Chapter 724: Rebirth in the Sky
"The world is changing so fast that we old-fashioned people can hardly keep up with the times." Nangong Shirong looked up at the countdown to "fourteen" appearing on the sky and sighed.
Xu Bai stood behind him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. Who would have thought that an immortal who could reverse the laws of heaven and earth would suddenly appear without any warning."
"It's so mysterious that we can't find any trace of it. It's really unbelievable."
"Even if he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is impossible for him to just appear out of thin air." Xu Bai said in a dark voice.
Nangong Shirong nodded slightly: "So now people outside are speculating that this [Rebirth Heavenly Venerable] is very likely an ancient cultivator who has survived the catastrophe until now."
"Just like you." Nangong Shirong glanced at Xu Bai and said slowly.
Xu Bai lowered his head in deep thought: "An ancient cultivator..."
As for the true identity of this [Rebirth Heavenly Venerable], all the cultivators in the world were extremely curious. However, after such a long time of digging, not a single bit of information about him was leaked.
After all, there are only so many Taoists in the Immortal Alliance. If no suitable candidate can be found after eliminating them one by one, then it is very likely that this newly promoted Heavenly Venerable came from ancient times and has been hidden in the mist, observing and comprehending the principles of heaven and earth. It was not until recently that he succeeded in achieving enlightenment.
As for the fact that [Wangsheng Tianzun] is a cultivator from the Five Elders Association...
The recent frequent actions of the Five Elders Association have denied this assumption.
First, the official issued a message to congratulate the birth of the new Heavenly Lord. Then, all the monks who were originally on a friendly visit in the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals were quickly recalled. In the border areas, all the living forces retreated...
Obviously, the Five Elders are still very wary of the birth of this new powerful immortal.
"Lord City Lord, do you think that under the protection of the power of [God of Rebirth], cultivators can really be resurrected after their death?" After a long silence, Xu Bai suddenly asked.
"Personally, I am skeptical about this. Although the power of the Heavenly Venerable is awe-inspiring, the matter of [resurrection] is still too mysterious." Nangong Shirong shook his head and said, "Even if it can be realized, I am afraid it must meet certain conditions. If a cultivator has died without a complete body and his soul has been scattered, in this case, wanting to resurrect..."
Nangong Shirong snorted coldly: "Not to mention the Immortal Lord of Immortality, even the legendary Daluo Jinxian would probably be powerless."
"But the truth will be revealed in fourteen days. You and I just need to wait patiently."
Upon hearing this, Xu Bai focused his eyes on the numbers in the sky that were visible to everyone.
The font is black and white, flowing and floating quietly in the sky. According to the official statement of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the digital countdown represents the progress of [Wangsheng Tianzun]'s reversal of reason.
When the countdown reaches zero, the principles of life and death in the Xuanhuang Realm will be completely reversed.
The time will come when everyone can be resurrected.
"Let's see what this [Goddess of Rebirth] can do." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, took out his folding fan and fanned it gently.
As the countdown in the sky of Xuanhuang Realm is constantly decreasing.
Lan Yu, the loser in the argument against reason, did not seem to be willing to accept his fate.
Instead of stopping the reward for the longevity treasure, the stakes were increased.
Even the "Tiandu Huayu Gong" that he practiced was taken out as a reward.
It seems that Lan Yu is trying his best to delay the arrival of his own death.
However, the Heavenly Lord of Rebirth had no intention of letting him go.
When the countdown reached "one", the strange phenomenon of the silent and unexpected fall of a Hedao monk suddenly appeared in the sky above Yuandao Province.
"Lan Yu, a cultivator of the Hedao Sect, any cultivator of the Dao..."
Unlike the sorrow of heaven and earth that Li Fan had seen in previous lives, perhaps because Lan Yu had done something against the laws of heaven and earth in this life, a strange image of falling appeared in the sky, just like the monks of the new method.
However, this scene had just appeared not long ago, and all the monks in Yuandaozhou had not yet reacted.
The countdown numbers on the sky of Xuanhuang Realm turned into black and white air and headed straight for Yuandaozhou.
While covering up the strange phenomenon of Lan Yu's fall, the number also instantly dropped from "one" to zero.
The entire Xuanhuang Realm was trembling slightly, as if some miraculous changes were taking place.
When the sky became clear again, all the cultivators could vaguely see an ancient and solemn mansion emerging on the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm.
"Palace of the Past".
The three big characters on the plaque of the mansion are clearly visible.
Information about the resurrection of [Goddess of Rebirth] naturally came to mind for all the cultivators who saw the Palace of Rebirth.
Under the cover of the Palace of Rebirth, all cultivators will have a bit of their true spirit thrown into the Palace of Rebirth when they die.
After waiting for eighteen years of reincarnation, the true soul carrying the cultivator's memories can return to the world from the Palace of Rebirth.
If you have a physical body prepared for yourself in advance, you can directly throw yourself into it.
If one dies hastily and without time to prepare, then he will be reborn randomly in the body of a newly born creature in the Xuanhuang Realm.
…
After seeing the details of the Palace of Rebirth, the cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm were suddenly in an uproar.
They didn't expect that the so-called "resurrection" was actually true.
However, this method of resurrection was a bit beyond their acceptance.
Survival and reproduction are human instincts.
If the road ahead seems hopeless, perhaps we can place our hopes on the next generation for the future.
But according to the rules of [Rebirth Palace], the newborn baby that the family cherishes as a treasure may actually be possessed by the body of a cultivator who died eighteen years ago...
What’s the difference between this and taking over someone else’s body?
Who can guarantee that the monk who died back then and has now been resurrected has any grudge against him?
What would you do if you raised a newborn baby with great difficulty, but he turned around and stabbed you when he grew up?
How ridiculous is it that everything you have accumulated will be given to an "outsider" in the future?
The operation of the Rebirth Palace was obviously contrary to the ethical values of today's cultivators. The Xuanhuang cultivators simply could not accept it for a while.
Fortunately, more detailed instructions from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance soon arrived.
In the afterlife, the true spirit only retains the memories of the previous life. The emotions of love, hate, and resentment from the previous life will all be washed away. When looking back on the experience of the previous life, it is like a dream. There will not be too much substitution.
Moreover, when the true spirit came back to the world, it did not directly take over the body. Instead, the two merged with each other. The essence of life did not change, but only gained a memory of the "previous life".
…
After the explanation, although the cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm still had resistance in their hearts, they knew that the trend was unstoppable and the principles of the Heavenly Venerable could not be violated.
Whether they like it or not, they can only choose to accept it silently.
As a result, heated discussions about "rebirth" and "resurrection" slowly unfolded in various places in the Xuanhuang Realm.
