Chapter 350 - 267: Earth Immortal Yuuntai (Part 2)
Su Xin indeed sensed it.
"So strong, but..."
"Seems like it’s not Ancestor Xuanzhen?"
Su Xin paused for a moment, then instantly teleported out from the headquarters building, flying straight up into the sky.
He saw a man with the appearance of a handsome young boy standing with a smile in the void, quietly watching him fly upward.
"Who are you?"
"Fellow Daoist, you must be Su Xin, right?"
Su Xin was momentarily stunned, but seeing the other party temporarily showing no hostility, he didn’t take the initiative to attack, lest he destroy this world.
He nodded, "Yes, and you are?"
"You can call me Yuuntai."
"Where do you come from? And why are you looking for me?"
"These questions... If you don’t mind, we can find a suitable place to chat slowly."
Su Xin was silent for a moment, then pointed downward:
"I’ll have someone arrange a meeting room, and we can sit down to talk."
"Okay."
The handsome youth nodded.
Su Xin moved his mind, communicated with Fang Dingqiang through the Life Talisman, and asked him to arrange a meeting room. Then the two came to the meeting room and sat down.
"Let me first briefly introduce myself. I am an Earth Immortal from Luotian Continent World. Last time, by accident, I saw you fighting with a Human Immortal and noticed your ability seemed very special."
"I initially wanted to capture you for research, but you escaped. So I took some time and managed to find this place."
Su Xin raised an eyebrow, using telekinesis to control the vibration of the air, producing a slightly annoyed voice:
"Was it you who tried to catch me last time?"
"Yes."
Yuuntai straightforwardly nodded in acknowledgment.
"Since you caught me for no reason last time, you became my enemy. So why are you talking to me nicely this time?"
"Because I discovered your abilities are very special, worthy of equal communication with me... According to your world culture, this behavior may seem somewhat unfriendly, but across the Ten Thousand Realms, such behavior is normal. The weak are just ants, only when I discover you have the qualifications to communicate equally do we have the necessity for normal communication."
Su Xin didn’t bother to delve into this issue. He also had many questions to ask the other party, so without waiting for the other party to inquire, he took the initiative to ask:
"You said you’re an Earth Immortal, is that the martial realm above Human Immortal? Are there even higher realms like Celestial Immortal or gods above that?"
"Yes, Earth Immortal is the realm above Human Immortal. There is indeed a Celestial Immortal Realm above that. As for whether there are even higher realms, I can tell you clearly — there are, but I don’t know exactly what they are for now."
"Then what are the Ten Thousand Realms you mentioned... exactly like? Are you and other strong ones above the Earth Immortal Realm able to freely traverse the Ten Thousand Realms?"
Yuuntai shook his head:
"You’ve asked me several questions. Now, it’s my turn to ask you, to make it fair, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Sure, go ahead and ask."
"You have infinite resurrection and various abilities. How did these abilities come about? Are there any limitations on resurrecting others?"
Su Xin said flatly, "I merely asked you some common knowledge, whereas you immediately delve into my secrets. Do you think that’s fair?"
Yuuntai chuckled, "How about this? I’ll only ask you one question and won’t touch on your deep secrets. As long as you carefully answer all my questions, I’ll tell you the common knowledge I know about the Ten Thousand Realms."
Su Xin thought for a moment, then agreed.
Yuuntai rephrased his question, "Exactly what limitations does your ability to resurrect others have? Can those whose souls are almost annihilated be revived?"
"I resurrect others in two ways."
Su Xin answered honestly:
"The first method is the Life Talisman. As long as I plant the Life Talisman in advance on others, I can resurrect them at any time after they die."
"The biggest flaw of this method is that the Life Talisman can only be planted when the target is still alive. If the target is already dead, they can’t be resurrected."
"I haven’t tested the resurrection limit yet. Currently, what is certain is, even if the body has defects at the time of death, it can be perfectly resurrected. As for cases like being smashed to pieces or soul annihilation, I’m not sure whether resurrection is possible."
"The second method is the Life Revival Ability."
"This is used when the target has already died, the limitations of resurrection are significant. If the death is due to illness or old age, even if reluctantly resurrected, they can only survive a little longer; they will still die eventually."
"The principle of this ability is to channel my own life force into the target, activating their life force and reviving them, much like spring rain activating the life of the earth."
"Based on this principle, if the target has been dead for a long time and the body has completely lost its vitality, much like a desert, even if the spring rain nourishes it for a long time, it cannot be revived."
"Since you have understood this world’s condition, you should be able to comprehend this analogy, right?"
Yuuntai nodded, "I understand... So, people whose souls are annihilated can’t be resurrected?"
"Even though it hasn’t been tested yet, it should be impossible." Su Xin shook his head.
What he referred to as the Life Revival Superpower is essentially Zhai Shiquan’s Resurrection Ability, and the strength of this ability is entirely dependent on Zhai Shiquan.
After a decade of cultivation, Zhai Shiquan has reached the Late Stage of Body Refining Cultivation. Together with Xie Fan and some other core Superpower Users, he participated in the first phase of small world training — privileges must still be used, and these core Superpower Users were pre-enrolled by Su Xin.
Even though he has reached the Late Stage of Body Refining Cultivation, Zhai Shiquan’s own life force is still not very substantial, probably capable of consecutively resurrecting a few dead without limbs.
Those who died more tragically can’t be resurrected, let alone those with souls annihilated.
Yuuntai shook his head somewhat disappointedly, but still continued, "I have a friend who was severely injured, with his soul nearly annihilated. I’d like to ask if you could try to revive him, possible?"
Su Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "My Life Revival Ability can be enhanced, but it requires time. If your friend can persist, perhaps they could wait a bit longer. Although currently my Life Revival Ability cannot resurrect, in the future, who knows?"
"It can be enhanced?"
Yuuntai showed surprise, then nodded, "My friend can probably last for decades, maybe even longer. If your ability can be enhanced, it wouldn’t hurt to wait several more years and give it another try."
"As a condition for exchange, besides telling you some common knowledge about the Ten Thousand Realms, I can also agree to some not excessively demanding conditions."
Su Xin said, "Alright, the simplest first condition, regarding this world and my various abilities, I hope you won’t disclose it, should be no problem, right?"
"No problem."
"Then, returning to my previous question, exactly what are the Ten Thousand Realms? Do you and others above the Earth Immortal Realm have the ability to freely traverse the Ten Thousand Realms?"
Yuuntai took a moment to organize his language, then started narrating:
"The Ten Thousand Realms... There are indeed countless worlds within the vast universe. If with a simple analogy, they resemble numerous bubbles floating in the air."
"Every bubble is a world, and all bubbles combined are what we habitually call the Ten Thousand Realms... This is described in your language, which is why this explanation may sound familiar to you."
"And the space where bubbles lie is generally referred to by us as the void, or Void Realm, which differs from what you term as void, because it is the soil where all worlds exist, but it is not suitable for ordinary beings to live in. Even someone of my realm cannot survive in the void."
"This just so happens to explain another question you asked about Earth Immortal... In theory, it lacks the ability to traverse worlds, because once we leave our own world, we cannot survive in the Void Realm, so how can we talk about traversing worlds?"
