Chapter 705: A Day Full of Unexpected Events.
"I don’t know," Chu Liang said, appearing very much baffled.
Naturally, he wasn’t denying about killing Qi Lin’er, but he truly had no idea about this so-called "life essence."
However, after a moment of thought, he guessed it might have been the golden imprint that the White Pagoda extracted, which had nothing to do with the divine sense or soul. It turned out that the golden imprint was the most fundamental essence of a being’s life—both the soul and corporeal body stemmed from this tiny fragment of spiritual energy in the world.
In fact, he had long been curious about what the golden imprint used for rewards in the White Pagoda really was. In this world, spiritual energy followed the principle of conservation. Whether it was the soul, the corporeal body, or foundational qi, nothing could appear out of thin air.
It turned out to be something even more fundamental.
Currently, the White Pagoda contained numerous imprints from demonic beasts he had hunted and killed in the Sea of Demons. The imprint locked up at the innermost area was the one he had just obtained from Qi Lin’er. It was round and plump, resembling a stubborn stone.
The East Sea Chrono Wheel had the power to reverse time, but it required Qi Lin’er’s life essence to be present. However, the life essence had already been taken by the White Pagoda and could not be reclaimed by the Chrono Wheel in its attempt to reverse time.
At this point, Chu Liang couldn’t help but wonder, Does this mean that the White Pagoda is ranked above the East Sea Chrono Wheel?
In the Catalog of the Mortal World’s Ten Thousand Treasures, the East Sea Chrono Wheel was ranked fourth, with only three items ranked higher...
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but there was no time to dwell on them. Gazing up at the sky, Chu Liang could already sense Daoist Cangsheng’s murderous intent!
Daoist Cangsheng's gaze was icy, and from the clouds above, a chilling aura swept down, pressing in like an unstoppable force.
