Ghosts!
Fang Che had a look of sheer disbelief.
You just said there weren't any a moment ago.
And were all puffing up with anger about going after my instructor.
Now, look at you.
Suddenly, it's ghost this, ghost that.
"But you just said there weren't any…" Fang Che felt a bit aggrieved.
"Nonsense, can humans and demon beasts be the same?"
The old man said angrily, "Isn't this just nitpicking? Besides, it's not like there are many demon beasts either; you might not see one in hundreds of thousands of years."
"Uh."
The old man huffed and said, "Let me put it to you this way, humans are the foremost spiritual beings between heaven and earth, understand? Divine soul and physical body are integrated; in existence, there is wholeness, in death, there is nothingness. As for divine soul power, after the death of a highly skilled cultivator, there may briefly exist a divine body that can be seen by others, but it definitely won't last long."
