“Qin Mo, did you feel something?” The big black cat looked at Qin Mo.
Qin Mo placed his right hand on Qin Chen, and immediately, strands of invisible soul power swirled out from Qin Mo's body, trying to enter Qin Chen's body. What shocked Qin Mo was that once that strand of invisible soul power entered Qin Chen's body, it seemed to be blocked by a special force and could not enter at all.
How is this possible?
Qin Mo was taken aback. Although he and Qin Chen appeared to be two separate individuals, in reality, they were one soul. The soul could completely fuse together in an instant, but now, the divided souls couldn't merge at all.
No! Qin Mo suddenly shook his head. He sensed that it wasn't that the two divided souls couldn't merge, but rather that the speed of their merging was too slow. Qin Mo could feel the two souls slowly merging, but the speed was extremely slow, giving the impression that they couldn't merge.
At this rate, if he wanted to merge the two souls, it would take at least several years.
However, the weakening speed of Qin Chen's soul was even faster than the merging speed. This meant that even if Qin Mo continued to merge, within a month, Qin Chen's soul would completely dissipate and vanish into nothingness, a true fall from grace.
After Qin Mo shared his feelings with the big black cat, the big black cat furrowed its brow. “Could it be a soul mutation?”
Everyone looked over, their faces showing confusion.
“A soul mutation is a special state of the soul. When a martial artist suffers a severe injury, the soul can fall into a self-protection state until the injury heals, at which point the soul will awaken.”
“But Young Master Chen's injuries are completely healed!”
“That’s the peculiarity of soul mutation. Many times, when a martial artist's soul falls into sleep, after the injuries heal, in theory, the soul should awaken. However, if the injury was too severe, the soul can get trapped in a special state and becomes unwilling to awaken, leading to a gradual weakening until it completely loses its will.”
“Then, can Young Master Chen still awaken?”
You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue held onto Qin Chen's left and right hands, tears streaming down their faces.
“Of course, this is just my speculation,” the big black cat shook its head. “The soul is a very mysterious place. With this sovereign's current cultivation not restored, it's hard to say exactly what the situation is.”
“Lord Cat Emperor, tell us, what is Young Master Chen's chance of waking up?”
You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue looked up, their eyes red and resolute.
“The number of people with soul mutations is very few, and generally, it is high-level experts who cultivate certain soul secret techniques that lead to soul mutations,” the big black cat sighed. “As far as I know, there are only about seven or eight known soul mutation experts, all of whom are at the Holy Realm level, and among them, only one survived.”
You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue's bodies trembled.
“What about those below the Holy Realm?”
You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue were filled with fear.
“I have never heard of such a case. Below the Holy Realm, the soul is not even complete; how can it successfully mutate?”
The big black cat forced a smile. “The survival probability for those below the Holy Realm is zero!”
You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue's faces turned pale.
No, it can't be! “What should we do?”
You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue panicked, “We will transfer our soul power to Young Master Chen.”
“It's useless. Doing so will not help him and may even harm him,” the big black cat shook its head. “Soul mutations cannot be saved by anyone; it all depends on Qin Chen himself. However, fortunately, Qin Chen still has a clone, and with the clone maintaining, his chances of waking up may be slightly higher.”
The big black cat sighed.
In fact, it was also uncertain in its heart and could only comfort everyone this way.
Qin Mo sighed and stepped forward, transferring a wisp of soul power into Qin Chen’s body, maintaining the last trace of Qin Chen's soul aura.
