"Separate!" Hua Tuo and the other two chorused, their hands forming intricate seals as the laws of the dical Dao surged, separating the soul from the remains of Chu Renjie, the Saint of Pills. They also constructed a special space to isolate any extraneous power.
This was no easy task!
For thousands of years, Chu Renjie’s soul and body had been tightly bound. Coupled with his powerful cultivation, they had ford an integrated whole, exceedingly difficult to separate.
After separating the soul and remains, the three of them were panting heavily from exhaustion.
After a brief rest, they continued the treatnt.
"Alchemical fire refines the soul, silver needles eradicate evil!" Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao shouted in unison, their expressions slightly grave. They simultaneously applied their dical skills, infusing their boundless dical Dao into the soul and remains of Chu Renjie.
BOOM!
Zhang Zhongjing waved his hand, summoning a green fla imbued with endless vitality, which began to nurture Chu Renjie’s remnant soul.
The indistinct, phantom-like soul gradually began to solidify.
Sun Simiao opened his dicine box, took out a row of silver needles, and pierced them into Chu Renjie’s desiccated skeletal remains. His speed was so swift that it left a trail of afterimages in the void.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Renjie’s remains were studded with thousands of silver needles.
"Purge the evil!" Sun Simiao shouted, and all the silver needles began to glow with a vibrant green light—pure and unceasing.
Gradually, the silver needles began to turn black, emitting a grey-black gas.
Hua Tuo, anwhile, busied himself preparing herbal dicine, adding various dicinal herbs into the cauldron. Heated over alchemical fire, it exuded billowing steam that filled the air.
Feng Conglong took a sniff and was imdiately struck by an overwhelming bitterness; Such a bitter scent! his very soul seed to convulse.
However, once he grew accustod to the scent, he found his body brimming with vitality. He felt several years younger, and even his depleted Qi and blood, stemming from past battles with enemies, showed signs of recovery.
This discovery left him utterly shocked!
It should be noted that his depleted Qi and blood were suppressed by the Power of Laws, forming a chronic condition that even Heaven-level elixirs were unable to cure.
Now, rely slling a whiff of the dicinal fragrance showed signs of recovery. What if he drank the herbal concoction prepared by Hua Tuo? Could it be a complete cure?
Thinking of this, Feng Conglong beca extrely excited. If his body recovered, he would have the confidence to break through to the Supre Emperor Realm during the next cosmic creation, and even catch a glimpse of the secrets of the Immortal Realm!
Standing alone in a corner, Soul Annihilation slled the fragrance of the dicine, his eyes glowing. The power of the Five Elents constructs the source of life? So that’s how the power of the Five Elents can be used... Such a magical thod... The Rhys of his Dao surged within him, palpably solidifying and leading to a significant breakthrough.
The rest of the martial artists, although they did not have a deep understanding, could sense the extraordinary dicinal fragrance. They all breathed deeply, their eyes fixed on Hua Tuo.
Under their gaze, Hua Tuo remained unconcerned. He sat cross-legged beside the cauldron, continuing to prepare the herbal dicine. His temperant was refined, and every gesture exuded the aura of a grandmaster.
An hour later, Hua Tuo stood up and poured the blackened herbal soup into a bowl. A potent power of the Five Elents emanated, creating special Rhys in Dao.
The seemingly ordinary bowl of soup contained the mysteries of the universe and even held the power to bring the dead back to life.
Carrying the dicinal soup, Hua Tuo walked to the remains of the Saint of Pills. Thanks to Sun Simiao’s silver needle technique to expel evil, the corpse Qi and death Qi, accumulated over more than sixty million years, were almost completely dissipated.
Nonetheless, it still looked like a desiccated corpse.
Whether we can revive him depends on this attempt; otherwise, we will have to find another corpse! Hua Tuo murmured, splashing the dicinal soup onto Chu Renjie’s remains.
An odd phenonon occurred: the mont the dicinal soup fell onto the remains, it was absorbed completely. Not a drop was wasted, nor did any splash about.
Upon absorbing the dicinal soup, Chu Renjie’s desiccated remains beca plump and began to emit a strong vitality. Except for his eyes being tightly shut, he looked no different from a normal person.
"Success!" Seeing the ’vibrant’ remains, Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao showed a hint of a smile, then turned to look at Zhang Zhongjing—or, to be precise, at the soul in his hand.
After an hour’s worth of nding, Chu Renjie’s soul had beco very solid, with a recognizable facial structure.
"We can start the final step now!" Zhang Zhongjing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, retracted the alchemical fire, and said exhaustedly.
"Soul rge with body, defy the heavens and seize life!" Hua Tuo waved his hand, shooting out a green beam of light that lifted Chu Renjie’s spirit soul.
"Rise!" Sun Simiao waved his hand. Chu Renjie’s remains began to move and were infused with a powerful life force to ward off any backlash from the death Qi.
The faces of the three Imperial Physicians were extrely solemn.
This was the last step. If it failed, Chu Renjie’s soul and remains would completely collapse, disintegrating into nothingness and vanishing completely from this world.
It must succeed! Chu Changfei couldn’t help clenching his fists, praying fervently.
All those present instinctively held their breath, preparing to witness the arrival of a miracle. If the resurrection thod succeeded, their chances of survival would greatly increase.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Renjie’s soul and body slowly approached each other and began to rge.
RUMBLE~
The Spiritual Energy in the Void beca violent, all of it surging towards Chu Renjie, forming a gigantic vortex of Spiritual Energy.
Outside the Imperial dical Academy, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and lightning flashed, forming a Heavenly Tribulation force containing terrifying destructive power, capable of annihilating anything and everything.
Defying the heavens indeed! Soul Annihilation raised his head, looking past all obstructions to the Heavenly Tribulation beyond the skies.
BOOM!
A muffled sound, and the Heavenly Tribulation fell, striking Chu Renjie’s body.
The huge shockwave sent Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, and Zhang Zhongjing flying, tumbling dozens of ters away. Luckily, they only experienced a minor impact and were not injured.
"Imperial Physicians, how’s... how’s my ancestor?" Chu Changfei hurriedly inquired, his voice trembling, extrely tense.
The people around pricked up their ears, full of expectation.
"As long as the Saint of Pills endures the Heavenly Tribulation, he will be revived!" Hua Tuo replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician!" Chu Changfei was initially delighted upon hearing this. However, watching the raging Heavenly Tribulation, he grew nervous again. Could his ancestor successfully endure the tribulation?
"Pavilion Master, rest assured. The Saint of Pills’ physical body is strong; he can withstand the nine Heavenly Tribulations!" Seeing Chu Changfei’s worry, Hua Tuo reassured him with a smile. He was very familiar with Chu Renjie’s condition.
The heaven-defying tribulation consisted of nine bolts!
Survive, and you live!
Fail, and you die!
On the Soul-Protecting Spirit Jade, Chu Renjie, struck by the Heavenly Tribulation, was charred black. His skin split open, and crimson blood flowed out, creating a tragic sight. However, the vitality radiating from him grew increasingly stronger.
An hour later, all nine Heavenly Tribulations had fallen!
BOOM!
A powerful aura filled the space conjured by the Soul-Protecting Celestial Jade. Countless Powers of Laws hovered, the Rhys in Dao unparalleled, expressing an invincible deanor.
"This Saint... has been resurrected..."
