Chapter 1: Where is the Soul?

  Zi Lei woke up in a daze, only to feel his head throbbing with pain, as if he was about to go mad. The surroundings were pitch black, and when he stretched out his hand, he couldn't see his fingers. It was as if everything was covered in thick ink. There wasn't a single sound, not even the faint hum of a needle falling, and even the wind that was always present seemed to be absent.

  "Where is this? Where am I?"

  He shook his head hard, trying to clear his mind, but it felt like a lump of paste was stuck in his heart, and he only felt confused and disoriented, without any thread to hold on to. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, as if thousands of needles were piercing him at once, making it unbearable.

  "Ah!!"

  He let out a miserable cry and almost fainted.

  At the same time, a multitude of chaotic voices came pouring in, some anxious, some stern, and some maniacally laughing.

  "Lei'er, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Don't scare me!"

  "Hum, unlearned and untalented, dissolute by nature, arrogant and unruly, how can you become a great vessel? You dare to be a descendant of the Qi family!"

  "Zhire, still not surrendering? Being able to be used by me is the blessing of several lifetimes of cultivation. Haha, succeeded, finally succeeded! I, Ben Zhenren, am a genius unmatched in heaven!"

  Really?!

  A true man of his word!

  A spark of inspiration flashed through his chaotic thoughts, like a flash of lightning on a pitch-black night, illuminating everything in an instant. Memories came flooding back, like a burst dam, surging forth.

  Zi Lei, the young master of the Qi family from Tian Shui, is a noble and prestigious figure. When he goes out, he is surrounded by a large group of guards, and when he enters, there are countless servants at his beck and call. He is one of the most prominent figures in the world.

  However, he was not satisfied with this life of intoxication and indulgence. The superficial prosperity could never conceal the emptiness in his heart. In the still of the night, he would often gaze up at the sky and sigh deeply, lamenting the wasted years, the fleeting time, and the squandered life.

  This life went on until one day he met a true master of words!

  This is a true recluse, standing there gives people an ethereal and otherworldly feeling.

  A head of silver hair like a hundred-year-old man, but the face is smooth and delicate like a newborn baby; A pair of bright eyes are piercing and spirited, yet not sharp at all, forever kind and gentle; The bridge of the nose is high and straight, with a sense of righteousness; Silver-white long beard floats over the chest, fluttering on the gray-white cloth clothes, simple and unadorned, but clean and neat, showing an elegant and unrestrained temperament that is extraordinary.

  He stood quietly, as if he wanted to merge into the heaven and earth!

  Zi Lei had never seen such a person before, and was instantly shocked as if he had seen a celestial being!

  After the most sincere conversation, it's like gaining a treasure!

  "Master, accept me as your disciple, I am willing to give up wealth and glory, pursue the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and live forever!"

  "No, you and I have a connection, but we are not master and apprentice, just good friends of equal status!"

  From then on they became sworn brothers and were inseparable.

  Yan Dao Zhenren's knowledge was vast and profound, with a deep and unique understanding of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. Every time he spoke, Qi Lei gained new insights and harvests, and as their friendship deepened, a world different from that of ordinary people gradually took shape in his heart under Yan Dao Zhenren's description.

  It's an incredible world where everyone possesses incredible powers, traveling a thousand miles by day and eight hundred miles by night, able to move mountains and seas with a lift of their hand, and destroy the heavens and earth with a stretch of their legs, almost all-powerful.

  Ordinary people are just like ants compared to them.

  This wondrous world, like a blooming flower that emits fragrance, deeply attracted him, making him sleepless day and night, forgetful of tea and rice. Finally, disregarding his family's dissuasions, he resolutely decided to follow Yan Dao Zhen Ren, seeking the wondrous world, cultivating the great Dharma of the mundane world, pursuing the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, in order to attain eternal life and imperishability.

  Yan Dao was moved by Zhen Ren's sincerity and, contrary to his usual nature, gladly accepted him. However, he did not immediately take him away from the mortal world, but instead had him reside in Tian Shui City for a long time.

  "In the mystical world, everyone has an incredible power that is beyond imagination. The mortal flesh and dust cannot enter, you can only cultivate the divine law first, purify your soul, until a certain realm is reached, then there will be opportunities!"

  His longing for the mystical world has driven him to madness, and he is even more convinced of the words of the True Man. In order to purify his soul as soon as possible, under the guidance of the True Man, he practices quietly day and night.

  The effect is extraordinary!

  Not long after his cultivation, he had a feeling of spiritual communication, and was often able to wander outside the soul, seeing beautiful scenery that he had never seen before, perceiving the ultimate truth that others were not aware of, with clear and transparent thoughts, shining brightly in all directions.

  He firmly believed that by continuing to cultivate in this way, one day he would step into a magical world and become a part of it.

  Dreams are as beautiful as blooming flowers, but reality is cruel like fallen flowers.

  The words of a true man suddenly change his face!

  With cruel and ruthless means, just as his soul was wandering outside his body and about to return, he suddenly made a move, using a black bottle to capture his soul, and with an unimaginable sinister technique, attempted to forcibly erase the imprint of his soul.

  "I regard you as a teacher, as a father, and consider you to be my guide. Why do you want to use such despicable means to kill me, destroy me, and capture my soul? What is the reason for this?"

  Zi Lei was shocked and outraged, with a mix of sadness and anger, and asked with resentment.

  His soul had left his body and he couldn't make a sound, but his sorrowful and indignant expression spoke volumes.

  "Haha, Zile, you really think you can enter the mystical world? Humph, with your talent, even if you cultivate for 10,000 years, it's still useless. If not for your exceptionally pure soul, which is just suitable to be used as my pet, I wouldn't bother with you!"

  Pet beast?!!

  That eagle!

  Was I in the body of that eagle?

  Zi Lei was shocked and lost his color, unable to bear the struggle, but unfortunately, his soul had been worn out before, and was forcibly merged with the eagle's soul, already exhausted, every move would have to endure unimaginable pain and torture.

  What's wrong?

  He was so angry and resentful that he was at his wit's end, yet he had no way out, and couldn't help but feel both hatred and regret.

  Regretfully, I speak the truth that some people are plotting evil with a human face and an animal heart. I regret that I was blinded by the so-called magical world, lost my mind, and didn't listen to the advice of my parents and elders, rushing headlong into the path of death.

  But it's all too late.

  Wave after wave of despair made his entire soul cold.

  No, this is still not the final outcome, as long as one is alive, there is hope, and with it, a chance for revenge.

  "Words can't express it, I must avenge this grudge!"

  Endless resentment gave him the power of life.

  Suddenly, a sound came, like the chanting of an old monk in the temple, grand and solemn, continuous and unbroken, yet pleasant to hear, which suddenly alleviated his pain and made him feel drowsy.

  His eyelids felt like a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep them open. He fell into another daze once again.

  When he woke up again, his headache had eased a lot, and he even felt refreshed. He was no longer dizzy, and the space in front of him was not as dark as before. Some shadows appeared vaguely, like a towering mountain, majestic and awe-inspiring. Although it was shrouded in mist and couldn't be seen clearly, it still gave people a great sense of oppression.

  But he knew it was all unreal.

  This space should be the eagle's recognition sea, where the soul exists, and is the central part of the entire body.

  He just couldn't think of it, a small flat-haired creature, the sea was so strange, the space was vast and almost endless, and there was also a majestic high mountain with an overwhelming momentum.

  After cultivation, he also saw his own sea of consciousness, but it was only one zhang square in size, like an empty and desolate house. If not for the unknown small flowers growing inside, adding some elegance to it, his sea of consciousness could be said to be completely unremarkable and extremely monotonous.

  "Eagles also have eyes and ears, since I am in its cognitive ocean, I should be able to hear and see through them!"

  He was eager to know everything outside, not just for revenge, but also worried about his elderly parents.

  Although it sounds reasonable, it's actually quite troublesome when put into practice.

  He was completely unable to control the eagle's body, everything was different from his own, without that kind of arm-wielding feeling, but rather like a three-year-old child, wanting to lift a thousand-pound hammer, using all his might was still useless.

  "How can this be? There must be a way to make it happen!"

  He turned around in a hurry, thinking deeply, but still got nothing.

  Unconsciously, the grand sound rose again, omnipresent and penetrating every pore, piercing into his soul.

  A wave of fatigue suddenly surged up, making him unable to help but stop thinking, and he let out a long yawn, as if even with a knife at his throat, he had to sleep for a while.

  Yes, I'm exhausted!

  It's time to take a break!

  Sleep for a while, have a good sleep, and when you wake up again, you might find that all of this was just a dream!

  Yes, it's all just a dream!

  His eyes slowly closed, his eyelashes drooping, and he was almost asleep.

  He suddenly woke up with a start, his eyes wide open.

  No, this is not a dream, it's all real!

  The words led the true person to plot for a long time, step by step luring him, finally stripping away his soul and making it a supplement to his beloved beast.

  He actually used me as a substitute!

  He thought of this and his eyes widened in rage, almost going mad!

  The chanting voices suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there before, and yet as if they had already stopped. The whole world was quiet, and the sound of a falling needle could be heard.

  But he tilted his head, as if he had heard something.

  "Lang Tian's innate talent was superior to others, and he originally had a boundless future in his cultivation path. However, he was too impatient and ended up going crazy from excessive practice, resulting in the loss of his soul and an untimely death. This is all my fault! If I had taken good care of him and guided him carefully, how could this disaster have occurred today?"

  Despicable! The true mastermind is actually manipulating the story and deceiving everyone!

  Alas, many people couldn't tell right from wrong and they all believed his absurd talk.

  "How can you blame the real person? This is the child's fate, being born with a short life and no blessings. The real person has done their best, to be able to send off the child on their last journey, it's already a fulfillment of your friendship between each other. My whole family is eternally grateful."

  Zi Lei could imagine the look on his old father's face as he said those words, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger, his chest about to explode, his two eyes suddenly wide open.

  A flash of light made him suddenly unable to see everything clearly.

  Having gone through darkness for too long, one can no longer face the light!

  Fortunately, there was still hope in his heart, and after narrowing his eyes, he saw a fierce fire burning vigorously.

  A young man lay in the raging fire, with black hair scattered over his shoulders, eyes slightly closed, high nose bridge, majestic and extraordinary, but pale skin, stiff body, obviously had been gone for a long time.

  "So familiar, who is this person?"

  Zi Lei was taken aback for a moment, and then his face changed drastically.
