Chapter 287: Life Force, Rebirth Ability

As the young girl addressed her master, the towering giant tree standing on the black earth vanished.

Chen Ansheng could also sense a vigorous life aura establishing an inseparable connection with his celestial soul.

“Mm, very good.”

Chen Ansheng nodded slightly.

“You were once quite disdainful towards me; why have you so quickly acknowledged me as your master?”

The purple-clothed young girl was taken aback, searching through her memories, but the recollection of the earlier compatibility assessment had inexplicably vanished.

She vaguely recalled something that had made her incredibly excited appear.

“Reporting to my master, I’m not sure of the reason. Perhaps it’s because your celestial soul happens to be in harmony with mine, allowing for a rapid fusion.”

The purple-clothed young girl would not lie to Chen Ansheng now, and he understood this.

Therefore, he did not press further.

“Now that you are with me, tell me what specific usefulness you have.”

Chen Ansheng inquired.

The purple-clothed young girl nodded and said, “Master, I am the spirit of the life tree; you may call me Ling’er from now on. Of course, if you prefer another name, I will also accept that without any reservations. As for my function, you have already experienced it when you fought my puppet; I can provide you with powerful vitality and healing abilities.”

“Mm, how strong exactly? Elaborate,” Chen Ansheng nodded.

“Please watch, Master.” Ling’er waved her hand, and a strand of purple aura enveloped one of Chen Ansheng’s fingers. “This is the life force; you might as well try severing this finger.”

“Severing?”

Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow.

How painful would that be!

However, since Ling’er was now his servant, she wouldn’t dare to joke with him lightly, much less harm him.

Then let’s give it a try!

Whoosh!

Chen Ansheng condensed a strand of sword intent and struck the finger wrapped in purple aura.

The finger was severed by the sharp sword intent, and the purple aura quickly entered through the wound, transforming into life force, causing a new finger to grow in the blink of an eye.

“Wow, it repairs that quickly!”

Chen Ansheng was astonished; he didn’t even feel a hint of pain before the new finger grew back.

Then Chen Ansheng looked at Ling’er and asked, “If I were to be chopped into pieces by someone, would you be able to heal me instantly?”

Chen Ansheng recalled the scene where those purple demons were quickly revived after he killed them.

Without hesitation, Ling’er replied, “That depends on the realm you are in. The higher the realm, the more difficult it will be for me to heal you.”

Chen Ansheng said, “I am currently at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. How many of my injuries can you heal instantly?”

Ling’er pondered for a moment and said, “As you mentioned, as long as your celestial soul is not extinguished, I can heal any injury within ten breaths. Once you advance to the Immortal King realm, my ability will weaken somewhat, and I can only heal up to eighty percent of injuries on a basic level.”

Chen Ansheng was overjoyed.

That means, below the Immortal King realm, he was like a cockroach that couldn’t be killed; as long as he preserved his celestial soul, Ling’er could heal him infinitely.

As for after reaching the Immortal King realm, Chen Ansheng didn’t fully understand, so he asked, “What do you mean by eighty percent of basic injuries?”

Ling’er immediately explained, “Reporting to my master, you can understand it as me being able to reduce your damage by eighty percent. For example, if you reach the first grade of the Immortal King realm and face a fellow Immortal King of the same realm, the most they could do is inflict twenty percent of temporarily incurable damage due to my continuous infusion of life force into you.”

Impressive!

Chen Ansheng nearly laughed out loud.

Reducing damage by eighty percent is incredible!

As a cultivator who practices both laws and martial arts, he is already stronger than fellow cultivators of the same realm. Now, with an eighty percent damage immunity, even when he reaches the Immortal King realm, he would still crush opponents of the same level!

“Very well, very well! As expected of the life tree; having you is a great bargain for me!”

Chen Ansheng chuckled.

“Master, Ling’er cannot use life force endlessly; you must provide nourishment,” Ling’er said.

“Oh? Nourishment is also needed?” Chen Ansheng put away his smile.

“Yes, Master. Have you never seen a cow that doesn’t eat grass but still works?” Ling’er laughed lightly.

Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes; it did sound reasonable. “So what kind of nourishment do you need?”

Ling’er replied, “Do you remember when I sent my puppet out to kill? What I need is their life source.”

Chen Ansheng understood all too well.

The nourishment she needed was human lives!

“That’s not difficult.”

Chen Ansheng replied nonchalantly.

“But Master, didn’t you hate Ling’er for killing before?” Ling’er asked timidly.

“That’s different,” Chen Ansheng shook his head and said. “Humans to you are like flowers and grass; it doesn’t matter who you kill. But for me, I only kill those who deserve it and will not harm the innocent. Do you understand?”

“Um… I understand,” Ling’er nodded.

Then, Chen Ansheng took the injured Black Dragon and his companions and left the Valley of Burial Spirits.

The purple aura that had not dissipated for millions of years in this forbidden zone also dispersed, returning the desolate land to its former state.

After staying in the Mysterious Realm for a few days, Chen Ansheng instructed those who were about to ascend to prepare and then returned to Hidden Island.

A few days later.

Over two thousand cultivators ascended from the Mysterious Realm.

Chen Ansheng handed over these cultivators to Long Shaoyan for unified management.

As for Li Huaizhen?

Chen Ansheng had other arrangements.

In a cave dwelling, Chen Ansheng summoned Li Huaizhen.

“Greetings, Master!”

Li Huaizhen, dressed in black battle armor, exuded a powerful aura.

“Mm, rise.”

Chen Ansheng nodded slightly.

“I have something for you to do this time.”

“Please give your orders, Master.”

Li Huaizhen replied respectfully.

Chen Ansheng stood up, walked to Li Huaizhen, and patted his shoulder: “You are exceptionally gifted and making rapid progress, which brings me great satisfaction. However, you cannot always rely on cultivation and comprehension; you need to venture out for experiences. Only those who have gone through life-and-death battles can become true strong ones!”

Li Huaizhen contemplated, deeply resonating with his master’s words.

Even though he had reached the late-stage of the Profound Immortal realm, he felt unclear about his own strength.

It turned out this was due to his lack of practical combat experience.

No wonder recently, he felt restless, and even his cultivation speed had slowed greatly.

“How about this? Tomorrow you will leave Hidden Island and hurry to the Northern Wilderness, where you will train along the way and also look into a person for me,” Chen Ansheng instructed.

“Who should I inquire about? Please specify, Master,” Li Huaizhen asked.

“In the Northern Wilderness, there is a peak Immortal King known as ‘Feng Tian.’ As long as you reach there smoothly, I believe it will not be difficult to find out about him. Then, you need to find a way to convey a message to that Immortal King, saying that the peak Immortal King known as the Snow-Haired Elder in the Southern Region, is going to fuse the imperial realm alien immortal and will come to kill him when he succeeds, to avenge the taking of his wife and children. He must make it here to eliminate the enemy; otherwise, it will be too late for regrets!”

That Snow-Haired Elder was a peak Immortal King, and Chen Ansheng knew that even if he progressed quickly, he wouldn’t reach that level in a short time and couldn’t contend against him.

Thus, he could only borrow a knife to kill and eliminate that old bastard.

“Understood, sir!”

“Go ahead, and let Elder Ji send you out tomorrow. If you need any items or treasures, feel free to take them.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Li Huaizhen accepted his orders and left, filled with anticipation for the journey ahead.

Whether he would achieve great success or meet his end mid-journey would depend on his own fortune.
