Generally speaking, for a living being with a soul, its soul is divided into two parts, one is the spirit and the other is the soul, the 'spirit' is energy, and the soul is the self.

The function of the spirit is to drive the normal operation of the soul.

Regardless of practitioners or ordinary people, or other spiritual beings, no matter how high their cultivation is, as long as they are still in the human world, their spiritual capacity is limited.

In addition to the leap in the life level, it is manifested in the practitioners, which is the enhancement of the soul brought about by the breakthrough of the realm, which in turn drives the increase in the total amount of 'spirit'.

Apart from this, it is difficult to have other means to replenish the spirit.

To a certain extent, the amount of 'spirit' can be regarded as the lifespan of a living being, which is the internal manifestation of lifespan.

Therefore, creatures who have not reached the fairyland will have their lifespan exhausted.

Of course, it is not without a solution. If someone is willing to take action, he can also guarantee the independent existence of the soul and send him to die.

Even going one step further, it is not impossible to recreate the soul and reshape the body.

There are also some special practice methods that can maintain one's own immortality. Although the names may be different, the essence of these practice methods is to supplement one's own spirit.

Because it is against the heaven and the earth, it is even more difficult to practice these methods, which can be said to be truly against the sky.

In addition to these two, there are other more extreme ways that can ensure the immortality of one's own soul.

However, these methods often require paying a huge price, and it is just a common thing that life is worse than death.

In short, if the creatures in the fairyland want to live forever, they must either have a big force behind them, or have a big opportunity, or pay a big price.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a practitioner, when the normal lifespan is exhausted, it is generally a part of the spirit in the soul. When it is exhausted, only the soul remains, which also dissipates between heaven and earth in a daze.

As for unnatural death.

Ordinary people who have not practiced, usually suffer severe physical injuries and die.

Including direct injury, or the effects of disease.

After the death of the body, even the 'spirit' is still sufficient, but because the soul of ordinary people is too weak.

After the soul is separated from the body and directly exposed to the outside, it will instantly become gray and gray, without the ability to exist independently in the world.

As for practitioners, their souls will continue to grow with their own cultivation, and after reaching a certain level, they can even leave the body directly. As for going further, different cultivation methods also have different manifestations.

The damage to the physical body alone has very limited effect on practitioners. What's more, even if the physical body dies, they can still survive.

Therefore, most of the accidental death methods are caused by irreversible damage to the soul.

…

However, this does not mean that the physical body is not important to practitioners.

For low-level cultivators, although they can still survive after leaving the body, they can't last long if they face the world directly with their souls.

Because of the stability of the soul, high-level practitioners are naturally not as difficult to live as low-level practitioners, but most Taoism and supernatural powers require the participation of the body.

Just relying on the soul, it is difficult to exert one-tenth of one's own strength, not to mention that when confronting the enemy, the damage received is less of a buffer, and it directly acts on the soul.

Don't even think about improving your cultivation base.

It is also difficult to recover the body.

Not to mention the low success rate of directly snatching other people's bodies, even if it succeeds, it will take a lot of time to adjust.

As for reshaping the body by oneself, it needs to consume a huge amount of resources in order to give birth to flesh and blood.

…

Originally, this normal life, old age, sickness and death, changed after the arrival of the underworld.

After the 'spirit' is exhausted, under the influence of the rules of the underworld, the soul that should have dissipated into nothingness can begin to exist forever in the world, forming a kind of existence called 'ghost' in popular terms.

If there is no hell, the gestation process of new life is not only the body, but also the cohesion of the soul.

After the appearance of the underworld, the birthing process of life has changed. The newborn soul is no longer conceived through the heaven and the earth, but the underworld purifies the original soul and wears away everything in the past.

Then directly put the cleaned soul into the world.

It is equivalent to exercising this rule for heaven and earth. To be more precise, the underworld has become a part of the operation of heaven and earth, the entire world.

Therefore, it would be a big mistake to think of the underworld as a large-scale force or something. At some point, their function is more similar to a natural phenomenon, like earth, water, fire, and wind.

…

When Chen Yu returned from the underworld, the sun had just risen. Looking at the whole world, under the blue sky and white sun, last night seemed to be calm and nothing happened.

However, due to inexperience, some ghosts survived in the world, some of them were directly exposed to the sun, and the screams they made announced something to the world~lightnovelpub.net~Whether people like it or not No, there is something more in this world.

…

The news that was originally broadcast at around 7 o'clock in the morning was advanced by about half an hour, and it was broadcast from one station to the entire station.

After the spiritual energy recovered, the people of Ming Dynasty, who had experienced similar scenes several times, were not surprised by this.

However, the news it notified still caused fear in the hearts of countless people.

Even after careful retouching, you can still see some hosts with dark circles, and said hoarsely:

"The following is an urgent news announcement."

"At twelve o'clock last night, as the spiritual recovery intensified, ghosts in folklore began to appear in large numbers, causing tens of thousands of deaths, among them..."

…

"Finally... please remember, don't go out when it's dark."

"Next, let me introduce the development of the practice academies in various places in Ming Dynasty..."

…

In fact, not only in the territory of Ming Dynasty, but also in the whole world.

As one of the countries with the largest population density, Daming's situation is considered relatively good.

Because some time ago, through the urgent construction of some buildings, Daming moved all the population in the suburbs and rural areas to the city.

In other parts of the world, for example, there are countless distances away from Ming Dynasty, and some countries that were originally neighboring countries of Ming Dynasty also have extremely dense populations.

Because of the lack of control, or lack of ability to control the spiritual energy after it was revived, under the impact of the ghost this time, its casualties were dozens of times that of Daming.

There are even some isolated small towns, which were directly slaughtered by some powerful and strange creatures that broke away from Huangquan Road.
