Chapter 895
Resurrection from the Dead
Zhang Yunzhou looked at Su Mu with admiration.
He was shocked to discover that Su Mu's weapon-refining skills had improved again.
Su Mu's skill in weapon crafting was already so high that Zhang Yunzhou could only look up to him; now it had reached a level beyond Zhang Yunzhou's comprehension.
Zhang Yunzhou dared to say that the combined weapon-refining skills of all the people on the Eight Scenery Star might not be able to match Su Mu's.
There were several people dressed similarly to Zhang Yunzhou around him.
These people didn't have a fierce look on their faces; instead, they all carried a clear and pure air unique to craftsmen.
They stared wide-eyed at Su Mu's movements, their faces filled with admiration and respect.
They had heard Zhang Yunzhou say how strong Su Mu's weapon-refining skills were, but only now, seeing it with their own eyes, did they realize that Zhang Yunzhou was not exaggerating at all.
Far from being an exaggeration, they felt that Zhang Yunzhou lacked vision and simply didn't understand Su Mu's level of understanding.
They now see Su Mu personally dismantling the captured Huangtiandao warships and then integrating them all into the Da Xuan.
This not only completely repaired the Da Xuan, but also brought it infinitely close to a true celestial-level warship.
No one doubted that Su Mu possessed the ability to forge Heaven-Rank warships.
The reason why the Great Xuan is not yet a Heaven-rank warship is simply because there are not enough materials.
Make bricks without straw.
No matter how skilled Su Mu is in weapon crafting, he cannot create things out of thin air.
His previous creation of stars was based on the remaining essence of the Mars world, not something created out of thin air.
Although it is not yet a Celestial-rank warship, everyone knows that the true power of the Great Xuan is not much weaker than that of an ordinary Celestial-rank warship.
Simply by observing Su Mu repairing the Great Xuan, each of them felt they had benefited greatly, and some even felt that their weapon-refining skills could be improved.
“Yunzhou, you’re right. This Sect Master Su’s weapon-refining skills have indeed reached the level of seizing the creation of heaven and earth.”
An old man said with a sigh.
When the Great Xuan rescued them from Huang Tiandao, Zhang Yunzhou had told them about Su Mu's weapon-refining skills.
Even when they saw the Great Xuan, they still had some doubts.
They found it hard to believe that someone who had never been exposed to weapon crafting before could immediately master it after learning the truth about it from Zhang Yunzhou, and even surpass his master so quickly.
Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, all their doubts have vanished, leaving only boundless worship and admiration.
Those who don't understand weapon crafting will never understand just how terrifying Su Mu is.
Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and others only knew that Su Mu was powerful, but they did not know just how powerful Su Mu was.
Only the weapon refiners of the Eight Stars could understand that the Great Xuan, which Su Mu had crafted, was a culmination of weapon refining techniques and even pointed out the future direction of weapon refining for them.
"If we had met Sect Master Su sooner, our Eight Scenery Star wouldn't have ended up in this state."
Another old man said with a sigh, "If we had met Sect Master Su earlier, our weapon-refining skills would have been even better. In that case, we might have been able to forge a warship that could rival Huang Tiandao!"
While everyone was excited, a look of sadness involuntarily appeared on their faces.
“My fellow senior masters, it’s not too late now.”
Zhang Yunzhou waved his fist and said, "As long as we follow Sect Leader Su, sooner or later we will surely be able to restore the glory of the Eight Scenery Stars."
Didn't you see? Sect Master Su has mastered the power of primordial creation; he can reshape Mars.
If we can achieve great things in the future, he will surely help us rebuild the Eight Trigrams Star.
I believe Sect Leader Su will definitely do it.
"Zhang Yunzhou, you were right about this."
Huo Tu said casually, "Sect Leader Su's biggest flaw is that he is too sentimental and loyal."
He will take care of anyone he approves of as one of his own.
Look at that crazy guy, he only gave Su Mu a little bit of the essence of Mars back then, and now he has gained a Mars star.
You guys better do your best.
He patted Zhang Yunzhou on the shoulder, looking encouraging.
Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and the others rolled their eyes. Huo Tu, that bastard, was putting on an act too.
"Do you remember what Su Mu said when he reshaped Mars?"
With a thoughtful expression on his face, Qian Gong Liu suddenly spoke.
Su Mu is repairing the Great Xuan. They are now recuperating from their injuries and taking a rare break to chat.
"What did you say?"
Others casually remarked.
He said that one day, perhaps those who died in the world of Mars could come back to life.
He couldn't be joking. Could it be that he really possesses the ability to reverse time?
Qian Gong Liu pondered.
He always regarded Su Mu as his goal and fantasized about defeating Su Mu one day.
Therefore, he kept every word Su Mu said firmly in his heart.
Su Mu has likely broken through to the Primordial Beginning Realm, but he doesn't know what realm is beyond it. So he can only speculate about what that realm is like based on Su Mu's few words.
"It may not be able to reverse time; it might just be able to pull people back from the river of time."
Zhao Baiqi pondered for a moment before speaking.
Is there any difference?
Qian Gong Liu said, "Do you think that if Su Mu has this strength, then could the leader of Huang Tiandao also have this strength?"
If that's the case, then all those powerful figures from Huang Tiandao that we killed before were killed in vain.
"We kill him, and then he'll bring him back?"
Zhao Baiqi's expression froze; he had never actually thought of that before.
Everyone else was stunned as well.
Is this even possible?
If they really have this ability, then what's the point of what they're doing?
Doesn't this mean that the people of Huangtiandao can all be brought back to life?
"Immortal and indestructible..."
Zhao Baiqi said slowly.
Everyone looked at each other, stunned.
Could this be the secret to the immortality of the celestial realm?
If someone can be resurrected after dying, doesn't that mean they'll never truly die?
Isn't this immortality?
"If this is the secret of the Celestial Realm's immortality, then are we also considered immortal?"
Even if we die in battle, can Sect Master Su pull us back from the river of time?
After a long silence, a powerful expert at the Primordial Beginning Realm finally spoke slowly.
In that case, they wouldn't need to go to the celestial realm at all.
As long as you follow Su Mu, wherever Su Mu is, that place is the heavenly realm.
Moreover, they have nothing to fear about dying.
Next time I encounter Huang Tiandao, I'll just go and fight him to the death.
Anyway, you can be resurrected after you die.
What else is there to be afraid of?
"Zhang Yunzhou, you have a lot of contact with Huang Tiandao, so tell us, can we really tell if it's true or not?"
Qian Gong Liu looked at Zhang Yunzhou and the others and asked.
"Now that you mention it, I do recall something."
An elderly man with white hair and beard said that he was the sect leader of the Eight Scenery Star, named Li Ruofei.
"I did see a person from Huang Tiandao come back to life before."
At the time, I thought he had practiced some secret technique, but now it seems that perhaps it wasn't that he practiced a secret technique, but rather—”
Li Ruofei said with a serious expression.
The group exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise and delight.
Hearing that the enemy is so powerful is certainly a frightening thing.
The problem is, they also have a powerful individual on their side who has reached that level of strength.
This is not fear, but peace of mind.
The thought that if they died in battle, Su Mu could bring them back to life filled everyone with excitement.
They couldn't wait to find Huang Tiandao's men and try it out right now.
Since we won't die anyway, let's just go for it.
"You think too highly of me."
Just as everyone was excited, Su Mu had already appeared in front of them without them noticing.
"If you were really dead now, I wouldn't have the ability to bring you back to life."
Su Mu said calmly, "So, cherish your life and don't rush to your death."
"Can't be resurrected? Then were you just fooling the madman before?"
Qian Gong Liu frowned.
"Who can predict the future?"
Su Mu said calmly.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone seemed to understand.
Su Mu said he couldn't do it, but he didn't say he wouldn't be able to in the future.
Therefore, is it true that there is the ability to be resurrected above the Primordial Realm?
"Su Mu, what exactly is the realm above the Primordial Beginning Realm? What are the mysteries of this realm?"
Is the legend of the immortality of the celestial realm related to this realm?
"Qian Gong Liu asked curiously. Everyone else also looked at Su Mu."
They were also very curious about this issue.
However, they also knew that what realm was above the Primordial Realm was a secret, and even if Su Mu didn't say it, they wouldn't think too much about it.
Qian Gong Liu was simply curious.
I didn't really want the answer.
"Beyond the beginning, there is the primordial state."
Su Mu slowly said, "The beginning of all things is called the Primordial Beginning."
In fact, the Primordial Realm has already touched upon the origin of all things, which is why a microcosm has emerged within your bodies, and this is creation.
The Primordial Realm builds upon this foundation, exploring why there are all things and why there is a universe.
Su Mu made no attempt to hide anything and explained in detail what he had learned to everyone.
Although everyone was a powerful being at the Primordial Realm, this was the first time they had come into contact with something at a higher level. Everyone listened in a daze, only half understanding.
However, they still kept Su Mu's words firmly in mind. They might not understand them now, but they might be able to understand them in the future.
This is an opportunity that you could never hope to have.
At this moment, everyone understood that Su Mu had indeed broken through the Primordial Realm and reached a completely new realm, which Su Mu himself named Yuanshi.
If the Primordial Realm has already traced back to the origin of creation, then the Primordial Beginning Realm is to continue pushing forward on this basis and begin to explore what creation is.
Martial arts training is a process of tracing back to the source.
To ascend to immortality by going against the natural order, one must trace back to the very beginning. In this state, a person is no longer a person, and no one knows the true source of the power of this path.
Now, Su Mu has opened up a long new chapter in the path of martial arts cultivation.
They may never be able to embark on this path in their entire lives.
But knowing that this road exists is a good thing in any case.
"So, is it really possible that the legend of the immortality of the celestial realm was created by someone whose cultivation had reached a certain level?"
Li Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "Then Xu Xun, who died at your hands, might come back to life?"
As the sect leader of the Eight Scenery Stars, he was also very knowledgeable.
However, he had never met someone like Su Mu before.
If it were someone else, they would definitely keep the secret of the Primordial Realm to themselves, and would never easily tell others.
They had stayed in Huangtiandao for so long, yet they had never heard a single thing about the Primordial Realm.
But now, Su Mu didn't even hide it from them, and directly made this matter public.
What confidence, what spirit!
Xu Ruofei's current concern is: what if Huang Tiandao makes a comeback if Xu Xun is able to be resurrected?
He genuinely didn't want to see someone like Su Mu die at Huang Tiandao's hands.
"I can only say that it's possible."
Su Mu said slowly, "But it doesn't matter. If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time."
If he really comes back to life, I'll just kill him again.
The crowd was filled with excitement.
They were only worried that Huang Tiandao's men couldn't be killed, but they never thought of this.
Is this the difference between them and Su Mu?
Perhaps only someone with such a spirit could achieve the legendary feats that Su Mu had accomplished before.
Yes, if you can't kill it the first time, then just kill it again.
Kill them until they are terrified, kill them until they are filled with fear, kill them until they never dare to show their faces again. Isn't that enough?
"Now I understand."
Xu Ruofei said solemnly, "Sect Master Su, my Eight Scenery Star was saved by you and received your guidance. I have no way to repay your great kindness."
To be honest, when my Eight Trigrams Star fell, I hid a batch of treasures in preparation for the Eight Trigrams Star to rise again someday.
Now, please allow me to present these items to Sect Leader Su.
The Eight Stars' method of forging warships is unparalleled in the world. Even someone as powerful as Huang Tiandao had to rely on them to forge the fourth-tier warship, Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow.
Before falling into Huang Tiandao's hands, the reputation of the Eight Scenery Stars had already spread throughout the universe.
Countless people have sought out the Eight Trigrams Star to have them forge warships.
A force capable of forging warships would not be unknown in the universe.
As the Eight Trigrams Star forges warships for these forces, it naturally reaps many benefits in return.
The Eight Stars of the Past were once incredibly wealthy, their riches rivaling those of a nation.
They have countless good things in their possession.
When the Eight Trigrams Star fell, Li Ruofei, Zhang Yunzhou, and others became prisoners. They hated Huang Tiandao to the bone and naturally did not want their treasures to fall into Huang Tiandao's hands.
Therefore, at the last moment, Li Ruofei hid away the accumulated knowledge of the Eight Trigrams Star over the years.
For a master craftsman, achieving this is not difficult.
Even when he was rescued by the Great Xuan, Li Ruofei did not reveal this.
At that time, he was still observing.
Even though it was a life-saving favor, it didn't make him hand over those treasures.
But now, he is completely convinced of Su Mu's abilities.
The debt of gratitude for saving their lives, coupled with the fact that he allowed them to observe the art of warship forging without reservation, and the secrets of the Primordial Realm, meant that they owed Su Mu more and more, to the point that even an old man like him, who had lived for countless years, found it hard to bear.
Having lived to such an old age, he thought he had developed a thick skin.
But now, he felt his face burning with embarrassment.
Su Mu was able to tell them even the secrets of the Primordial Realm, yet he was still hiding things for such a small matter.
Compared to the other two, he seems rather petty.
Su Mu smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, then I, Su, would be ashamed to refuse."
He remained calm, showing little excitement.
"Speaking of which, I happen to need your help. I want to upgrade the Great Xuan to a Heavenly Rank warship. I wonder if Sect Leader Li would be willing to lead the disciples of the Eight Scenery Stars to assist me?"
Su Mu said with a smile.
"Above and below the Eight Stars, I am determined to give my life, even at the cost of ten thousand lives!"
Li Ruofei was taken aback, then said in a serious and deep voice.
Being able to assist a weapon refiner like Su Mu is something every weapon refiner in the world dreams of.
Previously, Zhang Yunzhou did not have the ability to forge Earth-rank warships, but after assisting Su Mu once, his weapon-forging skills improved by leaps and bounds, and now he is considered extremely outstanding among the disciples of the Eight Scenery Star.
Li Ruofei's weapon-refining skills were naturally far superior to Zhang Yunzhou's, but he had also benefited greatly from observing Su Mu repairing the Great Xuan.
If he could be Su Mu's assistant at close range, he could definitely reach a higher level.
"Let's begin then."
Su Mu nodded and said, "Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Rank warship is probably not far from us."
"While I'm not afraid of them, without a Heavenly-Rank warship, you might be in some danger."
…………
Just as Su Mu was leading the people of Bajing Star to begin upgrading the Great Xuan Ship.
Countless miles away from them, a warship of unknown size silently floated in the void.
This is Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Rank warship.
The owner of this warship is a powerful figure who ranks fifth among the leaders of Huang Tiandao.
The fifth leader sat in the cabin of the warship, his eyes gleaming with divine light.
Tang Jun knelt on the ground, not daring to even lift his head.
Rumble.
suddenly.
A low rumble of thunder.
The fifth leader's aura surged, but in an instant, as if he had exhausted his energy, his violent aura quickly plummeted.
In just a few breaths, he slumped back in his chair, his face completely drained of color.
boom!
Two feet appeared in front of Tang Jun. He subconsciously looked up and saw Xu Xun standing in front of him.
Xu Xun's face was also pale, with lingering fear on his face.
It took a full half hour before Xu Xun regained his sense of being alive.
"Thank you, Fifth Brother."
He immediately knelt down to thank the fifth leader.
The fifth leader waved his hand weakly and said, "You were too careless and died at the hands of an unknown nobody."
Although I went against the flow of time to bring you back, every time I do this, a portion of your life essence is consumed.
If this happens too often, not only me, but even my elder brother will lose your anchor point in the river of time, and then you'll truly die.
"I know."
Xu Xun said in a deep voice, "But Su Mu's strength is indeed extraordinary. I suspect that he has reached the level of Fifth Brother and you. If this person is not eliminated, he may ruin the affairs of my Huangtiandao."
"Really? Then I'll go myself."
The fifth leader said slowly, "You two lead the way, we'll go and meet this Su Mu." (End of Chapter)
