Yan Xuehen almost choked on her words. How could this guy have such a sharp tongue?
"If that demoness hears this, she'll show you what a Grandmaster is." Yan Xuehen said with a straight face, "Do you think Grandmasters are as common as cabbages? There are very few people above our level, or they can't leave the mountain for various reasons. With the cultivation of me and the demoness, we are already enough to roam the world freely. Even among those of the same level, the demoness and I are definitely the best."
"Alright, alright, you and Sister Yun are the most powerful, so what about the next level?" Zu An chuckled inwardly. He rarely saw her so calm and collected, but it was rare to see her so nervously defending herself. Was this the competitive spirit of a strong person?
"I don't want to talk to you anymore." Yan Xuehen turned her face away, clearly still holding a grudge.
Zu'an hurriedly moved closer: "I apologize, I apologize. Come on, let me massage your back."
"Don't touch me," Yan Xuehen said instantly, her face flushed crimson. "You're not even dressed, what kind of behavior is this?"
"Anyway, there are no outsiders here." Zu An was somewhat dismissive.
Yan Xuehen turned her face to the other side, not daring to look anymore. Thinking of how this guy had just tormented her, her heart pounded.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down: "I said, it was just healing, and we'll pretend nothing happened afterward. Don't go back on your word."
“I didn’t agree,” Zu’an muttered under his breath. Seeing that the other woman’s eyebrows were about to furrow, he didn’t dare to provoke her too much and quickly changed the subject. “Master, please tell me what happened next.”
"Don't call me Master," Yan Xuehen said hastily, feeling uneasy about the title and worried that he would continue to pester her. "The next stage is to cultivate the Heavenly Soul at the top of the head and condense the Yin Spirit."
"A Yin spirit?" Zu An was taken aback.
"Actually, you can think of it as a soul entity. Its shape and appearance are exactly the same as the real person, but it is not a physical body. It can separate from the physical body and leave the body, but it must return to the physical body before dawn. Otherwise, when the sun rises, it will turn to ashes. That's why it is called a Yin spirit," Yan Xuehen explained.
"The next level is cultivating the life soul among the three souls. At this level, the yin spirit is not afraid of the scorching sun, and the distance from the physical body is greatly increased. When attached to an object, it can achieve the legendary feat of taking a person's head from ten thousand miles away."
Zu'an listened with a sense of longing, imagining how dashing it would be to take someone's head from thousands of miles away, and wondered when he could reach that level himself.
Yan Xuehen continued, "At this level, there are many other abilities, such as possessing another person's body, or even directly seizing their body."
Zuan was taken aback: "If that's the case, then wouldn't that mean we can live forever?"
He suddenly thought of Emperor Zhao Hao.
The ability to hide a fragment of the soul within the prince must have been achieved using the power of this realm.
“It’s not that simple,” Yan Xuehen shook her head. “The laws of Heaven wouldn’t leave such an obvious loophole. Although you can possess a body, you can only do it three times. Moreover, each time you possess a body, the new host’s lifespan will be greatly shortened, their strength will drop sharply, and their cultivation limit will be sealed.”

"After the third possession, one's cultivation level is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, but one's lifespan is far shorter. Those who reach this level are all powerful and influential figures, so how could they bear to be humiliated as ordinary people by the hands of servants? Therefore, unless there is no other choice, no one would choose this."
Hearing him say that, Zu'an felt relieved. In their previous lives, they were all people of their word, but in their later lives, their cultivation levels had dropped significantly. The world of cultivation is cruel, full of killing, robbing, slapping, and trampling. How could they endure such humiliation?
Moreover, those who possess others' bodies are often universally condemned, making the environment even more worrisome.
By the way, would you say my situation counts as possession...?
For a moment, Zuan began to question the meaning of life.
At this moment, Yan Xuehen continued, "Because this realm cultivates the three souls and its strength is significantly higher than that of ordinary Grandmasters, some people believe that reaching this realm is equivalent to becoming an Earth Immortal. However, this realm is significantly weaker than that of a true Earth Immortal, so the mainstream cultivation world calls it a half-step Earth Immortal, and it still falls within the Grandmaster realm overall."
"What about the real Earth Immortals?" Zu An asked. He knew he would have to break with Zhao Hao sooner or later, so he needed to know his enemy and himself.
Yan Xuehen hesitated and said, "I'm not too clear about that realm either; I can only say so based on the records in the sect's books."
"The first realm of the Earth Immortal is to cultivate the Earth Soul among the three souls, and cultivate the Yang Spirit. The Yang Spirit is different from the Yin Spirit. It is not afraid of the scorching sun, has a physical body, and is not much different from the original body. It can roam freely between heaven and earth, and it seems that it can control the power of cause and effect to a certain extent."
"The power of cause and effect?" Zu'an was taken aback. He wasn't surprised that the Yang God could roam the world, after all, he had seen Zhao Hao appear tens of thousands of miles away with just a royal decree and kill any enemy at will.
But this power of cause and effect is troublesome; it's basically all ultimate skills.
"I don't know the specifics either, I just saw a sentence like that in the Baiyujing classics." Yan Xuehen also shook her head.
"Is Zhao Hao at this level?" Zu An asked in a deep voice.
"No, it has to be a whole higher realm!" Yan Xuehen couldn't help but show a hint of admiration when she said this, after all, Zhao Hao was the most outstanding talent in the past few hundred years, and even the one who had the best chance of becoming a true immortal.
"He cultivates the Heavenly Soul, one of the three souls. It is said that this realm can cultivate the primordial spirit."
Zuan has been waiting for her.
He continued speaking, only to find the other person staring at him blankly. He paused, then asked, "And then?"
“That’s all,” Yan Xuehen said somewhat embarrassedly. “After all, this realm is too high. Apart from the emperor himself, no one else can understand it. Bai Yujing’s ability to know that this realm cultivates the primordial spirit already shows his profound knowledge.”
