Man's Journey In Search Of Immortality Begins

"Impossible!"

Ye Chen immediately shouted loudly and couldn't believe what was in front of him.

"You should be dead, I already killed you! How are you still here? Spirit, are you a ghost?"

"Tsk tsk..." A joking smile and a cold look appeared on the man's fleshless face.

Looking at Ye Chen with anger and a hint of joy, the spirit seemed to want to laugh, saying, "Fortunately I was lucky today. With the huge risk of losing my soul, it would be impossible for me to return to my body. But you are really careful and decisive, I didn't think that you would kill my body."

"Body? Don't tell me..." Ye Chen's brain went blank, and he didn't know what else he should do.

"You're right!" The man confirmed Ye Chen's guess and generously explained, "I'm currently using a secret technique called Soul Seizing."

"No, do not...." Ye Chen immediately knew what would happen next.

But the soul didn't care and continued to speak, "At first I gave you the most basic Heaven and Earth aura refinement training formula to see, whether you have any talent for me to use. I didn't expect that at this young age, you would really be decisive and firmly take action. But that doesn't matter either, I'll take your body anyway. Even if you really don't have Cultivation talent, I can still live a few more years."

Ghosts, monsters, demons.

Things beyond Ye Chen's logic one by one appeared in his head. He didn't know what was really going on with this world. He also didn't know how to fight this guy.

Subconsciously, Ye Chen picked up the previous hammer and threw it towards the ghost in front. But the hammer that just penetrated it without having any effect made Ye Chen completely desperate.

"I am a soul, I am intangible, so physical things cannot touch me. Instead of doing useless things, you should be obedient and let me take your body."

Ye Chen shook his head, he didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't think anymore. Stupidly, he also just backed away by pushing his buttocks without having time to think about standing up and running on his two legs.

When something beyond one's imagination appeared, it truly made anyone stupid.

"Hahahaha... Be obedient!" The man's soul laughed with satisfaction and started flying towards Ye Chen.

"No!"

Without being able to do anything else, Ye Chen could only scream and resignedly looked at the face full of satisfaction in front of him coming towards him.

But at that moment, when the two of them were only a few steps away, the man's soul suddenly stopped in midair. Then his expression began to change, and then became even wilder with a look of horror.

"Impossible!"

This time it was the soul who screamed in fear, and its figure was suddenly attracted by something in Ye Chen's chest. Without knowing what happened, the soul's figure suddenly shrunk to the size of a little finger and penetrated his chest.

It happened very quickly, it only took less than one breath, Ye Chen who still maintained a horrified expression didn't know what actually happened.

Turned his head towards his chest and checked with his right hand, Ye Chen immediately discovered that there was something stuck to his chest. It was a necklace made of animal skin and a black fingernail-sized stone was used as decoration.

Family heirloom necklace.

Ye Chen immediately remembered that it was a necklace his father had given him in the past, and his father said that the necklace had been passed down from generation to generation. It is treated as a treasure, cannot be sold and must only be passed down through the family lineage.

Without knowing its name or use, the necklace just like that came to him.

"Does this necklace protect me?"

Ye Chen felt confused and tried to examine it carefully, but no matter how he tried to examine it, it was nothing more than an ordinary black stone, which was not even more conspicuous than the ordinary black stones in the river.

Trying to check his body, Ye Chen also didn't find anything strange. Checking himself and the stone several times, he finally gave up when he didn't find anything strange.

"Forget it! As long as I'm still alive, everything will be fine."

Giving up on finding out something he didn't know, Ye Chen suddenly fell lying on the ground. Control your breathing slowly and carefully prepare for something that might suddenly happen. Fortunately nothing happened for some time, and finally Ye Chen could really breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Ye Chen's thoughts drifted as he watched the night above begin to show the light of morning sunlight. What to do next?

Looking at his current condition, it was estimated that he was the only human left alive. Everyone died, even the two immortals died too. He could no longer live in this remote village in the middle of the forest, and had to start thinking about his future.

"That's right, future!"

When thinking about his future, Ye Chen was determined not to be a mortal anymore. Thinking about the current events, he really didn't want to become a weak creature who had to depend on others for his life.

With a decision in his heart, Ye Chen immediately stood up and checked the surroundings, looking for something useful for his future. Unfortunately, apart from one book, two arcane pouches from two Immortal beings, and one dagger that had become smaller, he found nothing else useful, even the hammer he used previously had developed a crack that could no longer be used.

After making sure there was nothing else, Ye Chen once again looked at the young man in white for a while and finally decided to return to the place where his parents' bodies were.

With the crisis resolved, Ye Chen couldn't just leave the corpses of his parents. Even though this remote forest rarely saw wild beasts roaming around, he should at least bury these two.

Even if he wasn't fine and his hands were still shaking, Ye Chen had to bury them as a sign of gratitude for giving him the mysterious stone necklace, which saved his life at a critical moment.

It took until noon before Ye Chen finally managed to bury his parents in a proper way.

At first he also intended to bury the body of the young man in white, but in the end he gave up before the wild animals in the forest started appearing and endangering his own life. Of course he also had no interest in burying the corpses of the villagers, he didn't have enough energy.

After paying his respects to his parents, Ye Chen walked back to Siqing village which was currently in a mess, and took a leather bag that belonged to who knows who, then began to put in some of the food he needed for the trip.

According to his memory, there was a village called Dayan south of Siqing village. The village is also bigger and can be said to be a district. According to his estimates, it would take at least about a day and a night to make the journey.

Because it was already afternoon, Ye Chen couldn't delay any longer and immediately rushed over. Then looking at the village that had been destroyed and one last time seeing the graves of his parents, Ye Chen promised that he would not waste his life.

From this moment, Ye Chen, a mortal who seeks immortality begins.
