Chapter 387: Boundary of Life and Death

cted his hand, closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, continued, "Although the Spirit Ancient Domain has fallen to this state, the cause is indeed because your father was the first to discove...Tang Yi finally understood Jiang Yun's purpose.

Next, Jiang Yun had to kill a large number of Yin Spirits himself in order to make his Spiritual Qi vortex larger and more noticeable.

This will inevitably draw the attention of others, prompting them to rush to the vortex and see for themselves.

"That's indeed a good idea, but..." Lu Yourong frowned slightly, "Where can we possibly find that many ghosts"

Tang Yi also scratched his head and said, "That's right, I even doubt whether the total number of ghosts in this world is that many!"

Jiang Yun killed nearly five hundred Yin spirits, and the vortex formed was only about ten zhang across!

If one wants to make the whirlpool reach a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, or even ten thousand zhang, then one would know how many more Yin spirits need to be killed.

It could be fifty thousand, five hundred thousand, or even more!

I can't say for sure, I'll have to try it out to know.

Although he said so, Ginger Cloud believed in his heart that there were enough ghosts.

This is a world, and within this world, the number of human and demon races alone is at least in the billions.

Even if only one tenth, or even one percent, were transformed into Yin Spirits, that would still be an incredibly large number.

Jiang Yun pondered, "I think the Yin Spirit would be very interested in certain things, so now I need to use one Yin Spirit to test it."

"Before I find something that interests them, I want the two of you to help me attract as many spirits as possible."

"No problem!"

Tang Yi readily agreed, but then added: "But if your spiritual vortex becomes large enough, you won't only see our fellow disciples. Others will see it too. What if we attract them"

Jiang Yun smiled faintly and gently uttered a single word—“Kill!”

This answer truly resonates with Tang Yi's thoughts!

Thus, Tang Yi and Lu Yourong each chose a direction to search for the yinling.

Jiangyun asked them not to go beyond a hundred miles, for that was the safe distance within which his divine consciousness could cover.

That way, if they encounter danger, they can also lend a helping hand in time.

With Tang Yi and the others gone, Jiang Yun found a Yin Spirit on his own first. He deliberately hid silently behind it.

It's not just Jiang Yun's guess that the yin spirits are interested in something.

At least Ginger Cloud could determine that ghost energy was definitely able to attract spirits.

He also knew that the beast was extremely interested in blood, especially his own.

Back then, trapped in the beast's lair, he used his own blood to attract a horde of ferocious beasts in order to find Lu XiaoYu.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud's current task is to see if there are other things besides ghost energy that can attract spirits!

Gazing ahead, he was oblivious to the ghost following him. Jiang Yun first eliminated the smell.

Then he cut his finger and squeezed out a few drops of blood, but the spirit remained unresponsive.

Next, Jiang Yun successively released demonic energy, spiritual energy, life fire, and all sorts of spells.

Even the various pills within the storage artifacts were all emptied out at once.

Everything is invalid!

This made Jiang Yun's eyebrows furrow involuntarily, muttering to himself: "Could it be that they are only interested in ghost qi"

But after I consumed the ghostly energy, it vanished completely. Even if it still existed, I wouldn't be able to manipulate it anymore.

"If I could figure out what the Ghost Clan is, then perhaps I could know how to wield ghostly energy."

Thinking of this, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Bai Ze, now you have time, can you tell me what the true ghost clan is"

Bai Ze has been holding back for several days. His "all-knowing" reputation, in this world, is constantly being slapped in the face, making him wonder if he truly knows nothing at all.

Now that Ginger Cloud finally asked the question he knew, his spirits lifted immediately, and he started talking excitedly.

As Bai Ze spoke, Jiang Yun's face grew increasingly astonished.

Only then did he realize how ignorant he had been.

Between heaven and earth, ten thousand clans stand tall, but in reality, besides the division between humans and demons, there is another method of classification - living spirits and dead spirits!

The living are called spirits, and the dead are called spirits!

And this method of division is equally effective for the world as well.

Whether it's the Shan Hai realm, Bai Ze's world, or even the world we are currently in.

Although there are many worlds, in the final analysis, there are actually only two categories: the realm of life and the realm of death.

The boundary of life and death encompasses countless worlds each.

When life is alive, it resides in the realm of the living. After death, it goes to the realm of the dead.

But, the boundary divides life and death, Yin and Yang forever separated!

The two realms of life and death will never come into contact.

The true Ghost Clan is a special race born in the Netherworld. They are born as undead spirits.

Therefore, they should not appear in the world of the living.

Of course, according to Bai Ze's account, there may be some powerful beings, such as those who speak of demons, perhaps they have already transcended life and death, able to freely travel between the two realms.

But that ghost, Guili, clearly didn't possess such power. Therefore, when Bai Ze learned that Guili was truly a member of the Ghost Race, he was extremely shocked.

"The world of the living, the world of the dead!"

Ginger Cloud also remembered what her foster father had once said, that all things have a spirit, and after death, there is an undying spirit, which is the so-called soul. It enters another world, transforms into a ghost, and then reincarnates, reborn in a new life.

At that time, he didn't quite understand, but now he finally knows.

That world is called the Realm of Death, and although souls who die are also referred to as ghosts, they are not true members of the Ghost Clan.

The true Ghost Clan, are born only from the undead of the Death Realm!

Of course, not every creature will have an immortal soul after death.

In many situations, it is possible for your soul to be completely extinguished, which means disappearing entirely, not even as a ghost.

The most common method is self-destruction, whether it's a "self-destruction blessed land" or a "self-destruction spirit path." Once a cultivator chooses to self-destruct, they choose annihilation, a complete and utter disappearance of both body and soul.

Although Bai Ze has tried his best to explain the issue of life and death in detail, there are still many vague points. After all, he has never died.

And Gingercloud didn't mind. This question was too big and too deep, far beyond what he could contemplate at present, so his attention remained focused on the ghostly Qi.

"Ghostly Qi, in short, is a special kind of energy possessed by spirits. Just like demonic Qi, can I understand it as...death Qi"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at the ghost who had ignored him from beginning to end, he suddenly reached out and pointed directly at his own life fire!

"You're crazy!"

Jiang Yun's actions made Bai Ze unable to help but let out a cry. He naturally knew what Jiang Yun wanted to do.

But Jiang Yun calmly said, "Only those who are about to die can release death qi, so I can only make my life fire dim and allow my vitality to gradually disappear!"

With a single point from Jiang Yun, the raging fire of his life force, which burned with unparalleled intensity, flickered slightly. The strength of the flames weakened by a few points.

As the life fire dwindled, a faint trace of death energy immediately emanated from Ginger Cloud's body.

Although the death qi was too thin, the ghosts that had always been walking ahead of Jiang Yun without any reaction suddenly stopped.

Then, he suddenly turned and looked at Gingercloud.

Jiang Yun knew, he had finally found a way to attract the undead!
