“It's true!
Young Master Ye, let me guide you so we can perceive the figures of the ancestor and Palace Lord Su together!”
The mage said.
“Alright!”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
The mage formed hand seals with his fingers, striking out several incantations towards a specific point in the spacetime ahead, then softly chanted. Symbols composed of Reincarnation Energy and the Reincarnation Law continuously manifested.
Then that area of spacetime began to change.
Suddenly.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures swiftly appeared and flashed past.
“Qingluo! Lunhui Laozu!”
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was formidable; he immediately sensed that the two figures were Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu.
He was naturally extremely familiar with the auras of Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu and recognized them almost instantly.
“The ancestor and Palace Lord Su are in a hurry. They flashed by, where could they be going?
Could they be rushing to reach some place?”
A deacon asked doubtfully.
“No, it's not that they are in a hurry. Rather, they are being pulled along by a mysterious and powerful force, unable to control their movements.”
The mage spoke up.
“Yes, it seems like they are controlled by a mysterious force, swiftly advancing across this land, unable to act according to their own will.”
After listening to the mage's words, Ye Yunfei released his own Soul Power energy to carefully sense those two figures. After a moment, he nodded in agreement.
“I know! It's not some mysterious force, it's the Samsara Three Lives Tablet!”
Suddenly, a deacon exclaimed.
“Correct! It must be the Samsara Three Lives Tablet!
When the ancestor and Palace Lord Su disappeared, they must have activated our Reincarnation Palace's legendary Samsara Three Lives Tablet. The tablet actually brought them into this Reincarnation Passage and to this place. The ancestor and Palace Lord Su are definitely being pulled along by the Samsara Three Lives Tablet, hence they are unable to control their movements.”
Hearing this deacon's words, the other high-ranking members of the Reincarnation Palace all had a sudden moment of realization.
Previously, these high-ranking members had deduced that Lunhui Laozu and Su Qingluo most likely used the legendary Samsara Three Lives Tablet when they disappeared. Combined with the two figures they just witnessed, it was easy to guess that the two were being carried forward by the Samsara Three Lives Tablet, which explained their tremendous speed.
“That's very possible.”
Ye Yunfei also found the reasoning sound and nodded.
“Three mages, quickly divine where the ancestor and Palace Lord Su are being taken by the Samsara Three Lives Tablet!”
A deacon said to the three mages.
“Alright, we will commence the divination immediately.”
The three mages from the Reincarnation Palace nodded and began their divination simultaneously.
However, even after most of the day passed, the three mages couldn't divine any concrete result.
“How strange. After the ancestor and Palace Lord Su arrived here, it's as if they suddenly vanished. I cannot divine any trace of them whatsoever!
What in the world is going on?
It's like they suddenly lost all trace after arriving here.”
One of the mages had almost exhausted all his divination methods but gained nothing, looking extremely agitated.
“I also cannot divine any result. The ancestor and Palace Lord Su seem to have suddenly disappeared.”
The other two mages also frowned.
“Three mages, don't be anxious just yet. Please try divining more carefully.”
A deacon spoke up.
While the three mages were divining, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and Jin Jiao Long Can each released their own Soul Power energy, attempting to perceive the surrounding spacetime to search for Su Qingluo.
But to Ye Yunfei's disappointment, they still couldn't sense any aura related to Su Qingluo or Lunhui Laozu.
It was as if, after arriving here, the two had simply vanished!
One day later.
“Young Master Ye, esteemed deacons, we cannot sense the auras of the ancestor or Palace Lord Su anymore.”
The three mages were utterly dejected; their day-long divination bore no fruit.
“In that case, let's go ahead and take a look.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and spoke.
This expanse of land was vast and boundless, impossible to see the end from where they stood.
“Alright, Young Master Ye, let's proceed together.”
The Reincarnation Palace elders all nodded in agreement.
Ye Yunfei activated his Body Divine Ability, enlarging his palm and letting the Reincarnation Palace elders stand upon it, then strode forward.
The suppression on the physical body in this space wasn't very severe, so Ye Yunfei's speed while using his physical strength was extremely fast, leaving behind afterimages as he covered a huge distance in an instant.
“Three mages, please try divining here again.”
After putting a significant distance between them and the original location, Ye Yunfei set everyone down and addressed the three mages.
“Very well.”
The three mages nodded and began their divination together once more. However, after a good while, the three mages still couldn't divine anything.
Everyone felt deeply disappointed.
They had finally found clues to Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu, but now it seemed the trail was going cold again.
“Huh?
Look!
What is that?”
At this moment, a deacon suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone's gaze immediately followed the direction he pointed.
“There's a blurry figure over there!”
A deacon shouted.
Sure enough, in that direction, quite far from the group, stood a blurry, indistinct figure, swaying constantly and appearing somewhat illusory.
The figure's gaze seemed to be directed towards their location, as if sizing up Ye Yunfei and his party.
“It's not Palace Lord Su, nor the ancestor. Who could it be?”
A mage said in shock.
“That is a Remnant Soul!”
Huang Shang appeared beside Ye Yunfei and cried out.
As a ghost cultivator, Huang Shang was most sensitive to remnant souls!
Because, to Huang Shang, all remnant souls under heaven were extremely precious cultivation resources.
“Correct, it is a Remnant Soul.”
Ye Yunfei nodded in confirmation.
“Let's go, we should get closer and see!”
Ye Yunfei stretched out his palm, scooping everyone up, and then charged forward towards that direction.
Ye Yunfei's speed was extreme; he arrived at the location of that Remnant Soul in an instant.
“Kid, what's your intention, bringing a ghost cultivator here!
I warn you, even though I'm just a Remnant Soul, you lot might not necessarily be my match!”
Seeing Huang Shang's jet-black, lustrous ghost body, the Remnant Soul seemed somewhat wary. Its form flashed, instantly putting a considerable distance between itself and Ye Yunfei.
“This Remnant Soul is incredibly fast!
It seems its strength is certainly not weak. Be careful!”
Hun Lao cautioned Ye Yunfei.
By now, Ye Yunfei could clearly sense the Remnant Soul.
“Even though it's just a Remnant Soul, its strength is truly frightening.”
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel a hidden sense of wariness.
It could be said that this was the most formidable Remnant Soul Ye Yunfei had ever encountered up to this point!
“Hmph, just a ghost cultivator. It'd be best if he disappeared from my sight immediately, or don't blame me, this young master, for being impolite!
Let me tell you the truth. Back in my day, I was a Demigod!”
The Remnant Soul sized up Ye Yunfei, then stared at Huang Shang, speaking in a threatening tone.
“A Demigod?”
Hearing the Remnant Soul's words, Ye Yunfei felt somewhat shocked.
What level was a Demigod?
The highest cultivation level Ye Yunfei knew of was the Deity realm, but 'Demigod' was a level he was hearing for the first time.
“Could a Demigod be a realm just below the Deity realm?”
Ye Yunfei pondered silently.
“What?
You were a Demigod?
Is that true?”
A mage, upon hearing the Remnant Soul's words, seemed somewhat disbelieving and asked in a tone of astonishment.
As a Reincarnation Palace mage, he was privy to many ancient secrets and clearly knew what a Demigod entailed.
“Mage, what exactly is the Demigod realm?”
Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
“The Demigod realm is a level below that of a True God.
Above Earth Immortal lies Sky Immortal, and above Sky Immortal is the Demigod realm.
One could say the Demigod realm is a transitional stage between Immortal and God.”
The mage replied.
“I see. There's a Demigod realm above Sky Immortal.”
Ye Yunfei listened and nodded.
“Correct. I didn't expect you to have some knowledge. Now you know how formidable I am. Even if I'm just a Remnant Soul, the remnant soul of a Demigod is far more powerful than you lot. So you guys better not provoke me, or the consequences will be severe.”
Hearing the mage's explanation, the Remnant Soul wore a smug expression as he spoke.
“Senior, rest assured, we bear no ill will towards you and certainly won't provoke you. We are here to find two people.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Oh?
No one has come to this place for who knows how long. Who are you looking for?”
The Remnant Soul's expression softened considerably upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words and asked.
“Senior, we are looking for these two. Have you seen them by any chance?”
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, projecting simulated images of Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu, and asked.
“Looking for those two...”
The Remnant Soul listened, its gaze falling upon the images of Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu.
“Hmm, I seem to have a vague impression of these two. But they flashed past so quickly; I didn't get a clear look at them. I don't know where they went. However, one thing is certain: these two have indeed been here.”
After scrutinizing for a while, the Remnant Soul spoke.
“Senior, please think carefully, where exactly did they go?”
Having confirmed from the Remnant Soul's words that Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu had indeed been here, Ye Yunfei pondered a moment before asking again.
“Can't think of it. This place is incredibly strange. How would I know where they went? I've been stuck here for so long and still haven't managed to figure this place out.
If you want to find them, you'll have to figure it out yourself. I can't help you.”
The Remnant Soul shook its head in reply.
Ye Yunfei felt somewhat disappointed hearing this.
This Remnant Soul was very powerful, and judging by its words, it must have seen Su Qingluo and Lunhui Laozu. Yet even it didn't know where they had gone. This truly indicated how difficult finding them would be.
“Senior, this is the ancient Reincarnation Passage of our Reincarnation Palace. Why have you been staying here for so long?”
Hearing the Remnant Soul's words, the Reincarnation Palace deacons and the three mages all felt strange. A mage couldn't help but ask.
“Ah, it's a past too unbearable to recall. I was tricked into coming here.”
The Remnant Soul shook its head, replying with a tone of lament.
“Tricked into coming here?”
Everyone present was taken aback.
“Senior, you were tricked into coming here?”
A deacon cautiously inquired.
“Yes, I speak the truth. Back then, I was severely wounded, on the brink of death, and knew I wouldn't survive.
But my heart was filled with resentment, as there were many things left unfinished in my life. After inquiries, I learned that within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, there existed a Reincarnation Passage that allowed deceased souls to reincarnate and live another lifetime. So, mustering my last bit of energy, I made my way to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and found this Reincarnation Passage.
The ones in control of this Reincarnation Passage back then were precisely your Reincarnation Palace people.
When I found this Reincarnation Passage, it coincided with the final moments of my life. After my death, I left behind this remnant soul and entered the Reincarnation Passage, hoping to reincarnate and live another life through it. But the ideal was plump, while the reality was harsh. Back then, after enduring countless hardships and entering this Reincarnation Passage, I believed I would succeed in reincarnation and fulfill my original wish. However, I soon discovered that this Reincarnation Passage had long been abandoned and was completely empty.
The result is that my Remnant Soul has spent endless lonely years within this Reincarnation Passage, right up to the present, and I still haven't found any channel or opportunity for reincarnation here.
In short, I was tricked into coming here all those years ago!”
The Remnant Soul sighed and recounted this tale.
“So that's how it is.”
Everyone suddenly understood, finally realizing why it claimed to have been tricked.
“And I must say, it's all your Reincarnation Palace's responsibility! Isn't it said that the Reincarnation Passages are controlled by your Reincarnation Palace?
Why was this Reincarnation Passage abruptly abandoned back then?
It caused me to suffer so many hardships and setbacks, struggling desperately to reach this spacetime, only to end up with such a result. Your Reincarnation Palace owes me a reasonable explanation!”
The Remnant Soul suddenly fixed its gaze on the six deacons and three mages of the Reincarnation Palace, demanding with anger in its voice.
Rumble…
As it spoke, a terrifyingly immense wave of Soul Power energy surged forward like an ocean.
“Be careful!”
Ye Yunfei's expression changed drastically, and he cried out softly.
The six deacons and three mages of the Reincarnation Palace all paled, resisting with all their might as they were forced to retreat.
“Senior, let's talk this over rationally!”
Ye Yunfei immediately released his own Soul Power energy, forming a protective barrier around the six deacons and three mages.
“Oh?
Kid, despite your young age, you actually possess such strength.
I nearly underestimated you!”
The Remnant Soul let out a soft exclamation of surprise and began to size Ye Yunfei up.
