Chapter 298: The Monk Trapped in the Spiritual World
"Ok?"

Looking at the warrior who was running wildly, Xie Shen exclaimed in surprise, "Interesting."

"I can feel that the soul and body of the warrior in front of me are not compatible."

"In other words, the body that the warrior currently occupies is most likely not his own."

Xie Shen made a judgment.

"It is very likely that he managed to take over that body."

"But if that's the case, then it doesn't make sense."

Xie Shen frowned and continued.

"After all, that person's soul strength is only equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Qi training stage."

"How could such a weak spirit use the method of taking over another's body to forcibly occupy that body?"

On the streets of Wanxin City.

As Xie Shen was analyzing, he suddenly noticed that Deng Bin beside him was standing there in a daze, as if he was possessed.

So he said to him, "Old Deng? What's wrong with you?"

"That person."

Deng Bin looked at the warrior in disbelief and said, "That person seems to be my elementary school classmate!?"

——Although the warrior has occupied someone else's body, he is no longer his original appearance.

But his soul still remained in its original appearance, so Deng Bin, who had reached the fusion stage, was able to recognize Wu's identity at a glance.

He tried to shout at the warrior: "Yang Hong? Are you Yang Hong?"

"You are."

When Yang Hong heard someone calling his real name, he was stunned while running wildly.

Also, there was an old man in the Spirit Transformation Stage behind him, who was chasing him closely.

So Yang Hong was stunned for just a moment, and less than two seconds later, he took a step forward and ran wildly.

At the same time.

Seeing that the warrior actually stopped for a second or two after hearing the name "Yang Hong", Deng Bin immediately understood something.

He waved his hand and decisively released a force of law, enveloping the warrior completely.

Under the restraint of the power of the law, the warrior was like falling into water, his whole body was suspended above the ground, and he could no longer move.

"you"

After subduing the warrior, Deng Bin opened his mouth and was about to ask him something to verify what he was thinking.

But then I heard a voice that was vague as if it was in the sky, yet low as if it was right in front of me, suddenly coming from the streets of Wanxin City.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Fellow Daoist, you have great skills. You just waved your hand and easily subdued the warrior."

"Old man, thank you for this."

As the voice rang out, an old man dressed in Taoist robes and with an immortal-like appearance suddenly appeared out of thin air above everyone's heads.

The old man clasped his fists and saluted Xie Shen and the others from a distance in mid-air, and said politely: "My two Taoist friends, this old man..."

"Stop talking yet."

Seeing that the old man seemed to be about to introduce himself, Deng Bin interrupted him rudely and waved his hand, "Come down."

"How could a mere cultivator at the Divine Transformation Stage like you fly so high in front of the two of us?"

"How come you don't know any manners?"

???

The old man was stunned by Deng Bin's words.

After a long while, he finally reacted and asked Deng Bin tentatively: "May I ask you two Taoist friends?"

Before he could finish his words, Deng Bin interrupted again, "Call me senior, understand?"

——While the two were talking, because of the noise they had just made on the street, the area was gradually surrounded by passers-by who came to join in the fun.

In front of so many people, the old man, who was scolded by Deng Bin twice in a row, felt a little embarrassed.

His old face flushed, and he spoke with a hint of anger in his tone.

"Both."

"I am a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage. I just called you fellow Taoists. I was giving you face."

"You are so aggressive, do you really think I have no temper?"

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the storage bag at his waist and took out a branch with a bright golden surface.

With their cultivation in the fusion stage, Xie Shen and Deng Bin could clearly feel it.

On the surface of the bright golden branch, there was a faint trace of original power surging continuously.

"That treasure"

Deng Bin stared at the branch with his eyes fixed, and said to Xie Shen who was standing beside him: "Xie Shen, you should have felt it too, right?"

“Yes.” Xie Shen nodded and replied: “Although the Transformation Stage cultivators in this spiritual world are short-sighted, they can’t even recognize us two Fusion Stage cultivators.”

"But his magic weapon is quite something."

"That magic weapon actually carries a trace of the power of origin."

"It seems that I have come to the right place!"

A cultivator in the fusion stage?
What kind of realm is this?
midair.

Hearing the frank conversation between Xie Shen and Deng Bin, the old man instinctively felt that something was not right.

He wanted to take the initiative to give in and make peace with Xie Shen and others.

But when he saw the onlookers on the street, who had already blocked the entire street, the old man didn't want to show his weakness in front of so many people, so he gritted his teeth and waved the branch in his hand that contained a trace of the original power.

This moment.

Suddenly, several vines appeared out of nowhere from where Xie Shen and Deng Bin were, and bound them tightly in place.

This immortal's trick immediately attracted the admiration of countless passers-by.

"This vine"

A passerby immediately said loudly: "I remember now."

"This is the method used by Master Xinghe of Wanxin City. I've heard my uncle talk about it before!"

"Even a martial artist at the Grandmaster level would find it difficult to resist this move."

"Now it seems that this move is indeed powerful!"

air.

After hearing the comments and exclamations of the onlookers, Xinghe, a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, showed a smug look on his face.

He lowered his head and looked down at Xie Shen and Deng Bin, stroking his long beard and saying, "My two Taoist friends, considering that we are both practitioners, and that it has not been easy for us to come this far, if you apologize to me now, I will not care about this matter anymore, how about that?"

"Heh" Xie Shen looked back at the cultivator called Xinghe.

He laughed and said, "You youngster."

"Although you are narrow-minded, just like a frog in a well, and you offended us unintentionally." "But considering that you have no intention of killing us two, you just want to make a big deal out of it and a small matter disappear."

"Then." Xie Shen said seriously, "Deng Bin and I will not take your life for now."

"what??"

After hearing what Xie Shen said, the old monk called Xinghe was completely confused.

Just when he was about to activate the black mist in his body to tighten the vines even tighter and teach Xie Shen and Deng Bin a lesson.

Suddenly, Xie Shen commented, "Your branch, which carries a trace of the power of origin, is indeed a treasure."

"But it's a pity that your branch is only a golden elixir-level magic weapon."

"The magic weapon is too low-grade. In addition, you, as the user, are only at the Spiritualization Stage. This means that the power of your magic weapon has an upper limit after all."

"I guess it can only be used to deal with cultivators of the same level in the Spiritualization Stage."

"But if you want to compete with cultivators like me in the Fusion Stage, you are still a little bit lacking in skills."

talking.

Xie Shen suddenly became translucent and walked out leisurely from the restraints of the vines.

at the same time.

Deng Bin, who also has the cultivation level of the fusion stage, is not willing to be outdone.

He lowered his head and looked at the countless vines entwined around his body.

As he looked, he saw a raging fire suddenly burning on the vines.

Moreover, the flames seemed to have spirituality. They only burned the vines and did not spread to the onlookers.

In this way, in just a short while, the vines on Deng Bin's body were burned to ashes by the flames.

As for Dunbin himself, he remained unharmed from beginning to end.

not far away.

Seeing Deng Bin burning all the vines with fire, Xie Shen said with a hint of contempt: "Deng Bin, you are already a cultivator in the Fusion Stage, how can you deal with those vines? And you still use the fire spirit energy you collected when you broke through to the Golden Core Stage? You use a method that all Golden Core Stage cultivators can use, which can be said to be a common method. Isn't this cheap?"

"Uh," Deng Bin laughed awkwardly, "Xie Shen, you know that."

"In terms of cultivation, I am always just one step behind you, and always just one realm behind you."

"That's why, every time I break through to the next level, you, who are ahead of me, will prepare the skills I need for my practice in advance."

"Since there is a ready-made technique to practice, then I naturally don't need to go out and look for opportunities."

"In this case, if I don't travel around and look for opportunities, my means will naturally be quite limited."

Just as Xie Shen was chatting with Deng Bin.

air.

Seeing that the vine spell that he was proud of was broken, Xie Shen and Deng Bin, who broke the spell, simply ignored him and kept talking and laughing with each other.

At this moment, no matter how stupid Xinghe, the cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, was, he had already vaguely sensed that Xie Shen and Deng Bin did not take him seriously at all.

This calmness doesn't seem to be fake.

So Xinghe's tone became a little more polite than before, and carried a hint of respect.

He clasped his fists towards Xie Shen and asked, "May I ask you two, is the 'fusion stage' you just mentioned the next level after the spirit transformation stage?"

"Why not?"

Xie Shen said with a smile: "I see that you have reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

"Since you are in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, I think you should have devoured some souls that are highly compatible with yourself."

"And those who devour souls usually go to other planets."

Xie Shen was puzzled and asked: "Since you have been to other planets, why have you never heard of the fusion stage?"

"Isn't this illogical?"

"There is something you two seniors don't know." Seeing that Xie Shen revealed his own cultivation level in one sentence and at the same time had an incomparable understanding of the cultivation methods of the Spirit Transformation Stage, Xinghe now completely believed that Xie Shen and Deng Bin were seniors who were ahead of him on the road of cultivation.

He spoke to the two of them in a respectful and humble manner: "Since the two seniors' cultivation is far superior to mine, I think the two seniors should also be clear about this."

"This world was formed by the spiritual power of the indescribable creature 'Wu'."

"Because of its special nature, there is naturally a large amount of original power in this world."

Xinghe continued.

“That’s why cultivators like us who grew up in this world will naturally gain a trace of the original power from this world in our bodies after reaching the Spiritual Transformation Stage.”

"That sounds like a good thing."

"After all, the power of origin is more pure than the black mist, and it is also a more powerful force."

"However."

When Xinghe, a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, said this.

Suddenly, Xie Shen below took over the conversation and said, "However, cultivators with the power of origin in their bodies will attract the attention of indescribable creatures, and may even be hunted down by them."

"So, with your cultivation in the Spiritualization Stage, you should have gone to other planets to devour other people's souls. However, because you have that trace of original power in your body, you are completely trapped and killed in this world."

"You can't go to other worlds, which means that as a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, you have limited knowledge and your cultivation has been stuck at the God Transformation Stage without any progress."

"Is my guess right?"

"That's about right!" Xinghe nodded helplessly, and continued, "Just like what the senior said, I have been stuck in the Spiritualization Stage for nearly two thousand years, and my cultivation has never made any progress. So in order to break through and go further on the path of cultivation, I found another way and thought of a way to extradite other people's souls to this world, and use it to devour their souls."

"Oh," Deng Bin suddenly looked at the warrior Yang Hong who was restrained by the spell, and said with a thoughtful expression, "So after all this time, the reason why Yang Hong traveled to this world was all because of you, a guy?"

"It's me." Xinghe responded with a wry smile and nodded.

Deng Bin was puzzled and said, "I don't think it's strange that you can extradite Yang Hong from Earth to this world."

"After all, the Earth and this world are connected."

"Any cultivator who has mastered the power of laws or the power of origin will have no difficulty in opening the passage connecting the two places."

“But the problem is.”

Deng Bin tilted his head and looked at Yang Hong and said, "Yang Hong was born around 2035 AD."

"And now it is the year 6425 AD."

Deng Bin asked Xinghe, a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, "So, how did you bring Yang Hong from 2035 AD to 4000 years later?"

on the street.

As soon as Deng Bin said this, before Monk Xinghe could respond, Xie Shen rushed to answer, "Deng Bin, have you forgotten?"

"When we landed on Earth before, we accidentally encountered a time turbulence."

"In that turbulence, there was also a human from Earth who accidentally traveled from the 21st century to the present."

"Perhaps, Yang Hong was also sent here by that time turbulence."

Xie Shen concluded: "Although it is impossible to go back to the past through time travel because of the existence of the grandfather paradox."

"But traveling to the future is scientifically supported by theoretical evidence."

"So there are people from the past who come to the future through the turbulence of time. Although this is rare, it is indeed reasonable."
