Chapter 4 The Ancient Legend
The huge blue footprint phantom stepped hard on the tortoise shell, and immediately, the dark green brilliance on the surface of the tortoise shell dimmed, as if a flame died out when it met rain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and the ground trembled violently... The tortoise shell was trampled into the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky.

A cool night wind blows, the dust settles, and the earth stops shaking.A gigantic crater of footprints ten feet in size appeared where Li Qingsong was originally standing, and cracks like spider webs spread around the hole centered on it.

At this moment, the phantom of the blue footprint has exhausted all its power and disappeared without a trace.

Under the bright moonlight, Li Kang stood on the edge of the cliff, with white hair, wrinkled face, and curved back, like a candle in the breeze, extremely fragile, and might fall down at any time.

He burned almost all of his lifespan, exhausted all the power of his natal astrology, and performed the taboo astrology: the Seven Stars of Blood Recommendation. If his cultivation could not break through to the Blue Star Realm, his lifespan would be only one year left at most.

However, Li Kang did not regret doing so. If he had to choose again, he would still choose to use the blood recommendation seven-star technique to deal with Li Qingsong without hesitation.

Because, Li Qingsong forced to death someone more important than his life! ! !

His pair of cloudy and dim old eyes stared blankly at the huge crater in the distance, but there was no trace of joy of revenge in his eyes, only endless sadness and loneliness...

"I killed Li Qingsong to avenge Wan'er, but can Wan'er be brought back to life?"

Li Kang knew that the answer was no. When he thought of this, his heart couldn't help shaking, hurting, and dripping blood!

He raised his old face, faced the cool night wind, looked at the high and endless night sky, and looked at the bright stars all over the sky, he thought of the little things he and Wan'er had spent together.

Thinking, thinking, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Kang's mouth, and the skin at the corners of his eyes wrinkled, but those dim eyes gradually became moist and blurred...

After a long time, his consciousness returned to the real world from that beautiful and heartbreaking memory!
The next moment, in his dim eyes, suddenly, there was a gleam of light, a ray of hope.

Li Kang thought of an ancient legend he heard in his previous life.

Whether it is an astral warrior or an ordinary mortal, everyone has a soul, but the strength of the soul varies.The strength of the soul has nothing to do with cultivation, status, power... It has nothing to do with people's will and obsession.

As for what the soul is, no one has ever clearly explained it. Li Kang only knows that the soul is a special thing that is more important than the body.

If a person has no soul, then living is nothing but a walking dead.

The ancient astronomers compared this world to a great sea of ​​suffering, saying that human beings are born to suffer and suffer, and struggle in this great sea of ​​suffering for a lifetime, so the baby cries unceasingly as soon as it comes out of the womb, because he knows what is waiting for him next. It will be a lifetime of hardships and ups and downs.

The world is a great sea of ​​suffering, the human body is a small boat in this sea of ​​suffering, and the human soul is the person in the small boat and the real master of man.

When the human body dies, the human soul loses the boat that carried it, and it will sink into the sea of ​​suffering, and then dissipate between the heaven and the earth.

As for the dead body, the length of time for the soul to dissipate is related to the strength and obsession of the soul.

The stronger a person's will and the stronger his obsession, the stronger his soul will be. After the body dies, the longer the soul will stay in this world and the slower it will dissipate.

After the death of an ordinary person, the soul will disappear within a few hours, but after the death of those with strong will and strong obsession, the soul can remain for several days or even months before dissipating without the help of external forces.This may be the source of the saying that there are ghosts in the world.

According to legend, as long as the soul is immortal, even if the body dies, it can be resurrected.

However, the conditions for resurrection are very harsh. Only a Star Saint whose cultivation has surpassed the seventh rank of Venus Realm and reached an unprecedented highest level can use heaven-defying means to help the soul reshape the body.

……

Although, it is just an ancient legend that Xingsheng reshaped the body for the soul, and no one has witnessed it with his own eyes. Even if Li Kang's cultivation base reached the Purple Star Realm in his last life, he has never seen the legendary seventh-rank star scholar of the Venus Star Realm, let alone It is said that it is a Star Saint whose cultivation base has surpassed the seventh rank of the Venus Realm.

However, Li Kang's originally dead and desolate heart, because of this, has a little more light of hope and ignites a little spark-if there is no star saint in this world, then he will be the only star saint in the world, even if This road is full of difficulties, in order to revive Wan'er, I will never regret it!
Li Kang's gloomy eyes showed a gleam of light, looking at the bright stars in the sky, he said firmly: "Wan'er, I, Li Kang, hereby swear that the sky and the moon will serve as a guide, and I will help you reshape your body in this life!"

After he finished speaking, he thought of the ferocious beasts in Damian Mountain, worried that the beasts would destroy Chu Wan'er's body, so he planned to go to the bottom of the cliff to retrieve Wan'er's body and her soul.

At this moment, Li Kang saw a figure with dim green brilliance crawl out from the mouth of the huge pit in the distance, with disheveled hair like a ghost, limping and fleeing towards Huzhai.

This person was Li Qingsong who had survived the catastrophe. In his left hand, he was tightly holding a small dark green turtle shell that had been broken into several pieces.

His eyes showed deep fear and tenderness. What he was afraid of was the astonishing methods of that stranger who looked exactly like Li Kang, and what was painful was that the Black Turtle Star Treasure in his hand had been completely wiped out. destroy.

To be precise, the turtle shell star treasure is a powerful defensive star treasure used by the astral warriors in the green star realm.

Star Treasures are rare treasures. They are rare because Star Treasure Masters are too rare. There are 36 large and small cottages in the Damian Mountains, with a total population of close to one million, but there is no Star Treasure Master.

The country of Yan, to which the Damian Mountains belong, has a population of hundreds of millions, and there are tens of thousands of star masters, but the number of star treasure masters does not exceed ten, and none of them has reached the level of a master.

At the same time, the success rate of most star treasure masters refining star treasures is very low, less than one in ten, and even the star treasure masters at the master level have a success rate of less than [-]% in refining star treasures of lower green star realms.

Therefore, even Huzhai, the second largest village in the Damian Mountains, only has one Green Star Realm Star Treasure. hands.

The Ink Turtle Star Treasure in Li Qingsong's hands was actually given to his father Li Ba by the people of Qin.As for the reason why the people of Qin gave the Star Treasure, they hoped that the Huzhai would be used by the Qin State - against Yan.

While running, Li Qingsong looked at the Black Turtle Star Treasure in his hand that was broken into several pieces from the corner of his eye, and his heart was bleeding: This is the only star treasure of father. Dad did not hesitate to betray Huzhai because of it, but now it is destroyed own hands.

He hated the stranger who looked like Li Kang's twin brother, but at this moment he didn't even have the courage to look back, because he was so frightened that he just ran away with his tail between his legs.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, the aging Li Kang looked at Li Qingsong who had disappeared into the night, sighed helplessly, and said to himself, "I didn't expect Li Qingsong to have a star treasure in his body. I still can't kill him!"

"My realm is really too low. Even if I burnt almost all my life essence and natal astrology, I still haven't exerted one percent of the power of the Bleeding Recommended Seven Stars..."

Li Kang's heart was full of regret and anger, but he was no longer able to pursue Li Qingsong.

At this time, as long as Li Qingsong dared to fight, he would definitely be able to kill Li Kang easily when he returned here, but he chose to escape in embarrassment.

After Li Kang made sure that Li Qingsong was far away from here, he prepared to walk towards the mountain path leading to the bottom of the cliff.

However, as soon as he took the first step, he felt pain like falling apart, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

He hurriedly stopped, panting heavily, paused for a while, and waited for his breath to calm down before taking the second step, which was half the size of the first step.

But even so, Li Kang still felt the pain of falling apart, and the pain made him unbearable.

"Aww", "Aww", "Aww"

Suddenly, a frightening howl of wolves came from the distant mountains and forest along the night wind, and penetrated into Li Kang's ears.

Hearing the howling of wolves, he gritted his teeth tightly to endure the piercing pain, and tremblingly took the third small step, then the fourth small step, and the fifth small step...

Every time he took a small step, it was accompanied by a piercing pain, but he didn't dare to stop and rest, even if it was only for a short while, he was afraid that once he stopped, he would never be able to walk again .

He was even more afraid that he wasted time and let the wolves snatch Wan'er's body away.

Li Kang's wrinkled face was already covered with cold sweat, and the deep groove-like wrinkles were filled with crystal clear sweat.

He bent over, hunched his back, clenched his teeth, and tremblingly walked towards the bottom of the cliff. Every small step he took was extremely difficult, and the piercing pain involved every nerve in him...

The bright moonlight made his black shadow reflected on the ground very long, very long... This figure looked extremely lonely, lonely, and desolate...

As time went by bit by bit, Li Kang's old and thin body gradually disappeared into the distant mountain road, blending into the vast night...

At this moment, suddenly, a dark blue brilliance shot from a distance, and soon this dark blue brilliance reached the sky above the place where Li Kang had just fought.

It was only when I got closer that I could see that the dark blue brilliance was a group of brilliant blue nebulae, with an area of ​​about ten feet in diameter, and within it were dots of red, green, red gold... starlight shining non-stop, like pairs of curious children's eyes The eyes are blinking constantly.
