Luo Tian jumped in fright at the sudden sight of these resentful spirits.
The number of them here had exceeded his imagination.
Moreover, the cultivation base of each one of these resentful spirits was stronger than him. He couldnât tell what realm they were in.
These resentful spirits were similar to a spiritual body, where they could make cultivation breakthroughs. The only issue was that it took them a long time.
But one cannot imagine what itâs like being restricted to one place for ten thousand years. So, even though their cultivation speed was very slow, there were still many resentful spirits reaching terrifying realms of strength.
They were one squad of very powerful spirits!
This was Luo Tianâs first impression.
Moreover, the strongest point of this squad was that no one could see them. Once they attacked, it was nearly impossible to block!
The resentful spirit in the lead walked over and said respectfully, âKind-hearted person, thank you for helping us. As long as you help us break free from the Soul Splitting Sword, we will use all our strength to help you with one thing.â
âThatâs right! Thatâs right!â
âWe, resentful spirits, cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation and are forever oppressed by the Soul Splitting Sword. For these 13,876 years, we have suffered more than any typical ghost would. This feeling is worse than being killed.â
âKind-hearted person, you have to help us!â
Many resentful spirits voiced out, but their voices were a bit creepy, so it could make anyone feel their hair stand on end.
Based on their words, Luo Tian asked, âSo you guys are saying you are basically all immortal or something?â
âRight.â
âWe will never fully die in a sense and will never disappear.â
âThis is the curse that a sorcerer placed on our souls. He wanted us to suffer in this state forever.â
ââ¦â
âSo strong!â
Luo Tianâs heart shook, âNow, this is what I call a truly immortal army! Isnât this a bit too overpowered?!â
Immediately after, Luo Tian asked skeptically, âSince you guys have undying bodies, why not go and shatter that Soul Splitting Sword yourselves? Iâm only a Martial Void ranker, yet you guys want me to help you break that sword? That sorcererâs spiritual body might have reached the Divine Sea realm cultivation, so how am I his match?â
The resentful spirit in the lead replied, âYou donât understand. Although we have immortal bodies, we are imprisoned and can only move within a five kilometer radius of the Boundless Sect. We also want to break that Soul Splitting Sword ourselves, but before we can even get close to the main hall, the Soul Splitting Sword emits a soul-destroying force that completely obliterates us. Weâve tried countless times, and the result is always the same.â ðAÎá»ð±ÎSÌ
Even an immortal body has a time when it can die.
Luo Tian started thinking. If he wanted to figure out where the bug was, he had to analyze every word these resentful spirits were saying.
Before Luo Tian could speak, that resentful spirit said, âWe are resentful spirits, where normal attacks are useless against us. But there is one type of attack where touching us will cause our demise, and that is the power of a sorcerer.â
âThat spiritual body inside the main hall may not be a sorcerer, but it still has a trace of heavenâs chosen power due to it being an existence that came from a sorcerer. We are afraid of that power, so we do not dare to get close.â
Luo Tian remained in thought.
All the resentful spirits stared at Luo Tian, afraid he was going to leave.
But even if Luo Tian chose to leave, they wouldnât blame him. They understood the task was simply too difficult to take on.
Luo Tianâs cultivation base was too low. If they hadnât clung to him, most likely, Luo Tian would be dead inside already.
The resentful spirits inside the Boundless Sect were very malicious. Any humans or demonic beasts straying in will be killed by them.
This was why there werenât any demonic beasts in this area.
âSecond Elder, I think we should forget it. This little brotherâs cultivation base is too low. He wonât even be able to deal with the Great Diffusion realm spirits, let alone a spiritual body at the Divine Sea realm.â
âThatâs right. Him agreeing to help us has already made me very happy. During the past ten thousand years, heâs the first person to want to help us.â
âSigh~, perhaps this is our fate.â
âIt was all because of that demonic woman. If it werenât for her, our Boundless Sect wouldnât have ended up like this.â
âThereâs also that devil sectâs sorcererâ¦â
Many resentful spirits griped about their situation.
They really didnât have much hope in Luo Tian and were only trying to protect him when they clung to him.
They were overjoyed when Luo Tian agreed to help them. But they knew very well that it was impossible for him to shatter the Soul Splitting Sword with his cultivation. Even if they all combined their strength, they would still not be a match for a Divine Sea ranker.
A while later, a brief glint appeared in Luo Tianâs eyes as he looked up.
More than half the resentful spirits had now wandered off, except for the one in the lead. He was staying around Luo Tian as a form of politeness, or else he would have left too.
Seeing that there was a glint in Luo Tianâs eyes, that resentful spiritâs mind shook.
Luo Tian looked at him and asked, âYou guys said that you cannot get close to the Boundless Main Hall?â
That resentful spirit nodded, âThe Boundless Main Hall is protected by the Soul Splitting Sword, and we will be killed if we get too close. It doesnât matter if itâs one of us or a dozen of us; we will turn into powder. Even though we arenât afraid of death, we still want to enter the cycle of reincarnation and have a second chance at life. If our resentful spirit bodies get destroyed, we will lose the chance at reincarnation.â
Everyone is afraid of death, even resentful spirits.
They, too, yearn to enter the reincarnation cycle.
Luo Tian smiled, âYou guys are saying that once I pass the sect gates, I will encounter very powerful and malicious resentful spirits?â
âThatâs right. What about it?â
Luo Tian then asked, âHow is your cultivation compared to theirs?â
The resentful spirit replied, âWe are about the same, but we are basically unable to kill each other because we have immortal bodies. But living humans can definitely kill them, except your cultivation is too low. You wonât be able to even get close before dying.â
âSure enoughâ¦â Luo Tian smiled in excitement.
âThat should be where the quest bug is, right?â
âHeh heh⦠I feel like Iâm a fucking genius!â Luo Tian praised himself in excitement.
As a professional gamer, one not only has to be good in games and good in control. They also had to be good at analyzing everything within the game.
Luo Tian looked at them and said, âI have a plan that can help you guys!â
The look in the resentful spiritâs eyes became agitated. From the moment he first saw Luo Tian, he felt that Luo Tian was not ordinary. The reason he didnât leave was because he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Hearing Luo Tian say this, his voice trembled as he asked, âTell us. As long as you can help us shatter the Soul Splitting Sword, we can do anything you need.â
Luo Tian smiled and said, âI want you guys to send me directly to the Boundless Main Hall. If you guys can do that, I will help you shatter that Soul Splitting Sword!â
