Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Hong Ling's child had just asked, "Mom, I know I have been resurrected. Was it the person just now?"

"Yes, child. Remember, it was the True Saint who gave you a new life. You must serve the True Saint in this life."

The child of Hong Ling nodded in confusion but etched the event into his memory.

Meanwhile, Wang Sheng did not return to Qingshan Village.

Reviving Hong Ling's child had only consumed a minuscule amount of his life span. With a bit of progress, he could replenish it tenfold, maybe even dozens of times over. Besides, with the Time Dice's cooperation, he used one-third less energy than anticipated.

Given that he had revived Hong Ling's child, he could not show undue preference.

After all, when it came to contributions, Xia Yang was no less deserving than Hong Ling—in fact, even more so.

And others like Huangtian also had significant merits.

He did not wish to play favorites. It might indeed be possible to resolve these matters all at once.

Of course, reviving everyone was impossible.

One cannot be too generous with such matters.

Practicing with a few, however, was possible.

It didn't take long for him to find Xia Yang.

Xia Yang was already aware of the True Saint's intentions.

"True Saint, I wish to resurrect my parents."

He knew it was due to his own merits that the True Saint was willing to offer him two resurrection spots, and his parents were the most fitting candidates.

Resurrecting his ancestor might exceed his own merits.

His parents had died at the hands of the Fiery Flame Sect.

Though much time had passed, he could not forget.

Wang Sheng was unaware of what Xia Yang was thinking. In truth, he would have agreed to resurrect even his ancestors, like the Seventh Realm's He Qiang. But to him, that was all trivial.

Moreover, since their deaths were not very long ago, it wouldn't be overly preposterous.

However, since Xia Yang himself had made the request, he naturally wouldn't say more.

Soon after, he brought Xia Yang to the ruins of the Fiery Flame Sect.

The place was now deserted.

Xia Yang felt deeply moved.

Wang Sheng, however, did not dwell on these emotions and promptly initiated time reversal.

Xia Yang himself was not outstanding in talent, and neither were his parents, who had only reached the Fifth Realm and had been dead for over a decade.

The backlash from the river of time and space was severe, but still manageable.

As the scene shifted, Xia Yang once again saw that night of blood and fire—the beginning of his changed destiny.

"Are they the ones?"

"Yes."

Xia Yang nodded and pulled two figures from the river of time.

At first, they had to correct their memories, and then they finally saw Xia Yang standing before them.

By that time, Wang Sheng had departed. They looked at the person both unfamiliar and familiar, incredulous: "Is that you, Yang?"

Though his appearance had changed, his essence remained the same. Being at the Fifth Realm, they found it easy to recognize.

"Father, Mother!"

With two calls, the family was reunited.

Xia Yang already understood his current circumstance and quickly explained everything.

"Never would we have imagined, Yang, that you'd have such an encounter. Does that mean our resurrection was also the work of the True Saint?"

Such a method of resurrection was unheard of to them.

"Yes, the True Saint's power is beyond imagination."

Resurrecting his parents only deepened his devout faith.

His parents exchanged a glance, realizing their son had encountered something inconceivable, and ultimately Xia Yang's father said, "In that case, you should serve the True Saint well, and we will take care of ourselves."

Xia Yang nodded, offering no objections.

At the Fifth Realm, within a harmonious environment, one could live quite comfortably.

With the True Saint resurrecting his parents, it was only natural he would serve with even greater devotion.

At that point, Wang Sheng had already found Huangtian and the others.

None of the others had any need for resurrection.

Huangtian had a tragic childhood; his aged parents had passed away a natural death.

That the siblings became refugees was partly due to war but mainly as the result of ruthless relatives.

They felt closer to Wang Sheng and had little need for anything else.

Ultimately, Wang Sheng thought that if Huang Yue had any desire for resurrection, she would have already made pleas during Hong Ling's child's revival.

He did not insist, but instead said, "If you wish, you may tell me."

Even though it was natural death, it was not impossible to extend their lives a bit longer.

Beyond that, there was no one else qualified.

Wang Sheng returned to Qingshan Village.

"Because of the Time Dice, I used less energy than anticipated, consuming about a thousand years of my lifespan, but as time reversed, progress increased significantly."

A lifespan of a thousand years was considerable.

Equivalent to that of a long-lived Fourth Realm being.

But for Wang Sheng, who had a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, it was insignificant.

And, he was indeed interested in trying some time retrospection resurrections.

"Time Retrospection is indeed a valuable skill, I should invest a bit more time into it."

After a simple experiment, Wang Sheng secluded himself again.

The legend of the resurrection began to spread throughout the influence of Source Star.

"Have you heard? Master Xia's parents have appeared!"

"Master Xia," a name known only to refer to the Sect Hierarch of the Lifeless Sect, Xia Yang.

As a focal character, many were well aware of Xia Yang's life story.

"Master Xia's parents, didn't they die long ago…"

"They say due to his outstanding contributions, he caught the True Saint's gaze, who then truly pulled Master Xia's parents back from the hell of death."

"Really? That was decades ago!"

As the story spread, the tale of Hong Ling also returned, adding credibility to the event.

It wasn't long before Xia Yang acknowledged it himself, which escalated the whole matter to a climax.
