Chapter 626: A Wisp of Lingering Soul! Nepan Fire—Resurrection of Daoist Yuan Feng!

"Explaining would be too much trouble; it's better to act directly. If you want to resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng, don't resist."

Kong Xuan was not his friend and held little use to him; the vast gap in realm made Luo Fu truly lack patience to explain to him.

Compared to explanation, action was more direct.

With a single grasp of his right hand, an invisible force immediately descended upon Kong Xuan from Luo Fu's hand.

Sensing this invisible force, Kong Xuan's body instantly stiffened, instinctively wanting to resist.

But remembering Luo Fu's earlier words, Kong Xuan suppressed his instinct and allowed Luo Fu's power to settle upon him.

Kong Xuan ultimately still trusted Luo Fu.

Kong Xuan had witnessed the battle that subdued the Buddha. He had some understanding of Luo Fu's strength.

He had directly pulled him into the Qiankun Cave Heaven and effortlessly dissolved the Conversion Light left by Saint Zhunti.

These things proved Luo Fu's methods were unfathomable.

With such unfathomable methods, Luo Fu had no need to deceive him.

Moreover, what Luo Fu spoke of was the resurrection of Daoist Yuan Feng.

If there was even a fraction of hope to resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan would pay any price.

The invisible force swiftly swept through Kong Xuan's body.

Without spending much time, this invisible force extracted a wraith from within Kong Xuan.

A wraith shaped like a phoenix.

This wraith was none other than Daoist Yuan Feng.

"Woxuan Zaohua!"

After seizing Daoist Yuan Feng's lingering soul, Luo Fu waved his hand again, sending a green light filled with profound energy toward the lingering soul.

As the power of the Dao of Creation entered Daoist Yuan Feng's lingering soul,

the nearly transparent soul, on the verge of vanishing, suddenly burst into roaring flames.

This flame differed from ordinary fire; it was not scorching, but seemed alive with vitality.

"Nepan Fire!"

Kong Xuan instantly recognized the flame upon the lingering soul and exclaimed in excitement.

Nepan Fire was the phoenix's resurrection flame.

Once this flame ignited, it meant a phoenix would be reborn from the fire.

Since Daoist Yuan Feng's lingering soul could ignite Nepan Fire, it meant Daoist Yuan Feng was undergoing rebirth from the fire.

For ordinary phoenixes, even if they could ignite Nepan Fire with only a lingering soul, it was extremely difficult to achieve rebirth from the fire.

But for Daoist Yuan Feng, as long as a single fragment of soul remained, he could use Nepan Fire to be reborn from the fire.

All this time, Daoist Yuan Feng had not revived because Kong Xuan could not ignite Nepan Fire upon his lingering soul.

Without igniting Nepan Fire, Daoist Yuan Feng could not be reborn from the fire.

As the flames continued burning, Daoist Yuan Feng's lingering soul slowly melted and coalesced, eventually forming an egg within the fire.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan's gaze grew even more excited; he held his breath, staring fixedly at the egg formed from Daoist Yuan Feng's soul, afraid he might disturb it.

Others might not recognize this egg, but Kong Xuan knew it—and knew it intimately.

That egg was none other than the legendary phoenix egg.

After transforming into an egg, the flames that had been burning were instantly absorbed by the egg.

After absorbing the flames, a sudden suction emerged from within the egg.

Sensing this suction, Kong Xuan finally snapped out of his excitement.

"Energy—Mother needs energy, vast amounts of energy to be reborn."

Kong Xuan immediately shouted aloud, and as he spoke, he began acting, trying to transmit his own energy to Daoist Yuan Feng.

Hum!

Yet before Kong Xuan could act, the entire Qiankun Cave Heaven suddenly trembled.

Outside the Hun Dun Pearl, at the base of the Two Worlds Mountain, a suction suddenly emerged, devouring vast quantities of Blood Sea water.

This Blood Sea water was transformed by the Two Worlds Mountain into energy, then transmitted into the Qiankun Cave Heaven within the Hun Dun Pearl.

Although the Qiankun Cave Heaven had been sealed inside the Hun Dun Pearl, it maintained an extremely tight connection with the Two Worlds Mountain.

The Two Worlds Mountain could be said to be the passage between the Qiankun Cave Heaven and the Underworld Blood Sea.

It was precisely because of the Two Worlds Mountain that the Qiankun Cave Heaven could open spatial gates, linking all three realms.

After absorbing the energy converted from the Blood Sea water, the Qiankun Cave Heaven channeled all of it toward Daoist Yuan Feng.

If he intended to resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng, how could Luo Fu have failed to consider the issue of energy?

The Underworld Blood Sea was infinite; using its water's converted energy to resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng was undoubtedly the most suitable method.

This was precisely why Luo Fu chose to descend upon the Underworld Blood Sea.

Splash!

Vast amounts of energy poured down like a waterfall, drenching the egg formed from Daoist Yuan Feng without restraint.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan halted his attempt to act; his gaze toward Luo Fu now held an additional trace of gratitude.

Crack!

Under the abundant influx of energy, before long, cracks began to reappear on the egg formed from Daoist Yuan Feng.

Daoist Yuan Feng's resurrection had finally reached its final stage.

Chirp!

A crystal-clear cry rang out within the Qiankun Cave Heaven.

Boom!

The egg, riddled with cracks, suddenly shattered, and a bird covered in five-colored feathers, its body marked with patterns and wreathed in flame, burst forth and soared and cried through the Qiankun Cave Heaven.

After circling the Qiankun Cave Heaven once, celebrating her rebirth, Daoist Yuan Feng extinguished the flames on her body and gently landed before Luo Fu.

"Thank you, Brother Luo Fu, for your aid—your life-saving grace, Daoist Yuan Feng shall surely repay."

A melodious voice issued from Daoist Yuan Feng's beak; she had not taken human form, but remained in her true shape.

After thanking Luo Fu, Daoist Yuan Feng turned to Kong Xuan beside her, her eyes filled with sorrow:

"Child, all these years, you have suffered so much!"

Though only a wisp of residual soul remained, Daoist Yuan Feng had witnessed every event in Kong Xuan's life over these years through their lingering bond.

Including how Luo Fu brought Kong Xuan into the Qiankun Cave Heaven and revived her.

Precisely because of this, upon her sudden rebirth, she felt no strangeness or confusion, and immediately expressed her gratitude to Luo Fu.

"Not at all, not at all—this is what I should have done. To see you reborn, I am overjoyed."

Kong Xuan had always been aloof and proud, yet before Daoist Yuan Feng, he now spoke like a child, trembling with emotion, unable to form coherent words.

"Thank you, Brother Luo Fu, thank you, Brother Luo Fu."

Still overwhelmed, Kong Xuan could not help but thank Luo Fu once again, from the depths of his heart.

"It was but a small favor. Moreover, I revived Daoist Yuan Feng for my own purposes."

Luo Fu waved his hand, signaling that neither Daoist Yuan Feng nor Kong Xuan needed to be so formal.

"What is it you wish me to do?"

Daoist Yuan Feng soothed Kong Xuan, then turned her gaze to Luo Fu and asked.

There is no such thing as a free lunch—Daoist Yuan Feng knew this well.

She did not know Luo Fu; for him to intervene and revive her, he must have had a purpose.
