Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Xiao Tian carried Zhao Mu on his back and jumped through the mountains and forests, while Liang Ping followed closely behind.

They didn't fly, and they didn't alert the people in the village halfway up the mountain. They just touched the ground with their feet and could jump several feet away, rushing towards the mountain like martial arts masters in the world.

After a while, they arrived at the top of the mountain.

Zhao Mu stood next to a big rock on the top of the mountain, carefully sensing the traces left by Xiao Jinyun's soul.

"She escaped underground." Zhao Mu stepped on the hard mountain beneath his feet: "Let's go down and have a look."

"Yes, master." Liang Ping promised.

Xiaotian, on the other hand, was full of doubts: "It's weird, isn't the mistress looking for a body to seize her body? Why did she end up inside the mountain? Is there someone else giving birth inside?"

"Just go down and take a look and you'll find out."

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, the three of them performed Earth Escape, and their bodies silently sank into the mountain at their feet.

They fled all the way, and soon their bodies became lighter and they entered a huge underground cave.

This cave is very spacious, and the inside has obviously been artificially modified, just like an underground palace.

However, the furnishings of this underground palace are very simple, simple and grand, and in the center of the palace, an altar was built.

Zhao Mu looked up and saw a transparent crystal coffin placed on the altar.

Around the altar, there are many bones scattered on the ground, which look like they were buried with the owner of the crystal coffin.

"Master, there seems to be someone in the coffin?" Liang Ping suddenly exclaimed.

"Xiao Ping'er, isn't it normal for someone to be in the coffin?"

Xiaotian didn't care.

"No, uncle, I mean the person in the coffin seems to be alive!"

"What, alive?"

Xiaotian was startled, and then he stared at the crystal coffin carefully.

Sure enough, there was a little girl of five or six years old lying in the crystal coffin.

The little girl has a rosy face and is very cute. The skin on her small body can be broken by a blow.

The most important thing is that the little girl's chest is rising and falling slowly, obviously breathing.

Do dead bodies breathe?

Of course not!

In this case, doesn't it prove that this little girl is alive?

But who would put a living child in a coffin?

"My lord?"

Xiao Tian quickly called Zhao Mu, but when he turned around, he found that Zhao Mu was staring at the crystal coffin with a serious expression, as if he had discovered something weird?

Liang Ping saw this and asked, "Master, what's wrong with the crystal coffin?"

"There's something wrong with the crystal coffin, and there's something wrong with the people inside."

Zhao Mu walked up to the altar as he spoke and took a closer look at the little girl in the crystal coffin: "You are only half right about one thing. This little girl is not alive, but in a state of half-life and half-death."

"Master, can you make it clearer?" Liang Ping was confused.

"To put it simply, this little girl is indeed dead and is already a corpse. But on the other hand, this corpse is alive, so it is said that she is half alive and half dead."

Zhao Mu's explanation made Liang Ping even more confused.

He had a look on his face that was hesitant to speak. He wanted to ask clearly but didn't know how to ask.

At this time, Xiaotian next to him said: "Lord, are you saying that this little girl is indeed dead, and even her soul has left her body and entered reincarnation?"

"But her body that was supposed to die and decay, but for some unknown reason, not only did it not decay, but it came back to life?"

"It's like...like a corpse turned into a spirit?"

Zhao Mu shook his head: "You are right, but you are also wrong."

"This little girl's soul has indeed left her body long ago, and her body has indeed died long ago and was later resurrected."

"But this kind of resurrection does not mean that a corpse becomes a spirit. The corpse demon that becomes a spirit is, to put it bluntly, a zombie. In fact, it is still dead."

"But this little girl's body is really alive. How can I say that?"

"It feels more like her soul temporarily left her body, and then someone used some means to keep her body in an undead state."

"All her body functions are normal. The only difference is that she has no soul and no consciousness."

Xiaotian and Liang Ping somewhat understood what the little girl's physical body was like.

"I remember that when cultivators disintegrate and re-cultivate, they usually look for unborn babies and seize their bodies when they are directly inside the mother's body."

Xiaotian clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Because in that state, the soul from reincarnation has not yet settled in the baby's body, and the body is in the most primitive state of chaos, so it is easier to take it away."

"The most important thing is that there is no soul conflict from reincarnation. The soul of the immortal cultivator can be perfectly integrated with the baby's body, and there will be no trouble of the soul and the body not being compatible."

"I thought that the mistress would also find an unborn baby to take over the body, but I didn't expect that she actually found a 'corpse' directly." "

"Although this 'corpse' is also alive, and although this 'corpse' does not have a soul, it still feels a bit weird."

"My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the mistress to fuse with this body, right?"

"Well, it won't be easy."

Zhao Mu nodded, looking at the little girl's body, he looked above the crystal coffin and saw a soul floating there.

The soul is naturally Xiao Jinyun's.

However, due to the protection of heaven, neither Xiaotian nor Liang Ping could see the soul. Only Zhao Mu could see it with the help of Hun Tianji's divine power.

At this moment, Zhao Mu could clearly see that Xiao Jinyun's soul was constantly releasing its own power, slowly penetrating into the body of the little girl below.

This is seizing one’s body!

However, compared to the normal process of seizing the body, Xiao Jinyun's process of seizing the body was slowed down thousands of times.

Generally, the soul of a cultivator who has disintegrated and re-cultivated may be able to enter the physical body in the blink of an eye, and the relationship between the two can begin.

But Zhao Mu estimated that it would probably take hundreds of years for Xiao Jinyun to complete the seizure.

This is because the little girl's physical body is not an unborn baby after all, and there is still a mysterious power barrier in her body.

Naturally, it is not easy to successfully seize such a physical body.

Fortunately, there is no other soul in the little girl's body, so as long as there is enough time, Xiao Jinyun will eventually be able to seize the body.

Zhao Mu thought for a while, then released a ray of spiritual thought to look at the crystal coffin and found that it was a magic weapon.

The refining material of the crystal coffin is a material that Zhao Mu has never seen before, but it contains huge vitality and spirituality.

You don't need to think about it to know that the reason why the little girl's physical body is full of activity depends on this crystal coffin.

"I don't know who put the little girl's body into the crystal coffin?"

"There are many people's bones around the altar, and they can be buried alive. It's not easy to imagine the identity of the little girl's family."

"They preserved the little girl's body in this way, are they thinking of resurrecting her in the future?"

"Or could it be that this little girl's body was originally prepared by other immortal cultivators for her to disintegrate and be reborn?"

Zhao Mu made a guess in his mind.
