Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Once the restriction is lifted, demon beasts will enter the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein, clashing with the native demons and monsters there. That will be the best time for Human Race cultivators to enter.

”We’ve arrived.”

Feng Jue suddenly spoke.

Following Feng Jue’s gaze, a massive abyssal pit appeared in the dense forest. As the Divine Sense probed a hundred zhang down, the sound of a surging undercurrent was heard. A tremendously rapid river wildly coursed underground, constantly rushing as if to plunge into the abyss of hell.

”In one day, following the current, we can reach the bottom of the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein. But the waters are filled with demon beasts and monsters. Fellow Daoist, be cautious. Though they are all Tier One Water Demons, the numbers are vast.”

Hearing this, Wen Jiu’s expression tightened, but a hint of joy arose within him.

It was worthwhile coming here!

With that said,

Feng Jue was the first to plunge into the undercurrent.

Wen Jiu followed closely, taking out the Three Evil Flying Corpses for protection.

As soon as Wen Jiu entered the undercurrent, he was swiftly carried forward by it. Though surrounded by a Yin Technique that kept him steady against the tumultuous flow, a multitude of Fish Demons surged towards him as he entered the dark stream.

Tier One Lower.

They were even weaker than First-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivators.

But their numbers were overwhelming.

Resembling both fish and snakes, even Wen Jiu with his Hidden God Technique couldn’t avoid their onslaughts.

Fortunately, he needed no assistance from the Three Evil Flying Corpses to kill them. The corpse aura surrounding him was enough to cause them to crash into it and die. Wen Jiu used the Corpse Eye to continually collect the Fish Demon corpses, amassing thousands within just half an hour.

As time slowly passed, Wen Jiu continued to drift down the current. The types of demon beasts attacking him became increasingly diverse, with their strength gradually rising, though their numbers waned.

After two hours, Wen Jiu had only collected over a hundred Tier One Middle Water Demons and a scant seven or eight Tier One Superior Water Demons. But if he refined them into Corpse Blood, it would yield around four to five thousand jin.

In terms of experience, it only amounted to two or three hundred.

But it was better than nothing.

This time it’s two to three hundred, next time two to three hundred, gradually accumulating to a thousand. After reaching a thousand, how far away is ten thousand?

The perfection of the Blood Demon Flying Corpse is just around the corner!

At that moment, Wen Jiu suddenly felt himself plummeting straight down, carried by the current deep into the earth.

A moment later, Feng Jue transmitted a message and was the first to dash out of the stream, ”Fellow Daoist, prepare to dash out.”

Wen Jiu did the same, darting out of the undercurrent into a chilling, dark underground world. His Divine Sense scanned around, revealing an endless stretch void of any obstruction, only a faintly flowing Yin force.

Wen Jiu then directed his Divine Sense upwards, finding no trace of the surface. This signified he was at least a hundred li below ground, though it seemed much deeper, possibly several or even a dozen times more.

”The geological structure of the Cultivation Realm is truly astounding,” Wen Jiu thought to himself, then followed closely behind Feng Jue as they flew forward.

Darkness is inconsequential to Foundation Establishment cultivators, so they advanced effortlessly.

After intermittently flying forward for one or two hours, Feng Jue brought Wen Jiu to another undercurrent. This one, unlike before, seemed utterly motionless.

It lay there silently.

”Fellow Daoist Han, following this river will lead to a place Wusheng’s Three Life Gates call the Celestial Extremity Yin Water Realm. Keep progressing to reach beneath the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein. Once the restriction is lifted, we can enter directly into the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein.

We only need to set up the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array, and by then, we can lay in wait, capturing the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks cultivators all in one go. You may take several Foundation Establishment cultivators’ corpses for your own means towards External Foundation Establishment!”

Feng Jue looked eagerly at the still undercurrent, retrieving a Tier Two Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact in pearl form, activating it.

At the same time, Wen Jiu also prepared to employ the Blood Corpse Escape, ready to flee at any sign of trouble.

He trusted Feng Jue.

But not entirely.

Fortunately, Feng Jue showed no signs of betrayal. Upon activating the artifact, a transparent protective bubble enveloped them both. Under Feng Jue’s guidance, they plunged into the undercurrent, rushing forward swiftly.

In a short moment, they began descending once more, eventually sinking into a vast silky-gray ocean.

From a glance,

it seemed boundless.

Though their Divine Sense probed, no edge could be found.

Yet the sensation of extreme cold and yin was tangible, and even within the artifact, Wen Jiu could feel a hint of chill. At that moment, talismanic patterns around the artifact started swiftly rotating, appearing to resist the erosion of the Celestial Extremity Yin Water.

When Wen Jiu turned his head, he saw Feng Jue exerting himself fully, using the artifact to fend off the extreme cold and yin erosion without any laxness, his face filled with severity.

”Fellow Daoist Shan and I both underestimated this Celestial Extremity Yin Water!” Feng Jue gravely remarked, but upon seeing Wen Jiu unaffected, his expression shifted, ”Fellow Daoist Han’s Body Cultivation Technique is evidently extraordinary.”

Now it was evident Han Li was even more remarkable than anticipated, and the secrets he bore were significant.

What a pity,

He was destined not to tread the path of the Corpse Nurturer.

Otherwise, he truly would have wanted to...

Wen Jiu didn’t respond, kept calm, ”If Fellow Daoist needs assistance, a single Tier Two Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine will suffice.”

Feng Jue promptly replied, ”I can manage!”

”If you can’t, call for me.” Wen Jiu faced Feng Jue, extending his Divine Sense to carefully sense the Celestial Extremity Yin Water.

Extreme cold and yin.

Could it be used for corpse nurturing?

However, Wen Jiu dared not let the Three Evil Flying Corpses enter the water, nor rashly expose the Corpse Eye to absorb the Yin Water, as, despite his resistance, caution was imperative.

Shortly, Feng Jue consumed several Tier One Supreme-grade Elixirs and then eagerly said, ”Fellow Daoist, if I share all I know about the Celestial Extremity Yin Water, might you assist me against its extreme cold and yin erosion?”

He felt his meridians nearly overtaken by the extreme cold and yin force, beyond the protective capacity of his artifact or magical power. Seeking Han Li’s help seemed urgent, else who knew what could ensue.

”Certainly.” Wen Jiu saw no reason to refuse, for if Feng Jue were compromised, he’d face trouble too.

Instantly, the corpse aura of the Three Evil Flying Corpses enveloped Feng Jue, absorbing the cold and yin force around him. Although it couldn’t absorb everything, it alleviated five to six-tenths of the erosion.

Seeing the erosion abated, and his artifact successfully defending, Feng Jue was overjoyed and explained, ”The Celestial Extremity Yin Water is related to demons, though not True Demons but Demon Cultivators practicing the True Demon Technique... Actually, the entire Celestial Extinction Ruins relates to Demon Cultivators.

Thus, Fellow Daoist can perceive the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein as a demon-nurturing ground. However, the demons and monsters it cultivates can’t leave it; once the ruins close, they remain sequestered for a hundred years, awaiting the next opening.

For instance, a type of demon Fellow Daoist might know of is the True Spirit Demon Race!”

”True Spirit Demon Race?” Wen Jiu was immediately puzzled.

What does this have to do with the True Spirit Demon Race?

Feng Jue, feeling the diminishing strength of cold and yin within him, explained with relief, ”This is because the True Spirit Demon Race from Deadman Peak was nurtured by the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein, but they escaped eight hundred years ago, nearly decimating the Far West, leading to Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks subduing them beneath Deadman Peak.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu’s expression remained unchanged, but internally he felt both shocked and delighted, promptly asking, ”So, in the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein or the Celestial Extinction Ruins, could there be demons comparable to the True Spirit Demon Race?”

Feng Jue nodded, ”Fellow Daoist’s point is exact; indeed, such demons exist, and significantly, their numbers may be substantial, potentially extending to Tier Two. That is why, even offering Tier Two Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, I sought Fellow Daoist’s aid.

Among us, only your Escape Technique allows mobility within the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein.”

Wen Jiu simply looked at the Celestial Extremity Yin Water, thinking silently, ”Does that mean this Yin Water could nurture demons?”

He planned to experiment later, without Feng Jue’s knowledge, for who knew what intentions Feng Jue might harbor.

Once again,

Feng Jue could be trusted.

But not fully.
