The Resurrecting Overlord

A boy whose every needs were catered to by the heavens, this was what Dong Xian was in the eyes of Zhao Xian. Of course, he did not know about the existence of the astral plane or the cheat-like ability known as the Soul Bell. Meanwhile, Dong Xian felt creeped out by Zhao Xian staring at him. He gulped down saliva as cold sweat formed on his forehead. If he used that "Demon Arts- Shadow Demon's Bindings" on Dong Xian, he could not resist even if Zhao Xian did something inappropriate to him. He had already forgotten about how he had broke almost all the spiritual medicine belonging to Zhao Xian, and did not feel killing intent either.

Zhao Xian racked his brains for an idea. It was obvious that the Heavenly Qi in Dong Xian was developed enough to absorb other types of energy. Otherwise, it would have absorbed the Yin energy on the peak, and Dong Xian would not have felt the cold. There came the big problem. How the hell was he, an elder of a Great Demon Clan, going to get a corresponding Cultivation Manual for Dong Xian? Now that he was clear headed, he regretted taking on Dong Xian. He could not possibly take back his words now, right?

The Great Demon Clan may appear high and almighty in the Tai Empire, but they knew that they were just a drop in the ocean. The Li Capital Empire had clans that were better than them in all aspects. The Heavenly Qi they heard in the legends were in many myths their sect-grandmaster had recorded. It could only appear in people whose blood veins ran with divine blood. The world's era had always changed whenever they appeared. The myths, however, did not mention on how to nurture a Heavenly Qi possessing cultivator. They only noted down the remarkable achievements. It was as if they were purposely making the matter hard for the later generations. Still, he needed to report it to the sect master. He reluctantly bound up Dong Xian again, and this time flew to the Great Demon Clan's center, the Demon Flower Peak.

Sect Master Zhao Feng perked up when he felt a Soul Stage cultivator came over. Finally, he could test out the new Devil Blood plants he created with this test subject. Those plants had costed him 100 high-grade spirit stones to nurture. Purportedly, the original plants it originated from were able to stop any one below the Soul Stage and consume them to advance its growth. The plants had just reached a.d.u.l.thood, so he felt that a Soul Stage cultivator should be able to take them on. Then, he felt an excruciating pain from the Devil Blood plants. They were screaming in his ears and he collapsed on the floor, screaming.

As Zhao Xian reached the entrance of the peak, he heard somebody's anguished screams. Hmm... it sounded very familiar to him, and he tried hard to put his finger on it. Isn't that, Sect Master Zhao Feng? He raised his eyebrows and saw the fallen Zhao Feng, his scream distorted. It was so loud that he could hardly withstand the sound as he got closer. It was puzzling. Wha could make a Formation Stage expert react like this? Surely not an Ascendant expert would from Li Capital Empire would come down to the subordinate Tai Empire and make trouble for the Great Demon Clan?

Another wave of screams came again and again. The Devil Blood plants were really feeling the pain that even Zhao Feng was affected badly. Dong Xian, who was released from the art when Zhao Xian was distracted by the scream, went closer to where Zhao Feng was. The moment he inched closer to Zhao Feng, the more intense and frequency were Zhao Feng's screams. A few blood red vines that were lying on the floor stood up and started to wither at a visible rate, when Dong Xian got closer. Zhao Xian, who had noticed the vines reacting negatively to Dong Xian, told him, "Quick, redraw your Qi!" Dong Xian did not question him and did what he was ordered to. The screams were so loud, it was hard to bear, and Dong Xian already had an inkling of what had happened.

The red blood vines then slumped onto the ground, clearly exhausted. Zhao Feng also stopped screaming, even though the trauma in his eyes were evident of the pain he had suffered. He was still a Formation cultivator though, and recovered in 10 minutes. He looked with horror at Dong Xian, stammering, "You...you...you, what type of Monster are you? To be able to even affect my Devil Blood plants and even me?" Dong Xian replied with disdain,"Only the person your elder right here abducted." Zhao Xian glared at him menacingly, but Dong Xian just deflected the glare. Dong Xian smiled to himself and thought that he looked like an expert for deflecting the glare. Zhao Feng looked at him and had a startling conclusion. The Qi rolling off him was so pure that it was repelling his own Qi. It was probably this boy's Qi that had threatened the Devil Blood plants.

It seemed like elder Zhao Xian has really acquired a rare treasure this time. Zhao Feng told Dong Xian, "You will become my succeeding disciple." Dong Xian, who had developed Stockholm Syndrome by now, spoke up, " Will there be manuals for me?" "Of course there will be manuals for you!" Zhao Feng replied confidently. "But what's your name?" Dong Xian replied earnestly, "My name is Dong Xian. Pleased to meet you, master!"

Even though he was unhappy, he knew that only Sect Master could have a manual to help Dong Xian grow. He would later realise this was not the case.
