Volume 7: The Origin of Enlightenment Chapter 986 Familiar Soul Shadow!
Li Xuanfeng vaguely realized that the Lord of Reincarnation's Hall of Reincarnation seemed to be helping him integrate into a gray vortex. When this gray vortex appeared, his consciousness would appear at the same time.
It is precisely because he follows a gray vortex representing reincarnation that Li Xuanfeng can see the reincarnation and rebirth of souls that ordinary cultivators cannot see at all.
And as Li Xuanfeng gradually gained more understanding of reincarnation, the scene he saw following the gray vortex gradually expanded.
Not long after, Li Xuanfeng witnessed a large-scale war in the mortal kingdom, which was a war between two countries.
One country, which had become extremely powerful due to decades of rapid development, had the ambition to annex its neighbor and launched this war.
At this time, both sides sent out hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in a vast plain.
The sounds of fighting and shouting reached the sky, and the ear-piercing sounds of metal clashing kept echoing. The scene on the plain suddenly became extremely tragic.
A large number of broken limbs and arms flew up and fell to the ground, and hot blood spurted out, quickly dyeing the ground red.
A large number of soldiers died under the enemy's long swords and became corpses on the plain.
As a large number of soldiers died, a large number of souls suddenly rose into the air and rushed towards the huge gray vortex that appeared above the clouds.
This gray vortex is nearly a thousand feet in size. If one could see it, it would surely shock countless cultivators.
Because the fighting among the armies below was so brutal, people were dying almost every moment, causing the number of souls rising into the air to be endless.
Despite this, the huge gray vortex did not become unable to accommodate any souls. It was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up all the souls as if they were absorbing spiritual energy.
Li Xuanfeng's expression couldn't help but be moved. Even though he had been practicing for two hundred years, he had never seen such a large death scene.
In just half an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers had died and turned into rising souls into the gray vortex.
Even though Li Xuanfeng had killed countless people and was cruel, he still felt a little bit sorry and wanted to stop the war.
Although Li Xuanfeng had seen cultivators and mortals fall and enter reincarnation before, he knew that this was the normal cycle between heaven and earth and had no intention of intervening.
But just as Li Xuanfeng was about to mobilize the spiritual power between heaven and earth to separate the soldiers of the two countries, he immediately discovered that he was unable to do it at all.
He was unable to mobilize his spiritual energy, nor could he condense any magic. Like a mortal, he could only watch from the sky what was happening below.
Or to put it more bluntly, Li Xuanfeng at this moment was like these rising souls, unable to make any move at all.
Although Li Xuanfeng's consciousness had appeared with the gray vortex many times before, he had never tried and did not realize that his current state was like a soul rising into the air, unable to make any move at all.
Thinking of this, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. Could it be that he had fallen without knowing it, just like these dead creatures, with only a soul left to enter reincarnation?
It was not until an hour later that the generals of the two countries ordered a temporary retreat, and the brutal fighting was temporarily stopped.
At this time, the total number of dead soldiers on both sides had reached 100,000. The ground was already a river of blood, and the originally yellow land had been completely dyed black and red.
However, at this time, Li Xuanfeng's consciousness was no longer paying attention to the tragedy on the ground. Instead, he fell into deep confusion, and deeply doubted whether his guess was correct.
If you have already died unconscious, no matter how much you understand reincarnation, it will be useless. I am afraid that this is only a temporary ability to see the reincarnation of others, and you will soon lose consciousness completely in the reincarnation.
After seeing a large number of living beings enter samsara and rebirth after death, Li Xuanfeng had long discovered that these souls still had a little consciousness when they entered samsara after death, but the souls at the time of rebirth seemed to be completely new and without any consciousness.
Moreover, I don’t know if reincarnation is really possible!
Although he had seen a large number of souls enter reincarnation or rebirth, Li Xuanfeng had never found the same soul in the two situations.
Perhaps, before reincarnation, consciousness will be completely erased, and even the appearance of the soul may change!
Until he disappeared together with the gray vortex, Li Xuanfeng still hadn't come out of this thought, and his consciousness had become even more confused.
Although Li Xuanfeng's consciousness still appeared from time to time with the gray vortex, he was more focused on thinking about the doubts in his heart rather than watching the souls of these creatures enter reincarnation or rebirth.
He remembered what the Lord of Reincarnation had said. It was extremely dangerous to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Not only was it easy to lose consciousness in it, it was also possible to die without realizing it and truly be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation.
Could it be that I have fallen into the worst situation now?
Moreover, he had no physical body at this time, only a consciousness, and was completely unable to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, making it impossible for him to verify whether his guess was correct.
As he fell into confusion, Li Xuanfeng no longer noticed how many times he appeared with the gray vortex, and he didn't even observe the process of the soul of a living being entering reincarnation or rebirth.
Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng didn't know how many times his consciousness appeared with the gray vortex, nor did he know how much time had passed. He even gradually felt that his consciousness was beginning to blur.
But at this moment, Li Xuanfeng was still completely immersed in his previous thoughts, as if he didn't notice anything at all.
This is an extremely critical situation. If Li Xuanfeng's consciousness becomes increasingly blurred and eventually completely dissipates, even if he has not died, he will completely enter the cycle of reincarnation. I am afraid that he will completely forget who he is and eventually become just a soul in the cycle of reincarnation.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xuanfeng suddenly felt a vague sense of familiarity.
Feeling this familiar feeling, Li Xuanfeng's originally extremely scattered consciousness suddenly condensed slightly, and he immediately turned his head to look.
Li Xuanfeng saw a gray vortex slowly rotating next to him. Suddenly, it spit out three white lights at once and rushed towards the ground below.
Li Xuanfeng knew that this was the process of reincarnation, and he immediately looked carefully, trying to find out where the faint sense of familiarity came from.
As the three white lights split into three directions as they flew downwards, Li Xuanfeng soon discovered that this faint familiar breath followed one of the white lights.
Li Xuanfeng immediately continued to look intently, and instantly saw the shadow of the soul in the white light, and his heart was suddenly shocked!
This soul shadow made Li Xuanfeng feel quite familiar!
Even though the aura of this soul had changed a lot and the appearance of the soul shadow was only 80% similar, Li Xuanfeng still recognized it instantly. It was someone he had killed before!
That was Cheng Ping, the leader of the Corpse Demon Cult who originally existed in the Lingling Continent on Duling Star!
At this time, Cheng Ping's soul shadow no longer had the strong demonic energy that was contaminated by the refining of the corpse demon, and only a faint breath of spiritual power remained.
It was this spiritual energy that made Li Xuanfeng suddenly feel a faint sense of familiarity.
After seeing a large number of souls enter reincarnation and rebirth, Li Xuanfeng was already 80% certain that the souls of people who practiced cultivation would be contaminated with a faint aura of spiritual energy, which was slightly different from the souls of ordinary people.
Perhaps this kind of spiritual energy will enable them to have better qualifications after reincarnation, and their cultivation speed will be increased.
The appearance of this soul shadow was only 80% similar to Cheng Ping at the beginning, so much so that Li Xuanfeng almost thought it was just a similar soul.
But based on the appearance of this soul shadow, coupled with the slightly familiar spiritual aura, Li Xuanfeng was immediately completely certain that this was the reincarnation of Cheng Ping!
When he killed Cheng Ping, he was only at the Spirit God Realm and was unable to destroy his soul, so it was completely normal for him to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
However, at this time, the shadow of Cheng Ping's soul looked confused, and it was obvious that he had no memory at all. He was just a reincarnated soul without any consciousness.
Li Xuanfeng never thought that he would meet Cheng Ping again like this.
It was also when he saw the shadow of Cheng Ping's soul that Li Xuanfeng's mind became extremely clear, as if he had finally seen a ray of light after walking in a dark cave for a long time.
Li Xuanfeng woke up instantly, his mind became extremely firm, and an astonishing gleam flashed in his eyes.
Even though he still couldn't be sure whether he had fallen or in what state he was following the gray vortex, all these could be put aside for the time being.
In Li Xuanfeng's current state, there would be no progress at all by thinking hard about this problem, because he might not be able to find a way to verify it.
The most important thing now is to understand reincarnation. When you see through reincarnation, you will naturally be able to fully understand your current situation.
Thinking of this, the confusion in Li Xuanfeng's consciousness suddenly disappeared completely, and he was even clearer than when he first came into contact with reincarnation.
At this time, Cheng Ping's soul had entered the belly of a mother bear and became a bear fetus in her belly. It would be born after a few months.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but feel complicated. In the past, he and Cheng Ping were sworn enemies and would never stop fighting until one of them died. But now, it can be said that he had received his help inadvertently and was able to wake up from his confusion.
When the gray vortex began to disappear, Li Xuanfeng remembered the location of this place deeply.
If there is a chance in the future, Li Xuanfeng will try his best to find this place, but he is not here to kill Cheng Ping completely, but to see the changes of reincarnation.
Judging from Cheng Ping's extremely peaceful expression, he has completely forgotten the memories of his previous life. It can be said that he has become two completely different people.
Moreover, the destruction of the entire Corpse Demon Cult back then was already a way for them to atone for their deep sins.
As long as Cheng Ping does not become a cruel and ruthless demon cultivator who harms innocent people again in the future, Li Xuanfeng will not attack him again even if he finds him.
As his thoughts turned, Li Xuanfeng's consciousness suddenly disappeared along with the gray vortex, and no one knew where it went.
