Life

The fact is, once a cultivator dies, meaning their Life Essence or their soul ends up completely destroyed, it would be impossible for them to reincarnate or even enter the reincarnation cycle. However, anyone who dies, in general, can theoretically find an opportunity to experience reincarnation; however, the prerequisite for that is that his or her Spiritual Soul should remain relatively intact. If you can find the Spiritual Soul of the fallen cultivator, then there might be a way to rejuvenate and revive it. Of course, these are just rumours; at least, I have not seen such a thing in my long life till now.

Ning Cheng understood the meaning of Yu Haixi's words. Life Essence and the Soul, there was only a slight difference between the two. For ordinary people, even cultivators below the Soul Essence Realm, almost all of their Spiritual Souls would fall into unconsciousness after death; this is what people referred to as the Soul, in general. However, once they advanced to the Soul Essence Realm, they would then possess a Life Essence.

Life Essence possessed a self-consciousness of its own; therefore, even if the corporeal body ends up destroyed, one can think of ways to recover one's own physical body. The two people in his ring, along with Fang Jiyan, were all conscious Life Essences.

"If the cultivator's soul has left its body, and if the soul truly ends up destroyed, then even if one possessed a heaven-defying method, it would be impossible to revive them. However, if the Soul or Life Essence is only shattered, and has not completely disappeared, then there is a chance to revive it. Especially, if this cultivator's corporeal body is relatively intact. That way one could retrieve the residual Soul Consciousness from the corporeal body, and then use it to locate the shattered pieces of his or her Life Essence. Then with the help of some Spiritual Objects, you might be able to grasp that chance. However, these are just rumours. As for what Spiritual Objects could help you accomplish these, even I do not have any knowledge about it.

"Would a corporeal body left behind contain any residual Soul Consciousness?" Ning Cheng had always thought that once the soul departed from the body, then the corporeal body would just be a body without any consciousness.

"Yes, even if the Spiritual Soul is extinguished, the corporeal body would still possess a trace of residual Soul Consciousness. However, if the Spiritual Soul is completely extinguished, then even the remaining Soul Consciousness could never awaken and would eventually disappear along with the corporeal body." Yu Haixi spoke with certainty.

"So how do I extract the remaining Soul Consciousness from a corporeal body?" This was the question that Ning Cheng was the most concerned about.

Yu Haixi spoke up in a helpless tone, "Only the Underworld Soul Flower can help you with that. Placing the Underworld Soul Flower on the dead corporeal body would not only preserve the remaining Soul Consciousness but would also be able to slowly nourish the soul. However, this kind of thing is just a rumour that I heard a long time ago."
