Chapter 2663: Condition
“If you get careless, your soul could disintegrate.” Zu An grimly warned Yan Xuehen.
Upon reaching the Earth Immortal realm, cultivators gained the power to draw their souls out of their bodies. The stronger they were, the further their souls could travel from their bodies.
But that was limited to the mortal world, which was filled with ki that could nourish one’s soul. Even so, they had to be extremely careful of weapons that dealt with the soul, and their bodies had to be protected properly too. A soul, no matter how powerful, would disintegrate if it lost a body to house itself.
The fact that they were heading to the Netherworld, which could potentially corrode their souls, didn't help either.
“No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go. I have been worried about Chuyan all these years. I have browsed countless records but couldn’t find a way to save her. I finally have some news about her now. I won’t be able to rest at ease unless I see her in person.” Yan Xuehen looked anguished.
Judging from her emotional fluctuations, Zu An could tell that this was a knot in her heart. Yan Xuehen thought that their relationship was what had caused Chu Chuyan’s mishap. If she couldn’t resolve it in time, it could grow into an inner demon, and that would be the greatest possible bane in her cultivation method.
Thus, Zu An said, “Alright.”
“When do we make a move?” Yan Xuehen breathed a sigh of relief.
Zu An looked at the night sky and said, “It’s going to be the ‘Zi’ hour[1] soon. The yin energy will be the most concentrated then; it’ll be best to head to the Netherworld at that time.”
He gave Yan Xuehen a brief overview of the Netherworld and the things she had to look out for lest she suffer a fright later on.
Yan Xuehen calmly listened to him. Shortly after, she began meditating under his guidance, and by channeling the method he had imparted to her, her soul began drifting out of her body.
Staring at her face close up, Zu An was mesmerized by her beautiful appearance and her unique transcendent disposition. No wonder even someone as powerful as Zhao Han had courted her back then.
