"If you're not careful, your soul will be scattered." Zu An's expression was solemn. In fact, after cultivating to the level of Earth Immortal, a cultivator's Yin and Yang spirits can indeed leave the body. The higher the strength, the farther away they can leave the body.
But that was in the normal world, where there was abundant vital energy everywhere, which could nourish the Yin and Yang spirits. Even so, one was still afraid of encountering weapons that targeted the soul. At the same time, the physical body had to be well protected. Otherwise, if your soul left your body, your physical body would be destroyed by the enemy. No matter how strong your soul was, it would eventually be scattered.
Moreover, this time they were going to the Netherworld, a place that naturally exerts a great suppression and corrosive effect on the soul.
"No matter how great the danger, I will go. I have been worried about Chu Yan all these years. I have searched through the books but still could not find a way to save her. Now that I have finally heard news of her, I cannot rest easy if I cannot see her with my own eyes." Yan Xuehen's brows were full of sorrow.
Zuan noticed her emotional fluctuations and knew that this matter had always been a knot in her heart. She always felt that the two of them being together led to Chu Yan's accident. If it was not resolved in time, the knot in her heart might turn into a demon in her heart, and the cultivation technique that Yan Xuehen practiced was most afraid of this.
Thinking this through, he said in a deep voice, "Alright!"
"When do we set off?" Yan Xuehen breathed a slight sigh of relief when he agreed.
Zu An looked at the night sky outside: "It's almost midnight, which is the time of day when the yin energy is at its strongest, making it the perfect time to go to the underworld."
Next, he first explained the general situation of the Netherworld and the precautions to Yan Xuehen, so as to prevent her from being frightened by anything later.
Yan Xuehen remained calm and, under his guidance, quickly sat in meditation in the room, practicing the method he had taught her, and began to separate her soul from her body.
Looking at her face up close, Zu An secretly admired her beautiful features. Coupled with her unique aloofness and refined elegance, it was no wonder that people like Zhao Hao were her pursuit back then.
Suddenly, Yan Xuehen opened her eyes and met his gaze as he scrutinized her. Her jade-like cheeks flushed slightly. "I have another question. When my soul leaves my body, will my physical body have any problems here?"
Having had many suitors over the years, she had become accustomed to protecting herself. After her soul left her body, she would not know what would happen to her physical body here, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Zuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this is the safest place in the academy, and I will also set up a magic array around it to ensure that no one will get close. In addition, if any unexpected situation occurs, I can come back in time. In this world, I can know what is happening in every place if I want to."
Yan Xuehen was relieved and at the same time admired his level of attainment: "The supreme realm recorded in the Taoist classics is considered by all generations of practitioners to be just the imagination of the sages. I never thought that you could actually reach it."
“Call me Master from now on, and I’ll teach you,” Zu An said with a smile as he leaned closer.
"Pah!" Yan Xuehen spat and turned her face away in embarrassment.
She had heard the other person's speeches over the past few days, and he had mentioned that his current level of attainment was indeed enough to make him her master.
But back then she was discussing cultivation issues with utmost seriousness. However, the tone this guy is using now clearly suggests he wants to exploit this identity to play some kind of game like jockey-mafia. How could she possibly agree to that?
Knowing she was easily embarrassed, Zu'an was worried that it might upset her and affect what was to come, so he refrained from teasing her further: "Are you ready? Shall we begin?"
"Alright!" Yan Xuehen closed her eyes again and, guided by the other party, ran a special incantation. Soon, a faint phantom rose from her body.
Seeing the body sitting upright on the bed, Yan Xuehen felt a little uncomfortable for a moment: "This kind of soul leaving the body seems to be somewhat different from the previous kind of yin and yang spirit leaving the body."
As Zuan altered the surrounding environment to protect her soul, he chuckled, "Actually, it's pretty much the same. Yin and Yang spirits are both part of the soul. In her current state, she has lost the most essential spark of spiritual light from her body..."
The phantom was exactly the same as Yan Xuehen. Zu An was a little curious. Theoretically, the soul state should be the purest without any other embellishment. Why did every soul that left the body seem to be wearing clothes?
Yes, it must be the subconscious mind at work. Even when the soul leaves the body, the subconscious feeling is that one needs to wear clothes, so the clothes are materialized as well...
Yan Xuehen felt she had benefited greatly from his account of the soul and thought that she would go into seclusion for a while after returning, and probably make further progress.
Seeing his solemn expression, her eyes softened unconsciously, and she thought to herself that Ah Zu was indeed very handsome when he was serious.
If she knew what Zuan was thinking, her idealized image of him would probably shatter completely.
"Don't you need to have your soul leave your body?" She suddenly noticed Zu'an's situation and became somewhat curious.
Zuan smiled slightly and reached out to take her hand: "The Netherworld does not allow any living person to enter, but I am the only exception. Come on, I'll take you with me."
This time, Yan Xuehen did not refuse. In her current soul state, she naturally felt insecure and subconsciously wanted to be with Zu An.
But after she took his hand, she couldn't help but tremble: "Why does it feel so strange?"
"The sensation is much stronger in the soul state than usual..." Zu An said, then suddenly thought of the time when he and Jiang Luofu in the demon world had coincidentally merged into one in the soul state, and that feeling was indeed unforgettable.
I don't know if she's really safe now...
Noticing his unusual expression, Yan Xuehen subconsciously muttered, "Holding my hand but thinking about other girls?"
She regretted saying it as soon as the words left her mouth; it was really not something she should have said.
