Chapter 51 Possession
However, just as Shi An was immersed in the life experiences of the Purple Spirit Immortal, those originally clear images suddenly became abnormally distorted. Then, a powerful soul force broke free from them, carrying an irresistible will, and rushed straight into his sea of consciousness.
"This is... possession!"
Alarm bells rang in Shi An's mind. He never expected that the so-called test of the Purple Spirit Domain was actually a trap set by the Purple Spirit True Immortal in order to be reborn.
However, although Shi An was surprised by Zi Ling Zhenxian's actions, he remained calm and said, "Senior, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to possess my body?"
At the same time, within Shi An's sea of consciousness, the soul power of True Immortal Zi Ling condensed in the air, transforming into a phantom figure, which was none other than the previous World Spirit.
However, his face now held a hint of urgency: "That's right, the reason I left this Purple Spirit Domain is to wait for a physical body that can bear my will and power, so that I can be reborn. And you..."
"when!"
Unfortunately, before the True Immortal Ziling could finish speaking, a bell that seemed to have come from the beginning of time suddenly rang out from above his head, directly shattering his remnant soul and turning it into pure soul energy that merged into Shi An's sea of consciousness.
"That really is..."
Seeing this scene, Shi An couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Then, after glancing at the Chaos Bell that was always hanging high in his sea of consciousness, he calmed down and began to comprehend the influence that the remnant soul of the Purple Spirit True Immortal had brought him.
At the same time, as the remnant soul of the Purple Spirit Immortal merged into him, Shi An felt an unprecedented surge of information impacting his sea of consciousness.
This information was vast and complex, including but not limited to the cultivation insights, understandings, secret techniques, and supernatural powers of the Purple Spirit True Immortal throughout his life, which forced Shi An to observe and digest it slowly.
He was completely immersed in comprehending the legacy of the Purple Spirit True Immortal, using it to verify his own knowledge in order to break through his own limits.
And so, time slipped away unnoticed by Shi An.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Shi An emerged from the pass!
During this period, with the help of the legacy of the Purple Spirit Immortal, Shi An's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. He not only opened up the twelfth cave heaven, but also successfully condensed the phantoms of all the Ancestral Witches in the cave heaven.
Actually, if we have to say something, the opening of the Twelve Grottoes and the inheritance of the Purple Spirit True Immortal are not really related.
The reason why Shi An was able to successfully open up the twelve grotto heavens was mainly due to his experience with the Purple Spirit True Immortal. His life as a True Immortal, as vast as the sea of stars, elevated Shi An's state of mind to countless levels.
In fact, if it weren't for the Chaos Bell, he probably wouldn't even be called Shi An now, but Zi Ling.
After all, one is only twenty or thirty years old, while the other is measured in epochs.
But because of the existence of the Chaos Bell, he not only did not become another Zi Ling, but also successfully absorbed and refined his legacy, turning it into his own experience.
"Phew, time to go out!"
Feeling the surging power within him, Shi An took a long breath and then looked firmly at the stone tablet engraved with the words "Zi Ling".
This stone tablet is the central hub of the Purple Spirit Realm. Without its permission, no matter who it is, unless they are more than ten times stronger than the Purple Spirit in her previous life, even a true immortal would not be able to enter.
However, this did not include Shi An, because having obtained the Purple Spirit Legacy, he was very clear about the use of this stone tablet and the situation of the entire Purple Spirit Domain.
As Zi Ling, who had previously impersonated a spirit of the realm, said, the Zi Ling Domain does indeed store his life's insights, cultivation techniques, and so on. But in addition to that, there are many other things in the Zi Ling Domain, and these are all resources that Zi Ling prepared for himself after his rebirth through possession.
Unfortunately, some lower-level resources suitable for low-level cultivators have been completely destroyed by the erosion of time, leaving only some high-level resources that are currently useless to Shi An.
Shaking his head, Shi An raised his hand and touched the stone tablet.
"Buzz~"
The next moment, he left the Purple Spirit Domain and appeared in the outside world.
"Is nobody here?"
In the heart of the Black Abyss Ancient Land in the Great Wilderness, Shi An, who had just stepped out of the bronze gate, looked around with some confusion, but didn't pay too much attention. If no one was around, so be it; it wouldn't prevent him from putting away the bronze gate.
Thinking it over, Shi An turned around and made a series of handprints towards the bronze door.
Instantly, the bronze door trembled violently, and the divine patterns on the door burst forth with brilliant light. Then, a small stone tablet, about three inches long and two inches wide, engraved with the words "Zi Ling," flew out of the door and landed in Shi An's hands.
"receive!"
Shi An gave a light rebuke, and the bronze door transformed into a beam of blue light that disappeared into the stone tablet.
"It's time to go back."
After putting away the stone tablet, Shi An whispered something, then took a step forward and instantly disappeared from the spot.
A day later, in Shicun, Shi An's figure appeared on the horizon as the morning sun rose.
"That's...Xiao An?!"
At the village entrance, Shi Shoushan, who had been leading the children in training, saw Shi An appear and immediately ran into the village, shouting as he ran, "Little An is back! Little An is back!"
But what made Shi Shoushan extremely anxious was that no one believed him; instead, they all tried to persuade him.
"Shoushan, are you sure you're not mistaken? Didn't Liu Shen say that Xiao An is in seclusion in a secret realm? It's impossible for her to be back so soon."
"Yes, Shoushan. Liu Shen said that Xiao An is in seclusion in a secret realm. You must have seen wrong."
"You really didn't see it wrong! Go see for yourselves if you don't believe me!"
Seeing that no one believed him, Shi Shoushan was sweating profusely with anxiety. He could only grab the hands of several villagers and run towards the village entrance, explaining, "I guarantee that's Xiao An, there's absolutely no mistake!"
Seeing this, the villagers couldn't help but become somewhat skeptical, so they simply followed Shi Shoushan to the village entrance.
But when they arrived at the village entrance and saw that familiar figure, the entire Stone Village erupted in excitement.
"It really is Xiao An!"
"Xiao An is really back!"
"Xiao An, you're finally back! We were all so worried about you!"
········
Immediately afterwards, all the villagers gathered around, chattering away, their faces full of joy and excitement.
"I'm back, everyone!"
Facing the enthusiastic villagers, Shi An responded warmly, then looked at Shi Linhu and his wife, as well as Shi Yunfeng in the crowd, and said, "I'm back, Dad, Mom, and Grandpa Chief!"
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Linhu and his wife's eyes reddened slightly, and they nodded repeatedly. They then took a few steps forward and tightly grasped Shi An's hand, looking him up and down as if trying to see through the changes in him over the years, and as if afraid that he would disappear again.
Shi Yunfeng looked at Shi An with a face full of satisfaction, his aged voice trembling slightly: "Child, you have grown up and become stronger."
