31: Resurrection

Su Ziyuan blinked her large eyes, looking at her body with great surprise and a hint of confusion.

She asked Lin Yan, “Senior Brother Lin, why has my body not dissipated after ten thousand years?”

Lin Yan explained, “Do you know about your physique?”

“My physique?”

Su Ziyuan asked, puzzled.

“Exactly. The reason why it hasn’t decayed after ten thousand years is naturally due to your unique physique.”

“The Reincarnation Holy Body!”

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyuan couldn’t help but gape. She didn’t even know she possessed such a hidden physique.

Bystanders like Hua Zhuyun listened quietly. From the moment things started, they had been shocked countless times and were already numb.

Every moment was refreshing their understanding!

The Reincarnation Holy Body is considered one of the strongest physiques in the continent’s history, cultivating a unique Reincarnation Power. Upon reaching profound realms, it can form Reincarnation Marks within the body.

The most prominent characteristics of the Reincarnation Holy Body are its enhancement of physical injury recovery and the strength of the soul.

Its ability to recover from injuries is several times that of ordinary cultivators, and its soul strength is incredibly resilient.

Only one Reincarnation Mark can be condensed per major realm, which is incredibly difficult.

But what’s truly terrifying is that once the Reincarnation Marks within the body are burned, as long as the life essence is not completely eradicated, even if only a single cell remains, the body can instantly regenerate.

However, a corresponding mark will dissipate.

This is equivalent to having an extra life. If one cultivates to the peak of the continent, then each major realm grants an extra life.

This is why it is called one of the strongest physiques.

The cultivation world is fraught with danger at every step. If one is not careful, the only outcome is death and the dissipation of one’s being.

Those with the Reincarnation Holy Body have a much higher chance of success on their path of ascension compared to others.

Su Ziyuan’s cultivation before her demise was at the Peak Divine Sovereign Realm, possessing six Reincarnation Marks.

Even with treasures like the Profound Ice Coffin, which slows down bodily decay, a body that has been dead for ten thousand years would at most last a thousand years.

But it was under the protection of the Reincarnation Marks that her body remained preserved for ten thousand years, appearing as if she had just died.

Originally, the best outcome would have been for it to dissipate in a few more millennia.

The sliver of Life Origin that Lin Yan obtained from the Heavenly Dao allowed her soul and body to reunite and restore vitality.

If either the body or the soul had dissipated beforehand, even Lin Yan would have been powerless to save her.

If Lin Yan hadn’t appeared this time, her soul would have completely dissipated after emerging, failing to meet this condition.

This act, after all, goes against the heavens. After resurrection, her lifespan would be less than a century. If she couldn’t achieve a breakthrough, she would still inevitably succumb to the exhaustion of her lifespan.

Lin Yan wasn’t too worried about this. Before her death, Su Ziyuan was only a step away from the Venerable Realm, needing only a catalyst to advance.

At that time, her lifespan would increase by two thousand years.

Cultivators contend with heaven for life. Mortals live for less than a century, but those in the Body Tempering Realm can extend their lifespan to nearly two hundred years.

The Qi Sea Realm grants a lifespan of three hundred years.

Spirit Core is around five hundred, Divine Essence a thousand, Spirit King two thousand.

God-Emperor three thousand, Venerable Realm five thousand, Saint Realm eight thousand.

Reaching the God Realm allows one to break the ten-thousand-year barrier, with a maximum lifespan of around thirteen thousand years.

The Quasi-Emperor Realm, a leap in life, can live for up to twenty-five thousand years, while the Emperor Realm boasts a full fifty thousand years of lifespan!

The Law of Life in Lin Yan’s hand transformed into a green ray, entering Su Ziyuan’s body. A few breaths later, wisps of black energy emanated from her body.

This was the aura of death!

A brilliant green light enveloped her body, and vitality slowly recovered. This lasted for a full fifteen minutes until the black energy completely vanished.

The active particles in her body were fully activated, and vitality permeated. Su Ziyuan gazed intently at this scene, then took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yan.

She softly said, “Senior Brother Lin, thank you!”

Hearing this, Lin Yan chuckled, “It’s time for your soul to return.” As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ziyuan’s soul transformed into a seven-colored light speck and flew into her Sea of Consciousness.

The Hundred Flowers Sect disciples stared at Su Ziyuan’s body with extreme nervousness. This concerned the future of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

The body, buried for ten thousand years, stirred a finger under everyone’s gaze, then her eyelids began to tremble, slowly opening her eyes.

The next moment, she sat up from the coffin. Anyone unaware would have thought she had risen from the dead.

Her aura inadvertently leaked out, and the coffin instantly disintegrated into nothingness.

After adapting to her body, Su Ziyuan stood up, the astonishment in her eyes not yet faded.

After all, resurrection was too mythical; it had never been heard of in any records across the entire continent.

Crack! Just then.

She seemed to hear a sound from within her body, and then her entire aura continuously ascended. Had Lin Yan not been prepared, the Hundred Flowers Sect and others would have been unable to withstand that power.

Su Ziyuan also reacted, her figure enveloped in a seven-colored glow, soaring into the sky, reaching ten thousand feet above ground.

At this point, her aura was still continuously rising, until it reached a critical point, and a terrifying aura that made the entire Qingxuan Domain tremble erupted.

No matter where they were in the Qingxuan Domain, all forces and cultivators felt as if a divine mountain was pressing down on their hearts, extremely stifling. They all looked up at the sky in confusion.

Although they didn’t know what had happened, everyone felt an incredibly heavy pressure, yet couldn’t find its source.

Within those top sects, however, there was great alarm!

This is?

The coercion of a powerful expert?

What level of existence must possess such coercion? They couldn’t perceive the distance or direction; it seemed to be released indiscriminately.

The entire Qingxuan Domain seemed to be in an earthquake, stirring into commotion.

Hua Zhuyun and the others from the Hundred Flowers Sect looked excitedly at the figure in the high sky. This aura was like a giant dragon from the nine heavens, unreachable.

Although they didn't know how powerful she was, even a Spirit King Realm expert would likely be extinguished with a wave of her hand before their Ancestor!

The former glory shall surely reappear!

Su Ziyuan only felt that the spiritual energy within her body was many times stronger than that of the Peak Divine Sovereign Realm. If she unleashed her full power, it would be enough to destroy an area hundreds of miles wide.

She clenched her fist, and after feeling it for a moment, slowly withdrew her aura. The pressure that had enveloped the Qingxuan Domain gradually dissipated.

Su Ziyuan flashed and appeared before Lin Yan, exclaiming in surprise, “Senior Brother Lin, I’ve broken through!”

After speaking, she playfully blinked her eyes.

Lin Yan couldn’t help but smile, “You were originally just a hair’s breadth away from a breakthrough. After experiencing the great calamity of life and death, your Reincarnation Intent became even richer, so breaking through was naturally to be expected.”

He paused, then added, “What are your plans? Are you going back to that place?”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Su Ziyuan’s face instantly vanished, and a memory surfaced from the depths of her mind.

For her, it was a relatively dark period. If Senior Brother Lin hadn’t appeared, she would have likely been buried elsewhere long ago.

After a moment of contemplation, she said calmly, “Once the Hundred Flowers Sect is stable, I will return!”

“Everything I lost, I will reclaim!”
