A Decision That Defied the "Ancestors"

After both of them successfully subdued their Cloud-Touching Vines, Jiang Xian took Luo Feng onto the Thunder Dragon Emperor and began the journey back to Jiangnan Base City.

That night, they reached Jiangnan Base City and arrived above the villas in Mingyue Residential Area in Yangzhou City.

"Oh, right, Madman, I have something else for you. Come to my place first, then go home afterward. You live right next door anyway, so it won't take long." Jiang Xian looked at Luo Feng from atop the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head.

The two jumped off the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head and landed in the courtyard of Jiang Xian's villa.

On the way back, Jiang Xian had noticed that his resurrection count was almost at eight digits. He suddenly remembered that he had not given Luo Feng a Resurrection Coin. Besides, Luo Feng's path of growth was fairly dangerous, so giving him a resurrection would be safer.

"Madman, I called you over to give you a trump card. This is a lifesaving measure exclusive to our Fenglingyueying Sect." With that, Jiang Xian patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and used Talent Two to give him an extra life.

Luo Feng sensed the information entering his mind. Although Jiang Xian had already shocked him many times, this still shook him deeply. Something like resurrection, which touched upon the very foundations of life and death, dealt a heavy blow to his understanding. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

Looking at Luo Feng's dazed eyes, Jiang Xian said to him:

"This resurrection is a lifesaving trump card for you, so you don't accidentally end up dead after heading into the universe. If you happen to use it, you can come ask me for another. Unlimited refills! Hehehe!"

With a hum, a tiny black figure suddenly shot out of the black wristguard on Luo Feng's wrist. Babata hovered in the air, its usual flippant demeanor gone without a trace. Its little face was filled with anxiety and urgency as it flew straight up to Jiang Xian and clutched his sleeve tightly with its little hands.

"Wait! Since this resurrection method can bring people back to life, can it resurrect my master, Hu Yanbo?" Babata stared fixedly at that Resurrection Coin, its voice so urgent it nearly cried. This had been its greatest unresolved anguish for countless years.

Jiang Xian gently shook his head, got Babata off his sleeve, and explained calmly.

"This method has restrictions. It can only be given to someone who is still alive. Once the holder suffers fatal damage, it activates on the spot and resurrects them. But Hu Yanbo died long ago. His soul dispersed many years ago, and he is already utterly gone. This resurrection method has no effect on the dead."

Babata went rigid. The faint light surrounding it dimmed, and it drooped its little head, filled with dejection.

Seeing Babata like this, Jiang Xian slowly said, "But that doesn't mean there's absolutely no way."

Babata's drooping little head suddenly lifted again, and light seemed to return to its eyes. It looked at Jiang Xian with anticipation.

Looking at Babata, Jiang Xian knew that its love for Hu Yanbo was genuine. Later, after Luo Feng resurrected Hu Yanbo, Babata went straight off to "live happily ever after" with him. Hahaha.

Jiang Xian did not keep Babata in suspense and spoke directly.

"Babata, you should know that Immortals are divided into Immortal Army Lords, Marquis Immortals, and King-level Immortals. Once someone reaches the Invincible King level, fully comprehending either the Time Law or the Space Law allows them to become a Universe Venerable. At the Universe Venerable level, fully comprehending the other law makes them a Universe Master."

"At the Universe Master level, one can Reverse Time and Space. Generally speaking, as long as an Immortal Level individual hasn't been subjected to Soul Enslavement or killed through special means, a Universe Master can resurrect them."

"So becoming a Universe Master lets you resurrect Master. Jiang Xian, if you become a Universe Master someday, could you help me resurrect Master? I can give you anything you want," Babata pleaded.

Babata felt that Jiang Xian and the Fenglingyueying Sect were so mysterious, often producing things beyond its imagination. Especially with that resurrection method from earlier, perhaps the Fenglingyueying Sect actually had a Universe Master. And since Jiang Xian belonged to that sect, he was very likely to become a Universe Master.

Jiang Xian did not know what Babata was thinking. Otherwise, he would certainly have scoffed, Become a Universe Master? Who are you looking down on? Is your Brother Jiang really that unimpressive in your eyes?

"All right, stop thinking about that. Just focus on training Luo Feng properly for now. He has a chance of helping you resurrect Hu Yanbo in the future. If he can't, I'll be your fallback," Jiang Xian replied.

"Thank you, Jiang Xian! I'll train Luo Feng properly." Babata happily spun around. He felt that Luo Feng would, at most, reach the Immortal Level like his master. But with Jiang Xian's help, Luo Feng's future was no longer certain. Besides, Jiang Xian had said he would serve as his fallback for the resurrection.

"Luo Feng, I'll also teach you the White Emperor Golden Slash. Once you break through to the Planetary Level, you can try cultivating it. This is a truly supreme divine ability." Jiang Xian raised his hand and pointed. A dazzling stream of golden light flew from his fingertip and poured straight into the depths of Luo Feng's mind. The complete White Emperor Golden Slash cultivation method and all its secrets of operation were imprinted within Luo Feng's soul.

A vast, boundless Dao resonance instantly swept through Luo Feng's mind. Countless Metal Profound Mysteries and Slashing Divine Abilities unfolded within his consciousness. Every move was sharp enough to cleave space, and merely visualizing them made all the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Even within our Fenglingyueying Sect, the White Emperor Golden Slash counts as a core cultivation art. You must cultivate it diligently from now on. Oh, and Babata, send me the Universal Language," Jiang Xian reminded them.

The two chatted a while longer before Luo Feng returned home. At home, Luo Feng accepted the Inheritance Soul Seal.

Luo Feng felt that the Yun Mo Star Inheritance was also extremely profound. His current realm was too low for him to judge the relative strength of cultivation arts, just as an elementary school student could not distinguish between college entrance exam problems and the seven great mathematical conjectures. So Luo Feng decided to make a copy and send it to Jiang Xian to see whether he could use it. Babata would certainly have objected if it were anyone else, but this was Jiang Xian.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Xian received the Yunmo Star Inheritance sent by Babata on his Smart Wristband. It seemed Babata had made a decision that "defied the ancestors" last night.

Jiang Xian opened the Group Chat.

[Jiang Xian uploaded a file: "Yunmo Star Inheritance"]

[Jiang Xian: "Everyone, these are secret methods from the Swallowed Star World. You can use them as a reference. Cultivation in the Swallowed Star World involves gradually cultivating one's own universe. They should be of some help to everyone."]

[Xiao Yan: "Group Leader, did you enable the Offline Function? You got the Yunmo Star Inheritance so quickly."]

[Jiang Xian: "Yes. Time is cheap in Swallowed Star. If I didn't enable the Offline Function, you'd all have reached your finales before I even left the starting village. That would be no fun."]

[Ye Fan: "That's true. By the time you finished a single period of secluded cultivation in your world, several generations of Great Emperors would have come and gone on my side. Still, the lifespans in the Swallowed Star cultivation system really are enviable!"]
