Chapter 578: Becoming a Spirit (2/2)

By his side was Lan sitting on a tree stump. He had his eyes closed as his head rested against a log behind him. While he was clearly not sleeping, he, too, seemed to be enjoying the breath of life that was surrounding him.

Mo Lian and the branch leader were both lying on the ground. Their consciousness was clearly lost. Their bodies were made from energy, but their previous dim aura seemed to become more and more energized.

It was clear that their bodies were being constantly nourished by the life energy, and Xue Wei could not help but look at the process with a bit of admiration. The swift adaptation that their bodies were going through was beyond his expectations.

After witnessing their bodies' rapid changes for a while, Xue Wei finally collected his mind and looked towards Lan.

”You should be able to locate Hei Gou and the others, right?”

Lan lazily opened his eyes and straightened his back. He nodded his head, and looked to the right.

”I picked this location as your friends will arrive here within a day or two. They are currently moving this way, so, depending on their speed, we will soon reunite with them.”

Xue Wei nodded his head. He was not certain whether the time flowed at the same speed in this world as it did in the Ghost Realm, and thus he did not know how long they had been gone.

However, he was completely certain that his friends would have been waiting for his return, and he was eager to see them again.

”Mo Lian and that other ghost are in the middle of becoming spirits.” Lan suddenly explained the reason for the changes Xue Wei had seen in the two ghosts previously.

”A ghost is made from a different type of energy than the spirits in this world, but in theory they are pretty much the same. However, they lacked life force in the other world, so they could never sustain their bodies with cultivation alone. They were in need of something to keep them alive, and that was why they were absorbing each other.

”Now that they are here, they will have access to both spiritual energy, but also life force. It is going to be easy for them to live in this world. I will follow you, since the one behind the scenes is still in the dark, and if Mo Lian wishes to follow us, then she is welcome; otherwise, she can chase her own dreams for some time.”
