Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 109: Chapter 81: Top-Tier Heterodox Secret Techniques, First to Enter the Tenth Trial [5K, Seeking Subscriptions!]

Even if the Yin Technique and Law-Devouring Yin Insect did not break the illusion in the trial of the eighth level, he felt no fear, as he never intended to leave Deadman Peak.

As for loyalty.

Wen Jiu could only say that as long as Deadman Peak did not fail him, he would not fail Deadman Peak. In crucial moments, he was even willing to step forward.

...

Meanwhile.

Ye Chen coldly looked at Bai Jianxin, ”Elder Bai, open your dog eyes wide and see clearly, stop using your butt eyes to look at my disciple!”

Bai Jianxin twitched at the corner of his mouth, feeling angry inside, but he didn’t retort because Wen Jiu had indeed passed the eighth level.

The eighth level’s trial was personally modified by the Great Elder and was extremely harsh on disciples. There were instances before where disciples with top-grade single-attribute Spirit Roots failed the trial. Wen Jiu’s success demonstrated his loyalty to Deadman Peak.

If he retorted now, it would be tantamount to questioning the Great Elder’s capability, as well as questioning what their master had taught them.

He couldn’t bear that accusation.

So he could only let Ye Chen mock him.

...

The ninth level of the Black Spirit Tower.

The tenth stage of the main peak’s assessment.

Wen Jiu ascended step by step, and upon reaching the ninth level, he was met with a series of huge stone steles.

The steles were covered with pale golden text, emitting a unique and unsettling aura, as if a late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator were calmly standing in front of you, while you gazed up at him.

In front of the steles, Wang Xianzhi, Du Feng, and other eight top-grade single-attribute Spirit Root individuals stood there, along with two middle-grade Spirit Root disciples. Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised by the middle-grade Spirit Root disciples reaching this point.

Because cultivation sometimes requires talent, and Spirit Roots can only somewhat determine one’s cultivation speed and the upper limit of one’s cultivation realm.

When Wen Jiu arrived, only a few people looked back at him; others were fully focused on the golden text on the steles. Once the rules were communicated via Divine Sense Communication, Wen Jiu understood their concentration.

Three days to learn a technique from the steles.

The trial tested comprehension and cultivation technique talent.

”No wonder the completion of this stage leads to the elders’ favor and being accepted as an elder’s direct disciple.”

Learning a technique in three days.

The required comprehension and talent were not simple.

Cultivators who could achieve this, even those with only middle-grade Spirit Roots, were destined for extraordinary futures. In the Cultivation Realm, Spirit Roots are indeed important, but so are talent and comprehension, which determine one’s strength within the same realm.

If you only have Spirit Roots but lack talent, you’ll remain mediocre within the same realm.

Even if you have an extraordinary technique, it would take you a long time to cultivate it to mastery, to perfection.

”I wonder if there are any Heterodox Techniques.” Wen Jiu wasn’t very confident about normal Qi Cultivation Techniques.

If given more time, he could slowly accumulate experience through his daily settlement panel, achieving small success, then great success.

But in three days, who knows if the daily settlement panel would be effective.

Wen Jiu immediately walked towards the steles, examining them one by one. As expected, they were mostly Qi Cultivation Techniques. But Wen Jiu noticed something peculiar because he hadn’t heard of most of these techniques.

True Spirit Technique.

Godslaying Technique.

Summoning Technique.

Such names, not only unfamiliar, but even a casual glance revealed their complexity. But as Wen Jiu continued to look around, something felt off.

What came before the Godslaying Technique?

Summoning Technique?

Huh?

What came before the Summoning Technique?

”Something’s wrong!”

Wen Jiu suddenly realized that the text on the steles gradually faded from his memory.

Realizing this issue, Wen Jiu took out a Talisman Brush and recorded the text from the stele onto Talisman Paper. However, the recorded text did not disappear; even after waiting a while, it remained.

But when Wen Jiu turned to look at the second stele, both the text on the Talisman Paper and in his mind began to blur.

”What technique is this?”

Wen Jiu was quite amazed, though not surprised, as the existence of the Cultivation Realm for so many years couldn’t mean everyone would cultivate the same old ways. Surely, someone would explore new methods.

At that moment, Du Feng suddenly turned, intending to see who was wandering beside him.

But upon seeing Wen Jiu, Du Feng’s face tightened, and the confident anchor in his heart slightly loosened at this moment.

How did he catch up!

Why?

At the same time, Wang Xianzhi, who was meticulously examining the golden text on the steles, paused, seemingly preparing to start cultivating.

Seeing Wen Jiu recording, he explained, ”Don’t bother trying, once you look at the second stele, the text from the first cannot be retained in any form... Clearly, the techniques on these steles are exclusive secrets of the Black Spirit Tower, so we’re allowed to learn only one.”

”Thank you.”

Wen Jiu replied.

He also eyed Wang Xianzhi with curiosity.

He was curious, what kind of backing did this guy have?

But Wang Xianzhi didn’t look at him again, instead sitting cross-legged on the ground to start cultivating the technique. Following him, the others also sat down.

Du Feng glanced at Wen Jiu twice more, thinking to himself: This must be his limit, I can definitely surpass him!

After mentally encouraging himself, Du Feng also sat down to start cultivating, not wanting to fall behind.

Wen Jiu, however, continued wandering around, wanting to see if there were any Heterodox Techniques. This time, Wen Jiu didn’t record anything but marked a line on the Talisman Paper if he found a Heterodox Technique. After circling around, he had three marks on the Talisman Paper.
