Everything within hundreds of miles was shrouded in black fog. It was pitch black and there was no one around.
Ling Xian laughed out loud. His voice echoed in all directions. It was full of excitement and joy.
Originally, he thought he was dead for sure. He didn't even have the chance to reincarnate, let alone revive. Yet now, he had defied the heavens and revived. Why wouldn't he be excited?
Remember that he was a dead person. Both his soul and his body were completely dead!
This meant there was no way he could revive. Even the legendary Dan of the Nine Reincarnations could not bring him back to life. However, at this moment, he was resurrected. He could clearly feel the reality of his body and the reality of this world!
In other words, this wasn't a dream. He had truly revived. How unbelievable was this?
This was heaven-defying!
"Hahaha, I cannot believe I can revive and reappear in this world!"
Ling Xian laughed out loud. His handsome face was full of joy.
Just as he was laughing, the sky suddenly darkened. Then, bean-sized raindrops began to pour down. Every single drop was black in color.
This made Ling Xian's laughter stop. Speechlessly, he stared at the sky above his head and the black raindrops that continued to fall.
He knew that when black rain falls in the Taoism community, it means God is crying. Normally speaking, only when an extraordinary person dies will black rain fall from the sky to express sadness and regret.
But what was happening right now?!
I just revived and you are crying? What is the meaning of this?
Ling Xian was speechless. Though he knew that he was sealed by God and was not a person that God would allow. He didn't think that the moment he revived, God would rain down black rain that represented tears. This was not giving him any face.
"Is this necessary? After all, my revival is a joyous event. You should at least save me some face. Don't cry so soon!"
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know what to say.
Luckily, the red rain and the black lotuses only appeared after his consciousness completely dissipated. Otherwise, if he knew that the moment he died, the heavens would send down red rain to show their joy, who knew what he would think?
He would probably puke out blood from depression!
"Oh well, since I revived, I won't care about such a small thing." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, feeling too lazy to care about the black rain that landed on him. Then, he took out a white robe from his storage pouch and changed into it. In a flash, he entered the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
Although he had been resurrected, the reason for his resurrection was still unknown. Therefore, he planned on asking the real immortals. He believed that the real immortals would be able to answer his questions.
Even though he hadn't been here for a long time, this place was still as beautiful as ever. The scenery was picturesque, just like the fairyland of legends.
The moment he appeared, five silhouettes flew out and arrived before him in the blink of an eye.
"I knew you would come here." Liao Cang Qiong laughed. His eyes were filled with tears.
They were tears of joy.
The other four Perfected Immortals were overjoyed and let out sighs of relief.
The moment they sensed Ling Xian's death, they fell into sorrow. Only when they realized there was a possibility of him reviving did they feel a little better.
Now that Ling Xian had successfully revived, they found it hard to hide their joy.
"It's my fault for making you worry." Ling Xian cupped his fists at the True Immortals, an apologetic look on his face.
"There is no need to be so polite. As long as you are fine." The Ancestor of Technique waved his hand, no longer worried.
"I am sure you are very confused right now."
Liao Cang Qiong looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "Then let me answer your questions."
"Master, please explain."
Ling Xian's spirit was refreshed. He really wanted to know why he was able to revive. Why his Qi was sealed and why his physique was strengthened by several levels.
"This is far too much of a coincidence. Even I find it hard to believe." Liao Cang Qiong exclaimed, "Do you remember that you have a leaf from an undead spiritual medicine?"
"An undead spiritual medicine's leaf?"
Ling Xian was a little startled. He remembered that inside the Palace of Fortune, the fairy-like woman gave him a leaf.
"That woman … she was transformed from an undead spiritual medicine after all."
Ling Xian softly sighed and frowned, "Master, the undead spiritual medicine is truly heaven-defying and has the ability to revive the dead. However, my soul and physical body are already completely dead. Forget about a mere leaf, even an entire stalk of immortal medicine won't be able to revive me. "
"You are right."
Liao Cang Qiong softly nodded, "Your soul has been destroyed and your physical body has turned into dust. Death of this degree is impossible to revive. Even when I was at my prime, I cannot revive you. "
"However, this leaf from the immortal spiritual medicine has reformed your physical body. Your physical body did not die along with your soul." Liao Cang Qiong softly smiled.
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned, "Even so, my soul is already dead. How can I revive?"
"Because other than the leaf from the immortal spiritual medicine, you have another treasure – the Flag of Summoning Souls."
Liao Cang Qiong softly grinned, "This item is an ancient treasure. Just like its name suggests, it has the ability to summon souls. Therefore, the moment your soul disappeared, the Flag of Summoning Souls automatically summoned back your broken soul and reformed it. "
"That's right. The Flag of Summoning Souls protected your soul and the leaf from the immortal spiritual medicine reformed your physical body."
Feng Qing Ming smiled, "But even so, you cannot revive. Though the immortal spiritual medicine and the Flag of Summoning Souls protected your soul and physical body, they are both dead and cannot revive you. "
"Then how can I revive?" Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together, he was getting more and more confused.
"That is why even I find it hard to believe." Feng Qing Ming softly grinned, "Do you remember the Devious Burial Flower you once had?"
"Of course I remember. But it is now called the Devious Burial Flower."
Ling Xian softly nodded and suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but mumble, "Living together … could it be that this flower revived my soul and physical body?"
"That's right."
The Immortal of Technique suddenly spoke, "Though I am not too sure of the uses of this flower, I can feel it. It has the ability of a phoenix."
"Plus, this flower has two forms. The first is the Shared Burial, full of death. The second is the Symbiosis, full of life. "
Duan Shan He smiled, "This is like a reincarnation, a reincarnation cycle from death to life. We are guessing that your death was the perfect opportunity for the flower to transform into the Symbiosis form. The word 'symbiosis' doesn't just refer to the two halves of the flower. "
"What the Immortal of Crafts means is, when the Devious Burial Flower blooms, it will choose a life to revive with it?"
Ling Xian's eyes brightened as he came to this conclusion.
"That's what we think as well."
Liao Cang Qiong softly grinned, "This flower goes from death to life. You went from death to life as well. Something must have happened and created a strange resonance."
"That should be it. Or else the Flag of Summoning and the leaf of the Medicine of Immortality cannot revive me." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He suddenly frowned, still a little confused.
As if reading his confusion, Liao Cang Qiong asked, "You must be confused. You have obviously become demonic. How is it that when you revive, you can remain conscious?"
"That's right. The Demonic Immortal Bone is far too heaven-defying. Though it shatters after one use, the demonic side effect lasts for a lifetime."
Ling Xian nodded, "Even if I am reborn, I will turn into a killing machine. I will have no thoughts and only know how to kill."
"That is true. That is why I said it is too much of a coincidence. Even I find it hard to believe."
Liao Cang Qiong smiled, "Though I don't know what technique you are cultivating, I can sense that this technique has the ability to calm your mind. It is also very extraordinary."
"It is because of this technique that after you revive, the side effects of the Demonic Immortal Bone were eliminated. It prevented you from turning into a monster that only knows how to kill."
The Immortal of Alchemy exclaimed, thinking this was far too coincidental.
The other four real immortals exclaimed as well. Even with their mentality, they found this unbelievable.
As for Ling Xian, he found it even more unbelievable. He didn't think there would be so many coincidences involved in his revival!
The leaf of the Undead Spiritual Medicine reconstructed his broken physical body. The Flag of Soul gathered his dispersed soul. The Devious Flower of Coexistence regenerated his soul and physical body. The Shang Qing Technique eliminated the side effects of the Demonic Immortal Bone.
The four heavenly treasures worked together and created a miraculous transformation that allowed Ling Xian to revive and reappear in the world!
In other words, none of these four treasures could be missing. Without any one of them, he wouldn't have been able to revive!
One has to admit that this was far too coincidental. So coincidental that anyone would find it hard to believe. However, for such a coincidence to occur, it was within reason.
If he didn't have these four treasures, then no matter how coincidental, he wouldn't have been able to revive!
In other words, the reason why he was able to revive was because of himself!
"The world sure is strange. I cannot believe that these four treasures would create such a miraculous reaction."
Ling Xian exclaimed. His expression was 30% lucky and 70% happy.
He was happy that he had accumulated all these years and happy that he successfully revived and defied the heavens to be reborn!
"Yeah, none of these four treasures could be missing. Without any one of them, you wouldn't have been able to reappear in the world." Liao Cang Qiong sighed deeply. Even with his mentality, he couldn't help but feel scared.
The other real immortals felt the same way. They were all feeling scared and happy at the same time.
Though Ling Xian's death didn't mean they would die with him, the Painting of the Nine Immortals only recognizes one owner. If he died, then they wouldn't be able to find another inheritor. That would be no different than death.
"Luckily, these four treasures were with me. They allowed me to survive and defied the heavens to revive."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. He was very happy that he acquired these four treasures. Or else he would've completely disappeared from this world.
"Not only did you revive, but you also gained something out of a disaster. Your capabilities have greatly increased."
Liao Cang Qiong softly grinned, "Have you not realized how much stronger your physical body has become after being revived?"
"Gain something out of a disaster?"
Ling Xian was a little startled. He then inspected his physical body.
