Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 574: Chapter 290: Reentering the Grotto Heaven

Borrowing the Formless Demon Corpse to listen to the conversation between the two, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for the hypocritical temperament of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Ancestor.

Revenge?

Wen Jiu believed that if there was a way to recreate an External Foundation Establishment item, even at the cost of all the remaining Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Disciples, he would willingly slaughter the rest of them.

If Qu Wuyi continued to follow him, more often than not, he would likely end up dead, possibly at Wen Jiu’s own hands.

This old hypocrite, so timid outwardly yet brutal inwardly, could still be revered as an ancestor by the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks; it’s truly absurd.

Soon.

With Yi Nian Guan Shan leading him, Qu Wuyi entered the True Spirit Divine Demon Array. Upon witnessing the two enter the array, Wen Jiu no longer had the Formless Demon Corpse follow but returned to the Grotto Heaven to control the East Spring Undying Bone.

Once the Three Life Gates succeed in breaking the array, they would join forces with the East Spring Undying Bone to infiltrate East Heaven and capture Yi Nian Guan Shan’s soul.

Now, Wen Jiu was very curious about what the second half of the Yinzhou Heterodox Record contained.

Of course.

Wen Jiu was most concerned about the part involving the transformation of the External Golden Core into an External Nascent Soul.

The Golden Core was already within reach, and he was confident in forming the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core. As for the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit, the Heterodox Dao couldn’t break through this barrier ten thousand years ago, but over the millennia, more than one Heterodox Dao Nascent Soul had emerged, making the section on forming a Nascent Soul from a Golden Core no longer particularly important. The crucial part now was transforming an External Golden Core into a Nascent Soul.

This was an experience none of the Heterodox Dao Nascent Souls possessed, only glimpsed in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record’s volumes.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the significance of the External Nascent Soul to him far outweighed the Heaven-Reaching Outer Dao Nascent Soul Fruit. Because an external object can accomplish so much, allowing him to avoid cause and effect, evade all troubles, while he could sit safely at home, steadily advancing.

Put simply, it meant having multiple lives.

...

Gradually, losing the support of Yi Nian Guan Shan and Qu Wuyi, the Sect Protection Array, relying solely on a group of ordinary Qi Cultivation disciples, a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Bao Tiangai, began to show cracks, struggling to hold on.

Even if it could last another hour or two, it would be the limit.

Seeing the imminent breakthrough, Di Shenhan suddenly spoke, ”Master Du, could we collaborate once more? Fellow Daoist, assist us in subduing Yi Nian Guan Shan, and we can split the centuries-old foundations of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks fifty-fifty. The value of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks’ millennium legacy is not low, allowing you to make another substantial profit.”

Previously, he didn’t have the confidence to say such words, but with the Sect Protection Array on the verge of breaking, Yi Nian Guan Shan and Qu Wuyi having already fled, the collapse of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks was inevitable, giving Di Shenhan the confidence to propose this.

Of course, this move was also to prevent Master Du from suddenly collaborating with Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks again. Who knows what price Yi Nian Guan Shan might offer when cornered?

Moreover, using Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks’ assets to enlist Master Du’s help mitigated a lot of risks; why not?

Wen Jiu, hearing this, couldn’t help but feel pleased, ”If you put it that way, I agree without hesitation.”

Anyway, he intended to kill Yi Nian Guan Shan regardless.

Now that someone was paying him to help, he was more than willing.

After East Spring Undying Bone nodded, Di Shenhan was delighted, ”Master Du, rest assured, within a fortnight, we will inventory everything and deliver it, along with the previous Spirit Stones, to the Little Demon Realm without delay.”

Wen Jiu had the East Spring Undying Bone nod again.

With these words.

Di Shenhan put his mind at ease, continuing to fiercely assault the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks’ Sect Protection Array. As time ticked by, the cracks in the array grew larger. Finally, with a loud crash, the Sect Protection Array of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks shattered.

Boom—

The array broke.

Bao Tiangai was knocked back a hundred feet before regaining his footing, an internal injury caused by the array breaking forced him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

”Escape as many as you can, I’ll cover you!” Bao Tiangai shouted angrily at the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Disciples behind him, wielding a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, he unhesitatingly charged at Di Shenhan and the others, not forgetting to add, ”Don’t forget to erect an unnamed tombstone for me in a place where flowers bloom in spring.”

With those words.

Bao Tiangai charged straight at Di Shenhan, but Mo Palace’s three members struck first, having already rushed over.

Three against one, Bao Tiangai was immediately at a disadvantage.

”Sect Leader!”

”Sect Leader!”

Many sect Foundation Establishments, inspired by Bao Tiangai, rushed forward without hesitation.

But more fled in panic, speeding away in the opposite direction of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Nothing more than that.

Di Shenhan ignored the fleeing Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Disciples. With the Divine Fall Mountain Range at their feet, they couldn’t leave via the Traceless Mountain Range, so where could they escape to?

Moreover, the immediate priority was to find Yi Nian Guan Shan.

That old relic, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, had to be eliminated for any peace of mind.

However, upon entering Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, Di Shenhan immediately extended his Divine Sense over the entire area but couldn’t detect any trace of Yi Nian Guan Shan. Even using ghostly creatures to track Yi Nian Guan Shan’s aura proved futile.

After combing through the entire Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks three or five times with his Divine Sense, Di Shenhan urgently spoke, ”Fellow Daoist San Yuan, can you divine Yi Nian Guan Shan’s whereabouts? We absolutely cannot let that old man escape.”

Yin Yang San Yuan held the Life Plate, frowning and shaking his head, ”No way. Yi Nian Guan Shan possesses an artifact that blocks celestial secrets. However, the Gu Insects I placed outside Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks showed no anomalies, confirming that Yi Nian Guan Shan definitely hasn’t left Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks; he’s likely within the Grotto Heaven of Celestial Sword Peak.”
