Chapter 31 [Three Souls and Seven Spirits, A Great Vow in the Human World]

"This herb has a salty taste, a sweet aftertaste, and a metallic flavor. There are no adverse reactions to its consumption so far, but its effects are unknown."

"Yes, we must record this clearly, lest future generations mistakenly eat it and lose their lives."

At this moment, an elderly human stood at the foot of Mount Buzhou, carrying a medicine basket on his back, and was writing furiously on a bamboo slip.

But it seemed he hadn't finished writing when he suddenly collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Forehead"

"It seems we must add another point: consuming it severs the three souls and disturbs the seven spirits; within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, one will surely perish!"

Thinking of this, he quickly reached for a pen to take notes.

But then, he was shocked to find that his body seemed to be semi-transparent, and there were nine things around him that looked like him and were in a daze.

"Can't pick it up?"

He reached for the pen, wanting to continue writing, but found that his hand could actually pass through the pen that had fallen to the ground.

This moment.

He finally realized that he seemed to be dead.

He died on the way to taste the herbs.

He was unwilling to accept it!

But you can only blame him for being too weak.

As a human born after birth, although his clan has a tradition of the Golden Core Dao, his aptitude seems to have been rather poor since birth. Now, after cultivating for hundreds of years, he has not even attained the Human Immortal realm.

Not only him, but all humans are so lowly, treated as food, utensils, commodities, and livestock by all races of heaven and earth, wantonly slaughtered and abused.

The human population was enormous and their reproduction rate was too fast, which led to a severe food shortage.

Every day, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of humans die from accidentally consuming spiritual herbs.

From that moment on, he made up his mind to taste all the rare herbs in the world for the sake of humankind, so that humankind would have no worries about food and clothing!

But today, he only tasted the hundredth spiritual herb before tragically dying. He was truly filled with resentment!

He was utterly helpless.

Since he has not yet ascended to immortality, he has not yet cultivated his three souls and seven spirits into a primordial spirit.

Therefore, after his death, he was truly dead, and as time passed, his three souls and seven spirits would completely vanish.

"Why----"

"My mission is not yet complete, and I am about to perish. I am truly unwilling!"

He roared, but no one paid him any attention, and no one would notice that he was about to die so humbly.

But at this very moment!

suddenly!

Suddenly, a void in the world trembled, and that space was completely torn apart.

next moment!

Three adorable children descended from the sky and landed directly on the human.

"ah----"

Su Yi screamed, "It looks like we've crushed someone!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen rubbed his little bottom, looking embarrassed: "What a mess!"

"It's all my fault for not fully comprehending the spatial magic Father used that day. What am I going to do now!"

The two were originally human and had never bullied other humans.

Now, however, a human has died because of them, which makes them somewhat sad.

"It really does prove Father right: I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

The three of them felt a wave of sadness and utter helplessness.

But then, Su Rou seemed to hear a sound. Looking to her side, she found a soul that looked exactly like the old man on the ground floating beside her.

"He's not completely dead yet. The old man's three souls and seven spirits haven't dissipated. As long as we absorb his three souls and seven spirits back into his body, we can revive him!"

Humans may be weak, but weakness also has its advantages.

Even if one perishes, as long as the physical body remains intact and the soul is not scattered, one can easily cast a spell to return the soul to the body and revive the person.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Rou raised her slender, white hand, grabbed the old man's soul, and placed it into his body.

But for some reason, no matter what methods she used, it still had no effect whatsoever.

"what?"

"What happened?"

Why couldn't the old man's soul return to his body?

She couldn't understand it, and Su Chen and Su Yi beside her couldn't understand it either.

At this moment, the old man finally spoke: "Little child, don't waste your energy. I have consumed the Soul-Severing Grass. Once the soul leaves the body, it will dissipate within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and there is no possibility of it being reconstituted."

"Beside my body is a book called the Hundred Herbs Record, which is a record of the effects of hundreds of herbs that I have tasted throughout my life."

"I hope you can help me return to the human race; that would be my way of fulfilling my duty to humanity!"

"I once made a grand promise to taste all the rare herbs in the world for the sake of humankind, but it seems I will never be able to fulfill that promise!"

"I'm not reconciled! I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man's soul began to dissipate, turning into specks of matter in an instant, returning to the world, with no possibility of ever being reunited.

The three mischievous kids could clearly see how unwilling the old man was!

Even though he had already perished, he was still unwilling to accept that he could no longer contribute to the human race!

Such selflessness truly commands respect!

Looking at the old man's lifeless body, Sanwa shook his head helplessly.

How can someone who has made such a great contribution to humanity be left to rot in the wilderness after death?

So they buried the old man's body on the spot.

After they buried the old man, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew—"

"Seeing this old man, who, despite being a human born after birth, dedicated his entire life to humanity, truly exemplifies his selfless devotion and willingness to die for the human race."

"His willingness to sacrifice his life for righteousness truly earns my admiration!"

"I will also strive to improve myself. I, Su Chen, swear that as long as I am here, humanity will no longer be bullied!"

The old man clearly had no cultivation whatsoever, yet he was so selfless and altruistic.

Why shouldn't Su Chen, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, be allowed to do this?

What's more, he is a human!

Upon hearing this, Su Rou and Su Yi nodded in agreement.

"Alright! As long as we have a breath left, we will never let the human race suffer any more bullying!"

They had been busy for quite a while, and all three of them were exhausted, especially Su Rou, who had just been playing a game with the sage, was completely worn out.

Even though they have escaped, they are still shaken.

"call----"

"The sages are still too powerful. It seems we can't slack off in our cultivation either. Without becoming sages, we're just ants. I don't want to be an ant anymore!"

Su Yi nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

"I've had enough of being an ant! My mother is nowhere to be found, humanity can't protect us, we're still too weak!"

"Get stronger!"

"I must become stronger!"

"Only by becoming stronger can we rescue our mother without relying on our father, and protect humanity without relying on anyone else!"

"Therefore, to rise stronger for the sake of humanity, we must become stronger!"

In an instant, the three mischievous kids were completely ignited with passion, and even their mental state seemed to improve considerably. They felt their spirits were clear and their bodies were comfortable, as if they were about to break through a bottleneck that had been closed for a long time.

At this moment, Su Chen grinned mischievously and said, "Big sister, second sister, I have a big plan, but I don't know if I should tell you!"

"speak!"

"speak!"

The two women spoke in unison.

Just as Su Chen was about to reveal his grand plan.

suddenly!

A sharp shout rang out!

"You illegitimate son! Tell me quickly, where is my Primordial Purple Qi!"

As he spoke, a sharp sword aura swept across the sky, slashing directly at the three of them.

Su Rou reacted quickly, immediately pulling Su Yi and Su Rou to dodge the sword energy.

When they looked up at the sky, they realized that the person who had come was none other than Yun Zhongzi!

The second senior brother of the Chan Sect?!

He actually followed them into the spatial rift and tracked them here!

If he reports to the Primordial Celestial Venerable, then things will be in trouble!

But they couldn't understand what Yun Zhongzi was trying to say at all.

What is Primordial Purple Qi?

What exactly is going on?

Yun Zhongzi was furious, holding his demon-slaying sword, glaring at the three unruly children.

He never expected that his Primordial Purple Qi would actually reside in these three brats!

This is a long story!

It concerns an ancient secret!
