Qingyunxian

Chapter 631 Cicada People
The death of Li Dao Hongniang left Sun Shouyi stunned. He did not see the several Yunxians who appeared above his head, nor the Elder Qi whom he had been thinking about day and night.

When Qi Tiansun saw this face, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, which eventually turned into a lot of contradictions, and he shifted his attention away from Sun Shouyi.

"Uncle Jianzhen, this brat..." A Yunxian pointed at Sun Shouyi, wanting to blame him for shouting and being disrespectful.

Jian Zhen stopped him and shook his head: "Tell Tiaoshan Sect what this man just said."

"As for him," Jian Zhen looked at Sun Shouyi, "Tian Sun, you can take him to practice swordsmanship."

Jian Zhen didn't know about the relationship between Sun Shouyi and Qi Tiansun. Sun Shouyi called Elder Qi's name first, and Jian Zhen arranged Sun Shouyi to Qi Tiansun.

Although he failed to rescue the disciples of Tiaoshan Sect, Jian Zhen was quite optimistic about Sun Shouyi's bold character.

This is what those who practice swordsmanship should do.

By accident, Jian Zhen's words forced Qi Tiansun to face Sun Shouyi.

Qi Tiansun had a cold face and waved his hand to summon Sun Shouyi onto the cloud.

Seeing this person he had been thinking about day and night, Sun Shouyi was immediately excited, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "Elder Qi Qi."

In Black Domain Cloud City, Liu Xun opened his eyes.

Li Daohongniang is dead.

Despite having put so much effort into training her, Liu Xun did not feel sorry for Li Daohongniang's death.

But the force didn't seem to kill Hongniang completely.

Sensing the clone of Li Dao Hong Niang, Liu Xun's consciousness suddenly paused. He looked around following Li Dao Hong Niang's sight, only to find that Li Dao Hong Niang had been resurrected in Ming Chan Valley.

In other words, at this time, Li Dao Hongniang became a cicada, lying quietly on the fairy tree in Mingchan Valley and absorbing the juice.

Not one of those fairy cicadas, but a newly emerged cicada.

A cicada with extraordinary strength.

Liu Xun narrowed his eyes. Could it be that Li Daohongniang had established a connection with the fairy tree because she had eaten too many cicada fruits?

The powerful matchmaker did die in Lingxiao Sword Sect, but strangely, she became a powerful cicada on the fairy tree.

If it is not caused by cicada fruit, there is no other reason.

This cicada with extraordinary power has a soul courtyard like a human, but it is empty inside. Liu Xun sensed it and found that it is no different from a human body and can practice heavenly immortal techniques.

Just weird.

Liu Xun had never seen any strange beast that could practice heavenly magic.

The powerful strange cicada crawled, but the fairy cicadas did not attack or drive it away, as if they did not care about its existence at all.

There were many more cicada fruits on the fairy tree, and the powerful cicada flew up and started to eat one of them.

Two, three. He swallowed endlessly, and the powerful cicada swept away all the cicada fruits.

What surprised Liu Xun was that the powerful cicada transformed into the appearance of Hou again.

This strange resurrection and transformation into a human again is truly shocking.

The strangeness of Mingchan Valley became even more mysterious in Liu Xun's eyes.

At this stage, Liu Xun doesn't know what other method can be used to bring the dead back to life except the Nine Nether Yaksha Method.

Can the cicada fruit grown on a magical tree bring the powerful matchmaker back to life?
There must be some secret hidden in this!
Liu Xun controlled Li Hongniang to move around, but the fairy cicadas still ignored him, as if Li Hongniang had become one of their own kind.

Cicada, man, cicada fruit, death and rebirth.
Liu Xun thought back to what he had seen and heard, but didn't find anyone or anything that matched the description.

Perhaps the girl’s spirit in the cave would know.

The lucky matchmaker traveled to the cave in Tingquan Mountain, intending to ask the girl about this matter.

Seeing a stranger suddenly break into the cave, the little girl looked at Yundao Hongniang carefully and suddenly asked excitedly: "Did you kill Liu Xun and get his ability to come and go as he pleases?"

The girl sounded a little excited.

She thought that the evil man Liu Xun was finally dead.

The lucky matchmaker smiled strangely: "You don't want to continue trading exotic beasts?"

The girl's face fell when she heard that, and she shrugged and said, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy to die."

The girl curled her lips and did not ask about the relationship between Yundao Hongniang and Liu Xun. Instead, she snorted, "What are you going to ask this time?"

"Trade for the exotic beasts!"

The lucky matchmaker had already prepared the exotic beast. No matter how reluctant she was, the girl had something to ask of Liu Xun, so she could only listen to the lucky matchmaker patiently.

"You mean people turn into cicadas after death, and turn back into people after eating cicada fruit?" The girl was surprised and kept muttering, "It's that thing, it shouldn't be, it's been so long."

The lucky matchmaker interrupted, "What is it?"

The girl frowned, combed her hair, and said, "The Kingdom of Cicadas."

"In ancient times, there was a country of strange people called Mingchan Country. It is said that the people there were born in the shape of cicadas, ate the fruit of a sacred tree and grew into humans. After death, they turned into cicadas and continued to eat the fruit of the sacred tree to grow into humans. However, the people at that time were no longer the same as before!"

"This is the second way for the people of Mingchan to maintain their population besides reproduction."

Yundao Hongniang was full of doubts: "Are you saying that the fairy tree is the sacred tree of Mingchan Kingdom?"

"That's exactly what I'm confused about." The girl touched her chin and sighed, "The sacred tree of Mingchan Country was destroyed long ago, and Mingchan Country disappeared along with it. Logically, this tree shouldn't exist."

“Could it be that it grew from the seeds of the sacred tree?”

The girl talked to herself. She felt that the change in Li Daohongniang's life was undoubtedly a characteristic of the Mingchan people, but the cause and effect were still unclear.

According to Li Dao Hongniang's logic, if people eat too much cicada fruit, will they become cicada people?

Otherwise it would be hard to explain why Li Hongniang turned into a cicada after her death.

The lucky matchmaker seemed to be thinking about something, perhaps the girl's analysis was not wrong.

The cicada shell boxing skill that Li Dao Hong Niang learned came from the cicada fruit. If this had an impact on him, it might very well be the cause of his becoming a cicada after death.

And when the cicada transformed into a human again, it became the powerful matchmaker, which seemed to conflict with what the girl said.

But the essence of Li Dao Hongniang is Hongniang's clone, neither dead nor alive. The fact that Chan becomes a second person when he transforms into a human again does not affect his continued control by Liu Xun.

Following this line of thought, doesn't it mean that Li Dao Hongniang is another level of immortality?
There are many strange things in the country of strange people, like the people of Sanshou who have a seasonal body. It seems that the interaction between cicadas and humans is the special feature of the Mingchan Kingdom.

For Liu Xun, the biggest benefit of this ability is that he has an immortal matchmaker clone.

He even thought about transferring this ability to other matchmakers.

However, this ability is far from being as direct as One-Eye Five and Great Formless Method. Even using Thus Have I Heard is difficult to organize and transform.

There is no rush for this matter, we can take our time.

This resurrection from the dead is not without its drawbacks.

When a Mingchan person dies and is reborn, he will become a different person. Because of Hongniang, this defect is meaningless.

But after Li Dao Hongniang came back to life, the power she had cultivated before was gone.

Not only the core method and cloud method, but also the realm has become the Baizun realm.

Is this kind of immortality what you want?

Liu Xun couldn't help but frown. It would be better to capture some more Huang Zunjing to be the matchmaker's clones. At least that way the combat effectiveness could be guaranteed.

Unless this ability of the Cicada people has other benefits that are worth retaining.

"Is this the only special thing about the Mingchan people?" Yundao Hongniang asked the question that Liu Xun wanted to know.

The girl shook her head. “That’s not why the Mingchan people are famous.”

She actually tutted a little when she said this.

"It keeps dying and coming back to life. It is said that it dies a hundred times, and practices the same path each time. The last time the cicada transforms into a human, a cicada seal will be born in the soul court."

“That cicada seal.”

"It seems that I can bring the accumulation of hundreds of times to the present moment, and in an instant, a unique innate core talisman is born!"

"That kind of natural talisman has another name, called Immortal Root."

The girl kept on talking, seemingly endlessly: "The longer Mingchan Country lasts, the more cloud immortals will be born. Moreover, they have immortal roots accumulated from hundreds of lives and deaths. The combat power of these cloud immortals far exceeds that of their peers."

Yundao Hongniang was slightly stunned when she heard this. Such a foreign country would probably not be allowed during the reign of the Holy Emperor.

No wonder the Cicada Kingdom and the sacred tree were destroyed later.

Even if they would become another person after resurrection from the dead, the people of Mingchan would not easily commit suicide. However, after a long period of accumulation, the foundation of Mingchan country should not be underestimated.

For Li Dao Hong Niang, once he possesses this ability and has the power of immortal roots in the future, he may be able to truly become a sharp blade in Liu Xun's hands.
