Chapter 216: Soul

Generally speaking, for a soul with a soul, the soul is divided into two parts, one is the spirit and the other is the soul, the 'spirit' is the energy and the soul is the self.

The role of the spirit is to drive the normal operation of the soul.

No matter whether it is a practitioner, an ordinary person, or any other spiritual being, no matter how high the cultivation is, as long as you are still in the human world, the amount of spirit is limited.

In addition to making a leap at the level of life, it is manifested in the cultivator, which is the enhancement of the soul brought about by the breakthrough of the realm, which in turn leads to the increase of the total amount of 'spirit'.

Otherwise, there is little other means of replenishing the spirit.

To a certain extent, the number of 'spirits' can be regarded as the lifespan of a living being, which is the internal manifestation of lifespan.

Therefore, the creatures that have not reached the fairy realm will have a time when their longevity is exhausted.

Of course, there is no solution, if there is a great power willing to help, it can also ensure the independent existence of the soul and send it to life.

Even further, it is not impossible to recreate the soul and reshape the body.

There are also special practices that can maintain one's own immortality, although the name may be different, but the essence of these practices is to replenish one's own spirit.

Because of the rebellion against heaven and earth, it is even more difficult to practice these methods, which can be described as truly going against the heavens.

In addition to these two, there are other more extreme ways to ensure the immortality of one's soul.

However, these methods often require a great price, and it is only common for life to be worse than death.

In short, if the creatures under the fairyland want to live forever, they must either have a big force behind them, or a big opportunity, or pay a big price.

……

Whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, the normal lifespan is exhausted, and generally speaking, it is a part of the soul in the soul, and when it is exhausted, the only soul left will also dissipate between heaven and earth in the chaos.

As far as unnatural death is concerned.

Ordinary people who have not undergone cultivation are generally severely injured in their bodies and die.

This includes direct injuries or the effects of disease.

After the death of the body, even if the 'spirit' is still sufficient, but because the soul of ordinary people is too weak.

After the soul is separated from the body and directly exposed, it will instantly turn gray, and it will not have the ability to exist independently in the world.

As for practitioners, their souls continue to grow as they cultivate themselves, and after reaching a certain point, they can directly leave their bodies, and as for going further, different cultivation methods also have different forms of expression.

Injuries on the physical body alone are of extremely limited effect to the practitioner, and even more, even if the physical body dies, it can survive.

Therefore, most of the ways of accidental death are irreversible damage to the soul.

……

But that's not to say that the physical body isn't important to practitioners.

For low-level cultivators, after leaving the physical body, they can certainly survive, but they can't last long to face the world with their souls.

Because of the stability of the soul, high-level cultivators are naturally not as difficult to live as low-level cultivators, but most of the Dao magic powers require the participation of the physical body.

With the soul alone, it is difficult to exert one-twelfth of one's own strength, not to mention, when fighting against others, the damage received is less of a buffer, and it is directly on the soul.

Cultivation is even more important to think about progress.

It is also difficult to recover the body.

Directly snatching other people's bodies, not to mention the pitiful low success rate, even if it is successful, it will take a lot of time to run in.

As for reshaping one's own body, it takes a lot of resources to produce flesh from spirits.

……

Originally, this normal birth, old age, sickness and death changed after the advent of the underworld.

After the 'spirit' is consumed, under the effect of the rules of the underworld, the soul that should have dissipated into nothingness begins to be able to survive in the world forever, forming an existence called 'ghost' in popular terms.

If there is no underworld, the process of giving birth to new life is not only the body, but also the condensation of the soul.

After the appearance of the underworld, the gestation process of life has changed, and the newborn soul is no longer conceived through heaven and earth, but the underworld cleanses the original soul and consumes everything in the past.

Then the cleansed soul is directly put into the world.

It is equivalent to exercising this rule for heaven and earth, or more precisely, the underworld has become a part of the operation of heaven and earth, the whole world.

Therefore, it would be a big mistake to think of the underworld as a large force or something, and at some point, their role is more similar to a natural phenomenon, like earth, water, fire, and wind.

……

When Chen Yu returned from the underworld, the sun had just risen, looking at the whole world, under the blue sky and white sun, it seemed that the wind and waves were calm last night, and nothing happened.

However, some of the ghosts that survived the world, because they had no experience, some of them were directly exposed to the sun, and the screams they let out still announced one thing to the world.

Whether people like it or not, there is something more in this world.

……

The news, which was originally about 7 o'clock in the morning, was advanced by about half an hour, and it was broadcast from the original one to the whole station.

After the revival of the aura, the people of the Ming Dynasty who had already experienced similar scenes several times were not surprised by this.

However, the news of its notification still made countless people fearful.

Even after careful retouching, the host who can still see some dark circles under his eyes said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Here's an urgent notice of news."

"At twelve o'clock at midnight last night, as the revival of the aura intensified, ghosts in folklore began to appear in large numbers, causing tens of thousands of deaths, of which ......"

……

"Finally...... Please remember that when it is dark, do not go out. ”

"Next, I will introduce the development status of the cultivation colleges in various places in the Ming Dynasty......"

……

In fact, this is true not only in the Ming Dynasty, but in the whole world.

As one of the most densely populated countries, Daming is already in a relatively good situation.

Because some time ago, through some buildings built urgently, the Ming Dynasty moved all the people in the suburbs and rural areas to the cities.

In other parts of the world, such as those that are now countless distances away from Daming, some countries that were originally neighbors of Daming also have extremely dense populations.

Because of the lack of control after the revival of the aura, or the reason that it was unable to control it, under the impact of the ghosts this time, its casualties were dozens of times more than those of the Ming Dynasty.

There are even some isolated towns, which were directly slaughtered by some powerful weirdness that broke away from Huangquan Road.
