Let's Try Reviving Heavenly Fire Venerable
Huo Yuhao silently withdrew his gaze and gave the Guardian Mirror a gentle smile, "Isn't this good enough?"
How lively!
The Guardian Mirror rolled around Huo Yuhao's feet in frustration. "Ever since I mentioned the armies and battle formation masters of the Great Thousand World —that old bastard Tianhuo has gone mad! He insists on training these remnant souls you collected into an army!"
Seeing the clearly dissatisfied Guardian Mirror, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, and he could only wave towards Heavenly Fire Venerable: "Senior Tian Huo!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through Heavenly Fire Venerable's commands.
Visibly, Heavenly Fire Venerable's solidified soul suddenly trembled violently!
Almost reflexively, he opened his hoarse voice and roared at the top of his lungs, "Attention everyone! On command! Run—move! Get running! Now!!"
After shouting, he jumped down from the platform in a flash, mingled with the remnant souls, and took the lead in trying to escape.
Is it really that scary? Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment.
Immediately, Huo Yuhao's mind stirred, and he instantly locked onto the old man who was trying to "lead the team to escape".
"Ouch!" Heavenly Fire Venerable exclaimed, feeling an irresistible, gentle yet immense force enveloping him, and the scene before his eyes rapidly shifted.
The next second, he was dragged in front of Huo Yuhao and the Guardian Mirror.
"Brother Huo?" Heavenly Fire Venerable chuckled dryly, his eyes darting around, his expression uneasy. "Is... is something wrong? Are we going to do another experiment?"
Looking at Heavenly Fire Venerable's pathetic state, Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Senior, it's not what you're thinking. The mental cultivation method is basically perfected; it only needs minor adjustments. There's no need for you to personally test it anymore."
"Phew—that's good! That's good!" Heavenly Fire Venerable breathed a long sigh of relief, his tense soul body visibly relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
However, Huo Yuhao's next words made his heart leap into his throat again.
Huo Yuhao's lips slowly curved into a meaningful smile, his voice tinged with amusement. "However, this is still an experiment—just a different kind, a completely new experiment."
"What?!" Heavenly Fire Venerable shuddered as if a finger had been poked into his nostril, his entire soul trembling and his color fading slightly. "No! Brother Huo! My old arms, legs, and soul can't take any more of this! Please let me go!"
"Senior, there's no need to worry," Huo Yuhao quickly reassured him, his tone carrying a sincere smile. "This is truly a good thing."
Outside the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, in a secluded valley.
Huo Yuhao was squatting on the ground, his fingertips flowing with his reconstructed spiritual power, intently engraving intricate patterns on the ground.
Beside him, Heavenly Fire Venerable examined the pattern on the ground with curiosity and a hint of wariness, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Huo, what is this thing you drew? An array? But it's completely different from your Spiritual Formation!"
After Huo Yuhao finished outlining the last rune, a golden light flashed across the ground and disappeared into the soil.
He stood up, dusted off his hands, and explained, "This is called a magic circle, not Spiritual Formation. It belongs to a different power system. As for whether it will work—"
Huo Yuhao shrugged. "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Let's give it a try. Don't worry, I guarantee there's absolutely no danger."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao lightly tapped the air with his finger, creating a ripple.
Then a body dressed in a gray robe, with a withered face and closed eyes, appearing in the very center of the magic circle in a state of slumber like an infant, appeared.
It was Fang Yan, the Grand Elder of Demon Flame Valley!
Heavenly Fire Venerable floated closer and carefully examined Fang Yan lying on the ground.
His withered skin, deep wrinkles, and drooping corners of his mouth beneath his hooked nose exuded an aura of sinister cruelty.
Heavenly Fire Venerable exclaimed in disgust, pointing at Fang Yan and asking, "Oh no! You're not planning to resurrect me in this body, are you? That's too pathetic! I was quite the handsome man I was back in the day—"
"It's not a true resurrection," Huo Yuhao interrupted his wailing, patiently explaining, "The normal method of resurrection involves forging the bones of a powerful individual with Heavenly Flames, supplemented with the High-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence and a Seventh Grade peak-level pill Bone-Melting Blood-Replenishing Pill," allowing the soul to enter the bones and regrow its own flesh and blood.
He paused, waiting for Heavenly Fire Venerable to understand, before continuing, "But right now, I don't have the Bone-Melting Blood-Replenishing Pill yet. So, this time it's a different approach, a—stopgap measure."
"A stopgap measure?"
"Yes!" Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpened, locking onto Fang Yan's body. "The core lies in the transformation of the soul. The instant your Soul Imprint enters his body, I will simultaneously extract his soul. At the same time—"
Huo Yuhao pointed to the magic circle on the ground. "Use this magic circle to stabilize the fusion process between your soul and this body, maintain the body's activity after the soul transfer to the greatest extent, and prevent it from dying directly due to the loss of its soul."
"Then can we still do it in the future—" Heavenly Fire Venerable asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, once we have the Bone-Melting Blood-Replenishing Pill, we'll help you forge a new body."
Heavenly Fire Venerable paused for a moment, then his soul floated around Fang Yan's body twice.
He finally stopped beside Fang Yan Yan's peacefully "sleeping" old face, stretched out an illusory finger, and helplessly poked Fang Yan's cheek, letting out a silent sigh, "Sigh, alright, alright, I give up. Anyway, following you, sooner or later, you'll wear me down to pieces."
"Senior is too kind." A glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his expression became extremely focused.
He said no more and began chanting incantations with strange rhythms.
As the incantation was recited, Huo Yuhao slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and aimed them at the Fang Yan in the center of the magic circle.
An invisible suction force suddenly arose!
Then, a blurry, ethereal figure, also in a state of slumber, was slowly "pulled" out of Fang Yan's body by Huo Yuhao! The scene resembled two people overlapping due to clipping!
"Senior Tian Huo! Now!" Huo Yuhao's thoughts exploded in Heavenly Fire Venerable's soul!
Without further hesitation, Heavenly Fire Venerable solidified his soul, transforming into a blazing white streak of light, carrying an aura of fearlessness in the face of death, and slammed fiercely into Fang Yan's brow!
At the same time, Huo Yuhao suddenly clenched his open fingers! In his palm, he firmly grasped Fang Yan's soul.
Buzz-!
The magic circle on the ground instantly erupted with a powerful golden light!
These rays of light did not spread explosively, but rather, like living vines, Entanglement Fang Yan's body Sisi strand, and then quickly seeped into him.
As the light gradually dimmed and subsided, silence fell over the valley.
A few breaths later.
Lying on the ground, "Fang Yan" twitched her eyelids slightly, and then slowly opened them.
