CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 492 RESURRECTION (PART 1)

Speaking was a white-haired man with a fiery red lightning ring on his back.

The man’s fiery red eyes were filled with determination.

The moment he spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of all the ancestors in the Shengxiao Hall.

"Strange, Desolate Fury Ancestor is usually reticent, never even interacting with other ancestors of Immortal Tang. It’s unexpected that he would voluntarily offer today."

"When did Desolate Fury Ancestor change his usual behavior? I’ve never seen him speak in Shengxiao Hall before."

"For the first time ever, Desolate Fury Ancestor has spoken, and it’s concerning resurrection—how peculiar!"

The ancestors discussed amongst themselves.

But from their words, it was apparent that Desolate Fury Ancestor was a solitary existence, like an iceberg, who never interacted with other ancestors and spoke very little.

Yet, such an ancestor realm figure was now actively requesting to resurrect Wang Xu’s family.

"Desolate Fury?"

The Palace Master of Immortal Tang also felt quite surprised.

Desolate Fury Ancestor wasn’t an ancestor cultivated by Immortal Tang, but an outsider.

The reason he joined Immortal Tang was the same as many ancestors—to study the supreme technique that shook the chaos, the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique.

The Palace Master of Immortal Tang gladly accepted him, kept him within Immortal Tang, making him one of Immortal Tang’s ancestors, and taught him the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique.

For so many years, Desolate Fury Ancestor remained silent and reserved, barely speaking, even when standing in Shengxiao Hall, and hardly interacted with other ancestors, as if he didn’t exist, almost fading from the Palace Master’s sight.

"Wang Xu, as the Palace Master mentioned, the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique carries great risks, with a high possibility of failure, in which case your family’s souls would be utterly dissipated, with no chance of rebirth. Even so, do you insist on reviving your family?"

Desolate Fury Ancestor looked steadfastly at Wang Xu, his eyes revealing an unusual expression.

Wang Xu remained silent.

But just seconds later, his gaze became sharp, suddenly meeting Desolate Fury Ancestor’s eyes.

"As long as Senior Desolate Fury is willing to revive my family, I will bear all consequences. If successful, I will be eternally grateful to Senior Desolate Fury!"

Wang Xu bowed his head in salute and spoke loudly.

Reviving his family was his greatest wish, and no matter how slim the hope, even if there was just the slightest chance, Wang Xu would not give up.

Desolate Fury Ancestor looked at Wang Xu seriously, his eyes seeming to flicker with flames. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Your achievements in the future will surely surpass mine!"

Then, Desolate Fury Ancestor bowed to the Palace Master of Immortal Tang.

"Palace Master, allow me to handle this matter. I have comprehended up to the third layer of the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique, and it is worth a try."

"Third layer?"

The Palace Master’s eyes lit up.

The ancestors were also slightly surprised.

Each of them had studied the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique, and they knew it was divided into four layers, each more challenging to comprehend than the last. Aside from the creator, the Palace Master of Immortal Tang, no one else had ever comprehended the third layer.

"I didn’t expect Desolate Fury Ancestor to quietly cultivate the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique to the third layer."

"With the third layer of the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique, in this vast chaos, Desolate Fury Ancestor’s resurrection technique could be second only to the Palace Master’s."

The ancestors murmured among themselves.

"Very well, the matter is entrusted to you."

The Palace Master of Immortal Tang looked at Wang Xu, "Originally, I should have personally helped you perform the resurrection, but my true self is currently not within the chaos. It requires some time to wait. However, since Desolate Fury has cultivated the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique to the third layer, with his assistance, the success rate should be quite high."

"Thank you, Palace Master. Thank you, Senior Desolate Fury!"

Wang Xu respectfully saluted.

"From now on, you don’t need to call me senior, address me as master."

Desolate Fury Ancestor said.

The ancestors wanted to object, but Wang Xu had already spoken before them, "Master!"

Desolate Fury Ancestor nodded, waved his sleeve, and took Wang Xu with him.

"Let’s leave now."

Watching Desolate Fury Ancestor lead Wang Xu out of Shengxiao Hall, the ancestors shook their heads in regret.

Wang Xu was a rare prodigy in the chaos, with the potential of a Great Emperor, yet to take him as a disciple, one must help him revive his family.

Among the present ancestors, only Desolate Fury Ancestor, who reached the third layer of the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique, had the highest resurrection technique.

"If only I had diligently cultivated the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique..."

This sentence echoed in the hearts of many ancestors.

...

"Master, where are we going now?" Wang Xu asked.

"Eternal Celestial Palace."

Desolate Fury Ancestor said, "Eternal Celestial Palace originates from beyond the Outer Heaven of Chaos, rumored to be born of the Ganges River. In there, the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique will be more effective."

Wang Xu nodded.

The two fell into silence.

Desolate Fury Ancestor resumed his cold demeanor, expressionless, exactly matching the solitary figure described by the ancestors.

"Master, do you also have someone you want to resurrect?"

Suddenly, Wang Xu asked.

Wang Xu only met Desolate Fury Ancestor for a brief moment, naturally taking a careful look at him. He found that in Desolate Fury Ancestor’s eyes, there was an emotion similar to his own, an emotion that resonated with him.

Desolate Fury Ancestor remained silent, as if he hadn’t heard Wang Xu’s question.

After a moment.

"You’re right, I must resurrect someone."

Desolate Fury Ancestor said, "But in comparison, you are much luckier than I am. The family member you wish to resurrect is at most Star Level, but the one I wish to resurrect is, like me, in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm."

Resurrect someone in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm?!

Wang Xu was startled.

What kind of price would that require?

To resurrect a creature of the Ancestor Realm, even those in the Saint Venerable Realm must pay a huge price. In severe cases, it could consume a tremendous amount of the Ancestor Realm’s energy, causing an endless slumber. Not to mention resurrecting someone from the Ancestor Realm, which is almost an exchange with one’s life, and an exchange that is not guaranteed to succeed!

"When I initially chose to join the Immortal Tang Divine Palace, it was to resurrect her, but by then it was too late. A great change had occurred in the Ganges River, and even the Palace Master had no absolute assurance, so I chose to give up."

Desolate Fury Ancestor glanced at Wang Xu, "In this matter, at least you are braver than I am."

Wang Xu would dare to fight even if there was only a sliver of hope, but Desolate Fury Ancestor did not have that courage.

He dared not attempt, for failure would result in a lifetime of pain, which made him hesitate.

Yet only Wang Xu knew this was not because he was brave enough, but because he had no choice.

The Ganges River had already undergone a change, and the millennium deadline was fast approaching. If Wang Xu gave up, his family’s souls would be eroded by the Ganges, cast into reincarnation, and ultimately drift away from him forever.

But the person Desolate Fury Ancestor wanted to resurrect, being in the Ancestor Realm, already had a soul that was an ancestor entity itself. Even immersed in the Ganges River, it would take countless Law Eras to truly erode everything.

This gave Desolate Fury Ancestor countless Law Eras to buffer, to cultivate the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique, and to find the most appropriate timing and method.

Wang Xu, however, had only one path to choose.

"We’ve arrived."

The Eternal Celestial Palace, suspended above the Nine Heavens, was not far from the Outer Heaven of Chaos. Wang Xu could only reach here with the protection of Desolate Fury Ancestor; otherwise, solely with his Billion Era Celestial God’s physique, he would be unable to withstand this "Nine Heavens Gang Wind."

The Eternal Celestial Palace resembled a golden sphere, with hundreds of golden rings orbiting it, eternally revolving.

No one knows the origin of the Eternal Celestial Palace. Rumor has it that it originates from the Ganges River, while another says it was crafted by a superpowerful being, but the true origin remains unknown.

"The surging Supreme Law!"

As soon as Wang Xu stepped into the Eternal Celestial Palace, the overwhelming Supreme Law descended, and with just a mere thought, his comprehension of the Law of Light soared rapidly.

"Every Law Era, you have one opportunity to enter the Eternal Celestial Palace. This is your first Law Era since joining the Immortal Tang, and it’s the sole opportunity in this era."

Desolate Fury Ancestor said, "But this chance might be wasted; resurrecting your family requires your presence."

"No problem."

Wang Xu nodded.

A chance to comprehend the Law, in the face of family, is nothing.

"It’s starting!"

Desolate Fury Ancestor did not need to make any preparations. With a wave of his hand, he took out a green Crystal Stone, its glimmering light causing Wang Xu to feel an inexplicable, overpowering force.

"Reverse!"

At the sound of Desolate Fury Ancestor’s words, a tremor rippled through Wang Xu’s body, and the world seemed to shake. His consciousness blurred, and his Spiritual Soul unknowingly leaped out of his body.

Where to...

Where am I going...

Wang Xu was on the verge of falling into slumber, whispering with a faint trace of consciousness.

It felt like a moment, yet also like countless Law Eras had passed. When Wang Xu truly awoke, the scene before him had undergone immense changes.

"This is..."

A cerulean river stretched across the void, spanning an endless distance. Its head was unknown, and its tail could not be seen, like time itself: perceptible yet impossible to comprehend.

"This is the Ganges River."

Desolate Fury Ancestor’s words echoed in Wang Xu’s ears, and turning his head, he saw this majestic figure.

The Ganges River?

Was this cerulean and misty light river before him the legendary Ganges River that flowed within Chaos and was steeped in countless myths?

"Do you see them? The glowing points floating on the Ganges River, each represents a soul."

Desolate Fury Ancestor pointed, "The brighter the point, the stronger the soul. Conversely, the duller, the weaker it is, so to us, mortal souls are almost invisible."

"And those countless dim light points, converging into the river, ultimately formed this Ganges River."

What?!

Wang Xu was shocked.

The Ganges River... was it truly composed of endless and unbounded souls?

"It’s rumored that Chaos was born from the Ganges River... and all life within Chaos comes from the Ganges. What kind of existence is the Ganges River?"

Wang Xu pondered.

"Wang Xu, don’t get distracted. I’m about to perform the Resurrection Technique."

Desolate Fury Ancestor’s words made Wang Xu focus, gathering all his resolve.

Mom and Dad... I’ll be able to see you soon! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
