333: Chapter 333 True Spirit

"Ah! It's you! So you've been hiding in the Ancient Desolate Continent all this time!" Immortal Emperor Dongfang's shocked voice came from within the pitch-black passage.

"However, you don't dare to restore your strength, so you can't stop me either! Explode for me!"

"Boom!" Under his roar, the beam of light suddenly exploded.

The green willow branch trembled, and under the violent impact of the explosion, it deviated from its course.

Just at this moment, a crystalline jade hand emerged from the tip of the willow branch and struck towards the black passage.

"You..." Only this word could be heard from within the passage before it suddenly collapsed and vanished without a trace, leaving only a figure standing there in confusion.

"Swish!" Lin Bei's figure moved, appearing beside the figure with a terribly gloomy expression.

Liu Wei, Luo Qingcheng, and the others also appeared shortly after where the beam of light had vanished, looking at him with worry, "Brother Lin, what should we do?"

Lin Bei looked at Dongfang Meng, who had not yet recovered his senses, and took a deep breath, "It's okay. Immortal Emperor Dongfang took Yue'er away to trade for the longevity flower; he won't do anything to her..."

"Besides, his son is still in our hands!"

At this moment, Shi Yunmeng also slowly revealed her form, "Sorry..."

She was entwined with a green willow branch, "Sister Liu has accommodated too many True Spirits, so her strength cannot be fully unleashed, otherwise..."

"True Spirit?" Lin Bei was stunned, "What is that?"

"When the Dao of Life and Death reaches a certain Realm, one can extract the True Spirit after a Cultivator dies!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion also approached, looking at Shi Yunmeng and the willow branch on her with a complex expression as he explained.

Shi Yunmeng's gaze remained on Lin Bei, "Sister Liu wants you to take out five thousand units of divine source liquid!"

"Five... five thousand units of divine source liquid?" Jiang Yunyi and the Dragon Clan brothers heard this sentence as soon as they approached and were left dumbfounded.

"Is... is this something a normal person can say?" Long Yan said, looking speechless.

"Maybe this Fairy misspoke? Perhaps it's fifty units?" Jiang Yunyi analyzed logically.

"If it were fifty units, we might be able to scrape it together..." Long Bing nodded in agreement.

Lin Bei looked at the three of them, who were clearly inexperienced, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He didn't ask Shi Yunmeng for the reason and waved his hand; a pool of crystalline liquid appeared before everyone.

Misty Qi immediately permeated the area, and the exhaustion of the Cultivators after the great battle was swept away.

Even the charred earth below was instantly nourished, glowing with new vitality.

"Gulp..." Long Yan and the others struggled to swallow their saliva, staring blankly at the small pool.

Great Emperors can refine divine source liquid, but it is measured in drops!

With a pool this size, I'm afraid that even a Great Emperor refining it sleeplessly for tens of millions of years wouldn't necessarily have this much...

"There are six thousand units here, is that enough?" Lin Bei looked at the green willow branch.

The willow branch didn't make a sound; it simply flew from around Shi Yunmeng and lashed fiercely at the small pool!

"Bang!" Immediately, countless divine source liquid splashed out, turning into millions of drops suspended in the sky.

Lin Bei scanned with his spiritual sense and found that exactly one thousand units of divine source liquid remained in the small pool.

"Damn! Are all big shots so obsessed with Face? Not using even one drop more?" He was speechless in his heart and continued to watch the other party's actions.

The willow branch stood upright in front of the divine source liquid drops, and new buds emerged from the willow leaves, then grew rapidly.

In a moment, the willow branch seemed to turn into a real willow tree, and spots of white light began to appear among the branches and leaves.

"Are these True Spirits?" Lin Bei stared at these white lights, vaguely able to feel the aura of Cultivators from them.

"That's right!" Shi Yunmeng nodded, "Extracting the True Spirit of the deceased is not difficult; anyone with a certain attainment in the Dao of Life and Death can do it!"

"However, to resurrect the deceased, the difficulty increases a thousandfold; there are not many people in the entire Immortal Realm who can do it!"

Speaking of which, she looked at Lin Bei with a charming smile, "Consider yourself lucky. If Sister Liu wasn't here, I'd like to see how you would explain this to the millions of Cultivators from the two Realms!"

Lin Bei rolled his eyes, "You advocated connecting the two Realms and starting the war; I'm afraid you thought of this step long ago, right?"

Shi Yunmeng covered her mouth and chuckled, "How is it? Do you think having me as your Empress is a particularly good deal?"

Lin Bei curled his lips helplessly. With such a smart woman by his side, his own sense of presence seemed to be reduced quite a bit...

At this time, the white light spots on the willow tree were already dense.

Cultivators with insufficient cultivation might have difficulty seeing clearly, but the Great Emperor experts present could scan with their spiritual sense and discover that the number of white light spots was exactly the same as the number of divine source liquid drops in front.

"Go!" The willow tree swayed slightly, finally uttering two words for the first time.

All the white light spots shook and flew towards the divine source liquid.

After a few breaths, all the light spots merged with the divine source liquid one by one.

"Huh? There's no reaction?" Lin Bei frowned and looked at Shi Yunmeng.

"How can it be that simple... Resurrection is a Heaven-Defying act, you know!" Shi Yunmeng gave him a roll of her eyes.

"Live!" At this moment, the willow tree made a sound for the second time.

With this soft shout, the entire willow tree seemed to ignite, emitting green flames.

Soon, the willow tree disappeared, and in its place was a ball of green energy.

The moment the green energy appeared, exclamations erupted from all around.

The divine source liquid just now only caused some vitality to appear on the earth below.

At this moment, in the aura of the green energy, within a radius of a thousand miles, patches of green surged out from the ground.

Before long, a lush forest had formed, and the tall trees within were in no way inferior to those that could only grow after hundreds or thousands of years.

"Damn!" Kunkun appeared beside Lin Bei and Shi Yunmeng, flapping his wings, "Burning oneself to resurrect others? This... this is too great, right?"

"Won't there be any problems?" Lin Bei had some worry in his eyes.

If the willow tree sacrificed too much, he would rather not resurrect those millions of Cultivators.

When the Great Destruction comes, an absolute powerhouse is definitely more useful than millions of ordinary Cultivators!

"Don't worry!" Shi Yunmeng shook her head, "This willow tree is just an illusion of one of Sister Liu's branches; it won't have any effect!"

After speaking, she raised her jade hand, and the ball of green energy drifted towards the millions of divine source liquid drops.

The white light spots contained in the divine source liquid felt the aura of energy and trembled, as if they had regained their vitality.

Gradually, every drop of divine source liquid began to squirm, turning into the appearance of Cultivators.

By this time, many Cultivators around had guessed what was happening.

"Look... look at that Cultivator, he looks like my brother!"

"Clan Chief! That one looks exactly like our Clan Chief! He died before in the attack of the Ancient Desolate Alliance!"

"Could it be... could it be that this is resurrecting them!"

...

Suddenly, the gazes of many Cultivators became eager.
