Chapter 552: Master Tao's Soul Awakens
Chapter 552: Master Tao's Soul Awakens
An hour later, Su Yu returned to Huaxia with Chenxing, riding in the hypersonic fighter jet provided by Xue Wenli.
Upon returning to Huaxia, they didn’t go straight home. Instead, they made a detour to Yizhou.
In Yizhou’s Jingcheng, Su Yu "acquired" 200 tons of gold and other rare metal materials stored by the United Government. Then, he went to Wanzhou to buy Chenxing dozens of skewers of grilled fish before finally returning home to Donghai City.
"Finally home!"
The one who said this wasn’t Su Yu, but Chenxing.
As soon as they arrived, she pounced on the Yumi plushie with a move she called "Hungry Cat Pounce," hugging it and rolling around on Su Yu’s bed several times.
Then, she took out the grilled fish from her storage space and took a deep breath.
"Wow! So fragrant!" Chenxing couldn’t help but exclaim, "I have to say, people in your world really know how to eat! How can you make grilled fish so delicious?"
"This is actually the result of technological progress," Su Yu replied with a smile. "With advanced technology, various seasonings and ingredients become cheaper, allowing people to create even more delicious dishes. In your world, a single black pepper is as expensive as the same weight in gold. Who would dare use seasonings?"
"That’s true," Chenxing said, chewing on the fish thoughtfully. "No wonder Alyssa wants to listen to you and start an industrial revolution. But I’m just a cat, so I don’t care about these things. Start creating your clones, and I’ll help you set up a concealment array."
Chenxing’s empty left paw waved lightly, and a brilliant ball of starlight appeared in her palm.
She threw the ball of starlight, and it expanded continuously in the center of the room, eventually enveloping the entire space. The walls were illuminated with a beautiful deep blue.
With this layer of starlight, nothing that happened inside the room would be detected by the outside world.
Su Yu opened his necklace, preparing to take out the War God’s Hair.
But as soon as he opened the necklace, he noticed that the Ring of Rebirth next to the War God’s Hair was emitting a soft, orange-red glow.
The glow was gentle yet invigorating.
"What’s happening with the Ring of Rebirth?" Su Yu was surprised.
Three days ago, he had placed the souls of Master Tao and Master Jun Shizhong into the ring, but both souls had been in a comatose state, unable to communicate.
Now, the Ring of Rebirth was emitting an orange-red glow. Could it be that one of the seniors had awakened?!
Thinking this, Su Yu quickly took the Ring of Rebirth out and placed it in his palm.
As soon as the Ring of Rebirth left the necklace, it seemed to come alive. The gemstone embedded in the ring trembled in Su Yu’s hand, as if trying to communicate with him.
Chenxing, the cat, also looked over with curiosity. "Chenxing, what’s going on?"
"I’m not sure," Su Yu shook his head. "It might be that one of the seniors has awakened. I’ll investigate."
He extended his mental energy into the ring.
The world inside the Ring of Rebirth was a dark and deep place. The souls of Master Tao and Master Jun Shizhong appeared as clusters of light points, adding a touch of brightness to the dark world.
Currently, Master Jun Shizhong’s soul remained as calm as when it first entered, showing no signs of abnormality on the surface.
However, Master Tao’s soul caught Su Yu’s attention. It seemed to have come to life, pulsating with the space around it, as if it had regained consciousness!
"Where am I? Is this the Underworld?" Through the fluctuations of Master Tao’s soul, Su Yu clearly captured the information he was sending.
Su Yu was overjoyed.
He quickly used his mental power to communicate with Tao Qian, "Senior Tao, it's Su Yu. Your consciousness has awakened? How are you feeling now?"
Tao Qian was taken aback by Su Yu's message, "Nemesis? What do you mean? Did you die too and end up in the Underworld with me?"
"No, no, you actually didn't die," Su Yu explained patiently. "Three days ago, after you and Senior Jun Shi sacrificed yourselves, I stored your souls in this special ring to prevent them from dissipating."
Su Yu then recounted the events of the past three days in detail.
After listening to Su Yu, Tao Qian finally understood what had transpired after his supposed death.
"I never thought I would be alive," he said, filled with emotion.
He also noticed Jun Shi's soul nearby. Jun Shi's soul was far more fragmented than his own, currently floating in the ring's internal space with no signs of awakening.
Seeing Jun Shi, Tao Qian felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and self-reproach.
If it weren't for him, how would Jun Shi have ended up in such a state?
Su Yu's mental power sensed Tao Qian's intense self-reproach. The stronger this emotion grew, the more Tao Qian's soul began to fluctuate, showing signs of fracturing!
He quickly reassured him, "Senior Tao, please don't blame yourself too much. It won't help now. There's an old saying, 'It's never too late to mend.' The most important thing now is to repair Senior Jun Shi's soul and help him come back to life!"
"Can he be revived?" Tao Qian asked eagerly.
Su Yu replied, "With my current abilities, it's not possible to reconstruct your physical bodies. However, once I reach the Eighth Rank, I might be able to do it. We can wait a bit longer."
"Is that so?"
"Senior Tao, you should rest now. Contact me if anything comes up. I'll leave you to it." After their conversation, Su Yu could sense Tao Qian's soul gradually growing weary.
"Alright," Tao Qian answered, his soul's fluctuations ceasing for the moment.
Su Yu withdrew his mental power from the ring.
The orange-red glow on the [Ring of Rebirth] had disappeared, and the ring no longer trembled.
Seeing Su Yu's mental power return to his body, Chen Xing asked, "Nemesis, what happened in the ring?"
"Senior Tao's soul has awakened," Su Yu explained the events in the ring.
At the end of his explanation, he asked, "Chen Xing, do you have the ability to help the two seniors reconstruct their physical bodies?"
"Well," Chen Xing licked his paw slowly, "I don't have that ability. However, if you can find a recently deceased person, I can transfer their soul into the body of someone who just died, effectively bringing them back to life. Would you like to do that?"
"Hmm, I think I'll pass," Su Yu replied after some serious thought.
Earth wasn't short of death row inmates; most of the surrenderers were sentenced to death. Finding a suitable body wouldn't be difficult.
However, if the two seniors' souls were transferred to new bodies, they would have to start their cultivation anew. It would take an unknown amount of time for them to regain their Sixth Rank Sacred Domain status, and it certainly wouldn't happen within a year.
So, he decided to wait until he reached the Eighth Rank!
Once Su Yu attained the divine level, he could find a way to reconstruct Sixth Rank physical bodies for the two seniors. This would allow them to quickly recover their strength and have better self-preservation capabilities in the future final battle.
