Chapter 794: Chapter 757: Heaven and Earth Resurrected
After Xu Bai thoroughly understood the situation, his primary concern was not about suppressing the hot debate that has arisen.
Instead, his actual body, which is tens of thousands of miles away, started to look at his own [Real] panel.
The upper limit of his physiological age had not decreased.
However, Xu Bai did not think that Peng Qing’s words were false.
The Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign originally gained enlightennt in the midst of the White Mist.
As is well known, the “Elent Devouring White Fog” known as the White Mist can absorb the lifespan of cultivators.
...
Peng Qing suddenly died a violent death, and the horrifying condition before his death was almost identical to those cultivators who died in the white mist.
All this was not sothing that can be explained as a coincidence.
But in order to prevent the escalation of the situation, Xu Bai first, by ans of intimidation and allure, sealed the mouths of all the eyewitnesses of that day.
Then he dispatched cultivators to disseminate all kinds of statents more bizarre and horrifying.
For example: In so places, cultivators suffered a miserable death like Peng Qing did. They scread loudly before their death: “The one who annihilates the Immortal Alliance, is also the Celestial Dharma Bearer.”
And another example, Peng Qing was not really Peng Qing. The real Peng Qing had already died many years ago. The one who died in front of everyone that day was a clone created by a cultivator from the Five Elders Organization, known as “[Thousand-faced Demon Lord]”, with an unpredictable mind, trying to create chaos within the Immortal Alliance.
…
For a while, opinions varied, and the truth was difficult to tell.
Gradually, although the heat of the incident did not decrease, very few people paid attention to the crazy rant that Peng Qing shouted before his death.
Thus, more than ten days passed.
The incident about Peng Qing was slowly forgotten by everyone. Discussion about it beca less and less. Eventually, the public opinion was completely cald down.
It was as if this incident had never happened in the world.
Xu Bai has successfully fulfilled the mission, Nangong Shirong was also very satisfied.
For a rare change, he rewarded plenty of rit and contribution points.
He even handed over a statue to Xu Bai.
“This is …” Xu Bai held the statue in his hand, a marvelous feeling spontaneously arose.
It felt as if he was holding another body of his own.
“This is the [Reincarnation Edict].” Nangong Shirong introduced with a proud face.
“Recently, I was rewarded three of them from above. I kept one for myself and carrying the rest with was of no use. Since you’ve made a great contribution this ti, I simply awarded it to you.”
“With this thing, even if you unfortunately fall, you can imdiately resurrect.”
Xu Bai had a joyful expression: “Thanks for the generous reward!”
From the establishnt of Transcendence Mansion till now, Xu Bai, as the Liaison Officer of one state, could not find out how to get many treasures in Transcendence Mansion.
Although it was announced to the world at the ti that everyone could obtain them as long as they had contribution points,
The gates of the Transcendence Mansion in various states were tightly closed.
Not to ntion common cultivators, even Xu Bai himself had no way to enter.
Let alone exchange for various goods in Transcendence Mansion.
Although many cultivators in the world are dissatisfied, Transcendence Mansion is not under the control of various states.
They only brushed off the questioning on the grounds that various treasures were not ready yet.
After carefully storing the [Reincarnation Edict], Xu Bai asked before leaving: “Nangong sir, what Peng Qing said before his death, that soone was stealing his life span …”
“Is that true?” Xu Bai lowered his voice.
“If it is true, then it can only be suppressed for a while, not forever.”
Nangong Shirong was silent for a mont, shook his head slightly: “Since everyone can resurrect, life span and such are not so important.”
“For us, the achievent of immortality is simply an unattainable fantasy. If so, why care about these?”
Nangong Shirong paused, then turned the subject: “However, not all the cultivators in the world can be as open-minded as I am. Sooner or later, people in various places will notice this. It can’t be suppressed.”
“What we need to do, is to ensure that this matter does not first break out in our Tianliang State.”
Nangong Shirong said coldly.
His words, in effect, reaffird the authenticity of Peng Qing’s words before his death.
Xu Bai remained silent, nodding heavily.
On the way back, his thoughts churned in his spirit consciousness, “Reducing their lifespans…”
“It’s a necessary ans to achieve a cultivator’s true spirit resurrection by the Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign, which doesn’t completely go against logic.”
“Or…”
“Is he intentionally imitating Ruo Mu from the ancient tis?”
The Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign had been showing traces of weirdness, from his unexpected ergence to blatant disregard for logic.
“The Tianxuan Mirror replaces Heaven.”
“The Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign replaces Ruo Mu.”
…
Xu Bai suddenly thought of sothing and froze in his tracks.
Like the previous Zi Chang, he glanced subtly towards the sky.
Then, he quickly lowered his head and hurried away without leaving a trace.
—————–
In Shuofeng’s private residence within Tianquan Province,
“Brother Li?”
Shuofeng’s puzzled voice echoed.
In the midst of their previous duel, Shuofeng was thoroughly enjoying himself.
Unexpectedly, Li Fan spaced out, and an attack that he could easily evade hit him squarely in the chest.
Rampaging sword energy sliced through him, turning the lower half of his body into nothingness.
Thankfully, they were in the era of new laws.
Such minor injuries wouldn’t pose much difficulty for a Nascent Soul Monk.
In the blink of an eye, amidst the faint rumbling of the echoes in the Cave-heavens, Li Fan’s body rapidly healed itself.
Li Fan showed an apologetic expression, “I only just grasped this Etherblade Technique, and after continuous battled with you, Brother Shuo, I’ve beco sowhat drowsy.”
Shuofeng suddenly realized, “It was my oversight. I got carried away and forgot that top-tier divine techniques like this must be highly demanding.”
“Haha, it’s all my fault for being too excited. It’s been a long ti since I’ve encountered such a miraculous technique.”
“It can even affect my control over the [Sword].” Shuofeng marveled.
“Brother Li, you should rest for a mont.”
While chatting, Shuofeng flung a sword light, trimming a few strands of his own white hair.
Then, with a roar, his entire body underwent a transformation, shedding his aged and decrepit form as a snake might shed its skin.
The now youthful and strong Shuo Feng discarded his “old clothes” casually and instantly shed his older form.
The whole body turned into flying ashes at a flick of his finger and disintegrated with an exclamation, “This Life-Severing Silk Threads technique of yours is truly extraordinary. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, it’s unprecedented in my life.”
“If not for my unusual physique, I’m afraid I couldn’t fight you so boldly.”
“Ordinary cultivators struck by your technique might not survive half a day.”
Li Fan pretended to be exhausted and waved his hand, “Don’t ntion it. Despite having created it through my painstaking effort, it still can’t keep up with the changes of the tis.”
“Nowadays, the Transcendence Mansion stands in the sky do, promising reincarnation for all. My technique, as potent as it is, has had its deterrent power weakened by more than just a few tis. Even if the body is ruined, what’s the big deal since they can resurrect?” Li Fan sighed with regret.
Shuo Feng shook his head, “Brother Li, don’t be too modest. Resurrection…
“Hmph.”
“Truthfully, the true powerhouses of the world certainly must care about your technique. With just this move alone, you have outmatched countless self-proclaid heroes.”
“Mmm, we should reconsider your treatnt. Being a re junior worshipper is indeed a bit too modest for you.”
Shuofeng stroked his chin and said slowly.
