Perfect World

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Imperishable Grass Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Imperishable Grass Without experiencing life and death, how can one understand reincarnation?

Upon hearing this, everyone in Stone Village was shaken, and the old Clan Leader was trembling even more, his mouth agape, unable to speak.

“You…

What are you talking about, is it true?” Shi Linhu’s chest heaved and his eyes opened wide, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Although Little Red’s words were brief, they were soul-stirring, causing everyone in Stone Village to be emotionally agitated, all clenching their fists, turning their gazes toward it.

“I am merely speculating.” Little Red said, its recovery nearing completion, sprouting wings, its whole body a dripping crimson, as if it were carved from rubies, its size only as large as a palm, vivid and bright.

The earthen grave was glowing, from the inside out, very gently, rippling with a special fluctuation.

“Come and look!” the hairy ball indicated, its Dual Pupils shining brightly, illuminating the interior of the grave, revealing the true scene, the soil layers unable to block the view.

“Eh, what kind of grass is this?” Little Red was surprised, it sensed a force of reincarnation, not expecting there to be a Heaven and Earth Pouch underground, containing more mysteries.

The roots of these grasses were like dragon whiskers, and very long, stretching down below the grave, enveloping the coffin within, radiating a luminescent luster.

The roots were white as jade, winding around the wooden coffin like ropes creating a large cocoon, layered upon layer, emanating halos of light, rippling with mysterious vibrations.

“You must not let out your Divine Sense,” warned Little Red.

Because it noticed that the villagers were unable to resist their impulses, wanting to explore the underground with their Divine Sense, something that would likely lead to problems given their cultivation levels.

Sure enough, Er Meng cried out in alarm, and his whole person became stupefied, he could not resist probing on his own, and afterward, he appeared as though his soul had left his body.

“Er Meng, what’s wrong with you?”
“Shh!” the hairy ball made a soft sound of reprimand, like thunder penetrating the ear, shaking his body, his eyes recovering their brilliance, and he shuddered.

“I…

I felt like I was in reincarnation, just for an instant, but it felt as long as thousands and hundreds of lives, very vague, very frightening, I…

have now forgotten!” Er Meng muttered as if in a dream, finally waking in shock, holding his head, his body trembling lightly as he finally broke free.

Everyone was startled, all the children were taken to the back, lest they get too close to the grave and an accident occurs.

Most of the villagers understood cultivation, and many of them had no small amount of strength in their cultivation, but nobody dared to act recklessly, all observing carefully, their hearts filled with excitement.

“Child, I know…

you wouldn’t leave, you can’t bear to leave us, surely you are still here!” the old Clan Leader said, trembling, his old tears streaming down.

He was the one who suffered the most, because Shi Hao was raised by him, he had never married in his life, had no offspring, and Shi Hao was his entire hope.

“Little Hao, are you still there?

Please wake up quickly,” Shi Dazhuang called out excitedly, his eyes turning red.

Over the past year, no one wanted to accept the reality that Shi Hao had passed away.

The earthen grave glowed, the fluctuations inside growing stronger, and the hairy ball and Little Red told everyone to step back and not to get too close.

“Even the Dual Pupils cannot see through it completely, it’s not ordinary,” marveled Little Red.

Hundreds, thousands of silver roots, thick and long, wound around the coffin, like the flow of the Star River, the brilliance speckling, very extraordinary, even with Dual Pupils one could not see through, the roots and that strange fluctuation of reincarnation blocking everything.

What exactly was changing inside this coffin?

They dared not touch it, afraid of damaging this condition, triggering an unfavorable change.

“This grass is somewhat similar to the Soul Resurrection Grass recorded in the bone texts, but it is also different,” Little Red observed the strange grass intently.

Above the ground, the grass blades were green, but without any rich fragrance or brilliant light, not particularly special, only the roots entwining the coffin were extraordinary, now radiating light.

The hairy ball picked a leaf and put it in its mouth, chewing slowly, tasting carefully, and said with surprise and uncertainty, “It makes one’s mind wander, falling into reincarnation.”
In the world, there is a kind of grass called Soul Resurrection, known as a divine herb of this world, and the entire Lower Realm has only ever found one stalk since ancient times.

It is said that it was taken to the higher realms, able to revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones, possessing unimaginably mysterious power!

Once this kind of grass matures, it emanates a radiance like an immense ocean, though it is in fact just an individual plant, which shows its oddity and power.

Furthermore, there is another grass in the world called karma, taking it can bring one into reincarnation, the most strange and inexplicable of all.

This kind of grass grows in the netherworld, and in ancient times, it only appeared a few times, once carried out by one of the Ten Fierce Beasts.

Possessing it, one could have endless experiences.

Of course, it was also very dangerous, a small mistake could cause the holder to fall into eternal reincarnation, their Divine Sense dissolving away.

“This is neither karma grass nor Soul Resurrection Grass, the medicinal effect is nowhere near, but it has some of their characteristics,” concluded the hairy ball and Little Red.

The villagers were all astonished, and at the same time, filled with immeasurable joy, seeing hope in this extraordinary grass.

Was it slowly changing the conditions within the grave?

“I remember now, could this be Imperishable Grass?” the hairy ball exclaimed in surprise.

“This…

it very likely is!” agreed Little Red, also showing surprise.

Legend has it that in ancient times, two supreme powers jointly cultivated a kind of Immortal Herbs, proclaimed as immortal, a name quite alarming, implying that upon consumption, one could live forever without dying.

Of course, this was just a legend of the higher realms.

The ancestors of the hairy ball and Little Red had great origins; otherwise, they would not have known, had it not been for the teachings passed down to their descendants, so the later generations also had some understanding.

“One of the powers had obtained Soul Resurrection Grass, while another supreme overlord had obtained karma grass, the two used these two herbs to cultivate, hoping to obtain the Immortal Grass, but eventually failed.”
The Immortal Grass was too defiant of the natural order and rare in the world.

Ultimately, they cultivated a kind of grass that had some of the medicinal properties of Soul Resurrection and karma, named Imperishable Grass.

If a person was severely injured, using this grass for treatment could keep their body from decaying and their Divine Sense from dispersing, maintaining a very stable condition that would not deteriorate further.

Certainly, it couldn’t be cured completely, only sustained in an “imperishable” state.

Imperishable and immortal, the names are similar, but the medicinal effects are quite different, and not comparable to the two parent herbs, so the two supreme powers felt they had lost face and did not publicize it, only their descendants mentioned it.

“Who would have thought, this strange grass, which has not been handed down and whose whereabouts were unknown, would actually appear in the Lower Realm, who brought it down here?” mused Little Red to itself.

“`
“No, that’s not right, this kind of grass is hard to survive, isn’t it said that it can only grow in special ancient places like True Dragon Caves and Divine Phoenix nests?” the hairy ball furrowed its brows as it recalled the legend.

Any being with spiritual energy could only thrive in bizarre and precious lands, and the requirements for the Imperishable Grass were indeed very special.

On the low hill, lush and vibrant, this grass was brimming with life, continuously proliferating to form a scale, surrounding the tomb, astonishing to anyone who beheld it.

Whether it was Soul Resurrection Grass or Reincarnation Grass, a second true specimen was almost never seen.

Many speculated they might be unique because even if their seeds germinated, the medicinal effects would differ by many fold.

When compared like this, the abundance of Imperishable Grass made it clear that it was indeed far from divine herbs.

Of course, even if not compared with those two kinds of grass, it was also considered a miraculous herb!

“Look, the soil here is a bit special, divided into black and white two colors, and you wouldn’t notice it without looking closely,” the hairy ball squatted down to inspect the soil beneath the grass carefully.

“No wonder, it must have been that Five-colored Sparrow that brought over the soil.” Little Red nodded.

“Could it know of a place similar to True Dragon Caves or Divine Phoenix nests?!” the hairy ball was a little excited.

Imperishable Grass couldn’t grow in ordinary places, and even the soil capable of nurturing it had been brought here.

The Five-colored Sparrow must know of some remarkable relic.

“That Five-colored Sparrow has actually found this kind of grass, there must be a huge secret!” Little Red said.

They were truly amazed; just what was the origin of that bird?

They had never seen it even once; it was too slippery, always evading capture.

It was mainly in the recent one to two years that it rarely appeared, and nobody knew where it had settled.

The villagers had already been invigorated by the news.

From their conversations, it was known that Shi Hao might come back to life; this grass was preserving his vitality, keeping his body from decay.

“The key is still up to him; this kind of grass only maintains the state he was in a year ago,” Little Red spoke somberly.

On this day, Stone Village was stirred, men and women, young and old, everyone came here, each person was overjoyed, rushing up the low hill and gathering around.

Over a year had passed, and such news spreading was unbelievable!

“Can Uncle Hao really come back to life?” the children were thrilled, especially the few who first discovered the Five-colored Sparrow “planting grass” here; they jumped and danced with happiness, feeling like they had achieved a great feat.

Shi Hao’s body once contained Reincarnation Runes, and now these vibrations naturally filled everyone with wild imaginations, incredibly happy.

Because this was a sign of revival!

“We must keep this a secret, don’t let it spread to the outside world!” Shi Feijiao said, fearing any mishap along the way.

“I will personally guard this place!” Clan Leader Shi Yunfeng’s wrinkles seemed to smooth out quite a bit, wiping away old tears and laughing heartily, dispelling the previous gloom.

This inspired many people.

From that day on, Stone Village severed all contact with the outside world.

The altar was sealed off; nobody was allowed to use it or go to Stone Country anymore.

On the low hill, a good number of people stood guard, constantly watching for any new developments, with all the villagers feeling extremely tense.

After much consideration, the hairy ball and Little Red stayed in Stone Village without approaching the area, fearful of startling the Five-colored Sparrow.

Nobody knew if the Five-colored Sparrow had any other tricks up its sleeve, and it would be terrible if it was discouraged from appearing because of them.

As for the villagers, there was no need to avoid mention, as this bird had never cared about their presence.

Sure enough, the Five-colored Sparrow appeared several times afterward, perching atop the tomb in a bold manner as if sensing something, and then it flew away again.

“Thank you, Divine Bird!”
The villagers bowed down in gratitude.

It was now evident; the Five-colored Sparrow had saved Shi Hao!

Time flew by, and after two months, with no word from the outside world, everyone in Stone Village focused their attention on guarding the low hill, growing more and more anxious.

“Hey, the tomb is cracked open!” Er Meng shouted.

The earthen grave split open, auspicious light soared out, spreading from the crevices, the benign light grew even more intense than before, the spiritual energy so rich it couldn’t dissipate.

The old Clan Leader moved swiftly, his strength greater than that of younger men.

He pushed past Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao, and others, getting to the forefront and took out the Dual Pupils to observe carefully.

“The cocoon underground is cracking in all directions!” he gasped for breath.

Imperishable Grass, with thick and shiny silver-white roots, had previously been entwined around the casket emitting a soft glow, but now many of the roots had snapped, exposing the coffin wood.

Shi Yunfeng observed carefully and found the coffin had also cracked open, one could now see a body inside.

Shi Feijiao and others were excited.

They worked together to stimulate the Dual Pupils, gaining a clearer view, able to see the scene inside the casket.

There, misty vapors billowed, all kinds of colorful fogs draped around.

Shi Hao lay in the center, his complexion rosy and lifelike!

“Characters are flashing on his body!”
The monkeys exclaimed, mysterious symbols seeped out intermittently on Shi Hao’s body, and godly lights occasionally soared from parts of his body, brilliant beyond words.

“Ah, his arm turned golden!”
“Hey, that’s not right, why did his palm just turn purple?”
Everyone was tense yet excited, anticipating a miracle to occur.

“Ah, he’s breathing, Little Hao is still alive, I see white breath coming out from his mouth and nose!”
The villagers were overjoyed, people shouted out loud, the area suddenly boiling with excitement.(To be continued.
