In Prince Rui's blood, Achi, the spirit of maple, is frantically absorbing the vitality of this body.
Even if the body of a cultivator in the Chengyuan realm dies, his lifespan and essence are still there. However, with the death of the physical body, these things are rapidly dissipating. Achi felt that he had only absorbed a hundred years of lifespan, and the vast majority of the remaining lifespan and essence had naturally disappeared in the world.
Zhe Rang Achi felt very distressed, but he could do nothing. After hurriedly absorbing the useful part, he was about to leave this body, but he felt an invisible wave in the air. Achi curiously poked his little head out from Prince Rui's sleeve and looked up, only to see a body shadow exactly like Prince Rui appear in the air!
Achi was panicked for a moment, thinking that Prince Rui was resurrected with his new body, but then he found that Prince Rui was not resurrected. The shadow that appeared in the air was Prince Rui's soul, but the other party's soul was now extremely weak and on the verge of dissipating.
"This elixir is truly vicious! It actually wants to kill both my body and soul. Luckily, I have a spiritual weapon that can protect my soul, so I'm lucky enough not to die completely, but it's almost as bad as death..."
Prince Rui had an ugly expression on his face, his soul flickered in the air, and it looked like he was about to disappear. Frightened, he immediately hid in a spiritual weapon on the ground. It was this spiritual weapon that protected his soul from dissipating. He thought to himself: If my son had any filial piety, he would definitely come to look for my body and take away the spiritual weapon on the ground... This would be equivalent to taking me away.
Prince Rui's soul was so weak that he couldn't possess another person's body, but he could survive by relying on a spiritual artifact. Possession was a matter of great caution. Prince Rui disdained to possess an ordinary body. He wanted to possess someone with exceptional talent and aptitude, but such a person was difficult to find. Secondly, Prince Rui's eyes were not humanoid spiritual detectors, so he couldn't tell the aptitude of each person's body. Finally, given his current frail state, he could only possess an ordinary person, not a cultivator...
“If Zhan’er could be more promising, he could help me take over the body of a powerful cultivator…” Prince Rui sighed.
Just as his soul was about to fall into a deep sleep, he suddenly felt a strange movement in his body. Turning around, he saw a translucent fiery red figure running out from his sleeve!
The figure was only the size of a palm, with fiery red hair and bloodshot eyes. He was wearing tight dark red clothes and had a strange and dark aura. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
Prince Rui was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a ghost thing hidden in his body. Could it be... Could it be that it was not the problem of the elixir, but that there was a hidden danger in his body. When he took the elixir to advance, this little thing with red hair and red eyes took the opportunity to tamper with his body, which eventually led to his failure to advance and his physical death?
Prince Rui was not sure which link had the problem. He felt that the little thing in front of him looked very much like the Maple Spirit, but it was not a short-lived race like the Maple Spirit... Just as he was thinking about it, the Maple Spirit flew past him and left quickly.
Prince Rui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: This maple spirit must have gone to find its master!
And the other party's master is very likely the biggest culprit who killed him!
"Oh no! If the murderer gets here first and finds out I'm not dead, he'll probably harm my soul and kill me completely. If Zhan'er gets here first and encounters the murderer while collecting my body... wouldn't Zhan'er be in danger then?"
The best outcome would be for Yuan Zhan to arrive and clean up all traces as quickly as possible, leaving before the Master of Maple Spirit arrives. However, this is impossible, as mortals are no faster than cultivators. In order to prevent Yuan Zhan from falling into danger, Yuan Zhan must be quickly told not to come over.
Prince Rui was extremely anxious and ran out of the spiritual weapon immediately. Even if his soul was torn to pieces, he would not let his only bloodline in the world be in danger. Prince Rui was now a weak spirit, and basically no one could see him. His son was just an ordinary man and could not see him even more. Therefore, Prince Rui planned to use the method of sending a message to his son in his dreams, but he was too weak and had to stand by his son's bed to send a message to his son in his dreams. Just when Prince Rui was about to return to the small courtyard in the capital to inform his son, he was shocked to find that his spirit could not leave the range of Baishan at all!
"My soul relies on that spiritual weapon to exist. The spiritual weapon has a limited range, covering only the entire Baishan Mountain and cannot extend further. I can't do anything now... Damn it..."
Prince Rui paced back and forth angrily on the edge of the White Mountain, but he was unable to leave. Moreover, because he was far away from the spiritual weapon, his soul had begun to dissipate, and his feet became transparent. Prince Rui looked down at his feet and had to return to the spiritual weapon unwillingly.
…
…
Yuan Zhan woke up with a start, feeling as if boiling water had been poured over his palm, scalding it completely and completely waking him from sleep. "Who is plotting against this prince..."
Yuan Zhan was awakened from his sweet dream and was furious. He looked down at his right palm and found that two red "heart" patterns slowly emerged on his palm. The left one represented himself and the right one represented his father. At this moment, the heart representing his father was completely shattered. Soon, the heart talisman became ineffective, the palm pattern disappeared, and the pain also disappeared.
"Father..."
Something happened to my father!
Yuan Zhan was shocked. At this moment, a lazy and gentle voice came from the side, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
