Chapter 2601: Split Soul! (9)
The last few pages of the scripture had an extensive record for the requirements of executing the “art of Split Soul”.
First of all, the execution of the art on the soul of the person who had been scattered must be as short as possible. Theoretically speaking, if the art was executed at the time of death, it would be the best option.
Next, the primordial spirit of the person who was executing the art should be as powerful as it could be. Otherwise, he would not be able to endure the pain of heavenly thunder striking down on him. The heavenly thunder would be able to shatter one’s primordial spirit instead of diving it in half! If the spirit and soul were scattered, then there was no need to talk about saving someone else.
Lastly, both the executioner and subject needed to have a powerful spiritual link. That is to say, they were required to have deep feelings for each other.
After the soul and spirit had been split, that portion of primordial spirit that had been given out would need to rely on this internal link, to seek out the primordial spirit of the person who he was trying to save. Moreover, both parties must be completed fused.
If their spiritual link wasn’t enough, then their soul traces would start to repel and attack each other, resulting in it being dissipated.
Reading to this point, Huang Yueli started to get a brief understanding of this.
The hardest condition to achieve was the third point.
The first two conditions weren’t difficult at all.
For those people who failed, since they dared to execute the art, they should be confident of the intensity of their primordial spirit. They should also have mulled over the time to save the other party and executed the art only after deeming the suitability of the two conditions.
Only the third condition was something that one didn’t have enough probability.
Saint Iniquitous Shadow, who created the art of Split, and his wife were the only pair who had possibly succeeded. If they had succeeded then, the most likely possibility was that their feelings towards each other were deep enough for them to conquer the third condition.
Huang Yueli was getting a little absorbed into this and she didn’t pay any attention to Mu Chengying and Cang Po Yu’s conversation.
By the time she regained her senses, Mu Chengying had already kept away the scripture and turned around to leave.
Cang Po Yu knelt on the steps and kept on kowtowing, hoping to make Mu Chengying change his mind. However, the latter didn’t even turn back to take a look at him.
Mu Chengying spent the entire night reading the contents of the scripture. Early morning the next day, he passed down his instructions to collect all those treasures which could attract the heavenly thunder. At the same time, he set the execution date to be three days later.
He was in such a rush because that day was the ninth day which Huang Yueli’s soul had scattered.
If one’s death had exceeded by nine days, then it was impossible to summon back the scattered soul.
Blue Profound Sect’s ordinary disciples didn’t know about Mu Chengying’s intention hence they were very enthusiastic in gathering those materials. Very quickly, he had already gathered all the treasures that he needed.
Cang Po Jun and the others were not feeling the same. They took turns to head over to Levitation Sword Palace and tried to persuade Mu Chengying. But all they were given was his cold shoulder.
In the end, even Liu Buyan who had renounced his friendship with Mu Chengying, also rushed over on the evening of the last day.
“Mu Chengying, get out here right now!” Liu Buyan was not deferential towards Mu Chengying at all, unlike Cang Po Jun and the others.
He knocked on the door and when there was no answer, he just broke the lock and barged in!
“Mu Chengying, are you really going to seek your death? Don’t think that I don’t know. No one had ever succeeded at that art of Split Soul! Even if it was Saint Iniquitous Shadow, that was merely a legend which no one knows if it’s true or fake! There’s no meaning for you to do this at all!”
Mu Chengying shot a glance at him and stood up immediately.
“It’s time.”
