326: Shatter the sky, station the gods; ghost!

"Sui Kong (Shattering Space), nothing it can't destroy, nothing it can't ruin?"

"Paired with the Sky-Tearing trait, this sky is truly going to be torn apart by me."

Amidst his murmur, in the star-filled sky of the Soul's abode, a fragmented star completed its final imperfection.

As the feeling of Perfection arose, the celestial discs in the sky all began to tremble.

The Soul body, sitting cross-legged in the Soul's abode, appeared as overlapping afterimages, as if instantly splitting into tens of thousands of copies, then instantly rejoining into one.

With a sudden enlightenment, Yang Dian focused his thoughts on the Soul body, controlling the Soul to rise.

"Du?"

Under Dudu's puzzled gaze, myriad stars in the sky converged, and 130,000 stars merged into 13 colossal stars.

Then, 13 transparent phantoms walked out from Yang Dian's body, stepped into the sky, entered those 13 giant stars, and sat cross-legged at their cores.

After that, with a thought from Yang Dian, the thirteen giant stars instantly vanished.

In the Chaos sky of the Soul's abode, only a few thousand scattered stars remained, dotting the high heavens.

His consciousness left the Soul's abode, and Yang Dian introspected his body.

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys—the five Zang organs; gallbladder, stomach, large and small intestines, bladder, San Jiao—the six Fu organs; the Crimson Palace below the heart, the Qi Sea below the navel—all had a warm sensation.

Feeling the solid sensation emanating from the depths of his Soul, Yang Dian slowly exhaled.

"It seems I can still live even if my head is cut off?"

Star Gazing Art's new trait: Spirit stationed (Spirit stationed means Spirit Stationed).

Spirit stationed in the heart, undying and imperishable.

From now on, Yang Dian's Soul was still one, but it projected 13 Soul phantoms.

The phantoms were stationed within the body, so even if the main Soul died, as long as a phantom remained, he could switch places with the Soul phantom.

In short, Yang Dian's five Zang and six Fu organs, as well as his lower Dantian, could all serve as the Soul's abode.

If his head was cut off, the Soul residing in the Purple Mansion could swap positions with any of the 13 Soul phantoms in the five Zang and six Fu organs or the lower Dantian, allowing him to COS Xing Tian and continue fighting.

He could even subjectively control the Soul phantoms, using them to control his severed head to fly up and bite people.

After the battle, he could pick up his head, place it back on his neck, and after the wound healed, he would be whole again.

Even if his head was annihilated like the Lizardman God's, he could slowly recover through his super strong regenerative abilities.

Moreover, he didn't have the Lizardman God's limitation of losing control over his body after losing his head.

"Right now, it's only limited immortality."

"If the Soul and all 13 Soul phantoms are gone, I'll still die."

"But if in the future, every cell in my body can have a Spirit stationed."

"Will I then be able to achieve Rebirth from a drop of blood, becoming truly undying and imperishable?"

After fantasizing about a future where he could casually roam the Universe, dropping a single drop of blood in various corners, Yang Dian reined in his thoughts and focused on the present.

The future is the future, the present is the present.

Since he couldn't achieve true immortality now, he couldn't be too reckless.

He casually pulled out his phone from his spatial ring, intending to send a few messages to Lei Ming, when over a dozen messages popped up on his phone first.

Half an hour ago, Lei Ming had already started sending him messages repeatedly.

"Daoist Qingfeng and the others encountered an accident in the underground world."

Along with the message, there was also a photo.

The handwriting in the photo was messy, most characters' strokes were illegible, like meaningless scribbled symbols.

Only the character " ghost" (Ghost) at the very bottom was exceptionally clear.

"Based on the smart brain's analysis of Bai Zhi's past writing sequence and inspection of the paper, we found that she intended to write the four characters: [Don't come, there's a ghost!]."

"There might be unknown life forms in the underground world, so don't rush in yet."

"Damn it, did you go in, kid? Answer me!"

"You better not die in there, I don't want to raise your sister!"

After casually reading the messages from Lei Ming, Yang Dian looked down at Lei Ming, who was anxiously pacing on the city wall, then moved and landed beside him:

"Uncle Lei, what are you so anxious about? I haven't gone down yet."

Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yang Dian's voice:

"If you haven't gone down, why didn't you send me a message first?"

Yang Dian spread his phone:

"I just finished organizing my gains, that's why I just took out my phone."

As he spoke, he took the paper Lei Ming handed him.

The moment he saw the paper, Yang Dian felt an instinctive discomfort.

It was like encountering a natural enemy, or like a rat from a sewer was lurking in the dark, watching him sinisterly, making him feel a chilling sense of dread.

After looking at it for a while, he also noticed that the characters on the paper seemed to squirm and flow, as if about to weep blood.

Seeing that he looked a bit off, Lei Ming quickly said:

"Don't stare at the characters on the paper for too long. The characters on it have mental pollution; staring too long will cause hallucinations."

Yang Dian blinked, and the Qi and blood in his body surged slightly. The cold sensation instantly disappeared, and the characters returned to their original state.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear a scream filled with endless misery emanating from the paper, disappearing between heaven and earth.

Handing the paper back to Lei Ming, Yang Dian continued:

"Uncle Lei, if you look at the characters on it again, will you still experience hallucinations?"

Lei Ming took the paper, frowning as he stared at the characters for a moment.

Then he asked, puzzled:

"What did you do, kid? Why is that cold sensation gone, and the hallucinations too?"

Yang Dian chuckled:

"According to myths and legends, ghosts are Yin, and humans are Yang."

"If ghost Qi overwhelms a person, the person is 'ghost-covered'."

"If a person's Qi surpasses a ghost, the ghost is harmed by the human's Qi."

"I don't know what's causing trouble in the underground world, but I know that Qi and blood restrain it, and fire also restrains it."

"It can't even withstand the Qi and blood fire element power overflowing from my body."

Lei Ming blinked.

"Qi and blood?"

"Fire element?"

Yang Dian spread his right hand, bending his fingers upwards as if to grasp something.

The next moment, a point of crimson flame appeared in his palm, then rapidly expanded, encompassing Yang Dian's entire palm in fire in a moment, and shooting up about a meter high.

Facing the blazing Qi and blood flames, Lei Ming instinctively took two steps back, then looked down at the singed hair on his arm.

"Is this the power of Qi and blood fire element?"

"Did you undergo a second or third Awakening?"

After his surprise, he began to seem matter-of-fact:

"You've eaten so many heaven and earth treasures, it's normal to awaken a hundred or eighty more abilities, let alone a second or third Awakening."

Yang Dian clenched his fist.

As he extinguished the flames, he added:

"It's not an Awakening, it's Martial Dao."

Lei Ming's eyes widened:

"Are you telling me this is Martial Dao?"

Yang Dian nodded, but didn't explain too much.

After all, the Old Daoist was still trapped below, and Yue Shan's fate was unknown.

"It is indeed Martial Dao, but I'll explain the specifics when I get back."

"Right now, I need to go find Daoist Qingfeng and Uncle Yue."

"Uncle Lei, you don't need to worry about me. I won't get into trouble. Once I save Bai Zhi, I'll have her send you a message."
