Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 814 - 143: Soul Examination

Wang Qi walked alone on the street, shaking his head at the ring in his hand, "I say, old man... you've waited ten thousand years, so why get anxious at this critical moment?"

"Kid, if you waited a hundred years to get married, wouldn't you be eager for the wedding night?"

Wang Qi tapped his temple with his finger, "Hmm, personally, I think if you've maintained a lover's relationship for over a hundred years, you've probably done everything there is to do, and there's no rush."

"Then consider you've practiced ascetic meditation for a hundred years, waiting for that one day to consummate the marriage."

"But I think if a person can endure a hundred years, or enjoy a mental connection for a hundred years, they might not care about the physical stuff anymore?"

The reason Zhen Chan is so anxious is because Wang Qi scheduled a soul examination for him today. It's the most crucial step before designing a physical body.

The Immortal Alliance will send professionals to comprehensively gather information on all aspects of Zhen Chan's soul to design the most suitable body for him. At the same time, they will create the most suitable method to help him escape the residual soul state and regain a complete soul.

These "methods" include medication, specially designed soul cultivation methods, unique visualization methods, learning, spells from high-level cultivators, and spirit power fields created by special magic artifacts... It can be said that Yangshen Pavilion's thousands of years of research have made the technology in this area very complete. All imaginable methods are in this sequence.

As long as you can afford the treatment cost.

And just to complete this step, a physician above the Primordial Spirit Stage is needed for the examination.

Upon reaching the Yangshen Pavilion's residence in Langde, Wang Qi presented his credentials and directly went to the top floor. There, a woman in a green robe was waiting for him. Wang Qi greeted her with a smile, "Senior Liu, hello."

Wang Qi had booked an appointment early with a cultivator from the Yangshen Pavilion, this person was one of the cultivators who previously brought him back from the depths of the West Sea. She and Wang Qi had some rapport. This Grandmaster named Liu Huafeng had a bit of a mentoring attitude towards this highly talented junior and was naturally not stingy in helping. She smiled at Wang Qi, "Honestly, you could find a higher-level cultivator for this, right? It's not necessary to come to me..."

"Find someone higher level?" Wang Qi was a bit puzzled. He knew quite a few high-level cultivators, many of whom had the means to resurrect Zhen Chan. But if one is pursuing a perfect resurrection, then professionals are needed.

Liu Huafeng laughed, "There's no need to hide it. Last time I saw you, I didn't know, True Disciple of Wanfa Sect Wang Qi, recipient of both the Dao Seed and Dao Artifact Award—especially the Dao Seed Award, which is usually kept within our Tianling Ridge and rarely given to outsiders. Even if awarded, it's often given to Burning Gold Valley. It's rare for Wanfa Sect to get it. With your status, it's not a big problem to find a Void Refining Grandmaster or Carefree Practitioner from Tianling Ridge, right?"

Wang Qi awkwardly laughed twice, thinking to himself that those senior practitioners at the Carefree Stage would be happy not to beat him up, considering his reputation as the Shame of Dao Seed isn't just talk. However, he said on the surface: "Each profession has its expertise, and in the matter of 'residual souls,' your methods aren't inferior to those of higher-level cultivators."

As they say, many hands make light work; no one dislikes hearing compliments. Moreover, Wang Qi wasn't wrong. The wonder of the Modern method, or "science," lies here, all mysteries can be put on paper, conveyed through speech. If one understands the theories of carefree practitioners, learns the techniques they developed, this learner can truly emulate those carefree practitioners' demeanor, sometimes even more skilfully—like a Nobel Prize winner in medicine isn't necessarily better suited to treat patients than a clinical physician.

"Alright, enough small talk. Has the approval for the repair of the ancient cultivator's soul been done?"

Wang Qi pulled up a certification Yin Yang Spell similar to a QR code from his Immortal Registration Token and said, "It's been done."

Following the principle of "prohibiting high-level cultivators from undergoing Transcend Tribulation without permission after the establishment of the Immortal Alliance," all ancient cultivator's souls must undergo a series of strict reviews before starting to "revive," ensuring their mentality, even if not inclined to the Modern method, isn't biased towards the Ancient Method either.

Of course, this process often made Wang Qi sigh that carrying around an old grandpa in this ever-changing Immortal Dao was like owning a large dog, lots of hassle.

After confirming the certification Yin Yang Spell Wang Qi provided, Liu Huafeng nodded and asked, "Is the ring where the ancient cultivator's soul resides the one in your hand?"

Wang Qi nodded, took off the ring, and handed it to Liu Huafeng. As soon as she held the ring, the Primordial Spirit Master couldn't help but exclaim, "This... the grade of this magic artifact is so high! And... it seems to be a Modern magic artifact?"

"A 'senior' from Wanfa Sect helped me reforge it." Wang Qi was vague. Anyway, Wanfa Sect considered itself the inheritor of the Ancient Mathematicians' Absolute Skills, so Sage Zhi Long could be considered a senior of Wanfa Sect.

Liu Huafeng nodded. Then, she placed the explanation of the demi-immortal artifact level on a jade plate and gently wiped the edge of the plate with her hand. A misty white light enveloped the jade plate. Then, Wang Qi noticed that it seemed like some black smoke appeared on his ring. He felt that the nature of this white light was similar to the Holy Light and Life Flame he controlled.

"Yang Divine Light, the lower divine power of Life Flame, can temporarily give this residual soul the ability to manifest," Liu Huafeng explained. Soon, a thick fog surged out from the ring, quickly transforming into the image of an old man in a black robe.

That was the appearance of Zhen Chan before his death.

Liu Huafeng first recorded Zhen Chan's face with the instrument. She deliberately took photos from more than a dozen different angles, probably to ensure a three-dimensional image could be formed to outline Zhen Chan's appearance from all directions. She asked while shooting, "Is this your appearance from ten thousand years ago, right? What were your height and weight?"

Zhen Chan honestly reported, "Height is six feet nine inches, weight is one hundred fifty pounds..."

"Are your arm span, shoulder width, and leg length in this current form the same as before?"

"Proportions are consistent... roughly." Zhen Chan wasn't very clear on this. After all, he's been without a physical body for ten thousand years.

"Although it seems pretty obvious, just to confirm, your gender is male, right?"

Zhen Chan was somewhat annoyed: "You woman, why are you so unreasonable? I clearly have a male body, don't I?"

Liu Huafeng didn't care about the attitude of this former Mahayana Cultivator, instead, she replied rather boldly: "You're now a residual soul, and the determinant factors like Primordial Essence Bloodline Root and Primordial Bloodline Root are up to us to insert. How should I know if you're a woman posing as a man or if you've been holding back for ten thousand years, then came up with some special request?"

"You..." Zhen Chan couldn't explode, so he just said: "Male! Male body!"

"Pfft..." Wang Qi couldn't help but laugh.

"Your identity is the last Sect Leader of Luofu Xuanqing Palace, cause of death was the absolute skill 'Divine Heaven Inheritance Seal' from the previous Daoist Master of Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao shattering your Magic Body... That's what's recorded in history, do you have any supplements to that?"

It was only when Liu Huafeng asked this question that Wang Qi remembered that Zhen Chan seemed to be quite a big figure in history?

The last Sect Leader of Luofu Xuanqing Palace, waged a war against Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao, ultimately leading to mutual destruction and proclaiming the Holy Infant Sect as the eternal number one divine sect... And it was exactly because Holy Infant Sect became dominant, gathering knowledge from all over, that eventually led to the emergence of the New Method, predecessor of the Modern.

——This old man, also played a leading role in history...

——I wonder what my technological revolution can turn this world into after thousands of years?

After hearing this question, Zhen Chan also showed a bit of a reminiscent expression: "It was indeed like that. But before that, I was first hit by the heart intent torrent of Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao's Combined Attack Formation 'Fire Transmission Mysterious Array', which perplexed my mind, and my mana became somewhat uncontrollable, putting me at a disadvantage. Then... my chest was hit by a 'Sky Splitting Border Sword', followed immediately by a 'Divine Heaven Inheritance Seal' striking my forehead..."

"First crushed by an attack similar to Martial Arts Fist Intent... then the cause of death was Magic Body collapse." Liu Huafeng recorded in a few breaths: "According to history, you were originally the son of the Transmitting Technique Elder of Luofu Xuanqing Palace, right?"

"Yes, the Transmitting Technique Elder, later adopted by the Sect Leader."

"The Transmitting Technique Elder of that generation... So, your secular family name is Su, and your ancestral home is Wushan upstream of the Luo River?"

Wang Qi exclaimed at this: "Old man, apart from your Daoist title, you actually have a normal name?"

"Humph, since entering the Immortal Dao, secular names become meaningless." Zhen Chan coldly snorted, asking: "Why are you asking this?"

"To see if it's possible to find a clan related to your bloodline in Shenzhou, and then use that clan's lineage as the material to rebuild your physical body." Liu Huafeng answered: "Especially the Primordial Essence Bloodline Root which determines reproduction—I assume men would care a lot about this? You hope to find one that's as identical as possible to your previous Primordial Essence Bloodline Root, right?"

Wang Qi curiously asked: "So, previously..."

"Over three hundred years ago, there was a resurrected residual soul that made a fuss over this matter. At the time, we used a method similar to Transformation and cosmetic surgery, completely like molding a clay figure of 'face molding', and someone felt uncomfortable."

Liu Huafeng didn't mention this, but once she did, Zhen Chan felt very uncomfortable about it. His face turned unsightly: "Using someone else's would be worse than not using any..."

"Worse than not using any? Alright. But I have to remind you, being an Asexual Person isn't a good choice, it would only cause physical imbalance."

Zhen Chan's expression became even more peculiar: "That... my clan... is there still anyone?"

"Hard to say. After the Demon Emperor's unrest, nine out of ten families in Shenzhou are empty, no telling how many bloodlines have been cut off." Liu Huafeng coolly said: "However, the Primordial Essence Chromosomes are inherited from the paternal lineage, we can trace back to more ancient ancestors, and there's an eighty to ninety percent chance of finding a similar match."

Zhen Chan's expression was already indescribable: "So, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance I'll have to use... something similar..."

"Rest assured, the Immortal Alliance will strive to find the closest match..."

At this moment, Wang Qi suddenly interjected: "Is this service charged extra?"

Instantly, Zhen Chan's gaze looked as if he wanted to eat someone.

Wang Qi wore an innocent expression: "Can't find the original, just going through the motions will do, right?"
