Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 632: Chapter 311: Demon Realm Ideals and Seeking a New Place

”Trying to hide Li Bai, secretly nurture him, and further advance the Lu Family? What a pity, you are far too greedy.”

Lu Changyin’s expression revealed a vicious glint.

”That Li Bai can refine the True Spirit Demon Tree, posing the greatest threat to turning the West Mountain Floating Domain into the Demon Realm, so he must die!”

Lu Changyin immediately took out the Communication Stone, preparing to transmit a secret message, but the next moment, he suddenly felt his Divine Soul turn cold, as if he had fallen into an endless ice cave. Before he could react, a powerful Divine Soul Power descended upon him, holding him firmly, rendering even the slightest movement impossible.

It was Li Bai!

These three words instantly popped into Lu Changyin’s mind.

This person already knew he was here, and had silently approached from behind.

”No...”

Lu Changyin screamed hysterically in his heart, yet his mouth made no sound.

In the next moment.

Suddenly, his view changed.

A voice sounded by his ear, ”Indeed, if you want no one to know, unless you do nothing yourself.”

The voice came from Wen Jiu.

Just yesterday, after feeling the divination of the Fate Technique, Wen Jiu urgently recalled the East Spring Undying Bone and the Five Ghosts back to the Cold Pond. The sudden divination from the Soul Cultivator of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect was unreasonable, so Wen Jiu suspected it was probably related to the Qi Family affairs. Using the Corpse Fate Technique to divine Lu Changyin, it turned out just as expected.

When Lu Changyin disguised as a Ghost Cultivator approached eight thousand miles from the Cold Pond Mist Valley, the East Spring Undying Bone had already detected him.

”It seems that the main body can’t stay in the Cold Pond Mist Valley anymore.” Wen Jiu spoke inwardly, beginning to ponder where to go.

Cultivating the Blood Corpse Mushroom and planting the Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine could be handed over to the Blood Demon Undying Bone or the Formless Demon Corpse. The Cyan Wheat Three Techniques for increasing the growth rate of Blood Corpse Mushroom could be directly executed by the Blood Demon Undying Bone, as could other techniques, so staying in the Cold Pond Mist Valley indeed wasn’t necessary.

Setting aside his thoughts, Wen Jiu controlled the Five Ghosts to manifest, leisurely opening the Flawless Soul-Stealing Gaze, which fell on Lu Changyin’s Divine Soul.

But to Wen Jiu’s surprise, Lu Changyin showed no fear; instead, there was intense resentment.

That resentment wasn’t a complaint against death.

Rather, it was a cry against unfulfilled wishes and the unfairness of fate.

”Interesting.”

Wen Jiu curiously looked at Lu Changyin for a moment.

A moment later, the resentment in Lu Changyin’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by respect towards Wen Jiu, similar to when Lin Jianxia and Li Yan were controlled by the Five Ghosts. Of course, like Lin Jianxia, as soon as Lu Changyin harbored any murderous intent towards Wen Jiu, it was instantly extinguished.

Any negative emotions or thoughts towards Wen Jiu were instantly replaced by genuine thoughts of respect, admiration, and loyalty; even the smile at the corner of his mouth unconsciously became flattering.

Before completely transforming into the shape of a servant, Lu Changyin was utterly shocked in his heart—what kind of demonic technique was this?

”Master.”

Lu Changyin spoke respectfully.

Wen Jiu nodded, ”Before you came, how much of the situation here did you divulge to the Dark Altar Lineage of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect?”

”I didn’t say much, just mentioned that Qi Qiansha might have already died due to external reinforcements brought by the Qi Family people.”

”Did you mention Li Bai?”

”I didn’t dare to mention it before confirming, because right now, the Celestial Yin Mountain Range is full of people from the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion.”

”Yet you still came.”

”I came to confirm and eliminate the hidden threat that hinders the transformation of the West Mountain Floating Domain into the Demon Realm, regardless of whether I survive. In my life, I do not seek fame or longevity; I only wish to create a world for all beings free from the constraints of the Spirit Root and limitations of Spiritual Qi. The Demon Realm is such a world, where even without a Spirit Root, one can cultivate. That kind of world is the true Cultivation Realm.”

Lu Changyin’s gaze was firm.

”I understand why you are so resentful now.” Wen Jiu chuckled, but he had to admit that Lu Changyin was remarkably insane, no wonder he, despite being a Golden Core, wanted nothing, focusing solely on the True Spirit Demon Tree setup for the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

Suddenly, Lu Changyin knelt on one knee, ”I was ignorant, daring to oppose you, the fault is mine!”

”Alright, stand up.”

Wen Jiu raised his hand.

”Yes!”

Lu Changyin stood.

Wen Jiu did not ask Lu Changyin more questions, although he was quite concerned about the True Spirit Demon Tree, as it was the sole channel for the free Undying Corpse Demon, and its corpse nurturing effect was exceptionally horrifying. But the Demon Sect entrusted the matter of the True Spirit Demon Tree to Lu Changyin, which surely involves many restrictions. As for directly soul-stealing Lu Changyin, it would not be a wise move.

If Lu Changyin died, it would confirm that the Lu Family had experts, and the Dark Altar Lineage of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect might be like Lu Changyin, rather killing wrongly than letting go, willing to pay any price to kill him.

After all, he was the only Cultivator capable of devouring the True Spirit Demon Tree.

”After leaving the Cold Pond Mist Valley, just do whatever you need to do. If there’s anything, you can transmit a secret message to me with this.” Wen Jiu handed over a Communication Stone. Since he couldn’t kill Lu Changyin, he decided to make Lu Changyin his pawn, to constantly learn about the situation of the Dark Altar Lineage of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

He also had a great desire for that True Spirit Demon Tree.

If he could devour another one, countless Tier Three Blood Corpse Mushrooms and much Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine could be saved. Previously, devouring one provided fifty thousand Corpse Nurturing Experiences, while Undying Corpse Demon gave ten thousand experiences.

Although the Corpse Nurturing Experience had been somewhat weakened, the evolution experience of the Undying Corpse Demon’s bloodline surely wouldn’t be reduced.

”Yes, Master.” Lu Changyin nodded but didn’t leave immediately, instead speaking again, ”Master, there are two things I need to report to you. Ever since you devoured the True Spirit Demon Tree last, the Dark Altar Lineage began to strictly control various sub-altars, placing numerous Killing Arrays surrounding the True Spirit Demon Tree, reportedly even including Yin Arrays capable of suppressing late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.”

”I guessed that.”

Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised.

If the Dark Altar Lineage didn’t do anything, that would indeed be strange.

Wen Jiu asked again, ”What’s the other thing?”

”Another matter concerns the two top-grade Golden Core Cultivators recently appearing in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. From the Cyan Demon Lineage, it’s said that the Celestial Yin Qi in the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, long accumulated over millennia, suddenly became depleted, and the Domain Lord’s Mansion suspects that someone formed the legendary Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core. This information has already reached the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, and it’s feared that they will focus on the West Mountain Floating Domain, possibly sending numerous Demon Cultivators there.”

Upon Lu Changyin’s words, Wen Jiu was similarly unsurprised, expecting this day would come, considering it involved the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core. What he didn’t anticipate was the deep infiltration of the Cyan Demon Lineage.

According to Lu Chan, the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range had been sealed off by the Spirit Suppressing Army, barring entry to anyone not from the Domain Lord’s Mansion and not possessing a Golden Core.

For Cultivators from the Cyan Demon Lineage to obtain this information, they must hold significant status within the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion.

”Seems like I need to quickly find another refuge.” Wen Jiu murmured to himself, knowing that as long as his main body moved away from the West, he would have no further worries. Once the Corpse Fate Technique was perfected, he could regularly divine fortunes and misfortunes, allowing the East Spring Undying Bone and others to withdraw anytime.

But where to go, that’s a question.

The East of the West Mountain Floating Domain?

The South?

The North?

This movement not only was about finding a refuge but also planning for corpse nurturing, ghost cultivation, and other practices.

”Any other intelligence?” Wen Jiu asked again.

Lu Changyin shook his head, ”Not about the West Mountain Floating Domain, but it’s worth mentioning the Divine Fall Mountain Range outside the Hundred Floating Domains. Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch’s legacy has appeared in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, leading to clashes between the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect and the Spirit Suppressing Army. The war might soon spread to the West Mountain Floating Domain’s western region. Since it involves the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch’s legacy, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, to prevent the Domain Lord’s Mansion from reinforcing the Divine Fall Mountain Range, will certainly try to cut off the route from the West Mountain Floating Domain to the Divine Fall Mountain Range. For your safety, I’m afraid the Celestial Yin Mountain Range is not a place to linger; you should plan ahead.”

”Do you have any good destinations?”

Wen Jiu asked with intention.

For Lu Changyin, being a Carefree Zhenren, must have visited more places than all the people Wen Jiu had soul-controlled combined.
