Chapter 740

Moreover, being able to have a physical body and live a normal life is naturally better than this ghostly appearance.

So no matter what, he is extremely eager to get rid of his current state.

And when Xiao Yan heard Xuan Kongzi say that he possessed a resurrection secret on his body, he also guessed the latter's intention.

After receiving the other's gaze, he became even clearer about this.

Then, in the hopeful gaze of that two-star Battle Venerable, he smiled and said, "Senior, rest assured, you have become like this, and I, as the junior, also bear some responsibility; naturally I will help you restore your physical body."

"Really, that couldn't be better!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's cheerful agreement, that two-star Battle Venerable immediately exclaimed in delight.

"Hehe, the fish has taken the bait."

Seeing the other's expression, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly lightened, and then he feigned a bit of regret, saying: "However, this secret technique of mine has some flaws; if you, Senior, use your original physical body, at most you can only recover to the Battle Sect pinnacle realm."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, that two-star Battle Venerable's face instantly turned pale with shock.

For a moment, the whole person stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

After all, he had painstakingly trained for over three hundred years, endured countless life-and-death crises, before finally reaching the realm of a two-star Battle Venerable.

If this time his strength falls back to the Battle Sect realm, wanting to return to the Battle Venerable realm would take over a hundred years, which is simply impossible.

But his lifespan now is at most about two hundred years.

And the closer one gets to the day of death, the smaller the chance of a cultivator's breakthrough.

In that case, wouldn't it be that by the day of his death, he might never be able to cultivate back to his original realm?

Seeing the other's unbearable appearance, Xiao Yan's mouth corner instantly curled into a smile.

He knew that, as long as the other party found it increasingly unacceptable that his own strength had regressed.

Then he would be more likely to successfully deceive the other party and go with him to the Soul Hall to rescue his teacher.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan chuckled inwardly, his expression slightly furrowed, and said: "Senior, if you wish to restore your original strength, it is not entirely without possibility."

Upon saying this, the former paused.

Hearing that the former still had a method, that two-star Battle Venerable hurriedly asked: "Xiao Yan, little brother, what exactly is the method? Speak quickly, I'm about to go crazy with anxiety!"

While speaking, the former, being overly anxious, did not think of anything else at all.

However, this cannot be blamed on that two-star Battle Venerable for not noticing the former's oddness; it is because, aside from ancient clans and those with special physiques, ordinary clan members.

Wanting to successfully break through to Battle Venerable, the odds are truly minuscule.

Out of a thousand geniuses who have hope of breaking through to Battle Venerable, only one can survive to the end and fortunately actually break through to the Battle Venerable realm.

And those geniuses with hope of breaking through to Battle Venerable, on the Qi Continent, can be said to be one in a hundred million.

Furthermore, those Battle Venerables from ordinary forces basically rely on time accumulation and some fortuitous encounters to successfully step into the Battle Venerable realm.

And over their lifetimes, ninety-nine percent of these people can only be stuck at the low intermediate Battle Venerable.

Therefore, for these ordinary Battle Venerables, each star beyond the Battle Venerable realm is extremely precious.

Now, upon hearing that his painstakingly earned two-star Battle Venerable status, achieved after hundreds of years of struggle, would fall to the Battle Sect pinnacle, he naturally became extremely anxious.

After all, as a Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist, even if he were to exhaust his fortune.

He might not necessarily be able to find the heavenly treasures or elixirs that could help him break through from the Battle Sect pinnacle to the Battle Venerable realm.

Having once experienced breaking through from Battle Sect to Battle Venerable, he naturally knows how difficult it is.

Initially, he was stuck at the Battle Sect pinnacle realm for nearly two hundred years before breaking through the Battle Sect barrier and entering the Battle Venerable realm.

Although he already has experience, walking this path a second time will be somewhat easier.

But without spending over a hundred years, he cannot possibly return to that Battle Venerable realm.

Therefore, upon learning that Xiao Yan had a method to help him restore his original realm, he naturally became extremely urgent.

And this urgency of his makes it impossible for him to calm down and think carefully, naturally making him easy to be led by the nose.

Seeing the former's impatient look, Xiao Yan smirked inwardly, outwardly shook his head helplessly, and said: "Unless you can find a corpse from before death with the strength of a high-level Battle Venerable, plus the essence blood of a magic beast of high-level Battle Venerable rank, and at least a Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill that has undergone five-colored pill lightning or higher."

"As long as you possess these materials, I can make your strength return to its original state, and even, under the push of that tremendous energy, enable you to break through to six-star, even seven-star Battle Venerable!"

Upon saying that, Xiao Yan's eyes instantly flashed with a glint of sharp light.

He didn't believe that, under such temptation, the former would not be moved.

"Seven-star Battle Venerable?!"

Hearing those four words, that two-star Battle Venerable's face also flashed with excitement.

That realm, if he cultivated step by step, would likely be impossible for him to reach in his lifetime.

At most, he could probably only cultivate up to around three-star Battle Venerable.

But now, as long as he finds those things and asks Xiao Yan to perform that resurrection secret technique, he can easily attain the realm he once dreamed of.

Such an effortless gain temptation undoubtedly stirred the greed hidden deep within his heart.

And this emotion constantly corrodes his reason, driving him mad.

But thinking of those required materials, the former's face again showed a deep look of disappointment.

Those materials, even when he was alive, could not be gathered, let alone now in this ghostly form.

"Hehe, if after your resurrection you can do something for this little guy, we can instead help you gather these materials."

At that moment, Xuan Kongzi, who had been silent for a long time at the side, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and laughed lightly.

Hearing the former suddenly speak, that two-star Battle Venerable's brows immediately furrowed tightly.

Although, under the temptation of promotion, he somewhat wanted to agree outright and then have the three giants quickly find materials to revive himself.

But thinking that if this could get the three giants of the Pill Tower to give him so many good things, it certainly wouldn't be simple.

Therefore, he also temporarily suppressed his nature and asked: "I don't know what you want me to do, what is it?"

"Help him go to the Soul Hall branch to rescue someone."

Seeing the previous asker, Xuan Kongzi also did not conceal it, and lightly said this matter.

"What, go to Soul Hall?!"

Upon hearing the words 'Soul Hall', the two-star Battle Venerable immediately cried out sharply.

Immediately, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "I just barely escaped death from the Soul Hall Heavenly Venerable's hands; going to the Soul Hall again would be delivering myself to the door—this old man can't do this."

After the previous Star Domain battle, he had long been terrified by the Soul Hall, his courage shattered.

Now, upon suddenly hearing that they must go to the Soul Hall, how could he dare to go?
