Chapter 799: Chapter 670: Resurrection? [Seeking Subscription, Seeking Monthly Ticket]

The underground of the Duobao World was even more eerie than the legendary Hell itself.

Initially, Yao Wenxuan was terrified, but he felt slightly relieved after Old Ghost Tong explained to him that what he saw was merely the Fields of Flesh.

He still felt a sense of horror, but at least it wasn’t as bad as he had imagined.

However, when they arrived at the core area and saw a bizarre statue sporting a sinister grin, Yao Wenxuan’s face turned rigid once again.

"This guy must be insane! He dared to create such a Mad God in his own image. How is he not mad yet?"

"Or is it that he is already mad?"

"Damn it, no wonder I always feel uneasy whenever I have contact with him!"

"We should better run away. Having too much contact with this creepy thing, even the Three Lives Stone incorporated within you might not withstand it. After all, some methods are weirder than death itself!"

"..."

In his mind, Old Ghost Tong was feeling somewhat on edge.

Yao Wenxuan, too, gazed at the menacingly grinning sculpture with a rigid countenance and felt a chill run down his spine.

Wang Zijia, who was leading the way ahead, seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and looked at Yao Wenxuan, saying, "Don’t worry, this is just a random arrangement; it’s nothing major."

"Snap!"

"Uh..." Yao Wenxuan was about to respond with a faint smile, when he saw the eerie, blood-colored statue turn its head towards him and reveal a malicious smile.

In an instant, his hairs stood on end, and his spiritual senses exploded, causing Old Ghost Tong to feel uneasy as well.

His mana fluctuated uncontrollably, seemingly ready to fight at any moment.

Nevertheless, Wang Zijia merely glanced at the eerie statue with a slightly furrowed brow and lifted his hand in its direction.

A large cluster of mysterious fog was extracted by Wang Zijia.

"Value +34.16 million!"

With Wang Zijia’s action, the eerie statue shrunk back to its normal size almost instantly.

The already edgy Yao Wenxuan and Old Ghost Tong watched as Wang Zijia swallowed a large amount of the mysterious fog as if it was some kind of tonic. They saw no improvement in his demeanor; in fact, their minds shook violently.

"This...this...he is absolutely a super old monster. Devouring this strange aura...I don’t even know what kind of bizarre thing he is. If we continue having contact with him like this, we will definitely end up in trouble sooner or later."

In his mind, Old Ghost Tong stuttered out these words.

Yao Wenxuan remained silent. He also felt that this Immortal Venerate might not be as upright and normal as he initially thought!

"Let’s go, we’re almost there, it’s just next door," Wang Zijia said with a smile, having swallowed the strange fog by then.

Despite exhibiting a clean, radiant smile, Yao Wenxuan thought it looked somewhat eerie at the moment.

...

They silently followed Wang Zijia to the room next door, which was a massive hall. All around, there were countless runes made up of blood-colored crystals.

The entire hall, spanning several miles in circumference, was packed with bloody runes, not only on the floors but also on the splandour roof of the Dome Hall above them.

Right in the center of all these runes stood a crimson coffin, seemingly made out of bloody runes.

The normal-sized, two-meter-long coffin looked somewhat solitary and insignificant when compared to the vast hall.

Upon seeing the peculiar coffin, Wang Zijia wore a faint expression of sorrow. Leading Yao Wenxuan to the front of the coffin, he carefully opened it.

Contrary to Yao Wenxuan’s expectation, the coffin was void of any mutilated corpse, slumbering remnant soul, or bizarrely shifting flesh and blood.

The coffin was completely empty, except for a black round bead the size of a silkworm chrysalis.

Wang Zijia made a beckoning motion towards the rounded bead, grabbing it in his hand. He turned to Yao Wenxuan and asked, "Can this be resurrected?"

Yao Wenxuan: "???!!!"

If his senses weren’t mistaken, there wasn’t even a residual soul in that rounded bead.

There was only a trace of soul power, and perhaps a sliver of spirit and flesh peeling off from a living being.

This can be regarded as the bare minimum. You want me to resurrect it?

May as well ask me to create a new person for you!!!

Indeed, these were the things that Wang Zijia had torn off piece by piece from Yun Lai when he was a child during their time in the Taiching Palace.

Back then, both of their cultivation wasn’t too high, so they couldn’t tear the spirit away without affecting Yun Lai.

Therefore, it could indeed only be classified as a sliver of a person!

"Immortal Venerate, are you serious?" Yao Wenxuan looked bewilderedly at Wang Zijia, then at the rounded bead in Wang Zijia’s hand.

"Do you think I went to such lengths, building all this, and bringing you here, just to joke with you?" Wang Zijia countered.

Probably noticing that Wang Zijia’s mood wasn’t very good, Yao Wenxuan said earnestly,

"Immortal Venerate, I am merely a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator. To resurrect someone using what you have in your hand, even a Daluo Immortal could hardly succeed!"

"I didn’t say that I want you to completely resurrect this person. I only need you to...uh, make these things possess life characteristics and in a way, resurrect them. The rest, perfecting the body, reconstructing the soul, are minor issues for me."

Wang Zijia explained.

As long as it’s alive, after seeding the demon and retaining this meticulously peeled-off residue as a pill guide, Wang Zijia could rebuild Yun Lai!

Yao Wenxuan: "..."

"Immortal Venerate, are you suggesting that I use these materials as a medium to awaken the consciousness of... this predecessor so that it can wake up on this bead carrier?" Yao Wenxuan asked cautiously.

Wang Zijia nodded and said, "All you need to do is transform my junior brother’s status into a living one, and everything else will not be a problem."

If it weren’t for Yun Lai’s white chess piece that exploded in the process of saving him, leaving a piece missing, Wang Zijia would not have had to seek Yao Wenxuan’s help.

Yao Wenxuan did not speak immediately.

"Old Ghost, this shouldn’t be difficult, right? Aren’t you hopping around even though your true spirit has shattered? Why don’t you try stimulating the Three Lives Tao Fruit?"

"Difficult? Understand perfectly well what he’s holding in his hand?"

"What he holds is some soul power extracted from a living person, possibly mixed with a little bit of other scent as well."

"And the original person has probably been dead for God knows how long. Waking up the ghost’s consciousness under these circumstances!!!"

"Even if you were to become an immortal and advance to the Profound Immortal stage, it would still be impossible. Only by stepping into the Saint Third Realm, there might be some hope for forcing its consciousness to wake up on this thing!"

Hearing this, Yao Wenxuan asked, "Is there no other way than just waking up the consciousness?"

"What I’ve been saying is about waking up the consciousness. As for restoring the whole soul and reshaping the physical body, that’s even more far-fetched."

"The Three Lives Tao I cultivate isn’t about creation! If you want me to mold human from clay or shape the body with lotus, find someone else, I don’t have that kind of ability!"

"...."

The two communicated silently for a while before Yao Wenxuan shook his head at Wang Zijia, saying, "I’m sorry, Immortal Venerate. I’m not capable of doing it..."

Upon hearing this, disappointment filled Wang Zijia’s face. "Can’t you do it either?"

Yao Wenxuan didn’t say anything but just shook his head.

They both fell silent.

...

Luckily, Wang Zijia was just trying his luck and knew very well how difficult this task was, so he didn’t insist.

Therefore, Wang Zijia resealed the object and left the basement.

"Predecessor, is there anything else you would like me to do?" Back on the ground, Yao Wenxuan asked.

Wang Zijia shook his head and said, "There isn’t anything else at the moment, but keep an eye on these spiritual objects for me!"

While speaking, Wang Zijia tossed out a set of well-prepared information.

"No problem!"

Yao Wenxuan took a look at the information handed over and nodded.

Wang Zijia stood on the mountain summit looking at Duobao World, deep in thought.

Seeing this, Yao Wenxuan didn’t disturb him and waited quietly.

...

In the Immortal Bone forbidden land, at the foot of the broken Immortal Bone Mountain.

Inside the small courtyard made of Chaotic Crystals, a space portal opened, and Wang Zijia was the first to step out.

Yao Wenxuan followed closely behind.

"Be careful, there’s something strange about this courtyard. Dammit, is this the Tao power?... Is it from some old fellow again?"

Just as he touched the ground, Old Ghost Tong’s surprised and uncertain voice surfaced in Yao Wenxuan’s mind.

At the same time, Yao Wenxuan, who had lived here for half a year, also felt the difference.

Although the surrounding environment was filled with chaotic power, that power only appeared to be on the surface now.

The previous chaotic power, which was mixed with a strange power from another world, made the chaotic mana highly erosive.

Ordinary monks living here for a long time were likely to be eroded by the chaos, causing various bodily deformations, much like the ’radiation’ of the cultivation world.

But now, although chaos still permeated everywhere, and even the chaotic power was much more active.

But Yao Wenxuan clearly felt that the chaos was missing some core element, making it loose to the point where it no longer had the strange erosive effect.

Even if he carefully combed through the small courtyard now, the idea of planting here that he had before was no longer a dream.

Subconsciously, he looked at the room where Wang Zijia had previously lived.

He clearly felt that there was something terrifying there, slowly absorbing the mysteries of this forbidden land.

Perhaps because of the short time, it had only absorbed a very small area, but it could be foreseen that if this continued, this forbidden land would turn into a treasure land.

And as his perception extended, he clearly found that even though that room had undergone layers of protective seals, it was still terrifying, giving him an overwhelming feeling.

Added to the reminder from Old Ghost Tong in his mind, Yao Wenxuan came out and was somewhat stunned while looking at that room.

After a while, he came to his senses and turned his head to see that Wang Zijia was watching him with a calm gaze.

"Immortal Venerate, what is that?" Yao Wenxuan paused, then asked straight out the doubt in his heart.

Wang Zijia glanced at the room, didn’t show any intention of giving Yao Wenxuan a tour, and shook his head, saying:

"I’m not quite sure either. I acquired it accidentally, probably a remnant left by some old guys, or it may be some kind of trap."

"I haven’t figured out the specifics yet. I was worried about any potential trouble if I carried it with me, so I temporarily left it here."
