Chapter 433 This made him extremely happy.
That mysterious power also helped him successfully absorb the power within the soul.
It was only much later that Cang learned that the power that had helped him and the voice that had bewitched him came from the same soul.
And that soul resides within his sea of consciousness.
Strangely enough, although he resided in Cang's sea of consciousness, he rarely appeared and seldom spoke with him.
Aside from saying a lot of things to entice him to absorb the ghost, he remained silent afterward, as if he had vanished without a trace.
He had neither the ambition to devour him, nor the desire to seize control of his soul, nor the power to coerce him into becoming a puppet.
It was like an invisible neighbor, quietly residing in his consciousness, neither disturbing his thoughts nor paying attention to his behavior.
Cang couldn't understand how the soul, now that he only had a remnant soul left, could reside in his sea of consciousness, and what its purpose was.
With this question in mind, Cang asked it as well.
But he did not answer Cang's question.
Cang had considered secretly destroying or expelling that consciousness from his body, but he tried many methods without success.
He also subtly mocked Cang for overestimating his abilities, telling him not to waste his efforts.
He will leave when his time comes.
Thus, two different consciousnesses coexisted in one soul body.
As time went on, Cang sometimes even doubted whether he had already left.
Later, that consciousness took advantage of the gaps in his conversation with Li Jin to subtly infuse his words with a bewitching power.
When the other party is completely unprepared, plant the seeds of seduction in their consciousness.
"So, I had no idea about any of this beforehand. I'm truly innocent. We're old friends, how could I possibly harm you? If I harmed you, wouldn't I have no one to chat with?"
"Although all of this was not my conscious decision, it is still related to me. It's just that I failed to notice it in time, otherwise I would have definitely stopped it."
Cang said aggrievedly, "However, I also suffered an undeserved disaster because of this. I almost lost my soul at the time, and it took many years to solidify my soul again. This can be considered as receiving the retribution I deserved."
Li Jin sneered: "Since you finally managed to repair the remnant soul, you should stay far away instead of appearing in front of me."
Cang's voice weakened: "Hey! You know I'm just a remnant soul. I can't go anywhere, and only you can hear my voice."
Otherwise, why would he risk being beaten up to appear in front of Li Jin?
It's just that the days without anyone to chat with are too hard to bear.
It took a lot of courage for me to come out this time, and I took a lot of risks.
Cang is a lonely soul, capable of passing through walls and drifting freely.
But ever since that strange consciousness invaded his soul, he found himself as if he were imprisoned, unable to drift away any further.
They can only move within a radius of one li (500 meters).
He had no doubt that all of this was related to the consciousness within his body.
Cang questioned them repeatedly, but the other party remained silent.
Although Cang was angry, he could only accept his bad luck.
As time went by, Cang witnessed the myriad aspects of life within this small space, becoming an observer.
He has witnessed the changing seasons and seen many creatures rush by.
Ants migrated in neat rows under the setting sun, their migration proceeding in a busy yet orderly fashion.
A scene of a honey badger chasing a gray rabbit.
Scenes of inter-tribal groups fighting each other for territory also occur frequently.
Even though they lead turbulent lives, they are free, unlike him...
Later, apart from the time he spent cultivating, he shut down his five senses and put himself into a long slumber.
Cultivation, slumber, cultivation, slumber... This cycle repeated itself for thousands of years.
When he opened his eyes again, the outside world had changed.
He was awakened by a commotion.
Cang discovered that a city had been built in this place, named Youtu.
A magnificent building was erected where he was located.
After that, Li Jin moved in.
From then on, he no longer slept except for cultivating.
Occasionally, I would wander around the city, lingering among the common people, listening to gossip, observing daily life, and experiencing the long-lost warmth of human connection.
Unintentionally, Cang discovered that Li Jin could actually hear his voice.
This made him extremely happy.
Thousands of years!
Apart from the few words spoken to him by the consciousness within his sea of consciousness, he had not spoken to anyone else for a long time.
Even though he now wanders among the common people, no one can see him or hear his voice.
Without a doubt, all of this must be related to that consciousness; it must have done something to tamper with it.
However, thousands of years have passed, and even though his strength has increased considerably, he still cannot defeat that consciousness.
When he discovered that there were still ghosts in the city, he felt somewhat envious.
Fortunately, there was still Li Jin who could hear his voice.
After that, he began to chat with Li Jin from time to time.
Li Jin's voice grew colder: "Then you should have stayed hidden. You dared to appear before me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you again?"
Although many years have passed since that incident, it still makes him very unhappy when he thinks about it now.
Cang said apologetically, "Although the incident back then was not my fault, it was caused by me. It was indeed my fault. I only blame myself for being too weak, otherwise I should have noticed it earlier."
"Later I questioned him, and he said he meant no harm, he just wanted me to be more decisive in my actions."
Clearly, even Cang felt that this reason was untenable, and his voice trailed off, indicating that he was somewhat guilty.
Upon hearing this, Li Jin's face darkened: "Ridiculous. Why should I need others to tell me what to do?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I said to him too. Um... I can apologize to you, on his behalf and on my own behalf. I'm sorry."
"Look, we're old friends, can we... turn this page?"
Cang Gan reappeared because he knew that Li Jin could not completely erase him.
Having learned his lesson last time, he became much more cautious.
He was afraid that the consciousness might cause him some trouble again without his knowledge.
Li Jin knew this too; at most, he could only severely injure Cang, not completely destroy him.
No one knows what secret method he used.
Their behavior these past few days has been like that of ordinary tourists, spending most of their time wandering around the market streets eating and drinking.
Apart from that, there was nothing unusual.
If they hadn't inquired about the know-it-all from the teahouse clerk the day they entered the city, he would have truly believed that the three of them were simply taking the little fox home and then sightseeing along the way.
However, several days have passed, and they have not searched for anyone.
However, Li Jin rarely paid him any attention, letting Cang talk on and on by himself.
Occasionally, when he's in a good mood, Li Jin will nod or give a brief reply.
Cang didn't feel embarrassed at all. He didn't care whether Li Jin paid attention to him or not, and just said whatever came to mind.
It seems that whether Li Jin responds or not is not important to him.
He does not believe that dialogue must be based on interaction between the two parties.
With one person speaking and the other a silent listener, he found that this kind of communication seemed more relaxed and enjoyable.
There won't be a situation where you say something and the other person immediately refutes you.
