CHAPTER 754: CHAPTER 621: SOUL SEPARATION

Xue Pianran’s gaze was strange, a mix of delight yet also of distaste.

Fate really does play tricks on people.

The woman on the bed was the one she hated most in her life, yet now she was the person she most desired to "obtain."

As long as her soul perfectly merged with this body, she, Xue Pianran, would then be "Ye Lingyue."

The Ye Lingyue that Feng Xun loved to the point of distraction, irrationally infatuated.

Xue Pianran touched Ye Lingyue’s body, which, unlike the typical coldness of corpses, was still warm. The delicate skin made even Xue Pianran, a woman herself, feel both envious and jealous.

But soon, she wouldn’t need to envy anymore; mother had said that if she let her own soul reside in this body for seven days and nights, she could perfectly bond with Ye Lingyue’s flesh, gaining everything Ye Lingyue had, including the man, and the power and status.

"Mother, is that bitch Ye Lingyue’s soul really dead?"

Xue Pianran was witnessing Soul Separation for the first time, and she couldn’t help but find it somewhat unbelievable.

"She was in the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform for a full day and night. The aura within the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform is comparable to the hottest Mutant Fire in the world, and it only affects the soul. A day and a night, even a Divine Power Realm expert’s soul would be drastically damaged by it, let alone someone like Ye Lingyue."

Elder Ying said confidently.

Hanging in mid-air, Ye Lingyue was startled to hear this.

The Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform had such an incredible effect? But why was her soul not shattered if it left her body?

As Ye Lingyue was contemplating, she saw Xue Pianran inadvertently pull on her physical hand.

As the right palm slipped, Ye Lingyue’s pupils narrowed.

She noticed that the Qian Cauldron Seal that had been on her right palm had disappeared.

Truly and utterly disappeared.

Ye Lingyue was extremely shocked, she looked again at her own soul.

On the nearly ethereal palm, she clearly saw the Qian Cauldron Seal which stubbornly remained like a birthmark on her hand.

The Qian Cauldron had actually followed her soul, leaving her physical body?

Beyond surprise, Ye Lingyue was overjoyed.

She understood why the powerful Spiritual Artifact like the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform couldn’t refine her soul.

It must have been because of the Qian Cauldron that she escaped the fate of her soul being annihilated.

Initially, Ye Lingyue had always assumed that the Qian Cauldron was absorbed into her body back at the Ye Family Ancestral Hall; it seemed now, the Qian Cauldron truly resided within her soul.

Normally, a soul that leaves its body for more than 24 hours would spontaneously dissipate into ash.

But due to the Qian Cauldron, her soul was still well preserved. It was only because of the Protective Golden Light from the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform that it couldn’t re-enter her physical body.

As Ye Lingyue contemplated, Xue Pianran and her mother had already begun the Soul Separation.

"Pianran, let’s not delay any further, mother will help you with the Soul Separation now, sealing your soul into Ye Lingyue’s body. Remember, you must lie on the bed for these seven days and nights, and not go anywhere." Once Elder Ying had finished instructing, she began to set up the Array.

Xue Pianran also lay down on the bed herself.

Then Elder Ying lifted the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform.

The Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform began to spin, and golden lotus petals fell like a sudden downpour.

Following that, a cloud-like soul emerged from Xue Pianran’s body. With the power of the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform bolstering it, a golden halo formed on its surface, quickly entering Ye Lingyue’s physical body.

Ye Lingyue was filled with rage, yet she couldn’t burst out; she could only grit her teeth, watching the mother and daughter scheming against her physical body.

It was only when she saw her daughter’s soul completely enter Ye Lingyue’s body that Elder Ying finally exhaled in relief, withdrawing her spiritual power.

After all, the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform was a Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact; even for Elder Ying, who had a cultivation at the Peak of Nine Rank Alchemist, it was somewhat difficult to control.

In the past few days, she had used it several times, and now, her internal spiritual power was already exhausted.

She packed up the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform and checked the room’s array for any abnormalities before preparing to leave the room.

However, she heard the door suddenly being opened.

Chen Hongru walked in.

He saw Ye Lingyue and Xue Pianran lying side by side on the bed.

"Elder Ying, this affair of yours has gone too far. To perform Soul Separation in Dan Palace, if word gets out, the entire Dan Palace could suffer from your actions, being slandered as following the Evil Path," Chen Hongru said discontentedly.

Chen Hongru was inherently proud; although he was despicable, he disdained to engage in actions that even Evil Alchemists would perform, especially since the Dan Palace in Beiqing always held a high and lofty presence.

"Chen Hongru, don’t pretend to be honorable in front of me; how much cleaner do you think you are? Assign a few people to guard for me. If Pianran succeeds, your negligence will be overlooked. Otherwise, await retaliation from me and Chang Luo," Elder Ying said, as most of her subordinates had already been lost in Mercenary City, and currently in Dan Palace, everything had to be managed by Chen Hongru as well.

Chen Hongru huffed coldly.

He glanced at Ye Lingyue on the bed.

This woman, so cunning and sly, to think that she ultimately fell into Elder Ying’s hands.

It’s a pity, the whereabouts of Chaos Heaven and Earth Array are still unknown, and it’s also unclear whether Ye Lingyue is actually a descendant of Ye Wuming.

But these were no longer important.

The soul had been separated from the body for over 24 hours and had already turned to ashes.

When she woke up again, she would be Xue Pianran.

"After the matter is done, leave the Dan Palace immediately; I want nothing more to do with you and your daughter," Chen Hongru huffed and swept out of the room.

After Elder Ying also left, Ye Lingyue glanced at the bed.

The golden light from the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform still protected Ye Lingyue’s body, her soul unable to re-enter her body.

Seven days and nights, if Xue Pianran completely merged with her body, everything would be too late.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t imagine Xue Pianran, in her body, finding Su Fengxian.

Thinking of Su Fengxian, Ye Lingyue’s heart felt a slight ache.

She always felt that something had happened to Su Fengxian.

This time, if she and Su Fengxian could survive this ordeal, she must tell Su Fengxian not to hide anything from her.

Ye Lingyue took a deep breath, tucking away the deep longing in her heart.

At least, her soul was still intact, she could leave the Golden Chalice Nirvana Platform because Elder Ying thought her soul had dispersed.

Ye Lingyue moved her Divine Sense, entering the Earth Evil Prison.

On the thirty-sixth layer of Earth Evil Prison, when the Die Mei Monarch saw Ye Lingyue’s ethereal soul, hardly distinguishable from Earth Evil, it was quite shocked.

"Master, how have you turned into this?"

"It’s a long story," Ye Lingyue said with a wry smile, and roughly explained the situation, "Die Mei, do you know how to make the separated soul return to its body after a Soul Separation?"
