Yu Qing Qian felt that she was swallowed by a force and fainted.
The feeling of landing woke Yu Qing Qian up from her coma. There was still a layer of cyan light on her body.
Then, the cyan light turned into a dull jade piece and fell into her hand.
Yu Qing Qian lifted her head and looked around. This was a barren valley, which was somewhat similar to the large canyon they explored before.
Just as she was about to stand, a stream of light emerged from the horizon in front of her, and Huo Li Ruo’s figure appeared in front of Yu Qing Qian.
“Why did you enter too?” Yu Qing Qian looked up at Huo Li Ruo in front of her in surprise.
Only those who possess the jade piece could enter the Land of Imprisonment without being affected by the seal. Could it be that Huo Li Ruo also had a jade piece?
Huo Li Ruo’s body gradually began to fade, and his voice was ethereal: “I only returned to the place where I truly belong.”
Yu Qing Qian’s eyes widened, shocked to see Huo Li Ruo’s body gradually fading, becoming transparent, and couldn’t resist asking with worry: “What’s happening to you?”
Huo Li Ruo’s lips raised into a devilish arc, “So you still care about me.
“I’m going to leave now. There will be no more Huo Li Ruo in this world from now on.” Huo Li Ruo’s body became completely transparent, and a ball of white, spectral light flew out of his body.
His ethereal and unbridled voice echoed in the sky: “Yu Qing Qian, we will meet again. You must live well in the Land of Imprisonment, otherwise everything would become nonsense.
“By the way, a reminder, the third small pagoda is in the Land of Imprisonment. Take care of yourself.”
Then the echoing voice disappeared into the sky along with the white, spectral ball of light.
Yu Qing Qian watched the ball of light disappear steadily. Huo Li Ruo’s body also truly dissipated. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
From the appearance of Huo Li Ruo to his disappearance, Yu Qing Qian had already realised that Huo Li Ruo was both Huo Li Ruo, yet not Huo Li Ruo.
Gu Yan’s heart energy had been spread outside, and he was stunned when he saw the scene just now, “So that kid’s a half-soul!”
Yu Qing Qian asked in confusion: “Master, what’s a half-soul?”
“It means only having half a soul. His main soul is actually in his original body.”
Gu Yan paused, explaining: “There was once an extinct secret technique in the advanced continent that could divide a person’s soul in half, then send it to reincarnate. When the other half of the soul is about to return to the original body, the body the half-soul reincarnated into will naturally disappear and be annihilated, never existing from then on.”
Yu Qing Qian furrowed her brows: “You mean Huo Li Ruo is the reincarnation of the other half of a person’s soul, and now he’s returned to his original body. So just like he said just now, there will be no more Huo Li Ruo in this world from now on?”
“Yes, no wonder that kid’s soul and cultivation have become so much stronger recently. So it turns out it was caused by the awakening of his memories.” Gu Yan sighed.
Yu Qing Qian’s eyes revealed complex feelings, “If I meet him again, will he no longer be the same person as before?”
“That’s for sure. Even his appearance and aura would be different.” Gu Yan said: “Although the memories of the original body will be affected after combining with the memories of the half-soul, but it still possesses the memories of the other half, so it will naturally no longer be that person.”
“Does it require a high level of strength to perform such a secret technique? Could it be that Huo Li Ruo’s original body is an old fellow?” Yu Qing Qian pursed her lips.
Gu Yan shook his head: “No, the secret technique is used to separate the half-soul when the original body is three years old, which means that Huo Li Ruo’s original body should be about the same age as Feng Chen. With his memory awakened, his cultivation base would also grow close to that of his original body. His original body’s cultivation base should be that of a Spirit Sovereign.”
