This was an unprecedented sensation. Far more vivid than what Ye Chen had seen in An Miaoli's mories. For the remnant soul of the Seven Extres Heavenly Maiden, it was utterly unbearable. At first, she glared at Ye Chen, but her gaze soon softened. She demanded he stop casting the spell imdiately.
"An Miaoli's primordial spirit… I haven't had the chance to devour it…"
"ecause her will is too resolute. She's trapped beneath my sea of spirit sense. Release , and I'll set her free."
"Stop now! I'm one with An Miaoli—I'm the master. If you continue, I'll self-destruct, and An Miaoli will perish too…"
"Hmm…"
"No, stop!"
The remnant soul roared, but her voice grew weaker. Ye Chen didn't stop. Not because he was enjoying it. He simply didn't trust her words.
Low-tier cultivators in the immortal realm often held a strange belief that great powers always kept their word, never lying. But that wasn't true. Take his own sect leader, for example—releasing soone publicly but secretly planting a mark to hunt them later. Great powers were human too, lying for their own gain. This concerned Senior An. Ye Chen trusted only what he saw with his own eyes.
After half a day, the remnant soul's defenses collapsed entirely. Ye Chen easily entered her core, searching her mories. To his surprise, her mories were sparse. Fragnted. Similar to the images and snippets Senior An had seen, just more nurous.
There were scenes of her overlooking all beings, worshipped by countless. Her stepping into a passage under the gaze of many. Her arrival in this immortal realm. Her encounter with the Heavenly Emperor, treated with respect, only to act arrogantly. Then, being obliterated by the Heavenly Emperor. And at the final mont, her soul splitting into seven, awaiting reunion to revive.
Scanning through, Ye Chen pieced it together. The Seven Extres Heavenly Maiden was likely a top existence from another realm. Using special ans, she entered the immortal realm first, planning sothing. But the Heavenly Emperor noticed, found her. He tried to negotiate; she acted superior. And so, she was shattered into seven remnant souls.
Ye Chen's lips twitched. He'd thought she was so grand boss, but she was more like cannon fodder? He didn't know what to say.
There was good news, though. Senior An's primordial spirit hadn't been devoured or refined. Her resolute will, bolstered by Ye Chen's protective treasures, had blocked all erosion. The remnant soul had only managed to imprison her spirit, hiding it beneath the sea of spirit sense, planning to slowly wear it down and consu it.

Ye Chen raised a hand, pointing at a spot in the sea of spirit sense. A massive black hole appeared instantly. Within it, Senior An's primordial spirit was bound by endless chains, each etched with strange divine runes. Her wrists, ankles, and neck were shackled. The runes on the chains flickered, seemingly drawing sothing from her spirit.
With a surge of Ye Chen's terrifying spiritual sense, the chains snapped and dissolved inch by inch.
An Miaoli's primordial spirit, eyes long shut, finally opened. She scanned her surroundings, seeing the sealed remnant soul and Ye Chen, visibly relieved. None of this seed to surprise her. As if she'd always known, as long as she held on, Ye Chen would co for her. She bowed lightly to him. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye, for the rescue."
Ye Chen smiled, floating to her side to check on her spirit. He nodded, grinning. "Good to see you're alright, Senior An! What should we do with this remnant soul?"
He'd already confird the soul's threats were empty. Destroying it wouldn't harm An Miaoli. There was no shared fate between them. Still, with avatars and remnant souls, things were a bit ssy.
An Miaoli had long known she wasn't a reincarnated body, just a avatar. Yet she remained composed, her cool deanor unshaken despite everything. She looked at Ye Chen, eyes resolute. "I am ! Past, present, future—I'm only An Miaoli, no one else!" Her voice was calm but firm, her dao heart unshakable. No wonder she could face herself without guilt.
From above the sea of spirit sense, the imprisoned soul sneered. "Hmph, you're just a consciousness born from a avatar! After all these years, the main body has likely gathered four or five avatars, nearly at her peak. When soone from your generation ascends and the immortal gate opens, the main body will sense you and take you away with supre thods. Then, you'll rge with her, and your consciousness will be erased. As for him? He's got so skill, but not much. When the main body learns of this, he's dood, and this entire world will be buried with him!"
An Miaoli ignored the threats, turning to Ye Chen. "Fellow Daoist Ye, I lack the strength to destroy this soul. Please help erase it."
Ye Chen wasn't surprised by her decisiveness. Unfazed by what he'd done to the remnant soul earlier, he prepared to act without hesitation.
The remnant soul, seeing their cold resolve, was stunned. She wasn't afraid of death, but if she were completely erased, based on what she'd seen in her mories, this avatar would likely beco Ye Chen's dao companion. That was unacceptable to her. It could create a flaw, making the final fusion imperfect, unable to reach the main body's desired realm.
But Ye Chen was too powerful. She couldn't resist. After a mont's hesitation, the soul spoke earnestly as Ye Chen drew closer. "An Miaoli's Seven Extres Immortal Body is only one-seventh complete, barely at the entry level. If the main body finds her, she'll be devoured. But I can tell you how to advance and perfect the Seven Extres Immortal Body.
"If An Miaoli's body reaches perfection, even the main body can't consu her. She'll be whole, a complete individual. One day, she might even devour the main body, gaining everything and surpassing her. But there's a condition—she must remain pure. If she loses her purity, the Seven Extres Immortal Body can never advance further…"
Ye Chen, usually ruthless, had planned to strike regardless of her words. But hearing this, he raised an eyebrow. Senior An's Seven Extres Immortal Body already had a 2,000-fold multiplier. And that was just the beginning? One-seventh? If it evolved to completion, what kind of multiplier would it reach? One-seventh gave 1,500 tis. A complete body could exceed 10,000? Was this for real? Or was the remnant soul lying?
Sensing his doubt, the soul didn't hesitate, quickly revealing the thod to advance and perfect the Seven Extres Immortal Body…
