After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 615 The Tree of Resurrection
Not only Fu Lingchen and his three companions, but also the participants from the other four teams regained consciousness. They came to Pei Yun's side, and when they saw the "door" appear, their eyes lit up with undisguised surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Pei, what's going on?"
"The door has appeared! The door has appeared! Does this mean we've successfully completed the trial of this door?!"
"Fellow Daoist Pei, how did you do that...?"
The participants all looked at Pei Yun, filled with joy but also with a sense of awe for the man before them.
Pei Yun did not answer their questions, but instead said to the vengeful spirits who had regained their senses, "Go, once you enter this gate, you can be reincarnated..."
These vengeful spirits, trapped in the villa by the painter before their deaths and then trapped in the painting after their deaths, gazed deeply at Pei Yun. They bowed gratefully to Pei Yun, their faces filled with relieved smiles, and one by one walked into the "door".
The little girl in the red dress was also holding her mother's hand. She turned her head, smiled sweetly, and waved goodbye to Pei Yun: "Thank you, sister. Goodbye, sister."
"See you again someday." Pei Yun smiled faintly as he watched her step into the "door," and her figure disappeared as soon as she entered.
After the women in the painting all left, the butler and servants also bid farewell to Pei Yun. The butler's son pushed the butler in a wheelchair into the "door." Just before entering, the butler looked at Pei Yun with a kind smile and said, "I still don't know your name?"
"My name is Pei Yun."
"Pei Yun, may we meet again someday."
After everyone had entered the "door," only five teams remained on the scene, and everyone looked at Pei Yun again.
Qian Zheng asked in an incredulous tone, "Fellow Daoist Pei, what exactly is going on? How did you... make the 'door' appear?"
Not only him, but everyone else looked at Pei Yun with disbelief in their eyes.
"...Stick, ostensibly a painter, secretly founded a cult that brainwashed powerful and influential people in the neighborhood. These women were either coaxed or deceived by the painter, leading to their imprisonment in this manor. When they gave birth or grew old and faded, they were sent to the church altar and killed by the cult members as sacrifices. They even ate the sacrifices..." These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
“After you and those women helped me destroy Stick’s soul, the ‘door’ didn’t appear, so I thought of the vision in the Rose Garden…”
At this point, Pei Yun looked at Fu Lingchen and the other three, "I lingered in the room where you died before. The falling ring and the words on the mirror were reminders from the four of you, weren't they?"
Fu Lingchen and the other three nodded. Fu Lingchen said, "We discovered that after we died, we weren't teleported out of the 'door.' Our souls remained in the villa. Moreover, we weren't unconscious when we died; it was just that it was daytime, so you couldn't see our souls. Also... this clue wasn't something we figured out ourselves. It was given to us by the old man in the wheelchair. He kept muttering 'ring,' 'resentment,' 'death,' and 'corpse'..."
Minglu added, "At the time, we didn't know the old man in the wheelchair was the housekeeper. We thought it was a clue from the painter, so the four of us discussed it and decided to tell you this clue..."
“Our souls are not strong enough; even if we try our best, we can only write a few words on the mirror…” Zhou Feng said.
He Changxuan added, "After we die, our conscious time is very short. Almost immediately after reminding you, our minds gradually succumb until we lose them completely..."
"I had a vague idea of this, but when I saw that Fellow Daoist Qian and Fellow Daoist Xu were still conscious, I was completely certain that the participants would still be trapped in the villa after they died, but their minds would not be lost all at once, but would gradually succumb..."
This is why Pei Yun was happy when she saw that Qian Zheng and the other person were still conscious. Because of this, she was able to put herself in a life-or-death situation and gamble with her own death.
"Fellow Daoist Pei, you've mentioned these four reminders to us before, but what exactly do they mean?" Wu Ziwei asked, voicing the doubts in everyone's minds.
"The ring refers to the ring worn by Stick and the members of this cult. It should be a token of their organization. I used this to completely confirm that the painter and the butler had switched identities."
Pei Yun continued, "The resentment should refer to the method of dealing with Stick. Only by first killing oneself and becoming a vengeful spirit can one get close to Stick and destroy his soul with a dagger filled with resentment. As for the corpses, they are obviously the corpses of these innocent people who died tragically..."
"...However, I misjudged one thing. I should have taken the butler to see his son first. The villa door can't be opened after midnight; you need a key to open it, but the key is with the butler's son. We should have found the key before making any moves..."
"So how did you open the villa door?" someone asked.
Pei Yun picked up the key necklace around her neck: "I used the reward I got from the previous 'door' to open it."
By this point, everyone in the four teams was completely convinced that Pei Yun's team had successfully passed the previous "gate".
"Fellow Daoist Pei, you have successfully rescued these vengeful spirits and freed them. Shouldn't we consider this 'gate' a success?" Everyone looked on with anticipation.
"Should we... also enter through the 'door'?"
"Wait a minute," Pei Yun said.
Everyone turned to look at her with a puzzled expression. Pei Yun said, "I'm waiting for someone."
As soon as she finished speaking, a young man with a gloomy demeanor walked out of the "door".
When the four teams first saw this man, they all looked at him curiously, but Pei Yun and his group of five knew that he was the spirit of the "Gate of the Dead".
The artifact spirit ignored everyone else, its gaze fixed intently on Pei Yun. Compared to its first meeting with Pei Yun, the artifact spirit now appeared even more shocked. It said:
"I didn't expect you to have perfectly resolved even this 'door'. This is the second difficult-level 'door' that disappeared, and you resolved both of the only difficult-level 'doors' by yourself..."
"Senior Spirit, you flatter me. This is not my achievement alone. Without my companions and the other four teams, I alone could not have broken through the second 'gate' and saved these spirits..." Pei Yun said, bowing.
The other four teams were stunned when they heard Pei Yun's address, and then looked at the artifact spirit with eager eyes.
The spirit of the artifact scanned the people present, then waved its sleeve towards the air, and twenty-five golden orbs appeared above them.
"Although Pei Yun deserves the most credit for this 'gate,' it can be considered that all five of your teams completed the trial together. This is your reward; you can each choose one."
Upon hearing this, everyone present could hardly hide their joy and excitement.
They originally wanted to politely let Pei Yun's team choose first, since the artifact spirit had just said that Pei Yun had made the greatest contribution, and they could say that they all benefited from Pei Yun's success.
Without Pei Yun, the team would have been eliminated the moment all the members lost their minds. But thanks to Pei Yun, she turned the tide and successfully converted the vengeful spirits in the "gate".
Unexpectedly, the spirit suddenly said something astonishing to Pei Yun: "The higher-ups of the temple made an agreement with me to give each team three chances to enter the 'gate,' with rewards based on each team's performance. But so far, apart from you, no one has successfully passed the difficult level 'gate.' Your team is already the undisputed number one. For the final 'gate,' you can go in alone. Your subordinates don't need to follow you. This final 'gate' is a test for you. As long as you can overcome the final 'gate' and make it disappear, I will acknowledge you as my master!"
Upon hearing this, the participants stared in disbelief at the artifact spirit and Pei Yun, never expecting to witness such an unexpected event.
Those present murmured amongst themselves: This decision must have been made by the spirit of the artifact on its own initiative, without the permission of the higher-ups in the outer temple!
However, on the other hand, this Trial Gate (Gate of the Dead) is not a precious treasure. The "gates" inside are filled with vengeful spirits and dead. Even if you recognize a master, it won't help you improve your cultivation.
But the spirits quickly made them realize that this idea was completely wrong!
The spirit said, "Pei Yun, do you know how the Gate of the Dead was forged? Do you know why these vengeful spirits can stay in the 'Gate' without their souls dissipating? Do you know why, even if you die after entering the 'Gate,' you can be safely teleported out of the 'Gate'?"
Pei Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at the artifact spirit, who said, "Because of the Resurrection Tree! These gates of the dead are all made from the immortal soul crystals that grow on the Resurrection Tree, and at the core of the gates of the dead is an ancient Resurrection Tree. This Resurrection Tree was obtained by my master from another world..."
"The Resurrection Tree?!" Xu Wei exclaimed excitedly, staring at the artifact spirit in disbelief, muttering, "The Resurrection Tree is one of the legendary Ten Immortal Trees. I've heard that there are no Resurrection Trees on the Vast Universe Continent. Such immortal trees only exist in the Upper Realm. How is this possible, how is this possible..."
Upon hearing his words, everyone's eyes, including Pei Yun's, instantly lit up.
However, after regaining his composure, Pei Yun frowned and said, "The Gate of the Dead is a property of the temple. If I pass through the third 'gate,' will you really... acknowledge me as your master?"
"Of course, my former master, Ancestor Qin Meng, made an agreement with the temple that before I acknowledge a master, I would obey the arrangements of the temple's higher-ups. But once I acknowledge a master, they must let me leave and cannot harm my new master..." the artifact spirit said proudly.
Pei Yun naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. She had seen Qin Meng, the ancestor, give the Immortal Soul Crystal to the Demon-Slaying Sword Spirit. With the Immortal Soul Crystal, her soul and the Seven Refinements of the Divine Soul she cultivated would definitely be greatly improved. The soul is the foundation of a cultivator.
Pei Yun smiled and bowed respectfully again: "This junior will follow the arrangements of Senior Spirit. Thank you for giving this junior the opportunity."
