My Endless Life.

Chapter 631 Resurrection
A peerless genius has emerged from the Thousand Star Immortal Sect at some unknown time.

This matter spread throughout the entire cultivation world in less than two days.

Those who know the details of the Thousand Star Immortal Sect are well aware that this is just a young master from a certain family in the Myriad Star Realm Empire coming here for a visit.

Those who didn't know would only think that the Thousand Star Immortal Sect had really produced an unparalleled genius who was not even twenty years old!
Cultivating immortality is something that requires a lot of time.

Normally, it would take an ordinary cultivator about two thousand years to go from Qi Refining to Mahayana, and that's only for those with exceptional talent.

If he were the kind of 'lucky one' who has no talent, exists only in theory, and only manages to break through by chance at the end of his lifespan, then it would probably take him tens of thousands of years to cultivate to the Mahayana stage.

Qi Refining grants a lifespan of 150 years, Foundation Establishment grants 300 years, Golden Elixir grants 500 years, and Nascent Soul grants 1,000 years.

To break through half of one's lifespan limit is to be a genius; to break through one-tenth of one's lifespan is to be an unparalleled genius.

However, if a prodigy like the one from the Thousand Star Immortal Sect were to advance to the Mahayana stage before the age of twenty... this is something that only those with exceptional talent and nurtured by the sect with countless resources could achieve.

The fact that the Thousand Star Immortal Sect had quietly cultivated such a prodigy led some sects, unaware of the truth, to begin conspiracy theories, believing that the Thousand Star Immortal Sect was plotting something.

However, the sects that knew the inside story sent a visiting card to the Thousand Star Immortal Sect, wanting to meet this young master who came here to gain experience.

However, neither conspiracy theorists nor those who wanted to visit the 'prodigy' of the Thousand Star Immortal Sect were able to meet this 'prodigy'.

This prodigy seems to have secluded himself since arriving at the Thousand Star Immortal Sect, refusing to see anyone.

I don't know what they're doing.

……

"Yes, put these spirit marrows over there, and fix these nodes in place, yes, yes..."

Li Qi, who had already become a topic of conversation in the Cangxuan Realm, was currently in the manor provided to him by the Thousand Star Immortal Sect, directing the group of Yate to set up an array for him.

He himself sat in the center of the formation, holding the spiritual essence unique to the Cangxuan Realm, silently absorbing its energy.

The common currency in the Cangxuan Realm, just like in the cultivation novels Li Qi had read, is spirit stones.

However, there are different types of spirit stones. Those who cultivate Qi and establish Foundation usually use low-grade spirit stones for transactions.

The Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation stages are divided into middle and high grades.

Upon reaching the Great Ascension stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, one acquires top-grade spirit stones and spirit crystals.

In the hands of true immortals, spiritual marrow became their primary currency. This layered structure perfectly matches the descriptions in those novels.

Spirit crystals and spirit marrow are not classified as superior, middle, or inferior; they are distinguished only by their size.

The spirit marrow in Li Qi's hand was pocket money given to him by the 'elders' of the Thousand Star Immortal Sect. Converted into spirit crystals, it was worth about tens of thousands, and converted into spirit stones, it was an even more enormous sum.

There are reasons for such a huge gap.

The fundamental reason lies in the energy contained within it.

The energy contained within the spiritual essence is 'immortal spiritual energy,' which is energy that only powerful beings at the True Immortal realm or above can unleash and use.

This energy is highly versatile and can be used even in other worlds.

Most of the transactions between the Cangxuan Realm and the Wanxing Realm are conducted through this spiritual essence. As for the currency used in transactions between the Wanxing Realm and the Cangxuan Realm... it consists of rare materials that can only be produced in the Wanxing Realm.

These items are highly sought after in the Cangxuan Realm, and many high-level immortal artifacts have incorporated these materials.

In short, it was precisely because the spiritual marrow contained extremely large amounts of energy that Li Qi chose to use it as the energy source for this 'Soul Separation Array'.

The Soul Separation Formation is a key method used by the Soul Realm to search for smaller worlds and enhance one's own soul power within those smaller worlds.

The way that cultivators in the Soul Realm cultivate their soul power is not by following a set pattern. Instead, they project their souls into various small worlds to plunder the source of those small worlds, thereby enhancing themselves.

One of the ways they can project their souls to other worlds and return safely is through this Soul Separation Array.

The Soul Separation Array acts as a coordinate to guide the main body's soul, connecting it to the projection of the soul that has already separated from the body.

Once the main soul has completed its mission and successfully improved its strength, it can return at any time through this coordinate.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple to do.

This is similar to how game companies seek out smaller worlds to modify.

The only difference is that one uses a game engine with added technology, while the other uses a more fantastical formation.

They are essentially the same.

"Young Master, it's all set up here." Ate's voice came as Li Qi was absorbing the spiritual essence power.

Next up was Dia, who was always very easygoing: "I've got this sorted out too, boss!"

boom!
She had barely finished speaking when Sutina's iron fist slammed into her head without hesitation: "I told you, you should call him Your Highness. Here... you should call him Young Master or Young Master. If you still can't remember, you'd better go back now."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Dia rolled her eyes at Sutina. If she didn't know she couldn't beat Sutina, she probably would have already rushed up and started fighting her.

In fact, she had done it before, but each time she was knocked to the ground by Sutina, so Dia learned to be more sensible and only engage in verbal battles, avoiding physical violence whenever possible.

Li Qi ignored the interaction between Daiya and Sutina, his gaze sweeping over the formation. Only after confirming that nothing was missing did he nod to the others.
"Then I'll have to ask you to protect me."

"Young Master...this kind of thing..."

Ate hesitated. Li Qi smiled at him and said, "What? You still want to persuade me? You should know you can't change my mind."

"...I just feel a little unsafe."

"It's alright, it's similar to a game engine, and if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back soon, at the latest within a month."

Li Qi estimated the situation and comforted Yate.

Li Qi's current strength is at the sixth level. At the sixth level of soul power, some low-level small worlds are not of much help to him. He can only go to those medium-level small worlds.

However, these smaller worlds are generally very large, and their time flow ratio relative to that of the larger world will also decrease.

Originally, it would probably only take Li Qi less than a day to stay in the small world for a lifetime. Now, if Li Qi stays in the small world for a longer period of time, it will probably take more than ten days in the real world.

However, it shouldn't exceed a month at most.

After all, the world's size is what it is.

Because the journey would take a long time, Li Qi sought protection from others.

Or perhaps they were looking for someone to help them contact the outside world, so that Li Qi wouldn't disappear for a while and cause the people of the Thousand Star Immortal Sect to worry.

"Well then, I'll head out first."

Li Qi closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and poured his soul into the magic array, his consciousness gradually sinking in.

This time, the game engine is different from before.

Li Qi previously used game engines primarily to find a world he was familiar with.

But this time... Li Qi is looking for an unfamiliar world.

Without the need for reincarnation after death, Li Qi felt a faint sense of anticipation as he ventured into the unknown world.

……

Despair spreads across a world.

A host of demons, led by a demon king who wants to destroy the world, are wreaking havoc on this world.

Meanwhile, the only human heroes and saintess capable of defeating the Demon King were both killed in an internal conflict.

Humanity has lost the 'hope' they relied on to fight the Demon King and the monsters.

"It's all... because of that bastard!!"

After the capital was breached, a group of people were trapped in a relatively well-defended manor by monsters. One of them, unwilling to accept defeat, viciously kicked a corpse on the ground.

The man he kicked was named Milch Rags, the young master of the Rags Duke's family.

He was an absolute playboy, a notorious scoundrel who, having taken a liking to the Holy Maiden, constantly harassed and coerced her.

Even after being taught a lesson by the hero, she showed no remorse and resorted to underhanded tactics to attack the hero and threaten the saintess.

The capital city is now being contributed to, and this person deserves more than half of the credit!
If he hadn't framed the hero at the crucial moment, causing the king to imprison him and poison him so that he couldn't exert any of his strength, and hadn't also made the saintess uneasy and lose her usual composure... the capital city wouldn't have fallen so quickly, and these magical beasts wouldn't have been able to break through the capital city's defenses!

But there's no point in saying all this now!
The hero sacrificed himself, and the saintess, in order to protect the people, burned her life force to forcibly evacuate most of them. Now, it seems that many humans have survived, but in reality, they have lost all hope.

The hero has died, and it will be at least a decade before a new hero appears.

But in today's world... those ten-odd years are no longer possible.

"It's all because of him...because of him—!"

"Enough, Gil! Instead of desecrating their corpses, let's save our energy for fighting the Demon King's army. That way, at least we can die with some honor."

A heavily armored knight said in a muffled voice.

They were the last cover squad in the capital, 'suicide squads' left behind specifically to cover the evacuation of civilians.

But even though they were considered suicide soldiers, after everyone else had moved away, they still tried to survive. So they came here and met the culprits who had also been abandoned here.

The fear and despair of waiting to die here in the face of the Demon King's army, along with their anger at Milch for causing all this, made the group not even listen to his pleas for mercy before stabbing him to death with a single sword.

While it would be satisfying to kill them, as commoners, they didn't know how to operate the manor's protective magic array. Once the magic array shattered, only death awaited them.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely silent. As the demons piled up above, threatening to tear apart the defensive formation, an aura of despair enveloped everyone.

But amidst this despair, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, one that terrified them.

"I mean... can someone explain to me... what's going on here?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone's eyes widened.

They all looked toward Kiel, their gazes landing on the 'corpse' at Kiel's feet.

The corpse slowly sat up from the ground, his face calm and composed. His wounds were healing at a visible speed, and he looked at everyone with indifferent eyes.

Everyone who witnessed this scene held their breath at the same moment, and Gil scrambled back to the captain's side.

Because they had just killed the noble young master Milch...

Resurrected!
