Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 706: Chapter 342: Farewell to Pei Wuxing, Continuous Divination

Pei Wuxing’s expression remained unchanged, as if he had long expected such a day and already accepted the outcome.

Ever since the journey to the West Mountain Floating Domain via the Heaven-Reaching River, where his junior sister and Daoist Wei, among others, perished at the hands of Demon Cultivators and his own Golden Core was damaged and his lifespan diminished, having learned from Lin Hai and Red Fire Zhenren that there was no other way, he had already prepared for the arrival of death.

...

After flying a thousand miles into the Grotto Heaven, Lin Hai stopped beside a lake within the Grotto Heaven. The lake was calm, with only a thin layer of Spiritual Qi, looking no different from the lakes seen along the way.

The Divine Sense of East Spring Undying Bone probed in, yet could not sense anything, but Lin Hai directly pointed to the bottom of the lake.

”A Secret Realm Cave Heaven within a Grotto Heaven again, if naturally formed, is almost impossible; it’s highly likely the handiwork of an existence beyond the Golden Core,” Lin Hai exclaimed in awe after a careful examination.

Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone and with a wave of corpse energy protected Lin Hai, ”You may begin.”

Lin Hai nodded, clasping his hands into a spell, and chanting incantations, at this moment, his Divine Soul clashed within his body, transforming into something tangible.

But unexpectedly, when the Divine Soul plunged into the lakebed, the originally calm lakebed suddenly gushed out a large amount of Yin Evil Qi, polluting the lake, uncontrollably spreading out, corroding everything, causing the Spirit Fish to die instantly, the flowers, birds, insects, and fish decayed in an instant.

Within moments, the area of a thousand feet became a Spiritless Death Land. Because the Yin Evil Qi was still expanding, the Spiritless Death Land continued to extend, even though the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi resisted, it couldn’t stop its progress.

Lin Hai’s face tensed, hurriedly stepped closer to East Spring Undying Bone, only relaxing when he saw that the Yin Evil Qi couldn’t advance an inch upon touching the corpse energy.

”Continue.”

After reminding, Wen Jiu carefully studied the Yin Evil Qi, which, though pouring out, remained Yin Evil Qi, not transformed into Evil Spirits as Lin Hai suggested.

But this Yin Evil Qi was quite sinister, capable of transforming the world into a Spiritless Death Land like Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi; unfortunately, it was just Spiritless Death Land.

It was not Absolute Spirit.

While it eroded and corroded the world, it relied on its own ceaseless destruction rather than devouring. Destruction has a limit, when the Yin Evil Qi is exhausted, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would retaliate, causing the Spiritless Death Land to fade into oblivion. However, the Land of Absolute Spirit is different, as it consumes, annihilates, even alters the heavens and earth, making it so that a Land of Absolute Spirit formed by Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi might not recover for millennia. Understanding this, Wen Jiu attempted using Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi for devouring and felt relieved upon finding it effective.

However, to be safe, Wen Jiu still controlled the Three Thousand Blood Inks to perform divination, and seeing that Zhongji remained unchanged, he fully relaxed. Before long, the lakebed gradually dried up, the entrance to the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven gradually emerged, yet Wen Jiu saw no Array or restriction.

Only a cracked, dark, deep rift in the black curtain, under the resonance of that object within Lin Hai’s Divine Soul, slowly opened, the entrance to the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven gradually revealed.

It was an unfathomable black hole, dark, without light, yet Divine Sense could probe into it.

But it could only delve a thousand feet.

Notably, after Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone for investigation, joy filled his heart, as the Yin Evil Qi density was overwhelming. Compared to the trickle of Yin Evil Qi seeping from the rift, what gushed out from the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven was like dust to the bright moon, the disparity was terrifying.

At the same time, Wen Jiu understood that the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven was never sealed by Lin Yingyun Mountain, as Lin Yingyun Mountain had neither the capability nor virtue to seal it.

The object in Lin Hai’s Divine Soul was merely a token to open the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven.

In other words,

If a Ghost Cultivator extracted Lin Hai’s soul, it would easily obtain the token to open the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven. Maybe Lin Yingyun Mountain lied about this to prevent such a tactic.

But these all were of no importance.

”You go in first.”

Despite being Zhongji, Wen Jiu would not let East Spring Undying Bone be the first to enter the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven.

Lin Hai’s face turned pale, ”Corpse Ancestor...”

”I will protect you,” Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to answer coldly, with an indisputable tone.

Swallowing hard, Lin Hai’s palms unknowingly sweated, but ultimately, after exhaling deeply, he took the first step towards the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven entrance.

After Lin Hai fully entered without any abnormality, Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to follow. As they stepped in, Yin Evil Qi enveloped, crashing like waves against East Spring Undying Bone’s surrounding corpse energy, becoming more fierce as they progressed.

Once through the black hole, the Yin Evil Qi indeed transformed into Evil Spirits as Lin Hai described, pervasive and pushing against the corpse energy fiercely.

The Evil Spirits, possessing intelligence, quickly targeted Lin Hai once finding East Spring Undying Bone impervious.

Bang—

The tidal wave of Yin Evil Spirits immediately engulfed Lin Hai, causing his face to turn desperately pale. He could clearly feel that, if not for Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s corpse energy barrier, he would have been swallowed in an instant, unable to escape, eventually engulfed, and eroded by the boundless Yin Evil Spirits.

Lin Hai profoundly understood why the ancestor advised that only Heterodox Golden Cores or Late Stage of Golden Core righteous path cultivators could enter.

”Keep moving forward,” Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to convey, advancing amid the wave of Evil Spirits while also controlling the Three Thousand Blood Inks to perform divination with the Corpse Fate Technique.

As expected,

The divination results showed some change.

Minor Auspicious.

Moreover, the Life Plate analysis revealed critical information, a single misstep could lead to continuous mistakes, the auspicious could turn ominous in an instant.

Without hesitation, Wen Jiu immediately halted Lin Hai’s progress, choosing to stay put with Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi for protection when unable to sense beyond a thousand feet.

”Corpse Ancestor, what happened?” Lin Hai hesitantly asked.

Wen Jiu responded, ”Nothing, just don’t move forward.”

”Yes!”

Lin Hai quickly nodded, not daring to take another step forward, covertly alarmed seeing the surrounding corpse energy devouring the wave-like Yin Evil Spirits. This Yin Evil Spirits force could not be resisted by Golden Core Power, Exorcism Talismans proved ineffective; if faced alone, he’d exhaust all his options without lasting long. Yet Lu Family Corpse Ancestor effortlessly fended them off.

What kind of corpse energy is this?

Amidst awe, Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to sit cross-legged, quietly utilizing the Yin Evil Spirits for Corpse Nourishing. Regardless of what lay within, these Yin Evil Spirits at the entrance were far superior to any Corpse Nourishing site Wen Jiu had encountered, at least several times more potent than the Tier Three Yin Veins of Cold Pool Mist Valley or Qi Mountain, perfect for cultivating Blood Corpse Mushrooms or using Ghost-faced Butcher for Ghost Cultivation or Earth Demon Nourishing Law-Devouring Yin Insects.

Unfortunately,

Wen Jiu sensed that these Yin Evil Spirits were not produced by the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven, unlike Spirit Veins supplying endless Qi till exhaustion, the Yin Evil Spirits here, once devoured, would likely never regenerate. Thus, despite the possibility of staying here, it was not a place for prolonged residence at present.

As time passed, several hours slipped by, and when East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense detected a momentarily disorienting, soul-quaking surge of Yin Evil Spirits far beyond a thousand feet, Wen Jiu quickly used the Corpse Fate Technique to divine the outcome.

Minor Ominous!

The Life Plate interpretation indicated an ominous celestial secret: passing Evil Spirits Remnants, devouring souls, entering Rebirth in the Underworld. Beware! Beware! Beware! They lurk in shadow, sensing human presence.

Seeing this omen, Wen Jiu’s expression turned solemn, carefully retracting his Divine Sense, immediately switching from Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi to regular corpse energy, merely shielding against Yin Evil Spirits’ assault.

The intention was to minimize attention while preparing to exit the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven at any moment.

Fortunately, as hours ticked on, peace gradually returned.

A divination with the Corpse Fate Technique once again.

The result was Zhongji!

The Life Plate analysis’s celestial secret revealed evasion of danger, transforming calamity into fortune, becoming Zhongji. Avoid responding to the wails within shadows, and you shall encounter safety, gaining great fortune.
