Chapter 380 – The Fool and the Snake
The Soul Qi of 8th-stage cultivators came from their soul dantian and soul physique, which was superior to elemental Qi and Life Essence.
A Soul Physique was a combination of condensed Essence energy, Elemental Qi, willpower, consciousness, nascent soul, and the daos of a cultivator. By merging everything they had obtained from the previous seven stages, they reached a semi-immortal state, and they no longer had physical weaknesses like mortals.
They would no longer die from diseases, physical injuries, or accidents. Instead, the only way to kill them was to destroy their soul dantian, where the soul core of the cultivator was usually hidden.
