Chapter 266: Discovering the Reason

Yi Qing paused and instinctively looked in to scan his own primordial spirit. He turned pale suddenly. "I thought it was because I have a new body that-"

"Quite the opposite!" Lonemoon answered. "It is because your soul is incomplete that your body looks like that."

"..." Yi Qing frowned, his expression darkening.

"And then Bai Ze-"

"Me?" Bai Ze paused.

"That day, when you fought with Qian Yue, we were right beside you." Lonemoon pointed to a certain foodie beside him. "She was the one who realised there was a problem with you. That was why we decided to follow you to Bai Yun Mountain."

"Shen..." Bai Ze's heart fell for a second as he looked at Shen Ying, as if recalling the rejection from earlier. His expression crumpled and he looked absolutely defeated. A second later, he said, "But... my primordial spirit is fine."

"Your primordial spirit is fine, but I'm not sure about the other parts of your soul."

Bai Ze stared back at him. What did he mean?

"The lake at the bottom of Bai Yun Mountain is filled with demonic beasts, right?" Lonemoon rolled his eyes at the foodie. "Didn't you bring Shen Ying there to see them yesterday? Those demonic beasts weren't there before, were they?"

"..." They really weren't there before.

"Do you know where they came from?"

Bai Ze paused. "I don't... know." They only appeared in recent years.

"I remember when we were in the Three Azure Realms, you stayed at the Yi Family's abode for hundreds of thousands of years," Lonemoon continued. "Not a single demonic beast in the Mirage Sea dared to come onto the shore. When you returned to the Divine World, your God Power should have gotten stronger. Why is it that the demonic beasts started appearing in your own territory? And the were beasts with no intelligence or soul whatsoever at that?"

"Well..." He had never thought about this. At that time, all he thought about was to keep them until Shen Ying came so that he could make her happy.

"The only explanation is that your soul has a problem as well and that is affecting your skills. But the impact is small. You might not even have noticed it." Lonemoon poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and continued, "You're a divine being. Demonic beasts with intelligence and souls would definitely know that you're powerful and would not dare to come close. Lower-level demonic beasts can only use their instincts to sense when there is danger. They probably don't even know who you are." Bai Yun Mountain was a place with rich God Power and was thus ideal for training. Since there was a problem with Bai Ze's soul, these low-leveled demonic beasts probably did not sense that there was any danger and thus decided to make a home for themselves here.

Bai Ze fell silent. All of it sounded entirely plausible. That was why Shen Ying was worried yesterday and went with him to fish? Yet, she said that she did not like him at all! He was heartbroken!

"Elder, you mean to say that all three of us have a remnant soul missing from our bodies, and we have not realised it?" Xuan Tong looked worried.

"You are indeed missing a remnant soul, and we have found that remnant soul of yours. We just have not found a way to return it to your body. But we're just guessing about Yi Qing and Bai Ze." Lonemoon frowned. "The remnant soul is different from the other parts of the soul. We have no idea how to check if their souls are whole."
