.

This left Shen Mo somewhat dissatisfied, suspecting that the silver-haired child intended to explore the treasures only after cultivating to the Formless Realm himself!

"Senior Fulong, we’ve been traveling for so long, why haven’t we reached the site where you fell in your past life?" After facing several minor and major dangers, following the path for over a month, Longyuan Immortal Master Kang Haoxiu finally grew impatient, asking aloud.

Because his ancestor Immortal Master Cizi was a friend of Fulong Immortal Master, Kang Haoxiu often treated the silver-haired child with great respect, considering himself a junior.

But during their time in the Immortal Mansion Dungeon, encountering nothing but numerous challenges and dangers without gaining any benefits, he couldn’t help but harbor some complaints in his heart, doubting whether the silver-haired child misremembered the cause and location of his own fall at reincarnation!

"Young fellow, your temperament isn’t as steady as Fellow Daoist Ciji. No need to rush, we’re almost there! If nothing blocks our way, a three-day flight should get us there!" The silver-haired child spoke with a senior’s demeanor, aging yet calm.

This time, the silver-haired child’s words proved reliable.

Three days later, Shen Mo and the group witnessed ahead of them a rare spectacle, seldom seen even in the Immortal Realm!
