Yaoyao's feet touched the earth lightly. Sunlight fell across her, and a gentle breeze brushed her cheeks.
Every sensation felt so real.
A faint current of air moved with each breath. Blood flowed through her veins, and her heart beat solidly within her chest.
Yaoyao closed her eyes for a moment, taking in the feeling.
This was what it felt like to be alive. This was life.
"Thank you for bringing me back to life, Uncle Ling." Yaoyao opened her eyes and bowed to Meng Chuan.
After traveling with Meng Chuan to so many places, she had long since stopped calling him Senior.
She could hardly call him Ancestor Meng Chuan, either. Uncle was a good choice.
"As long as you're alive." Meng Chuan nodded. Even he found Yaoyao's resurrection rather strange.
In his hazy recollection, shouldn't a resurrection have come with thunder raging, the River of the Ages appearing, the Myriad Daos boiling, and the Heavens joining forces to make trouble?
This had been far too simple, too easy, too peaceful.
In Meng Chuan's eyes, Yaoyao's death had hardly counted as death at all.
If a treasure like a Peach of Immortality or an Ancestral Root fruit could bring someone back, what sort of death was that to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?
"Your cultivation is gone now, but you have a body at the Golden Body Realm," Meng Chuan said.
"The essence of your cultivation has fused with your body, and I've tempered it for you as well."
"Next, you can absorb pollen and evolve. Your foundation is flawless, with no hidden risks."
"Evolve by the strongest method, and you'll become even stronger than you were before."
On the Pollen Path, raising the body to the Golden Body Realm before absorbing pollen was one of the strongest ways to evolve.
