Qingqiu Ran had not sensed it before, but now, after the exchanges between these people, she suddenly realized something. Could it be that the snake she encountered and this old man were, in essence, the same person? If others were to know of this, they would certainly find it hard to believe. However, Qingqiu Ran had once heard of a certain cultivation technique—one that allowed a demon to linger on for a period after death. It was not a rebirth, nor was it a soul-seizure, but rather a way to grant the creature a short span of time after their life had supposedly ended. It was not long, but it provided an opportunity for the demon to reflect on their life. This technique had existed only in legends; could it truly exist in reality?
"The possibility is quite high. After all, the snake and the old man give me the same feeling."
"Whether it is the snake or the old man, what they have done is essentially the same."
