Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1262

Chapter 1262 The Soul of a God Ascension Realm Cultivator

"You know where to find a God Ascension realm soul? Are you serious?" The Lord couldn't believe it even if it came from Yuan's mouth directly.

Living souls are already near-impossible to find, much less the soul of a cultivator who was near the pinnacle of cultivation before losing their physical form.

"In case you didn't know, only Cultivators that have surpassed the Immortal Ascension realm are able to remain in a soul-like state even after their physical body dies. Not only that, but they cannot remain in that state forever, as their soul will eventually vanish, so it must been someone who died within the last several thousand years. Where in Heaven's name are you going to find a soul like that?" The Lord couldn't help but inquire.

"While a soul may vanish within a few thousand years in the Nine Heavens, there is a unique place where souls wander for an eternity," Yuan said with a slight smile on his face.

"Y-You don't mean…" The Lord swallowed nervously.

"The Shadow Realm," Yuan confirmed the Lord's suspicion.

"Impossible! While it may be true that souls within that place exist for an eternity, these souls have all lost their minds and are no different than evil spirits! They will try to kill you before you can even start a conversation! There's no way you would find a logical soul at the God Ascension realm there!"

Yuan shook his head and said, "It is possible, as I have encountered two individuals there who were able to communicate with me. However, I am uncertain about their cultivation levels."

The Lord pondered with a frown on his face, "Most of the souls within the Shadow Realm are those who fought in the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods— or more specifically, those who fought against the Celestial Emperor and lost."

Yuan tilted his head and asked, "Now that you mention it, didn't the Evil God slay the Celestial Emperor and win the war?"

"There are actually two parts to the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods. When the war first started, the Evil God was not part of it, and the Celestial Emperor had successfully vanquished his opposers, sending them to the Shadow Realm for an eternity of suffering. After some time of peace, the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods started again with the Evil God at the forefront this time."

"Is that so…" Yuan mumbled.

"As for the Shadow Realm," the Lord elaborated, "it was created by the first Celestial Emperor, who employed it as a means to instill fear in others, compelling their servitude, and as a deterrent for those contemplating opposition against him."

"What about the Primordial Realm? Don't they serve the same purpose?" Yuan then asked.

"Indeed, but the Primordial Realm is much more forgiving and is meant for the living, while the Shadow Realm is intended for the deceased. However, following the demise of the first Celestial Emperor, the Shadow Realm has remained unused."

"Then it's decided. I will head to the Shadow Realm to find a soul who will be able to help us." Yuan said a moment later.

Furthermore, he still had a quest to finish in that place.

"Be very careful when you're there, Yuan. The souls there are extremely powerful, especially if they've managed to survive this long." The Lord warned him.

"I know, but the stronger they are, the higher the possibility of them being in the God Ascension realm, right?"

"I guess so…"

"Don't worry, we'll find a way to save Earth," Yuan reassured, his enthusiasm shining through with a comforting smile.
