If you die, I will be able to inherit your cultivation.

The original goal of Zhou Ming's release of the world's power was to psychologically influence the prison warden, making him loyal to Chu Yuan.

But just as his power swept across a cell deep within the prison, a young figure came into his perception.

He stood quietly in front of the body of a prisoner who had just died, and placed his palm on the body.

This kind of scene is normal, and Zhou Ming hadn't paid any attention to it before.

But what happened next forced Zhou Ming to take it seriously.

The moment the young man's palm touched the corpse, the last remaining trace of life within the corpse was completely drained and flowed into the young man's body.

Not only that, even the prisoner's soul, which had just left his body after death, along with his true spirit, could not escape and was completely devoured by the other party.

After the devouring ended, the young man's expression remained unchanged, his face showing no sign of abnormality, as if the devouring of souls and life force had never happened.

He withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and stepped out of the cell, his movements natural and steady, without the slightest panic.

If Zhou Ming's power hadn't happened to sweep over this area and captured the entire process, he would never have been able to detect that there was such a person in the prison.

Zhou Ming, far away in the Ming Dynasty, sensed this scene and his expression turned extremely ugly.

Since his true spirit merged with the central hub of the Qiankun World, nothing that happens within the entire Qiankun World can escape his perception.

He can be aware of any unusual activity by any living being in the world immediately.

But the person before him was, within the very place of reincarnation he had built, wantonly devouring the souls and spirits of living beings.

He didn't sense it at all, and didn't even notice the other party's presence.

Zhou Ming couldn't understand what kind of methods this person had used to block out his senses for so long and hide right under his nose.

The situation was urgent, so Zhou Ming didn't delay.

With a swift movement, he flashed back into the stone cave.

After regaining his footing, Zhou Ming raised his hand and waved it. A powerful pulling force instantly fell on the other party, directly pulling the young man into the stone cave.

Kui Shun was pulled by a sudden force, and in an instant, the scene changed, and he found himself in an unfamiliar cave.

A look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he nervously began to look around at his surroundings.

Without wasting any words, Zhou Ming immediately activated the power of the world, following the other party's soul to probe into his mind and begin reading his past memories.

The memories unfolded in Zhou Ming's mind, and when he finished reading them all, he was so shaken that he almost stood up.

This person has actually lived for over 20,000 years, and he has lived for over 20,000 years in a mortal body.

His original name was Kui Shun, and in his previous life he was a prison guard in the Dali Temple of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After his death in his previous life, he transmigrated to a small world with very little spiritual energy.

Even after transmigrating, his identity remains that of a prison guard.

Having just transmigrated, Kui Shun originally thought he would live a mundane life like in his previous life.

He unexpectedly discovered that he possessed a special ability while moving the body of a dead prisoner.

He can absorb the remaining lifespan of corpses, transforming other people's lifespan into his own.

After discovering this ability, Kui Shun's mundane life as a prison guard began to change.

The desire for immortality gripped him tightly.

At first, he only dared to absorb the remaining lifespan of dead prisoners in jail.

As he took more and more drugs, he became bolder and bolder, no longer confined to prison.

Later, he went to the front lines of the battlefield and spent money to bribe a military officer to get a job transporting corpses on the battlefield.

The battle between the two armies resulted in countless deaths, which presented him with the best opportunity to extend his lifespan.

When the war ended, he left the military camp again and returned to the prison to continue working as a jailer.

As time flows by, tens of thousands of years have passed in a flash.

Kui Shun constantly changed his location and identity, traveling to countless places.

By consuming the lifespan of others, his own lifespan accumulated over time, eventually reaching hundreds of millions of years.

Over the long years, he also searched far and wide and obtained several cultivation techniques.

However, he was born without spiritual roots, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not step into the threshold of cultivation and could never formally begin his cultivation.

In desperation, he could only seek out some rudimentary qi and blood cultivation techniques to slowly refine his physical body, barely managing to gain a semblance of self-preservation in the mortal world.

More than 10,000 years ago, a great change occurred.

All living beings in his original, complete world were forcibly moved by an external force and thrown into another world.

Kui Shun was meticulous and knew very well that his abilities were too strange, and that once exposed, they would inevitably lead to his death.

Having just arrived in the new world, he dared not linger among the crowds and instead hid alone in the deep mountains and forests, living in seclusion there.

This hiding lasted for over a century.

A century later, he emerged from the mountains and forests, only to find that several countries had been established on this land.

Instead of choosing a new way to make a living and returning to his old profession, he went back to prison and became a jailer again.

He would do this job as a jailer for ten thousand years.

Over the course of millennia, he traversed multiple dynasties and endured countless prison sentences on this land.

Only recently did I arrive in the Kingdom of Beishuo and settle down in the Beishuo prison.

After reading through all of Wei Shun's memories, Zhou Ming broke out in a cold sweat.

This place was originally a place of reincarnation that he had personally arranged. He never expected that such a strange being would be secretly hiding here.

He himself was not afraid. Although Wei Shun was strange, it was almost impossible for him to do anything to him.

Once Kui Shun makes a move against him, the central hub of the Qiankun World will detect it immediately and take direct action to suppress him.

What truly terrified him were Su Mingyue and the others.

When Su Mingyue and the others were reincarnated, they did not have the protection of the world's central authority.

If they had encountered Kui Shun back then, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Zhou Ming continued to urge the power of the world, bypassing Wei Shun's soul and probing inwards, directly into the depths of Wei Shun's true spirit.

The results of the investigation were exactly as Zhou Ming had expected.

Within Wei Shun's true spirit, a small portion of the area has already been occupied by a black energy sphere.

Compared to the one-third of Zhou Ming's true spirit that was occupied by the black ball, the proportion occupied by Wei Shun was much smaller.

The energy contained within the black sphere inside Ke Kui Shun's body was of a quality no less than that carried by the black sphere within Zhou Ming's true spirit.

Upon confirming the situation, Zhou Ming mobilized the power of the world to stir up Wei Shun's true spirit.

With precise movements, he completely severed the small portion of his true spirit that had been corrupted by the black sphere and took it into his own hands.

The remaining untainted true spirits were sent directly into the Six Paths of Reincarnation by Zhou Ming's wave of his hand, allowing them to reincarnate normally.

Zhou Ming looked down at the piece of true spirit that had been cut out of his palm and contained a black sphere.

Transmit your thoughts to the central hub of the universe and absorb the black energy sphere sealed within this true spirit.

The black energy sphere was quickly absorbed by the world's central hub.

Holding the True Spirit, which no longer contained the black energy ball, Zhou Ming did not cause any damage.

Instead, he formed hand seals and directly isolated and sealed the true spirit.

Zhou Ming had concerns; he feared that the sudden disappearance of the true spirit that carried Kui Shun's golden finger would alarm the old man in the chaos.

The old man's strength was unfathomable, posing his greatest threat at this stage.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, any slight oversight could lead to an insurmountable crisis.

Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious with every move he made, leaving no openings that could be detected by the enemy.
