Fang Ling’s Resurrection Story
Fang Ling was actually a secret disciple of Shan Puao's greatest friend, Wan Fei.
Both Shan Puao and Wan Fei were rank seven cultivators, they were great elders and as an elder in his first life, Fang Xian knew of them.
It was common knowledge back then that Wan Fei took in secret disciples and released them to the sect if they possessed adequate talent.
Fang Xian had masqueraded as Fang Ling, to think that his lie would actually be true, his brother that he killed with his own hands was somehow still alive!
Some would say that this was spectacular fortune, however, it was not.
Fortune was when knowledge and preparation met opportunity, Fang Xian's knowledge and preparation met a great opportunity, thus resulting in this outcome!
Fang Xian did not have an inheritance, instead his plan was to lead Shan Puao into a cave and kill him with Chaotic Dragon Formless Blade's first form, Formless Dragon.
"Nephew Fang Ling, this is where the inheritance is located?" Shan Puao asked after entering the abandoned stone cave.
Fang Xian did not answer.
"Nephew Fang Ling, are you there?" Shan Puao was now somewhat concerned.
"Yes, I am sorry, I was just thinking of something. Please look ahead, you have to look for a while before the inheritance appears." Fang Xian replied.
"Oh, I see." Shan Puao followed his instructions and stared at the empty space, waiting for an inheritance that would never come.
At that moment, he was beheaded by a formless blade infused with chaos!
Fang Xian entered his soul land and only took two soul beasts, the rank one trading network soul beast and the rank four instant purification soul beast!
This soul beast was invented by Shan Puao, in Fang Xian's first life, Shan Puao managed to reach rank four immortal level, it was because of the fame he gathered through this soul beast.
This soul beast allowed one to use soul beasts at higher rank than the rank they were currently at.
Fang Xian had no use for this, instead he was going to sell it in the trading network.
He activated the trading network soul beast, his conscience suddenly was sent to a secluded realm, this was the trading network.
The trading network was a realm created by an unknown group of rank seven immortals during the Primordial Era.
They used it amongst themselves to trade immortal soul beasts, refinement materials and recipes and even information for other resources or soul stones.
Eventually, as the leader of the group neared the end of his lifespan, he created an inheritance with the trading network immortal soul beast inside of it, as well as twenty billion mortal rank one trading network soul beasts.
It was an extremely common soul beast, but the immortal version was one of a kind, whoever possessed it was known as the Trading Emperor.
The current Trading Emperor was a member of True Heaven Sect, Fang Xian's only true ally in his first life, Zhang Liuwei, the strongest cultivator alive.
'Zhang Liuwei… I shall see you soon enough, my friend.' Fang Xian smiled in his mind.
Little did he know, his words would be scarily accurate.
…
'Oh? What a surprising development!'
As soon as he entered the trading network, he saw him!
Zhang Liuwei stood there, dressed in a black and white tribal robe, his posture upright.
He sensed Fang Xian's gaze and met his eyes, smiling: "How may I help you?"
Fang Xian relaxed, smiled and organised his thoughts before saying:
"You can help me by giving me the trading immortal soul beast. If you do this, I will help you in obtaining Eternal Demon Overlord's supreme inheritance, I possess the key to inheriting it."
…
In Wan Fei's garden, Fang Ling trained endlessly.
Due to Wan Fei's nurturing, he had already reached rank two low-level!
He trained so relentlessly for one reason and one reason only.
'I need to get stronger so that I can travel the world and find my brother, until I am reunited with him, I will not relent!' He strengthened his resolve and continued to swing his sword at the unbreakable wood, cultivating his sword technique.
Fang Ling had lost his memories due to Fang Xian stabbing him in the head, he still believed that him and his brother were close and he desperately wanted to find him.
How was he still alive after being stabbed in the head?
…
Long after Fang Xian had departed from the forest and while he was still residing in Zhi Village, Wan Fei walked through the forest before he came upon two corpses.
One of a rank two cultivator and one of mortal child, both had been brutally murdered and not too far apart for that matter.
Wan Fei was shocked but he was a rare lifespan path cultivator, he had some methods of resurrection.
He was originally going to resurrect the cultivator but he suddenly sensed a heavenly aura emitting from the child's body, it was as if heaven wanted him to choose him instead.
And so, he used a lifespan path soul technique to resurrect Fang Ling, resulting in the current situation.
This soul technique was called Dead to Alive with new lifespan.
To be honest, at the mortal level, resurrection was extremely common. It was only immortals who wouldn't be resurrected with ease, this was because of heaven's enmity towards them and heaven's adoration towards mortals.
In a way, mortals upheld the law of mortality, which immortals defied it, especially rank eight immortals who were said to possess a lifespan of up to one hundred thousand years!
In general, all mortals died at the age of around a hundred. Rank one immortals extended it to one hundred and fifty, rank two was two hundred, rank three was two hundred and fifty, rank four broke the sequence and went straight to one thousand, rank five was ten thousand, rank six was twenty thousand, rank seven was fifty thousand and rank eight was one hundred thousand.
Immortal lifespan path methods could change this set amount, albeit rarely.
The soul technique allowed Fang Ling to live again, with a lifespan of a hundred years, this was somewhat of an increase to his previous lifespan since he had already lived for thirteen years and previously only had eight seven years left, now he had one hundred.
