“It seems like you’re from one of the authorities. You must have used some high-grade weapon to destroy my spirit qi wall, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to get in here, the location of my coffin.”
Hearing this, Bai Chen stood still. He did not say anything more.
However, he did not use any high-grade weapon like he’d said. He’d only used his own power to go past the spirit qi wall.
“Why so quiet? Are you finally afraid of me now, young man?”
The spirit shadow laughed happily. He seemed to be very pleased at seeing that Bai Chen was finally afraid of him.
The spirit shadow smiled very widely, revealing disgusting yellow and black teeth inside his mouth.
“If that’s so, I won’t kill you right away.” The spirit shadow turned to look at the coffin not that far away from him.
“I’ll tell you my glorious legend.”
“Zhi Hua Tien was my name. I practiced by myself without any great power supporting me until I’d reached the greatest level of strength. I reached the salvation realm within only five hundred years!”

“In my lifetime, I fought a hundred wars and I won in every single one of them. I was invincible among those in the salvation realm. Anyone who dared to defy me would end up dead!”
His voice was full of arrogance and pride.
“In my time, I was the man with the brightest future, until I unfortunately overstepped with that man…” His voice surprisingly went softer.
“He was a sunyata cultivator named Gu Shui Hen. It was unexpected that he would hunt me for years after that insignificant thing that I did. In the end, I was severely injured and was forced to choose death!”
The spirit shadow’s face suddenly turned angry and mad. He gritted his teeth, making a cracking noise like a breaking tooth.
Then, Bai Chen, who was very calm as if he was immersed in the old man’s story, sighed coldly. “Are you done with your silly story?”
The face without eyes turned immediately to Bai Chen. His body trembled with either anger or surprise.
It was probably the latter since his face suddenly turned vicious as if he was a wild beast.
“What did you just say?!?” He growled. His black spirit qi gushed out of himself. The air around him shook.
Bai Chen took a single step forward and let out his sky soaring energy. His silver spirit qi blazed out from every inch of his body. His face was cold.
“I asked if you’re done with your nonsense.”
Bai Chen’s voice was not that loud. However, it rang inside the spirit shadow’s ears for quite some time.
“You!” Zhi Hua Tien’s spirit shadow wavered harshly. Shortly after that, it calmed down and gave Bai Chen a strange-looking smile. He laughed. “Interesting. This is too interesting!”
The shadow looked up at the ceiling and let out a mad burst of laughter. “I never expected you to be a sky soaring realm cultivator.”
Bai Chen narrowed his eyes until they formed a straight line. He frowned a little. It seemed like the spirit shadow was tougher than he’d thought. He changed his mood very fast from angry to calm and then a mad laughter.
“You surely have a gift to have been able to reach the sky soaring realm this young.”
At the moment, the laughter was gone. The shadow looked at Bai Chen and smiled.
Upon seeing the smile, Bai Chen could guess what the spirit shadow was thinking. His face suddenly grew dim and serious.
“Judging from your smile, you’re thinking about taking my body?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing that, the spirit shadow halted. He did not expect Bai Chen to guess that correctly.
Spirit shadows that were left on earth by salvation realm cultivators and higher could take the bodies of the living. It seemed like a win-win situation for them.
However, it did not happen often. If they stole the body of those who were weak, the spirit shadow would be weak too.
The spirit shadow’s level would change according to the level of the living being that it possessed, no matter the level it had as a shadow.
Also, not every shadow succeeded in taking control of a body. If a body was too strong, it could possibly be destroyed.
“And what of it?” The spirit shadow’s face was now calm and collected.
He was thinking about the easiest way to take over Bai Chen’s body. He had been here for too long. Naturally, he was bored. He wanted to get a body, so that he could finally get out of here.
Bai Chen being here was truly a blessing from heaven!
‘That’s strange. How did a sky soaring realm cultivator get here?’ The spirit shadow suddenly came to this realisation.
However, he did not care much about it. It was concluded as ‘He must have used some special technique.’
Now that Bai Chen was here for him, he did not have to waste his time thinking about how Bai Chen had gotten in here.
“Nothing, really. However, if you have a problem with me, don’t hesitate!” Bai Chen’s eyes glowed coldly. He raised his hand and beckoned the spirit shadow to come at him!
