Is there a way?
What can be done?
Could it be possible to shrink Shen-zin Su into an ordinary little sea turtle?
At this moment, all eyes were on Jiang Jie, and Shen-zin Su's voice clearly wavered. "Humans, a hardworking and intelligent race, and also the most complex race... What can you do?"
"There's actually more than one method," Jiang Jie said with a light laugh.
"More than one?" The group looked at each other in disbelief. How could that be?
Ji Huozhang immediately exclaimed, "Jiang! You really have a solution? I've racked my brains but can't think of anything! Hmm, Shen-zin Su is quite pitiful, but Wandering Isle can't be sunk, and Shen-zin Su so big, if it came ashore, wouldn't it collapse the mountain?"
"Ji, keep quiet and listen to Master Jiang." Aysa glanced at Ji Fire Palm, and the little panda was overjoyed, feeling immensely pleased.
"If Shen-zin Su is willing to relinquish this body, you can find a Archmage or Legendary mage proficient in soul magic to extract Shen-zin Su soul and inject it into a small tortoise, or even create a new body for you directly. I know people who can do this, and I'm confident I can get them to do it, but whether they can actually do it is another matter," Jiang Jie said.
Krasus's spellcasting abilities are considerable, but the Shen-zin Su has lived for eight hundred years, his body nourishing his soul, making his soul extremely powerful. Jiang Jie believes that Krasus might not be able to separate his soul from his own; perhaps the Red Dragon Queen could?
"Without a soul, this body can no longer swim, and Wandering Isle will sink to the bottom of the sea." Shang Xi could respond, Master Shen-zin Su said calmly, "Jiang, what's the second method?"
"The second method," Jiang Jie held up two fingers, "Is a dark magic technique that can split Senior Shen-zin Su's soul in two. However, it's not easy to find someone who knows this forbidden technique; we might have to wait a while."
Black Dragon is undoubtedly a master in this field. Onyxia, the Black Dragon Girl, is skilled in this spell. Her Nefarian and father Deathwing should also be skilled in this spell. Of course, it's impossible to ask them to do so.
However, Jiang Jie felt that Medivh had once been possessed by Sargeras, and as a top-tier mage and Warlock, he had a deep understanding of souls. Perhaps he could ask him for help. If Medivh was unwilling to help, perhaps the Book of Medivh also contained spells related to this.
However, killing Kel'Thuzad, seizing the Book of Medivh, and then teaching Anveena or someone else such a spell would take a very long time, perhaps a year or two.
"This method sounds good, but I don't want to make a mess of my soul." Shen-zin Su's voice rang out. "Is there any other way, young human?"
Jiang Jie smiled, then extended his third finger, looking at Master Shang Xi: "As far as I know, Pandaren Monk possess the Transcendence, and the Zen Pilgrimage technique?"
" Transcendence? Zen Pilgrimage? What are those?" Ji Huozhang leaned closer and asked curiously.
"This is an ability only Monk can master. It allows the soul to briefly leave the body and then return. It's said that Monk Grandmaster can travel throughout Pandaria directly in soul form and return to the body in a very short time," Aysa explained, then said, "This knowledge is all in the library. Ji, you should read more books; you can't just sleep in class all the time."
Ji Huozhang blushed.
" Aysa is right." Master Shang Xi asked, "Jiang, do you want Shen-zin Su to learn Pandaren martial arts?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Pandaren can practice martial arts, Hozen can practice martial arts, other races can practice martial arts, and turtles certainly can too. However, if Senior Shen-zin Su were to practice martial arts, I'm afraid Wandering Isle would be plagued by earthquakes and tsunamis every day, which wouldn't do," Jiang Jie laughed. "I can teach Shen-zin Su the methods of cultivating divinity."
"The method of cultivating divinity?" Master Shang Xi thought for a moment, then asked, "Jiang, is this what you called the realm after the Xiantian Realm?"
"Yes." Jiang Jie nodded and said, "Senior Shen-zin Su's soul and spirit are extremely powerful."
One can directly cultivate their spirit and soul, strengthening them to the level equivalent to Four Celestials. In this way, one can travel to every corner of the world in spirit form at any time, just like the Four Celestials. And the Pandaren will also gain an additional celestial god. Martial artists first cultivate their physical body and then their soul. When the soul becomes strong enough, it is not impossible to temporarily leave the physical body, or even exist purely in the form of a soul. This is equivalent to the level of Legendary, or even Wild God.
After Medivh and Illidan died, their souls both wandered in the Twisting Nether, a feat made possible by their immense power. Khadgar, when he was dragged into the Twisting Nether by the immense energy from closing the Dark Portal, survived only because he learned the art of soul walking from Medivh, eventually encountering the Naaru and returning to Outland.
The Loa, whom the Troll worship, are generally powerful souls, and the Wild God are among the most powerful. Their souls are even bound to the Emerald Dream, and as long as the Emerald Dream exists, they have a chance to be resurrected and return to Azeroth.
The Dreadlord can possess and manipulate Dathrohan or others, which is due to the power of his soul.
Demons can regenerate infinitely in the Twisting Nether, regardless of the strength of their souls; it's mainly due to the characteristics of the Twisting Nether. Of course, demon souls are never too weak.
The so-called "powerful souls" are basically all Legendary.
Ordinary ghosts and spirits don't count; those are low-level beings that exist only by relying on death energy or magical binding, and cannot be compared to the former.
Shen-zin Su has lived for eight hundred years. Even an eight-hundred-year-old sow can climb trees. People say that old monsters are old monsters. Animals that live a long time become monsters, or even " Shen-zin Su?
His soul was absolutely Legendary; what he lacked was an understanding of the soul and the methods to cultivate it.
Once he learns this method, with his abilities, he can certainly exist independently as a soul, no weaker than those wild spirits that have lived for millions of years, and it's not impossible for him to even reach the level of Wild God.
This is the benefit of cultivating divinity.
There's nothing unbelievable about it, because mages, Warlock, Druid, and even other classes all have similar methods. Otherwise, how would Druid traverse the Emerald Dream? Really by dreaming? You're dreaming!
"Jiang, can you teach me this method?" Master Shang Xi asked hurriedly.
Even with his Grandmaster demeanor, he was somewhat impatient.
It's a good thing that we can help Shen-zin Su fulfill her wish and also protect Wandering Isle.
And it would be even better if the Pandaren could have a fifth Celestial!
When Master Shang Xi was young, he left the Wandering Isle and traveled to other places. He knew that the world was not as safe as he imagined, and that Shen-zin Su was not truly immune to being discovered.
In fact, over the past eight hundred years, the Pandaren have discovered traces of the Murloc and Naga more than once. The Murloc, in particular, are ubiquitous creatures throughout the ocean, and nothing can escape their sight. This is how Jiang Jie found Shen-zin Su.
Most importantly, during his conversation with Jiang Jie, Master Shang Xi heard Jiang Jie mention that the world was once again facing numerous disasters. The appearance of the Scourge and the Burning Legion threatened the safety of the Wandering Isle and even Pandaria, and some of these beings were even more terrifying than the Four Celestials!
The Pandaren really need more Keeper.
"Of course not now. Although I know the method of cultivating divinity, with my current abilities, I cannot pass it on to Senior Shen-zin Su. After all, Senior Shen-zin Su does not understand Chinese Martial Arts, and I do not understand Senior Shen-zin Su's body. You know, any cultivation method must be adjusted to different degrees for different beings."
Jiang Jie laughed and said, "So, in order for me to grow up as quickly as possible, and in order for Senior Shen-zin Su to realize his wish soon... Senior Shen-zin Su, let me get to know you better!"
