At first, he thought it was because of his breakthrough, or because Xiao Zhi and Gu Xixue became the Heart of the World, that caused the changes.
But judging from the mountain lord's reaction, there are people in the Heavenly Realm who know about the concept of reincarnation, but they are definitely not Great Emperors.
"Since you even know about reincarnation, it seems you have some understanding of this path."
With a flick of his wrist, the mountain lord conjured a common spiritual herb from his hand.
"Tell me, what is needed for this spiritual herb to exist for a long time?"
"vitality."
"good."
The mountain lord nodded, flicked his finger, and a wisp of life flowed into the spiritual herb.
As a result, the spiritual herb visibly grew stronger and stronger until it reached the size of a person, at which point its vitality slowly dissipated.
But now, the spirit herb possessed the vitality that it had previously possessed.
"In contrast, death energy can cause this spiritual herb to perish."
As he spoke, the Mountain Lord waved his long sleeves, and a jet-black mist surged out, enveloping the spiritual herb.
In just a few seconds, the once vibrant spiritual herb had withered and died, its entire body shrouded in an aura of death that was difficult to dispel.
At the same time, Su Bai keenly sensed that something on this spiritual herb seemed to suddenly vanish at that moment.
Although he couldn't find out exactly what had vanished, he knew that what had disappeared must have been the very soul of this spiritual herb.
Spiritual herbs possess a spirit, and when their vitality dissipates, they are unable to maintain their own life force and that of their soul. Therefore, they can only dissipate in this way.
Just like a person who has died.
"You should have sensed it by now. This spiritual herb is dead. Both its own vitality and its inner soul have been completely extinguished."
Su Bai nodded.
"But now, do you think that if I give it a new lease on life, it could come back to life?"
That's all.
Before Su Bai could answer, Shan Jun raised his hand, and a stream of vitality poured down from his palm, forming a white mist that enveloped the spiritual herb in an instant.
With the influx of life, this withered and dead herb seemed to receive a long-awaited rain after a drought. Under the influence of this life force, the previously withered leaves gradually began to show signs of green!
And these touches of green are like an invisible call; as soon as they appear, the withered and dead herb turns green at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It took less than a minute for the entire herb to turn green!
but,
Su Bai could sense that although the spiritual herb in front of him had returned to its previous appearance, it had no soul and was just an empty shell.
"Now, this spiritual herb has come back to life, but it has no soul. So, to revive it, we need to find its soul."
"If you could say those things before, then you should also be able to think of this. So the way to resurrection that you seek should be the way to find the soul, or to condense the soul, right?"
Su Bai nodded.
"The power of life, the power of death, and the soul are the most basic conditions for a person to be resurrected."
"Furthermore, to truly resurrect a person, besides these, memories are also required. What kind of person is a soul without memories if you want to resurrect them?"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the mountain lord waved his hand, and a divine soul was poured into the spiritual herb.
At this moment, the spiritual herb regained its former vitality and became a truly resurrected being.
“I intercepted its soul from the beginning, and with its existing body, I could easily revive it. But what you need to pursue is the path of resurrection without a soul or a body. This involves too many things. Not to mention a Great Emperor like you, even a Half-Saint, a Pseudo-Saint, or even a True Saint cannot master it all.”
"And you, right now, are just a Great Emperor. Even if you are powerful and physically strong, do you think you have enough vitality to nourish your body?"
Su Bai remained silent.
He is currently only at the Great Emperor level, and when it comes to the use of life force, he can only burn it to transform it into power to make himself stronger, unlike the Mountain Lord who can easily transfer it to other living beings.
"The life force within you is your lifespan. Do you think that with your limited lifespan, it's enough to resurrect the person you want to resurrect?"
"Moreover, they don't even know how to use the power of life."
"You don't even know the first step of this path to resurrection, let alone pursue the supreme path of seeking the soul, condensing the soul, and even intercepting memories?"
Please clarify.
Su Bai's gaze was sincere, and just as he was about to bow, Shan Jun suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him.
"Do not bow to me. The fact that you have come here is enough to show that you are of extraordinary character. I will speak freely without reservation."
As he spoke, the mountain king paused, turned around, and looked up at the towering mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds. There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
"The world is vast, and there is so much that cannot be found. Who knows that above this mountain there is another mountain? The building is taller than the mountain, and there is a mountain within the building. A mountain stands below the building, which is a perilous place, yet it can still be climbed. But a mountain rises from the building, which is a constraint on the heart. How can one reach the summit?"
Therefore, if you wish to climb this insurmountable mountain, you must look inward.
"Look inward?"
Su Bai's gaze sharpened; his extraordinary comprehension instantly reminded him of the talent he had overlooked recently—
That soldier, Blood Devouring the Sky, was upgraded from an E-rank Blood Explosion to an SSSS-rank!
This talent originally could only absorb spiritual energy from cultivation, but as the level increases, it can now absorb other talents, and now it can even absorb divine soul power!
If we continue to upgrade in this way, will we be able to absorb the power of life?
Thinking of this, Su Bai suddenly realized what was happening!
He originally thought that when he advanced to the Great Emperor realm, he used the power of living beings in the world. He thought that such a talent could only be used to increase his cultivation, because the absorption of cultivation and even the critical strike multiplier were not bad. So he ignored the upgrade of this talent.
Little did he know that this talent was an indispensable part of the path he sought!
"It seems you know what to do."
Shan Jun nodded in satisfaction, then took out an ancient book and handed it to Su Bai.
"This item is the method for creating a human body. If you wish to resurrect the person you desire, you can begin preparations now."
