However... this is somewhat eerie!
"Generally speaking, a person should die first in the physical sense, with breathing stopping and the heart ceasing to beat... then the life force starts to dissipate." Chen Yan shook his head and said, "But she... her physical body hasn't died yet, and her life force has already dissipated."
Chu Keqing raised an eyebrow: "Living dead?"
Chen Yan thought for a moment: "Not exactly, rather... her Spiritual Sense is almost gone, to put it simply, her soul is nearly extinguished."
"Soul? Like a ghost?" Chu Keqing frowned, also feeling something was amiss.
"A person's life force isn't tied to the physical body, but to the Spiritual Sense, which is commonly referred to as the soul." Chen Yan shook his head in response. "When the soul perishes, even if the physical body remains, the person is considered dead by the Heavenly Dao. But... in the case of Luo Meifang, the order is reversed."
