Chapter 326 Their Difference
As soon as Liu Yuanyuan thought of that, she couldn't help but shudder. If this really touched upon a national issue, it would be far more complicated than it could be.
Tang Ziji slowly shook his head and said solemnly, "Whether the matter is serious enough is still unknown. However, since it involves such matters, we have to be vigilant. After all, we still have no idea what they are planning. Moreover, we have analyzed it before. The previous series of events were probably organized and planned. There must be a large-scale organization behind it."
He paused slightly before continuing, "From various indications in the past, this organization seems to have dabbled in things like Taoism and metaphysics. They're doing this to achieve certain personal goals. But judging by your aunt's incident, their goals may be far beyond our imagination. But as I've said before, in today's world, cultivating immortality and refining techniques is almost a fantasy. Those who possess special abilities are mostly born with them. However, if one is not born with these abilities but insists on practicing such things, they are very likely to embark on the path of evil cultivation.
However, most people don't understand the intricacies involved, nor are they proficient in them. After all, true successors are few and far between in today's world. Even among evil cultivators, I'm afraid quite a few, including those in our department, know very little about things like souls, guardian spirits, and spells. "In our department, most people don't actually have much interest in these things, nor do they take the initiative to delve into them," Tang Ziji said, frowning, his eyes filled with worry. "In fact, most of them don't have much interest in these things, nor do they take the initiative to study them in depth."
If it weren't for their special physical condition, they wouldn't have joined the department or been exposed to these things. On normal missions, they just follow what the department teaches them and use whatever the department gives them. Because they know that with their current level and abilities, coupled with the current conditions, it's difficult for them to make significant improvements.
"But those evil cultivators are different. They cultivate with a purpose, so at first, they might notice a significant boost in their abilities after devouring one or two souls. But as their cultivation deepens, the number of souls they need increases, and the boost in their abilities becomes increasingly negligible. That's why some people rack their brains to create devious formations, hoping to use giant beast souls to aid their cultivation. However, the effect of this on their subsequent cultivation is almost negligible. Yet, these people are unwilling to give up, and so they keep trying."
Liu Yuanyuan listened and nodded, agreeing, "Indeed. But without the involvement of the country, this problem has always existed. How could it become so complicated?"
Tang Ziji was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Yuanyuan, have you ever thought that perhaps we two are the only special existences in this world?"
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Tang Ziji with confusion.
Seeing this, Tang Ziji patiently explained, "Have I mentioned before that everyone's spiritual practice is inseparable from Qi? This Qi is equivalent to a kind of energy in nature. In the past, this Qi was all around us. But before humans could figure out how Qi was produced, it was almost gone.
Later, research discovered that the soul is actually a manifestation of Qi. Furthermore, the stronger the soul power, the stronger the Qi contained within. Conversely, the stronger the Qi, the more likely one is to achieve success in cultivation. Thus, some evil cultivators began to plunder the Qi of others and transform it into their own to enhance their strength. In their eyes, Qi may simply be a formless ball of energy. So, what does Qi look like to you?
Liu Yuanyuan tilted her head, thinking seriously for a moment, her tone a little uncertain: "I'm not sure. At first, I saw some spots of light because I could sense their existence. But then I discovered that those spots of light were actually emitted by the souls of living things.
Later, with the help of some auxiliary means, I was able to see souls that looked exactly like real people. Furthermore, their souls had different colors: some were blue, some yellow, and still others had a mixture of blue and yellow. "However, some living people occasionally emit this blue or yellow light. And I could even hear them speak. Then you said this stone of mine also contained Qi, perhaps a concentrated form of Qi. But to me, it was just an ordinary piece of jade emitting green light.
But you also know that I need your spells to see these souls and the like, and I can't see them directly with my naked eyes. And my auxiliary copper coins, which Grandma Zhao gave me. Isn't the soul that Grandma Zhao saw through the copper coins exactly the same as the original body?
Tang Ziji shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know either. At least, I'm the only one who can see a soul exactly like the original body through that spell. Most of the members of the department saw the same thing you saw at first, just points of light or balls of Qi. So, I can't be sure what Grandma Zhao saw."
"Could it be that your colleagues are hiding something?" Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but frown and raised her question, "Because I feel that what I see has begun to change as my Qi increases and condenses."
Tang Ziji paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I'm not sure. It's possible, but that's not the point. What I really want to say is that among those of us with special abilities, the vast majority can't see souls. They can't even see things like guardian spirits."
"Although some ancient books record guardian spirits, in reality, no one has ever actually seen one. Most people only see the Qi energy contained within each person's soul. The Qi emitted by a guardian spirit could easily be mistaken for a portion of the person's own Qi." Tang Ziji's expression grew increasingly serious. "Take your aunt's case, for example. The person behind this organization must be able to see souls and even know of the existence of guardian spirits. Furthermore, he can even detect the ghost Qi condensed into the shape of a baby."
"This means that he may know more than all of us combined; his abilities may be greater than all of our combined abilities. He may even have studied the sorcery of the countries surrounding us."
Hearing this, Liu Yuanyuan finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She looked at Tang Ziji and asked, "Are you going to report this?"
