Chapter 73: Mysterious Rescue
After pondering for a moment, Tan Yun took a deep breath. It seemed that he could only use the most dangerous method to check on the black-dressed girl's condition.
“Tang Girl, don’t be afraid. I’m here to save you,” Tan Yun said while sensing her three souls and seven spirits with his spiritual sense. He leaned down, his lips close to the black-dressed girl's ear, and whispered, “If you can hear my words, then control your three souls and seven spirits to release some information for me.”
After he finished speaking, there was still no reaction from her three souls and seven spirits.
“Tang Girl, don’t give up on your life. Can you hear my words?”
“…”
Tan Yun gently called out to the black-dressed girl, repeating himself for a full minute until he finally felt a slight fluctuation from her life soul.
The life soul is the most important among the three souls and seven spirits; if the life soul is destroyed, the cultivator will surely die. Other souls may be destroyed and the person may become an idiot or unable to move, but they will not completely die.
Feeling the faint fluctuation from the life soul, Tan Yun's heart tightened. He called out again, “Tang Girl, I need to enter your three souls and seven spirits to check the real cause of your ailment. Only then can I help you. Do you hear me?”
After speaking, he felt another slight fluctuation from the life soul.
“Since you heard me, you must do exactly as I say,” Tan Yun gently urged. “I will enter your three souls and seven spirits, which is extremely dangerous. You must not resist. If you do, with the current state of your three souls and seven spirits, you will die instantly and your soul will scatter.”
“Did you understand clearly?”
Immediately, Tan Yun sensed another faint fluctuation from the life soul.
To be cautious, Tan Yun confirmed, “If you understood, then let your life soul fluctuate twice in a row to tell me. This matter concerns your life, so do not be careless.”
Then, the life soul responded with two successive fluctuations.
“Very good. Now, stop resisting. I am going in,” Tan Yun said as his voice fell. He transformed his spiritual sense into strands and gently entered the heavenly soul to begin his observation.
Inside the heavenly soul, Tan Yun found himself in a pitch-black space where he could not see his hand in front of his face.
Tan Yun controlled his spiritual sense to retreat and then entered the earth soul and life soul sequentially.
Inside was as dark as ink, with not a trace of vitality.
“Understood. It's not that her heavenly soul or central soul is damaged. Instead, all three souls and seven spirits have suffered severe injuries.”
“It must have been the life soul that was most severely injured; if I hadn’t entered to check, I wouldn’t have discovered that all her souls were heavily damaged.”
“When the elder two of the Immortal Sect discovered her life soul was injured, she had taken the Revival Sovereign Pill. On the surface, it seemed that the life soul had healed, but internally it was still not recovered.”
“And at this moment, the heavenly soul and central soul had already erupted. By the time it erupted, it had reached an irretrievable point, which is why the elder two of the Holy Gate Danmai believed she was beyond saving.”
“If someone had been able to diagnose her three souls and seven spirits had all been injured, they could have refined a pill that derived from the three souls and seven spirits to heal her, but now it’s too late!”
As Tan Yun contemplated this, he took a deep breath, his expression puzzled. He turned to the elders and mused, “Where exactly did Tang Girl get injured?”
“Replying to the senior, she was injured over a year ago when the chief returned from the Fallen God Canyon,” Elder Five said truthfully.
“Wasn’t that during the Outer Sect Disciple trial?” Tan Yun frowned.
“Yes, senior,” Elder Five confirmed.
Hearing this, Tan Yun mused to himself, “At that time, while injured, she was still able to slay a fourth stage tribulation stage thunder ice demon eagle with a single sword strike. Clearly, her strength was at least at the great perfection of the divine soul realm.”
