Chapter 216: Confusing

"Another one, my soul?"

This is indeed a result that Fang Chen would never have imagined.

Counting this way, he already has three souls.

"Wait, three souls?"

Noticing this special number, Fang Chen immediately remembered a concept from his previous life.

Three souls and seven souls.

If the soul he met in the Lianyun Mountains was his last soul, it would indeed fit the concept of three souls.

As for the seven souls.

In fact, soul and soul are two concepts.

The seven souls are all in the body. If the body is lost, there will be no so-called seven souls.

However, it is a habit to use soul together. Soul can refer to three souls and seven souls, or it can also refer to the soul body alone.

There is no strict definition in the world of cultivation, so if you say this, you won't be criticized.

It's just that since he traveled to the world of cultivation, he has never heard of the concept of three souls and seven souls, so he is not sure whether this guess is correct.

After all, Zheng Pingkang, who was born as a ghost king, did not mention this matter.

Of course, Zheng Pingkang was once just a mortal. He just became a ghost queen and awakened some inherited memories. It is normal for there to be omissions.

And Tianfeng Sect can be considered a famous sect after all. Ye Qingyang's life span is long enough, and in order to solve the problems of his own Zi Mansion, he must also know a lot about souls.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked Ye Qingyang: "Old Ye, have you heard of the concept of three souls and seven souls?"

"Three souls and seven souls?"

Seeing that Fang Chen hadn't spoken since he said to call for help, Ye Qingyang just stood there, waiting for his next move.

Unexpectedly, he asked this question so coldly that Ye Qingyang did not react at first.

But soon, Ye Qingyang realized Fang Chen's problem, thought about it for a while, and said: "Of course I have heard of it. There is basically no controversy about the seven souls. It's just that there are many opinions about the three souls, and I don't know. Which one is true."

"What are the opinions?"

Seeing that Ye Qingyang knew something, Fang Chen immediately asked.

"There are currently two mainstream views. One is that the three souls are the soul of life, the soul of earth and the soul of heaven. Among them, only the soul of life, also called the human soul, is in Niwan Palace, while the earth soul and heaven soul are in in vitro."

Fang Chen's eyes lit up after hearing Ye Qingyang's first explanation.

This is exactly the same as his situation.

His own life soul was in Niwan Palace, and then he met the clone of Ling Nian, which might be one of the earth soul or the heaven soul, and then he met another one today.

This view was so consistent with his situation that Fang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Why are the Earth Soul and Heaven Soul not in the body?"

"Monks who hold this view believe that the heavenly soul is above the heavenly palace and determines the monk's fate, while the earth soul is under the netherworld and is in charge of the monk's destiny. Only by attaining Taoism and becoming an immortal can the three souls be gathered in the body and truly control oneself. Destiny!”

Ye Qingyang also became more and more passionate as he spoke. There was no other way, and which monk could refuse the temptation of controlling his own destiny?

Fang Chen felt okay after hearing this.

Destiny is so elusive.

What's more, can you control your own destiny by becoming an immortal?

He doesn't think so.

Long Jia was a real immortal ten thousand years ago, but now he has become a golden elixir monk.

Of course, ordinary human Jindan monks have no chance of defeating him when fighting alone.

If you want to transcend fate and become a so-called immortal, I'm afraid it's not enough.

“What about the other mainstream view?”

After understanding this statement that was very similar to his own situation, Fang Chen also wanted to hear what the other group's views were, so that he could have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.

"There are very few records of this view. We only know that they believe that the three souls are originally one body. Instead, they need to separate the three souls from this one through practice to control the past, present and future."

Ye Qingyang also immediately told what he knew.

Fang Chen touched his chin. This statement had no similarity with his situation.

"City Lord, why are you asking these questions so suddenly?"

Seeing that Fang Chen didn't seem to have anything else to do, Ye Qingyang raised his doubts.

"It's a long story..."

Ye Qingyang was not an outsider, so Fang Chen briefly introduced the situation of Ling Nian's clone, and the tree spirit said that his soul was found here again.

"Hiss--So, City Lord, your situation really fits the first theory, so now don't you have the three souls of heaven, earth and man gathered together and you can control your own destiny?!"

After hearing this, Ye Qingyang first took a breath, and then looked at Fang Chen with an interested expression.

It seems like he wants to know what it is like to be able to control his own destiny.

"It can't be that simple. Destiny is unpredictable. Even the golden elixir monks sometimes don't get what they want. What's more, I have just built the foundation. What's the use of having three souls gathered together?"

Fang Chen shook his head. If he could really control his own destiny, he wouldn't have to go to the Lianyun Mountains to look for clues about the souls of the original owner's parents.

"What if it's true? And even if he can't control his own destiny and has another soul, wouldn't the city lord be able to create another incarnation?"

Ye Qingyang also felt that this statement was outrageous, but he also took a chance.

And let alone those invisible and intangible things that control destiny, with one more soul, Fang Chen can have one more incarnation.

It’s not without gain.

"That's true."

Fang Chen nodded, and then asked the tree spirit how to collect his soul.

After all, he couldn't sense this soul with his spiritual sense, and the ghost realm didn't seem to have much attraction to him.

"Leave it to me."

The tree spirit had just listened carefully to Ye Qingyang's talk about the three souls and supplemented his new knowledge.

Seeing that Fang Chen asked about a topic he was familiar with, he also confidently took on this task.

Facts proved that he was not bragging.

After a while, Fang Chen and Ye Qingyang saw that in the position they were paying attention to, a soul slowly became clearly visible from transparent.

This soul has already entered the path of ghost cultivation. Judging from the aura, it should be equivalent to the existence of the third level of Qi training, but unlike other souls of this level, the face cannot be seen clearly, and it has distinct facial features.

And it looks like Fang Chen is 70% similar.

"From this point of view, this is indeed like your soul, the city lord."

Ye Qingyang looked up and down at this soul, and then gave a conclusion.

Fang Chen rolled his eyes at him, opened the entrance to the ghost realm, and took his soul in.

"Huh?"

I thought everything was fine, but the tree spirit made another puzzled sound.

"What happened again?"

Fang Chen was curious and probed his consciousness into the ghost realm.

"Master, the ghost realm is absorbing the memory of your soul!"

The tree spirit had already reported the situation to him as soon as his consciousness entered the ghost realm.

For a moment, Fang Chen was also confused.

It stands to reason that he is the master of the ghost realm, and his soul should not be absorbed by the ghost realm.

How could this happen?

"Lianyun Mountains, I really came to the right place."

Fang Chen sighed. He originally just wanted to verify his ideas, but he didn't expect the situation to become more and more confusing.

The second update today, presented.

I have been working a lot recently, and I am a construction worker. I don't have much rest. Please forgive me.
