Chapter 1325 Spirits


    "Anyways, the reason I need to visit the Shadow Realm is because I am looking for a cultivator''s soul in the God Ascension realm," Yuan said as Senior Bai stared at him with wide eyes.


    "The Blood Mastiff is currently depleting more spiritual energy than he can absorb, and since spiritual treasures are incredibly scarce in our world, we can only rely on a powerful cultivator''s soul for assistance."


    "I understand your reasoning, but even if you somehow manage to find a cultivator''s soul of that level, how will you bring them back to your world?"


    Yuan retrieved his Empyrean Overlord and Starry Abyss, showing it to Senior Bai.


    "I''m told that a Soul Weapon can shelter souls, and since these Soul Weapons are connected to my soul, I can summon them even in my world," Yuan exined the process to him.


    Senior Bai fell into silence with a look of amazement on his face.


    "I see… that would work… However, the biggest issue here is finding these souls. A God Ascension realm cultivator can only be found in the Seventh Heaven and above. If you''re thinking about finding one in the Shadow Realm, you have a better chance of reaching the Ninth Heaven before you find a cultivator''s soul of that level in the Shadow Realm that hasn''t been corrupted." Senior Bai sighed.


    He continued, "The Shadow Realm hasn''t been used since ancient times, and the chances of a soul surviving this long without losing their sanity are extremely unlikely."


    "I already found two of them, though." Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    "What?! Is that true?!" Senior Bai eximed, his face filled with shock.


    "Yes, but my cultivation wasn''t sufficient enough to shelter these cultivators back then. They asked me to return once I reach Spirit Emperor, but my current soul strength should surpass even that of a Spirit Emperor."


    Senior Bai rubbed his eyes and asked in a worried tone, "Are you sure that you aren''t being tricked by these souls?"


    "One of these souls imed to be the Sect Master of the Immortal Monastery and the other imed to be one of three Ethereal Immortal Fairies. Perhaps you have heard of them, Senior." Senior Bai''s body trembled upon hearing this information.


    "D-Did you just say the Sect Master of the Immortal Monastery? The Immortal Monastery used to rule the Divine Heavens as one of the top 3 sects during the Primordial Era, and their Sect Master was one of the most powerful figures in the world. If they existed today, even the biggest sects would look insignificant before them."


    "As for the Ethereal Immortal Fairies, they exist even to this day, and they are some of the most influential figures in the Nine Heavens. Each of them has unrivaled beauty and is widely recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Nine Heavens. Of course, they are also powerful cultivators."


    ''I guess they weren''t spewingplete lies back then…'' Yuan thought to himself.


    "If these souls are truly who they im, there''s a decent chance that they are not lying. However, you must still be careful."


    Yuan smiled and said, "How about this? After I shelter them inside my Soul Weapon, I wille back here and let you judge them for yourself to see if they are truly who they im they are."


    Senior Bai nodded, "That would be for the best."


    Yuan and Senior Bai proceeded to continue their conversation about the Shadow Realm and the Vanishing Valley for a while.


    Senior Bai would give Yuan his advice and his own experience in the Vanishing Valley to prepare him better for the ce.


    As for the Shadow Realm, since he had no experience himself, Senior Bai could only talk about the corrupted souls within the ce.


    "Corrupted soulsck a physical form, rendering physical attacks ineffective against them. However, being souls, they are inherently vulnerable to spiritual attacks," Senior Bai exined.


    "With that being said, I do not rmend attacking them unless you have no other choice. They are indifferent when ites to physical attacks since they know they can''t hurt them, but if they are hurt even the slightest with spiritual attacks, they will be enraged and go on a frenzy, making them much more annoying to deal with."


    "Do you know where the entrance to the Shadow Realm is in Vanishing Valley?" Yuan asked.


    "Unfortunately, I do not know its exact location. However, it should be near the Giant''s Sword."


    "Giant''s Sword? What''s that?" Yuan inquired for more information.


    "In the Vanishing Valley, there exists a massive sword that makes even mountains look small. Half of the sword is rooted in the ground yet it''srge enough to touch the clouds. We call it the Giant''s Sword since it was clearly made to be wielded by giants. If you see it, you should be near the entrance. However, you must never approach the Giant''s Sword."


    "Is there something there?"


    Senior Bai nodded, "That''s the monster''s territory. If you get too close, the monster will attack you. Not even the magical beasts there dare to approach the Giant''s Sword. That''s how dangerous it is."


    "This monster is a spirit, correct?"


    "Yes. There are many types of spirits in this world with the mostmon being weapon spirits. When a weapon or Soul Weapon gains enough experience, whether through battle or other means, it gives birth to a conscience, and that conscience has a small chance of bing a spirit. A weapon with a spirit is vastly superior to a spiritless weapon, as these spirits awaken a weapon''s true potential."


    "As for the spirit, depending on their grade, their appearance may vary."


    Yuan looked at his two Soul Weapons in silence for a moment before asking, "Can a weapon give birth to multiple spirits?"


    "No, every weapon can only give birth to one spirit."


    "Then is there a way to tell if a Soul Weapon has given birth to one yet?"


    Senior Bai looked at his Soul Weapons and said, "There is a way, but it requires special equipment, something we don''t have ess to right now. With that being said, I don''t sense any spirits within your Soul Weapons, so there''s a good chance that they are spiritless. Of course, there''s an extremely small chance that they already gave birth to a spirit, but that spirit is not with the weapon for some reason."


    "Spirits can be separated with their weapon?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.


    "Of course. If a Soul Weapon were a human, their body would be the weapon itself while their soul would be the spirit. If you can separate your soul from your body, why can''t Soul Weapons?" Senior Bai said as he pointed at Yuan, reminding him that he currently exists within the Nine Heavens as a soul while his real body was on Earth.


    "What happens if a spirit dies?" Yuan then asked.


    "The Soul Weapon won''t be destroyed without its spirit since it came before, but the Soul Weapon will forever lose its ability to unleash its full potential."


    Yuan looked at his Soul Weapons again in silence.


    "What about the spirit in the Vanishing Valley? What kind of spirit is it?" he asked a momentter.


    "We don''t know. A spirit can be born from almost anything, even a de of grass if it has enough spiritual energy. But considering its prowess and appearance, it most likely came from a powerful spiritual treasure, or it''s a spirit created from that Giant''s Sword." "Its appearance?"


    "Yes, this spirit has the appearance of a human. Only the highest grade of spirits would have such an appearance." Senior Bai said.


    "A human-like spirit... how interesting..." Yuan mumbled to himself after learning of this information.
