The Record of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 656 The Soul of Another World
The journey down the mountain should have been peaceful, but something unexpected happened when they passed a cemetery.

The cemetery was located on this mountain, near the foot of the mountain, about a mile away from the small village.

As soon as Xu Yuxiu arrived at the cemetery, she saw many graves of different sizes and heights.

Some of the graves have a wooden board as a tombstone, which is erected in front of the grave to indicate the identity of the person buried in the grave.

On some graves, such tombstones have long been decayed, and the words on them have long been blurred, obviously indicating that they are quite old.

At this moment, there were still a few scattered blue and white ghost lights floating in the grave mound, adding a bit of eerie and scary feeling to the grave mound.

If Xun Fanren wants to go down the mountain and reach the small village at the foot of the mountain, he must pass through this cemetery.

However, these were all insignificant scenes to Xu Yuxiu.

What she noticed was a new grave with fresh soil and not even a tombstone. It was obviously a new grave where someone had been buried not long ago.

In her perception, she could clearly sense that the person buried in the grave still had breath of life and was obviously not dead.

What does it mean that a person who is not dead is buried in a grave?
Although there are many doubts in this matter, Xu Yuxiu has no intention of clarifying it.

What she cared about was the breath of the soul of the person buried in this grave. It was obviously different from that of this world, carrying a breath from another world.

Xu Yuxiu wanted to clarify this point.

So she just opened the grave.

As soon as Xu Yuxiu thought about it, the soil on the grave was pulled by an invisible force and spread out to both sides like running water.

After a while, two small mounds were formed on both sides of the grave.

At this time, the scene in the tomb also appeared.

Inside was a pitch-black coffin with strange runes drawn on it with cinnabar, and the entire coffin was wrapped with ink thread soaked in chicken blood like a net, as if there was some horrible thing in the coffin that had to be sealed in this way.

In fact, whether it is those strange runes drawn with cinnabar or the ink lines soaked in chicken blood.

In Xu Yuxiu's eyes, those were just mundane things. They couldn't even trap the souls of ordinary mortals after death. They were completely useless.

"Help, is there anyone who can save me?"

Just as Xu Yuxiu was looking at the scene in the grave, a cry for help came from the dark coffin.

The voice sounded like a man's, and he seemed to be shouting with a lot of strength.

Along with the man in the coffin's cries for help, there were bursts of banging on the coffin, making a "bang bang" sound.

Such sounds echoed in the cemetery, adding a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere to the cemetery.

Of course, Xu Yuxiu, a woman who looks to be in her prime, haunting such a cemetery at night, and standing in front of a grave with the soil uncovered, also looks like a female ghost.

The pitch-black coffin was sealed shut with coffin nails. No matter how the man inside knocked and called for help, it was of no avail. It would only slowly drain his strength.

Xu Yuxiu did not let the man in the coffin wait for long. As soon as she thought about it, the lid of the black coffin, which looked very heavy at first glance, made a few dull sounds.

The next moment, the entire coffin lid, along with the coffin nails that were nailed in place, were blown away and fell to the side, making another dull landing sound.

After that, the scene fell into an eerie silence for a while.

The man did not climb out of the opened coffin directly, but waited for a while before cautiously poking his head out of the coffin and looking out. Obviously, he was frightened by the noise Xu Yuxiu made when she violently opened the coffin lid.

Looking at the man's cautious appearance, Xu Yuxiu said directly: "Come out, there is no danger here."

Her sudden voice frightened the man so much that he shrank back into the coffin.

Seeing this, Xu Yuxiu just thought about it, and the man flew out of the coffin and fell on his butt on a small mound of earth beside him.

"Ouch, it hurts me so much!"

The man cried out in pain, then quickly got up from the ground and looked at Xu Yuxiu.

The moment he saw Xu Yuxiu's true face, his eyes widened.

"Oh my god, I've never seen a girl as pretty as you in my life. You can be called a fairy from heaven!"

Lin Xuan?

After hearing the man's name, Xu Yuxiu secretly flipped through the Book of Life and Death.

After a while, Lin Xuan's information appeared in the Book of Life and Death.

But just as Xu Yuxiu was paying attention, he saw that the information about Lin Xuan in the Book of Life and Death seemed to be distorted by a strange force.

In the blink of an eye, all records about Lin Xuan in the Book of Life and Death disappeared without a trace, leaving only a twisted mass of scarlet.

"There is indeed a problem!"

Xu Yuxiu thought to herself that it was a good thing that she could take in all the information about Lin Xuan in the Book of Life and Death that had not yet been distorted with just one glance.

Of course, the man who called himself Lin Xuan could not see everything she did.

According to Lin Xuan's information in the Book of Life and Death before it was distorted, he should not be from this world, but from another world.

However, Xu Yuxiu secretly used the Book of Life and Death to check the body of the man who called himself Lin Xuan, only to find that this body was indeed that of a mortal in this world.

In other words, the man who now calls himself Lin Xuan has a physical body of a mortal man in this world, but his soul is not the soul of this world.

A spirit from another world?
Xu Yuxiu pondered secretly and felt that there must be something wrong with the reincarnation in the underworld.

Generally speaking, souls that are lured to the underworld will be cleansed of everything they originally had, and then thrown into reincarnation, without being contaminated by any breath of the world they had existed in before.

As for how this was done specifically, Xu Yuxiu still didn't know.

Since the soul of the man who calls himself Lin Xuan still retains the aura of other worlds, then something must have gone wrong during his reincarnation!
No, there is another possibility.

Perhaps this man who calls himself Lin Xuan has never entered the underworld!
As soon as this thought came to her mind, when Xu Yuxiu looked at the man who called himself Lin Xuan, there was a hint of ambiguity in her eyes.

It should be impossible for a soul to travel to another world without ever entering the underworld.

After all, just talking about the large formation barriers of these worlds, it is not like Lin Xuan's. The souls of ordinary mortals can cross them.

Once touched, it will be reduced to ashes in an instant and cease to exist.

Now, there is such a real example appearing before our eyes. How can we not be curious and want to explore it?
