Chapter 328 Conditions for Resurrection

"resurrection?!"

Upon seeing the three characters on the rock face, Gu Yuan gasped in surprise.

He turned his head sharply, his gaze fixed on the ice crystal coffin beside him, his eyes filled with shock and realization.

No wonder!
No wonder he was able to detect a faint trace of life in the body inside the ice coffin when he used his soul power to investigate!
At the time, he only thought that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's cultivation was so great that his body could be preserved for a long time. He never thought that this was a backup plan specially prepared for resurrection!

Resurrection! This is simply an unheard-of fantasy in the history of the Dou Qi Continent!
Even the most powerful warriors, with their long lifespans, cannot escape the cycle of life and death!
But the Pure Lotus Demon Saint actually dared to break the rules of heaven and earth, using his broken body as a foundation to return to the world!

Gu Yuanqiang suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his gaze returning to the rock wall as he carefully studied the subsequent text, eager to know the specific details of this resurrection method.

"To live a second life... It sounds incredible, but if I can complete my plan, it is not impossible."

Because during my lifetime, I made extensive arrangements for my body and soul.

My body is sealed with the Illusionary Dream Ice Condensate Liquid, which I spent a thousand years collecting and refining from the ancient ice of the far north.

It can both preserve the vitality of the body and isolate it from the energy of heaven and earth, preventing others from damaging it, thus storing my physical body here intact.

The soul then transformed into a phantom image and entered the ancient painting of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame to slumber.

That ancient diagram was crafted by me using the essence of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and the power of my soul. It serves as both a storage container and a place for the soul to reside.

To prevent the ancient map from being easily obtained by one person, I divided it into four parts and scattered them in four hidden corners of the Dou Qi Continent. One of them was left here, accompanying my corpse.

Junior, if you can find a ninth-grade golden pill, use its vast medicinal power to awaken my physical body.

Finding the complete Ancient Map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame allowed my scattered soul images to reunite.

Finally, I offered up the soul of an Emperor Realm expert to nourish my soul with its immense soul power, replenishing the damage caused by a thousand years of slumber.

"When all three are gathered, all the conditions for my resurrection will be met, allowing me to break free from the shackles of life and death, be reborn, return to the Dou Qi Continent, fulfill my duty of atonement, and confront the Dragon-Phoenix Child!"

"So demanding..."

Gu Yuan's expression was extremely solemn.

Each of these resurrection conditions is incredibly difficult, and having all three together makes it even more challenging!

In this world, alchemists specializing in ninth-grade golden pills have long since disappeared. Even in ancient times, ninth-grade golden pills were extremely rare treasures. To obtain one now is simply a pipe dream.

As for the Emperor Realm Soul, there is one readily available... The most troublesome thing is to collect four Ancient Maps of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!
He now has one, but the remaining three are scattered in various corners of the Dou Qi Continent.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint left no clues; heaven knows where they are hidden or who they have fallen into.

To collect them all would likely take hundreds, even thousands of years, which is simply unattainable for him, who is currently being hunted down.

A sense of powerlessness rose in Gu Yuan's heart. The method of resurrecting the Pure Lotus Demon Saint seemed to offer hope, but in reality, it was no different from a mirage and was impossible to achieve.

"I am filled with emotion as I write this."

My life, from a commoner to a semi-emperor, has been a glorious one, sweeping across the continent without ever being defeated.

In the end, he neither reached the Emperor Realm nor caused a massacre of millions due to his obsession, ultimately achieving nothing. Fortunately, he was enlightened by the Sword Emperor, finally regaining his true self and knowing why he should live the rest of his life.

However, I am ultimately not as wise as the Sword Emperor, who has the wisdom to plan for eternity.

I cannot, like the Sword Emperor, retain my own consciousness to accurately select my successor.

It is also uncertain whether those who come to this place will arrive at the time of the birth of the Dragon-Phoenix Child; or whether they are kind-hearted individuals who wish to protect humanity...

Furthermore, it's impossible to be certain whether my method of resurrection will be exploited by villains, aiding and abetting evil and unleashing an even greater catastrophe...

Fortunately, the Sword Emperor taught me a demon-slaying sword technique, which I studied day and night and eventually mastered.

I used sword techniques to create an array, infusing the demon-slaying sword intent into every inch of the tomb's rocks, setting up the Emperor's Corner Killing Array!
This formation is specifically designed to kill beastmen. Whenever a beastman steps into the tomb's area, the formation will automatically sense it, triggering the ultimate sword intent that will instantly kill him, leaving no trace of his body!
Therefore, anyone who can break through the outer sword intent barrier and arrive here must be of human origin. I can be certain of that…” Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan was suddenly startled.

There are even formations inscribed inside this tomb?!
He lingered in the tomb for a long time, but never noticed any fluctuations in the array. If it weren't for the Pure Lotus Demon Saint mentioning it himself, he would probably still be in the dark!

Gu Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed violently, and the remaining soul power in his body surged out without reservation, spreading outwards like a tide!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

After carefully sensing everything around him, he finally noticed something was wrong!

Hidden within the rock walls surrounding the tomb chamber are countless exquisitely detailed sword-based array patterns! The patterns blend perfectly with the rock, as if they were naturally formed there.

When his soul power touched it, a sharp and unparalleled sword intent would emanate from the array pattern. Although it was only a corner, it carried the pressure of an Emperor Realm expert, making his soul tremble slightly!

"terrible……"

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Gu Yuan's heart.

Even though he is seriously injured and his soul perception has declined, the fact that he could set up this killing formation so secretly that even he could not detect it shows that this Pure Lotus Demon Saint is truly terrifying!
No wonder he didn't encounter any magical beasts or orc pursuers along the way. It wasn't just good luck, but the merit of this killing formation!

"If the Pure Lotus Demon Saint were truly resurrected, with his cultivation as a half-Emperor, he would probably completely rewrite the political landscape of the entire Dou Qi Continent!"

"Young man, having read this far, you should already know why I left behind the tomb and the method of resurrection."

I don't know if the Dragon-Phoenix Child has already appeared in your era.

If he has already been born, and humanity is in imminent danger, that would be for the best.

You only need to follow my instructions to collect the ninth-grade golden pill, the complete ancient map, and the soul of an emperor to revive me.

At that time, I will dedicate my life to fighting alongside you against the Dragon-Phoenix Child and protecting the human race.

If he has not yet been born, and the time is not yet ripe, you should leave quickly, as if you had never been here. Leave the secret of this tomb to the destined person when the dragon-phoenix child is born.

And if you dare to harbor evil intentions and attempt to resurrect me for wicked purposes, aiding and abetting evildoers and harming living beings...

The first thing I will do after my resurrection is to tear you to pieces, scatter your soul, and condemn you to eternal damnation!

The last paragraph was written with a chilling, bone-chilling killing intent that seemed to pierce through the rock wall and strike straight at the heart, even across countless ages!

Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his apprehension towards the Pure Lotus Demon Saint grew even stronger.

Resurrecting the Pure Lotus Demon Saint...

This thought kept swirling in Gu Yuan's mind, leaving him in a dilemma.

The Dragon-Phoenix Prince's power is immense, and he is now relentlessly pursuing him. Even in his prime, he would never be a match for the Dragon-Phoenix Prince.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint is a peerless powerhouse at the level of a half-emperor. Once resurrected, he will surely possess the strength to contend with the Son of the Dragon and Phoenix.

If we can use his power, we can not only resolve the current crisis, but also avenge the ancient clan, and even find those two Origin Qi to break through to the Emperor Realm!
However, at the same time, the risks are also enormous.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint harbors goodwill towards the Sword Emperor's successor. If one day the successor learns of his grudge against Xiao Jibai, Gu Yuan doesn't believe the Pure Lotus Demon Saint will stand on his side.

"So be it. The three fragments of the map are scattered in all directions, leaving no clues. The matter of resurrection is ultimately a distant dream."

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Yuan decided to put the ice coffin next to him into his storage ring.

Although he hadn't decided whether to help the Pure Lotus Demon Saint revive, holding onto this ice coffin was definitely the right thing to do, at least... it couldn't fall into the hands of others!
"For me, the biggest gain so far is the Emperor's Corner Killing Formation here."

Gu Yuan's gaze swept across the surrounding rock walls, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The array left behind by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is specifically designed to kill beastmen. With the protection of this array, he can heal his wounds here in peace without worrying about being disturbed by the beastmen pursuers.
