Enter My Gate

After all, this soul corpse had long since been buried and extinguished in ages beyond reckoning!

It possessed no true spirit; it was merely a ruin!

Now that ruin had been slightly activated by Li Qingyun, but what had been buried and extinguished was, in the end, gone forever, unable to "revive."

Strictly speaking, Li Qingyun—or Li Xuanji—was merely the product of a trace of aura from the mysterious soul corpse undergoing endless reincarnations.

Previously, Li Xuanji had effectively "died," becoming a ruined Daoist effigy within that desolate ancient temple.
