“Ye Mo, you have a way to remove the spirit sense marks?” Bian Fengta asked. It was extremely hard for cauldron filling state cultivators to remove truth realisation state spirit sense marks, but to Bian Fengta, Ye Mo wasn’t an ordinary cauldron filling state at all.
Teng Yi also looked at Ye Mo worriedly, hoping for a certain answer. Ye Mo nodded. “Yes, I have a way to remove it but I can’t do it now.”
“Why?” the two asked at the same time.
“If I remove it now, we can only leave immediately and not go Lost Soul Ruins,” Ye Mo replied. If he removed it now, Teng Xiong and the other truth realisation state cultivator would know and might wait for him at Lost Soul Ruins.
If he indeed couldn’t go inside Lost Soul Ruins, he would remove the spirit sense mark and run away. If he could go inside, he would leave it inside the Lost Soul Ruins and the two would think he died there.
…
Ye Mo put 8 extreme grade spirit stones on Blue Moon and with Ye Mo’s cultivation essence, it sped through the sky above the Heartless Sea.
A few days later, Blue Moon stopped.
This was the first time Ye Mo saw Lost Soul Ruins and immediately knew it wasn’t some place ordinary people could enter.
The entire Lost Soul Ruins seemed to be covered in a grey mist, it seemed like a city torn apart by war. Crumbled buildings lingered in the mist and even the entire island seemed to be swaying as well.
“Don’t scan your spirit sense in…”
Teng Yi said it too late and Ye Mo had scanned his spirit sense in already. As soon as he did, he felt his sea of consciousness hurt. There seemed to be a voice calling him to go into the Lost Soul Ruins. His face was dazed and he subconsciously wanted to walk forward.
But then, Three Birth Chant started running itself and Ye Mo immediately noticed things were wrong. He cut with Purple Eye Soul Sever and that voice was severed off.
At this moment, Teng Yi already came to pull him.
“I forgot to tell you you can’t scan your spirit sense in. Did you do it just then?” Teng Yi asked.
Ye Mo nodded. “Yes, it’s indeed powerful and eerie.”
“You scanned your spirit sense in and were able to sever it?” Teng Yi was shook again. Usually if one scanned their spirit sense in, it would be death without someone else’s help, but Ye Mo could break free. This was unbelievable!
Ye Mo ate a Spirit Recovery Pill and nodded. “My spirit sense is special so I can cut it off, but this Lost Soul Ruins is indeed extraordinary. How can a place like this have level nine spirit herbs? That’s impossible.”
Lost Soul Ruins was an abandoned city, he would believe it if there were ores there but not level nine spirit herbs.
Teng Yi said seriously, “It’s true there’re level nine spirit herbs inside. Once, someone saw a disaster transformation state tertiary stage cultivator grab three level nine spirit herbs and charge out, but it was a pity that his soul was gone and he became a zombie. Many people went in later but no one came out. Eventually, everyone knew there’re level nine spirit herbs inside but less and less people went in.”
“Do you know how it came to be? Why does it look like a city?” Ye Mo asked again.
Bian Fengta looked at Teng Yi as well.
Teng Yi nodded. “I know a little but it’s also a tale. In the ancient times, Lost Soul Ruins was a beautiful city called the Bright Moon City. It was a human city, the city lord was Feng Chun. Feng Chun had a very good friend called Li He. They were life and death friends. Due to this, Li He married his only daughter Li Hun to Feng Chun’s only son Feng Xi.”
It was already very quiet here and the seemingly swaying buildings inside the Lost Soul Ruins added to the mysteriousness of Teng Yi’s tone.
Teng Yi continued, “Feng Xi and Li Hun, due to their fathers’ relationship, grew close everyday and became life and death lovers. But the unexpected happened, Feng Chun and Li He faced a powerful enemy in the Heartless Sea. Both of them combined were no match for him. At this moment, Feng Chun pushed Li He away and stopped the opponent himself. He let Li He take care of his daughter and Feng XI. Li He didn’t want to leave but was pushed off. Meanwhile, Feng Chun self destructed with his essence blood, enveloping the enemy.
Bian Fengta sighed, “This Feng Chun qian bei is indeed a real man.”
Teng Yi nodded. “Yes, that Li He heard the sound of explosion and knew that there was no use in going back. He went back to Bright Moon City immediately. He was scared of the enemy coming for revenge, but after waiting for a few months, he still didn’t see the enemy. Li He thought the enemy probably fled, heavily injured from his friend’s self destruction. He left Bright Moon City and went back to his home, wanting to marry his daughter and Feng Xi. But at this moment, another thing happened.”
“What?” Bian Fengta quickly asked.
Even Ye Mo was desperate to know what happened.
Teng Yi continued, “When Li He got back, he found that something happened to his daughter. His daughter fell unconscious during cultivation and lost her soul. She became a living dead without a soul. Even though Li He found the best pill king in the entire Heartless Sea, he couldn’t save his daughter. Li He, in his despair, lived with his daughter on his own island and didn’t want to come out.”
“This Li He is a pitiful person,” Teng Yi said comparing his father with Li He.
Ye Mo frowned. He was a pill king, usually there could be problems during cultivation, but it was really rare to have one lose his soul during cultivation unless there was some outside influence. But then Ye Mo realized, it was a tale and might not be real.
Teng Yi sighed. “Feng Xi was extremely sad knowing that his father died. But a year later, he didn’t see Li He bringing Li Hun to Bright Moon City so he went to where she was. Learning her situation, he was even more sad. Eventually, he asked Li He to let him take Li Hun away. He was willing to take care of her for the rest of her life. Li He thought that he was planning to marry his daughter to Feng Xi anyways, so he agreed.”
“When Feng Xi brought Li Hun back, he wanted to save her at all costs. He flipped through all of his father’s books and finally found a secret technique to recover the soul. That was to set up a Soul Nourishing Formation and put the person who lost his soul inside. Then, one would use their own soul to nourish that person. With this, 99 days later, the person who lost his soul might recover a part of his soul and then can make it stronger through cultivation. But there was one great flaw and that was if you used your own soul to nourish someone else, after some time, your soul would have its’ essence blood damaged heavily. If you were lucky, you would lose 80% of your lifespan, if you weren’t, you would lose your soul too and become an idiot.”
Bian Fengta sighed. “This Feng Xi is an emotional man.”
Ye Mo knew of the Soul nNourishing Formation. But the injured person must have at least a sliver of his soul or it would be useless. The best way to treat it wasn’t the Soul Nourishing Formation but the Soul Nourishing Pill. It could cultivate a cultivator’s lost soul and repair dead cultivator’s souls. It was a heaven grade level seven pill but it was worth the same as heaven grade level eight pills or even level nine.
It needed the Soul Return Fruit, a level eight spirit herb which was rarer than ordinary level nine spirit herbs.
“Did that Feng Xi succeed?” Bian Fengta asked.
Teng Yi shook his head. “If he succeeded, there wouldn’t be Lost Soul Ruins.”
