The spirit leaving the body is a very profound magical power. The body does not move in place. It is very convenient to use the spirit to travel far away, fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and hide through walls.
But convenience often comes with risks.
The danger of the soul leaving the body is extremely high. The main body must be placed in a safe place, preferably with someone to guard it, otherwise danger may easily occur.
Moreover, the soul's out-of-body experience also requires a lot of cultivators' consciousness, soul, and power control. Most beginners would not dare to use this move easily even if they have mastered it.
Of course, Xiao Chen does not have these worries. For him, who was once the emperor of a realm, the ability to leave the body is just a small skill that can be used freely to deal with any emergencies.
Even without Xiao Yingxue to protect him, he had no scruples in using this move.
After Xiao Chen's soul left the body, his consciousness became more refined, his ears and eyes became smarter, and almost the entire Holy See was under his watch.
With just one thought, you can scan to any corner, just like opening up God's perspective.
But just peeking is not enough, he needs to find out the secrets of the Holy See.
As a result, his soul flew directly out of the library and traveled inside and outside the Holy See.
The state of the soul is different from projection.
Although the projections of Feisa and the Royal Court of the Dark Son are insubstantial, they also have phantoms that can be seen by others and can even be attacked.
In the state of Xiao Chen's Yuanshen, it is invisible and intangible to the naked eye, unless the opponent's spiritual consciousness is at the same level as his.
Outside the library, Daniel and Feisha were chatting quietly, while several powerful gods were hiding in the secret, monitoring the library at all times.
"Ah!"
Xiao Chen chuckled, ignored them, and flew towards another palace of the Holy See.
The architecture of the Holy See is magnificent. Although the palace is not so magnificent, it has a solemn and heavy atmosphere.
Because now Xiao Chen can peek into any corner, he no longer wanders aimlessly, but searches with a purpose.
"This is where they temporarily moved their collection of books!"
The people from the Holy See moved the forbidden book temporarily to deal with Xiao Chen. Of course, they wouldn't move it too far. Xiao Chen found it out at once.
Without alerting any guards, Xiao Chen Yuanshen entered directly and found what he wanted in a heavy wooden box.
"If you put these books scattered in the library, I might not be able to find them, but you moved them here specially. Isn't there three hundred taels of silver in this place?"
Xiao Chen wanted to laugh a little.
There are hundreds of millions of books in the library. It is not an easy task to find the classics that Empress Xuan took the risk to check out.
However, the people from the Holy See sorted out all these important books, which was equivalent to helping him in turn.
Xiao Chen was not polite and started to read through these classics and records.
For a cultivator, photographic memory is only a small skill, so it only took Xiao Chen less than half an hour to read through all the records in the classics.
"War of the Gods!"
Xiao Chen murmured to himself.
According to these records, it turns out that the earth once had a very prosperous period, and many foreign evil masters broke out in melee on the earth.
For example, the demons chased by the three kings, the evil gods lurking in Japan, the demons imprisoned in the eighteenth level of hell in the Holy See, etc.
The gods and demons are fighting in a melee, and the earth has suffered unbearable damage. Therefore, the spiritual energy is gradually drying up, and it has entered the end of the Dharma era.
In addition, the classics also record that after the War of the Gods, mysterious people of unknown origins arrived on the earth several times, lingered on the earth for a period of time, and then left, seemingly looking for something.
"Are they looking for the Tianlu array?"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.
The earth is a very small planet in the universe, but it also has its own special characteristics.
The flow of time on the earth is much slower than that in the outside world. Usually, in one year on the earth, more than three years have passed in the outside world.
This difference certainly does not appear out of thin air. It must have its principles and rules.
The problem lies in the Heavenly Road in the Kunlun Mountains of China.
"Could it be that... Empress Xuan also ran away to heaven?"
Xiao Chen made a guess in his mind.
Queen Xuan disappeared, and it seemed that this was the only possibility.
Although Feisha swore that the God List only records living people, and that Empress Xuan was removed from the list, it meant that Empress Xuan was dead, but Xiao Chen did not believe it.
Xiao Chen had a hunch that Queen Xuan must still be alive, and he would meet Queen Xuan sooner or later.
“Go shopping elsewhere!”
There were still two hours left, so Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to go back and continued flying to the rest of the Holy See.
"It was previously recorded in the classics that the eighteenth level of hell in the Holy See imprisoned a devil who was injured and dying in the battle of the gods!"
"Eighteen levels of hell!"
Xiao Chen's consciousness spread and then flew towards the deepest forbidden area of the Holy See.
The Eighteenth Level of Hell is a place used by the Holy See to imprison criminals. In layman's terms, it is a prison cell.
Rumor has it that with each level you go up, the level and danger of the criminals being imprisoned will be higher, and the more vicious the criminals will be.
Many people say that of the eighteen levels of hell, only the first ten levels are functional, and the last eight levels are just decorations, all empty, because even death row inmates are not qualified to be locked down there.
But some people also say that the eight floors behind are not empty, but that the things imprisoned have been separated from the human level.
Even that can no longer be said to be a prison, but a seal, and cannot be released forever!
When Xiao Chen's soul broke into the eighteenth level of hell, whether it was a stone gate, a blockade, or a seal, it seemed to him that it didn't exist and was not hindered by anything.
Of course, Xiao Chen was not interested in the first ten floors. He directly skipped the tenth floor and entered below the tenth floor.
Eleventh floor!
Twelve floors!
Thirteenth floor!
Fourteenth floor!
Fifteenth floor!
…
Fifteen vertical floors, nearly a hundred meters deep underground, Xiao Chen found that the hell was completely empty, with almost no living creature in sight.
And as you go deeper, the pressure becomes stronger and stronger, as if you are under the sea of 10,000 meters.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen came here. If he were an ordinary warrior, he would be crushed by the pressure, his liver and gallbladder would be split, and his seven orifices would bleed.
In addition to pressure, there is another evil force in hell, which is enough to suppress even the powerful gods and prevent them from using force.
Of course, these resistances did not have much impact on Xiao Chen, whose soul had left his body. He ignored any resistance and rushed into the sixteenth level of hell.
After the previous few floors were empty, living creatures finally appeared on the sixteenth floor.
This undoubtedly made Xiao Chen curious and wanted to find out.
The layout of the sixteenth floor of hell looks no different from the other floors. In the center of the prison, a figure whose whole body is shackled comes into view.
The figure is in ragged clothes and has fluffy hair. He seems to be in a drowsy state, but unconsciously exudes an extremely evil aura.
"This breath..."
Xiao Chen frowned.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and stirred up a gust of wind out of thin air.
The gentle breeze blew by, blowing up the figure's fluffy long hair, revealing its face.
