His Majesty really was reassuringly cautious! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Seeing that the Dragon Emperor had been reduced to ashes and even those ashes had been sealed, Wu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Your Majesty, aren't you being a little too careful? Still, with all these seals, the Dragon Emperor must be as dead as dead can be, right?"

Li Chen shook his head, his expression still solemn. "We're not finished."

Wu Nanzhi did not quite understand. At her level of cultivation, someone counted as dead once their head fell to the ground. How could he still be alive after all this?

Still, she said nothing more and quietly watched Li Chen work.

Having spoken, Li Chen began the next part of the task.

Although the Dragon Emperor had died, Li Chen knew that some Saint Realm experts would never be so easily extinguished for good.

He recalled his first encounter with Tuoba Zhen, who had been able to escape through his divine soul and revive even after his body had died.

To eliminate any possibility of the Dragon Emperor reviving, Li Chen decided to refine everything here.

Seeing his beloved consort's curious expression, Li Chen began explaining to her as well, since he had nothing else to occupy him.

"Saint Realm cultivators have powerful divine souls. Even after their bodies are destroyed, a strand of their 'divine soul' can remain, hiding in some inconspicuous corner and using an object as a vessel while waiting for a 'fated person' to help them revive."

As Li Chen spoke, he raised his hand and activated the formations.

He had discovered all this while studying ancient texts.

It was just like the Saint Remnant Soul in Xiao Ming's necklace.

If someone encountered a malicious remnant soul, it might even directly seize the body of its 'fated person.'
