That was Ben Biao's True Spirit.
Once a cultivator became a True Immortal, their primordial spirit would transform into a True Spirit. However, this form was only considered the True Spirit's first form—the primordial spirit state.
Since it was much like a primordial spirit, and could likewise be scattered by others, many people still called it a primordial spirit.
After this form was scattered, it would gather into a ball of light like Ben Biao's just now and enter reincarnation again. This was the True Spirit's second form—the reincarnation state.
Only genuine Great Dao-level power could destroy a True Spirit in its reincarnation state. Even cultivators at the highest realm currently known—Grand Luo—could not wield Great Dao-level power.
Cultivators could barely deploy Great Dao-level power with the help of formations, but a formation capable of destroying a True Spirit would have to be terrifyingly powerful.
Hua Yao and the others certainly had no such formation. They could only watch helplessly as Ben Biao's True Spirit entered reincarnation.
Perhaps he would awaken his memories in his next life and come back to kill them. Perhaps reincarnation would wear him away forever.
It would be far from easy for Ben Biao to come back for revenge. In this life, he had only reached the second heaven of the True Immortal realm. To awaken his memories, he would have to cultivate to at least the twelfth tier in his next life.
In the universe's cultivation environment, an ordinary person's chances of reaching the twelfth tier were only one in several hundred billion.
If Ben Biao reincarnated in a small world like Heavenmist World, those odds would be even lower.
So there was basically no need to worry about Ben Biao actually returning for revenge. If he really did return, they could only say
