Chapter 81: The possibility of resurrection, the Samsara Heavenly Life Technique

Because of the power Ye Xuan displayed last night, the Imperial Capital's Heavenly Pivot Bureau felt it was inconceivable. They once again asked Su Mengyao for all information regarding Ye Xuan, and demanded it be even more detailed.

But aside from Silly Girl, she had never hidden Ye Xuan's information to begin with. And as for Silly Girl, it was even more impossible for her to tell them unless Ye Xuan exposed her himself.

She hadn't thought about telling them before, and now that Ye Xuan had directly revealed Stage Five strength, it was even more impossible for her to speak.

If she did, the Imperial Capital's General Bureau would certainly think she had been concealing things previously. As for Ye Xuan, even if he might not care, there was a high probability that his favorability toward her would decrease.

Why would she say anything about a situation that would displease both sides?

If the Imperial Capital's Heavenly Pivot Bureau had any dissatisfaction, they could go ask Ye Xuan themselves, but she felt they didn't have the courage for that.

"Just decide for yourself."

Zhou Chen said indifferently, though deep down he felt a bit of envy toward Su Mengyao.

The holder of a Myriad Realms treasure who had signed a contract had stepped into Stage Five, reaching the same level as Master Zhong. Regardless of whether Su Mengyao had hidden information about Ye Xuan, it was destined that she would rise in rank in the future.

There was no other reason; Ye Xuan was the best reason.

"Let's resolve the matter at hand first."

"The dust of an era, when it falls on an individual, is a mountain."

The beast tide caused by mutated creatures under the Qi tide was resolved quickly. With Da Xia well-prepared, they quelled all the beast tides in just twelve hours.

It seemed the mutated beast tide hadn't caused much impact on Da Xia, and they had achieved a great victory; however, how could there be no deaths in war?

Even if the number of people who died was small, so small that many didn't care, for the families of the deceased, it was a fact difficult to accept no matter what.

Clearly, these deaths could have been avoided.

If there were no pets or livestock kept at home; if they had paid attention to the Heavenly Pivot Bureau's announcements; if they could have returned home earlier that night; there were too many "ifs," but reality had no "ifs."

The deaths had already occurred, and those who died could not come back.

All they could do was go to the Heavenly Pivot Bureau to claim their bodies, then cremate them, hold funerals, suppress the pain in their hearts, and live as they had in the past, letting time fade the pain.

Although cruel, this was reality.

The Qi tide had arrived, the concentration of Qi in the air had increased, and more and more people were awakening abilities. Blue Star had stepped into a new era, and it seemed everything was getting better; but just as Ye Xuan said, this was the best of times, and also the worst of times.

Those who survived could witness the leap of the era, gaining extraordinary power and long lifespans in this new age; while those who died had nothing.

However, they should also be glad, glad that this era had endless possibilities.

Extraordinary power returned to the self, powers from fantasy works appeared in reality, and the resurrection of the dead seemed to have become something not impossible to achieve.

Even among the Myriad Realms treasures that had appeared so far, there was one that possessed the possibility of resurrecting the dead.

The Sharingan.

Although it was only a two-tomoe Sharingan, it possessed the possibility of evolving into a Rinnegan. Even if this possibility was extremely slim, it was not non-existent.

If one day in the future, the Sharingan evolved into a Rinnegan and the Samsara Heavenly Life Technique was confirmed to be usable, then perhaps everything would change.

Resurrecting countless people with one person's lifespan, and even those who had died could be resurrected subsequently; it was feared that countless people would be willing to pay with their own lives, just to have their loved ones resurrected.

But the premise was that the Rinnegan's Samsara Heavenly Life Technique could be used in reality.

"Stage Three mutated creatures, there are actually more than one born."

"Should I say, as expected of Mount Kunlun?"

After the Hangcheng beast tide ended, Ye Xuan, who had returned to Mount Kunlun, looked at the mutated snow leopard he was about to beat to death, his words filled with some emotion.

Da Xia's definition of "Stage Three" was the ability to confront small armed forces head-on, possessing a certain resistance to conventional thermal weapons; the ability to maintain high-intensity combat for long periods with internal Qi, and the ability to cast large-scale abilities.

The best way to reflect this was the amount of Qi possessed within the body.

At least in Ye Xuan's view, neither the mutated antelope he had hunted previously that had eaten the "Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Ancient Species, Mammoth Form," nor the mutated Tibetan horse bear that had eaten unknown natural treasures and could ignore bullet damage, counted as "Stage Three."

However, the former, in its mammoth form, would not be weaker in combat power than a Stage Three mutated creature.

And the mutated snow leopard in his hands was a true Stage Three mutated creature. Not only was the amount of Qi in its body far greater than all the mutated creatures Ye Xuan had encountered before, but it also possessed extremely strong destructive power.

Speed, strength, reaction ability—there were no shortcomings, and it also mastered the ability to manipulate ice.

Ye Xuan had thought that after the Qi tide arrived, Stage Three ability users and mutated creatures would be born within a certain period, but he hadn't thought it would be this fast.

In less than a day, a Stage Three mutated creature had appeared.

Was it because it had reached the critical point between Stage Two and Stage Three before the Qi tide, and thus absorbed enough Qi after the tide to undergo metamorphosis?

The Qi in Mount Kunlun was already higher than in the cities, and it contained a large amount of biological resources. It seemed normal for mutated creatures to reach Stage Three under the Qi tide, but this was only Kunlun.

What about the ocean?

In the deep sea, those sea beasts that were already as huge as monsters—had they also mutated under the Qi tide, and perhaps even faster than the humans and beasts on land?

"Awoo—"

The mutated snow leopard's painful hiss pulled Ye Xuan back to reality. He looked down at the dying mutated snow leopard.

"I actually forgot about you."

Ye Xuan slowly squatted down, his palm gently covering the snow leopard's neck.

"Crack."

With a soft sound, Ye Xuan decisively ended its life. The mutated snow leopard's pupils dilated instantly, its body twitched one last time, and then it went completely limp.

Being able to step into Stage Three within just one day after the Qi tide erupted was indeed rare. Even among all creatures, including humans, at the same point in time, not many had stepped into Stage Three.

That this mutated snow leopard could do it—whether it was talent or opportunity—didn't matter. What mattered was that it had shown the potential to become a powerhouse.

Ye Xuan was actually looking forward to more powerhouses appearing in this era. Whether it was humans or mutated beasts, he hoped for more powerhouses to be born.

But this would not be a reason for him to let his enemies grow.

Not to mention that this world was not just a world of Qi recovery, and the dimensional objects from human fantasy had a greater impact on reality than Qi; even if this world were just a world of Qi recovery, he would not leave hidden dangers for himself for the sake of so-called "future opponents."

He didn't think these enemies would have the qualifications to catch up to his rate of strength improvement in the future, and becoming his opponent was one thing; if they really caused him trouble, wouldn't he be asking for it?

However, encountering this mutated snow leopard was purely accidental. The reason he came to Kunlun was not to hunt mutated creatures.

Stage Two, Stage Three, or even Stage Four—none of it would make him feel any interest.

He came here just to use the Rat Talisman to manifest an opponent, and the identity of this opponent was also different from all his past opponents.
