2215 The backup plan arranged by the Sage
The fake Fairy Yuanyuan stared closely at the four figures in the beam of light.
She was trying to figure out which among the four figures was the Venerable Emperor.
It was only after recognizing him that she could go and protect him while he was being resurrected.
However, the four beams of light were way too dazzling, and they contained the laws and principles behind resurrection. The fake Fairy Yuanyuan strained her eyes, but she could only see a vague outline of the four tall figures.
After staring at the beams for a while, she felt her eyes begin to swell, just as if they could burst apart at any moment.
The fake Fairy Yuanyuan hurriedly closed her sore eyes, bloody tears flowing down from her eye sockets.
The resurrection formation laid down by the Scholarly Sage was simply too high level. It contained the mysteries behind the resurrection of Immortals. With her strength, if she were to look at it for a long time, let alone her eyes, even her soul may end up getting damaged.
Due to her insufficient strength, she was forced to stop looking at the four beams of light.
In fact, the fake Fairy Yuanyuan was very fortunate that she had a strong will—if her will had not been firm enough, she would not have been able to draw her eyes away from the four beams of light, and her eyes may have directly exploded.
When the fake Fairy Yuanyuan turned her head and opened her sore eyes again, she saw the fake Tyrannical Song, White Dragon, Sixteen, Skylark, and the black-skinned Soft Feather staring at the four pillars of light.
It was as if they were not feeling any discomfort at all!
How can this be? Several of these people are far weaker than I am. Why can they keep staring at the beams of light of the Scholarly Sage’s resurrection formation while I can’t?
Are they all cheating or something?
The fake Fairy Yuanyuan turned her head again to look at her last possible consolation—the fake Venerable Azure Reckless.
There is nothing special about this fellow. When he was suppressed by the Tribulation Transcender’s aura earlier, he curled up into a ball. If it’s him, he’d definitely do worse than me, right?
When she looked at Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, she saw that he was also staring at her.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber was holding a very large saber in his hand, dragging it back and forth while sawing a branch. This branch was the one that had sprouted from Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s back.
“You finally found out?” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber smiled brightly and began to speed up his sawing.
Fake Fairy Yuanyuan: “…”
“Fairy, let me ask you a question. When I saw through this branch, does it hurt?” asked Thrice Reckless Mad Saber. He sawed even harder with his saber, sparks flying from the branch.
This guy does not play by the rules at all!
Why is he not attracted to the laws of the Scholarly Sage’s resurrection formation?
Does he have a firm will, or are there other reasons?
The golden light shining from the four pillars of light became stronger and stronger, congealing into substance. The four figures wrapped by the pillars of light were completely submerged by the light.
Sister White Dragon said curiously, “By the way, is this resurrection supposed to be a buy one get three free?”
“If the Scholarly Sage’s resurrection formation was completed with the data and information of the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable Emperor, then it should be a buy two get two free,” said the black Scarlet Heaven Sword.
The virtuous lamia was floating behind Senior White, and the black Scarlet Heaven Sword moved past her, also looking at the four beams of light.
Sixteen raised her doubts and said, “The question is, are the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable Emperor really being resurrected?”
[I have a way to verify it.] Song Shuhang in the Universe Hiding Sleeve said to them using group sound transmission.
He quickly opened his Cultivation chat and sent a drop of energy to the Heavenly Emperor.
Then, he added a postscript. [Fairy Heavenly Emperor, are you there? I have a question for you… Have you begun resurrecting?]
It was a rude thing to ask, but the most effective method to verify the situation was to simply ask one of the involved parties.
After a while, the Heavenly Emperor sent back a drop of energy, and wrote: [Senior Song, I am not dead, so why would I need to resurrect? Are you cursing me? Be careful or I will kill you!]
Song Shuhang nodded silently. After that, he sent a voice transmission to Senior White and the others, “The Heavenly Emperor is still alive and well, and she is not resurrecting. It is certain that she is not among the four figures.”
After saying that, he thought of Fairy Cheng Lin—I almost forgot about that sneaky woman. She’s the one behind this incident, so she probably knows why four people are being resurrected by the Scholarly Sage’s resurrection formation.
When he thought of that, Song Shuhang quickly sent a drop of energy to Fairy Cheng Lin, with a postscript: [Fairy Cheng Lin, the Scholarly Sage’s resurrection formation has been activated. Someone from the Venerable Emperor’s party has completed the resurrection formation, and now there are four beams of light rising from the black lake, and it seems like there are four people who are resurrecting.]
Fairy Cheng Lin replied very quickly: [What? There are four people being resurrected? How can that be?!]
She looked shocked.
As the mastermind behind the scenes, she did not seem to expect that four beings would be resurrected at the same time.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Fairy, you are so unprofessional.
Song Shuhang sent another point of energy and postscript: [Fairy Cheng Lin, you’re the one who lured the Venerable Emperor’s subordinates into attacking the base of the survivors of the Ancient Heavenly City and made them bring a modified magical treasure containing the Venerable Emperor’s information. Who were you planning on resurrecting?]
The Venerable Emperor’s subordinates naturally wanted to resurrect the Venerable Emperor.
The survivors of the Heavenly City want to revive the Heavenly Emperor, who was still alive by the way.
Fairy Cheng Lin and Daozi had joined forces, and there had to be someone or some people who they wanted to resurrect.
However, Fairy Cheng Lin did not reply to him right away. She was currently busy looking for Daozi and several others.
At this moment, Senior White said, “They are being revealed.”
The light of the four pillars of light began to dissipate.
After that, four tall and elegant men materialized in mid-air.
The four men were standing right next to one another.
The first man was gentle and elegant, and he looked easy to approach.
The second man appeared to be high-spirited and confident, and he looked brilliant.
The third man was handsome, and he looked quite refined.
The fourth man had a blank face, and he looked like a bookworm at first glance.
“Eh?” Song Shuhang was taken aback.
He actually knew the four men.
To be precise, Song Shuhang once saw the corpses of these four people.
Last time, he had personally brought the bodies of these Tribulation Transcenders back to the scholarly faction, and then the scholarly faction had arranged their burial.
These four were a part of the scholarly faction’s Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders.
The resurrection of these four people could be said to be beyond everyone’s expectations.
Neither the survivors of the Heavenly City, the Venerable Emperor’s subordinates, nor Cheng Lin, the mastermind behind the scenes, thought that this would be the outcome.
“Who are you? Where is the Venerable Emperor?!” The fake Fairy Yuanyuan stared at the four men wide-eyed.
The greater the expectations, the worse the disappointment.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber chuckled. He raised the saber in his hand, and chopped off the branch that he had sawed down until there was only a thin strip of it left.
Skylark’s hand had never left the black lake, a calm expression on her face.
It seemed she realized what was happening earlier on.
Skylark said, “This is the backup plan he had left behind for his disciples.”
From the very beginning, this was not a formation for the Scholarly Sage’s own resurrection—this large formation was arranged for his disciples.
Song Shuhang asked, “In other words, this is a resurrection formation designed for the Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders that have died… If that’s the case, what about the lustrous scholar?”
