Chapter 3244: Chapter 1642: Feigned Death, Jin Ren Wishes to Make Soldiers, Lord Shou Seeks the White Spirits Beyond the Bounds
Fancy maneuvers?
Hallmaster Dao’s interest piqued instantly.
He quite liked “fancy” things, such as the ancient swordsman’s poise… Alright, it was Bazhun’an’s poise.
But this was not something that could be envied or acquired easily; the best one could do was imitate up to ninety percent of it.
Perhaps the flair of Xu Xiaoshou should be discussed separately?
“Would you care to elaborate?”
Xu Xiaoshou didn’t respond.
Under the Vanishing Technique, he quickly birthed another Jin Ren.
Being able to give birth to one meant his guess was correct.
Indeed, Jin Ren killed himself after staying in the Apricot Realm for a while; who knows if Li Fugui would be frightened.
I’m sorry… Looking at his other self, although moved by Jin Ren’s “death by duty,” Xu Xiaoshou really forgot which generation of Jin Ren this was.
I’m truly a cold fellow!
“Hello.”
The new generation of Jin Ren was very polite, properly dressed after arriving, and the Will Dao Disc under his feet retracted smoothly.
Despite inheriting Xu Xiaoshou’s abilities at their pinnacle after Super Taoization, the newborn Jin Ren felt like a poor child born without drinking Meng Po’s forgetfulness soup. Without much recollection, he vividly remembered how he died in his previous life.
To the true body, he was both respectful and fearful, with an exceedingly sycophantic attitude.
“I have an idea…”
Xu Xiaoshou rubbed his hands together, his face excited, about to thoroughly explain the “fancy maneuver” he had just conceived to his other self.
Jin Ren hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak:
“Lord Shou, whatever you think of me, just think it, no need to say it aloud.”
…
“Feigned death?”
Hallmaster Dao, looking at the freshly minted Lord Shou before him, mused over the “fancy maneuver” that came from his mouth, lost in thought.
Most impressive!
It must be said, Xu Xiaoshou’s Incarnation Technique, though seen before, still invites astonishment… It somewhat seems to have outdone the storyteller’s, with blue coming out of blue and excelling over blue!
This courteous individual, presenting himself as “Jin Ren” after making an appearance, Hallmaster Dao scrutinized him for a long while, not overlooking any detail, yet the regret remained.
He could not discern any difference between the true body and the avatar.
If even he couldn’t tell, Hallmaster Dao had reason to suspect, there was not a person in the world who could spot the flaw.
At one point, Hallmaster Dao even thought that the Jin Ren before him was the real Xu Xiaoshou, who had changed clothes and demeanor to play a trick on him after vanishing.
True and false, false within true.
What Xu Xiaoshou was thinking, Hallmaster Dao also knew.
This guy deliberately showing this hand, it shows he’s very confident, not afraid of being unmasked, just wanting to give those who see Jin Ren something more to ponder:
If they should meet Xu Xiaoshou in the future, and fail to kill both, or more, at once, everyone will doubt whether Xu Xiaoshou is really dead.
“Yes, it is feigned death.”
The newly emerged Jin Ren named Xu Xiaoshou spoke very seriously, his gaze sweeping over Dao Yue Cao in front of him, solemnly spreading his hands:
“Why does a person truly live?”
The aforementioned trio were utterly perplexed upon hearing this.
Are you really Xu Xiaoshou?
The speech, the personality, the way of speaking… all have changed, haven’t they? What kind of Incarnation with such a personality is this?
Jin Ren, seemingly oblivious to the spectators’ doubts, answered his own question:
“Body, spirit, and consciousness determine one’s existence!”
“Only when these three coexist or depart, does one’s trace in this world emerge or fade.”
“Of course!” He nodded, looking at Hallmaster Dao, with a slight smile on his lips:
“I do not mean to belittle the Memory Path, I consider ‘consciousness’ to include memory; when it is erased, it ceases to exist as well.”
Hallmaster Dao remained silent.
His silence was not because Xu Xiaoshou respected or disrespected his Memory Path.
The abilities one commands do not become stronger or depreciate based on the esteem or lack thereof from others.
Hallmaster Dao was far from someone who would revel in favorable circumstances or wallow in personal sorrows.
His silence stemmed from Lord Shou being a bit too avant-garde with his flamboyance — to the extent that even he, known as “Elder Dao the Flamboyant” to outsiders, couldn’t quite grasp what this guy was trying to do.
“Brother Shou, what exactly are you saying?” Cao Erzhu scratched his head signaling if it could be explained in plain language.
Jin Ren turned and smiled at him.
The latter shivered with fright, feeling the smile was like Elder Dao’s, no, even more perverse!
Brother Shou explained very “affectionately”:

“In short, when body, spirit, and intent dwindle to nearly zero presence, yet not truly die and can still revive… This is ‘feigned death.’
“The degree of feigned death doesn’t truly exist; it varies with the enemy, environment, and rules at any given time.”
“Like here!”
Jin Ren looked around the Divine Ruins’ expansive space, pointing at the intangible Way of the Heavens:
“The rules of the Divine Ruins are not complete, and the definition of ‘existence’ is quite vague.”
“According to the rules set by Ran Ming, spiritual cultivators like us, with dead physiques will indeed have their spirits surviving, their consciousness surviving, all to be ‘Guided’ back to the site before entering the ruins.”
“Yet certain ‘spiritual weapons,’ ‘spiritual medicine’ and others considered existences with spiritual quality comparable to that of spiritual cultivators, exhibit the opposite traits: stronger souls, yet weaker bodies.”
“Such ‘existences’—when spiritual weapons are broken, akin to physical destruction; when spiritual medicine is uprooted, tantamount to being bisected… Yet they haven’t died, why?”
“They accompany a spiritual cultivator, and once the cultivator commits suicide and leaves the Divine Ruins, they can proceed to the Shengshen Continent as ‘items,’ as opposed to being ‘existences’ returned to their original places, why?”
Hisss!
Cao Erzhu inhaled sharply, feeling a headache coming on.
