From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 161: Chapter 159: The So-Called Soul Force_1

As Fang Ren closed his eyes, he suddenly realized that the scope of his inner vision had expanded once again, from the original ten or so meters to over fifty meters.

Within this range of over fifty meters, even where his line of sight could not reach, he was able to comprehend everything at a glance.

But after this activation of his inner vision, everything appeared different; previously, his inner eye would see everything as a black and white image, but now, the objects within the view began to show colors.

However, this differed greatly from what his physical eyes saw before.

For instance, the expanse of flowers and grass behind him radiated faint white glows, entirely different from the green and red colors visible to the naked eye. And the few trees beside him were also flickering with white glows, which clearly were much stronger than those from the flowers and grass.

Fang Ren observed himself and found that his own body was also shrouded in white light, but the glow emanating from his body was very dazzling, especially around the lower abdomen, the location of his Spiritual Root.

"Is this the soul force? But what is its use?"

Fang Ren furrowed his brows and opened his eyes, and the surroundings returned to their original colors. In this era on Earth, no one had ever come into contact with soul force, and he couldn't help but feel a great deal of confusion about this sudden experience.

"Hehehaha!"

Qianye patted his head with her arms again, signaling him to explore on his own.

Fang Ren pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes again, but this time he didn't activate his inner vision; instead, he sensed the newly acquired soul force.

He didn't see any of the objects around him, nor the white light on his own body, but he felt a force that didn't exist in his physical form.

The force was very faint. He could only feel it and found it very difficult to wield it. Trying to move the faint energy was like trying to push a great mountain.

After attempting for a while, he gave up and activated his inner vision once again. Everything around him instantly brightened, casting white glows on all things alive.

Since the energy couldn't be maneuvered at will, he decided to use his physical body to move the soul force.

He squatted down and touched the faintly glowing grass on the ground with his fingertips, the white aura from his body colliding with the grass.

"I see," Fang Ren said. "So my Soul contains an energy that can be cultivated and wielded, while others have only the energy of the Soul with no force to command?"

Qianye nodded.

Fang Ren continued, "Then, is it possible for me to use only Soul force to kill a Practitioner of the Mid-Stage of Chongshan Realm without using True Qi?"

Qianye kept carving, "The growth of Soul force is closely related to one's Cultivation Level. The Master cannot inflict damage with Soul force on Practitioners of relatively higher Realms, because their Souls are inherently strong, albeit without the power to attack."

Fang Ren nodded, "What if, for instance, I wanted to kill a Practitioner of the Ruoshui Stage with my Soul force?"

Qianye carved, "In the blink of an eye."

"Huh? Are you sure?" Fang Ren was taken aback.

Qianye nodded emphatically and continued carving, "The Master's Soul is unmatched among his peers. Currently at the Mid-Stage of the Chongshan Realm by the standards of this era, it would be as easy as using True Qi to kill a Ruoshui Stage Practitioner—in the blink of an eye."

"So you're saying, whatever level my True Qi can achieve, my Soul force can reach that level too?"

"Heh heh!"

Qianye nodded again.

The previously uncertain scope of killing, Fang Ren now had an approximate grasp of it, and he couldn't help but feel even more astounded.

Qianye implied that whatever Realm of powerful expert he could kill with his strength, his Soul force could also achieve that, and it would be done invisibly.

As Fang Ren pondered, he immediately began to mobilize his Soul force again, reaching out to touch the large tree beside him.

Krak krak krak—

In an instant, the entire tree withered away.

His heart still shaken and struggling to settle, he looked at his hands, "Once I fully cultivate this ability, I can release it like True Qi... In actual combat, combining overt combat with covert attacks, my combat power is sure to double."
