In the realm of immortals, there exists only one, the ultimate destination for countless practitioners from the Great Thousand World.
"What else do you want to know? As long as it's not my personal business, I can tell you anything," Shan Ba Mei said.
"Who took the Spiritual Vein from Earth?" Jiang Chen asked.
"It was a joint effort by several Xianmen. In the end, this matter was left unresolved," Shan Ba Mei replied.
"This matter cannot be so easily dismissed. For cultivators, finding a more suitable place to practice and abandoning their original cultivation ground is understandable. However, taking away the Spiritual Vein is unacceptable. Did your Kunlun Celestial Mansion not take the Spiritual Vein?" Jiang Chen inquired.
"Uh, no, we didn't," Shan Ba Mei said hurriedly, feeling a tightness in her heart despite Jiang Chen's calm tone.
"It's best that you didn't take it. If you had, it would have been returned quickly," Jiang Chen said lightly.
"The Spiritual Vein has already been taken; they won't return it, and you're no match for them," Shan Ba Mei stated.
"You'll naturally find out whether or not they're a match for me in the future," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile that instilled a sense of deep conviction in those who looked upon him.
"Alright, I understand the situation well enough now. As for your current state, lifting the seal isn't necessarily good for you. Here's what we'll do: when the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm Gate opens, I'll help you lift the seal and take you to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm. Then you'll be able to see your husband and child," Jiang Chen said.
Jiang Chen could actually help Shan Ba Mei lift the seal right now, but she had already died. With his current cultivation level, reviving her wasn't impossible; it would just be too costly and not worth the effort. Moreover, rescuing Shan Ba Mei now would only mean placing her in Quiet Villa, leaving a sleeping corpse there, which was far from ideal—even if that corpse belonged to a beautiful cultivator.
Seeing Jiang Chen's demeanor, Shan Ba Mei's eyes filled with suspicion; she did not trust him. It was understandable—after all, who would dare gamble their freedom and hope on the words of a stranger? Even if that stranger appeared unfathomable.
"You have no choice but to trust me," Jiang Chen said.
"I hope you keep your promise. However, the formation between the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm and Earth is no ordinary one. Even if we gather the Seven Divine Artifacts to open it recklessly, it could lead to certain death. Are you sure your strength can withstand the backlash of the formation?" Shan Ba Mei said with a pale face, resigned.
"A mere two-realm formation poses no threat to me. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll first help you lift part of the seal so that Spiritual Energy can enter. Then I’ll teach you a Forging Soul Technique to preserve your three souls; that is what you need to do now. As for whether you can return to your physical body and be revived in the future, that will depend on your own fortune," Jiang Chen explained.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Shan Ba Mei's slightly ethereal complexion showed surprise and joy.
"Can I really be revived?" Shan Ba Mei asked, unable to hide her excitement.
"Perhaps," Jiang Chen nodded.
In truth, he did not explicitly say that with his assistance, Shan Ba Mei could definitely be revived; however, such a revival was not an easy task. After all, Shan Ba Mei had been dead for tens of thousands of years. Fortunately, her physical body remained intact. With Jiang Chen's full support, she could indeed be revived; yet he would not guarantee this in front of her because the information she had revealed did not warrant such an extensive effort on his part to bring her back to life.
