I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Chapter 70 - 66: Does the Soul Exist? (10k Completed on the First Day)

Chapter 70: Chapter 66: Does the Soul Exist? (10k Completed on the First Day)Watching the rain outside from within a cave was a unique and tranquil experience.

Through the cave opening, you could see raindrops falling like strands of pearl curtains, seeming to cut off the outside world’s bustle with a screen of water.

The rain washed over the earth, cleansing all things and imbuing the originally silent forest with vibrant life. The green leaves, nourished by the rain, appeared even greener and ready to drip with life; rocks, soil, all soaked by the rain, turned deep and substantial.

Chen Yun lit a bonfire at the mouth of the cave, enjoying this unique tranquility while appreciating the fresh world after the rain, feeling a detachment and open-mindedness far removed from the mundane world.

Although the cave was littered with corpses.

It didn’t affect Chen Yun’s contemplative mood while sitting at the entrance.

Even before Chen Yun had sat down to wait for the rain to cease, he had already dealt with the bodies.

First, he activated his much-enhanced Telekinesis to form a shield above him like an umbrella, bringing back the bald man’s body from outside.

Then.

He took a dagger and gave each of the thirteen bodies three more stabs, then piled them up in a corner of the cave and used rubble from inside the cave to bury them.

He planned to wait until the rain stopped, then bring over the bodies from the remains of the wooden hut and bury them all deep in this cave, before collapsing the entrance to the cave on the outside.

Finally, remove any traces of his left belongings, fingerprints, footprints, and the like.

In this way, this first murder disposal work was almost over.

Even though this was deep in the mountains, where people rarely ventured, caution was still essential.

Sitting beside the bonfire, if you momentarily overlooked the rows of bodies behind.

The noisy yet peaceful scene of rain in front was indeed calming.

The rainwater, following the rugged mountain rock crevices, collected into trickling streams that flowed tirelessly on towards the distance, winding along their way.

The world was enveloped in a layer of misty water vapor, as if shrouded in a light veil, making the surrounding scenery appear both hidden and unveiled, adding a touch of mystery and poetry.

Looking into the distance.

Chen Yun remembered the foolishly endearing black bear, not knowing where it was sheltering from the rain. Perhaps it was awkwardly nestled at the base of a large tree, its fur all matted with water. Or maybe it had just found a small cave to rest in temporarily, struggling to curl up its bulky body.

Chen Yun also thought of Bai jin, the silly dog, wondering how Bai Shi was taking care of him. Was Bai Shi currently troubled by Bai jin’s bowel movements?

Chen Yun’s thoughts wandered further to his family far away in Jiangnan Province, his mother at home overseeing workers renovating his grandfather’s house that had been left behind before New Year; his father and brother working and studying in Runzhou City. He wondered if their daily lives were still joyful? If they had any worries?

Chen Yun’s mind drifted.

He thought of the black bear and Bai jin, Bai Shi, and his distant family in Jiangnan Province.

Looking at the curtain of rain, he let his mind wander randomly for a long time.

He didn’t feel the slightest ripple from the neat and efficient killing he had just committed.

This was one of the influences brought about by the change in strength.

It is indeed difficult for humans to fear ants.

If something truly scared him, then let it become a ghost and come to claim his life.

In that case, he might actually feel a tinge of fear.

Upon this thought.

Chen Yun suddenly had a bright idea.

In this world, are there ghosts?

Or to put it another way, when a person or any living being dies, is there a soul that emerges?

The soul, non-material in nature, resides in the body as its master and without it, the body is dead.

Science could not prove its existence.

Regarding this issue, the him of the past had neither the ability nor the courage to explore.

But now, having just wrapped up the crime scene, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and decisively began to try using spiritual power to carefully perceive everything around him.

Now his spiritual power had grown stronger again.

If souls truly existed, might he be able to perceive them?

If those guys from the Spiritual Cultivation Association had turned into ghosts, it would be perfect to test if he could kill them again using spiritual power.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun’s Transparent World 3.0 unleashed its full force.

In this moment, the entire world around him was especially vivid; the sound of every raindrop hitting the ground was perfectly replayed in his mind.

He could even notice the ripples caused by the rain falling into the puddles on the nearby waterlogged ground, all clearly perceived and recreated in his mind.

Not to mention, he could also observe:

The minute magnitude of leaves trembling under the rain’s pelt, the slow absorption of rainwater by the humus layer of soil and fallen leaves, the rustling movements of insects hiding in the soil due to the rain...

He temporarily disregarded all this plethora of information.

He reduced the observation intensity of his vision, hearing, and smell to the lowest degree, leaving only his spiritual power to focus on sensing.

He didn’t believe that his current vision, hearing, or smell could detect the existence of souls; it would be better to lower their CPU usage.

He dedicated all his attention to spiritual power, focusing on trying to sense souls.

In a flash, only the spiritual power of Transparent World 3.0 began its carpet-style

But...

The black bear clearly belonged to this wilderness,

Not to the cities where humans dwelt.

Perhaps in the future, when he was wandering around the world, he would come back and take it with him.

But...

That was the future, not now.

Chen Yun was aware that he, who had only undergone slumber evolution four times, was not strong enough!
