Chapter 26: Resurrection Prayer
Mo Bai saw that Xiao Wu had fallen into fantasy again. He leaned over and whispered into Xiao Wu's ear, delivering the final shot of encouragement: "I have seen the future, a scene of Xiao Wu living with your mother."
"The future... living with Mother." Xiao Wu murmured, the light in her eyes gradually brightening.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Mo Bai's voice became mysterious, his gaze locked tightly on Xiao Wu, "So Xiao Wu, do you believe that I can create a method to bring back the dead?"
Delusion activated! Scenes from before flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes. She did not believe that a Soul Beast could survive after a sacrifice, but now there was a living example right before her eyes.
She didn't quite believe they could create the Cultivation Technique and Meditation Technique that everyone Cultivated, yet the things were right there in front of her.
She also didn't quite believe they could create a method for resurrection. But what if? What if it succeeded? It wouldn't be the first time.
[Ding! Xiao Wu believes your lie — creating a means of resurrection — to be true. Trust level 0.0001%, materialization level 50%. Successfully materialized a minimal concept of Resurrection Prayer!]
Starting off close to the Meditation Technique learned last time meant that the trust in this area was also constantly increasing.
Resurrection Prayer? A strange term. What exactly is going on in Xiao Wu's head? But... having a concept is good.
Mo Bai narrowed his eyes, sensing the series of information flooding into his mind.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu looked up at this scene, everything felt so familiar, just like when Mo Bai suddenly "had an inspiration" while developing the Meditation Technique.
Could it be... A bold thought crossed Xiao Wu's mind: Mo Bai already had a concept?! This overly bold thought made Xiao Wu's heart race wildly.
However, Mo Bai's calm voice suddenly reached her ears: "It is time to go back, Xiao Wu."
"Go back?" Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly. Her body couldn't move, and returning to the Star Dou Great Forest was out of the question. If it wasn't physical, there was only one possibility — Mo Bai was going to Seal her memories again!
"No! Mo Bai!" Xiao Wu once again put on a pitiful, pleading look, but Mo Bai's expression remained unmoved.
Xiao Wu added humbly, "I will do anything... No, I will study hard and won't hold you back. Besides, this is something that can resurrect my mother! I will absolutely not slack off! Believe me! Believe me!"
Seeing this, Mo Bai's heart softened a little. He placed his hand on Xiao Wu's restless head and comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I trust you very much, but living a happy life is better than living in fear, isn't it? I am doing this for your own good. See you later."
"No! Mo Bai! No! I..." Xiao Wu hadn't finished her sentence.
Mo Bai watched as Xiao Wu's eyes changed from dull and gray to clear again, finally tinged with a hint of shyness.
Feeling the warmth from the palm on her head, Xiao Wu's face flushed slightly, "What are you doing? Mo Bai."
"It's nothing," Mo Bai spoke at the right moment, his voice gentle, his gaze confirming something, "After absorbing the purple pole grass liquid, your head should be a bit swollen and painful. How are you feeling now?"
Speaking of headaches, Xiao Wu only then felt a bit of swelling and pain. Not just her head, but the tip of her tongue also felt a sting, as if she had accidentally bitten it herself.
Could it be that she had talked in her sleep just now? She didn't say anything she shouldn't have, did she? Thinking of this, Xiao Wu raised her eyes slightly to peek at Mo Bai, found nothing unusual, and then quietly lowered her head, letting out a sigh of relief.
It seemed there were no unexpected surprises as she had feared. Mo Bai held the same thought and smiled slightly: "Alright, Xiao Wu, I happen to have a new idea recently. Let us continue studying."
"Ah? Studying again." A reluctant expression appeared on Xiao Wu's face again.
But when she heard Mo Bai say that this time it was about resurrecting humans or Soul Beasts, her little eyes froze, and the image of her mother being hunted by humans flashed involuntarily in her mind.
Is it true? That's impossible, right? But, that is Mo Bai! Xiao Wu met Mo Bai's eyes again as if to confirm. That's right, this is Mo Bai; nothing is impossible!
"Although... it sounds a bit impossible," Xiao Wu said insincerely, though her eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, "But Mo Bai, since you said to try, then let's try!"
This time was different from the past! This was something she truly wanted to do! Mo Bai chuckled and patted Xiao Wu's head: "Then let's begin."
...
Resurrection Prayer, a ritual that utilizes an object of Origin, blood of the closest kin, and the prayer of faith from ten thousand living beings.
Fu, the 'Fu' of recovery, the 'Fu' of resurrection. Sheng, the'Sheng' of life, the'Sheng' of vitality. The effect of the ritual was more comprehensive than he had imagined.
But the so-called living beings cannot be ordinary people; they must be Soul Masters who possess Soul Power. However, ten thousand Soul Masters, whether in the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, or Spirit Hall, belong to the crucial trump card troops.
It also requires their faith to be unified, which is even more difficult to achieve. Even if the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, or Spirit Hall learned of this ritual, it would be very difficult to realize.
Xiao Wu would always set difficulties for herself, and this was only materialized to the 50% level.
Inside the dormitory, Mo Bai silently put down the notes in his hand. Xiao Wu also had a troubled look on her face.
Theoretically, their method was feasible, but in reality, apart from the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and Spirit Hall, no faction could produce more than ten thousand Soul Masters.
Thinking of this, a trace of disappointment couldn't help but well up in her heart. But it was not yet time to give up! Having a method meant having hope!
"Mo Bai, let's continue!" Xiao Wu cheered herself up and looked at Mo Bai, who was deep in thought. According to custom, whenever a little bit was completed, Mo Bai would come up with a whole bunch of whimsical ideas...
"Forget it, let's rest for today." Mo Bai put away the notes, stood up, and looked at the Blue Silver Emperor on the windowsill.
Ten thousand Soul Masters—others might not have them, but he did! Although Notting City was just a small city, its population, added to the population of the surrounding villages, was close to ten thousand people, which coincided with Xiao Wu's imagination.
And Xiao Wu probably knew this point, which was why such a condition appeared in her mind, making it convenient for him.
Half a year had passed since the Soft Bone Rabbit Visualization Method was last spread. Even if some people had poor talent, their Soul Power would have broken through to level one, allowing them to count as Soul Masters and members of the living beings.
Now was the perfect time to take this opportunity to explore how high his status was in the eyes of those who had been hinted at. If it wasn't enough, he wouldn't mind performing another round of hypnosis.
As for the risks of the ritual, the 50% materialization level was still in a dangerous stage, but since it concerned the Blue Silver Emperor and not him, the impact was not significant.
The only problem was the blood of the closest kin. Tang San? That didn't seem right either; the Blue Silver Emperor was currently in a Soul Beast state. Theoretically, the Blue Silver Grass was the Bloodline of her clan and could be considered the closest kin.
Before this, Mo Bai had casually told someone to spread the word, and a craze for harvesting Blue Silver Grass had broken out in Notting City and even the countryside.
