Chapter 4575 Xuanji Ancestor

Liu Wuxie and Ye Tianhao held their breath, staring at the coffin intently.

Fei Nu tore a hole in the lid of the coffin, and a breath of death surged out from the depths of the coffin.

Liu Wuxie and Ye Tianhao both clearly felt that their lifespans were being continuously shortened.

Especially Ye Tianhao, the life essence in his body was far less powerful than Liu Wuxie's. In just a short moment, he felt that his life span had been reduced by one third.

"Such a terrifying power of death! I feel like if I stay here any longer, I'll just die of old age!"

The Void Saint Realm also has a lifespan. When the essence of life is exhausted, it will eventually die slowly.

Many cultivators, in the second half of their lives, have their energy and blood exhausted. They can only turn their lives around if they obtain a heaven-defying opportunity or break through a realm.

For ordinary mortals, after they reach the age of fifty, even if they still have a few decades to live, they cannot stop the essence of life from slipping away day after day.

This is also the main reason why the major sects in the Heavenly Realm require that the age of the Holy Son should not exceed 500 years old.

Five hundred years is a long time for mortals, but for monks, it is the prime of life.

A semi-saint of a thousand years old belongs to the younger generation, a semi-saint of ten thousand years old belongs to the middle-aged, and a semi-saint of more than a hundred thousand years old has entered the second half. Even if a semi-saint has a lifespan of more than one hundred thousand years, he cannot stop the loss of his life essence, unless he can break through to the earth saint realm, greatly increasing his lifespan and breaking through the three hundred thousand year limit.

The length of life is also closely related to the power of rules. Among the cultivators in the Heavenly Realm, the semi-saints can live for hundreds of thousands of years. In the Ancient Divine Realm, the semi-saints are just the lowest-level cultivators, no different from ordinary people.

Rules determine everything!

The stronger the power of rules, the higher the requirements for the quality of life!

Liu Wuxie possesses a large number of trees of life, which are constantly decomposing the essence of life. As long as he does not encounter external harm, he is basically in a state of immortality.

If he encounters an external attack and his vitality is destroyed, he will still die.

A stream of pure life energy was injected into Ye Tianhao's body, and Ye Tianhao's lost life essence was instantly replenished.

Fei Nu has no life. He has been dead for countless years and is naturally not affected by the aura of death.

"Ong!"

A strange mist emerged from the cracked coffin and instantly filled the entire ancient tomb. Liu Wuxie and Ye Tianhao immediately covered their mouths and noses and held their breath.

"There's something strange about the ancient tomb!"

Liu Wuxie's spiritual consciousness entered the coffin along the crack, and saw a corpse lying in the coffin, lifelike, just like a living person.

Suddenly!

The corpse lying in the coffin suddenly sat up and pushed the lid of the coffin directly out. This scene made Liu Wuxie and Ye Tianhao step back together.

"Let's get out of here!"

Liu Wuxie made a prompt decision, brought Ye Tianhao into the Taihuang Holy Realm, summoned the flying slaves, and flew out along the stone steps.

This ancient tomb is much more complicated than they thought, especially the entrance, where people often come in and out.

Who on earth goes to the ancient tomb every day? Could it be that this is not an ancient tomb, but a place where some powerful person practices?

This is not the case. Liu Wuxie had just checked the corpse and found no life in it. It had been dead for many years, so how could it sit up again?

"I've waited so long and so hard, how can I let you go?"

A powerful aura swept out, and Liu Wuxie and Fei Nu were both fixed in place, unable to move.

No matter how Liu Wuxie struggled, no matter how he used all his means, his body remained motionless. This power was beyond his understanding.

Just as he had guessed before, the strong man in the ancient tomb was definitely an existence beyond the Earth Saint Realm when he was alive, and even in the ancient divine realm, he was a strong man.

"Senior, I have inadvertently entered this place and disturbed your rest. Please forgive me and let me go. I will be very grateful."

Liu Wuxie spoke quickly.

The force suppressing him has exceeded the limits of this world. The entire ancient tomb seems to be isolated from the world. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot escape from this world.

The corpse in the coffin had its eyes closed and slowly stood up. Then a soul emerged from the corpse, revealing an old man with an immortal look.

Judging from his appearance, this person doesn't seem like a wicked person.

Liu Wuxie has experienced so much that he no longer judges people by their appearance.

Some people may seem kind, but they are actually cruel and vicious.

"Yes, the body is very strong, and the soul power is not weak either. It can carry my spirit!"

The old man looked Liu Wuxie up and down, and said with a sigh, as if he was looking at a prey.

"Senior, are you planning to take over my body?"

There was a look of horror in Liu Wuxie's eyes. He was not a fool and he could tell at a glance that this old man wanted to take over his body.

The old man's body has exhausted its life essence and can no longer carry his soul, so he needs to find a new body.

"You are very smart and brave. I am a little reluctant to kill you. If my soul could not escape from this corpse, I would really let you go."

There was a hint of pain in the old man's eyes, and one could sense that this man was not a wicked person in his lifetime.

"Don't worry, senior. As long as you let me go, I will do my best to find a way to rebuild your body."

Liu Wuxie is trying to communicate with the Heavenly God Tablet to see if he can suppress this old man and help him escape from here.

His consciousness seemed to be imprisoned, and even the Moying Sword had lost contact with him.

Ye Tianhao was extremely anxious and kept shouting, but Liu Wuxie could not hear him at all and could only communicate with the old man in front of him.

"You've already opened the coffin. My soul has left my body and can only stay there for an hour at most. If it can't find a new carrier after an hour, it will disappear into thin air. Do you think I will let you go?"

The old man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a boundless aura swept out. Liu Wuxie's body felt like it fell into an ice cave, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Liu Wuxie knew that it would be difficult for him to leave here alive today.

He called out to the dragon spirit several times, wanting to hide in the Holy Dragon Tower. Apart from being able to sense his own body, everything else had nothing to do with him.

What kind of method is this that can isolate the power of heaven and earth?

"Since you want to possess my body, could you please let me die knowingly? People often came into this ancient tomb before. Why is that?"

Since he couldn't get rid of the old man, Liu Wuxie simply calmed him down first, wanting to know what had happened, perhaps he could find a glimmer of hope.

"It will only take a moment to take over your body. Since you want to hear it, I will tell you. First, tell me what time it is now."

The old man was not in a hurry to take over Liu Wuxie's body. His dormant soul had just awakened and he also needed to understand the outside world.

With his cultivation and soul, it would only take a moment to take over Liu Wuxie's body, so he was not in a hurry.

Liu Wuxie quickly told the current year and month, including the situation in the Four Elements Secret Realm, and the fact that the Four Elements Secret Realm had already separated from the Ancient Divine Realm.

After listening to Liu Wuxie's description, the soul floating in the air suddenly fell silent.

"I never thought I'd been asleep for 350,000 years. No wonder no one has come in after all these years."

The old man said with a sigh.

Hearing that the old man had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years but his soul had not dissipated, Liu Wuxie was incredulous, proving that the old man knew some things about the war that year.

"What do you mean by that, Senior? Did someone come in here often before?"

Liu Wuxie asked the question that was in his mind.

From the stone steps outside, he guessed that someone had come in often before, but he couldn't figure out the specific reason.

"You should have seen the villa outside before you came in!"

The old man's thoughts suddenly returned to the past, and his tone became much softer.

Liu Wuxie didn't dare to relax at all. He secretly mobilized his soul power and communicated with the nine seas of magical powers. The terrifying soul power was constantly brewing. He deliberately asked just to buy time for himself.

“I did see a dilapidated villa, but it had already decayed!”

Liu Wuxie briefly described the situation outside the villa.

"My name is Xuanji. The outside world calls me Elder Xuanji. In my prime, I reached the Ancestral God Realm. In my later years, I founded Xuanji Villa. Knowing that my life span was coming to an end, I cultivated a son to inherit my legacy. Later, I accidentally learned a technique that allowed me to seal my soul through a corpse. However, it requires a large amount of blood and essence to nourish it every month. After the soul stabilizes, it can be reborn in another body. After hundreds of years of cultivation, my soul power has finally matured. The first person to take over another body was my son. However, his body was too weak to withstand the power of my soul, and he eventually took over another body. Failed, I had no choice but to hide in the corpse again. Later I realized that my spiritual power was too strong for ordinary cultivators to withstand. Without blood supply, I gradually fell into a deep sleep. I didn't expect to meet you when I woke up again. After so many years, my spiritual power is far less than one ten-thousandth of its peak. You are the most suitable person to take over my body. In your prime, your body couldn't withstand even one ten-thousandth of my strength. Even if I wanted to take over my body, I would be powerless. You now are undoubtedly a godsend for me. Do you think I will let you go now? "

Ancestor Xuanji said meaningfully.

He has waited for so many years and finally found the right person. How could he let him go so easily?

His body and soul are too weak to bear the power of his soul.

His body and soul were too strong, so not only could he not take over the other's body, he was also prone to backlash.

He had just checked Liu Wuxie's body and soul sea, and they were simply tailor-made for him.

"You have a very good foundation. Once I take over your body, I will naturally lead you to a higher plane."

Ancestor Xuanji continued to speak.

After death, most powerful people can retain a part of their soul or life mark and pass on their inheritance, but only a few can continue to cultivate the power of their soul.

The magic of the Xuanji Patriarch is too strange. By feeding the essence and blood, the corpse can be immortal for hundreds of thousands of years and can also carry his soul. It is simply unbelievable.

The loss of blood and essence has caused his spiritual power to weaken continuously. If he continues to be fed with fresh blood, his soul may even leave his body and embark on the path of soul cultivation.

If he had not acted too hastily and taken over the body of his adopted son, perhaps the situation would have been different.

"Besides taking over someone else's body, is there no other way?"

Liu Wuxie asked tentatively.

Just now, he successfully mobilized the nine seas of magical powers and constructed a cage of the heavens. Even if he couldn't wipe out the soul of the Xuanji ancestor, he could still resist for a while.
