"There are three sources of Boundary Stones. The first is called the essence and soul of all beings. Essence refers to the essence of flesh and blood, while soul denotes the true soul." Cang Xu's voice was as gentle as water, echoing amidst the lingering flames on charred corpses.
The entire village had perished in this manner, and it was a second brutal killing where the souls were summoned back. Such large-scale manipulation of souls was something that Wei Yuan felt he would find challenging, yet that Taoist, despite only having Dharma Cultivation, performed it as effortlessly as flowing water. One wonders how many times he had done so.
The pain and hatred generated from such brutal killings can cause the Divine Soul to explode with immense energy in its dying moments. This is common knowledge in the Cultivation World and is likely their intention - to maximize the value extracted from this batch of the deceased.
All things have a survival instinct, and so do Divine Souls.
