Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 711: Chapter 345: Ghost Cultivation Effect, Qi Guang’s Protection

The more he knew, the quicker Wen Jiu understood that once the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse was completely refined, he should leave immediately without lingering. However, Qi Guang Sect and the Lu Family would inevitably be implicated in the future.

But there is no perfect solution in this world. If he wants to avoid implicating Qi Guang Sect and the Lu Family, he can only give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accelerate the transformation of Three Corpses into a Corpse Demon.

Fortunately, he follows the Heterodox Dao, so striving for perfection is not something he should consider.

Future matters.

They can be discussed later.

After closing the daily settlement panel, Wen Jiu continued to try to load the origin of Extreme Resentful Corpse onto the bloodline of the Five Yin Ghosts. But to Wen Jiu’s surprise, when the next day’s settlement arrived, the cultivation effect of using the origin of the Extreme Resentful Corpse on the Five Ghosts was astonishingly good, reaching an unimaginable level.

A thousand Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpses could only provide ten points of bloodline experience for the East Spring Undying Bone, but for the Five Yin Ghosts, the fortuitous opportunity from the thousand Soul-Sealing Corpse could truly bring a hundred-point increase.

”It shouldn’t be that the effect of ghost cultivation is stronger than corpse nourishing, but rather that the Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend bloodline of the Five Yin Ghosts is much inferior to the Undying Corpse Demon; otherwise, this result wouldn’t be possible.”

Wen Jiu fell into contemplation. He remembered that Ghost Fiend was mentioned in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record: if an external incarnation is a ghost, then Ghost Fiend is one of the necessary conditions to become an External Nascent Soul.

Although Ghost Fiend and Corpse Demon are on the same level, both are beings capable of bearing the bad karma gained from violating the rules of heaven and earth, the Yinzhou Heterodox Record mentioned that, unlike the East Spring Undying Bone, once a transformation into Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend happens, the Dao Fruit of External Nascent Soul becomes easily attainable.

Of course.

Not all statements in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record are truths, as it merely explores unknown realms.

Nor is there a Nascent Soul Scroll.

”Yet it is very certain that the Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend is weaker than the Undying Corpse Demon. Currently, I don’t have any solutions. Seeking a method is likely troublesome, as the path to an External Nascent Soul is a completely new route that no one has walked before... The only solution might rely on the daily settlement panel.”

Wen Jiu opened the daily settlement panel, carefully examining the bloodline enhancement information of the Five Yin Ghosts.

[Bloodline: East Spring Ghost King (501/100000) — Evolution Direction: Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend]

”Perhaps enhancing the Five Ghosts’ bloodline using the Thousand-Year Origin of Extreme Resentful Corpse can change the process, especially when the Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine has determined the evolution direction of Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend bloodline.”

Wen Jiu harbored expectations that if it couldn’t be achieved, then evolution down the path of Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend would be the only option.

Whether or not he can achieve an External Nascent Soul depends solely on fortune.

”Regardless, the effect of the Thousand-Year Origin of Extreme Resentful Corpse on enhancing the Five Ghosts’ bloodline is undeniably significant.” At this moment, Wen Jiu almost entertained the notion of cultivating the Five Ghosts first, before the East Spring Undying Bone.

But after careful consideration, Wen Jiu decided to hold off for now, as the Five Ghosts were only at the Tier Three Lower Realm.

Even if their bloodline is enhanced, how impactful is it to kill enemies beyond their realm, or even confront Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators?

The limit still does not exceed the current state of the East Spring Undying Bone, so the East Spring Undying Bone must be prioritized for cultivation.

”Once the East Spring Undying Bone’s bloodline transformation is complete, the second position can be given to the Five Ghosts, especially since their Flawless Soul-Stealing Gaze is indeed useful to me, allowing me to fully trust those I employ.” Wen Jiu closed the daily settlement panel again but didn’t continue refining the Evil Corpse because a decision had to be made regarding Qi Guang Sect.

...

In the Lake Bottom Grotto Heaven.

At the entrance of the grotto heaven, multiple Tier Three Arrays had been erected, covering the entrance and surrounding area for more than ten miles. Around the entrance, defensive and killing arrays were laid simultaneously, impenetrable in attack and defense. Hanging above the entrance was a hundred-foot ancient bronze giant sword formed by a Tier Three Middle Grade Killing Array; its sword intent poured down like the blazing sun, while the ancient bronze giant sword seemed ready to fall at any moment, submerging this grotto heaven entirely beneath the lake.

Around the array, Red Fire Zhenren, Pei Wuxing, and five or six Golden Cores stood ready, not daring to be distracted. But at this moment, they were more concerned about the words of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor.

Yesterday, Lin Hai returned, bringing news that the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor was contemplating. Of course, he mentioned nothing about the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven. Neither Red Fire Zhenren nor the others asked further since everyone knew that Lin Hai was the most trusted person of the ancestor and the most loyal to Qi Guang Sect. Precisely due to this trust, they had followed tightly.

Nevertheless, Lin Hai informed everyone about the potential need to offer up the treasury.

Red Fire Zhenren was quite puzzled, ”Old Hai, we’ve given the hidden technique, and offered things from the grotto heaven; why still the treasury? The treasury is essential for maintaining Qi Guang Sect fundamentally.

Without Spirit Stones, how can we battle? Surely the disciples can’t use their bodies to bear the enemy’s techniques and talismans? Arrays are indispensable, as are talismans. If we献上the treasury...”

Lin Hai interrupted Red Fire Zhenren, ”There’s no alternative; the things from the grotto heaven, you and I entered at the risk of nine deaths and barely survived, even the ancestor was not spared. The curses and accumulated resentment for thousands of years will halt your path if you’re eroded for a moment, so the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor is weighing the benefits versus harms. If the harms outweigh the benefits, it would mean abandoning the plan, leading us to offer up the treasury... because Qi Guang Sect’s hidden technique holds value only for the Lu Family but is likely of little use to the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor.”

”Great Elder, if offering the treasury gains the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s protection, but the Longteng Family refuses to relent, we might struggle to withstand.” A Golden Core Elder of the Qi Guang Sect spoke heavily.
