Chapter 4878

“Resurrecting your wife shouldn’t be too difficult, but I still need to confirm it. After all, she has been dead for nearly a thousand years,” Kai said.

“But Mr. Shi can instantly revive even those who have been completely annihilated. If that’s the case, bringing your wife back should be possible!”

“If he can bring back people who have been utterly destroyed, then reviving my wife should be no issue at all! You must contact this Mr. Shi immediately!”

The man in the black robe was growing impatient.

“I can’t reach Mr. Shi right now, but I know he will find me eventually. When he does, I will ask him on your behalf,” Kai replied honestly.

Mr. Shi always appeared unexpectedly, and Kai had never known where to find him.

“If I can bring my wife back, I’m willing to sacrifice my cultivation—even my life!”

The man in black robe’s voice trembled with emotion.

“There aren’t many men in this world as devoted as you. If your wife is watching from the heavens, she would surely be at peace,” Kai said with admiration.

But the man in black robe shook his head. “I don’t deserve to be called devoted. I’m the one who killed my wife…”

“You… killed her?” Kai was stunned.

How could a man so deeply in love be responsible for his wife’s death?

The man in black robe nodded slowly, then removed his cloak.

Underneath, he was gaunt and deathly pale, his appearance resembling that of a vampire.

“My wife and I grew up together. We cultivated side by side, climbed the ranks together… we even bathed together,” he said bitterly.

“She was more talented than me, and her cultivation was always ahead of mine.”

“After we married and became dual cultivation partners, she continued to help me, yet I could never surpass her.”

“Over time, my pride as a man got the better of me. Watching her strength exceed mine, I grew resentful.”

“In secret, I began practicing dark arts, hoping that through forbidden techniques, I could finally surpass her…”
“In the end, I did surpass my wife. My power grew rapidly, but my mind changed as well—my reason was slowly consumed.”

“To cultivate, I began draining the blood of innocent people, becoming nothing more than a demon.”

“My wife eventually realized something was wrong. During our dual cultivation, she forcibly absorbed the dark energy from my body. In the end, to prevent herself from turning into a demon, she sacrificed her soul, leaving behind only an empty body.”

“When I finally came to my senses and saw her lifeless form, regret consumed me—but it was already too late…”

“Nearly a thousand years have passed, and my body is still corroded by demonic energy, unable to fully recover.”

“My wife has never spoken to me since. Now, all I can do is stare at her in silence every day…”

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

Kai didn’t know how to comfort him. Only someone who had experienced such a tragedy could truly understand his pain.

“What’s your name? I don’t even know who you are,” Kai asked.

“I’ll do my best to help you. Since her body is intact, resurrection shouldn’t be too difficult!”

“My name is Musha,” the man replied. With a gentle wave of his palm, his wife’s body disappeared into his storage ring. “I will go with you.”

After taking a final look at the room, Musha raised his hand, and in an instant, flames engulfed the entire space.

Kai followed Musha back to the hall.

“Let’s go!” he said to Li Chunfeng and the others.

The group left the fourth floor, which sealed itself behind them, ceasing to exist.

“Mr. Chen, are you still planning to ascend to the fifth floor?” Musha asked.

“Not for now. I have more important matters to attend to,” Kai replied, retrieving a jade slip from his robes.

It was the fourth jade slip of the Heaven and Earth Formation. At that moment, a faint glow emanated from it.

Kai understood immediately—the fourth jade slip was about to activate. Once it did, the Heaven and Earth Formation would finally reveal itself!
