Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 257 Li Xiu's Request for Help

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, Xie Shen had been in Anqing Sect for nearly ten years.

For more than ten years, he has been practicing in seclusion in the sect, always working diligently.

This enabled him to successfully advance from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

According to the regulations of Anqing Sect:

All disciples of this sect, after breaking through to the foundation-building stage, can practice the "Tongxin Qilu" technique that points directly to the great Dao.

Now is the day for the headmaster to pass on his teachings.
...

Anqing Sect, inside the sect's main hall.

In front of countless disciples, Sect Leader Yao Congyang gently stroked Xie Shen's forehead.

He said with a hint of smile: "Fang Han, you have been a member of our Anqing Sect since you were ten years old, and it has been more than fourteen years now."

"During the past fourteen years, you have been practicing our sect's skills diligently, without interruption from winter to summer."

"Until now, I have finally lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully broken through to the foundation-building stage."

"According to the sect's rules, I will teach you the "Tongxin Qilu" technique that can only be practiced by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Please savor it carefully!"

Say it.

Yao Congyang hurriedly placed his hand on the storage bag at his waist, took out a jade slip from it and placed it on Xie Shen's forehead.

At this moment, all the contents about the "Tong Xin Qi Lu" technique entered Xie Shen's mind like an enlightenment.

While passing on his skills, Yao Congyang did not forget to explain to Xie Shen: "Disciple, remember this."

"This world, in addition to being filled with inexhaustible spiritual power, also has an almost infinite power of faith."

"Like spiritual power, the power of faith can also be absorbed by cultivators and used to improve their cultivation."

"And our sect's 'Tongxin Qilu' technique is a method that teaches practitioners how to absorb the power of faith."

The power of faith?
I don’t know why.

The moment he heard the words "power of faith", Xie Shen seemed to have suddenly remembered something important.

He couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xie Shen's reaction, Master Yao Congyang immediately asked him, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"no."

Xie Shen held his forehead with his hand and said with a troubled look, "I just feel like I seem to have forgotten something very important."

"It seems like a promise."

"As for what the specific promise was, I can't remember it for the moment."

“It’s a weird feeling.”

"No problem." Upon hearing this, Yao Congyang taught Xie Shen, "For cultivators like us, what matters is to follow our hearts and have clear thoughts."

“As a person, you only need to have a clear conscience when doing things.”

“Don’t let yourself get bogged down in unnecessary worries and let demons grow in your heart because of unimportant things.”

"Master, what you said is absolutely right!" Xie Shen agreed as always.

In the main hall.

Yao Congyang continued with what he said before: "When a practitioner absorbs enough power of faith, when the quantitative change reaches a qualitative change, the power of faith in the body can automatically transform into the power of law."

"By then, you can break through from the foundation-building stage to the golden elixir stage in one fell swoop."

"Continue to accumulate the power of the law in this way. When this power changes from quantitative change to qualitative change again, the cultivator will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

“So far.”

“After that, you will be able to ascend to heaven and achieve the true great way.”

Master Yao Congyang's words caused all the disciples, including Xie Shen, to show infinite yearning on their faces.

All things in the world.

I only want longevity

...

At the same time, Xie Shen's consciousness was sinking into the statue world.

In the world of the fallen, on the star of the vast sea.

The Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator Qian Xiaqing and the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator Lian Yu were currently above the clouds, overlooking the vast crowd of living beings kneeling on the ground.

But see the front row of the mortal team.

A noble man wearing a Tongtian crown and a robe with a dragon pattern on it was trying to persuade Qian Xiaqing and the others to stay.

"In addition to delicacies from land and sea, and aged wines."

"I have also specially arranged more than ten maids to serve the two immortals."

"Those girls are all virgins and have been carefully selected. They are all very pretty."

"If you two immortals don't mind, how about you stay in my imperial city for one more night?"

talking.

The emperor suddenly waved his hand again and ordered a trusted confidant to present the tray that had been prepared long ago.

Can see:

On the tray were rows of gold and silver ingots, various agates and jades, and several colorful gems the size of goose eggs.

The emperor held the tray with his right hand and said to Qian, Xia, and Qing: "Even if you two immortals really don't want to stay in the imperial city, at least take away these gold, silver, and gems, so that I can show my sincerity."

Above the clouds.

Seeing the mortal emperor on the Vast Sea Star was so enthusiastic, Qian Xiaqing smiled at him and said, "Our purpose of coming to the mortal world this time is just to preach the Taoism and collect some incense and faith from the mortal world."

"Now that the mission has been completed, there is naturally no need to stay any longer."

"So there's no need to stay overnight."

"As for the yellow and white things that Your Majesty prepared for us."

Qian Xiaqing stroked his long beard and said in feigned anger, "You prepared these money-smelling things for us. Do you look down on the two of us?"

"Don't dare!"

After hearing the dissatisfaction in Qian Xiaqing's tone, the emperor lowered his head in fear and trepidation, not daring to look him in the eye again.

Seeing his attitude, Qian Xiaqing softened his tone a little.

"I think you just did something unintentional."

"I won't pursue this further."

"Take back all the gold and silver!"

"Yes!" the emperor responded quickly.

I have already stole the limelight and had enough fun.

Qian Xiaqing said finally.

"Then I'll leave right away."

"If there are any important matters in the future, just burn incense and pray, and we in the fairy world will respond!"

On top of the mountain.

Seeing Qian Xiaqing about to leave, the emperor knelt down and bowed again, saying loudly: "Farewell, Immortal!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others immediately followed suit.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Farewell, Immortal."

Amidst thunderous cheers, Qian Xiaqing waved his hand to summon a teleportation formation, and disappeared from it together with Lian Yu.

After a while, the world was spinning.

When the surrounding scenery gradually became clear from blurry, Qian Xiaqing and Lian Yu both appeared in the Tower of Laws in Perfect City.

"How about it?"

Qian Xiaqing walked out of the teleportation array of the Tower of Laws and said to Lian Yu behind him.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Although the technology on the Vast Ocean Star is backward, there is nothing interesting to do."

"But most of the emperors on this planet are obsessed with the path to immortality like crazy."

"So when we, the Divine Transformation cultivators, go to this planet, we are usually treated with the highest standards."

"It can be regarded as the ultimate spiritual enjoyment." "Indeed." Lian Yu nodded and said, "It's a pity that fellow Daoist Xie Shen is not lucky enough to enjoy it with the two of us this time."

"Hey." Qian Xiaqing waved his hand and said indifferently: "There is a long way to go."

"It's normal for him to not know the benefits since he's new here."

"Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

...

Conversation room.

As usual, Qian Xiaqing and others strolled to the workshop where the bronze statues were stored to check if there was anything wrong with them.

"Ok?"

After arriving at the workshop.

Seeing Xie Shen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in front of the bronze statue, Qian Xiaqing exclaimed softly, "What is Daoist Xie Shen doing?"

Out of curiosity, Qian Xiaqing said, and instinctively wanted to get closer to Xie Shenshen.

But before he could take a step forward, Lian Yu grabbed him from behind.

I only heard Lian Yu say beside me: "Xia Qing, look carefully. Xie Shen seems to have set up a spiritual light formation at the spot."

"It really is!"

After Lian Yu's reminder, Qian Xiaqing discovered that there was indeed a translucent barrier at the location where Xie Shen was.

The barrier enveloped Xie Shen and the bronze statue.

Qian Xiaqing said after observing for a moment.

"This formation does look like a spiritual light formation."

"But why does this spiritual light array have a faint scarlet color?"

"Normally speaking, shouldn't the aura array be golden?"

this.
Lian Yu thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this formation is probably a variant of the Spirit Light Formation, and its defensive capabilities are far superior to those of the ordinary Spirit Light Formation. Judging from this alone, Daoist Xie Shen is quite accomplished in formation techniques."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaqing stroked his long beard and said, "So, what is the purpose of Brother Xie Shen setting up this variant of the spiritual light array?"

"Could it be that he is planning to take the bronze statue?"

It was as if to confirm what Qian Xiaqing said.

As soon as he said this, alarm bells rang throughout the workshop.

Along with the sound of the alarm, there was also the sound of noisy footsteps in the corridor outside.

"It's bad! Things have gotten out of hand!" Seeing that the situation suddenly became strange, Qian Xiaqing said with a hint of entanglement: "Right now, should we help Brother Xie Shen to protect the law, or should we just stay out of this matter and be a bystander?"

"Need I say more?" Lian Yu said without hesitation: "I'm sure he'll just be watching the show."

"After all, Xie Shen has only been in the Tower of Law for a short time, and we don't have much friendship with him."

"Why would you risk protecting him?"

"That's true." Qian Xiaqing nodded and said no more.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, he turned around and pretended to leave with Lian Yu.

This moment.

All I heard was a voice without any emotion, suddenly coming from the workshop.

"You two stay here."

"Just listen to me."

The person who spoke was Li Xiu, who was far away in the Aldebaran star system.

In order to attract the attention of Qian Xiaqing and the others, he said something shocking as soon as he opened his mouth: "I have a way to help you two escape from this Law Tower."

Li Xiu's words did serve to attract attention.

Hearing what he said, Qian Xiaqing and Lian Yu both stopped.

Following the source of the sound, both of them focused their eyes on the combat power detector hanging on Xie Shen's left eye.

Qian Xiaqing, one of the two, asked Li Xiu tentatively, "Who are you?"

Li Xiu answered truthfully: "I am the master of the Aldebaran star system, the commander of the Human Alliance, and also Xie Shen's best friend."

Qian Xiaqing went straight to the point and asked, "You just said that you can help us escape from the Law Tower. Is it true or false?"

"Fidelity."

Li Xiu said in a calm tone.

"But before that, I need you to do me a favor."

"As you can see, Xie Shen and I are planning to take the bronze statue."

"In order to find out the secret hidden inside the statue, I asked Xie Shen to take the risk and probe his spiritual sense into the statue."

"But I didn't expect that statue to be so powerful."

"Xie Shen's consciousness had just entered the interior of the statue when he was immediately confused by it."

"Now he has lost himself in the spiritual world inside the statue." At this point, Li Xiuchong and the others asked, "In order to rescue Xie Shen, I would like to trouble one of you to follow him into the statue and try to wake Xie Shen up."

In the work room.

While Li Xiu was talking to Qian Xiaqing, the security personnel who had heard the alarm and came to the rescue had gathered outside the workshop.

This put Qian Xiaqing and Lian Yu in a dilemma.

Undecided, Lian Yu said to Qian Xiaqing, who was slightly older than him, "Brother, why don't you make the decision?"

"Give me a definite answer: Should we help or not?"

Qian Xiaqing gently stroked his long beard.

He analyzed very quickly.

"First of all, one thing that can be confirmed is that as a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, Brother Xie Shen is definitely not a fool."

"Since he dared to take the bronze statue, it means that he must have some backup plans."

"If we can wake him up, he might be able to lead us out of this tower."

"Let's take a step back."

"Even if we fail and fail to wake him, our lives will not be in danger."

"After all, the management of Perfect City still needs our help."

"So even if we really help Xie Shen, even if we fail and get caught, the management of Perfect City won't do anything to us!"

Makes sense.
In the work room.

After listening to Qian Xiaqing's analysis, Lian Yu nodded in agreement.

at the same time.

Qian Xiaqing suddenly changed the subject and continued, "But the problem is..."

"Since Xie Shen has reached the late stage of Spiritual Transformation, his consciousness will be trapped inside the statue."

"Then wouldn't it be easier for us, who are only at the initial stage of the Spiritualization Realm, to be fooled by the statue?"

After this analysis, he finally gave his conclusion.

"In view of this, I think saving Xie Shen is too risky."

"If our consciousness is really trapped in the statue, the consequences will be 100 times more serious than offending the top leaders of Perfect City."

"This is no joke!"

Makes sense.
In the work room.

After seeing Qian Xiaqing analyze the unfavorable side, Lian Yu couldn't help but nodded again.

He said, "So, brother, you mean you don't plan to help Xie Shen anymore?"

"Hey"

Qian Xiaqing suddenly smiled slyly.

He looked at the combat power detector hanging on Xie Shen's ear and said meaningfully, "Whether to help or not depends on whether Xie Shen and his friends have any other cards."

"You want the trump card, right?" Li Xiu said directly at the critical moment.

"I'll just say two things."

"First, Xie Shen is not a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage. He has the cultivation base of the Fusion Stage."

"Second, I have a spiritual power amplifier that can directly increase the strength of a cultivator's spiritual consciousness by 3-5 times."

"This amplifier can ensure your safety in the spiritual world of the statue."
