A Secret Inheritance?!

The soul is the essence of a cultivator's entire existence.

In this life, they can lose their arms, head, and even their lives and none of it will matter.

Provided that they have a suitable reincarnation technique at hand, they can come back to life in as many as 1000 years or as little as a day-with all of their memories intact to boot.

Previously, Taira had put an undeniable strain on his soul after using a technique far above his current wheelhouse.

By bathing in the waters of his home, he was able to lessen the strain on his body and mitigate the pain he felt, but it was far from a true repair.

Useage of immortal harvesting, a combat art that tampers with the soul, even though it should have aided him, ended up causing him a severe backlash.

After cutting off the head of the qilin with Vaal, Taira quickly lost consciousness.
