Too Bad It's Gone, or I Could Have Seen Whether It Was Black
"It's probably because they don't have a physical body; otherwise, their cultivation level should have dropped."
Lu Changzhi glanced at it.
The items that drop are mostly martial arts techniques and skills, with array formations being the primary type.
It must be said that there are a lot of array formations, and perhaps because they are self-created, most of them are mastered to a perfect degree.
In addition, there is the power of the soul.
Lu Changzhi roughly sensed and calculated it.
If this soul power were given to Xiao Ye and Zhong Ming, it would undoubtedly bring them a great boost.
After all, these all originated from the souls of Saint Venerable experts.
"This is truly an unexpected bonus."
With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi gathered all his belongings and then walked toward the long stele.
This long stele is not a simple object either.
Otherwise, Chen Yibi's soul wouldn't still be so strong after all these years.
I raised my hand, placed it on it, and tried it out; it wasn't integrated with the tomb behind it.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared.
The entire monument was immediately incorporated into the system.
Then, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on the tombstone in front of him.
"This trip has proven to be more troublesome than expected."
Lu Changzhi sighed.
I had assumed that there was no life left in the tomb, or if there was, perhaps it had been weakened by the long years and could only settle its affairs.
However, neither of these scenarios occurred.
Chen Yibi's spirit can be described as vibrant and full of life.
However, his actions left him completely baffled.
"However, the goal was ultimately achieved."
With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi took out his tools and began digging.
A short while later, a body appeared before Lu Changzhi.
"Huh? It's actually quite well preserved."
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow and examined Chen Yibi's body inside the long coffin.
The physical body and the soul are not significantly different in appearance.
"But what is this?"
Lu Changzhi's gaze suddenly fell on Chen Yibi's chest.
There, covered by a long robe, he sensed something different beneath it.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi activated his spiritual power and lifted his robe.
When Lu Changzhi saw what lay beneath the long robe, his eyes narrowed instantly.
If the robe hadn't been removed, Chen Yibi's body appeared to be intact.
However, the reality is quite different.
Chen Yibi's body was divided into two parts, upper and lower.
The break was about a fist's width wide, located right on the chest. From left to right, it looked as if a piece was missing, appearing extremely strange.
"The missing part is right in the heart; no wonder it's a fatal wound of this magnitude..."
As they were talking, Lu Changzhi suddenly shook his head:
"No, this is the Saint Emperor. Although he is seriously injured, he is probably not dead yet."
Even Saint, whose heart has been damaged beyond repair, would indeed die instantly from a single blow.
Above the level of Saint, while it's not accurate to say that one can become invincible after shedding the physical body, one still possesses physical advantages due to sufficient cultivation and contact with the power of heaven and earth.
As long as the soul and body are not destroyed simultaneously, if only the body is severely injured, it is entirely possible to endure for a while longer and use external forces such as treasures and elixirs to heal.
Furthermore, if the soul has not suffered excessive damage, it is not impossible for the soul to leave the body and find a way to restore the physical body.
However, judging from the current situation...
There was no sign of recovery or healing whatsoever.
"So, he was killed with a single blow?"
Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.
He had initially thought Chen Yibi's lifespan had come to an end, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
"What kind of enemy must they have encountered to end up like this?"
It should be noted that Chen Yibi is Saint Emperor Realm expert.
Such a clean, crisp, and exaggerated injury...
Lu Changzhi glanced at the wound again.
Just as I was about to look away, I suddenly realized something.
Then, Lu Changzhi raised his hand and lifted Chen Yibi up by the waist.
Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Looking at the bodies at both ends, the lower half of the body was somehow pulled up along with the upper body.
It's clearly missing a section in the middle, yet it seems to still be there.
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, released his mental energy, focused it on the wound, and then his brow twitched:
"It seems to be the aura of spatial power?"
After carefully sensing the surroundings, Lu Changzhi roughly figured it out.
It's likely that Chen Yibi did consider healing, but the missing part of his body still retains a unique spatial power, preventing him from restoring his physical body to its complete state.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.
"The spatial force that caused this injury."
After some contemplation, Lu Changzhi did not reach a definite conclusion.
However, he suddenly remembered something and took out the relics from the Void Dao Manor, along with the jade talisman that Chen Yibi had just given him.
Chen Yibi said that the Void Dao Manor contains extremely strong spatial power, and if he cannot master the Dao of Space, he will surely not be able to return.
Now, let's consider his physical body.
That, on the contrary, seems somewhat suspicious.
Chen Yibi's reaction showed that he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Logically speaking, he would not have cooperated so much, let alone kindly reminded him.
This reminds me of the traps Chen Yibi set up for younger cultivators.
They make empty promises while simultaneously creating problems for others, leaving all their efforts for future generations futile.
Lu Changzhi glanced at Chen Yibi's body and gently shook his head:
"What a pity, this body no longer has a heart, otherwise I could have checked if it was black."
The matter with the Void Dao Manor is most likely a deliberate attempt by the other party to provoke them and trap them.
If Chen Yibi's injury truly originated from the Void Dao Manor, then given his current strength, it would undoubtedly be extremely risky.
Although he didn't know how yet, it didn't prevent him from roughly judging the extent of his mastery of spatial power required to cause the injury on Chen Yibi's body.
It's at least far beyond my current level.
Putting his thoughts aside, Lu Changzhi stopped thinking about it.
With a flash of light, Chen Yibi's body, along with the long coffin, was taken into the system.
After finishing his business here, Lu Changzhi looked around.
It must be said that Chen Yibi ruined things completely.
Perhaps this was the plan from the beginning; in any case, it's very clean.
"In that case, we should start thinking about those eight gates."
He had exerted himself eight times when he came, but this time, Lu Changzhi wasn't going to go through that much trouble.
The high platform atop the peak influences the energy support of the spatial barrier.
Lu Changzhi pondered it for a moment.
Then he picked a few spots and vandalized them.
A few breaths later, accompanied by faintly perceptible fluctuations, the spatial barriers disappeared one after another.
Apart from the initial spatial barrier used for concealment, everything else has disappeared.
The eight spatial barriers disappeared, leaving eight large gates standing abruptly.
"System?"
Lu Changzhi tried to greet him.
The system said as soon as he finished speaking:
I guessed it.
The system voice sounded, and then continued:
"Please wait a moment, Master."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Suddenly, a muffled explosion came from not far away, and dirt flew into the air in an instant.
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, then a smile appeared on his face.
The system didn't move the tombstone, but instead chose to desecrate Chen Yibi's grave.
After blasting the tomb into a crater, Lu Changzhi watched as the gates gradually disappeared.
"If these gates can be bypassed, then they basically won't trap anyone. However, if we were to find a way to build them into a cohesive whole, the workload would be..."
Lu Changzhi pondered softly, feeling a slight headache.
