Chapter 419

Qi Tianchen pondered for a moment,

then bowed to Jiang Chen and said: "Then I will trouble Young Master Jiang to ask my Master, that old gentleman, whether he is still in this world after you meet my junior brother."

Although he had a premonition in his heart,

he still wanted to get confirmation from his junior brother.

Back then, the Daoist Qingfeng took Mo Yi to the overseas immortal mountains to help Mo Yi find a method of resurrection.

Qi Tianchen knew his own talent was limited, and even if he followed, he wouldn't be of much help, so he stayed in the Northern Li Dynasty and became the Northern Li Imperial Preceptor, in charge of the Imperial Observatory.

Jiang Chen knew that the Daoist Qingfeng had already passed away twenty years ago.

However, he did not tell Qi Tianchen at this moment, only nodding gently.

"Also..."

Qi Tianchen wanted to say something more,

but after thinking about it, he finally just sighed lightly: "Forget it, that's all. If I say too much, my junior brother certainly won't want to listen."

"Alright then."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "In that case, my Master and I will be setting off."

After Jiang Chen and Li Hanyi left, the Star Moon Pavilion fell into a brief silence.

A moment later,

Xie Zhize's voice rang out:

"Imperial Preceptor, were you just trying to pass a message to Mo Yi through Young Master Jiang, saying that there is no such thing as a resurrection technique in this world?"

"My junior brother's sister has been gone for decades; her flesh has turned to bone, and the bones have long since turned to ash. Even if one cultivates into a true immortal, how can one bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones?"

Qi Tianchen said softly:

"It's just... if my junior brother could understand this, he wouldn't have fallen into the path of a Ghost Immortal. So, whether I say it or not, it is actually the same."

Xie Zhize heard this and could not help but ask again:

"Then what you said to Li Hanyi earlier was also just to comfort her?"

He had entered the Earth Immortal Realm through martial arts,

so in many areas, he actually knew less than Qi Tianchen, a half-step Spirit-Wandering Daoist.

Hearing Xie Zhize's words,

Qi Tianchen nodded, then shook his head:

"The profundity of the Dao is such that even after studying it for a lifetime, this old Daoist cannot even be considered to have entered the gate. So, regarding Brother Xie's question, this old Daoist truly does not know how to answer."

"However..."

"Many years ago, I saw a formation in an ancient book collected by my Master, called the Ghost Gate Formation. The book records that through this formation, one can summon back the souls of the departed."

"At that time, one only needs to find a body compatible with that soul to carry it, and one can resurrect the dead."

"Not to mention whether this formation truly possesses such ability, but even if it did, do you think the resurrected person would still be the original person?"

Xie Zhize could not help but frown:

"Then what if the body used to carry the soul is the soul's own original body?"

He recalled that when Li Hanyi asked Qi Tianchen earlier if it was possible to resurrect the dead, Qi Tianchen did not say it was possible, but he did not directly deny it either.

"Brother Xie, I am not even in the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm, so how could I know?"

Qi Tianchen smiled faintly:

"I can only say that everything is possible. Resurrection techniques may or may not exist. If Brother Xie wants to know, you will naturally understand when you cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

"What I am more curious about now is, what does Brother Xie think of Young Master Jiang's strength?"

Qi Tianchen looked at Xie Zhize and asked with a smile: "And Brother Xie has been in the Earth Immortal Realm for many years; if compared to Young Master Jiang, how do you fare?"

Hearing Qi Tianchen's words,

Xie Zhize pondered for a moment, then held up three fingers.

"Does Brother Xie mean that Young Master Jiang is at least three tiers higher than you?" Qi Tianchen raised an eyebrow.

"If the Imperial Preceptor thinks so, that is also acceptable."

Xie Zhize smiled lightly: "However, what I mean is that if I were to face Young Master Jiang in a direct duel, I could at most take three of his moves."

Qi Tianchen was stunned: "That strong?"

Xie Zhize looked at Qi Tianchen gloomily: "Are you referring to me or Young Master Jiang?"

However, very quickly,

he laughed at himself: "No matter who is being referred to, it seems there is no problem."

"This is in the case of a direct battle. If Young Master Jiang also understands some assassination techniques... I, Xie, wouldn't even be able to take a single move."

Thinking that he hadn't even been able to sense a trace of the other party's aura just now,

Xie Zhize felt a chill run down his back.

With such strength,

if he wanted to kill him, it would be far too easy.

On the other side,

Jiang Chen controlled the Executioner Immortal Sword, speeding toward the East Sea at a rate more than ten times faster than Li Hanyi's earlier speed.

"Disciple."

"Hmm?"

"What realm have you reached now?"

Li Hanyi looked at Jiang Chen with some curiosity and could not help but ask.

Previously,

the reason she had never asked about Jiang Chen's realm was that, in her view, no matter what realm Jiang Chen had reached, he was still her disciple.

But now, after listening to Qi Tianchen's words,

she was somewhat curious about how far Jiang Chen was from that Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Regarding Jiang Chen's cultivation speed, she could say she knew it better than anyone.

When she first met Jiang Chen,

she could clearly see his travel-worn, rather disheveled appearance, which absolutely could not have been faked.

That is to say,

Jiang Chen's strength had indeed only been able to advance by leaps and bounds after arriving in Snow Moon City.

0..... 0

Of course,

the reason she asked this,

was not to place the hope of resurrecting her father and mother on Jiang Chen, but simply out of curiosity about Jiang Chen's realm.

Because just now in the Star Moon Pavilion of the Imperial Observatory,

she could clearly feel Xie Zhize's nervousness when he first saw Jiang Chen.

As one of the five great Sword Immortals of the Northern Li Dynasty and a disciple of Li Changsheng, she naturally knew how terrifying Xie Zhize's strength was.
