Chapter 1919: Chapter 1918: Xu Zii’s Resurrection
The morning light had just broken.
The Great Thousand Gorge basked in the world’s first ray of sunlight.
Light stread down continuously through the canyon walls.
Within the Heavenly Being clan,
so were cultivators, while others were re mortals.
ng Yuqing was one of the mortals in the Heavenly Being clan.
Their family of four lived there, and her younger brother had just been taken as a docunted disciple under the great master Blade Guest Xu last year.
Cultivating immortality is a very luxurious endeavor.
Without wealth and resources, it’s hard to beco powerful.
Moreover, the Great Thousand Gorge is far from the mundane world and lacks resources, making spirit stones the only shortcut for cultivation here.
Their mother fell ill when ng Yuqing was very young and has been bedridden since.
The father single-handedly supported the large family business, but last year, in his fatigue, he accidentally broke a leg while working.
The only pillar of the family also fell.
For a ti, the already turbulent family deteriorated further.
The brother’s cultivation resources, the mother’s illness, and the father’s inability to work…
It seed that overnight, all the burdens were placed on the young girl’s shoulders.
“Sister, I don’t want to cultivate anymore.
They need a butcher over at the east end, I can go help,” her sixteen-year-old brother ng Xiaoman said with concern, looking at his sister.
“I’ve grown up too, I can help the family a bit.”
“What are you saying,” ng Yuqing smiled as she looked at her brother.
“The family is counting on you to succeed in cultivation and lead us out of the Great Thousand Gorge.
This is our only way out.
You don’t need to worry about anything else, we’ve still got at ho.”
ng Xiaoman wanted to say sothing, but ng Yuqing interrupted him.
“Listen, you are the only hope for our family.”
ng Xiaoman nodded solemnly.
When dawn broke, ng Xiaoman went to cultivate.
ng Yuqing prepared als, took care of her parents, and then carried a basket to gather wild yams above the Great Thousand Gorge.
Wild yams were the only source of inco for their family of four now.
If the harvest was good, it would be enough to sustain all of them.
However, the mountain roads were rugged and steep, and a single misstep could an certain death.
Therefore, few in the Heavenly Being clan actually went to gather wild yams.
Moreover, Xiaoman’s cultivation required more and more resources now.
The ends were already barely eting.
Xiaoman was still just a docunted disciple, and if he couldn’t progress now, who knows when he would beco Blade Guest Xu’s direct disciple.
With all these thoughts in mind, ng Yuqing climbed the mountain and began searching for wild yams.
Suddenly, thunderbolt erupted in the firmant.
This was a bolt from the blue.
There was no wind or rain, it seed very strange.
ng Yuqing looked up, only to see a dense web of cracks appearing in the firmant.
She was so frightened that she stood motionless.
In a daze, she didn’t know what to do at first.
For a mortal, this apocalyptic scene was sothing ng Yuqing had never witnessed before.
Although there were cultivators in the Heavenly Being clan, most people’s cultivation was generally not high.
Just as she was at a loss, the cracks in the firmant fully expanded, and it seed that sothing fell from the giant chasm.
Imdiately after, the cracks closed, and everything vanished into thin air.
The sky returned to its bright, sunny state with not a cloud in sight.
“What was that just now?” ng Yuqing wondered aloud.
Because the thing fell so fast, her mortal eyes couldn’t see it clearly.
At this mont, she wanted to go ho, but she didn’t know what might be in the mountain.
In her heart, she speculated, could it be a treasure?
Thinking of her brother in need of resources, and her paralyzed parents, ng Yuqing gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble.
If it was a treasure, and she could exchange it for money, her family would be saved.
Then, she wouldn’t need to work so hard anymore.
With that thought in mind, ng Yuqing quickened her pace considerably.
……
Ever since Xu Zii was struck by the thunderbolt of the Heavenly Dao, he had indeed fallen into the cycle of life and death.
However, before that, he had received the inheritance of Ju Mang the Wood God, whose Life Seal could bring back the dead.
It’s not exactly a high-level technique, but it’s certainly very helpful.
Just like the strong ones who divide into Three Corpses.
As long as there’s a corpse present, resurrection is possible.
And the Life Seal functions in the sa way.
Xu Zii’s residual soul was imprinted within it, and would rise again with inexhaustible life force.
Only this Life Seal took a considerable amount of ti to gather, Xu Zii rely had one anyway.
And even if he were forcibly revived now, the injuries were too severe.
He is now in a coma.
The Tree of Life within him continues to release power, restoring Xu Zii’s divine soul and body.
……
“Is it a person?” ng Yuqing hesitated upon approaching Xu Zii.
She had thought it might be a treasure, but it turned out to be a human.
Though the Heavenly Being clan and the human race were similar, akin even to humans,
They were still two different races.
ng Yuqing cautiously approached Xu Zii.
Upon reaching him, she lightly nudged his body.
In a soft voice, she asked, “Wake up, are you alright?”
However, Xu Zii remained motionless.
Were it not for the breathing from his nose, ng Yuqing would have doubted whether he was already dead.
Just when she was at a loss, several figures suddenly appeared from the foot of the mountain, accompanied by loud shouts.
“Sister Yu, Sister Yu, where are you?”
Upon hearing the familiar voice, ng Yuqing promptly replied, “Brother Stone, I’m here.”
With the shouting, several figures quickly made their way to the scene.
Upon seeing them, it was clear these people cultivated immortality.
They, too, were attracted by the earlier anomaly.
Among them was an elderly man whose status seed the most prestigious.
He wore a Tang suit, his hair ticulously arranged in black and white.
“Greetings, Clan Leader,” said ng Yuqing, quickly greeting the elder upon seeing him.
“What just happened with the strange phenonon?” the elder asked.
“I do not know either, I followed the anomaly and found a person lying here,” ng Yuqing explained.
“No treasure?” the elder slightly frowned.
He gently touched ng Yuqing’s shoulder with his right hand.
Among those nearby, a burly youth wanted to speak but remained silent.
“Rest assured, won’t harm her,” the elder said, casting a light glance at the burly youth.
The young man gave a cheeky grin.
After confirming there was no hidden treasure on ng Yuqing, the elder slowly approached Xu Zii.
Spiritual energy appeared in his hands and finally fell upon Xu Zii.
After a while, he stood up with a frown.
“This person’s identity is unclear, and his injuries are too severe; he can’t be saved.”
“Find a place to dig a grave and bury him.
“This…” ng Yuqing felt a pang of compassion.
“After all, it’s a human life,” she said.
“What, you want to save him?” the elder replied lightly.
“His divine soul is shattered; even if he survives, he would be a fool.
Don’t forget your family’s situation.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
