My gorgeous wife Chapter 2223 - 2191: Nether River Delivers Souls

Resurrection.

It is a very bitter topic.

Because, for the one performing the resurrection, the person needing revival is often someone extremely important.

Only someone vitally important is worth the trouble of scouring the earth for precious materials and everything necessary for resurrection.

Fortunately, Li Chen has gathered everything needed for the resurrection.

For Li Chen, the two centuries of closed-door cultivation were not mere seclusion. Before retreating, he had scoured countless materials in the Borderland Realm, leaving traces of his search for anything related to resurrection.

Li Chen even sought out many old Heavenly Lords and resurrection researchers in the Borderland Realm for meticulous inquiries.

In the end, Li Chen finally obtained the answer he desired.

To resurrect his departed, not only does he need the Nine-leaf Resurrection Flower, but also the Reincarnation Law and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, along with numerous auxiliary materials!

Just these alone are enough to take a lifetime for some to collect.

Moreover, among these items is a Supreme Treasure, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

Most crucially, to achieve perfect resurrection, the executor must possess the Ninth Order Soul Realm!

While the earlier requirements were daunting enough for a strong individual, this final one could lead to despair.

How many people regard the Ninth Order Soul Realm as an unattainable lifetime goal?

If someone else were invited, who could ensure the Ninth Order Expert wouldn’t covet these treasures after seeing them?

Li Chen isn’t afraid of treasure being snatched because he’s confident that even a Ninth Order can’t take anything from him.

Even back then, when he was just Eighth Rank, he had killed in the True Realm.

However, Li Chen was still afraid.

Afraid of resurrection failure.

The Nine-leaf Resurrection Flower was the result of countless years for the Three Lives Everything Armor to nurture two blooms.

The last bloom was painstakingly found by Li Chen, who exchanged numerous treasures for it.

Though other auxiliary materials were easier to discuss, if the resurrection failed, who knows how many years it would take to find another Nine-leaf Resurrection Flower?

Thus, Li Chen decided to do it himself!

To attain the Ninth Order, Li Chen underwent the longest closed-door cultivation since he began cultivating.

This seclusion lasted exactly two hundred years.

Finally, today, he broke through to the Ninth Order.

Resurrection can finally begin!

"Soul, return!!"

With this, the sky suddenly scattered snow upon the wind.

Just a moment ago, it was clear weather with not a cloud in the sky, yet suddenly, the cold snow descended, arriving so abruptly.

Behind Li Chen, a faint sigh suddenly sounded.

"Who?!"

Li Chen’s eyes abruptly widened, an expression of aggression faintly appearing on his face.

For this day, he had waited too long, and no matter who dared to disrupt his resurrection, it would only end in death!

"Boy, you’re too deep in," murmured the sighing voice, echoing softly.

Li Chen froze, then saw an old man standing behind him.

Moreover, he had seen this old man before.

"Senior Nether River?"

"It is I," Nether River nodded slightly and softly said, "Your soul summoning and resurrection are equivalent to forcibly fishing souls from my Nether River. How can I not awaken?"

"I’m sorry, Senior Nether River," Li Chen shook his head, "but regardless, today’s resurrection must continue!"

"I didn’t come here to stop you," Nether River whispered, "I’m here to deliver the souls to you."

With that, Nether River reached out gently, and three figures suddenly appeared beside Li Chen.

"Are you summoning their souls?" Nether River smiled, "Your resurrection ritual and preparations comply with the laws, so it’s feasible. Moreover, I must tell you, your luck is quite good."

Seeing the three soul shadows brought by Nether River, Li Chen couldn’t help but show excitement on his face, but upon hearing Nether River’s words, he was slightly stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"Because of my return," Nether River pointed to himself, "Henceforth, the Heaven Realm will once again have reincarnation. But it seems my absence was too long, hence too many Yin Souls have gathered between Heaven and Earth, and though some have dissipated, many remain within my main body. Even after two hundred years, the gathered Yin Souls haven’t fully reincarnated."

"I say your luck is good because they are still queued in the Nether River and haven’t been sent for reincarnation. If they had already reincarnated, what could you possibly resurrect?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen pressed his lips together.

In his eyes, there was pain and remorse, along with relief.

The pain was that they, as Yin Souls, had wandered for over two hundred years, while he was unable to resurrect them.

The relief was that they hadn’t dissipated or reincarnated, so his resurrection ritual succeeded.

"Well, that’s enough small talk for now. I still have other matters to attend to," said the elderly Nether River, waving his hand, "With your current cultivation, feel free to seek me out for a chat if the opportunity arises. My true form is located in the deepest part of the Ancient Battle Realm that you know of. Of course, I’m referring to where my true form lies. The one left in the Heaven Realm was just a branch of the Nether River in Heaven Realm."

"Senior, you’re saying..."

"That’s right, there’s only one Nether River in the Starry Universe, and that is me," the old man glanced at Li Chen meaningfully, waved his hand, and said, "I think we’ll have the chance to meet again. Farewell then."

Saying this, the old man’s figure vanished completely, leaving behind the three bewildered Yin Souls.

These three were Lilith, Cherie, and... Patricia!

Li Chen had once asked Lieu Zhanxiao whether his state required resurrection.

Lieu Zhanxiao had said that he didn’t consider himself dead, so resurrection should be unnecessary for him.

Moreover, Lieu Zhanxiao also told him that being a sword wasn’t too bad, sparing him the many troubles of being human.

Li Chen was thus silent for a long time and finally chose Patricia as the resurrection target for the last Nine-leaf Resurrection Flower he found.

The once Elf Queen of a small world.

Patricia’s whispers before her fall had reached Li Chen’s ears, and it was precisely because he heard them that he was even more haunted by them, even more heartbroken.

"Sorry, Sulin, sorry, everyone. Truly, I’m sorry," Li Chen clenched his fist.

The Nine-leaf Resurrection Flower was limited to three blossoms, and thus the resurrected could only be three, leaving no additional choice for Li Chen.

"I hope in the next life, you won’t encounter me again," Li Chen whispered as he closed his eyes softly.

At the same time, the three souls fell into the three bodies Li Chen had refined in advance.

The three bodies trembled simultaneously as the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk spun wildly, and for a moment, the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

Amid this scent that blanketed the mountainside, the three laying bodies slowly opened their eyes, tinged with bewilderment and confusion.

Li Chen’s eyes abruptly opened as well, and at the corners, tears streamed down.

"I... succeeded!"
