"Su Nian, you've conspired with the demon clan, murdered fellow disciples, and the evidence is conclusive. Yet you still refuse to repent! For the sake of your contributions to the sect, we...
About two incense sticks in advance.
It wouldn't work if Si Qiushan alone used the Seven Star Resurrection Technique, since Qian Weiwei's cultivation level was too high. Even if she cut off a portion of her own cultivation to cooperate with Si Qiushan, there was still a considerable gap between the two.
Fortunately, Mo Rouyun possessed a unique immortal technique that allowed the two to temporarily share their cultivation levels, which gave Si Qiushan the ability to revive Qian Weiwei.
From the morning onwards, the three of them sat on the ground, placed the female corpse in the wooden coffin, and formed a triangle. Mo Rouyun acted as the medium connecting Su Nian and Si Qiushan to begin this resurrection ritual.
Time passed second by second, and it was late at night when the Seven Star Resurrection Technique was finally successfully performed.
Si Qiushan's forehead was covered in fragrant sweat, and dense beads of sweat slid down her forehead, eventually running down her smooth neck and into her clothes, wetting her chest and back.
For a Mahayana cultivator to use the Seven Star Resurrection Technique on a former ninth-level Tribulation Transcending cultivator, even with the assistance of two powerful individuals at the half-step True Immortal level or above, it would still be an incredibly difficult task.
The resurrection using the Seven Star Resurrection Technique was extremely difficult this time. Not to mention Si Qiushan, even Su Nian felt the pressure.
However, his pressure did not come from a lack of spiritual energy, but from having to cooperate with Si Qiushan in the resurrection ritual with utmost care.
Si Qiushan was under too much pressure, and during the ceremony she would often lose her breath and seem on the verge of vomiting blood.
In order to protect Si Qiushan's safety, Su Nian had to adjust her spiritual energy output according to Si Qiushan's aura at any time to prevent any accidents from happening.
Even Qian Weiwei, inside Su Nian's body, was sweating bullets for them, watching intently, afraid that Si Qiushan wouldn't be able to hold on.
Meanwhile, Mo Rouyun was using a secret technique to soften the spiritual energy between the two of them, while simultaneously absorbing extreme yin energy from outside the window and manipulating the mountain spring in the immortal realm to release extreme yang energy.
Gradually, Qian Weiwei's soul began to separate from Su Nian's body.
Su Nian automatically released the seal, and Qian Weiwei's soul gradually emerged from his body, eventually falling into the wooden coffin and lying inside the female corpse's body.
After her soul finally overlapped with the female corpse, the exhausting Seven Star Resurrection Technique was finally completed.
The moment the Seven Star Resurrection Technique was completed, Si Qiushan could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed forward with a thud.
Su Nian reacted quickly and hugged him tightly. At this moment, his forehead was covered with a lot of fine sweat.
"Qiu Shan? Qiu Shan?"
He held Si Qiushan in his arms and, seeing that she was unconscious, called out to her softly.
He reached out and felt Si Qiushan's pulse. He found that she was just lacking spiritual energy and was not seriously injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's alright, it's just overexertion. I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Su Nian said with a sigh of relief.
Compared to Su Nian and Si Qiushan, Mo Rouyun was much more at ease.
She came up behind the two of them and hugged them both at the same time.
"Nian'er, you must be very tired too?" she asked softly.
Su Nian rubbed her temples. "I'm fine. Although I've been somewhat exhausted, it's not much. I'll be fully recovered in just one night."
"Okay, then you should get some rest tonight. Don't meditate anymore. I'll take Qiu Shan back." Mo Rouyun said softly to Su Nian.
Su Nian glanced at Si Qiushan, then at Mo Rouyun who seemed to have no energy depletion whatsoever, and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection).
Sure enough, although he was already a half-step True Immortal, there was still a considerable gap between him and a true True Immortal.
"In that case, I'll leave Qiu Shan in your care," Su Nian said, nodding to Mo Rouyun.
Mo Rouyun gave a soft "hmm," then picked Si Qiushan up in her arms and instructed Su Nian, "You should also get some rest. Given your level of exertion, you should be able to recover in just one night. Always keep yourself in top condition and don't overwork yourself."
"I see."
Su Nian also stood up. He glanced at the female corpse still in the coffin. Although the possession of the body had been completed, Qian Weiwei showed no signs of waking up.
"When will she wake up?" Su Nian asked.
Mo Rouyun glanced at the wooden coffin and said, "She has only just merged with this body. We still need to modify this body to match her soul."
"I see..." Su Nian nodded, pondering, "Then doesn't that mean... her appearance might change?"
Mo Rouyun smiled and said, "The original owner of this female corpse was Qian Weiwei's otherworldly counterpart. Even if she has changed, how much can she change? Don't worry, just close the coffin to prevent the leakage of yin and yang spiritual energy. By tomorrow morning, she will be a lively and energetic Qian Weiwei."
"I see. That's good. Since we've already decided to deal with the Ghost Immortal, we should naturally have as many top experts as possible. Qian Weiwei has good talent. If she can also be baptized by the spring water of the Immortal Realm, she should also have a chance to become an immortal."
Mo Rouyun nodded. "Yes, you're right. The Immortal Realm has become dilapidated. Not to mention Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors, there are hardly any True Immortals left. If we want to fight against the Ghost Immortals, we must cultivate new True Immortals."
Su Nian was taken aback. "Has the Immortal Realm become this dire?"
Mo Rouyun then realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly shut her mouth.
Su Nian sighed, "If that's the case, why did you do it in the first place? You nurtured the Ghost Immortal, yet it has caused such a huge backlash."
"Um... actually, the initial idea of cultivating the Ghost Immortal was also for the good of the Immortal Realm," Mo Rouyun said weakly.
Su Nian glanced at Mo Rouyun and asked, "Is there an even bigger problem than the Ghost Immortal?"
