Chapter 877: Back to Life!

Back to Life! . . .

It was Cha Eun Xiao's own body, radiating a vivid crimson light, that held a potent force, compelling him back towards it.

Cha Eun Xiao decided not to venture into the Boundless Space. Instead, he swiftly severed the connection to his soul and allowed the force to draw his soul back into the mass of red light.

The disconnection was brief, and he promptly reestablished it. Cha Eun Xiao regained his faculties almost instantly. Now, he was in full control of both his body and his soul.

The pain he experienced defied description. It was excruciating, something he could scarcely endure. In the initial moments, he felt this searing agony, but soon after, a newfound vigor surged through him.

"I... I am back to life?"

"I didn't die! Not truly! As long as I'm still alive, I don't mind enduring more pain!"

Most astonishing of all was the fact that he had not perished, despite his entire chest being shattered. He pondered the significance of that radiant red light and yearned to comprehend its nature.

After a while, Cha Eun Xiao noticed that his entire body was bathed in a soothing and expansive warmth. This powerful, gentle power emanated from inside his body.

It was none other than the red light.

The red light was actively repairing his body, seemingly originating from within.

"What is this power?"

He fell into contemplation. Then, in a sudden recollection, he remembered an event from the past. He recalled a beautiful woman standing before him, uttering, "I suppose I can offer you this Nine Creating Dan bead. Consider it compensation."

"This dan bead can save you eight times in your lifetime."

Realization washed over him. It was that woman, a figure of such unimaginable power that he couldn't even fathom, the master cultivator who stood as Su Yeyue's master. She had bestowed upon him a Nine Creating Dan bead.

It was none other than Meng Huaiqing.

He could feel the energy repairing his heart. It was an extraordinary power capable of nourishing all things in the world, even though he was grievously wounded. It had the capacity to heal him.

Unbeknownst to Cha Eun Xiao, only his soul had returned to its ordinary state, while his body remained deeply unconscious. Lei Dadi and the others were gathered around him.

"Chongxiao!"

Lei Dadi, upon entering the room, was overwhelmed by shock. Tears welled up in the old man's eyes.

He wasn't the only one moved to tears. The other two elderly gentlemen were also overcome with emotion.

These three seasoned cultivators, upon witnessing the gaping cavity in their disciple's chest, understood the implications. Cha Eun Xiao's chances of surviving such a grievous injury were almost nonexistent. Even if he hadn't died outright, it didn't necessarily mean he would live.

The three old men were devastated.

The three old grandmasters had lived for many years, and they had finally found a disciple they were content with. But now, their prized disciple was gone.

"I'm going to kill Wu Huitian!" Lei Dadi thundered, turning and charging out of the room with the fury of a wild tiger.

"Master!" Yue Changtian desperately held onto Lei Dadi. "Master, please calm down. Chongxiao is still alive!"

"Bullsh*t!" All three of the old men exclaimed simultaneously. "Have you lost your godforsaken mind? You're telling me he can survive with that hole in his chest? Come here, boy, let me stab you in the chest just like that and see if you can make it! If you can survive, then you can try to stop us. I can't let our disciple die in vain. I'm going to kill that son of a b*tch, even if the three of us are expelled from the sect!"

Yue Changtian held Lei Dadi tightly and pleaded, "Master, please... calm down. I don't know what will happen to Chongxiao, but please have a look at him. He is truly alive. He's not breathing, but he still has a pulse. Besides, the Sky Soul Hall is at work. You know what it's capable of. You know it wouldn't work on a dead man. Chongxiao is still alive, at least not completely dead yet."

Yue Changtian felt that Lei Dadi was like a volcano about to erupt at any moment. Once it erupted, everyone would be obliterated. But he couldn't let go of him. He didn't dare to. If he let go, Feng Wuying and Yun Piaoliu would undoubtedly follow him. The three old men were always together.

The situation was that the most beloved disciple of the three old grandmasters had died. The three old men didn't want to live anymore; they wanted to sacrifice themselves to kill Wu Huitian. In fact, not only Wu Huitian, but even Yun Xiran would die with him. Saint Sunlight Sect and Saint Starlight Sect would be stained with blood.

However, the three old grandmasters would also die.

The two great sects would join forces to seek revenge on Cold Moon Palace, and that would spell the end for Cold Moon Palace. If not for that, Yue Changtian would have gone to kill Wu Huitian himself.

"Even if we seek revenge, even if we go to war... shouldn't we at least be prepared for it? We didn't prepare for anything earlier. They acted so boldly because they knew we probably wouldn't retaliate. Moreover, they must have prepared for our counterattack. We are unprepared for this war, and our chances are slim. Master..." Yue Changtian shouted with sorrow and anger, "Most importantly, Chongxiao isn't dead yet."

"Bullsh*t..." Lei Dadi cursed, but he seemed to calm down a bit.

They were unprepared, and that was the truth that struck the three old men. They had indeed been unprepared for this. No one knew that the other two factions would be so audacious, so high-handed. They should have prepared better.

If they started a war, they would be the only unprepared side. Yue Changtian had already informed Wu Huitan and Yun Xiran that Cold Moon Palace would become independent, which marked the beginning of their revenge.

"Cold Moon Palace has been oppressed by the other two factions for tens of thousands of years. I think it's time to find a way out," Lei Dadi's eyes blazed with anger. "It's still too much. They have ruined our future. It's unacceptable. The three of us won't die anytime soon, so we should start planning."

He turned to look at Cha Eun Xiao, and they approached him to check his breath. He wasn't breathing, but when they placed their hands on his wrist, they discovered a faint pulse, pulsating slowly but still there.

"What is this?" Lei Dadi was astonished.

"His entire chest is shattered. He should have died long ago... The Sky Soul Hall is working. That means he can still survive. How can a man with a broken chest live..." Feng Wuying was baffled.

"Look!"

Suddenly, Yun Piaoliu exclaimed. He had been closely observing Cha Eun Xiao. Under their collective gaze, a faint red light began to shine over Cha Eun Xiao's body.

They were all taken aback.

The red light slowly ascended, moving towards his heart.

With eyes wide open, they were all bewildered.

"What is happening here?"
