Transcendent Insight: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Douluo

"Since you all wish to know, I won't keep you in suspense. Take a look at the person beside me—does anyone recognize him?"

Seeing everyone nod, Dugu Bo didn't drag it out any longer and directly pushed Dugu Xin forward.

The person beside Dugu Bo?Only then did the crowd notice that Dugu Bo had been accompanied by two people all along—one man and one woman, one old and one young.

The young girl, naturally, was someone everyone recognized: Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's only granddaughter, a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and captain of the Emperor Team. Before arriving, her information had already been gathered by all the major factions.

As for the middle-aged man, however, everyone was baffled. Why would Dugu Bo think any of them would know him?Looking at the man before them—one mouth, two eyes, one nose, and two ears—the only remarkable features were his emerald-green eyes and hair, which bore some resemblance to Dugu Bo's former appearance...

Wait, emerald-green? Resembling Dugu Bo's past appearance?

Ju Douluo seemed to recall something as he stared at the man, his right hand trembling slightly as he pointed at him in shock. "Y-you... you're Xin'er? Didn't you... didn't you already pass away?"

Ju Douluo had naturally met Dugu Xin before. In fact, he and Dugu Bo had once been on quite good terms.

In his quest to cure the poison of his martial soul, Dugu Bo had traveled across the entire Douluo Continent, even venturing into some of its most perilous regions.

During this time, he had befriended Ju Douluo. The two had hit it off immediately, becoming close companions, and Dugu Bo would often bring Dugu Xin along to chat and discuss matters with Ju Douluo.

Later, after Dugu Xin's death, Dugu Bo's temperament underwent a drastic change. Following a series of events, the two had eventually become estranged, barely interacting anymore.

Ning Fengzhi had been carefully observing Dugu Xin, but it wasn't until Ju Douluo spoke that he suddenly realized—the man before them was the very same Dugu Xin mentioned in the records, the one who had supposedly died.

What was going on?

At Ju Douluo's words, the entire crowd was stunned. How could someone who had died reappear here?"Uncle Yueguan, it's been a long time," Dugu Xin said, looking at Ju Douluo with nostalgia in his eyes.

Dugu Xin's words were an undeniable confirmation—he was indeed the Dugu Xin who had died.

"Old Poison, what the hell is going on here? Didn't Xin'er already die?" Ju Douluo, unable to believe what he was hearing, turned to Dugu Bo for answers.

"Ju Huaguan, watch your tone. Xin'er did die, but the person standing here now is indeed the Xin'er from back then. That much is indisputable," Dugu Bo retorted before explaining.

After all, back when Dugu Xin was alive, Dugu Bo and Yueguan had been close friends, and Dugu Xin had shared a deep bond with Yueguan as well. It was only natural for Yueguan to be concerned about Dugu Xin.

"Lord Dugu, are you saying that your son, Dugu Xin, has been... resurrected?"

Xue Qinghe, who had been listening quietly, finally pieced things together and asked Dugu Bo in a tone laced with disbelief.

It wasn't surprising that Xue Qinghe sounded so incredulous. What was happening now was simply beyond reason—how could the dead possibly return to life?"Correct. This is the secret behind the light pillar you've all been searching for," Dugu Bo admitted without further delay. "The Revival Item—the Revival Coin—is what brought Xin'er back to life. It's also the source of that light pillar."

Hiss—Hearing Dugu Bo confirm Dugu Xin's resurrection and even introduce something called a "Revival Item," the crowd collectively drew a sharp breath.

Resurrection... was actually real.

"Lord Dugu, may I ask how you obtained this Revival Item?" Xue Qinghe's expression was unreadable as he posed the question.

At Xue Qinghe's words, the others who had been about to ask Dugu Bo the same thing immediately fell silent.

In an instant, the entire reception hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Relax. Since I've brought it up, it means I have no intention of hiding it. I'll tell you everything," Dugu Bo said, rolling his eyes at the crowd, who were trying (and failing) to act composed while straining to hear every word.

"The source of the Revival Item isn't me—it's a dear friend of mine, Wu Tong."

At Dugu Bo's words, the crowd froze. Wu Tong? Were they familiar with him?Of course they were. In the current Douluo Continent, you might not know who the Pope was, but you absolutely had to know who Wu Tong was.

The Continent's Foremost Sage, Grandmaster of Martial Soul Research, Medicine Saint... Title after title had been claimed by Wu Tong and now adorned his name. His reputation was at its peak, and nearly every person on the continent had directly or indirectly benefited from his work.

Because of this, Wu Tong was revered by the majority of the continent as "The Sage." With such an immense network of connections, he had also become one of the people you simply did not dare to offend.

"How could the Revival Item possibly come from Wu Tong? That brat could never produce such a treasure! Old Poison, if you don't want to tell us, there's no need to spin such an outrageous lie!"

Hearing this voice, the crowd turned to see it was Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Rather than agreeing with him, however, everyone instead looked at him with pity.

Back before Wu Tong had risen to fame, all the major factions had been eager to recruit him for his potential. But while they had competed for his allegiance, none had resorted to lethal measures.

Except for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The reason was simple: Yu Xiaogang had grown jealous of Wu Tong. The fact that someone so young could achieve so much had twisted his envy into hatred, prompting him to secretly write to his father, Yu Yuanzhen, urging him to eliminate Wu Tong.

Though Yu Yuanzhen had long been disappointed in his good-for-nothing son, deep down, he still harbored immense guilt and love for his only child. Thus, he agreed to Yu Xiaogang's request.

In Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, Wu Tong was nothing more than a powerless trash of a soul master—a commoner trying to rise above his station through so-called "martial soul research." Killing him would be no trouble at all.

So Yu Yuanzhen had sought out Wu Tong and, right there in the middle of the street, attacked him. If not for Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo stepping in, Wu Tong would have died that day, and the world would never have known the Sage whose prestige and reputation now knew no equal.

That assassination attempt had forged an irreconcilable blood feud between Wu Tong and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In the years that followed, Wu Tong frequently used his influence, wealth, and access to classified information to issue bounties.

The relentless stream of assassination contracts had inflicted heavy losses on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, leaving Yu Yuanzhen drowning in regret.

While outsiders didn't understand why the Sage held such animosity toward the clan, among the major factions, this history was no secret. Many even used it to mock Yu Yuanzhen.

Now, Dugu Xin's existence proved beyond doubt that the Revival Item was real. And if it truly was Wu Tong's creation, then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would undoubtedly be excluded from any share of it.

At this realization, the crowd exchanged glances, their eyes alight with excitement at the thought of one less faction dividing the spoils.

And perhaps... they could even use members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as bargaining chips to obtain Revival Items.

With this in mind, some of them gazed at Yu Yuanzhen with undisguised greed.
