Chapter 1006: Long Separation
"Is she alright, Master?" Weeping Soul asked.
"She's fine, it's just that her cultivation foundation was compromised from excessive demonic power expenditure, but I've already smoothed out those problems for her. It seems like you're very fond of this girl. I've never seen you be so friendly to anyone else," Han Li remarked with an inquisitive expression.
"Her soul aura is very clean and pure, like a spring in the mountains. It's very comforting to me, and perhaps that's why I'm drawn to her," Weeping Soul explained in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"You can detect soul auras now?" Han Li asked with a surprised expression.
"After I awakened from my unconscious state, I discovered that I had made some strides in my law power cultivation base, allowing me to detect the soul auras of others, using which I can determine their personalities. With this ability up my sleeve, no one can hide their true nature from me," Weeping Soul replied with a smug expression, and Han Li was quite intrigued to hear this.
If this ability really were as Weeping Soul described, then it was quite extraordinary. No matter how powerful one's spiritual sense was, it was still impossible for one to look directly into the heart of someone else, so this was certainly a very remarkable ability to possess.
"What's my soul aura like?" Han Li asked in a curious manner.
"Your soul aura is too vast for me to assess clearly, but overall, you have a very just and righteous aura," Weeping Soul replied.
"I certainly wouldn't dare to say that I'm a just and righteous man. All I can say is that I have a relatively clear conscience," Han Li said with a shake of his head.
"Given how perilous the path of cultivation is, those who are too kind of heart or too weak of will cannot hope to progress far down this path. Sometimes, one has to be a little cold-hearted. Otherwise, they risk hurting themselves and even those precious to them.
“While it can appear to others that you're a little cold and detached, you have a moral code that you abide by in everything that you do, and that's certainly far from common for cultivators of your caliber," Weeping Soul said in an earnest manner.
"It seems like not only are you now able to see into the hearts of others, you're also seeing the world much more clearly," Han Li remarked with a faint smile.
