Chapter 1687: Chapter 1687: Comprehension and the Soul-Returning Secret Technique

Whistling!

The cold wind near the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool was biting.

Ye Feng discovered that the incoming light particles contained strands of pure soul, continuously infusing into Dong Huangxiao’s brow’s sea of consciousness to aid her in restoring her divine soul.

This process was swift.

However, Dong Huangxiao’s soul was strong; even at the current pace, it would take a long time of accumulation for her soul to become completely whole.

Boom!

Thunder suddenly appeared nearby.

Bang!

Immediately after, a terrifying lightning bolt struck Dong Huangxiao by the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool, attempting to hinder her soul’s restoration and prevent her rebirth.

"Get lost!"

The Three-legged Golden Toad swung the Purple Bamboo Stick fiercely, easily shattering the lightning, turning it into strands of cool Thunder Origin, nourishing Dong Huangxiao’s soul.

Lightning continued to strike from the sky.

But they were all exploded by the Three-legged Golden Toad, becoming Thunder Origin that could not harm Dong Huangxiao.

"It seems that the Three-legged Golden Toad has a deep affection for Dong Huangxiao, treating her like its own daughter. Unfortunately, Dong Huangxiao is dead. I wonder if the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool can fully bring her back to life."

Ye Feng mused, watching from the side.

After activating the Heavenly Eye.

He saw countless ancient law markings on the surface of the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool. Just looking at them for a moment caused him to feel an intense heat all over.

"Can I imitate a Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool?"

Ye Feng contemplated this idea.

This was a Cosmic-level Treasure, equivalent to the Dao Stele in Divine Sword City. Taking it was nearly impossible, but he could imitate one.

If successful, the benefits would be numerous.

Firstly, it could be used to resurrect those who have been dead for a long time. Secondly, the cold fluid can nourish souls. Additionally, there must be other functions waiting to be developed.

These capabilities made Ye Feng greedy.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, continuously drawing the markings from the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool’s surface in the void, discovering that each marking would trigger the Heaven and Earth Laws, making it highly challenging to successfully portray them.

But, Ye Feng was least afraid of difficulties.

One day, two days...

Until half a month later, as August drew to a close, Ye Feng finally succeeded in depicting the first complete diagram, comprised of over three hundred markings.

"Done."

Ye Feng exhaled deeply. When he looked up at the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool, he found similar diagrams numbering in the tens of thousands, leaving him speechless.

"Damn, there are so many more?"

To understand them all would take five hundred years?

Even with the Thousandfold Time Acceleration, it would take continual comprehension until next year, which was far too long for Ye Feng, who had only practiced for ten years.

"You... you actually succeeded!" came the voice of the astonished Three-legged Golden Toad nearby.

Ye Feng looked over skeptically.

Seeing Ye Feng’s bewildered expression, the Three-legged Golden Toad said, "This is the Cosmic-level Treasure Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool. Even in the universe, it is a top-tier treasure, and you managed to comprehend one diagram in just half a month!"

"Is that strange?" Ye Feng blinked.

"Of course it is! This is a Cosmic-level Treasure, yet you could comprehend one ten-thousandth of its diagram in half a month. Meaning, it would take less than five hundred years for you to completely understand the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool’s laws—truly terrifying!"

The Three-legged Golden Toad spoke with expressive gestures.

"Ha, haha!"

Ye Feng could only chuckle awkwardly. He hadn’t used the Time Acceleration Formation previously; otherwise, with Thousandfold Time Acceleration, he could understand the first diagram of the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool in about fifteen minutes.

In that case, wouldn’t the Three-legged Golden Toad be scared to death?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt amused.

"Senior, I’ll continue comprehending."

He closed his eyes and continued the imitation.

The Three-legged Golden Toad glanced at Ye Feng, noticing his speed in sketching the array patterns increased significantly, stunned by Ye Feng’s remarkable insight.

In early September.

Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes, sensing strange law fluctuations emitting from around him, attracting the attention of the Three-legged Golden Toad.

"Reanimate!"

Ye Feng whispered, his hands swiftly forming seals, surrounding him, large amounts of energy surged, coalescing at his fingertips into a special luminous formation.

"Succeeded."

Ye Feng laughed.

This was his self-created Soul-Returning Secret Technique. Although its effects were far from the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool, as long as the deceased cultivators hadn’t been dead for long and their cultivation level wasn’t too high, even if their soul had dispersed, they could be salvaged.

Boom!

But just then, terrifying fluctuations appeared around Ye Feng, making him feel like he was being targeted by some great terror, causing his body to rupture involuntarily.

"Cosmic Backlash!"

Ye Feng whispered.

The Soul-Returning Secret Technique he created violated reincarnation. If used to resurrect other beings, the practitioner, Ye Feng himself, would suffer backlash from the Cosmic Laws.

The stronger the resurrected individual, the more severe the backlash.

"Strange, why wasn’t I backlashed by the universe when I resurrected a cultivator from the Immortal Realm?"

Ye Feng muttered.

"Because you consumed your own life force to resurrect those people, and they died very recently—almost at the instant of death—they were revived by you, hence avoiding Cosmic Backlash."

The Three-legged Golden Toad explained, with bright eyes.

"Does the senior understand this?" Ye Feng asked.

"I have some knowledge." The Three-legged Golden Toad nodded, "If those people had died for more than a day back then, and you resurrected them, even at the cost of your own life force, you would still suffer a certain degree of backlash."

"Hmm, yes." Ye Feng nodded.

"And now, your newly created resurrection secret technique does not require consuming your own life force; therefore, if used to save someone, it will certainly incur Cosmic Backlash."

The Three-legged Golden Toad added.

"Could it be fatal?" Ye Feng felt a bit worried.

The Three-legged Golden Toad shook its head, saying, "You already possess an Undying Body, even if you suffer Cosmic Backlash, you won’t die, so there’s nothing to fear."

"That’s true." Ye Feng scratched his head.

"Ye Feng, I can guard things here just fine. If you wish to continue comprehending the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool, you can stay; if you have other matters, you can head back!"

The Three-legged Golden Toad said.

"Hmm, I’ll return to the sect first."

Ye Feng said.

He had already created the Soul-Returning Secret Technique; although not complete, it could at least handle the current situation. In the future, once he gathers all the Fragments of the Heart of Wisdom, increasing his comprehension tenfold or more, he can return to comprehend it without hurry.

At that point, in just half a month, he would be able to comprehend all the laws of the Spirit-Reviving Cold Pool.

"Off you go!"

The Three-legged Golden Toad waved its hand.

Rip!

Ye Feng smashed through the void, reappearing at the back mountain of the Misty Sect, standing in the Old Sect Leader’s cemetery, gently stroking the ancient tombstone.

"Brother, since I have learned the Soul-Returning Secret Technique, let me try to see if I can resurrect you first!"

Ye Feng whispered.

The Old Sect Leader was only at the Qi Refining Realm, with very low cultivation, having been dead for ten years, resurrecting him should be easy.

"Soul, come!"

As Ye Feng formed seals with his hands, a large number of colored whirlwinds appeared, enveloping the Old Sect Leader’s grave, but no matter how Ye Feng performed the spell, it had no effect.

"Unable to resurrect? How can it be?"

Ye Feng was greatly shocked.
