Chapter 142: Third-Tier Heavenly Formation
The owner of this remnant soul had been at Foundation Establishment in life, a realm far above Golden Egg's.
If Golden Egg rashly devoured it, the milder consequence would be having its intelligence thrown into confusion by the memories and resentment within the remnant soul.
In the worst case, the corpse's owner's lingering obsession would affect it, drastically changing its temperament or even sending it completely out of control.
After all, the gap between their cultivation levels was too great, and Divine Sense was not Golden Egg's forte.
"Gurgle."
Hearing Chen Beiwu's warning, Golden Egg changed its mind at the last moment. It condensed water into a spike and spat out a Water-Splitting Blade, transparent as glass, with water vibrating rapidly inside.
The water blade struck the ghost that had been split in two, setting off a string of steam explosions.
Well done. Chen Beiwu sheathed his sword.
The remnant soul inside the corpse had already been an arrow at the end of its flight.
Under his and Golden Egg's successive attacks, it vanished like smoke, returning to heaven and earth.
"Gurgle?"
Golden Egg turned toward the shattered window frame of the wooden cabin on the right, where another Jade-Scale Snake had suddenly appeared.
Leave it alone.
Patting Golden Egg's head, Chen Beiwu extended his Divine Sense toward the cabin.
Without the remnant soul inhabiting it, the corpse on the meditation cushion had lost all its spirituality. Only the Storage Ring on its finger still gleamed.
Chen Beiwu removed the Storage Ring and activated his Divine Sense.
As expected, just as the final message in the Jade Slip had stated, the Storage Ring bore a special restriction that Divine Sense alone could not overcome.
