After pondering for a while, Lu Chen said to Li Xinghe, "You should go back first. It seems that I mistook you for someone else. I didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in this world."

At this point, Lu Chen turned to Immortal Venerable Taihua and said, "After he goes back, prepare some precious medicines to repair his soul as compensation."

Soul searching is extremely damaging to the soul. If it weren't for Li Xinghe's strong soul, he would probably have fainted by now.

This is also what Lu Chen doesn't understand. He just performed a simple soul search on Li Xinghe, and the result was that Li Xinghe's soul only had the memories of this life, but Li Xinghe's soul was so powerful, which was obviously abnormal.

The key point is that Li Xinghe's soul did not contain the memories of his past life. A soul that did not contain the memories of his past life is so powerful that even when Lu Chen searched his soul, he felt threatened.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Taihua was stunned for a moment. Judging from Lu Chen's words, this Li Xinghe was not Immortal Venerable Xinghe.

How can this be?

It's one thing to have "Star River" in his name, but he even possesses the Star Immortal Body that only the Star River Immortal Venerable has. How could he not be the reincarnation of the Star River Immortal Venerable?

Even though he was surprised, Lu Chen had personally searched Li Xinghe's soul. Even Lu Chen, the Immortal Emperor, said that Li Xinghe was not the Star River Immortal Venerable. So Li Xinghe was probably not the reincarnation of the Star River Immortal Venerable.

After regaining his senses, Immortal Venerable Taihua said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will have someone send him some spiritual medicine to nourish his soul later."

Li Xinghe then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Dean. I will take my leave now."

After speaking, Li Xinghe turned and left. After leaving the principal's office, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

After he took over the soul of the Star River Immortal, he absorbed all of the Star River Immortal's soul from his previous life. For these strange beings, human memories are also a delicacy.

Therefore, even if Lu Chen searched Li Xinghe's soul, he could only see Li Xinghe's memories of this life. As for why Lu Chen did not notice his existence, it was because he was hiding in the soul source of Immortal Venerable Xinghe.

Soul searching can only search for things outside the soul source, and a person's memories are also stored outside the soul source.

After Li Xinghe left the principal's office, Immortal Venerable Taihua immediately asked, "Your Majesty, is this person really not the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Xinghe?"

Lu Chen looked thoughtful and said, "That's not necessarily true. Although I haven't detected any memories of the Star River Immortal Venerable in him, it doesn't rule out the possibility that he separated his memories and sealed them elsewhere before his reincarnation."

"Moreover, his soul is extremely powerful. Even though I searched his soul, he was not greatly affected, and his soul was not damaged. This is not the level of soul strength that someone of his cultivation should possess."

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "Then why don't we just eliminate him?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable's idea was that he would rather kill the innocent than let go of someone who was suspected to be Xinghe Immortal Venerable. Besides, Li Xinghe himself was so similar to Xinghe Immortal Venerable. He simply did not believe that Li Xinghe was not the reincarnation of Xinghe Immortal Venerable.

Most importantly, to them, Li Xinghe was just a nobody; killing him wouldn't have any impact on the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

Let alone killing Li Xinghe, even if the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty wanted to destroy the Holy Wing Sect behind Li Xinghe, the immortal sects in the Tianyan Immortal Domain wouldn't dare to say anything. They would only say it was good that it was destroyed.

Lu Chen then said, "Not for now. If he really is the reincarnation of the Star River Immortal Venerable, he will eventually regain his memories of his past life. Once he regains his memories, I will take his life."

Before a Celestial Venerable reincarnates, there must be some arrangements. Just like when Lu Chen was reincarnated inside the belly of the Chaos Beast, he left a divine thought that transformed into a system as a guide to help him grow continuously.

Before Xinghe Immortal Venerable reincarnated, he must have left behind some things to guide the growth of his reincarnated form. Of course, there was an even more important reason why Lu Chen did not allow Taihua Immortal Venerable to immediately eliminate Xinghe Immortal Venerable.

That was the nauseating feeling he experienced when searching the soul of Immortal Venerable Xinghe. The fact that it could cause him such nausea suggests that Li Xinghe may have been tainted by some strange power.

Although he couldn't detect any strange power from Li Xinghe, this only proved that Li Xinghe was very good at hiding the aura of strange power, even managing to deceive him, an Immortal Emperor.

The Li Xinghe of today may not be the same Li Xinghe.

Seeing that Lu Chen had already said so, Immortal Venerable Taihua could not say anything more. "Yes, subordinate understands."

As soon as Immortal Venerable Taihua finished speaking, a cold and stunningly beautiful figure appeared in the principal's office.

Upon seeing Yun Yudie appear, Immortal Venerable Taihua tactfully said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Lu Chen said, "Okay, go down."

Taihua Immortal Venerable bowed again, "This subordinate takes his leave."

After speaking, Immortal Venerable Taihua turned and left the principal's office. Before leaving, he helped Lu Chen close the door to the principal's office.

After Taihua Immortal Venerable left, Lu Chen said directly, "Just now, when I was probing someone's soul, I felt a sense of nausea."

"But that person didn't have any strange powers. Have you ever encountered this situation before?"

Now that Yun Yudie has regained all her memories as the progenitor of the strange beings, she is knowledgeable and must know things that he does not.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie immediately thought of a special technique of a strange creature. She then said, "Higher strange life forms all use the technique of soul-stealing. The person you mentioned may have already had their soul possessed by a strange creature."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen asked in confusion, "Possession of a soul?"

This wasn't the first time he'd heard of something like this. He'd seen some information about Immortal Emperor Youlan trying to seize a soul from the system data of Immortal Venerable Yunmeng and the others, but he didn't know the specifics of how to do it.

His understanding of possession is that one person's soul takes over another person's body. He is very curious about how even a person's soul can be possessed.

Yun Yudie then explained, "There is a soul source in a person's soul. As long as the strange life form devours the soul source, it can occupy a person's soul. This method of possession can retain the original person's memories, making it difficult to tell that the person has been possessed by the strange life form."

Lu Chen frowned immediately. If that was the case, then there might already be many strange creatures in the Tianyan Immortal Domain. These strange creatures had all used the Soul-Stealing Technique, making them almost unrecognizable.

Yun Yudie seemed to have seen through Lu Chen's thoughts, so she continued, "The strange beings that can use the Soul-Stealing Technique have generally reached the King Realm, which is what you people in the Spirit Realm call the Ghost King."

Lu Chen asked, "Do you have many Ghost Kings in your Ghost Realm?"

Yun Yudie said expressionlessly, "You'll find out when you get out."

Seeing that Yun Yudie was unwilling to talk about it, Lu Chen didn't press the matter further. (End of Chapter)
