Despite the others' pleas, Yuan Feng paid no heed. Seeing Yuan Feng unmoved, Tongtian suddenly let out a fierce roar:
"Yuan Feng, if you wish to die, go die elsewhere! Do not expire on my Shangqing Peak, it's bad luck!"
Everyone looked at Tongtian in disbelief. Yuanshi directly slapped him on the back of the head.
"Third brother, what are you saying!"
Taishang also looked at Tongtian with displeasure. Tongtian scratched his head sheepishly.
"I was just trying to provoke her!"
Yuan Feng shot Tongtian an annoyed glance and said calmly, "After I die, I will return to heaven and earth. I will not dirty the dwelling of the Shangqing Sage!"
Seeing the Undying Flame on Yuan Feng's body about to extinguish, Taishang suddenly took out the Chaos Bead and tossed it above the Qilin Cliff.
Everyone watched Taishang with confusion, not understanding what he was doing. Taishang sighed. If even this couldn't save Yuan Feng, he would be powerless. He had made a contingency when Qilin Yi died, and he didn't know if it would work.
After the Chaos Bead floated above the Qilin Cliff, nine streams of primordial chaos energy surged forth from it and flowed towards the cliff.
Taishang watched, his heart aching. His Chaos Bead had only nurtured these nine streams of primordial chaos energy over the years. Now, he had used them all for an uncertain outcome.
After releasing the nine streams, the Chaos Bead became dim and lusterless. Taishang, with a pained expression, retrieved it and stared intently at the Qilin Cliff.
Tongtian and Yuanshi looked at Taishang's actions, utterly bewildered. They had been present when the First Qilin died, and it had been a death beyond all doubt. What was their eldest brother doing?
Taishang saw that the Undying Flame on Yuan Feng's body had extinguished, and the phoenix phantom above Shangqing Peak had faded to the point of near disappearance. Even Yuan Feng's body had begun to disintegrate into tiny red particles, drifting towards heaven and earth.
Taishang looked on with deep disappointment. Had it failed after all? His heart bled with the preciousness of the primordial chaos energy. He had used it all, and it seemed to have been for naught. Taishang even regretted his impulsiveness.
However, Taishang glanced at Kong Xuan and Yi Yi Xian, who were weeping, and sighed, thinking that he had done his best.
Just as Taishang lost all hope, a gentle breeze suddenly appeared out of nowhere above the Qilin Cliff and blew directly towards Yuan Feng.
Taishang sensed it and burst into laughter. The other five Saints looked at Taishang in disbelief.
The gentle breeze grew stronger and stronger. The others gradually became aware of its presence. Bai Yao looked at Taishang, puzzled, and asked, "Master, where is this wind coming from?"
Taishang ignored Bai Yao, his eyes fixed on Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng's body, which had been turning into red particles, was blown by the breeze. Instead of scattering, it became more solid. The red particles grew increasingly vibrant, like tiny sparks of fire.
As the breeze intensified, a small flame, which had been extinguished on Yuan Feng's body, suddenly appeared above her brow. It then slowly began to spread throughout her entire body.
Bai Yao incredulously tugged at Taishang's arm, exclaiming, "Master, it's burning! It's burning!"
Taishang glared at Bai Yao's unworldly demeanor and roared, "Shut up, I'm not blind!"
Hearing this, Bai Yao wisely fell silent. Kong Xuan and Yi Yi Xian, witnessing this, turned from sorrow to joy. Zhen Yuanzi had said that as long as Yuan Feng's flame was not extinguished, she would not die. This was the manifestation of a rebirth from the brink of death.
