The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Wuyi smiled and waved his hand, gently reassuring, "Little friend, you do not need to blame yourself. Since ancient times, methods to revive the dead have been extremely rare, and not finding them is the norm. So, it’s not your fault."

Yang Yan felt uneasy in his heart, persistently asking, "Is there really no way to revive the dead now?"

Wuyi shook his head gently and said with a sigh, "There may be many ways for low-level cultivators, and we also have such Dharma Gates. However, our cultivation is too high, and the methods for our revival are far too few."

Yang Yan silently thought that Wuyi, Three-legged Crow, and Bai Ze were renowned experts from ancient times, and their cultivation had long reached immeasurable heights.

Even though the three Dragon Children were slightly weaker, they were not far off.

Finding a revival method for such powerful beings was indeed too difficult.

Wuyi saw Yang Yan remain silent for a long time and thought he was feeling guilty for not finding a revival method for them. He exchanged glances with those around him.

Everyone shook their heads with a sense of helplessness.

Wuyi patted Yang Yan’s shoulder, comforting him, "Actually, as far as I know, there might be a way to revive us. But after tens of thousands of years, it’s uncertain if the revival item still exists."

Yang Yan looked at Wuyi with determination, saying seriously, "Regardless of whether it exists, I will certainly find the method to revive you seniors."

After everyone finished packing, Yang Yan said his goodbyes to the sect members and embarked on his journey to search for the revival method.

This journey took eight years.

During the eight years, Yang Yan and others traversed most parts of Wandering Dragon Star, including the Far North Snowfield, Western Desert, but found nothing.

Although his cultivation had not improved much, Yang Yan’s combat skills became more proficient, and his Spiritual Power grew more refined over these years.

At the same time, he constantly absorbed the array knowledge passed to him by Zhao Heng.

With his current cultivation, Yang Yan could defeat mid-stage Nascent Soul enemies solely using arrays.

Even when encountering late-stage Nascent Soul experts, they couldn’t escape for a time.

In a small teahouse in Cyan Mountain City in the southern part of Wandering Dragon Star, everyone was resting.

Yang Yan, full of worry, said, "Eight years have passed, and we’ve nearly visited every place on Wandering Dragon Star that might have the revival method. But either those places vanished, or the items were long picked. Could it be that the revival method on Wandering Dragon Star doesn’t exist in the world anymore?"

Wuyi and others seemed to take it lightly, smiling as they looked at each other, with Three-legged Crow laughing, "That’s normal. So many years have passed, times have changed, and it would be strange if it still existed."

Wuyi also nodded, "As the saying goes, ’What will be, will be, what won’t be, don’t force it.’ Little friend Yang Yan, take things easy."

Yang Yan nodded helplessly to express acceptance, then said, "Now there’s only one last place left, the Cloud Mist Mountain a thousand miles from here. It’s concealed by arrays and hard to find."

"If this place yields nothing, we’ll return to Ancient Abyss Sect. We’ll wait for Nascent Void to awaken and see if Zhao Heng left a revival method back then."

Everyone readily accepted Yang Yan’s suggestion, and that very night, they left the inn, hurrying to Cloud Mist Mountain as fast as they could.

After careful searching, they were somewhat saddened to discover the array had already been broken.

Yang Yan couldn’t help but feel disappointed but still hoped to find revival items by searching, even knowing that the chances might be slim.

Because deep inside, he truly didn’t want to miss even a tiny chance.

As they moved forward, Yang Yan gradually sensed something amiss.

He calmed his mind, extending his Spiritual Sense. Soon he discovered an array inside had been forcibly opened, leaving a trace of Demonic Qi behind.

Such pure Demonic Qi had only appeared on the Celestial Demon King!

Could it be that the Celestial Demon King used the Golden Cicada’s Shell method back then?

Was the one who died a fake stand-in?!

The more Yang Yan thought, the more he believed it was possible.

The Celestial Demon King was naturally crafty; wouldn’t it have left an escape route for itself?!

If true, it would be terrifying.

So many years had passed; who knows to what extent the Celestial Demon King had restored its realm...

Yang Yan immediately shared his guess with everyone.

Everyone was astonished.

Wuyi pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression, "Little friend Yang’s conjecture might be true! The Celestial Demon King survived from ancient times until now; it certainly knows the revival site, possibly even more detailed than us."

"However, the Six-leaf Golden Lotus here can only repair soul damage. If it truly seized the opportunity, who knows to what realm it has restored over the years."

"If we don’t care about the cost, we can barely reach the initial Divinity Transformation level in combat power, barely enough to go and explore."

Yang Yan resolutely said, "The Celestial Demon King must die! If it doesn’t die, it will return someday when no one can stop it, and the devastation will be unavoidable."

Seeing that no one disagreed, Yang Yan led the group secretly to the place where the Six-leaf Golden Lotus was located.

Sure enough, at the birthplace of the Six-leaf Golden Lotus, there sat a puppet.

The puppet was crafted entirely from a mix of Profound Iron crystals and Celestial Meteorite Iron, its surface emanating a cold luster.

The soul fluctuations clearly belonged to the Celestial Demon King!

Yang Yan secretly signaled everyone; then, with a swing of his hand, the Spirit Trapping Array was unleashed, rapidly expanding and shining with golden light toward the Celestial Demon King.

Without hesitation, everyone attacked.

Wuyi unleashed the Heaven-Overturning Seal, with thunderous light hitting the puppet’s body before the Celestial Demon King could react.

Unfortunately, even with near full force, the attack didn’t shatter it; it left only a deep palm print on the body’s surface.

Furthermore, the attacks from Three-legged Crow, Bai Ze, and the three Dragon Children followed, but the Celestial Demon King had reacted quickly, dodging swiftly.

Though it was in disarray, it didn’t suffer any fatal blows.

The alarmed Celestial Demon King discovered Yang Yan and roared angrily, "Ant, again you ruin my plans! Today, you will stay here forever!"

The Celestial Demon King’s Demonic Qi violently surged; the Spirit Trapping Array immediately became overwhelmed and shattered with a thunderous boom, disintegrating into golden light, vanished without a trace.

Boom!

The Celestial Demon King struck out a palm; Yang Yan hurriedly used his Body Technique for full evasion.

However, as Yang Yan used Void Movement, the Celestial Demon King’s attack still shadowed him, precisely falling on him.

Yang Yan frowned, only having time to summon Nascent Void to guard the crucial parts before being sent flying.

Three-legged Crow and Bai Ze sensed trouble and quickly gathered their strength to block the Celestial Demon King, aiming to buy time for Yang Yan.
