The Supreme One

Chapter 576 Pay Half First

Even for him, it is better not to have an unstable factor like Xia Xian, so he just let this little spark run wild.

If I really make that old man angry, the biggest price I will have to pay is handing him over in exchange for his life.

Considering the importance Xia Xian holds in his heart, this price is not excessive.

As a result, he didn't expect that the little guy Xia Xian would hide in the banyan tree and create something incredible again.

Unfortunately, ever since Xia Xian entered the giant banyan tree, he has been protected by the old wood.

He could see the situation in Gurong City with the help of the light, but how could he see it while inside Master Gurong's body?

And the giant banyan tree, after being planted, was naturally connected to Lord Gu Rong and became a part of Lord Gu Rong, so he naturally couldn't see through it.

But what he could see was that even if a group of Taoist masters joined forces to attack in the end, they could smash Xia Xian, who they had brought out, into pieces so big that even Sen Gurong could not put him back together.

The most important result was that he didn't even feel the slightest trace of the Book of Infinity being shattered!

Even if everything else proves that Xia Xian is dead, this little doubt is enough to prove that Xia Xian is definitely not dead!

He knew that Xia Xian had the artifact-level Book of Endlessness on him. He had also met other book keepers and naturally knew some relevant information about the Book of Endlessness.

Normally, the Endless Book resides directly in the soul of the book keeper, or it can be said that it resides in the soul woven by the web of rules within the book keeper's body.

It is natural that such a great way as the soul has not been comprehended by people. In fact, it has been comprehended by many people. Therefore, the way of the soul has become strong enough under the strengthening of generations of Taoist masters.

The place of the soul is only a part of the soul rules. All intelligent life in the world has a soul. If there is no intelligent thing, this rule will be hidden.

The abode of the soul is the body, but this is the initial situation.

After the soul rules appear, or after all the rules are understood, the Taoist masters will naturally think about strengthening these rules from all aspects.

One way to strengthen the rules is to add some reasonable and feasible features to them.

The existence of the soul place can enable the soul of intelligent life to be further improved and become more stable.

For example, intelligent life does not necessarily have a complete soul at the beginning. When the soul becomes strong enough, it can aggregate and undergo qualitative changes, giving rise to the existence of the soul.

And during this period, the soul is born, and the place for the soul is opened up.

Different ethnic groups and places have different names for the place where the soul is. Some call it the Soul Sea, and some call it the Spirit Residence, but they all refer to the same thing.

In the era before the emergence of the soul rules, the souls of intelligent beings were not as stable as they are today.

It is even vulnerable to the impact of external spiritual objects. At that time, the soul is not strong enough, and even the spiritual perspective cannot be opened casually.

But now, any casual cultivator can look at all kinds of spiritual objects in the world at will without worrying about the impact of their spiritual power characteristics, because of the existence of this soul place.

It is because of the continuous improvement and growth of rules that there are so many cultivators in today's era.

It is much easier for cultivators today to practice than when the way of cultivation first appeared.

The existence of this soul place also enhances the concealment of the monk's own soul. Under normal circumstances, others cannot see what is happening inside the monk's soul place.

Unless one uses some means, or relies on a powerful soul to capture some soul information emitted from other people's souls, in order to discern the situation in the other person's soul.

Otherwise, even a Taoist master like him would not be able to know what is happening in the other person's soul.

As a divine artifact, the Book of Infinity obviously cannot be so low-end as to leak out any information.

Therefore, only when Xia Xian's soul was destroyed at the moment of his death could he capture the information of the Book of Endlessness.

Although that attack was a combination of attacks from many Dao Lords, it was, after all, a book of rules at the artifact level, so there had to be at least a very short collision of rules.

But if there is nothing at all, then it is obviously abnormal.

As the master of books, he basically never puts down the Book of Endlessness. What's more, Xia Xian has already anticipated the possibility that someone might attack him. How could he not bring such a trump card?

So if you think about it simply, it is obvious that Xia Xian is not the one who does not bring the Book of Endlessness.

This kind of situation was not uncommon in his knowledge. After all, this world had existed for so many years, and all kinds of things imaginable and unimaginable had basically existed.

And he knew that there was a race in the past that had the ability to clone itself.

Similarly, there are races that have the ability to split their souls.

Of course this isn't like these incarnations of the rules overhaul.

These rule overhaulers possessed the original spiritual power, so they could directly use the original spiritual power to create a body, and then inject the original spiritual power as the soul of this body, which naturally had no problem.

However, no matter how similar the split soul formed by the original spiritual power is to themselves, it is ultimately just a split soul and not the original body!

Just like all kinds of spiritual life in the world, as long as a little bit of means are used, their original spiritual power can also have the same thinking ability as ordinary people, and naturally there is no difference from the soul.

But after all, that was just the original spiritual power, still completely controlled by their rule overhaul, and completely different from the split soul.

The races that have the ability to split their souls are considered alive as long as there is still one split soul alive, but once the main body that overhauled their rules dies, even if there are still split bodies in the outside world, they will still gradually and irreversibly dissipate and die.

Similarly, the place of the soul is also a key to judging whether it is a real soul or not.

Unless you have comprehended the rules of the soul, the soul only exists in the main body, not in the split body.

However, the assessment of the academy of Sengu Rong borrows the power of Sengu Rong, and requires its real body with a soul to participate.

And he really didn't notice anything abnormal with Xia Xian's body, and there was nothing wrong with his soul.

But the result is that this is indeed a split!

At the same time, on the other hand, after Xia Xian's clone was destroyed, the little guys around him suddenly calmed down after a moment of panic. It was obvious that Xia Xian was hiding in the giant banyan tree and communicating with them.

Then, the next moment, his sight could no longer enter the Ancient Banyan Forest.

It was obvious that the old man was angry and blocked his view.

He had no way to deal with this. Not only him, but also other Taoist masters who originally had the ability to see the internal situation of the Ancient Banyan Forest were now blocked from all outside views.

In the past, Master Gu Rong didn’t care, so it was okay for them to take a look.

But now that someone dared to challenge his rules, he naturally had to be treated seriously.

It's just that his family is big and powerful, and he has something that can interest the little guy enough to eliminate the hatred caused by this attack.

But it is not that simple for other Taoist masters. They also want to see what means Xia Xian will use when he falls to the ground to get rid of their enemies.

Others may not have as broad a vision as him and cannot see the full situation of the Wanshi Society, but he did see that all the Wanshi Society's rule overhauls outside died due to various seemingly reasonable reasons.

But it’s okay if one person dies, it’s okay if half die, but Xia Xian is so ruthless that he doesn’t leave any alive, so there is definitely a problem!

But even he didn't see any trace of how Xia Xian made his move. This method made him suspicious and even alert!

It is true that nearly a hundred rule overhauls were completed in just one year. Does that mean that even for the Dao Master, it would only take a little longer for him to resolve the issue?

It was also for this reason that he paid extreme attention to Xia Xian, and had to consider paying compensation to a fourth-level little guy as a Taoist master.

Although it seemed a bit embarrassing for him, the biggest advantage of living long in this world is that people become less and less shameless. Everything is based on profit, and the focus is on what kind of benefits they want.

So since he had made the decision, he did not delay. Immediately, a dazzling ray of light was cast from the big sun in the sky, shooting straight into an inconspicuous corner of the world.
