Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 445 The Method of Resurrection

When the Demon Lord Feilian said that Youluozi could be resurrected, Chen Ye felt that this demon was making things up to save his own life.

If that were truly the case, the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas would have known long ago. Who would have the audacity to spout nonsense here?
According to the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, Youluozi knew he wouldn't live much longer, so he self-destructed without reservation to save people, just to force the black dog to open the sealing barrier and trap Feilian inside.

The fact that he held nothing back shows that Youluozi had no plans for possession or rebirth.

They can only survive if time could truly be reversed.

However, Chen Ye estimated that even the Great Sage of the Overturning Seas couldn't turn back time to when Youluozi was still alive.

The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas naturally understood this as well, and sneered, "Do you really think I'd fall for your nonsense?"

It was a perfectly normal sentence, but Chen Ye felt something was off about it.

This sounds like he's been tricked by people all the time, and it's an experience he's gained through practice.

The Demon Lord Feilian didn't care about anything else and continued to say loudly, "I have a way to prove it. Although it may not be the original Youluozi, it is definitely a glimmer of hope. If you don't believe me, Immortal, Chen Ye can be my witness."

The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas looked at Chen Ye, who immediately shook his head and said, "Don't drag me into this. I don't know anything."

"No, you know!" Fei Lian quickly explained, "You've witnessed the resurrection method firsthand! Have you forgotten? You're one of the eighteen Venerable Masters of the Demonic Sect, and you also possess the qualifications to open that inheritance array!"

Chen Ye frowned.

The inheritance array that the Demon Lord Feilian mentioned is indeed real.

It is said that the eighteen demon lords were originally confident of victory, but the righteous path turned the tables and killed them all. In the end, some demon lords escaped to the underground and tried their best to preserve the legacy of the demonic sect.

Then they worked together to create such a heritage array. Anyone who becomes one of the eighteen Venerable Masters can open the array at will and know all the secret techniques of the corresponding heritage.

This formation is not of this world; it can only store and retrieve memories within it, but cannot be destroyed or deleted.

This thing is indeed better than the library, but what does it have to do with resurrection?
Demon Lord Feilian continued to remind him, "You should remember that Youluozi mentioned to you that this inheritance array not only records the secret techniques passed down by various schools, but can also help other cultivators break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Chen Ye remembered; there seemed to be such a saying.

After the Demonic Sect was driven underground, its resources were certainly not as plentiful as those on the surface, especially the Soul Cleansing Flower needed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, or the combined efforts of a hundred Transcendent Realm experts—both of these conditions were very difficult to achieve.

Therefore, this inheritance array also has this function, and can replace the Soul Cleansing Flower to help cultivators break through.

However, I've heard that it's much more dangerous, so it can only be considered a backup option.

For example, the Soulfire Lord, I don't know how he cultivated the Soul Cleansing Flower himself, so his subordinates don't need this formation to help them improve.

Even if you can't use it, the function is still there.

Chen Ye asked, puzzled, "What does using this formation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage have to do with the resurrection of Youluozi?"

"It's incredibly important!" Fei Lian's voice was filled with fervor. "Don't you know that the so-called Nascent Soul Transformation is essentially a transformation of the soul? Whether it's the Soul Cleansing Flower or the Hundred Mysteries' Assistance, their core is to create an illusion that cleanses the soul, repeatedly tempering the cultivator's soul within it! And these illusions are woven together from the memories of everyone who has used the magic array!"

"As long as Youluozi has ever used this magic array, whether to help others or for her own breakthrough, a portion of her memories will inevitably be recorded by the array!"

“Just like that black dog! Even if it’s just a wisp of remnant spirit, it’s still her own remnant spirit! As long as there’s still a spark left…” Demon Lord Feilian’s gaze was fixed on Chen Ye.

"Sect Master Chen, you seem to be well-versed in the secret methods of repairing the soul. If you can open the formation and enter the illusion of the soul's transformation, you might be able to find Youluozi's remaining divine thoughts, and perhaps bring her back to life."

After hearing these words, Chen Ye remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"The chances are too slim. Besides, even if it succeeds, it won't be Youluozi himself."

A regret is a regret, and a memory is a memory.

Chen Ye had practiced the Great Law of Transformation and experienced the feeling of his soul splitting into two people.

This made Chen Ye understand more clearly what "true self" means.

No matter how you piece together the fragmented memories, you will never be the real Youluozi. You are just a new life with some of the memories, at most Youluozi's "child".

But this was just Chen Ye's idea.

After hearing what the two had said, the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas seemed somewhat tempted.

Chen Ye quickly said, "Great Sage, you should understand that even if Youluozi truly has complete memories hidden within the formation, those are memories from the past."

"How could I not know?" The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas sighed, then asked Chen Ye, "If it were you, would you risk this sliver of hope?"

Chen Ye smiled wryly; he knew what the Great Sage Overturning the Sea was thinking.

“The Great Sage is right. Even I would give it a try. Regardless of when Youluozi was recorded in the formation, she would probably like to meet you and hear your response, Great Sage.”

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea nodded and said, “That’s right. Boy, my demon race is different from your human race. We don’t have so much scheming and we’re too lazy to worry about gains and losses with you. Whoever has done me a favor, I will repay the favor; whoever has done me a grudge, I will take revenge. It’s simple and clear. If you help me revive Youluozi, I will owe you another favor.”

This is a good thing, and Chen Ye naturally wouldn't refuse.

“In that case, I will do my best. But I have heard that to activate this effect, it requires the consent of eighteen Venerable Lords. However, the Demonic Sect is currently…”

This mutual guarantee against internal conflict allowed the Underground Demonic Sect to survive. Despite the decline of some traditions, it still had eighteen Venerable Masters who had been around for thousands of years.

However, most of the lords have now been killed by Chen Ye.

Putting everything else aside, with Youluozi dead, the lineage of the Bewitching Demon Lord she represented has been severed.

Not to mention the demon lords like Qingjiao and Huchang, who are already beyond dead. How could they possibly open this secret realm for tempering the soul?

Chen Ye turned to look at Demon Lord Feilian and asked, "Then Lord should have a way to activate the formation, so please speak frankly."

The Demon Lord Feilian naturally wouldn't hide anything, but he seemed to have seen through the Great Sage Fuhai's character, and hurriedly asked, "Great Sage, please give me a promise. If I can help you, will you spare my life?"

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas casually replied, "It's no big deal to spare your life, but you'd better keep your word. If you can't find the remnant spirit of Youluozi in that formation, then I'll definitely let you taste the eighteen levels of hell."
