Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 761: Chapter 364: Ultimate Evil Divine Techniques, Celestial Demon Dark Soul

Previously, when the Life Plate was being interpreted, it mentioned that below the Nascent Soul level, the pinnacle existence is both an opportunity and a trouble.

But now, this statement is absent.

There is only one sentence: ”To avoid or to face requires careful consideration.”

In other words, does this mean that if I take the initiative to face it, as long as it is handled properly, it is actually not a big problem?

Although pleasantly surprised, Wen Jiu did not become overly complacent, after all, it was still Zhongji, not Daji.

As long as it’s not Daji, there is a certain risk.

The information interpreted from the Life Plate is only a part, so it still requires caution, for instance, when facing that True Spirit Demon Tree.

The largest one, whether it can be devoured is unknown, but fortunately, with the Corpse Fate Technique, it is not too late to perform divination in front of that True Spirit Demon Tree. If it is still Zhongji, he definitely won’t let that True Spirit Demon Tree go.

What if the Demon Soul contained within that True Spirit Demon Tree can also be devoured using the Soul Capturing Technique?

With this thought, Wen Jiu immediately took out the Communication Stone, deciding to meet Nangong Huan to plot against those True Spirit Demon Trees.

The reason for partnering with Nangong Huan is mainly because someone needs to attract Anchaosheng’s attention.

Even though it’s Zhongji, facing the scheme of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, it’s still best to let the snipe and the clam grapple while the fisherman reaps the benefit.

This is the right path.

However, just at this moment, East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense suddenly sensed a Demon Soul breaking out from within the Demonic Qi Barrier of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, only fifteen thousand miles away. This Demonic Qi Barrier, which even late-stage Golden Core Cultivators couldn’t break through, did not stop him, but the most important part was that the aura of this Demon Soul was very familiar.

”Lord of Celestial Demons?”

Wen Jiu was stunned.

Hadn’t the Demon Soul of the Lord of Celestial Demons already perished?

Otherwise, the True Spirit Demon Tree Seeds couldn’t have broken free.

”If the Demon Soul of the Lord of Celestial Demons had perished, then who is this Demon Soul?” Wen Jiu was about to use the Communication Stone to contact Nangong Huan, but quickly put it away, deciding to pursue it to find out the truth.

The most important thing is, a Demon Soul that can easily traverse the Demonic Qi Barrier is certainly extraordinary. If I don’t pursue and capture its soul, wouldn’t it be a waste of treasure?

With a loud boom—

East Spring Undying Bone once again punched through the Demonic Qi Barrier, locking on with Divine Sense and frantically using the Blood Corpse Escape to chase after it.

To Wen Jiu’s surprise, that Demon Soul seemed to sense the spatial fluctuations behind it and actually began to frantically use the Soul Escape Technique.

The Soul Escape Technique is unlike ordinary Escape Techniques, it’s more challenging to cultivate because the soul endures greater pressure when traversing spatial barriers. So in the soul memories Wen Jiu had obtained, even at the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, middle to late-stage Golden Core Soul Cultivators aren’t necessarily adept at the Soul Escape Technique.

Most Soul Cultivators still primarily use the Flying Escape Technique to increase flying speed and employ stealth methods during flight.

”This Demon Soul actually knows the Soul Escape Technique, it’s not simple at all, which means it’s even more necessary to pursue.” Nonetheless, Wen Jiu cautiously used the Corpse Fate Technique to divine the action of pursuit.

As the Celestial Destiny Star fully lit up, Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to pursue desperately like a mad dog.

Too lazy to even analyze the Life Plate.

Once close, the familiar aura overwhelmed him.

It was indeed the Lord of Celestial Demons.

He wasn’t dead.

No.

To be precise, he actually had two Demon Souls.

This Demon Soul, though not as powerful as the thousand-year Demon Soul previously fused with the Divine Celestial Demon Fire Lotus, was rather unique and exceptionally proficient in Escape Techniques.

It could escape several hundred miles in one go. If East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense hadn’t reached a range of thirty thousand miles, even a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator might have lost the aura of the Lord of Celestial Demons.

But this wasn’t what surprised Wen Jiu the most; the greatest surprise lay within the soul-splitting itself.

The Outer Body Technique is what amazed Nangong Huan, and why so few have succeeded, it’s because cultivating it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The successful are few and far between, not to mention achieving an External Golden Core, which is exceedingly rare.

And the Cultivation Technique for soul-splitting, in the soul memories Wen Jiu had obtained so far, didn’t exist at all.

No Cultivator’s soul memory mentioned the matter of soul-splitting, not even within the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, no one cultivated soul-splitting. It’s not a matter of whether or not it’s hidden, but that the Golden Core stage fundamentally can’t touch such methods. Cultivating soul-splitting is far more than just something outside oneself.

It’s equivalent to having directly created another self, an entity with the same memories and emotions.

The benefits of it are unknown to outsiders, but from what Wen Jiu saw, if it weren’t for this soul-split protecting him, the Lord of Celestial Demons might already have become a puppet of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, or would have died in the Cold Pond Mist Valley.

Such a life-saving technique, even facing existence like East Spring Undying Bone with Soul Capturing Divine Techniques, can still save one’s life.

As long as there’s life, there’s hope.

This technique.

Truly extraordinary.

If possible, he truly wished to acquire it for cultivation.

That way, even if something happened to the original, continuation could be relied on through the soul-split. Yet Wen Jiu felt it wasn’t that simple; otherwise, why isn’t anyone cultivating it, or even aware of the Cultivation Technique for soul-splitting?

Is it a matter of insufficient dissemination?

Most likely not possible.

Ordinary Cultivators might be restricted by the distances between the Hundred Floating Domains, but Cultivators at the late stage of Golden Core certainly wouldn’t be.

The biggest possibility is that the Lower Tongtian River indeed lacks such a method, and even if it exists, it only exists in the deepest parts adjacent to the Lower Tongtian River.

”So it was you... When you attempted mutual destruction with me before, I found it somewhat suspicious.” Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone to transmit voice coercively, probing the reaction of the Lord of Celestial Demons.

The next moment.

The Lord of Celestial Demons was visibly taken aback, accelerating the speed of escape in panic, ”Impossible, how are you unharmed?”

Wen Jiu aimed for the shock of the Lord of Celestial Demons, continuing his pursuit by performing numerous Escape Techniques over several thousand miles. Eventually, the Lord of Celestial Demons could no longer sustain the Escape Technique and could only flee in a flurry.

No matter how refined, how stealthy the Flying Escape Technique is, in front of East Spring Undying Bone, it’s as slow as an old tortoise crawling.

After catching up using several Blood Corpse Escapes, the Lord of Celestial Demons immediately changed direction, rapidly evading. Wen Jiu didn’t mind and continued to use the Blood Corpse Escape to blockade him from the front while revealing his Soul Capturing Power.

Given the escape speed of the split soul of the Lord of Celestial Demons, it was challenging for the Soul Capturing Power to exert immediate control, so Wen Jiu adopted a pressure strategy.

”Are you sure you still want to run?” This time, Wen Jiu did not have East Spring Undying Bone continue the chase but merely displayed his Soul Capturing Power.

After feeling the Soul Capturing Technique imbued with Divine Power, the escape speed of the Lord of Celestial Demons slowed, and he quickly spoke in supplication.

”It means nothing if you capture my soul. I’m merely a split soul, and everything that could be lost has been lost. But if sir can spare me, my Celestial Demon Race will surely remember your great kindness this time.”

”When you blew up my Cold Pond Mist Valley before, this wasn’t your tone at all.” Wen Jiu didn’t immediately capture his soul. Because, perhaps, the soul memory in this split soul’s mind doesn’t compare to its true value.

Capturing the soul isn’t the best option.

Controlling the soul is.

”I will repay tenfold in the future.” The Lord of Celestial Demons hastily promised.

Wen Jiu spoke coldly, ”Right now... Hand over your soul-splitting cultivation method, and I’ll spare your life.”

”This...”

”Don’t want to give it?”

”It’s not that I don’t want to give it; I just can’t. This method is a secret Demon Technique of my Celestial Demon Race, not a human race’s approach at all. Even if your Excellency can have a demon pet cultivate it, except for the Celestial Demon Race, no other demon race can cultivate it.”

”I see, so you hold no value at all.” The Soul Capturing Power from East Spring Undying Bone surged.

The Lord of Celestial Demons, taken aback, quickly continued, ”No, no, no. Daoist friend can find a celestial demon pet, and it can similarly be cultivated. However, it requires the Celestial Demon Demon Emperor Bloodline to initiate this method; otherwise, common celestial demons merely attempting to practice it will have their bloodline explode and die.”

”Less nonsense, pass on the method.”

”The method can be given, but I hope your Excellency can swear a Heart Demon Oath to spare my life, otherwise even upon death, I won’t hand over anything.” The Lord of Celestial Demons resolutely stated, ”Your Excellency should not doubt my determination. To avoid becoming a demon sect puppet, to break free of the True Spirit Demon Tree Heart’s control, I resolutely gave up my physical body, my primary soul, and even a millennium of cultivation... If your Excellency doesn’t swear a Heart Demon Oath, I will rather die than hand over the soul-splitting demon method.”
