The Soul Has Departed, Leaving Only the Fighting Body

【God Xiaoyao stood up from the beach and casually patted the sand off his body.】

【There was no aura of a supreme expert or the intimidating presence of a superior coming from him; he just felt like a friendly boy next door.】

【God Xiaoyao said with a smile.】

【"In the current environment of the Illusory Realm, it is truly surprising that you two managed to visit another world and return alive. Come, tell me what interesting things you've experienced over these past ten years."】

【God Xiaoyao seemed as though he was just engaging in everyday chitchat with you.】

【Wu Yue looked a bit nervous, recounting their experiences over the years in a rigid, matter-of-fact manner.】

【However, Wu Yue knew her limits. She didn't go into detail about you possessing a Great Dao Immortal Weapon or your absurdly powerful performances, glossing over them with just a single sentence.】

【You, on the other hand, were very relaxed, casually filling in some of the details Wu Yue missed.】

【After all, Wu Yue didn't have a photographic memory; she couldn't remember every single thing with perfect clarity.】

【"So it seems the Dragonkin's next target is indeed our Human Realm. The preparations made by the various domains of our Human Realm over these years, as well as the increased efforts in cultivating the next generation, have not been in vain."】

【You looked at Wu Yue, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to bring it up.】

【God Xiaoyao, however, hit the nail on the head.】

【"Chen Yi, Wu Yue is not your second sister."】

【God Xiaoyao stated your true name right away, leading you to guess that he was already very clear about your origins.】

【After all, since coming out of the Time Chamber, he had already come into contact with Shen Qingshan and Hua Wuyan.】

【"But..."】

【"Or to be more precise, the consciousness and soul inside this body do not belong to your second sister."】

【"What?"】

【God Xiaoyao's words were astonishing.】

【"Your second sister has already gone to the True Realm, but she left her physical body behind in the Illusory Realm."】

Seeing this, Chen Yi in the real world couldn't help but make a snarky comment.

"Is my second sister... Tiga?!"

What kind of plot is this, where the light returns to its homeland but leaves behind its fighting body?

"How could my second sister's soul and consciousness go to the True Realm?"

Chen Yi continued reading to find out the truth.

【God Xiaoyao told you that about fifty-one years ago, which was when you were eight years old.】

【Your second sister, Chen Yue, appeared in the Xiaoyao Holy Land alongside a miraculous giant eagle.】

【The giant eagle dropped her on an island and disappeared without a trace.】

【The people of the Holy Land took Chen Yue in and made her a disciple of Hundred Herbs Island.】

【This Hundred Herbs Island was the alchemy inheritance of the Xiaoyao Holy Land.】

【Chen Yue had excellent talent in both martial arts and alchemy, earning a lot of favor from the seniors of Hundred Herbs Island.】

【Although Chen Yue often said she wanted to go home, her masters comforted her, saying her homeland was too far from the Holy Land and she was still too weak. It wouldn't be too late to return once she had achieved success in her cultivation.】

【But the good times didn't last long.】

【Forty-two years ago, which was when you were seventeen.】

【God Xiaoyao, while inside the Time Chamber, unexpectedly heard a voice from the outside.】

【One must know that the flow of time inside and outside is different; under normal circumstances, voice transmission is impossible.】

【The other party's cultivation was unfathomably profound, definitely not an existence from the Illusory Realm, but certainly a titan from the True Realm.】

【It is extremely difficult to travel between the True Realm and the Illusory Realm, as there is a barrier far exceeding the strength of normal world walls.】

【If someone from the True Realm could affect anything in the Illusory Realm, this person's cultivation must be heaven-defying, and even in the True Realm, they would definitely be a top-tier expert.】

【However, even such a person could only create some influence in the Illusory Realm. They had no way to enter the Illusory Realm with their true body, much less use power that exceeded the limits of the Illusory Realm while inside it.】

【Worlds like the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Three-Headed Realm appear to be independent worlds, but in reality, they are all planes within the Illusory Realm.】

【As long as one has enough strength or a unique method, they can always travel back and forth.】

【But the Illusory and True Realms are truly two completely different worlds.】

【Even the legendary immortals could only leave behind legends; no one had ever truly seen them travel between the Illusory and True Realms.】

【"What did that existence say to you?"】

【"He wanted to take Chen Yue as his disciple."】

【"Take her as a disciple? Why?"】

【"Because Chen Yue has a special soul, the Nine Heavens Soul Spirit!"】

【A special soul, much like a special physique, is a racial talent unique to the human race.】

【It is also a randomized talent acquired through reincarnation.】

【But the rarity of a special soul is countless times higher than that of a special physique!】

【Just how rare is it?】

【I'm afraid even Hua Wuyan wouldn't know that the human race possessed such a thing as a special soul.】

【Only a figure from thirty thousand years ago like God Xiaoyao would have such insight.】

【At this moment, you felt infinitely emotional.】

【Your Chen family truly had one monstrous genius after another.】

【Your second sister, Chen Yue, had Heaven-tier innate bones, the Bright Moon Holy Physique, and even this Nine Heavens Soul Spirit!】

【Additionally, to be discovered by a big shot from the True Realm and taken as a disciple, her luck was absolutely maxed out.】

【"That mysterious expert from the True Realm couldn't take Chen Yue away entirely; he could only let Chen Yue cross between the Illusory and True Realms in soul form.

Therefore, Chen Yue had to die.

Before her soul could be reaped by the Underworld, that True Realm expert took action, crossing the two great worlds, and took Chen Yue away."】

【You listened in a daze.】

【"Divine Venerable, did that True Realm expert only need her soul? Without a physical body, how can my second sister exist in the True Realm?"】

【"The other party should reshape a physical body for her. As for whether she will still have her Heaven-tier innate bones and Bright Moon Holy Physique after her recovery, I have no way of knowing, and it's no longer a matter I can worry about."】

"Does that mean my second sister is already in the True Realm now?"

Chen Yue was taken away by the True Realm expert when Chen Yi was seventeen.

That year, Chen Yi was still bitterly carrying sandbags at the dock controlled by the Black Stone Gang.

Now, Chen Yi in the real world was already twenty years old.

His second sister had been gone for three years.

"I feel like my second sister's master is far from simple. If one day I go to the True Realm and can find my second sister..."

The King of Connections is still cooking!

【The True Realm expert wanted to take Chen Yue as his disciple.】

【The other party not only knew who the Holy Lord of the Xiaoyao Holy Land was, but also knew about the Time Chamber, and could even communicate with the Time Chamber despite the different flow of time.】

【What God Xiaoyao received was a notification from the other party.】

【Yes, a notification, not a negotiation.】

【"When I came out of the Time Chamber, Chen Yue was already dead; only her body was perfectly preserved by the people of my Holy Land using a secret technique.

I felt that the Holy Land had let this child down somewhat. After all, the True Realm and the Illusory Realm are truly two different worlds.

No matter what achievements she attains in the True Realm in the future, it is impossible for her to return.

So, to her family in this world, she is dead.

Because Chen Yue's cultivation realm was not high at the time, I was able to use a secret technique to transfer a soul into her corpse.

Allowing Chen Yue to live on in another way.

That soul also belonged to a disciple of my Holy Land who happened to die in an accident around that time.

This secret technique has flaws; the soul and the physical body can easily reject each other, leading to death once again.

Having no other choice, I reshaped a portion of her memories and warned the people in the Holy Land not to tell her the truth until the day her soul and flesh completely fuse together..."】
