Chapter 6034: Reviving The Dead

Minisun stuck around, still eating snacks as always. Her pocket seemed to have an endless source.

“Young Noble, what about that thing?” Unrivalled asked softly, referring to the cursed man.

She had never seen his true appearance during their battle due to the hair created from the tribulation.

“He went where he should.” Li Qiye said.

Despite the casual response, she understood the process must have been shocking. She nearly died in the battle against this darkness if Li Qiye didn’t come in time.

“Your Majesty, what’s the source of the disaster?” Minisun couldn’t help but ask.

Splendor Terra’s barrier should have been unbreakable, being the strongest defense in Sin. It had guaranteed Splendor’s safety for eras to come. However, something broke it in just one night.

“I don’t know.” Unrivalled had a bitter smile as she responded: “We found a cocoon wrapping around a coffin. I’ve never seen anything like it before so I removed the outer layer.”

“You courted death.” Li Qiye remarked.

The imperious cultivator turned red like a bashful teenager and nodded: “You’re right, Young Noble. A dark force erupted with the cocoon removed and the hairy existence rushed out to attack us. We stood no chance at first.”

Unrivalled was still terrified recalling the event. Splendor Terra was nearly destroyed then and there.

“The opponent still had a sliver of sanity and held back or you wouldn’t be standing here right now.” Li Qiye smiled.

“That strong?” Minisun gasped: “So what was it?”

“I don’t know, looks like a human but not one, monstrous strength not belonging to the grand dao but rather, a terrifying curse. It emanated from both him and the coffin.” Unrivalled responded.

She nearly died without Li Qiye’s interference and only lasted long with the protection of many treasures.

“A living human, just like the two of you.” Li Qiye took a sip of tea and said.

“What was that power then?” Unrivalled asked. She had met primal ancestors before but this was something different and terrifying.

“A sign of displeasure from the high heaven.” Li Qiye glanced at her, surprising both listeners.

“What triggered it?” Minisun asked.

Cultivation was a path against the heaven and the natural order. However, this act didn’t invite any direct action from the high heaven, not even primal ancestors or the mythical overlords. A few exceptions were made with tribulations, not anything like this.

“So the curse came from the high heaven.” Unrivalled took a deep breath.

“So what did this person do?” Minisun asked. Destruction and mass murder didn’t warrant this so-called curse.

“Reviving the dead.” Li Qiye took another sip before answering.

“In the coffin.” Unrivalled had sensed something alive in the coffin during their battle.

“Is that possible?” Minisun blurted: “How strong does one need to be? An overlord, or an immortal?”

“Would this place be here if he were an immortal?” Li Qiye chuckled.

As top cultivators, they understood that the dead couldn’t be revived. Anything closely resembling this meant the target was not truly dead. For example, an emperor being crucified with a dao fruit or a sliver of dao behind. This was not true death and a revival was possible with the help of a mighty cultivator.

“How did he do it?” Unrivalled asked because she couldn’t revive a dead mortal despite having access to the best alchemy materials.

However, the curse meant that the guy must have been successful in his endeavor.

“Because she was different.” Li Qiye sighed: “She was not from this world, and the bond between them was special. They were intertwined even in life and death.”

“It is related to our place.” Unrivalled thought of a legend.

“Your palaces have been around since the ancient time, they have the same origin.” Li Qiye revealed.

“Master told me before.” Unrivalled nodded.
