Chapter 655 - Extraterrestrial Visitor (1/2)

Xin Huo remained silent within Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen Secret Realm while Zhong Yue went through his secret realm. None of his properties were lost and they were in the exact position they used to be.

Zhong Yue was right; he was teleported into this strange place and had probably been affected by the power of reincarnation, which most probably was that unknown power that hit him back then.

This also meant that he was now a native to this strange and forbidden ancient land.

But those things that he brought along with them wouldn't just disappear for no reason, he had confirmed this when he saw the copper lantern, he was merely denied access to these items for the time being since his secret realms were all sealed.

All he needed to do was just regain his cultivation again; his soul and Yuan Shen were still the same.

"Very likely," said Xin Huo while trying to avoid detection by the soul token, "But it is also possible that the time here and the time outside is different. The time flow on the outside is probably faster than the time flow here, perhaps it's only a short while on the outside even after we have been here for twenty eight days."

Hearing this, Zhong Yue quietened down and he started to think that this was highly possible; he once entered Hell for half a year and it had only been half a day in reality, a fact that would give credibility to Xin Huo's point.

I f that is how it is, Xin Huo musn't show himself yet or his presence will detected by the soul token.

Zhong Yue slightly let his guard down, now that he had achieved his secret realm once again, gotten access back to items like the soul token, he had no choice but to be careful.

But why hasn't my body returned? This body I have now is not mine so where is my own body?

He frowned,  I've been hit by the power of reincarnation and am now trapped in this place's cycle of reincarnation. This feels very similar to being reborn but different at the same time. This is probably because of the imperfection in the reincarnation power of the Ancient Land of Gods Grave, a proper Six Path Reincarnation will have other measures in place to erase all memories of their past life. I still have my Yuan Shen Secret Realm and even my items. When the Yuan Shen falls into darkness, one can reawaken it by recultivating it again, so where is my body now?

The Ancient Land of Gods Grave was a place used to experiment on the Six Path Reincarnation and since it was an experimental field, it was naturally different to the Six Path Reincarnation now.

That person who did the experiment had probably experimented on different scenarios, perhaps what he was ultimately researching were the mysteries of the Yuan Shen.

But if Zhong Yue really was reborn, then there would have been a body that belonged to him in the previous life. So where was his body?

Thinking of this, he moved his body and examined it; now, his body was cultivated into a level where it was rock solid. The structure of his bones had the appearance of jade with no impurities and one could see raw power contained within that body of his which looked like a soul weapon forged from top graded jade.

But as long as there was no flesh, Zhong Yue would never feel normal.

Perhaps this state of mine is just an illusion and my body is as normal as ever?

However, whether or not he was reborn or just in an illusion, he could not tell whether any of it was real or fake.

Maybe, just maybe if I achieved the immortal body again, I can return to normal?

Immediately, he made a decision and started advancing again,  Next level is the Atman Body level and upon achieving that, I can form my own Yuan Shen, entering Inner Core level and then the immortal body! Putting everything aside, cultivating here greatly benefited me in enhancing my Yuan Shen!

He continued walking towards the front, traveled miles and miles again, struck down skeleton Qi Practitioners he ran into, entered a few major cities where there were more skeleton Qi Practitioners that have their own conscious.

Here, these skeleton Qi Practitioners communicated with psyche for none of the skeletons could speak; upon their psyche touches or clashes, both parties would understand each other's intention.

And this meant that neither language nor word could be used, all Zhong Yue had to do was fight with these skeletons and try to obtain information or force these skeletons to submit.

Just as he thought, cultivating here provided a great advantage in enhancing Yuan Shen.

For each ghost fire Zhong Yue devoured, his Yuan Shen grew. The Yuan Shen was acknowledged as extremely difficult to cultivate and even in his "previous life", Zhong Yue's main problem was how to improve his Yuan Shen. Though he had greatly exceeded his limits, he also spent quite a bit of time to only see his Yuan Shen experience a very pitiful increase in strength.

And now, in just two months, he had cultivated the Spirit Body level, possessing a Yuan Shen that is a hundred feet tall and after performing Atman Body As One, he would turn into a huge white jade skeleton that looked very intimidating.

In his "previous life", his Yuan Shen was only 36 feet tall in the Atman Body As Onelevel and he only achieved a 100 metre tall Yuan Shen when he was in the Heavenly Dharma level. Now, he actually did it! He did not rush to advance further but instead, continued to suppress his strength, continuing to pump in purer and stronger energy into his Yuan Shen to carve, reforge, and refine the totem carvings, further enhancing his own.

Things did not end just like that; due to the differences in the laws of heaven and earth in this place, he tried to experiment and unveil the secrets of soul and techniques, attempting to create even more techniques.

Besides, the techniques cast by these skeleton Qi Practitioners were mostly soul type skills, but only certain ones had the capability to create supernatural phenomenal. These techniques provided lots of inspiration to Zhong Yue. However, due to how stiffly they cast their skills, there was a significant amount of essence missing in their techniques but their totem patterns were still very authentic and natural.

These skeletons had formed their own civilizations, built their own cities so there must be an even more advanced civilization in the deeper part of the plain !

Zhong Yue continued to travel forward and he figured,  The skeletons there must have skills even more advanced and exquisite, they are definitely going to benefit me greatly!

Soul type techniques belonged to the Six Path branch of techniques, they were a completely different category that only existed in Hell. As such, even for the likes of Bi and An, they only had a limited number of techniques such as the [Six Soul Banner] that they learned from one of the judges.

If he managed to obtain more soul type techniques here, it would be a huge gain for him.

As time passed, the amount of skeleton Qi Practitioners Zhong Yue ran into increased tremendously, and from this, he could tell that he had reached the heart of this place and passed white bone cities one after another.
