"Blood is the flesh. Flesh is the physical body. What the body contains is blood. What the blood contains is water. Water is the material to blood. In reserve..."

After a full month Ye Gui Feng feels like he has finally come across some insight. Slapping his storage bag he takes out Emperor Du Lou and places a hand onto its chest.

"..."

Closing his eyes Ye Gui Feng tries out his idea of blood and flesh.

The body underneath the Dark Silver armor trembles as it begins to breakdown. Little by little the solid flesh gradually transforms into blood.

Time goes by as a total of five hours pass with the body beneath the Dark Silver armor having transformed completely into blood.

The Dark Silver armor isn't affected by this transformation of solid into liquid despite it being more or less something that is meant to take on the shape of what it wraps around.

Taking another five hours Ye Gui Feng compresses the blood inside of the armor and begins to merge it all together with the Dark Silver.

The chimeric body fully breaks down and reassembles itself with the core body being a part of this. Turning completely into blood the Undead Ash is stirred and mixed with the blood as they reform to become a single body while wrapping around the 20 Dark Silver cores and the Dark Silver skeletal frame that are within the Jiangshi's interior.

This isn't considered anything too special on the surface but if this is unleashed on a living person then they would instantly melt down into a puddle of blood.

"Heh this is nice but it requires direct contact... Maybe with a bit more work I can cause someone to explode without even touching them."

Ye Gui Feng repeats this for Lieyan Bao Long and underneath the two Dark Silver core Jiangshis is a perfected body that is made up of a mix of flesh, Undead Ash, and Dark Silver.

"A single body that contains the flesh and the ash along with the core. This should help make connectivity better as well. Let's call it... Uh ah whatever naming it isn't that important. All that matters is that I don't need to do as much maintenance on them anymore."

Stretching his limbs Ye Gui Feng stands back up.

"Ghosts used to be a part of the living. Nascent Souls are the spirits of a Nascent Soul realm practitioner but upon reaching that realm of cultivation they need to form it? When their physical bodies breaks down they can transfer all of their conscience to their Nascent Soul and attempt to escape from battle."

The Transcendence realm souls that Ye Gui Feng had imprisoned into his two Jiangshis are still there but they surround the body like an invisible shell instead of dwelling inside of it.

"A soul is a soul, they should be the same thing so why must a Nascent Soul be formed? Ghosts, souls, spirits, and the likes can be categorized under one commonality and that is the simple fact that they lack a physical body."

The theory is that the human body is a vessel and a limiter. Cultivation means to become more and more like a spirit.

Soul Separation means to sever the physical body and become a spirit. But even then one cannot be considered a true spirit.

Their physical body will still be there but didn't Soul Separation mean for one to sever the physical body?

"The spiritual body should be the soul... A physical body is replaced by a spiritual body, in that case does this mean that a Nascent Soul realm practitioner's body is but a projection of what their bodies should look like? But this also doesn't make much sense. Maybe it's more like..."

Ye Gui Feng thought about existing on a different set of plains. If there are multiple dimensions in a world then say for example he is existing in the first dimension while someone of the Soul Separation realm exists in another, the second dimension.

"Maybe that's also why they call it realms of cultivation. In short one is really just moving from realm to realm and making it harder for those beneath their realm to hit or make contact with them. So the soul being formed is really just the realm being formed... Eee?"

Something else didn't seem right... Ye Gui Feng feels like he had completely gone off his original line of thinking despite having discovered something major.

"No wait... If the created realm can be manipulated then doesn't that basically means that I can drag someone out of their realm of existence and bring them over to mine? Won't that make it easier for me to beat them?"

The theory makes sense to Ye Gui Feng on the inside but this is really just a concept. He feels like he might be able to create something out of it but...

"No..."

Ye Gui Feng scratches the side of his head in frustration as he constantly seems to be missing something.

"It's not manipulating the realm. Its destroying a realm and then drag them into yours where you have the field advantage..."

Ye Gui Feng blinks his eyes before sighing with a frown.

"They say creating one's own magic takes effort and fortune. I suppose I'll just have to give up on this idea for the time being..."

Never the less Ye Gui Feng felt like he had gained something from the Ghost Demon Pagoda even if it was something that he can't currently use.

"Forget it for now. I'll go see how the others are doing."

Storing away the two Jiangshis Ye Gui Feng walks to the grand meeting halls in leisure.

"How's progress?"

Seeing how mostly everyone here is drinking tea and conversing about mundane matters Ye Gui Feng assumes that everything should be just fine.

"Smooth but it will take another two months to get everything finished."

Long Xing He answers and further goes on to explain that Elder Shu is burdened with most of the work making it so that he demands a large compensation.

"That sounds like that old man alright."

"Heh he won't allow himself to be ripped off for nothing. And what of your progress?"

Yang Jian Hao looks to Ye Gui Feng with curiosity.

"So-so."

Process has slowed ever since he got to the 34th level of Qi Condensation making Ye Gui Feng somewhat sad about this.

"Well a slaughter will happen soon so..."

Ye Gui Feng nods.

"I'll be ready."

Bidding goodbye to those in the meeting hall Ye Gui Feng left.

Returning back to his Immortal Cave Ye Gui Feng takes out the Chrysanthemum of the Bloody Moon and looks upon it lovingly.

"Xiao Ju Hong... I really miss you."

Ye Gui Feng sighs and takes out his Yao family identification medallion as well.

"Father I really hope you're in good health. If only we can meet sooner..."

There isn't a day where Ye Gui Feng doesn't miss Xiao Ju Hong and his father Yao Nie Tian.

"I must step into the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible. Only then can I meet master and ask him for further guidance and hopefully obtain immortality. Everything is for the sake of my dreams."
