Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 700 Resurrection

Jade Palace Star Palace, within a miniature universe.

Outside the purple beam of light, Chen Yuan finally opened his eyes. Thinking of the transaction just now, he couldn't help but smile.

They so easily tricked a world-class Chaos Origin life form and a half-Chaos Origin Escape Dao. This deal was incredibly profitable.

On the other side, upon seeing Chen Yuan's expression, Yuan immediately knew that the other party had returned safely and asked, "Brother Chen, what did you encounter inside? Could it be the consciousness of the Dao of Escape?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Brother Yuan, this isn't the consciousness of the Dao of Escape, but rather an old acquaintance of yours."

"An old acquaintance of mine?" Yuan was taken aback. This reminder immediately sparked a guess in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be Gu Jun?"

"That's right." Chen Yuan nodded.

Upon hearing this name, the Jade Palace Master beside her widened her eyes. Her father was inside? Why hadn't he contacted her all these years?

"Hiss." Yuan gasped, shocked. "Gu Jun faked his death to escape back then! Could it be that he entrusted his soul to the origin of the Dao of Escape?"

"But even I've never heard of such a thing before. How did he manage to do it?"

"No, Gu Jun did not fake his death." Chen Yuan shook his head. "He really died back then. His soul completely dissipated, leaving only a wisp of illusory consciousness hidden within the Dao of Escape and merging with it."

"Gu Jun has no soul. His consciousness will immediately dissipate once it leaves the Dao of Escape, so he cannot contact the outside world and can only be trapped inside."

"As for why his consciousness could merge with the origin, it is because of the special nature of the Dao of Escaping Oneness."

Afterwards, Chen Yuan told the two the true nature of the Dao of Escape, and Yuan suddenly realized, "I didn't expect that the special characteristic of the Dao of Escape is actually the brain of the universe! No wonder it can accommodate Gu Jun's consciousness to live inside."

"Chen Dao—no, Senior Chen," the Jade Palace Master couldn't help but ask, "What did my father say to you?"

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. Just call me Chen Yuan."

Chen Yuan said, "As for what your father said—he wanted me to help him resurrect."

"Gu Jun can be resurrected?!" Yuan Shen was overjoyed. He had thought Gu Jun was doomed when he heard that the other party's soul had dissipated, but now it seemed that there was still hope?

He always felt it was a great pity that Gu Jun had died. With the talent that Gu Jun had shown, he actually had the opportunity to break through to the Lord Realm, but unfortunately he died too young.

If the other party can be resurrected—then perhaps the birth of the next Hunyuan Lord will fall upon them.

Well, except for Chen Yuan.

"I have mastered the Great Way of the Soul, and its True Spirit branch allows me to resurrect any life through the True Spirit."

Chen Yuan explained the principle of the "True Spirit Resurrection Technique" and then said, "Gu Jun's situation is perfect for True Spirit Resurrection, but my abilities are still limited, and I can only condense a trace of his soul essence for him."

"Given Gu Jun's life essence, given sufficient energy and time, he can nurture this trace of his soul's essence and eventually restore it to its full potential."

"Energy is a minor matter!" Yuan waved his hand. "Give me all the energy Gu Jun needs to recover. I guarantee he can recover to his peak condition in a very short time."

For a Hunyuan Lord, energy is virtually inexhaustible, making it incredibly easy to restore the body of a world-class Hunyuan.

What surprised him was Chen Yuan's abilities. Although he had heard of the Great Dao of the Soul, he had never heard of the mysteries of the True Spirit Branch before.

So he couldn't help but ask, "Chen Yuan, can the True Spirit Resurrection Technique you possess also be used on beings that perished in the Chaotic Origin Space?"

"It should be." Chen Yuan nodded. "As long as I can find the other party's true spirit, I can use the True Spirit Resurrection Technique. However, the current resurrection limit is only for world-level Chaos Origin."

"Enough, enough," Yuan hurriedly said. "Even if you could revive the Chaos Lord, you wouldn't need it. None of the seven of us lords have perished since our birth, but quite a few world-class Chaos Lords have fallen."

Chen Yuan smiled. "The lord has no use for me?"

That's true, but the ancestor of Hunyuan could use it.

"It seems I'll have to study the True Spirit Enslavement Technique in the future," Chen Yuan thought to himself. "When I'm able to resurrect the Primordial Ancestor, wouldn't I be able to control a large number of Primordial-level subordinates by combining it with True Spirit Enslavement?"

Just thinking about it is exciting, especially when we have to fight against the Tian Sheng Hun Yuan faction in the future.

The other side is relying on their numbers, isn't it? He simply pulled out a group of ancestral-level servants, which would surely terrify these ancestors.

"However, if this matter is exposed, it will easily make us a target for the progenitors, so I must first become a lord and master immortality."

"Before that, I'd better not reveal too many supernatural abilities, lest I attract the attention of the Natural Chaos faction."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan secretly transmitted his voice and said, "Brother Yuan, please don't publicize my ability to revive world-class Chaos Origin beings for the time being. As for those beings in the camp that need to be revived, please wait a little longer."

"I am confident that I can reach the level of Lord of Hunyuan within a century. Before that, I do not wish to attract the attention of the opposing faction."

Upon hearing this, Yuan was overjoyed. Had he broken through to the Lord level in just one decade?

So he quickly replied, "Okay, there's no rush to revive you. Let's talk about it after you break through."

"Oh right, what about Gu Jun—"

"I have spoken with Gu Jun. I will resurrect him, but I need him to go to my source world and oversee it for ten thousand epochs."

Chen Yuan said, "I will have Gu Jun conceal his identity at that time. As for the energy he needs to restore his soul and divine body, I will trouble Brother Yuan to secretly send it over."

"No problem," Yuan readily agreed. "Gu Jun was too conspicuous back then, which is why he suffered this misfortune. It would be good for him to stay with you for a while."

"By the way, how do you plan to resurrect him?"

"That's simple. Gu Jun's true spirit is in this universe. As long as there is enough energy, I can condense his soul essence at any time."

"Okay, I understand."

After the two finished their discussion in secret, in reality, Yuan said to the Jade Palace Master, "Niece Gu Yao, you just heard what Brother Chen said; he can resurrect your father."

"However, this matter is highly relevant and could easily attract the attention of the opposing camp, so after Gu Jun is resurrected, I will take him away and hide him for a period of time."

"During this period, I hope you can keep your mouth shut, otherwise if the Primordial Chaos Life Faction discovers this matter, not only will the Primordial Ancient Realm become a war zone again, but it may also affect your father again."

"I understand." The Jade Palace Master nodded emphatically. "Senior Yuan, please rest assured, I will not tell anyone about this."

"That's good." Yuan smiled, then looked at Chen Yuan, waved his hand, and trillions of Chaos Origin Crystals instantly appeared in the miniature universe.

"Brother Chen, is this energy enough to help Gu Jun condense a trace of his soul essence?"

"It's alright, brother, don't overwork yourself. Just focus on gathering a catalyst, I'll handle the rest."

"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded, then waved his hand and took all the trillions of Chaos Origin Crystals, converting them into energy reserves.

He then found Gu Jun's true spirit through the Great Path of the Soul and began to condense the essence of the soul by drawing upon his stored energy.

The resurrection has begun.
