Xu Zimei was swallowed by the Toad Spirit's tongue and trapped within its belly, facing corrosive acid rain and vengeful souls. He intentionally allowed himself to be engulfed to study the eerie forces. Inside, he unleashed a powerful blade intent, causing the Toad Spirit's physical form to explode. The Toad Spirit reformed as a shadow soul, boasting its immortality, but Zhou Yanjun revealed it was a Dead Soul and offered Xu Zimei a Soul Seeking Chapter to defeat it. The Toad Spirit panicked and attacked Zhou Yanjun, but Xu Zimei intercepted.

The vast Blade Qi was like a rain of blades, shrouding the densely packed heavens and earth.

Xu Zimei wielded his blade downward, slicing the heavens and breaking the earth.

For him, even if he couldn't kill the Toad Spirit, he couldn't let it disturb Zhou Yanjun.

Moreover, Zhou Yanjun was very fast.

He knew a lot about the Old Universe.

Even though the Old Universe now was unfamiliar to many, having gone through change over the ages.

As long as the matter was related to the Old Universe of the past, he could see it at a glance.

At this moment, Zhou Yanjun used his finger in place of a pen, writing faster and faster.

Almost becoming a blur.

Soon, the densely packed golden light shone at the edge of heaven and earth.

Under that vast golden light, were tiny yet real characters.

Each character was vivid, as if coming to life.

Once the Soul Seeking technique was written, Zhou Yanjun waved his hand, and countless characters flowed like a river.

They began to surge toward Xu Zimei.

"Swooshing, swooshing."

The sea of text flowed, rushing towards Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei's reaction was quick.

With a wave of his hand, he gathered all these words into his palm.

Of course, this was not the end.

He ensured the words were intact and began evolving them in his mind.

In fact, at his level, he could learn many things at a glance.

"To see a thousand years in a glance" is not just a saying.

Besides, although the Soul Seeking technique was an Old Universe method,

Xu Zimei had never encountered it before.

But it didn't stop him from quickly mastering it.

The so-called Soul Seeking technique seemed to search for the Divine Soul.

But actually, it is about searching for genes.

Because the cultivation methods of the Old Universe and the New Universe differ greatly.

One emphasizes the physical body, the other emphasizes the Divine Soul.

According to Zhou Yanjun, the reason for their Undying Body lies in killing their Divine Soul.

And the Divine Soul can always be restored.

Just like the strong ones of the New Universe, no matter how destroyed the physical body is, as long as the Divine Soul remains, they can be reborn from a drop of blood.

For the Old Universe people, as long as the physical body remains, no matter how the Divine Soul is annihilated, they can return to their original state.

This is the reason for their immortality.

But their physical bodies are hidden very secretly.

It can be said that ordinary people simply cannot find them.

The only option is to cultivate the Old Universe's methods and perceive the existence of genes.

To possibly find the grotesque's physical body.

This piece, the Soul Seeking technique, is more straightforward, allowing Xu Zimei to perceive genes.

Once he thoroughly memorized the Soul Seeking technique.

Xu Zimei immediately mastered it.

He slowly opened his palm, and golden patterns began to spread in the center of his palm.

This belonged to Xu Zimei's genes.

Of course, the ideal state for Old Universe people during gene cultivation is to activate all the genes throughout the body.

However, since Xu Zimei had limited time and hadn't thoroughly unraveled the Old Universe's methods,

he currently activated only the genes in his palm.

Yet this was enough.

Enough for him to use the Soul Seeking technique.

At this moment, the Toad Spirit was continuing its frenzy,

seemingly wanting to kill everyone around.

Its power grew stronger, and everywhere on its body began seeping toxins.

These toxins could kill with a touch, causing a person's Divine Soul and body to rot.

The elder from the Deceit Domain wasn't concerned initially.

As the so-called Undying Body, he was confident that no matter how Xu Zimei struggled, he wouldn't escape his grasp.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared midway.

Zhou Yanjun's arrival disrupted the great situation; now he can't even think about killing Xu Zimei.

Whether he can survive depends on luck.

This was enough to make the elder anxious.

Thus, his offense grew more fierce, as if aiming to annihilate all earth and skies.

But Xu Zimei remained unfazed.

For Xu Zimei, this Deceit Domain elder's power wasn't strong.

The truly difficult aspect was the opponent's Undying Body.

It was the bizarre nature of being undying that made people helpless.

Even strong ones were unwilling to get entangled with them.

Because they're like sticky candy; once you get attached, it's very unlucky.

Now, having mastered the Soul Seeking technique, with genes activated in his hand.

Xu Zimei discovered the world before him was different.

His hands swiped through the void.

If the previous physical body was like rootless water, trivial and could be reborn from drops of blood,

Now his physical body was almost merging with the Divine Soul.

Originally, Xu Zimei thought, having achieved utilization of Cosmic Force and leveraging the Universal Book, after condensing Cosmic Force within,

A common method would scarcely propel him forward.

He didn't expect merely awakening genes in his palm would cause such a surge in his strength.

At this moment, Xu Zimei followed the gene's sensing.

Suddenly, he seemed to perceive something.

Turning his gaze, he focused on a spot in the void.

The void was at least a hundred miles away from here.

But with just a glance, Xu Zimei found something in the void related to the Deceit Domain elder before him.

Probably where the opponent's physical body was.

This discovery made Xu Zimei very curious.

He took a step forward, not bothering with the elder before him, heading toward the opponent's physical body.

With just this step, the elder was struck with soul-scattering shock.

He shouted, "Where are you going?"

He exerted his strength fully, trying to stop Xu Zimei.

But all efforts were in vain.

Xu Zimei knew killing his Divine Soul countless times was meaningless.

Thus, he didn't waste time on him.

Watching Xu Zimei get closer to his hidden physical body location,

The elder knew Xu Zimei must have discovered it.

His last shred of hope evaporated.

He urgently shouted, "Friend, let's talk, let's talk.".

"No matter what, we can discuss it."

Regarding the elder's submission, Xu Zimei paid no mind.

No matter what, first locate the opponent's physical body.

Feeling the void's distance was about right, Xu Zimei launched a punch.

The punch's force stormed like thunder and wind, its momentum terrifying.

Directly shattered the void.

Subsequently, a figure identical to the elder appeared before Xu Zimei.

This figure was indeed the elder's physical body.

The physical body was seated cross-legged, floating in the void, looked compassionate, and identical to the elder's Divine Soul.

However, judging by its expression and features, it seemed entirely different from a person.

As if one was a benevolent person of great joy and sorrow,

And the other was a heinous villain.

Two different temperaments manifesting in the physical body and the Divine Soul.
