Chapter 804: Chapter 804: The Valley is Empty!

"Have you really been to the Spirit World?"

Seeing how Beiming Qing spoke with such conviction, Lu Chen found it hard not to believe him.

"Really, when I passed through the channel, it just..."

Beiming Qing trailed off.

Lu Chen quickly asked, "What happened then?"

"There was an extremely terrifying pressure that bore down upon me. My nine meridians shattered on the spot. Had I not reacted extremely fast, risking the shattering of my Lifebound Magic Weapon and abandoning my body, there would have been no possibility of returning!"

Lu Chen was even more shocked. "Your Nascent Soul... Separated from your body?"

"It did."

Beiming Qing’s expression suddenly became much more melancholic. "However, apart from the Nascent Souls of the Spirit Sound Sect, nobody knows of this."

Lu Chen’s puzzlement increased. "So, did you possess another body afterward?"

A Nascent Soul can possess another body, but it can do so only once in a lifetime, else it violates the heavenly law.

"No," Beiming Qing shook his head. "At that time, the sect had arranged for many bodies for me to possess, but I could not bring myself to do it..."

Lu Chen immediately felt admiration.

In the current Cultivation World, everyone was selfish and self-interested. Not to mention anything else, just the cultivators of the Eastern Domain banding together was only for mutual benefit.

If the channel to the Spirit World could only allow one person through at a time...

It’s likely that in the end, these Nascent Souls would certainly engage in infighting.

He heaved a long sigh and said, "Then why didn’t you choose to possess another body? In doing so, you could have ensured the maintenance of your strength as much as possible."

"But in doing that, a person would have lost their life for no reason," Beiming Qing seemed to be also puzzled. "Isn’t every life a life?"

Lu Chen was at a loss for words, even though he also disapproved of possession.

And Beiming Qing, by acting in such a way, was slowly winning his trust.

"That’s why people like Nangong Yue dislike me. I don’t get along with them."

Lu Chen was puzzled again. "Logically speaking, if you did not possess another body, it would give Nangong Yue the opportunity to become the sect master, right? And indeed, she did become the Sect Master of Spirit Sound Sect."

Beiming Qing gave a wry smile and said, "With my strength diminished, even if I had possessed another body, at best I would have only reached the Early Nascent Soul Stage. I had already lost the position of sect master. If I possessed another body, after all, the Spirit Sound Sect wouldn’t lack a Nascent Soul."

Lu Chen suddenly realized the significance. A Nascent Soul could deter others, and the more Nascent Souls a sect had, their strength would naturally be greater.

And the Spirit Sound Sect did not want the rest of the Eastern Domain’s sects to be suspicious, so they hoped that Beiming Qing would possess a body.

In the end, it was still because the people in the sect were too selfish.

Lu Chen returned to the main topic. "After you were injured, did you discover anything else?"

"No, I didn’t see anything. How could I have released my Spiritual Sense to investigate with that kind of pressure? I would have done anything just to use every strand of Spiritual Power to escape for my life."

Lu Chen was helpless, but this also made him believe even more the words of the ancient beast he had spoken with.

Fortunately, there was still some time before the deep parts of Tianyuan opened up. Lu Chen could cultivate himself and also make as thorough preparations as possible.

For instance, have his Nascent Soul leave the body directly, allowing the Earth Fire to control his body and go to the Spirit World first.

Or use some other method.

As for Beiming Qing, he had already made up his mind; he would settle him in One-Line Sky.

To prefer not to possess another body, and to preserve an ordinary person’s life, one could see her character.

Apart from that, Lu Chen also planned to enter One-Line Sky and not come out for a while, letting those Nascent Souls from the Eastern Domain be suspicious of each other.

When he reappeared later, maybe he would be able to completely win them over. After that, he could drive away the foreign cultivators and finally eliminate the remaining ancient beasts in one fell swoop!

A long while later, Lu Chen brought Beiming Qing to One-Line Sky.

He did not rush in, but first sent out his Spiritual Sense.

But immediately after, his expression drastically changed!

There was not a single person in the valley!
