Ling Tian Sword God

Are you finally waking up?

Ling Chen felt a surge of excitement in his heart. To obtain this Saint’s Soul Niche, he had exerted considerable effort. Even though he didn’t want to do something against the Ling Family, he did it for Xia Yunxin.

Although he had endured countless hardships before, as long as he could revive Xia Yunxin, all his efforts would be worth it.

For him, Xia Yunxin died.

This is what he owes her.

That’s why Ling Chen took such great risks to obtain the Saint’s Soul Niche from the Ling Family.

In his sight, the Hades Supreme sprinkled the Talisman Water and then took out a Holy Spirit Talisman, which was the sacred object previously used to store Xia Yunxin’s fragmented soul.

This black rune slowly flew out of Hades Supreme’s hand, stopping below the Saint’s Soul Niche.

As strands of blue light emanated from the Saint’s Soul Niche and penetrated the Holy Spirit Talisman, a ”hum” sound emerged, releasing wisps of white smoke from within the talisman.

The Hades Supreme carefully activated the Saint’s Soul Niche, from which blue threads extended suddenly, reaching into the Holy Spirit Talisman and gradually drawing out the thick white smoke.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen felt a slight stir in his heart. This scene was very similar to the soul resurrection ritual he witnessed in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Back then, the High Priest failed due to exhaustion, but fortunately, the Hades Supreme did not face such a problem now.

Could it be successful this time?

Ling Chen’s excitement grew stronger.

The Hades Supreme recited an obscure ancient mantra, suddenly shouting loudly. The pulling force of the blue threads suddenly strengthened, pulling out a large amount of white mist. Vaguely, he could already see the mist gather into a spiritual form under the effect of the Saint’s Soul Niche.

”Return the soul!”

Another loud shout, the Hades Supreme formed a hand seal, and the Holy Spirit Talisman trembled sharply, releasing clusters of differently colored light into the spiritual form.

The three souls and seven spirits recombined!

Ling Chen could even see the outline of the spiritual form’s face; Xia Yunxin’s visage appeared in his mind.

”One, two, three...eight, nine...”

Watching the light clusters fly into the spiritual form one after another, the final light cluster emerged, and the Holy Spirit Talisman rapidly dimmed.

”No, one spirit is missing.”

The Hades Supreme’s expression changed, but the Holy Spirit Talisman was clearly devoid of any more souls and had completely lost its voice.

”Missing a spirit, how is that possible?”

Ling Chen stood frozen, his face becoming extremely grim. The three souls and seven spirits are essential, losing any means an incomplete soul.

The Hades Supreme frowned, ”Before me, did you find someone else for this girl’s soul restoration?”

”More than a year ago, I had a Barbarian Priest attempt a resurrection for her, but it ultimately failed.”

Ling Chen replied truthfully, worry appearing in his eyes, ”Could it be during that time one spirit was lost?”

”Most likely.”

The Hades Supreme’s face darkened, ”You must gather all three souls and seven spirits to awaken this girl. Missing one spirit means even if forcibly awakened, not only could it easily fail, but she couldn’t be normal even if it succeeds.”

”And if it fails, her soul will completely scatter, leaving nothing recoverable. If you give up now, it’s not too late, though keeping her soul in the Holy Spirit Talisman is not a long-term solution. Her soul is already dissipating; without resurrection, it will continue to dissipate.”

The Hades Supreme’s words echoed around Ling Chen.

Ling Chen’s eyes flickered intensely, not a normal person, implying that even if Xia Yunxin was awoken forcibly, she might end up as a vegetable or mindless, not a normal person.

But he searched the Nine Provinces to find the Hades Supreme for Xia Yunxin’s resurrection. Even if there’s someone else capable, does he have time to find them?

”Hades Supreme, please continue.”

Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly sparked, as if he finally made up his mind. He had few choices, even if Xia Yunxin awakens abnormal, it’s better than her soul scattering.

”Alright.”

Since it’s Ling Chen’s decision, the Hades Supreme said no more, pushing herself to the limit, with the final result beyond her control.

With her hands clasped, the Hades Supreme recited a mantra, manipulating the spiritual form downward toward Xia Yunxin’s corpse, returning to her body visibly.

At this moment, Ling Chen’s heart felt like it was in his throat; the outcome was imminent.

In an instant, Xia Yunxin’s three souls and six spirits all entered her body.

The Hades Supreme’s nerves were stretched to the limit, sweat evident on her brow, clearly showing how crucial the moment was.

Encased in ghostly blue light, Xia Yunxin’s body appeared translucent, glowing; when the brilliance peaked, it suddenly dimmed like extinguished candles.

The ghostly blue light dissipated quickly.

Seeing this, Ling Chen’s face changed suddenly. Though unfamiliar with Soul Resurrection Technique, this sudden event was obviously a sign of the Hades Supreme failing!

Ling Chen’s heart sank; if the Hades Supreme failed, Xia Yunxin’s remaining three souls and six spirits would undoubtedly vanish completely!

His fists clenched, powerless to help, but as he burnt with anxiety, the Saint’s Soul Niche suddenly shook violently, echoing intense soul screams as if numerous souls clashed, emitting piercing sounds shaking their souls.

After the intense shaking, a ”whoosh” occurred, and an odd black beam shot from the Soul Niche, heading for the coffin, entering Xia Yunxin’s brow.

The surprising turn left the Hades Supreme speechless; following it, the Saint’s Soul Niche and Holy Spirit Talisman lost radiance, dropping powerlessly from the sky.

”Damn...did it still fail?”

Ling Chen punched the giant coffin, expressing his frustration and anger.

Yet, lifting his head after this punch, his gaze caught Xia Yunxin’s dormant body, and her right-hand finger twitched slightly, pulling sharply at Ling Chen’s heart.
