Chapter 1213 - Where is My Soul?

"Didn't succeed?" Bian Fengta asked desperately.

Teng Yi nodded. "Yes, but Feng Xi shouldn't be blamed. It was because Li Hun's father, Li He, suddenly wanted to see his daughter after about a month—less than half the usual time. For some reason, he came to Bright Moon City without telling Feng Xi, beat all the guards, and charged into Feng Xi's solitary cultivation place. When he saw his daughter sleeping beside Feng Xi, he flew into a rage. His daughter didn't even have a soul, yet this Feng Xi was sleeping with her."

Bian Fengta asked, "This was Feng Xi using his own soul to nourish Li Hun's soul, right?"

Teng Yi nodded. "I believe so too. Li He probably misunderstood and slapped Feng Xi aside. Carrying his daughter, he pointed at Feng Xi while spitting blood, 'You, you…'"

Teng Yi sighed, "Then Li He didn't kill Feng Xi because of his relationship with his father. He simply took his daughter and left the Heartless Sea. However, Feng Xi's soul was already residing on Li Hun's body to nourish it, so when Li He took Li Hun, he did not kill Feng Xi; instead, Feng Xi was left without a soul. That was the same as being dead."

Bian Fengta sighed, not knowing how to comment on this tragedy.

Ye Mo looked at Teng Yi in confusion. "That Li He should at least be a Truth Realization stage cultivator, right?"

Teng Yi nodded. "Yes, I heard that Li He and Feng Chun were both Truth Realization-stage cultivators, very powerful ones."

Ye Mo didn't believe that. "A truth-realization state can't see a Soul-Nourishing Formation?"

Ye Mo didn't believe that a cultivator in the Ancient Truth Realization State wouldn't be able to recognize a Soul Nourishing Formation. If Li He had recognized it, why did he still go through with it?

Teng Yi shook his head. "I don't know, I heard this from someone else—I don't know the specific details."

"Why did Bright Moon City become the Lost Soul Ruins?" Bian Fengta asked.

Teng Yi said, "After Li He took Li Hun, Feng Xi's soul was gone and there was no city lord, so the city gradually fell apart. Many people left, and only some loyal guards remained. Over time, the city's defense formations weren't maintained and were eventually breached by spirit beasts. Those who stayed died in battle, and for some reason, the spirit beasts that entered the city couldn't leave and perished inside."

Then, grey mist rose up in the sky—the same mist we see today. It's said that once you enter Bright Moon City, you can hear Feng Xi's voice.

"What sound?" Bian Fengta immediately asked.

Teng Yi said, "It is said that someone inside constantly calls, 'Where is my soul, where is my soul...' Those who enter and hear this lose their souls, and thus this place was named the Lost Soul Ruins."

"Feng Xi's soul must have been taken away by Li He, which is why he harbors this grudge," Bian Fengta said.

Teng Yi shook his head. "Not necessarily, I heard people say he's calling 'where is my Hun?' Regardless, there's definitely some stubborn will there."

Teng Yi looked at Ye Mo. "Brother Ye, we're friends and I'm not bullsh*tting. I don't know if this tale is true or false or how it got out. But it's indeed a place of no return; I hope you won't go in. If anything, we can go somewhere else and think of a way. As long as you can remove the spiritual sense mark on you, we can do something."

Bian Fengta also looked at Ye Mo, fervently hoping he wouldn't enter the Ancient God's Tomb.

Ye Mo nodded. "Teng, are we friends?"

Teng Yi said without hesitation, "Brother Ye, of course we're friends. Even if you don't think I'm your friend, I think you're my friend. Plus, I know you already think of me and Er Taa as friends."

"Great." Ye Mo patted Teng Yi and said, "Of course I do."

"I know," Teng Yi immediately said.

Ye Mo said, "If I need a spirit herb to survive and it's only inside the Lost Soul Ruins, would you help me find it?"

Teng Yi patted his chest. "Of course, you saved my mother so you saved me! A mere Lost Soul Ruins is nothing - no matter how dangerous it is, I would go in and help you."

Ye Mo nodded. "That's it, I have a very good friend like you; he's even a thousand-year-old expert and needs a spirit herb that's inside the Lost Soul Ruins. So I need to go in. I believe you can understand me now, right?"

Bian Fengta knew Ye Mo needed the Immortal Curl Flower and didn't say anything, but Teng Yi immediately said, "Okay, Brother Ye, I'll go in with you."

"No need, you and Er Taa leave here first and wait for me. I have a cultivation method that can avoid the grey mist; it's not good for you guys to go in."

Ye Mo saw that his Purple Eye Soul Sever was useful and wanted to go in already.

"You can avoid the grey mist?" Teng Yi asked in shock, but he immediately remembered something. "I understand—you extended your spiritual sense into it and were fine. That's your method, right?"

"That's right." Ye Mo nodded.

Bian Fengta said, "Where do we wait for you?"

Ye Mo thought for a moment and said, "Taa, the island where we met is a good place. Just wait for me there. If I succeed, I will come out within a year; if more than a year and a half passes, then don't wait for me."

Ye Mo was talking about the place Meng Qi used the space travel rune.

The two knew it was pointless to persuade Ye Mo, so they boarded Bian Fengta's flying cultivation artifact and left the Lost Soul Ruins.

The place seemed very desolate after the two left. The occasional shrieks coming from the Lost Soul Ruins made things more spooky.

The eeriest place Ye Mo had ever been to was Truth Fall Palace level seven, and now he felt the same feeling here.

Ye Mo walked into the mist without hesitation, simultaneously activating his Purple Eye Soul Sever technique. He was prepared to retreat into his Golden Page World or leave immediately if anything went wrong.

At the same time, two girls flew past here and saw Ye Mo go in.

"Sister, did I see wrong? Did I just see a cultivator enter the Lost Soul Ruins?" a young girl in a red robe rubbed her eyes in disbelief and asked.

The green-robed girl also said in a daze, "Sister, you saw right—someone did go inside."

"Hu?" The two exchanged glances and rushed to where Ye Mo was. Then, they glanced at each other again, not daring to say a word.

鈥?

As soon as Ye Mo entered, he felt his spirit sense spiral out of control. Even his Purple Eye Soul Severing technique couldn't prevent his sea of consciousness from being swallowed up. Something was calling to him, urging him to abandon all resistance. If it weren't for the Three Birth Chant, Ye Mo wouldn't dare imagine what fate would have befallen him.

The next moment Ye Mo wanted to leave, but when Ye Mo turned around, he was dumbfounded. He was in a misty world with no idea where he had come in from.

In that short time, his sea of consciousness rumbled again. The spirit sense swords he struck out became fuzzy. Ye Mo was shook, if his Purple Eye Soul Sever was useless, then he would lose his soul!
