Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 743: Chapter 355: Nangong Huan Visits Again

For someone as powerful in body cultivation as the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, it’s like adding wings to a tiger. Moreover, the capabilities of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor will surely not be confined to the West Mountain Floating Domain for long. Once he leaves the West Mountain Floating Domain, the deeper he ventures into the lower reaches of the Heaven-Reaching River, the more opportunities and dangers await. The enhancement brought by this object becomes more significant.

If a battle occurs within the same realm, this object is enough for the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor to gain a few advantages before the fight even starts, securing an undefeated position.

”I see, it was my oversight.” Deng Lai quickly bowed and dared not speak further. After leaving Nangong Huan, he immediately sent a message to urge those transporting the Heaven-Reaching Yin Food Seed, while setting off to assist.

...

In the Cold Pool Mist Valley.

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to extract Pei Wuxing’s Golden Core, intending to try nurturing it with the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother.

Despite losing his Golden Core, Pei Wuxing’s realm did not fall, maintaining the Golden Core Realm, because the Golden Core was not removed by force, destroying the veins and body.

Under normal circumstances, Pei Wuxing simply cannot use Golden Core techniques for the time being.

After trying to nurture it with the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother by absorbing Yin Spiritual Qi and Celestial Yin Qi, Wen Jiu found that Pei Wuxing’s Golden Core was indeed recovering at an extremely fast pace, and the demonic qi within it was completely devoured by the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother.

Furthermore, after being nurtured by the Yellow Springs Corpse Mother, Pei Wuxing’s Golden Core Yin techniques became even more refined.

For righteous cultivators, it’s akin to directly becoming a heterodox cultivator, rendering previous cultivation efforts wasted.

Everything has to start anew.

But for genuine heterodox Golden Cores, it’s a rare opportunity, allowing one’s strength to reach another level.

This made Wen Jiu consider trying to nurture his own Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core in it.

Of course.

It’s just a thought.

The Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core would likely produce little effect if nurtured in it, and even if it were effective, it would take a long, long time.

His true body cannot go to the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, nor return to the western West Mountain Floating Domain, so this thought remains just a thought.

Subsequently, Wen Jiu also tried the effects on ghost cultivation and Gu cultivation. By midnight, the combined results were somewhat surprising, three times as effective compared to using Ghost-faced Butcher and Earth Demon.

The effect on corpse nourishing was even better, reaching more than five times the daily effect. Instead, the Yin Spiritual Qi and Celestial Yin Qi of the Cold Pool Mist Valley seemed to hold it back, otherwise the daily nurturing effect would be even greater.

”In this way, the Ghost-faced Butcher and Earth Demon can be discarded.” Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction.

Of course.

The focus isn’t on discarding old items.

It’s about gaining an excellent object for ghost cultivation, corpse nourishing, and Gu cultivation starting today. Supplemented with the accelerated nurturing Blood Corpse Mushroom, future Corpse Concealing Elixirs, and resources for ghost and Gu cultivation, his ”protective means” will rapidly increase, reaching the Tier Three Peak faster.

The following day.

Nangong Huan arrived at the Cold Pool Mist Valley. His courteous visit outside made waves in the hearts of the Lu Family female cultivators preparing to leave.

It also made Feng Jue and Han Tianxing sigh with emotion.

For the Lu Family female cultivators, the Divine General of the Spirit Suppressing Army is as unattainable as the sky, higher than the so-called Qi Guang Sect and Longteng Family’s great cultivators.

In the past, they could only hear of him through others’ conversations, but never expected to see such a great cultivator today, treating the Corpse Ancestor with courtesy and respect.

At this moment.

They felt limitless regret.

Had they been able to stay in the Cold Pool Mist Valley to serve the Ancestor, they’d be willing to pay any price.

Feng Jue couldn’t help but sigh at this moment, while Han Tianxing remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to say. Upon hearing Feng Jue’s lament, he felt helpless inside, thinking that if the youngster knew the so-called Lu Family Corpse Ancestor was merely a possession of Han Li, he wondered how he would react.

In the Little Demon Realm, they were once of the same realm. Currently, Feng Jue is still at the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment, but Han Li’s possession is already at the Late Stage of the Golden Core, soon reaching the realm he had attained in life.

”Fellow Daoist Nangong, how have you been?” As the voice from within the Cold Pool sounded, the figure of the ”Lu Family Corpse Ancestor” appeared above the Cold Pool Mist Valley.

This time, Wen Jiu did not conceal the Late Stage Golden Core cultivation status of the East Spring Undying Bone, because if he continued to present as Middle Stage Golden Core, it would inevitably raise suspicions. Fighting opponents of the same realm is already difficult; defeating those of higher realms is near impossible.

If this reached the Domain Lord’s ears, he would likely be the first to investigate the East Spring Undying Bone in the Cold Pool Mist Valley.

Nangong Huan, sensing the Late Stage cultivation of East Spring Undying Bone, although mentally prepared, couldn’t help but be secretly astonished. In his perception, East Spring Undying Bone’s aura was robust, not like someone new to the Late Stage, but more like an elder cultivator who had cultivated in the Late Stage Golden Core for two or three centuries.

”Fellow Daoist, could I have a word?” The more astonished he was, the more delighted Nangong Huan felt inside.

”Certainly.”

Wen Jiu nodded.

Nangong Huan presented the mountain pavilion scroll once again, making a gesture of invitation but did not enter first.

”Please, Fellow Daoist Lu!”

Without much courtesy, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to enter directly. Upon entering the mountain pavilion scroll once more, Wen Jiu found that this Tier Three Top-Grade Spatial Treasure no longer felt as it initially did, his divine sense could easily pierce through the mountain pavilion scroll.

Currently, East Spring Undying Bone’s divine sense detection range had increased to thirty thousand miles, roughly triple its previous range.

The enhancement was remarkable.

Even for a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator, such divine sense was comparable. Therefore, this Tier Three Top-Grade Spatial Treasure was insignificant before East Spring Undying Bone’s divine sense. The so-called spatial imprisonment capability, even if the mountain pavilion scroll truly absorbed East Spring Undying Bone within, he was confident he could control East Spring Undying Bone to easily escape.

”Fellow Daoist, have a seat.” Upon entering the pavilion, Nangong Huan quickly spoke and with a wave of his hand produced Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Tea prepared in advance. The quality of the tea, even just smelling it, made the divine soul instantly clearer.

The better the tea, the more complex the intentions of Nangong Huan’s visit.

Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to sit down calmly, ”Fellow Daoist doesn’t seem to be like those Golden Core Masters, coming to specifically congratulate me, right?”

”Not at all.” Nangong Huan quickly stopped his admiring thought, ”How could I be as vulgar as those Golden Core Masters? Your victory is only natural. I came today to inform you of some matters.”

”Oh?”

Wen Jiu pretended to be curious.

Nangong Huan took a sip of the spirit tea from his cup, saying solemnly: ”Do you know the current situation in the Divine Fall Mountain Range?”

”The Domain Lord’s Mansion is currently at a disadvantage,” Wen Jiu honestly replied.

Nangong Huan laughed bitterly: ”If only so, it wouldn’t be too bad. It’s already beyond remedy; currently, General Lin Zhuo is like a turtle in a jar, only surviving by retreating into the Secret Realm Cave Heaven.”

”Has the situation really deteriorated to this extent?” Wen Jiu feigned surprise, though inside, he felt no disturbance.

He always thought that Lin Zhuo’s survival itself was a miracle.

Nangong Huan continued: ”And in the Traceless Mountain Range, the Celestial River Guard cannot contend with the Demon Dao’s assault; even if they wish to rescue General Lin, they lack the capability.”

”You probably didn’t come just to tell me these things,” Wen Jiu retorted.

Nangong Huan clarified: ”That’s true, but not entirely. I just want to inform you that the situation will become increasingly difficult. If the Demon Dao plans to invade the West Mountain Floating Domain, we might struggle to resist. In that case, the western West Mountain Floating Domain, the mountains and rivers stretching twenty to thirty thousand miles, might become engulfed in warfare.”

Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone, feigning a grave demeanor, staying silent, merely sipping tea quietly.

He was waiting, waiting for Nangong Huan to continue speaking.

Since Nangong Huan had said so much, it was expected he wanted to position himself not to be too passive. Hence, Wen Jiu listened to Nangong Huan to get informed about the situation in the Divine Fall Mountain Range and West Mountain Floating Domain to better prepare.

After all, some situations could not even be ascertained by Lu Changyin.

”Currently, in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, the Demon Dao runs rampant, not just with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s four veins of demon cultivators, there are already seven or eight upper realm demon pill cultivators, not to mention a dozen or so Demon Sect cultivators. It won’t be long before they no longer confine themselves to the Divine Fall Mountain Range and strike out. Fellow Daoist Lu, you probably need to prepare in advance.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu, although partly expecting it, couldn’t help but marvel at the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s extravagance for the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch’s legacy. Deploying seven or eight upper realm demon pill cultivators, no wonder the Traceless Mountain Range couldn’t hold them off.

With the foundation of the West Mountain Floating Domain, it would probably require the entire resources of the Spirit Suppressing General and Celestial River Guard to match them. But the West Mountain Floating Domain isn’t just this one region; mobilizing the entire foundation is clearly unrealistic.

Following this, Nangong Huan further mentioned, ”If you are considering leaving the West Mountain Floating Domain to avoid disaster by going to the surrounding Golan Floating Domain and Wuling Floating Domain, I’m afraid that idea must also be shelved. The situation there is worse than that of the West Mountain Floating Domain. Take the nearest Golan Floating Domain for example, three-tenths of the land has already been reduced to scorched earth.”
