Chapter 652 Remnant Soul
Once inside, it's impossible to fly, which means this forest has forbidden boundaries.
All these phenomena indicate that Mu Jinning's guess is the most likely explanation.
"Xiao Yan first obtained a blood coffin, and according to Xiao Qingtian, it was also an item from the underworld."
"The Life and Death Stele that he later obtained, according to those seniors, was once the treasure that guarded the underworld."
"He just said he sensed a summons; perhaps this really is related to the underworld?"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Ran asked softly again, "Is there some connection between Xiao Yan and the Underworld?"
It's all such a coincidence.
Mu Jinning pursed her lips before saying, "I actually suspect that your father might be a big shot in the underworld."
Zhong Ran: ...
He turned to look at her and smiled gently: "Not only Xiao Yan, you can also cultivate the death energy here, can't you?"
Zhong Ran muttered, "It's because I accidentally activated the Chaos Divine Body."
"Then tell me, what kind of father would it take to give birth to two children with divine bodies?"
Zhong Ran: ...
After a long pause, she said, "Back in the Burial Ground of Gods in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, the senior brother of the Bai family once said that I might be a descendant of the Bai family."
"And back when I first arrived on the Phoenix Continent, before I found you, I discovered a girl in the city who looked somewhat similar to Xiao Yan; the two seemed more like siblings."
The girl was about the same age as them, and her talent was also quite good. Her name was Bai Yu.
If their father was a member of the reclusive Bai family, then he had no connection with the underworld.
But if they really are from the Bai family, in Mu Jinning's words, what kind of person could give birth to two children with divine bodies?
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's take it one step at a time."
She gave up guessing; the bone beasts in front of her were already scattered all over the ground.
Zhong Ran walked over and found that the bones were gray and decayed, indicating that they had been there for quite some time.
"After absorbing all the death energy in the bones, these bones will be no different from ordinary bones, and because of the long time that has passed, they may soon weather away."
She glanced at him a couple more times before asking Zhong Yan, "Xiao Yan, how are you feeling?"
Zhong Yan shook his head: "It's too meager, it doesn't make any difference."
Mu Jinning's lips twitched: "Other cultivators would only be courting death if they came in, but you can still cultivate, so be satisfied."
Zhong Yan grinned and said, "Next, shall we specifically seek out these bone beasts and the remnant souls on the trees to devour?"
After those remnant souls were devoured, it greatly benefited their own soul power.
The stronger one's soul power, the more powerful the clones that are cultivated later will become.
However, it is rare to find soul power to devour outside, so we must make the most of this rare opportunity.
He said to Ah Sheng with a wicked grin, "Ah Sheng, why don't you try catching and eating those remnant souls? It might do you a great benefit."
Ah Sheng asked, puzzled, "What remnant soul? Where is it? Can it be fed?"
"Hehe, yes, definitely."
Ah Sheng's growth was different from all of theirs. They didn't know whether the remnant soul was really good for him. They could only let him try it first.
"I'll catch one for you in a bit." Zhong Yan walked ahead first: "You follow me."
This time, he was able to absorb the death energy within, and walking around felt as casual as strolling through his own backyard.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning followed behind them, looking around as they walked.
None of the four noticed that after they left, the bones that had just been scattered on the ground, which they thought would soon turn to ash, all flew up and flew into the depths of the forest.
Suddenly, several branches on the tree in front of them started to move and curled towards Zhong Yan and A Sheng.
Ah Sheng was already unhappy, and seeing this, he clenched his fist and threw a punch.
The twigs that had been rolled over were blasted into several pieces, so shattered that it was unclear whether they could be pieced back together.
Zhong Yan did the same, throwing out a blade of energy to cut the branch in half.
Then, he extended his right hand, and a red mark flashed across his palm.
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from the tree. I couldn't hear it, but it seemed to make my soul tremble for a while.
However, the sound quickly disappeared as Zhong Yan used the blood coffin to forcibly remove the remnant soul from it and hold it in his hand.
"Ah Sheng, open your mouth."
Ah Sheng didn't see anything, but his brother told him to open his mouth, so he opened his mouth.
Zhong Yan shoved the remnant soul into his mouth and laughed, "Try chewing it and see if it helps."
Ah Sheng: ...There's nothing there, what is he chewing on?
Mu Jinning walked behind him, made a mark with her hands, and patted his back.
Ah Sheng was startled and turned around abruptly, his tiger-like eyes glaring. Just as he was about to speak, he felt something slip down his throat and into his stomach.
Then, the thing burrowed inside his stomach and then burrowed into his head.
He was startled and immediately shouted, "Senior brother, why did you hit me?"
Mu Jinning, Zhong Yan, and Zhong Ran all stared at him: "What do you feel?"
Ah Sheng raised his hand and patted his head, feeling much more comfortable and clear-headed.
How should I put it? It's like he'd never really woken up before, but now he's suddenly awake.
He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I think I'm awake."
The three exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with surprise.
What does this mean? It means that these remnant souls are still beneficial to Ah Sheng.
It was like a powerful tonic, making his somewhat slow-witted mind feel complete.
"It's good that you're awake. I'll get you more to eat later. If you feel unwell, be sure to tell me."
Ah Sheng scratched his head in confusion and replied somewhat blankly, "Oh."
The four continued onward, and when they encountered another tree with remnants of souls, they unceremoniously grabbed the remnants of souls from it and fed them to Ah Sheng.
However, he didn't know how to refine it and needed Mu Jinning's help.
After two days, he was different; his eyes seemed to have a light in them.
"Sister, brother, senior brother, I feel like I've become smarter."
"Can you memorize the cultivation technique?"
Ah Sheng nodded, then shook his head: "I don't know."
Upon hearing his words, the three exchanged glances and smiled helplessly.
"No rush, take your time."
These remnant souls have been gone for an unknown period of time, long since losing their independent consciousness and even their memories.
It's like a blank sheet of paper; now, its role is to add spiritual power to them.
Ah Sheng has always been the kind of person who's single-minded, but now he's actually starting to think outside the box.
"Okay, just be smarter in the future and don't get fooled."
Ah Sheng scratched his head habitually and chuckled foolishly, "I won't be fooled. They can't fool me."
As long as he stays close to his older sister and brother, no one can fool him.
Zhong Yan chuckled and patted his arm: "Good lad, not bad. So, can you change your height at will now?"
His older sister had taught him this before; all he had to do was keep thinking about it in his mind.
