Chapter 592
Resurrecting Wuxin [3]
Time seemed to lose its meaning within the sealed room.
one day.
January.
One year.
ten years.
……
A full hundred years have passed quietly.
For a century, Su Chen never stepped out of the secret chamber. His entire mind was devoted to this "resurrection" ritual that defied fate.
Finally, on a certain day in the hundredth century.
The silver soul floating above the jade platform shone with an unprecedented brilliance!
It was no longer illusory, but became incredibly solid, and its form slowly condensed into the appearance of a handsome young man with clear eyes.
It is indeed the Heartless Immortal!
His eyes were still closed, but his body was once again radiating a vibrant life force unique to him!
"Success..."
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure before him, and feeling the reconnected threads of cause and effect, Su Chen's unchanging Dao heart, which had remained unchanged for millennia, involuntarily experienced a violent fluctuation at this moment.
He really did it.
He truly pulled a friend who should have vanished completely from the world back from the end of reincarnation!
However, Su Chen knew that this was not the end.
This is merely a reshaping of the immortal soul.
The next step was even more difficult—
Reshape the physical body, rebuild the foundation of the Dao!
Su Chen did not hesitate; he waved his sleeve!
Over the years, countless rare and precious materials he had collected, enough to make any Golden Immortal envious, filled the entire secret chamber like small mountains!
There is a "Chaotic Green Lotus" from the Primordial Chaos Abyss!
It contains "Nine Yang Divine Iron" extracted from the core of a dead star!
Furthermore, he extracted from the blue planetary phantom formed by the "Void Sentinel" that he had refined to the extreme the "Origin of Reality"!
"Use my Taiyi as the furnace, all things as the material, and creation as the fire!"
Su Chen roared, and the illusory image of "Taiyi Daozun" behind him suddenly appeared!
He actually used his own Great Dao as a furnace, throwing countless rare and precious materials into it, and with the most primordial "Flame of Creation," he began to refine a brand new, perfect... Dao body for the Heartless Immortal!
This process is far more dangerous and difficult than reshaping the immortal soul!
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Chen's forehead as his Celestial Immortal Power was rapidly being depleted!
But his eyes were incredibly firm!
Another century has passed in the blink of an eye.
As the last wisp of medicinal fragrance completely merged into the "furnace" enveloped in nine-colored light within the secret chamber.
boom--!!!!!!
A phoenix cry, seemingly capable of shaking the heavens, soared into the sky from the furnace!
The light dissipated.
A young body, flawless and without any imperfections, with skin like jade, black hair like a waterfall, and mysterious Dao patterns flowing across its surface, floated quietly in mid-air.
The Dao body has been formed!
A tired smile appeared on Su Chen's face.
He slowly infused the already repaired silver immortal soul into the new Dao body.
Soul and body united!
The moment when the immortal soul of the Heartless Immortal completely merged with the perfect Dao body tailor-made for him!
An incredibly powerful and terrifying aura erupted from his body!
His eyes, which had been closed for hundreds of years, suddenly opened at this moment!
What a pair of eyes those are!
At first, there was bewilderment and confusion, like someone who had just woken up from a long dream.
Then came reminiscence and enlightenment; countless memories flooded his mind like a tide.
In the end, all the emotions were transformed into the deepest, indescribable excitement and... disbelief when seeing a long-lost friend again!
"Big... lord?"
Looking at the white-robed Daoist Master before him, whose aura was countless times more profound than it had been ten thousand years ago, Wuxin Xian tried, with a trembling voice, to utter the title he thought he would never be able to say again for all eternity.
"I……"
"Am I... already dead?"
“Yes, you died.” Su Chen looked at him, a long-lost, heartfelt smile on his face. “But I pulled you back from the cycle of reincarnation.”
"Welcome back, Wuxin."
"I originally thought you wouldn't come back, and I was planning to erect a tombstone for you in the Immortal Aperture..."
Su Chen spoke with a smile.
He is very happy.
It wasn't just that Wuxinxian was resurrected, but that the experiment was a success.
He truly broke the ironclad rule of life and death among immortals!
No mythical beasts were used.
Simply using one's own strength!
Now, perhaps he can even step into the river of time, to delve into the past, and to change the future.
"The world in the palm of my hand, the realm of mountains and seas, contains too many old friends."
"That's acceptable."
"I want to give them a bright future."
Su Chen murmured.
……
……
The resurrection of Wuxinxian was undoubtedly a momentous event for the entire Taiyi Palace.
When Jin Guang Gu Xian and the new generation of elders saw this legendary ancestor, who had bravely sacrificed himself to protect the Dao Lord, actually reappear alive before them.
Everyone was completely awestruck by Su Chen's unparalleled power to defy fate!
The resurrected Wuxin Xian's cultivation level surprised everyone!
His perfect Dao body, reshaped from countless rare and precious materials and Su Chen's original Dao power, possesses a terrifying potential that is simply unbelievable!
In the instant of his resurrection, he already possessed terrifying strength comparable to the peak of the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking!
Its speed was simply astonishing!
And Su Chen, after fulfilling his promise to Wuxinxian.
He did not choose to continue his seclusion.
He knew that his time was running out.
The "devourer" hidden behind the "door" will not give up easily after its previous failed attempt.
The next one will be far more terrifying than ever before!
He must take the initiative!
On this day, he summoned the Golden Light Immortal and the Heartless Immortal to the Hall of Longevity.
"I need to leave again for a while," Su Chen said bluntly.
"My lord, where are you going?" Wuxinxian asked immediately, his eyes filled with worry. "To a place that is very far away and very dangerous."
Su Chen's gaze became incredibly profound. He slowly raised his hand, and a vast star map composed of endless starlight slowly unfolded in his palm.
"Based on the guidance of the 'Root of the First Tree' and the ancient information I obtained from that 'Fire Seed' crystal."
“I have found the possible location of the next ‘World Tree’ remains.”
His finger touched the star map, an unknown star field located outside the vast sea of stars, shrouded in endless chaos and spacetime storms, and never recorded in any ancient texts!
"That was an ancient battlefield known as the 'Lost Kingdom of Gods'."
"Legend has it that it is the last relic of a 'primordial god era' that is even more distant than the ancient immortal era."
"The Lost Kingdom?"
Golden Light Immortal and Heartless Immortal exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
They had never heard of this name before.
"That is a world that has long been 'forgotten' by the universe itself."
Su Chen's voice became solemn, "The laws there are completely different from those in our vast star sea. In fact, because of the earliest arrival and erosion by the 'devourers,' the reality there has long since become distorted and unstable."
"My lord, that place is too dangerous!" Wuxinxian said immediately. "Please allow me to go with you!"
He didn't want to be like he was ten thousand years ago, forced to watch helplessly as Su Chen faced all the dangers alone.
However, Su Chen slowly shook his head.
"No, your current task is to stay in Taiyi Palace."
He looked at Wuxinxian and said solemnly, "Your Dao body, though possessing boundless potential, still has a shallow foundation. You need time to fully master this power. Moreover..."
Su Chen's gaze swept across the entire Taiyi Immortal City.
"After I leave, Taiyi Palace needs a true strongman to take charge."
"Although Jin Guang is loyal, his cultivation is ultimately limited. As for you, Wu Xin, your current strength is enough to deal with most petty villains."
"More importantly,"
Su Chen flicked his finger, and a jade slip shimmering with nine-colored light flew to Wuxin Xian's front. "In this, I have recorded my understanding of the 'Taiyi Dao' and... a key to the true 'Third Realm'."
“Before I return, I hope that you can use it to forge a path that is uniquely your own.”
Upon hearing this, Wuxin Xian was utterly shocked!
He knew just how heavy the weight of this jade slip was!
This is the Dao Lord's trust in him, and even more so, his expectations for him!
"Yes, sir!" He stopped insisting and solemnly put away the jade slip. "I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Having arranged everything, Su Chen didn't delay any longer.
He tore through the void, took a step, and his figure disappeared from Taiyi Immortal City.
Only Wuxinxian remained, tightly gripping the jade slip in his hand, gazing at the slowly closing spatial rift, his eyes filled with indomitable fighting spirit!
……
Traversing endless chaos and temporal turbulence, Su Chen followed the faint guidance from the "Root of the First Tree" and finally arrived at the legendary "Lost Divine Kingdom".
The instant he stepped out of the spatial passage.
Even with his current Dao heart, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at the strange sight before him!
Here, there is no sky, no earth, no stars.
There was only an eerie space, boundless and covered by countless twisted, dark purple "fungal carpets" that looked like rotting flesh!
On that "fungal carpet" grew countless indescribable "plants" with grotesque shapes, seemingly pieced together from countless skeletons and eyeballs.
The air was filled with a strange, sweet, yet nauseating fragrance.
The whole world seemed to be a huge, living, constantly writhing and multiplying... hotbed of flesh and blood!
And on this bed of flesh and blood, there roam some... equally indescribable and terrifying creatures!
Some of them resemble giant worms without skin, with their muscle tissue completely exposed.
Some resembled a combination of countless tentacles and wings, emitting a silent shriek in the air.
Some are even composed of clusters of constantly changing, pure "chaos" and "madness" energy!
These are the aberrations born after being completely distorted and transformed by the "Devourer's" original "Dao-tainted" power!
They no longer possess any characteristics of "life".
Yes, there is only the purest form of hatred... for all "order" and "reason"!
“What a wonderful ‘Lost Kingdom’.”
Su Chen hovered between this strange world, his expression solemn.
He could clearly sense that the laws of this world had completely collapsed.
Space is disordered here.
Time is chaotic here.
Even the boundary between "life" and "death" has become incredibly blurred.
He saw that after one mutant devoured another mutant, its body began to melt and reorganize, transforming into the appearance of the one it had devoured.
This is a truly chaotic and mad god's realm!
"Would the remains of the World Tree be in a place like this?"
A hint of doubt arose in Su Chen's heart.
However, the sensation emanating from the "root of the first tree" pointed with unparalleled clarity to the very core of this strange world!
Without further hesitation, he concealed all his aura and, like a ghost, cautiously made his way towards the core area.
The deeper you go, the more terrifying the surrounding scenery becomes.
He saw a colossal mountain, tens of thousands of feet high, made up of the heads of countless living beings!
He saw a pitch-black river formed from the viscous fluids of an unknown organism, emitting an endless stench!
He even saw a... hundreds of thousands of feet tall, seemingly pieced together from the remains of an entire star and countless pieces of flesh and blood, a sleeping... Old One!
It was just breathing quietly, yet it stirred the laws of the entire world, causing them to twist and wail in response!
The sheer aura of pure "chaos" and "madness" emanating from him made even Su Chen feel uneasy!
"What a scary guy!"
Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine. "His strength is probably no less than that of the Linglong Golden Immortal who fused with the Heavenly Dao Axis!"
He immediately held his breath, minimizing his presence, and carefully walked around the sleeping Great Old One.
Finally, after passing through a forest of countless twisted tentacles.
Su Chen arrived at the very core of this world.
It was a relatively "open" area.
In the center of this area, an indescribably vast and bottomless black abyss floats silently.
It's as if this warm bed of flesh and blood is a wound that can never heal.
And that powerful resonance from the "root of the first tree" came from the very bottom of this abyss!
Su Chen did not go down immediately.
He could sense from that abyss an aura of absolute "death" and "end" that was a hundred times more terrifying than that sleeping "Old One"!
It was as if the bottom of that abyss was not connected to the other side of the world.
Rather, it is... the endless, void-filled... true form of the "devourer"!
"It seems this will be a tough battle."
Su Chen took a deep breath; he no longer concealed his presence. (End of Chapter)
