On Extreme Heaven Peak.
At this moment, it was already nightfall. The sky was filled with stars as the moon and stars intertwined. On the observatory of the Heavenly Temple, the few elders of Limitless Palace had been waiting for a long time. The seven of them were seated around a round table with a Taiji diagram on it. On the round table, Cheng Yu's body was lying on top of it.
In the afternoon, Qing Yuanzi had told the other senior and junior brothers about the Seven Star Yin-Yang Soul Summoning Array. The seven of them had studied it together for the entire afternoon.
At this moment, it was time for them to execute the resurrection technique for Cheng Yu.
The seven of them had arranged themselves into a Seven Star Array. Every one of them was in a Yin-Yang diagram.
Qing Yuanzi looked up at the stars in the sky. He felt that it was about time. Therefore, he said. "It's about time. Everyone get ready!"
The moment Qing Yuanzi spoke, the seven of them shut their eyes at the same time. Their mouths were chanting cryptic scriptures or incantations. The atmosphere had become very strange and solemn.
Lan Ya and Xin Yao were extremely nervous. This was the only chance for Cheng Yu to come back to life. If they were to fail, they would have to accept the fact that Cheng Yu had died.
Wu ~ Wu ~! As the seven of them were chanting the incantation faster and faster, the surrounding suddenly turned chilly. Spirits started to appear.
"This … … what's this? Is it a ghost? " Lan Ya saw a human figure with disheveled hair was floating around in the sky. Her complexion turned pale as she leaned towards Xin Yao and spoke in fear.
"It's fine! These are just the spirits of those who had died. This method is actually able to attract spirits over. Seems like Cheng Yu might really be able to come back to life! " Xin Yao placed her hand on Lan Ya's shoulder. When she saw these spirits, she wasn't afraid. Instead, she was somewhat excited.
Because these spirits were one of the three souls and seven spirits. Some of these spirits were similar to Cheng Yu. They had been dispersed by others. Some of them had died but their souls didn't disperse.
Therefore, some of these spirits might be complete souls. Some of them might only have a few souls or a few spirits. Or even just one soul or one spirit.
But as time passed, the number of spirits in the surroundings increased. Some of them had already started killing each other ferociously, causing Lan Ya to be even more afraid.
There were still quite a number of spirits that had started to charge towards Cheng Yu who was lying in the middle. Fortunately, there were seven Great Ascension Stage experts surrounding the perimeter. Coupled with the Seven Star Array, most of the spirits did not dare to rush in. They only wandered around and roared!
"Yao 'er! Don't let other spirits enter Cheng Yu's body! "At this moment, Qing Yuanzi opened his eyes and shouted.
Although they had temporarily blocked these spirits, they were still casting a spell, so they could not divert their attention to block these spirits. This Soul Summoning Technique still needed a period of time. If they were to be continuously attacked by these spirits, not only would they fail to cast the technique, but Cheng Yu's body might also be occupied by other souls. That would be really troublesome.
At that time, even if Cheng Yu came back to life, he would no longer be Cheng Yu, but someone else.
When Xin Yao saw the situation, she left behind a Spirit Driving Talisman for Lan Ya. After that, she charged up alone, beating away those spirits that wanted to occupy Cheng Yu's body.
When she saw the number of spirits increasing, Xin Yao was also in a difficult position. Because these spirits weren't easy to attack. They were formless, like a cloud of smoke.
If she were to use the Spirit Driving Talisman, she would be able to disperse these spirits easily. But because this Soul Summoning Array was originally used to summon Cheng Yu's soul, if she were to use the Spirit Driving Talisman, she might disperse Cheng Yu's soul as well.
Therefore, although it was very difficult for Xin Yao to block them, she could only clench her teeth and persevere. If she knew this would happen, she would have called some of her Junior Brothers over. However, she knew that this was impossible because the matter of reviving Cheng Yu was a secret, and it was very secretive and cautious.
If Cheng Yu was really resurrected and the people of Kunlun found out, wouldn't they think of ways to kill Cheng Yu? Therefore, only the few of them knew about this matter.
Although such a phenomenon had occurred in the Extreme Heaven's Peak, causing countless of spirits to surge towards the Extreme Heaven's Peak, a lot of people had noticed it. Furthermore, quite a number of them had already rushed over to the Extreme Heaven's Peak. However, when they realized the spirits were all heading towards the Extreme Heaven's Peak Stargazing Platform, none of them dared to go over.
Because regardless of the Extreme Heaven's Peak Stargazing Platform or Limitless Peak Stargazing Platform, ordinary people weren't allowed to enter. Unless they had the elder's permission. Therefore, although they were curious, they couldn't do anything about it.
Wu ~ Wu ~ Wu! On the Stargazing Platform, more and more spirits were piling up. Furthermore, an Initial Stage Spirit Severing spirit had appeared! Xin Yao's expression turned grave as she was startled.
Even a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator had arrived. This was no longer summoning spirits but seizing his body. When one's cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm, the Golden Core would shatter, revealing a Nascent Soul. This Nascent Soul was exactly the same as the original body, a mini version of oneself.
This Nascent Soul not only represented a cultivator's realm, it was also the condensation of a person's soul. Therefore, even if a cultivator who possessed a Nascent Soul were to perish, as long as the Nascent Soul was still present, he would still be able to live on. As long as he could reconstruct his body or find a new one, it would be fine.
As for the Spirit Severing Realm, the Nascent Soul had already become the same size as the original body, becoming a primordial spirit. As long as the primordial spirit wasn't extinguished, they wouldn't die. If they wished to be reborn, naturally, they would need to seize someone else's body.
Currently, the Spirit Severing Realm spirit that Xin Yao was facing was a primordial spirit. However, it could only be considered as an incomplete primordial spirit because its strength wasn't as powerful as a true Spirit Severing Realm cultivator.
But even so, it was enough for Xin Yao to have a hard time dealing with it. Although she was in the Late Stage Nascent Soul Realm, there was still a huge gap between her and a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator. Even if the other party's primordial spirit wasn't stable, it was still very difficult for her to deal with it.
Meanwhile, the 7 people who were casting the spell had also felt the pressure on them increasing by several folds. They could also sense the appearance of a powerful spirit. However, they had already reached the crucial moment. They could only hope that Xin Yao would be able to persevere and not allow the spirit to snatch Cheng Yu's body away.
Pu! Xin Yao's attack didn't manage to hit the spirit. Instead, she was struck by the spirit. Fortunately, she had the middle-grade immortal robe that Cheng Yu had given her. Although she had vomited a mouthful of blood, she didn't suffer any serious injuries.
However, when she saw the Spirit Severing Realm spirit actually wanted to snatch Cheng Yu's body, Xin Yao immediately grew anxious. She couldn't be bothered about the injuries on her body anymore. With a flash, she appeared in front of the spirit.
Xin Yao hardened her heart. In any case, she didn't see Cheng Yu's soul. Therefore, she took out a Spirit Driving Talisman and chanted an incantation. The Spirit Driving Talisman suddenly shone with radiance. A weird word rushed out from the Spirit Driving Talisman, charging towards the spirit.
The spirit was startled. In an instant, it was struck away by the weird word. Although this spirit was a Spirit Severing Realm primordial spirit, it was still a soul type lifeform. Since it was a soul type lifeform, the Spirit Driving Talisman would definitely be effective.
The spirit was injured but it didn't escape. Seizing a body wasn't as simple as the soul returning to its original position and possessing the body. Seizing a body wasn't something that could be done by just anyone. The requirements to do so were extremely harsh.
Otherwise, with the countless of spirits in the world, wouldn't a lot of people have been seized by them? In order to succeed in seizing a body, the person must at least have lost his soul. Just like Cheng Yu, he was only left with a body.
Furthermore, the most important thing was that it required a fortuitous encounter. When an ordinary person died, it would be impossible to attract a spirit over. Only under special circumstances would it be possible. For example, someone was using a soul summoning technique.
There were also the various requirements for the physical body. In short, it was an opportunity that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after.
Otherwise, with so many spirits around, wouldn't everyone be able to resurrect endlessly after they died? Besides, a spirit with an incomplete soul wouldn't be able to come back to life even if it possessed a body.
As for Cheng Yu, he was a fortuitous encounter for this Spirit Severing Realm spirit. If he wished to encounter such an opportunity again, he wouldn't know how many years he would have to wait. Therefore, he wasn't willing to leave just like that. He must seize this body.
However, he was afraid of the Spirit Driving Talisman in Xin Yao's hand. Therefore, he could only wander around the surroundings.
Xin Yao didn't take the initiative to attack as she stood guard around the Seven Star Array. Meanwhile, the seven spell casters were already making their final effort.
Bang! That spirit seemed to have sensed that the spell casting was about to end as he launched another attack.
Xin Yao didn't care as she once again stopped him from seizing Cheng Yu's body. Bang! Bang! Although Xin Yao had used all her strength, she still wasn't a match for the spirit. She was continuously injured but she still clenched her teeth and persevered. Lan Ya who was holding onto the Spirit Expelling Talisman was already hiding in a corner trembling in fear. When she saw how Xin Yao was risking her life to stop the spirit from seizing Cheng Yu's body, she felt touched and worried at the same time.
Pu! Just when Xin Yao was sent flying by the spirit once again, the seven spell casting was about to come to an end. The Taiji diagram that the seven of them were sitting on had already started to emit radiance. Seven rays of radiance soared up to the sky.
The seven brightest stars in the sky suddenly became even brighter. The seven rays of radiance converged into one before shining onto Cheng Yu's body.
Such an intense reaction was seen by everyone in Limitless Palace. They had no idea what was happening in the Extreme Heaven's Peak! There were also a lot of people who were unaware of the situation that had flown over to the Extreme Heaven's Peak. However, similar to the previous people, when they saw the mysterious phenomenon appearing on the observatory, they could only return back gloomily.
The starlight was still shining onto Cheng Yu's body. The spirit knew that it was hopeless and started to disperse. Qing Xuzi and the seven spell casters, Xin Yao who was lying on the ground and Lan Ya who was holding onto the Spirit Expelling Talisman were also watching this scene excitedly. Their mood was both excited and nervous!
They weren't sure if Cheng Yu would be able to be resurrected!
Whoosh! The starlight lasted for a quarter of an hour. When the starlight disappeared, Cheng Yu's body appeared in front of everyone once again. Everyone walked up to Cheng Yu nervously. Qing Xuzi checked on Cheng Yu's situation. His heart immediately sunk as his complexion turned extremely ugly. There was disappointment, grief and helplessness!
