Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

When he finished speaking, Li Mu suddenly felt irritable beyond measure.

”Senior brother, be careful,” Wen Jiu reminded, then secretly left a Corpse Qi Mark on him.

As for the Side Peak Master who betrayed Deadman Peak, in fact, Wen Jiu also received news from Ping Mountain last night.

Peak Master Chen Jiang of Bamboo Forest Peak, north of Deadman Peak.

He was not originally part of the Celestial Left Alliance.

But he is over eighty years old now.

And has been stuck at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer for forty years.

With the lifespan of a Qi Refining Cultivator, if he doesn’t break through in the next twenty years, he might just await death.

For those who accept their fate, it might not be a big deal, but some don’t accept fate, so they want to make one last fight.

Clearly.

This Chen Jiang belonged to the latter.

If he were the Heaven Left Alliance Leader, one might strongly protect someone suddenly seeking refuge or who has recently joined. Therefore, Senior Brother Li Mu might encounter some trouble on this trip, so Wen Jiu left a Corpse Qi Mark as a precaution.

Better safe than sorry.

Just in case.

If anything happened, he could follow the Corpse Qi Mark, secretly using the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment and Blood Corpse Escape to take him away.

Li Mu nodded, the anger in his eyes still unabated, ”Alright, I’ll take you to see Master first.”

With these words.

Li Mu walked toward the peak’s summit.

Wen Jiu followed closely behind him, ”Thank you, senior brother.”

Before long.

They arrived at Ye Chen’s cave abode.

Purple Flame Ming, sensing Wen Jiu and the others’ arrival, immediately stopped his thunderous snoring, shot up alertly to look at Wen Jiu and the others, and seeing they were acquaintances, lay back down. Three breaths later, the snoring resumed.

”Master.”

”Master.”

Both Wen Jiu and his companion greeted in turn.

Waiting outside.

A hundred breaths later, Ye Chen emerged. His aura was not quite at its peak, evidently worn from days of pursuit, but upon seeing Wen Jiu, a rare smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.

”Not bad. I had been wondering how long it would take you to enter the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, only to receive a pleasant surprise.” Last night, hearing from Li Mu that Wen Jiu’s body and foundation were intact, he was quite excited.

The Yinzhou Heterodox Record has found its successor!

Now it seems that while Wen Jiu’s Spirit Root is lacking, making future Foundation Establishment prospects slim, his Heterodox Talent is indeed extraordinary.

As long as the Yinzhou Heterodox Record is successfully cultivated, he will no doubt become another powerhouse at the level of the senior brother.

His strength at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer could suppress over fifty Late Stage Qi Cultivators from Little Inference Mountain.

With potential for even greater strength.

After all, looking across the whole Far West’s Three Sects and Six Peaks, techniques stronger than the Yinzhou Heterodox Record can be counted on one hand, and none of them are less difficult to cultivate than the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.

”It’s all thanks to you, Master.” Wen Jiu saluted again, ”In the future, when I have learned, I will certainly repay you abundantly.”

”Save your words until you’ve successfully cultivated the Yinzhou Heterodox Record,” Ye Chen said no more, strolling outside.

Wen Jiu followed behind.

Li Mu turned to bid farewell, giving Wen Jiu an encouraging smile and a warm look before he left.

He didn’t seem at all like the iron-faced, ruthless Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall, nor like the dreadsome figure feared by outsiders.

This senior brother seemed more like a congenial neighbor.

Cold outwardly, warm inside; the so-called decisive, cold-hearted nature could well be compelled by his environment and his role as Deputy Hall Master.

After Li Mu left, Wen Jiu continued with Ye Chen, heading straight to the peak, arriving in front of a large hall that was also a magical artifact.

That’s right.

The entire hall was a Magical Artifact.

It was the first time Wen Jiu had seen such a large artifact; with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he could distinctly feel its extraordinary nature.

Tier Two.

Definitely Tier Two!

The guardians at the hall’s exterior were not Deadman Peak disciples but Iron Puppets with auras no less than those of the Body Refining Eighth Layer. Even though Wen Jiu’s true strength had reached the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, walking among them stirred waves in his heart.

Wen Jiu then ascended to the third floor with Ye Chen, opening the door to reveal an immense library treasure trove.

Everywhere the eye could see.

It was all cultivation techniques and magical arts.

And the quality was exceedingly high; any one of them could serve as a Clan-Suppression Technique for a Cultivation Clan outside Deadman Peak.

”This is the accumulation of Deadman Peak over eight hundred years,” Ye Chen explained, moving past the sea of books to further inside.

The deeper they went, the higher the level of the magical arts and cultivation techniques became, with more Late Stage Qi Cultivation arts and techniques appearing.

Wen Jiu finally understood why the entire hall was a Magical Artifact; with such a vast collection, no less than Tier Two artifacts could guard it.

A hundred breaths later.

Ye Chen stopped before a massive black monolith three zhang high, which bore five large characters.

Yinzhou Heterodox Record!

”This is the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, and over the centuries, only three people from Deadman Peak have truly succeeded in cultivating it. Even the Celestial Left Alliance Leader had once stood where you are, but at the time of his betrayal, he hadn’t succeeded in cultivating it.”

Ye Chen spoke slowly, without heavy emphasis or elaborate description, yet Wen Jiu could feel the arduousness of cultivating the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.

But Wen Jiu was undeterred.

With a daily settlement panel.

He’s not afraid of difficulty.

Just afraid of weakness.

Afraid of having nothing.

”Do you know why I’m giving you this after you entered the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation?” Ye Chen asked again.

Wen Jiu shook his head.

Ye Chen explained, ”Because it’s likely that you’ll take ten or twenty years to succeed in cultivating this Yinzhou Heterodox Record; by then, you might coincide with the Peak of Qi Cultivation Middle Stage, and can use this Yinzhou Heterodox Record to step into the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.”

”Is it truly that difficult?”

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but gaze at the monolith.

Every word and phrase caught his eye; at first, they seemed unimpressive and, other than esoteric difficulty, offered only esoteric difficulty. But Wen Jiu wasn’t in a hurry; he simply memorized each word and phrase carefully.

The entire text comprised thirteen thousand three hundred thirty-three characters, laying a foundation for Foundation Establishment, not in the Early Stage.

But in the Late Stage.

”If I can successfully cultivate it, it’ll surely be a one-step journey.” Wen Jiu silently murmured to himself.

As long as he had the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, as long as nothing unexpected happened at Deadman Peak, he could stay in the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak.

After emptying the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, he would head elsewhere.

The Spirit Suppression Department guarded numerous extreme places, perhaps not equal to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, but still capable of providing some cultivation support. Coupled with the daily settlement panel, he could steadily reach the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Jiu had memorized everything, ”Master, I’ve remembered it all.”

”The Yinzhou Heterodox Record was bestowed by Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks; no one dares to steal it, and non-Deadman Peak members dare not cultivate it, but you must remember not to spread it outside,” Ye Chen reminded, a mention of no one daring to cultivate it indicating the weight of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks in the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

”I will remember, Master.”

Wen Jiu nodded.

...

Upon obtaining the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Record, and returning to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, Wen Jiu began both nurturing corpses and delving into the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Record.

Yet it remained as cryptic as ever.

Still, as the old saying goes, read a hundred times, its meaning becomes clear.

If not found.

Then read a thousand times even more.

Thus, he continued studying until midnight, at which point the daily settlement arrived.

As expected, the daily settlement panel directly included the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Record into its daily reckoning.

Earning six points of experience.

[Foundation Establishment Method - Yinzhou Heterodox Record: Beginner (6/5000)]

”As expected of a Foundation Establishment Method, even with a tier two settlement panel, only six points of experience could be gained from six hours.”

After a glance at his experience, Wen Jiu eagerly turned to the description of the Yinzhou Heterodox Record on the daily settlement panel.

[Ten thousand years ago, the strongest Foundation Establishment Method of the Yinzhou Heterodox was created by the elder three corpses of Yinzhou in his twilight years. The Heterodox Dao is difficult, as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Those with exceptional talent may establish a foundation, but in this era, it’s not the time for Heterodox Dao, so the Golden Core is the limit. Advancing beyond this is harder than ascending the heavens. Therefore, the elder three corpses poured his heart and blood into creating the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, granting a chance at External Foundation Establishment for Heterodox Cultivators to strive for beyond the Golden Core.]

[External Foundation Establishment: Cultivators of Ghosts, integrating with ghosts to transform them into Dao Foundations; Corpse Nurturers integrating with zombies to transform zombies into Dao Foundations... One, two, even three, provided that the object used as the Dao Foundation can withstand Thunder Punishment!]

”External Foundation Establishment... able to transform ghosts and zombies into Dao Foundations, or even establish multiple Dao Foundations.”

”This...”

Reading the description of the Yinzhou Corpse Nurturing Record set off stormy waves in Wen Jiu’s heart.
