Chapter 782: Chapter 396: Nascent Soul Leaving the Body, A Rare Spectacle Not Seen in Ten Thousand Years [Subscribe Please]_2 Chapter 782: Chapter 396: Nascent Soul Leaving the Body, A Rare Spectacle Not Seen in Ten Thousand Years [Subscribe Please]_2 As soon as the Nascent Soul left the body, the cultivatorâs physical form became immobile, and any Golden Core Stage cultivator could easily destroy their body, forcing them to possess someone elseâs body and start their cultivation anew.
Moreover, every moment the Nascent Soul was out of the body, it would consume the cultivatorâs mana and essence energy. If it stayed outside for too long, it could severely damage the Nascent Soul Stage cultivatorâs vital energy.
Essentially, during battles between Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, it was impossible for one to suddenly let their Nascent Soul leave the body and join the fight directly.
Therefore, when True Person Qingxiao suddenly let his Nascent Soul leave his body in the midst of combat, he truly stunned the three Nascent Soul Stage True Persons present, who couldnât understand why he would take such a huge risk.
As for True Person Tianjing, who was directly involved, he was shocked and extremely unsettled and panicked.
He was clear in his mind that True Person Qingxiao wouldnât suddenly act recklessly without good reason.
On the contrary, since True Person Qingxiao had chosen to do so, it meant he must have had considerable confidence that this move would decide the outcome of the battle!
But the time left for him to react was far too short!
It happened in the blink of an eye; as soon as True Person Qingxiaoâs Nascent Soul left his body, the Green Light Flying Sword in his hand suddenly shrank to a fraction of its size.
Then he took a step forward and instantly disappeared above True Person Qingxiaoâs head, only to reappear next to a clone of True Person Tianjing.
At that moment, the clone had already been annihilated by the Nascent Soulâs flying sword.
âTeleportation Movement Technique!â
Outside the battlefield, True Persons Yinyue and Ziyang witnessed this scene and shouted out the Divine Skill used by True Person Qingxiaoâs Nascent Soul with somber expressions.
The Nascent Soul itself was a peculiar existence, neither tangible nor intangible, yet still truly existent.
When the Nascent Soul freed itself from the physical bodyâs shackles and appeared between heaven and earth, its connection with the laws of nature became very close, and thus it naturally grasped some Divine Skills related to the use of these laws.
For example, the âTeleportationâ Divine Skill is normally beyond the reach of even late Nascent Soul Stage great cultivators and only accessible to Divine Transformation True Monarchs.
But for a cultivatorâs Nascent Soul to use this technique, it was as easy as eating and drinking, as if it was something innate.
Of course, using this technique with a Nascent Soul had a significant toll on the Lifebound Essence, and each use could require several years of arduous meditation to replenish.
But at this moment, True Person Qingxiao seemed to completely disregard the depletion of his Nascent Soulâs Lifebound Essence, performing multiple Teleportations in quick succession, obliterating all of True Person Tianjingâs clones, leaving only the true body.
âYou are courting death!â
Now, only the original body remained, and True Person Tianjing let out a roar full of shock and rage.
After having all his clones destroyed, he finally had a chance to counterattack and immediately activated the golden Treasure Mirror he had collected earlier to shoot a devastating golden light at True Person Qingxiaoâs Nascent Soul, which had just Teleported behind him again.
However, just as the beam of devastating golden light seemed about to hit its target, True Person Qingxiaoâs Nascent Soul revealed a mocking smile and vanished into thin air once again with a Teleportation.
After this Teleportation, True Person Qingxiaoâs Nascent Soul appeared in front of True Person Tianjing and thrust the Green Light Flying Sword in his hand directly towards True Person Tianjingâs head, which was only inches away.
As the sword was launched, flames-like green light burned upon the bladeâan anomaly that appeared when the sword was augmented with Lifebound Essence, indicating that its power had been pushed to the extreme.
This strike was True Person Qingxiaoâs all-out effort, concentrating his lifeâs cultivation!
In an instant, the silver protective light around True Person Tianjingâs body was pierced by the flying sword as simply as piercing a piece of paper.
Then, as True Person Tianjing watched with bulging, furious eyes, the sword penetrated his forehead and exploded his head!
âQingxiao, you scoundrel, how dare you destroy my body and sever my path of cultivation? I swear to annihilate your disciples, to wipe out everyone in Green Lotus Temple!â
In the instant his head burst, a streak of golden light shot out from the body of True Person Tianjing, and in a flicker, it appeared thousands of feet away, revealing a three-inch Nascent Soul clutching a golden Treasure Mirror and a Storage Pouch.
It was True Person Tianjingâs Nascent Soul!
Having no other choice as his physical body was beyond repair, he resolutely chose to sever his own limb, letting his Nascent Soul leave the body and, using the âTeleportationâ Divine Skill, narrowly avoided being slashed by the flying sword.
But the vengeance for a destroyed body was an enmity as deep as the sky.
Therefore, once Tianjing True Personâs Nascent Soul had escaped imminent danger, his expression filled with resentment and anger as he hurled vicious threats at Qingxiao True Person.
How could he not hate?
As a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who had formed his Nascent Soul less than thirty years ago, he had not yet fully enjoyed the glory of his rank, and he should have had a very vast path of cultivation ahead of him.
But now, with his physical body destroyed, his only choice was to find a cultivator with decent potential for a Nascent Soul Possession to continue his practice.
Although it was said that oneâs cultivation level would not fall after a Nascent Soul Possession, a significant injury to oneâs essence energy was unavoidable.
Furthermore, the subsequent blending and adaptation between the Nascent Soul and the new body would require a lengthy effort.
Not to mention that even if he adapted well to the new body, his future cultivation speed would be greatly affected, virtually eliminating any chance of advancing to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.
This was truly a grievance that obstructed his path and threatened his cultivation life!
Such a great enmity, even if it meant killing Qingxiao True Person, would not be enough to quench Tianjing True Personâs thirst for vengeance, and even slaughtering the entire Green Lotus Temple would hardly extinguish the fury in his heart!
However, facing the defiance of that three-inch Nascent Soul, Qingxiao True Personâs own Nascent Soul coldly scoffed and said, âWipe out the entirety of my Green Lotus Temple? Do you really think youâll have that opportunity?â
Before his words had finished, he had already begun to pursue Tianjing True Personâs Nascent Soul aggressively.
Suddenly, an event that one might not witness in a thousand or even ten thousand years unfolded.
The Nascent Souls of two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators chased each other in the sky, frequently using Teleportation Divine Skills to engage in a pursuit that quickly vanished from the battleground high above.
Seeing this scene, Ziyang True Person, who had just managed to collect himself from the shock of the recent events, couldnât help but look at Yinyue True Person with a complex expression and said, âTaoist Friend Yinyue, what should we do? Taoist Friend Qingxiaoâs actionsâŠâ
He wanted to say Qingxiao True Personâs approach was against the norms, that it violated the agreement among the Nascent Soul Stage True Persons of Jingguo Country.
But midway through his words, he quickly realized that saying this seemed pointless now.
Now that Tianjing True Personâs physical body had been destroyed, and whether his Nascent Soul could escape Qingxiao True Personâs pursuit was uncertain, what was the use in bringing up rules?
Moreover, all these rules and agreements were informal, understood within their own small circle of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and never made public.
If Qingxiao True Person chose not to abide by them, they actually couldnât do anything to him.
âLetâs wait. Whether Taoist Friend Qingxiao succeeds or not in his pursuit, I believe he will provide us with an explanation!â
Yinyue True Person also looked at Qingxiao True Personâs physical body in the air with a complex face and sighed helplessly.
At this moment, the five Golden Core Stage Cultivators of Green Lotus Temple had already risen into the sky, and after bowing to Yinyue True Person and Ziyang True Person, they stood guard around Qingxiao True Personâs body, protecting it.
As for Yu Jinghua, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator from Tianjing Sect, his eyes were wide with shock as he looked at Tianjing True Personâs headless corpse, suspended in midair by Yinyue True Person, his body trembling slightly.
This outcome was certainly not what he had anticipated!
He had considered the possibility of Tianjing True Personâs defeat, but he never imagined it would be so utterly dire.
If Tianjing True Person truly perished here, he dared not contemplate the extent of his own miserable fate.
The Green Lotus Temple would surely not spare him!
âIt seems Tianjing old monster is done for, I canât afford to be buried along with him!â
âRun, I must escape immediately!â
âWhile the people of Green Lotus Temple are not paying attention to me right now, I must flee Jingguo Country at once!â
Yu Jinghuaâs heart pounded wildly as he stealthily turned and fled towards the Tianjing Sect.
Even if he was to flee, he intended to sweep away all the treasures of the Tianjing Sectâs treasure house and, hopefully, take along some of his trusted disciples brought from Spirit Beast Manor.
Armed with material resources and trusted disciples, with his Golden Core Stage cultivation, he could carve out a career wherever he went.
