Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1379 - 38 Beyond the World

"This is... my physical body?"

Qin Lingxiao felt a shock in her heart, and subconsciously took a step back.

The twisted, bloodless body in front of her, if not her own, then whose?

She immediately looked down and, as expected, saw nothing.

Without a doubt, at this moment, she was in the state of a disembodied soul.

"Body and soul separated... What place is this?"

After a brief shock, she quickly calmed down and looked at her physical body again.

This time, she examined it much more closely.

The injuries on the physical body were not minor, and the vitality within was nearly extinguished.

But these wounds alone should not have caused her soul to be jolted out.

That was the perplexing part.

Qin Lingxiao hesitated for a moment, then walked towards her physical body.

The two quickly overlapped.

Yet even as she completely merged with her body, there was absolutely no trend of unification.

Not even the slightest feeling of familiarity.

Nor was there any sense of mana from the Yuanci within her Nascent Soul within the body.

It was as though the two were completely independent entities.

"Is it that strange wind? Or because of this place?"

A heaviness rose in Qin Lingxiao’s heart.

Unable to return to her physical body, unable to wield mana.

Without mana, in a place of undisclosed danger, she was far too passive.

She then rose and looked around.

Still the dark and profound cavern, and even deeper and farther, the impenetrable darkness.

Once calm, she could hear the whooshing of wind and the dripping of water deep within the cave.

The sound of dripping water was so faint that she could even imagine the splashes when it hit stalagmites below, falling onto the moss with an earthy scent on the nearby rock walls.

While the place was unreadable, there was also an inexplicable silence and tranquility.

An idea suddenly struck her:

"If I could retreat here for cultivation, indifferent to all worldly matters, never seeing those I don’t wish to see, that would surely be a fortunate thing."

But no sooner had this thought arisen than she involuntarily remembered a figure that she could never forget.

Then her heart gave a jolt!

"Right! Where did his incarnation go?"

"I recall Daoist Yuanci seemed to have been swept away by that strange wind too!"

"Could he also be here?"

"Oh right, Brother Xiang, Taoist Friend Rui and the others!"

She furrowed her brows in thought:

"The Immortal Ascension cultivator from Zhongsheng Continent made sure to push us into the strange wind before dying, undoubtedly to put us in a Dead Land... If I have come here, they are likely in the same situation."

"Then, could they be here too? Perhaps even nearby?"

With this thought, Qin Lingxiao couldn’t remain seated.

She glanced at her own tattered body.

She carefully started to move forward, groping her way.

Not knowing what this place was, even with the soul of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, she could not see far.

She hadn’t gone far when she suddenly stopped.

A shriveled corpse devoid of any signs of life was quietly seated not too far away.

The figure was unfamiliar, and the specific aura was imperceptible, seemingly long eroded by some unknown force.

However, the appearance of this corpse made Qin Lingxiao’s heart sink instantly.

She was sure now; her coming here was no accident.

"The strange wind brings people here, so the danger must also be here!"

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Lingxiao swept a glance over the corpse in front of her and then changed direction.

But after only a few steps, another corpse came into her view.

She paused, then changed direction again.

However, after making a round, she found that all around were similar corpses.

Only that the extent of shriveling varied, indicating that the time of arrival here by the strange wind was inconsistent.

But notably absent were the bodies of Daoist Yuanci, Xiang Sirui, and Rui Chunqiu.

"Could they have been blown farther away?"

Hesitating for a moment, she returned to her own body.

The vitality within, though weak, didn’t seem to have diminished much since before.

It was conceivable that she might have to spend some time here before the vitality of her physical body would be completely extinguished.

Thinking this, she finally made a decision.

After carefully listening to the water dripping in the cavern for a while, she then proceeded in the direction of the sound, slowly making her way.

Before long, she came across a cave entrance.

There, lay corpses of varying degrees of desiccation.

She glanced at these corpses, then silently passed through, continuing to follow the sound of water droplets, moving a little deeper.

Unexpectedly, along the way, there were no dangers, no Demonic Beasts, nor any peculiar traps.

It seemed that this was just a natural cave, devoid of any living beings.

However, the deeper she went, the more pronounced the Corrosive Force became.

It was then that Qin Lingxiao suddenly stopped, stupefied.

At the end of her vision, there was a faint glimmer of light.

"Could it be the exit?"

Joy sparked in Qin Lingxiao’s heart, and she quickly hastened her pace.

However, it wasn’t until she drew near that she was startled to find that it was a naturally smooth jade bi, mirror-like.

The light was emanating from it.

The jade bi could reflect a person, even clearly showing her own reflection.

Not the form of a dim soul, but a slender figure, with eyebrows and eyes as breathtakingly cold and beautiful as they had ever been.

Qin Lingxiao frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.
