Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1145: Chapter 1144: Heavenly Realm

Lin Dong was incredibly shocked at this moment, he had truly not expected that the Sovereign Witch was still alive, and moreover, was a woman.

However, just at this time, the woman slowly began to speak, ”What you see is not my true form.”

”My body had long since fallen, what you now behold is merely my spirit and soul!”

”What?” Lin Dong was very puzzled.

And the woman in the black dress turned around.

Once she turned around, Lin Dong discovered that her face was shrouded in black fog, making it impossible to clearly see her true features.

And upon closer inspection, one could notice that her body was somewhat transparent.

At this moment, she stretched out her hand, reaching towards the nearby Tree of Heaven.

When she touched the Tree of Heaven, she actually passed directly through it, as if her body was not solid but a transparent shadow.

Seeing this, Lin Dong finally understood the words of the woman in the black dress.

”Why can your spirit and soul exist, and even have consciousness?” Lin Dong had indeed seen yin spirits before, but those kinds of yin spirits were made from yin souls without consciousness.

They possessed only bloodthirst and brutality, completely different from what he was seeing now.

And was this woman in the black dress really the Sovereign Witch?

The woman in the black dress slowly said, ”Are you wondering if I am the Sovereign Witch?”

Lin Dong was startled and quickly asked, ”How do you know what I’m thinking?”

”Hehe, because I am a spirit and soul, I can see through what’s in your heart.” The woman in the black dress softly laughed, ”I can answer you, I indeed am the Sovereign Witch.”

”However, my body had long since fallen, and now, only this spirit and soul remains.”

”Are you curious about what a spirit and soul is?”

Lin Dong nodded, there was no need to talk when conversing with this woman. As soon as he thought it, the other party could see through him.

This was far too terrifying!

The Sovereign Witch once again smiled slightly, explaining, ”The so-called spirit and soul is what is cultivated within the center of one’s Dantian when one’s strength has cultivated to the ’Heavenly Realm’!”

”Even if the body falls, as long as the spirit and soul still exist, it can retain the memories from before death. Moreover, if one could reshape the flesh and meld the spirit and soul back into the body, one could achieve the purpose of resurrection!”

”What?” Hearing this, Lin Dong was extremely shocked inside.

Though he had learned from his master, Daoist Master Qing Shan, about the existence of Heavenly Realm powerhouses in this world, he had never encountered one before.

And regarding Heavenly Realm powerhouses, he was completely in the dark.

Like half-step Earth Realm martial artists, they could cultivate a Giant Shadow Clone.

Earth Realm martial artists could cultivate a Giant Shadow Golden Body. And within the center of their Dantian, they could cultivate a Golden Pill, which, according to the number of Golden Pills, could be divided from one to nine stages, respectively known as First Stage Grandmaster to Ninth Level Grandmaster...

As for the Heavenly Realm, because it had been too long since anyone had reached it, Lin Dong also had not encountered it, and even his master, Daoist Master Qing Shan, only had a half-understanding, so he truly had no idea what the Heavenly Realm actually entailed.

But after listening to the words of this Sovereign Witch in front of him, Lin Dong finally had a certain understanding of the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Realm allowed one to cultivate a spirit and soul within the Dantian!

Even if the body perished, as long as the spirit and soul did not extinguish, one would still not die. There might even be an opportunity for resurrection in the future!

This was simply against the heaven!

”Senior Sovereign Witch, so you were a Heavenly Realm powerhouse?” Lin Dong blurted out, quickly asking.

The Sovereign Witch gave a wry smile, ”Isn’t that an obvious question? If I were not a Heavenly Realm martial artist, how could I have cultivated a spirit and soul? How could you, now, be able to see me?”

”Cough cough...” Lin Dong coughed dryly, feeling somewhat awkward. Normally, he would never ask such an idiotic question.

But now, it was truly shocking! So much so that speaking was somewhat without thought.

”I’m suddenly wondering whether to acknowledge you. But with such a constitution like yours, not to mention a thousand years, even five thousand years would be hard to find. If I miss this chance, I may not know how many more years I’ll have to wait,” the Sovereign Witch muttered.

Lin Dong awkwardly said, ”Senior, actually I’m not what you imagine...”

”It doesn’t matter, even if you’re an idiot, it doesn’t matter. I would still choose you, because, besides that special constitution, you actually have a ’Soul Ring’. I’m even thinking, in this world, even if I wait another ten thousand years, I might not find a more suitable heir like you!”

Hearing this, Lin Dong was confused.

He knew his constitution was special, having the Nine Dragons Constitution.

But what was the Soul Ring she was talking about?

Lin Dong didn’t have any Soul Ring.

Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, it was read by the Sovereign Witch, who laughingly pointed to the ring on Lin Dong’s finger.

That ring, was the only thing left to him by his father.

That Dragon Ring!

The Dragon Ring that could command the Longmen!

”That is the Soul Ring!” the voice of the Sovereign Witch rose slowly.

Lin Dong was astonished, and couldn’t help but ask, ”This is the Dragon Ring my father left me, how is it the Soul Ring you mentioned? Also, what is this Soul Ring? Why do you call it a Soul Ring? What does it have to do with choosing me?”

Lin Dong hadn’t expected that the Dragon Ring in his hand might also be not so simple.

The Sovereign Witch smiled slightly again and explained to Lin Dong, ”Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, although they can cultivate Spirit and Soul, as long as the Spirit and Soul do not die, they are not truly dead.”

”But this Spirit and Soul also have limitations. If the Spirit and Soul do not have something like our Witch Clan Altar, Soul Ring, as a spiritual storage medium, then the Spirit and Soul cannot exist for long.”

”Like me, if I weren’t always at this Divine Witchcraft Altar, then I would have been long gone.”

”The Spirit and Soul of a Heavenly Realm martial artist, even a stronger one, in a natural environment, don’t need a year’s time, and the power of the Spirit and Soul will dissipate until the Spirit and Soul are extinct!”

”And that ring on your finger is called the Soul Ring. It is forged from a special extreme yin material; its function is the same as our Divine Witchcraft Altar, serving as a storage medium for Spirit and Soul.”

”So now, do you understand?”

Lin Dong, having heard these explanations, understood.

It turned out that the Spirit and Soul were not invincible; they needed a vessel for storage.

Lin Dong thought of something, much like some viruses which, without a host, if they are exposed in the air, don’t need much time to die off.

The Spirit and Soul followed the same principle as viruses!

”I understand now, that’s how it is,” Lin Dong nodded.

He rubbed the Dragon Ring in his hand, marveling at its complexity. And such an extraordinary treasure was obtained by his father.

Who exactly was his father?

Lin Dong really wanted to find him.

”Kid, do you want to receive my inheritance?” At that moment, the voice of the Sovereign Witch became solemn as she asked.

Lin Dong was startled, and immediately nodded, ”Of course!”

This was an opportunity; the Sovereign Witch in her lifetime was a Heavenly Realm martial artist. She was a powerhouse Lin Dong couldn’t have encountered before. If he could receive her inheritance, it would be immensely beneficial to him.

How could he not desire it!

”Hehe, if you want to obtain my inheritance, you must agree to a condition! Only if you agree to this condition will I give you the inheritance,” the Sovereign Witch said slowly.
