Huh?
Sect Leader Jiang looked bewildered, what's this about?
Is this like a doctor suddenly asking for more money halfway through a surgery?
This Emperor Ziming sure knows how to play games.
Deliberately showing a little skill first, making everyone hopeful.
Getting everyone's expectations high and then extorting them?
"Miao Yu has already been resurrected halfway by me!"
"As long as I continue, she will definitely come back to life. If you don't agree, it will all be for nothing!"
Brother Cheng almost laughed out loud at this.
This is considered halfway resurrected?
If Miao Yu's resurrection progress were 100, she's not even at 1% yet.
Ziming just forcibly injected some Rule of Life power into her.
While he might fool others, there's no fooling someone trained in Life's Profound Pattern.
"Damn you!"
Emperor Cangxu, furious, laughed instead: "Are you looking for trouble by blackmailing us?"
Ziming this time was unafraid.
"If you want to kill, then kill me!"
"But if you kill me, Miao Yu, who's halfway resurrected, will die completely too!"
Jiang Han got anxious.
She's already 'halfway' resurrected, giving up now would be such a waste.
Ziming was sure everyone would cave into this mentality.
"Sigh!"
Brother Cheng sighed, this is like someone delivering a pillow when you're about to doze off.
Initially, he thought he would have to wait for Miao Yu's full resurrection, like in billiards when someone clears the table and there's no chance to showcase oneself.
But this guy just had to dig his own grave.
Isn't this giving him a perfect chance to show off?
He slowly flew to Miao Yu's stone bed.
Emperor Ziming thought he had surrendered.
"After you hand over the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain, you must swear to not harm me or my disciples, and proclaim it using the Transmission Immortal Artifact!"
"Otherwise, I still won't agree!"
He was quite cautious.
Fearing that he wouldn't be able to leave alive even with the treasure, he added some assurances for himself.
Brother Cheng looked at him sympathetically.
You don't even know how to boast, and you still think of such useless things, truly foolish.
"No need to agree, I never needed you anyway."
"What do you mean, don't you want Miao Yu resurrected?"
"Of course I do." Brother Cheng replied casually.
Emperor Ziming relaxed a little, "Then why don't you..."
"Alright, alright, resurrection isn't just your thing, no need to flaunt your mediocre Resurrection Technique everywhere."
"What did you say?"
Emperor Ziming was taken aback, then burst into mocking laughter.
"Have you comprehended the Rule of Life?"
"Yes, I have."
Among Brother Cheng's 992 Main Rules, there indeed was the Rule of Life.
"Hahaha, you think you can resurrect her?"
Emperor Ziming found it incredibly funny.
Even his two apprentices couldn't help but laugh.
"My master is the dominator of the Rule of Life; when it comes to resurrection, no one surpasses him."
"Miao Yu was in a Quasi-Emperor state before her death. With your shallow comprehension of the Rule of Life, not even reaching Rule Brand level, how will you resurrect her?"
"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"
Not just them, even Jiang Han and Cangxu were secretly shaking their heads.
Resurrection is too advanced and heaven-defying; although Sect Leader Jiang has created countless miracles, they couldn't believe he could achieve this too.
"What if I really can do it?"
Brother Cheng smiled, "If I really pull it off, then what?"
In terms of combat, Emperor Ziming wasn't confident, but in the realm of resurrection, he always considered himself the top authority.
He couldn't tolerate others' challenges.
Without thinking, he replied: "If you can do it, I'll let you deal with me as you like!"
He himself wasn't sure about resurrecting Miao Yu and didn't believe anyone else could.
But he left himself an out.
"What if you can't do it?"
Brother Cheng casually said, "Then you can do as you like with me."
"Hahaha, you said it!"
Ziming and his two apprentices were delighted.
Emperor Cangxu was anxious, quickly stepping forward to dissuade Brother Cheng.
"Elder Jiang, don't be rash. Even if you want to resurrect, it doesn't concern them. Why bother..."
Brother Cheng waved him off, smiled, "No worries, it's just so they'll have no regrets when they lose. We always deliver good service."
"Hmph! Arrogant!"
With the bet, Emperor Ziming straightened his back.
"Let's see how you bluster now!"
He then withdrew the Law Space.
The vitality there swiftly disappeared.
"Go ahead!"
He shrugged, about to step back.
But Brother Cheng shook his head, "No need, resurrecting someone is simple for me."
"No need for such troubles like you."
"Utterly laughable!"
Emperor Ziming was even more disdainful.
But just as he finished speaking, Brother Cheng waved his hand over Miao Yu's forehead.
A stream of light flowed over Fairy Miao's body, and then she opened her eyes.
"Jiang Cheng!"
She, both surprised and joyful, sat up from the stone bed.
Perhaps too emotional after coming back to life, she ignored the others present and hugged Brother Cheng tightly.
"I never thought I'd see you alive again!"
Brother Cheng soothingly patted her back; clearly, his favorability meter was off the charts now.
Just as they shared this tender moment, everyone else around was petrified.
What happened?
Did Miao Yu just come back to life like that?
Is this a joke?
The thought crossed not only Emperor Ziming's mind but also those of Emperor Cangxu and the Spirit Realm experts.
If they weren't sure Miao Yu was completely dead before, without a trace of soul left, they would've suspected she faked her death.
"Chief President..."
If it weren't for Jiang Han Immortal Emperor rushing towards Miao Yu in joy, the petrification may have continued longer.
As Jiang Han and Miao Yu embraced, Brother Cheng turned around.
Looking regretfully at Emperor Ziming, he shrugged.
Too bad, in the end, this opportunity was mine to show off.
You missed your chance at the start!
"Isn't it time to own up to the bet and accept the loss?"
Emperor Cangxu laughed heartily, blocking Emperor Ziming's escape.
"That's right, it's time to fulfill the bet!"
The other Spirit Realm experts were beaming.
"Elder Jiang, you're amazing. Who would've thought you could even resurrect someone, it's incredible!"
"Yeah, if we knew you were here, why bother with this guy? Completely unnecessary!"
"Comparing Elder Jiang's resurrection technique to Ziming's, his is a joke..."
They actually didn't understand what just happened.
They weren't even sure if Brother Cheng had really used a resurrection technique; the process was way too straightforward.
It didn't look like it at all!
"This is impossible!"
Emperor Ziming came back to his senses.
"There must be a trick!"
It wasn't just about losing, it was a blow to his authority in his own field of expertise.
"I got it, I know what happened!" one of his disciples suddenly pointed at Brother Cheng and shouted.
