This place was clouded over by a layer of black air for hundreds of meter. It was pitch black and nobody was in sight.
Ling Xian laughed out loud. His voice made everything around him tremble and it was full of happiness and excitement.
Originally, he thought there was no way out for him other than death. Coming back alive? He didn’t even think his soul could reincarnate. Yet now, he had somehow defied heaven and survived. Why wouldn’t he be excited?
Remember that he was a dead man already. His soul and his physical body were completely dead already!
This meant there was no way for him to come back alive. Even the legendary Dan of Reincarnation would not have helped him come back to this world. Yet today, he had revived. He could so clearly feel his physical body and the realism of his world.
This meant he was not dreaming. He truly had revived. Just how unbelievable was this?
This was heaven defying!
“Haha, I cannot believe I would come back alive and reappear in this world!”
Ling Xian guffawed. His handsome face was full of joy.
Right after he laughed, the sky suddenly darkened. Then, pea-sized rain began to pour. Every single drop was black.
This forced Ling Xian’s laughter to stop abruptly. He speechlessly looked at the clouds over his head and the unstopping black droplets.
He knew that every time there is black rain in the Taoism world, it meant God was crying. Normally speaking, only when important figures die, do black rainfall, representing sadness and pity.
But what was going on here!
I just revived and you are already crying. What does this mean?
Ling Xian was speechless. He knew that he had many inhibition spells from God because Heaven did not like him. But he really didn’t expect God to start crying the moment he comes back alive. This was embarrassing.
“Is this necessary? Coming back alive is a joyous event. You need to give me some face. Why are you crying so soon!”
Ling Xian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Luckily, his consciousness had drifted away when it was raining red rain and black lotuses grew. If he knew the moment he died, God sent down red rain to express his joy, Ling Xian wouldn’t know how to react.
Probably will puke blood from depression!
“Alright, since I just revived, I will not dwell on such small matter.” Ling Xian shook his head and smiled. He felt too lazy to pay attention to this black rain. Therefore, he took out a white robe from his storage pouch and changed into it. Then, he entered into the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
Even though he had come back alive and he doesn’t feel any different than before; the reason for his revival remained unknown. Therefore, he planned on asking the real immortals what happened. He believed firmly that the immortals can answer his questions.
He hasn’t been here for a long time but this place was fresh and picturesque as usual. It truly looked like how heaven is normally described.
The moment he appeared, five silhouettes flew out and dashed before him.
“I knew you would come here.” Liao Cang Qiong chuckled. There were some tears in his eyes.
Tears of happiness that is.
As for the other four real immortals. They appeared happy and all sighed in relief.
When they sensed Ling Xian’s death, they were deep in sorrow. Only when they discovered the possibility of him reviving, did they feel better.
Now that Ling Xian had successfully revived, naturally they found it hard to hide their joy.
“It was all my fault. I made you guys worry.” Ling Xian paid his respect to the immortals with an apologetic look on his face.
“There is no need to act so formally. I am glad you are okay.” The Immortal of Technique waved his hand and no longer worried.
“I bet you are super confused right now.”
Liao Cang Qiong stared at Ling Xian. “Let me solve your confusion.”
“Please speak of it, master.”
Ling Xian felt very energetic. He too wanted to know how he was able to come back away and why his Qi was sealed. Yet his physical body felt like it had enhanced in power.
“What happened was far too coincidental. Even for us, we found it hard to believe.” Liao Cang Qiong exclaimed, ” Do you remember how you carried the leaf of a type of undead medicine?”
“The leaf of the undead medicine?”
Ling Xian was a little startled. Then he remembered that when he was in the Palace of Fortune, he was given a leaf by a goddess-like woman.
“That woman... was truly transformed by the medicine of the undead.”
Ling Xian softly sighed and frowned, “Master, the medicine of the undead is truly heaven-defying and can form bones in the dead. However, my soul and physical body were both destroyed. Even an entire branch of the medicine of the undead wouldn’t help me, let alone just one leaf.”
“You are completely right.”
Liao Cang Qiong nodded, “For your soul to dissipate and your physical body to turn to dust... death of such caliber cannot be undone. Even when I was at my prime, I wouldn’t have been able to revive, let alone you.”
“But, this leaf of the undead closely glued together with your decomposed physical body and disallowed your physical body to go with your soul.” Liao Cang Qiong smiled.
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned slightly, “but even if that was the case, my soul had died, how do I come back alive?”
“Because other than the leaf of the undead, you have another treasure: the Flag of Evocation.”
Liao Cang Qiong faintly smiled, “This item is a strange treasure from the last era. Just like its name, it calls out to the spirits. Therefore, the moment your soul began to dissipate, the Flag of Evocation worked to recalled your spirit and merged them together.”
“That’s right, the Flag of Evocation protected your soul while the Leaf of the Undead saved your physical body.”
Feng Qing Ming said with a chuckle, “But even so, you couldn’t come back alive. After all, those objects have died, they cannot replenish your life source.”
“Then how was I able to return back to life?” Ling Xian’s brows tightened. He was getting more and more confused.
“What happened next is what amused me.” Feng Qing Ming grinned slightly, “Do you remember how you once acquired a Devious Burial Flower?”
“Of course I remember, but the flower’s name is now the Devious Disinterment Flower.”
Ling Xian softly nodded and suddenly realized something. He couldn’t help but mumble, “Disinterment... you are saying... this flower allowed my body and my soul to regain their vitality?”
“That’s right.”
The Immortal of Techniques suddenly spoke, “Though I am not too sure what the effects of this flower are, I can feel that it has the ability to make someone reborn.”
“Plus, this flower has two forms. The first one is deadly and buries one’s life. The second is lively and regenerates.”
Duan Shan He continued, “It’s like reincarnation. It starts with life and circles to death before circling back to it. We are thinking that your death gave this flower the chance to transform itself completely and display its abilities. Its name, disinterment, doesn’t necessarily mean the flower can be disinterred.”
“What he is saying is that the moment the Devious Disinterment Flower blooms, it will choose an owner to come back to life with?”
Ling Xian’s eyes brightened and reached this conclusion.
“We think that is the case.”
Liao Cang Qiong smiled, “This flower is only born because its other half died. And you too were reborn after death. We think these similarities created some kind of relationship between you and the treasure.”
“That should be it. or else the Flag of Evocation and the Leaf of the Undead aren’t enough to revive me.” Ling Xian’s lips curled up. Then, he suddenly frowned. He still had a lot of questions.
As if they had recognized his suspicion. Liao Cang Qiong asked with a smirk, “You are wondering how you were able to revive so clear headedly after becoming demonic?”
“That’s right. The Demonic Immortal Bone is very heaven-defying. Though after one use, it breaks, the demonic side effects last forever.”
Ling Xian nodded, “Even if I do somehow regain my life, I should turn into a killing machine without thoughts and only a desire to kill.”
“That is true. Which is why we said what happened is so coincidental and hard even for us to believe.”
Liao Cang Qiong smiled, “I don’t know what kind of technique you practiced. But I can feel it. The technique you used is good at calming the heart and the mind. It is also very extraordinary.”
“It’s because of this technique, did you revive into yourself and got rid of the Demonic Immortal Bone’s side effect.”
The Immortal of Alchemy exclaimed, thinking everything happened so coincidentally.
The other four immortals also exclaimed. Even with their mentality, they found everything to be so interesting.
As for Ling Xian, he was in disbelief. He cannot believe that to come back to life, so many different things had to happen!
The Leaf of the Undead reconstructed his broken body, the Flag of Evocation recollected his soul. The Devious Flower of Disinterment gave his physical body and soul a chance to be reborn. And the Technique of Shang Qing sect got rid of the side effects of the Demonic Immortal Bone.
The four treasures complemented each other and created a miraculous transformation that helped Ling Xian come back to life in a heaven-defying manner!
In other words, if he was missing any one of these four treasures, he wouldn’t have been to come back to life!
One has to admit just how coincidental this entire ordeal is. Anyone would find this to be unbelievable. But to have something like this to occur was also sensible and possible.
If he didn’t have these four treasures, no matter how lucky he was, he wouldn’t have been able to come back alive.
In other words, the reason why he was able to come back to life, was all thanks to himself!
“The world sure is a miraculous place. I cannot believe the combination of these four items would create such an interesting reaction.”
Ling Xian exclaimed. His tone expression how he felt 30% rejoiced, and 70% ecstatic.
He felt so fortunate that he accumulated so many treasures over the years. He was happy that he was able to come back to life!
“Yes, even missing one of the four items would’ve meant you cannot come back to this world.” Liao Cang Qiong sighed. Even with his mentality, he couldn’t help but feel fear after the fact.
The other real immortals all felt the same. They felt fearful and fortunate.
Though Ling Xian’s death doesn’t indicate that they will also die, the Painting of the Nine Immortals only recognized one owner. If he died, then they wouldn’t have another apprentice and inheritor. There would be no different than if they had died.
“Luckily the four objects all belonged to me. They made sure I wouldn’t actually die.”
Ling Xian smiled a little, feeling very lucky that he acquired these four items. Or else he would’ve truly evaporated in this world.
“Not only did you come back alive. You got lucky and your capabilities increased.”
Liao Cang Qiong continued to smile, “Haven’t you discovered that after your revival, your capabilities increased?”
“Got lucky?”
Ling Xian was a little startled as he internally examined his physical body.
