Chapter 644: Soul Leaving the Body

In an unknown environment, Lu Ye was alert with his knife, but he soon relaxed because there was no danger around.

Unlike the situation he encountered when he entered the mirage before, there was no rolling fog around, and no monsters suddenly appeared. He was in a room.

The doors and windows were closed, and the furnishings in the room were simple, with only a table and a few chairs.

There was a teapot and a few teacups on the table.

Lu Ye walked forward and looked at the table. He found that the table was covered with a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

This seemed to be a place for guests, and there was a staircase leading upstairs on the side.

Lu Ye looked at the stairs, but did not go up immediately, showing a thoughtful look.

He was very curious about where this place was.

When he entered the mirage before, the environment was very simple, just in an open area, with fog rolling around, and enemies rushed out from time to time.

But after the two Xiguo cores merged, he pushed open the newly appeared second door and appeared in such a strange place.

What made him even more strange was his current state.

In fact, he had noticed something when he just came in. Some very strange changes had taken place in his body, but he just didn't have time to investigate. Now that he was sure that there was no danger for the time being, he began to check his own condition.

After silently sensing for a moment, Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.

Things seemed... not simple.

He found that his strength had increased a lot out of thin air!

Originally, his cultivation was at the level of the fifth level of Yunhe, but now the power contained in his body was more than the fifth level of Yunhe? It was probably stronger than those Yunhe ninth level cultivators he had met before.

In other words, he is now very likely equivalent to a True Lake Realm cultivator!

As for the level of True Lake... Lu Ye really didn't know. He had never come into contact with a few True Lake Realm cultivators. Without a comparison standard, it was really difficult to judge his current strength.

When crossing the door, Lu Ye suddenly felt that he had become stronger. Now it seems that it was not an illusion. He really became stronger.

But why is this so? Can this environment improve one's strength for nothing? This is obviously not reasonable.

What puzzled Lu Ye even more was that the power flowing in his body was not only spiritual power, but also another kind of power that felt strange but gave people a strange sense of familiarity.

Is this... the power of the soul?

When Lu Ye saw the essence of this power, he couldn't help but frowned.

What's going on? I am a fifth-level Yunhe realm... even if I am now equivalent to the True Lake realm, I shouldn't feel the power of the soul.

The power of the soul is something that every cultivator has from birth. As the cultivator's strength grows, the power of the soul will also be improved accordingly. But before the Divine Sea realm, the cultivators only have the power of the soul, and can passively resist some attacks on the soul with the power of their soul, but they can't actively feel it.

This is equivalent to a treasure hidden in the cultivator's body. A cultivator with insufficient strength cannot open this treasure.

Only when the cultivation reaches the Divine Sea realm and the divine consciousness is born, can one actively perceive the existence of one's own soul power and then use the power of the soul.

Just like Lu Ye, although he can sense many potential dangers because of the powerful power of his soul, this perception is strictly speaking only a passive ability, and it is still a small witch compared to the active divine thoughts.

The fights between the great cultivators in the Divine Sea Realm often involve the confrontation of divine thoughts. Sometimes it looks calm on the surface, but it is actually extremely dangerous.

Lu Ye can now truly feel the power of his soul flowing in his body. It is precisely because of the existence of the power of his soul that his strength has been greatly improved.

His soul power is far superior to that of cultivators in the same realm, reaching the standard of True Lake Realm cultivators.

Is this the reason for his sudden increase in strength?

Lu Ye slowly reacted. In this way, he is now... equivalent to a spiritual body? Just like Yiyi.

Isn't this the soul leaving the body?

But it is not quite the same as the normal soul leaving the body. In the normal soul leaving the body, the cultivator can only use the power of the soul, and cannot activate the spiritual power.

But now he is in a state where spiritual power and soul power coexist, which seems very strange.

He suddenly remembered that when he entered here, he had a feeling of breaking free from the shackles.

Now it seems that the shackles that were broken free came from his own body.

His soul cultivation is much higher than his physical cultivation, so after the soul leaves the body, he will have a feeling of breaking free from the shackles and become stronger.

This mirage is completely different from the mirage he entered before.

The previous mirage was just a projection. Whatever state Lu Ye was in in reality, the projection was the same state, including the things Lu Ye carried with him, the storage bag, and the things in the storage space, all of which would be projected into the mirage.

At the moment, this mirage is not just a projection. On the basis of the projection, it also pulls his entire soul over.

Lu Ye immediately felt bad!

In the mirage, his greatest advantage is that he is not afraid of death, because even if he dies, he will not suffer much loss. At the beginning, when his soul power was not strong enough, he would suffer for a long time every time he died. But since he obtained a lot of soul-cleansing water to cleanse his soul and make his soul power stronger, death in the mirage is nothing to him. It is nothing more than a feeling of being pricked by a needle in the head, which can be passed by enduring it.

But if he was in a state similar to the soul leaving the body, once he died, Lu Ye couldn't tell what would happen to him.

Died on the spot? Or was his soul severely damaged?

It seemed that he had to be careful next time, and he must not die here easily, otherwise no one knew what bad consequences would happen.

As for how to leave this place... Lu Ye had no idea for the time being, so he could only explore slowly.

Checking himself again, the Panshan sword and the weapon box were on his waist, and the storage bag and the storage space on the back of his hand could also be put away and put away freely.

Just as he thought before, he came in this time in the soul leaving the body state based on the projection, so the things around him could be used at any time.

And in this state, his only advantage was that his strength increased a lot.

He didn't rush to push the door and leave, and he didn't know the environment he was in for the time being. At least, this room was safe.

In the past, when he entered the mirage, he only needed to stand there, and a steady stream of monsters would rush out from the fog for him to hone his swordsmanship and fighting skills. Although it was monotonous and boring, it was also simple and clear.

The situation this time was much more complicated, so we needed to collect clues as much as possible to determine our current location and the dangers we might encounter.

He walked towards the stairs on the side. When he stepped on the stairs, the wooden floorboards made a creaking sound, which was extremely harsh in this quiet environment.

Lu Ye couldn't help but have some doubts.

Is this a mirage? He always felt that the mirage was an illusion, and everything he saw in the mirage was fake, so even if he died in it, the loss would not be great.

But this time, the mirage he entered was so real that it didn't give him any false feeling at all.

A dozen stairs, and he walked up quickly.

Lu Ye carefully poked his head out and looked towards the second floor, and then the whole person suddenly froze.

Because at this moment, he met countless pairs of gray-green eyes, all of which were compound eyes. Lu Ye could almost see the reflection of his stunned expression in those pairs of eyes.

On the second floor of the house he thought was very safe, there were more than a dozen Zergs hiding!

And it was the kind of Zerg that he was very familiar with, looking like a mantis!

He had killed countless of this kind of mantis, including other types of Zerg, when he was training in Mirage.

Why are there Zerg here too?

Before he could think deeply, the mantis Zerg lurking on the second floor had flapped their wings and flew towards the staircase. The first Zerg that rushed over raised its boring knife high.

The bright knife light flashed, and the Zerg was immediately cut in half, with green blood spilling and a pungent smell.

Lu Ye stood at the staircase, with the Panshan knife on his waist already unsheathed.

After killing the first Zerg, Lu Ye was relieved a little. The strength of these mantis Zerg was not too strong, and it was still in the range of Yunhe Realm. With his current strength equivalent to Zhenhu Realm, it would be easy to kill them.

Moreover, the previous training in Mirage made him know the weaknesses of these Zerg.

The knife flashed fiercely. Lu Ye stood at the entrance of the stairs without retreating a step. All the mantis insects that rushed over were killed one by one. In just a moment, they were all killed.

Spots of light flew out from the dead insect bodies. Unlike the crimson light that killed the monks of Wanmo Ridge, these lights were golden.

Killing insects can also get merits?

While Lu Ye was surprised, he became more and more certain that this was not an illusory scene.

Because he had killed so many insects in the mirage before, but he had never received merits. If he could get merits, it meant that the insects he killed were real.

But why can killing insects also get merits?

Lu Ye was curious about how many merits he could get by killing these insects, so he checked his battlefield mark.

The battlefield mark showed that the merits were more than 140,000. Lu Ye did not carefully record the specific number of his previous merits, so it was difficult to distinguish the standard of merits for killing insects.

Just when he was about to record the merit numbers and compare them later, he suddenly found a change that puzzled him.

The battlefield mark recorded his information, and the column of military merits showed: 576 points!

This number was obviously wrong, because in Lu Ye's impression, his military merits were only 56 points, and it had not changed for a long time.

After all, for a cultivator in the Cloud River Realm, he had few opportunities to come into contact with military merits. So far, there has only been one time!

That time in the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain.
