“He is being resurrected!”

Upon receiving this news, the entire upper echelons of Purple Cloud Star were shaken.

Merely from the size of the corpse, it was clear that the “corpse” had been an exceptional, unparalleled cultivator beyond their reach.

He was clearly dead, and yet now there were signs of resurrection.

This completely surpassed their imagination.

“Can a dead cultivator still be resurrected?”

“It’s unclear, but it’s said that the Lifeless True Saint from Source Star can pull people back from the abyss of death, even if they have been dead for hundreds of years, a resurrection can still take place.”

With the onset of inter-realm warfare, the name of Lifeless True Saint had spread across a hundred thousand worlds, carrying with it various legends, such that even a small planet like Purple Cloud Star was aware.

Resurrecting the dead was the most widely known ability attributed to the Lifeless True Saint.

“Resurrection, what a formidable technique. When cultivators reach a certain realm, it seems they truly become omnipotent… However, if the Lifeless True Saint possesses the method of resurrection, then perhaps the corpse could resurrect itself, given that he might have been a cultivator as strong as the mythical Lifeless True Saint in life. But now, how should we deal with this?”

A “corpse” in the process of resurrection posed a difficult problem for the people of Purple Cloud Star.

They had tested it with instruments and found that even if they used the most powerful means available to Purple Cloud Star to attack, they could not harm the “corpse” at all.

The strength of the “corpse” exceeded their capability to deal with.

“Should we study it?” someone suggested, as all the peoples of the worlds knew that the corpse of any strong cultivator held immense value.

The people of Purple Cloud Star naturally wanted to obtain it but faced such a corpse with reservations.

“But what if that strong cultivator indeed resurrects in the end?”

The matter of resurrection weighed heavily on their minds.

No one dared to make a decision lightly.

In the end, the matter could only be set aside temporarily, and as for the individuals who had initially intended to go out and call for help, all factions tacitly understood and none chose to dispatch anyone.

Of course, at first, there was only hesitation, and any choice seemed possible.

That was until one month after the “corpse” appeared.

Almost all of the leaders of the various factions received a message.

[Practicing cultivation next to the “corpse” leads to guidance by an inexplicable energy, making cultivation much easier. Some have already used it to break through to the Third Realm or even the Fourth Realm.]

The Third Realm, the Fourth Realm – in some powerful worlds, these realms didn’t even qualify for the front lines, fitting only for logistics and clerical roles.

But for a minor world like Purple Cloud Star, these represented the world’s strongest.

Upon receiving the message that the “corpse” could aid in cultivation, heads of all factions could no longer stay seated.

“Easily aiding in breaking through to the Fourth Realm, if so, is it possible to assist in reaching even higher realms, the Fifth Realm, the Sixth Realm… even the Eighth Realm?”

“It turns out aiding cultivation, the ’corpse’s value far exceeds our imagination, we cannot miss this; we must secure a part of it.”

With the original silence broken, all factions began to act.

They conducted comprehensive tests on the effects on cultivation and soon obtained the most detailed information:

[The closer you are to the corpse, the greater the assistance it provides for cultivation. Not just that the energy is denser, but the inexplicable energy that guides cultivation is also stronger. Moreover, within ten kilometers from the ’corpse,’ one can hear the heartbeat, and by emulating this rhythm, with sufficient comprehension, one can acquire a powerful Breathing Method, a Cultivation Method that seems to come with the ’corpse’…]

Once the detailed information was released, the various factions immediately dispatched a large number of people.

Aiding cultivation, powerful Cultivation Methods – either was something they desperately needed.

“If we can avoid submission, it’s naturally better not to submit. With this ’corpse’ present, even we of Purple Cloud Star have the chance to rise on our own.”

“Too fast, I’ve never experienced such a rapid pace of cultivation; I feel that within at most half a year, I can break through to the Fifth Realm!”

The Fifth Realm was no longer considered weak. Life expectancy exceeded fifteen hundred years, allowing one to initially survive in the starry skies. Although not as free as the Seventh Realm, it was still a tremendous advancement.

And a month ago, such a thing was unimaginable to the cultivators of Purple Cloud Star.

Countless cultivators staked out positions around the “corpse,” even fighting over them, but the coalition formed due to external pressures eventually played its role.

After two months of dividing interests, the area around the “corpse” finally calmed down.

Of course, they only dared to use the vicinity for cultivation, no one dared to climb directly onto the “corpse.”

After all, they were all aware that this “corpse” was showing signs of life, was in the process of resurrection.

Perhaps one day, it would return from death.

“Nothing is to be done to this body; on the contrary, we must maintain a corresponding respect. He is the benefactor of our world,” the terminology changed from “corpse” to the body, and even to benefactor, as they began to utilize it for cultivation.

“Move all the equipment over, constantly monitor the signs of life.”

The entire Purple Cloud Star revolved around a body whose state of life or death was unknown; other matters were cast aside, and no one mentioned seeking help again.

The original hesitation turned into determination.

Using the suddenly appeared body for self-elevation.

Of course, there were still doubts:

“This ’corpse’ is resurrecting; if it turns out to be a ruthless strong entity after its resurrection, what then? Wouldn’t we have no chance left?”

Once these words came out, someone immediately retorted, “It’s all a bet anyway, so why not bet on our own rise?”

Even more so, some outright said, “If we have to put it bluntly, by rising with the help of that body, perhaps we might even be considered descendants of that powerful cultivator, and ascending to the heavens in a single bound may not be just a dream.”
