Chapter 319: Ink Reflections of Life, The Academy’s Art of Resurrection (Part 2)



——That immortal formation was set up by the progenitor of Qiongguan Mountain, the direct disciple of Fenghou, to ensure that the Tao Furnace Realm would not be invaded by any external souls.

After all, during times of war in the world, it often happens that powerful beings invade another world with their True Spirit, skillfully planning and finally achieving certain results.

The founders of the various sects in the Tao Furnace Realm also know this dharma method.

Many times, the sects in the Tao Furnace Realm use this dharma method to enter other worlds, paving the way for expansion and the propagation of their teachings.

Being one of the best in this area, it is natural to worry about being invaded by outsiders, especially because, as far as the Tao Furnace Realm knows and has encountered, there are several potent forces.

Excluding the support from the progenitors of the Upper Realm, they can even compete with the Tao Furnace Realm — this is already quite remarkable, given that the teachings of the Tao Furnace Realm were directly passed down from the Upper Realm.

In short, when Wangshu mentioned this matter, her words were as precious as gold.

Yu Lei and Shen Tu, who were constantly on alert here, immediately agreed:

"Indeed."

"Wangshu is the one with clear vision after all."

Jianmu also laughed at this time and said, "The Spirit of Heaven and Earth specially bestowed Li Ye upon us, indicating it already understands many of the ways of creation.

Our efforts have indeed borne fruit.

What a joyous occasion, truly joyous!"

The deities had spoken, and the matter was considered settled.

Spring Sun Taoist, however, seemed somewhat helpless and sighed, "The Sect Leader has long been building momentum for Li Ye. With all of you saying so, he truly becomes a so-called prodigy rather than mere talent!"

To this,

The deities pretended not to hear.

After all, it was just a few grumbles.

At this moment, they were all focused on Li Ye's main body and the Ink and Water Jianmu in the distant sea.

As Li Ye performed the "Revive the Dead" divine technique,

both were undergoing drastic changes.

The first was Ruo Wood.

It had already begun to emanate some fragments of the "Underworld," and those fragments were orderly arranging and piecing together, replicating everything in the present world like a jigsaw puzzle.

In truth, this is somewhat reversed.

According to reason, the technique of reviving the dead should first involve the cultivator creating a personal "Underworld" as a transit station, then bringing the soul to this station, allowing it to adapt before returning to the Yang World.

Subsequently, this transitional Underworld would become an independent space for the cultivator, where they could choose to keep the soul whenever they didn't want it to leave.

Embarking on a second journey in the Yang World.

But Li Ye now... had already sent people to the Yang World, and those people appeared perfectly natural, without the instability usually associated with traversing life and death.

Then he began constructing his Underworld.

And that Underworld had distinct ripples belonging to ink, which at a glance could be mistaken for a landscape painting created by a renowned artist.

This is indeed somewhat strange.

"So, it's that divine technique."

"Life Breath Spirit Transformation Scroll."

Spring Sun Taoist pondered for a moment, then promptly sent a message to the head of Bitter Journey Academy, inviting her here for a discussion.

Then.

Soon after.

Countless characters soared into the air beside him.

Forming a large character "gate," from which emerged a lady dressed in a ru-pao.

None other than the head of the academy, equivalent to a Divinity Transformation cultivation.

"..."

"You weren't waiting for this, were you?"

Spring Sun frowned and said, "You act just like a child eagerly watching a play; why did you come at the slight call?"

The head of the academy smiled gently.

First, she saluted Wangshu, who wasn't even looking at her: "Long time no see, Sister Wangshu, your grace is as before."

Wangshu didn't move her eyes at all.

Just nodded: "Mm."

The situation at Bitter Journey Academy was somewhat unique; they had no concept of "deity," or rather considered deities to be humans canonized.

So, the deities from various sects feel quite subtle about them; quite a few deities think there's nothing to say to them, but Wangshu, even though she doesn't have this thought, still lacks interest in chatting.

With this free time, she'd rather watch how her little brother is doing...

"By the way."

Wangshu suddenly spoke seriously, "Do not call me sister; I already have a younger brother. If you say so, aren't you taking advantage of him?"

This sudden remark nearly stunned the head of the academy.

Spring Sun Taoist's lips twitched.

The watching deities in the sky subconsciously laughed.

The head of the academy looked at Wangshu, then into the distance, feeling both amused and helpless.

Taking advantage?

After all, I am the head of Bitter Journey Academy.

Even though there are several semi-saints above me who never appear, it's impossible for me to take advantage of a junior, right? Or rather, perhaps it is he who is taking advantage of me first!

Yet, as she thought this, the head of the academy perceptively noticed that Wangshu's cold divinity had noticeably diminished.

Therefore, with a daredevilish thought, she chuckled lightly: "Alright, sister, no problem, sister, all as you say, Sister Wangshu!"

"..."

Spring Sun slowly stepped back a few steps.

In case this person gets splattered with blood when hit by a meteor.

But unexpectedly, Wangshu just glanced at the head of the academy coldly and disappeared right away.

Not doing anything to her at all.

So the head of the academy's mood became exceptionally light: "It seems that even gods, when entangled, become restrained."

Such words were indeed somewhat perilous.

Spring Sun Taoist glanced at her, squinting: "Even though one's age is increasing, the thirst for knowledge never seems to lessen.

Maybe you should take a look at the current situation.

To see if it resembles the rebirth method passed down in your academy."

Upon hearing this,

The head of the academy seriously observed the distant scene and sensed the state of the Ink and Water Jianmu shared by Spring Sun.

She confidently stated, "Yes, this is indeed our academy's rebirth method, using ink to paint portals, connecting life and death.

It appears that the Painting Path ancestor was indeed sincere to the True Man of the Four Seasons Sect, for he even shared this dharma method with him."

With her saying so, Spring Sun finally confirmed.

It turns out that Li Ye had encountered the prequel technique of Bitter Journey Academy's rebirth method during his Qi Refining stage.

No wonder he can directly send souls to the Yang World without placing them in a 'transit station'.

However, does this mean the 'ink' Li Ye encountered is the medium linking the two realms?

She suddenly looked at the head of the academy.

"You anticipated this long ago, didn't you?"

"Had Li Ye not learned this dharma method, you wouldn't have favored him initially, or rather, he learned this dharma method even better than your academy's cultivators do.

Am I correct?"

The head of the academy just smiled easily: "That's why I said inviting him to the academy as a teacher wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea, but indeed a plan.

Now, he has not only learned your sect's rebirth law, but he has also practiced my academy's Ink Replication of Life Method. Deepening our cooperation would indeed be a delightful matter.

I said that when this child returns from Dusuo Mountain, he would surely make a trip to Book Mountain and Sea of Learning, and now it has come true."

Spring Sun displayed a contemplative expression.

Indeed, this is truly a pleasant affair. As the only Confucian force in this world, Bitter Journey Academy has thrived despite the Taoist Sect's encirclement, not just due to the tacit approval of the Upper Realm progenitors but also because of its real capabilities.

Collaborating with them is indeed beneficial without any harm.

However, it ultimately depends on how Li Ye decides; the head of the academy is overly calculating, and it turns out that the earlier promise of Book Mountain and Sea of Learning originated from this.

Having learned their dharma method means having some ties with the academy, so entering Book Mountain and Sea of Learning naturally becomes a reasonable and compliant matter.

Thinking of this gives her a bit of a headache.

Celestial Vein Sword Mountain had been watching intently, and now there's Bitter Journey Academy too.

Unfortunately... Too bad I am not this child's mentor, otherwise, I'd really be both troubled and gratified.

She decided to wait to ask Li Ye in detail after this concluded.

Anyhow.

It would soon be over.
