Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 129: Chapter 88: Changes in the Langhuan Blessed Land and Ten Thousand Demon Abyss

”The Peak Master is not in the Far West, and even if he wanted to return at once, he couldn’t. You continue trying other methods while I think of another plan,” Eastern Celestial City spoke slowly, but his eyes never left the Blood Shield.

The technique he had just used was the Earth-Breaking Technique, a Foundation Establishment level spell, but even that couldn’t shake the Blood Shield.

Thus.

I fear I’ll have to consult the master.

A moment later.

Great Elder Eastern Celestial City departed.

Ye Chen, Xiang Wenlong, and the others stood there, at a loss for what to do, as they had already tried all the methods they could think of.

After further studying the Blood Curse, Xiang Wenlong left the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss with a word, ”Seal off the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, and do not allow anyone to approach, directly imprison them in the Spirit Suppression Department’s dungeon.”

Ye Chen also followed suit and left.

Clearly.

They both went to think of other ways.

Seeing them leave, Wen Jiu tried to control his Yin Spirit to approach the Blood Shield, confirming that someone at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer couldn’t sense the presence of the Yin Spirit, he then attempted to let the Yin Spirit move through the Blood Shield to see if it could pass through.

However.

The answer was no.

But just as Wen Jiu was about to withdraw his Yin Spirit, he discovered the Law-Devouring Yin Insect hidden within the Yin Spirit had started to gnaw on the Blood Shield.

The Law-Devouring Yin Insect within the Yin Spirit wasn’t many, barely a handful, most of it consisted of Yin Techniques. Wen Jiu originally intended to leave some inside for potential sneak attacks on others, but unexpectedly, the Law-Devouring Yin Insect began to gnaw on the Blood Shield.

The Law-Devouring Yin Insect was jubilant.

Rejoicing.

As if a beggar had discovered a mountain of gold.

As parts of the Blood Shield were eaten away, the Law-Devouring Yin Insect began to quickly reproduce, multiplying several times over in just a few breaths.

In merely a hundred breaths, the Law-Devouring Yin Insect gnawed a small hole through it, albeit extremely tiny, so small it was invisible to the naked eye, but sufficient for the Yin Spirit to pass freely through the Blood Shield.

”This...”

Truth be told, Wen Jiu didn’t expect the Law-Devouring Yin Insect to be so domineering, truly devouring any magic without discrimination?

But just when the Yin Spirit penetrated the Blood Shield, a gigantic scarlet Heaven-Reaching Blood Tree appeared in his view, rising from the abyss, releasing the Blood Shield that enveloped the entire abyss.

Upon seeing it, Wen Jiu immediately felt an immensely powerful True Spirit Demon Race aura, a hundred times stronger than what Wen Jiu had sensed before.

Even just staring at this Heaven-Reaching Blood Tree through the Yin Spirit, Wen Jiu could feel its shock and oppressive might.

It even made Wen Jiu feel an indescribable sensation, like an ant at the foot of a mountain.

”What kind of tree is this?”

Wen Jiu murmured to himself, then dispersed the three Yin Spirits to descend further into the abyss, intending to see what was actually going on.

The further down he went, the more intense the True Spirit Demon Race aura became, even though nothing was yet visible, Wen Jiu saw the Heaven-Reaching Blood Tree covered in dark secret text, flickering like fireflies in the dark, radiating an extremely sinister aura.

In front of it, the Three Evil Corpses seemed insignificant.

But at about three hundred meters down, Wen Jiu saw the gnarled, sinister roots of the Heaven-Reaching Blood Tree. They hung in the air, resembling writhing scarlet centipedes, sending shivers down one’s spine at first glance.

There were too many of them.

And beneath these gnarled roots, were demons.

Each standing about ten feet tall, with humanoid forms but lacking eyes, noses, ears, only a mouth.

They were tightly restrained by the gnarled roots, which continuously drained their life force, yet they didn’t seem terrified, rather ceaselessly chanting something, in a low, eerie tone, extremely unsettling.

”What’s going on here?” Wen Jiu watched this scene, feeling a sense of shock.

And a bit of concern.

If this Heaven-Reaching Blood Tree continued to grow, what would happen? It wouldn’t directly break the grand array, would it?

”Oh, come on, I’ve only just arrived...” a cultivational treasure land like the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss wouldn’t be easy to find.

But just as Wen Jiu prepared to let the Yin Spirit continue descending, he suddenly discovered an incoming wave of True Spirit Blood Qi, obliterating one of the Yin Spirits before he had time to react.

Fortunately, the other two Yin Spirits weren’t detected or destroyed, but Wen Jiu didn’t let the remaining two Yin Spirits probe further.

Instead, he withdrew them.

Hiding them atop the Heaven-Reaching Blood Tree.

Because he wasn’t ready to rashly delve deeper, avoiding alerting the enemy further.

It was at this moment that Wen Jiu hesitated whether to inform his master and others about the Yin Spirit entering the Blood Shield.

If he didn’t say anything.

He could only use the Yin Spirit for observations.

And do nothing else.

But if he did speak.

It would inevitably attract the Great Elder’s attention.

Potentially exposing the Law-Devouring Yin Insect within the Yin Spirit.

Once the Law-Devouring Yin Insect is known, it can’t be a trump card anymore, and using it in the future would inevitably be linked to him.

With this thought, Wen Jiu immediately had the Yin Spirit return, examining the hole gnawed by the Law-Devouring Yin Insect.

”It’s still there.”

Wen Jiu was delighted.

This meant there was a way to avoid exposure, simply by retracting the Law-Devouring Yin Insect from within the Yin Spirit back into the body.

With this thought, Wen Jiu promptly headed towards the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, but didn’t approach, instead waiting quietly for Xiang Wenlong and Ye Chen’s return. Meanwhile, he also decided to use this matter to negotiate conditions with his master Ye Chen.

That is, not going to the Langhuan Blessed Land.

This way, it would kill two birds with one stone.

Soon.

Ye Chen arrived in haste.

As if he had found something.

Seeing Wen Jiu, Ye Chen spoke in a deep voice, ”Go back and rest, don’t wander, prepare to depart for the Langhuan Blessed Land in a few days!”

”Master, I saw a tree,” Wen Jiu said respectfully.

Ye Chen was puzzled, ”What are you talking about?”

”I saw a Heaven-Reaching Blood Tree full of black secret text beneath the abyss, and also humanoid True Spirit Demon Race,” Wen Jiu said, stopping Ye Chen’s departing steps abruptly.
