It's another full moon night. The jade plate hung in the air, without a trace of dark clouds to obstruct it, and the moonlight like mercury poured into the ground illuminated the entire mountain village.

However, the village was deserted, but dozens of jackals and wild dogs roamed through, and some scattered fighting and biting sounds could be heard occasionally.

Scattered bones can be found everywhere in the village, as if they had been carefully processed with a boning knife, leaving no trace of flesh behind. The jackals and wild dogs licked their tongues and searched greedily, and the feast of the rest of the month made them linger.

After several rounds of searching, the jackals and wild dogs finally gave up and gradually dispersed. But a few of the strongest wild dogs still did not give up, and ran together towards a yard.

In this courtyard, on the open stone floor, lay a corpse, the body of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. The clothes on the corpse had long been torn and scattered to the ground, leaving the entire body naked in the moonlight.

The boy's body was the only intact corpse among the hundreds of dead bodies in the village. The others were all broken bones by the wolves and wild dogs, and the young man's body, though also covered in bruises, was quite intact. This cannot but be said to be a miracle.

The unrelenting wild dogs soon ran to the boy's side. They glanced at each other, revealing their white teeth. This was the Nth time they had tried, and no one could bite the flesh off the young man's corpse, and even the sharpest teeth could only scratch a shallow scar on his body, and at most a little blood oozed out.

This is a great shame for the wild dogs. They were visiting the boy again, not only to get a piece of flesh to satisfy their stomach, but more to show that their teeth were still sharp enough to shred any meat.

At the encouragement of everyone, the strongest wild dog that had taken the lead finally came out, and it bit the boy's belly fiercely. Because according to its experience, the abdomen is the softest part of all animals.

"Magnetic—"

Finally bit in. The wild dog was overjoyed and paused slightly, this time, believing that it would be able to tear off a large piece of flesh to prove that it was the strongest. After a pause of about five seconds, it finally regained its strength and jerked backwards.

"Click—"

The wild dog suddenly screamed and hurriedly retreated.

The other wild dogs were shocked, and when they hurriedly looked, they saw that the young man had two broken teeth stuck in his abdomen.

The wild dogs were like ghosts, and they suddenly dispersed. No more beasts would dare to strike at the young man's corpse.

Night, finally quiet returned!

The moonlight shone warmly on the young man's ketone body, which was densely covered with blood-colored scars like spider webs, which looked shocking.

The young man's eyes were closed, and although there was no trace of life in his gray face, it did not look very intimidating. If you don't look closely, you think he's just asleep.

However, in the body of this young man, there is another unknown scene.

In the refining chamber inside him, a small broken sword was suspended in a thin cloud of yellow mist. The broken little sword was trembling slightly, absorbing the yellow mist in the refining room to make up for its missing parts, and at the same time, it faintly emitted a trace of true qi from the sword body, drilling into the dantian in the young man's body through the refining room, trying to repair the broken Yuan Shen in the young man's body.

The process was extremely slow, so slow that it was like there was no progress. It's been almost a month, and the little sword has only been slightly repaired, but the broken slag in the dantian is almost condensed. However, the little sword was tenacious and persistent, and had no intention of giving up.

This young man is naturally Li Kun.

Grandma Shang's skill is so profound? Her blow not only shattered Li Kun's weak primordial spirit, but also damaged the sword spirit in his refining room, causing the sword spirit's sword body to be partially damaged, and the broken sword body was transformed into true qi, filling the refining room.

In fact, the Yuan Shen is a cultivator who has reached a certain level of cultivation and has a cultivation body with divine consciousness, it is the foundation of cultivation, and the core of the cultivation process is the Yuan Shen of cultivation.

However, the original spirit is different from the soul. Human life depends on the soul, not the spirit. This is also the reason why ordinary people do not have a primordial spirit but have life.

However, it can be said that the Yuan Shen is the second life of a cultivator, and once the Yuan Shen is destroyed, it means that he has lost the root of his cultivation. In addition, the soul is far less powerful than the primordial god, and even the youngest primordial god is far stronger than the soul. Therefore, if you want to kill a cultivator, you usually go for the Yuan Shen, as long as you destroy the Yuan Shen, its soul is basically unavoidable, unless the attacker deliberately leaves him alive, only hurting the Yuan Shen and not the soul.

Li Kun's Yuan Shen is naturally still very weak, how can he withstand the unusually powerful blow of Grandma Shang?

Grandma Shang firmly believed that even if she had twenty years of cultivation, under her blow, she would be directly destroyed, and there would be no chance of repair. And Li Kun was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the time to cultivate the Yuan Shen was even shorter, where could she withstand her blow? Of course, she couldn't be kind enough to spare Li Kun's life, so even his soul was destroyed.

However, what made Grandma Shang never expect was that Li Kun had a sword spirit in his body. It was the sword spirit that protected Li Kun's primordial spirit.

It's a pity that the sword spirit has just been born, and it doesn't have a strong mana yet. Therefore, its protection of Li Kun's Yuan Shen was very limited, and it could only barely maintain the fragments of his Yuan Shen in his body without being scattered and annihilated.

At the same time, the sword spirit itself was also hit hard, cracking in several places.

However, the sword spirit was originally condensed by true qi, so even if it collapsed, it only returned to the state of true qi, and it remained in the refining room without the slightest loss.

This is also the negligence of Grandma Shang.

Grandma Shang actually knew that Li Kun's refining body had reached the tenth order, and she naturally knew that there was a refining room in his body. But she was too confident, and she didn't know that there was something else in him, a sword spirit hidden. Therefore, she thought that just by destroying Li Kun's Yuan Shen, she could completely kill him, and there was no need to further destroy his body.

After all, the body with the tenth-order forging body was still quite tough, which was why the wild dog's sharp teeth could not tear him, but were broken out. To destroy such a body, it takes a certain amount of consumption.

Grandma Shang would not be so stupid and consume her cultivation to destroy a worthless corpse, after all, she did not have a deep enmity with this young man, and it was far from the extent that she had to crush his bones and ashes.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Li Kun was lucky enough to preserve the refining room in his body, and then got the opportunity to be reborn. If Grandma Shang destroyed his body at that time, the refining chamber in his body was destroyed. Then, even if he had a sword spirit in his body, it would be useless. Because, the sword spirit is inseparable from the refining room, and the refining room is the only place where the sword spirit survives.

It was also because of Grandma Shang's negligence that the sword spirit escaped a catastrophe.

However, the cultivation of the sword spirit not only requires the host's refining room, but also needs the host's cultivation. In other words, the sword spirit is a parasitic spirit. It doesn't have a strong cultivation ability on its own, it needs to control the host and absorb the host's cultivation to strengthen itself. Especially at the beginning of its birth, its formation requires the host's true qi to condense.

For this sword spirit, it is fortunate that he has already condensed and formed in Li Kun's body, otherwise, after Li Kun's death, it will not be able to form and obtain "life" on its own.

Now that Li Kun is dead, it has lost the possibility of obtaining cultivation from its host, but fortunately, it has been formed, and it has the ability to repair itself. So, it had to slowly repair its damage on its own, while also desperately repairing its host. Because only when the host is resurrected can it regain the possibility of cultivation.

The sword spirit was originally condensed by Li Kun using the method of condensing qi, but now the sword spirit was severely damaged by Grandma Shang and was mutilated, and the broken part turned back into true qi. Without Li Kun's method of condensing qi, it could only rely on its own absorption of true qi to repair. The process was unusually arduous and slow.

In addition, Li Kun condensed into a sword and let the sword spirit form, which had already consumed all the true qi in his inner body, and this true qi still came from the Yuan Shen fragment. Now, due to the damage to the sword spirit, part of the sword body has transformed into true qi again, although these true qi has not decreased, enough for it to be completely repaired. However, it would take True Qi to repair the host's primordial spirit. And this part of the True Qi has no other source at all, so it is bound to sacrifice the True Qi that it uses to repair the sword body.

This is also a sacrifice for the sword spirit. But this sacrifice must be paid, otherwise, even if it completes its own repair, the host spirit cannot be repaired, it still cannot get the possibility of growth, and the host's body will become a tomb where it is buried.

This point, the sword spirit knows better than anyone else, so while repairing itself, it is also desperately repairing Li Kun's primordial spirit.

Of course, there is one of the most important parts that the sword spirit cannot control, and that is the restoration of Li Kun's soul.

Li Kun is now not only destroyed in the original spirit, but also in the soul. This led to his complete death.

If you want Li Kun to be resurrected, it is not enough to restore the original god, for the living, the soul is the most important.

However, the repair of the soul is completely beyond the scope of the sword spirit's repair ability.

Therefore, for the sword spirit, whether Li Kun can be truly resurrected in the end is not under its control.

However, despite this, the Sword Spirit will spare no effort to repair Li Kun's Yuan Shen. As for whether Li Kun can really be resurrected in the end, he can only resign himself to fate. It is not something that can be transferred by its will.

For this reason, the sword spirit in Li Kun's body has been slowly and tenaciously repairing, even if it can barely see the slightest hope of resurrecting Li Kun.
