The Law Initiate was the last tier of cultivation in the mortal world. The old man before him was such a powerhouse.
And he was alive. Rhys arched his brows.
'To think that I would see a living man in this group of dead people, how interesting,' Rhys thought.
The shock of seeing a Tier 8 cultivation level was immense, but the fact that this man was alive, unlike the other Wanderers, was even more surprising.
'But how did his cultivation fall from Tier 8 all the way down to Tier 4?' He was very interested to know the reason for this.
[The entity is classified as alive because its soul is still active,] the System explained in his mind.
[However, he has nothing that a living being is supposed to have. His physical body has almost completely disappeared. He is just a soul living under a shell of skin and bone.]
'So he is a living corpse?'
[That is an accurate, if crude, description.]
'What could cause something like that?' Rhys wondered.
