Chapter 1150: 811 Revival of Turtle Spirit Saint Mother_2

Thus, the cycle of reincarnation disintegrated, and Jiang Chen awoke from his state transcending the river of time and space.

Then, the awakened Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head, looking behind himself. There was nothing behind him, but Jiang Chen was not looking at the present, but at his former self.

Looking back at the past, Jiang Chen’s gaze suddenly deepened, and the myriad events of the past whisked by before his eyes, like flowers glimpsed from horseback.

Among his three lives, the past was constant and easiest to grasp—a look back was all it took to see it.

The present, however, was changing incessantly, elusive, demanding considerable energy to capture.

As for the future, it was far too nebulous, filled with endless variables. Every choice made now could spawn innumerable futures, rendering the future almost impossible to fathom, to try to grasp one’s own future was unimaginably hard.

Therefore, in the realm of the three lives, the past life was the easiest to sever, the present life required a certain amount of energy to be severed, and the future life, it really depended on fate.

Jiang Chen, now reflecting on the past, saw traces of his past life and faintly grasped its pulse. With just a bit more time, he would be able to sever his past life fully.

This was the enlightenment he had received while immersed in the state of transcending the river of time and space, giving him new insight into the past, present, and future, and into time and space.

Time and space coexist, the operation of space gives rise to the concept of time, and the emergence of time lends more variation to space. Together, they create the majestic scenes painted across the tapestry of existence.

"How profound, the essence of cultivation is to explore the nature of the universe and then become as magnificent as the universe itself," Jiang Chen mused.

Regaining his composure, Jiang Chen’s mind remained unsettled for a long time, feeling the stronger he became, the more he sensed his own insignificance.

Previously, he had not felt it while gazing at the river of time and space, but now, truly attempting to step out of it, he deeply realized its vastness. Compared to this river, he was truly minuscule, insignificant, and not worth mentioning.

But the thought that the essence of cultivation was to become as grand as this river of time and space, or even grander, caused Jiang Chen’s heart to tremble uncontrollably. It was truly thrilling and desirable.

And this was precisely the charm of cultivation.

"Has it only been such a short while?"

After gradually calming down, Jiang Chen realized that he thought this period of seclusion had lasted a long while, but it had actually been just a few breaths since he began his enlightenment.

"There’s still time, good!"

Nodding, Jiang Chen stepped away from the spot and headed toward the location of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish. He had another task to perform, which was to use the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish to mend a person’s shattered True Spirit.

Beings above the Innate Dao Sovereign, even if they fall and their True Spirits shatter into countless fragments, do not perish.

Even without interference, as time passes, those shattered True Spirit fragments will automatically reassemble and revive.

However, for beings below the Innate Dao Sovereign, if someone shatters their True Spirit, they are practically dead beyond redemption, with no possibility of reincarnation. Theoretically, there is no chance of revival.

But the essence of cultivation is to turn the impossible into possible, making nothing in this world absolute.

For beings below the Innate Dao Sovereign, revival after True Spirit fragmentation is indeed difficult, but not impossible, though the cost might be unimaginably high.

If the True Spirit is shattered recently, just the intervention of an Innate Dao Sovereign is enough to reassemble the shattered True Spirit without much expense, bringing the person back to life.

Even if the person has been dead for a long time, as long as all the True Spirit fragments are still there, reviving them isn’t too troublesome.

But this person had been dead for a long time, and most of the True Spirit fragments had disappeared, leaving behind only a tiny piece, or perhaps completely vanished.

To resurrect this person, the difficulty is even greater than creating a living being out of thin air. Even for the Great Divine Transcendents, attempting such an act would be a mammoth task that taxed their abilities significantly.

The most direct method of resurrection involves pulling the individual from the River of Time and Space, retrieving them from the timespace of their demise and bringing them into the current timespace.

This would typically be a trivial task for a Great Divine Transcendent, but due to the blockade imposed by Pangu Great God, this seemingly simple act had become an unrealistic endeavor.

The past is fixed, and not even Saints can alter it.

Thus, when the simplest method is not viable, the only alternative is a forcible summoning of the fallen individual’s Spirit Fragment from the universe, manifesting their True Spirit once again.

This is tantamount to defying Heaven and Earth, and the difficulty is unimaginable; one misstep could provoke divine retribution. Therefore, it is rare to see Great Divine Transcendents in the Chaos World attempt to revive someone.

What Jiang Chen was now trying to do was to resurrect a person who had fallen long ago and whose True Spirit had completely vanished. That person was the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother, his senior sister and the direct disciple of Leader Tongtian.

As the direct disciple of a Saint, the future of the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother should have been incredibly bright.

Regrettably, during the Enshrinement Calamity, she met her doom. First, she was immobilized by Saint Zhunti, and then, without any ability to resist, she was devoured by Mosquito Daoist, who drained all her flesh and blood, leading to her demise.

All of the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother was consumed by Mosquito Daoist, leaving nothing behind. Under such circumstances, even an Upper Qing Saint intervening personally would not be able to revive her.

From this perspective, her death was certain. However, the situation changed with Jiang Chen. In order to obtain the three-petal Merit lotus consumed by Mosquito Daoist, Jiang Chen decided to eliminate Mosquito Daoist.

Yet, with many years having passed since Mosquito Daoist had devoured the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother, even killing him would not retrieve her True Spirit.

This was indeed the case previously, but with Jiang Chen’s understanding of The Way of Reincarnation, that no longer applied.

All living beings are caught in the cycle of reincarnation, unable to escape its perpetual cycle. This meant that anyone could be manifested again through the Power of Reincarnation.

Jiang Chen had mastered this Power of Reincarnation, thus acquiring this ability.

Of course, his command of the Power of Reincarnation was still too weak to fully manifest the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother’s True Spirit, but to bring forth just a Fragment of her True Spirit was within his capabilities.

And that was enough!

With just one Fragment of True Spirit, Jiang Chen could resurrect someone.

Of course, the method he would use was different from the mainstream methods. Though those methods were quick, they came with a heavy price, attracting divine punishment, which Jiang Chen could not afford. So, he travelled to the vicinity of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Dish, ranked as the most precious artefact in the Prehistoric World, not only functions to maintain the cycle of reincarnation. Its greatest ability is to destroy everything and create everything.

To destroy everything means turning all to nothingness, which was not what Jiang Chen needed. He needed the creating power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish.

Able to create all things, it naturally could repair all things. It could be said, the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish was the strongest resurrection tool in Prehistoric World, that even if the True Spirit was completely shattered, as long as a trace of essence remained, it could be resurrected within the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish.

No matter how severe the damage, under the cycle of reincarnation, it could be repaired, the shattered True Spirit would be restored in the cycle. The lingering essence would grow stronger in the cycle, thereby manifesting the essence’s owner once more.

Now, Jiang Chen was about to use the power of reincarnation to repair the shattered True Spirit of Turtle Spirit Saint Mother and then resurrect her.

This process was extraordinarily simple and cost nothing; all he had to do was place the Fragment of the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother’s True Spirit into the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish and then patiently wait.

Of course, this waiting could be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions of years—it wasn’t impossible.

In any case, it was bound to be a long wait.
