God Emperor

Monks of the Buddhist Way focused on cultivation of the spiritual power. If even this old monk hadnt reached the level of a Spiritual Power Supreme Saint, then probably no one in Kunluns Field could be a Spiritual Power Supreme Saint.

Disappointment colored Zhang Ruochens eyes.

“Life and death are all part of fate,” the monk said, comforting him. “There is no need to force anything.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “I understand this, but after coming to the netherworld, I heard rumors about the Pill of Resurrection. Thus, this unrealistic wish was born.”

“Actually, if you really do find that rumored Pill of Resurrection, it is possible for those with scattered souls to come back to life.” The monk sat cross-legged and gestured for Zhang Ruochen to sit too. Then he said slowly, “First, you must understand that a person has three souls: the Celestial Soul, earth soul, and human soul. When one speaks about scattering souls, it means that the human soul is shattered and dissipated. It doesnt actually have anything to do with the Celestial Soul and earth soul.”

It was Zhang Ruochens first time hearing that a humans soul had three parts. He found this intriguing and asked, “Why wont the Celestial Soul and earth soul break?”

“Its not that they wont break. Its just that they are stronger and wont break so easily. Take the earth soul for example. The so-called earth soul is like a humans shadow. As long as the humans body exists, the earth soul will forever exist. When the human is buried after death and the physical body becomes one with the earth, becomes white bone, becomes the dirt, becomes dust, the earth soul becomes one with the earth.”

“Thus, even if a mans soul is scattered, as long as their earth soul isnt destroyed, they can come back to life. They havent truly died.”

“Really?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The monk chuckled. “Not necessarily. Everyones understanding of life is different. Some ancient Sages believe that the earth soul wont scatter, but it also wont meld into the ground. Instead, itll enter the so-called Hades and netherworld.”

“Theres another situation. If someone dies in a special time or place, the earth soul will separate from the body and become the evil ghost soul.”
