Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 787: Chapter 377: Comprehensive Enhancement, Four Domains Sealed Off

As for the enhancement of the True Spirit Root, although it still hasn’t been raised to a high-quality grade, it has separately brought a five percent success rate.

Thereby, raising the chance of the Golden Core transforming into a Heaven-Reaching Outer Dao Nascent Soul to thirty-five percent.

Thirty-five percent is not much.

But in the short term, the Three Corpses and Five Ghosts each have five times of feedback remaining, and if only twice fall on the True Spirit Root, it will increase another ten percent, reaching forty percent.

If it can also fall on the Celestial Yin Golden Body, and combined with the enhancement from the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Body, the chance can be further increased.

Forty-five percent?

Fifty percent?

No matter how much it increases, once this chance is spread, it’s feared it will drive all the Golden Core cultivators of the Hundred Floating Domains to madness.

After all, for a slim chance, Nangong Huan and Gu Qinghe would abandon everything to betray the Domain Lord’s Mansion.

Even Mingyi, one of the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators of the East Splendor Divine Palace, could betray a Nascent Soul-level sect like the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion.

Perhaps if others were given a five percent chance to form a Heaven-Reaching Outer Dao Nascent Soul, countless Golden Core cultivators would be willing to give up everything.

Truly lamentable.

As for the last feedback, it fell on cultivation, but the improvement it brought wasn’t significant.

There’s no need to say more about it.

To be honest, Wen Jiu now actually hopes not to increase his cultivation but rather wishes all feedback would fall on the Spirit Root and the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Body.

After all, compared to the Heaven-Reaching Outer Dao Nascent Soul Fruit, his own cultivation is still insignificant for now.

...

During this period, Wen Jiu used the Corpse Fate Technique to conduct a divination.

Concerning his own safety, and also to see how much longer he could stay in Donghua Immortal City.

The True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree had been taken by him, and the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect would surely make a move, but how big the move would be is hard to say. It completely depends on the importance of the Mother Tree of the True Spirit Demon Tree to the Outer Path Hidden Demon.

But no matter the size of the move, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is likely to target the East Splendor Divine Palace, regardless of whether it is a Nascent Soul-level sect.

After conducting divination with the Corpse Fate Technique, the outcome was as expected—minor disaster.

According to the Life Plate analysis, if he continues to remain alone in Donghua Immortal City without revealing himself, there would undoubtedly be quite a bit of trouble.

With the enhancement of the Corpse Fate Technique, albeit Wen Jiu can still only use the Life Plate for analysis, he managed to discern some sources of ominous signs.

Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect!

This also led Wen Jiu to some speculation that with an increase in the Three Thousand Blood Inks, whether the Corpse Fate Technique could pinpoint the source of ominous or auspicious signs during divination?

If it truly could, the divination by the Corpse Fate Technique would not only be used to preempt problems but could also be used to eliminate hidden dangers. After all, threats will not always come from known enemies.

Moreover, if he could indeed glimpse the source, when utilizing the East Spring Undying Bone to seize opportunities in the future, it would also be more assuredly.

Later, Wen Jiu attempted to divine the future condition upon leaving Donghua Immortal City and incorporated the East Spring Undying Bone or the Five Yin Ghosts at the Tier Three Peak, with results still quite satisfying to Wen Jiu.

Auspicious.

And quite auspicious!

This result was very pleasing to Wen Jiu; previously, he came to Donghua Immortal City to seek an opportunity to board a ship. Now connections have been established, and his relationship with Gongyang Fu is tightly linked through the Corpse Concealing Elixir. Obtaing or purchasing a boarding quota at a great price is surely without any issue.

Therefore, he no longer has any reason to remain in Donghua Immortal City.

As it happens, the Lu Family will gradually be migrating over, establishing proximity with Wuxinming’s Golden Core influence, and Wen Jiu could hide himself under both families’ shield, slowly planning the breakthrough tribulation of the East Spring Undying Bone.

However, before leaving, he must secure the boarding quota for the next year, thereafter maintaining contact with Gongyang Fu using the Corpse Concealing Elixir.

In the ensuing days, the western part of the Xishan Floating Domain was in a state of unrest, while the Lu Family’s migration continued in an orderly manner. As for their assets, spirit veins, and spirit ores in the west, the Lu Family cleared them out entirely; even if someone bargained down the price, Lu Feng would unhesitantly sell them off.

Of course.

No one dared to wield a ”butcher’s knife,” since even though the Lu Family Ancestor was likely to have perished alongside Divine General Nangong Huan and Spirit Control Department’s Fate Gu Qinghe in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, the Lu Family still had Lu Feng.

As for the Qi Guang Sect, the Lu Family’s migratory actions gradually weakened its resistance against the Longteng Family.

Offense turned to defense.

And the Longteng Family, after finally catching a breath, compounded by the demise of Nangong Huan, Gu Qinghe, and the Lu Family Ancestor, dared not continue attacking the Qi Guang Sect. The sudden loss of three Upper Golden Core Realm members posed an overwhelming pressure.

Yet although the Longteng Family dared not confront the Qi Guang Sect, they nevertheless harassed the Lu Family daily.

After all, the Longteng Family’s territory was closer to the Lu Family, and the Lu Family had only one Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Feng.

Furthermore, as the Longteng Family’s Ancestor Longteng Liyi was killed by the Lu Family Ancestor, the Longteng Family naturally desired revenge more.

However, the Lu Family moved quickly, so when part of the Longteng Family sought revenge against them, they could only cause minor trouble to a small portion of the Lu Family members. There was no substantial loss to the Lu Family as a whole.

Simultaneously, Wen Jiu also advised Lu Feng to allow the Longteng Family some gains, such as spirit veins and the like.

Since they had to play the part, they might as well make it convincing.

Currently, drawing no attention from the Demon Dao is of utmost importance.

Let the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect direct their spearhead at the East Splendor Divine Palace, or even the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion!

...

Boundless Celestial Demon Valley.

Floating Demon Mountain.

A colossal greyish-white hall, like a dense fog, sat amid it, with one hundred and eight grey stone pillars inside the hall. Within those pillars, blood-red secret patterns pulsed like the beating heart of a living person.

These one hundred and eight grey stone pillars echoed one another, forming a zone both mysterious and exceedingly sinister. The demonic qi floating in this vicinity was grey-white, and when moved by the wind, it exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

And within this grey-white expanse, a middle-aged looking man draped in a grey patterned robe, entwined with a one-eyed black python, hovered. This was Xing Luo, the Demon Lord never having appeared when the lords of the ten lineages gathered.

It was at the moment Xing Luo opened his eyes that Red Lotus’s voice resonated within the hall, ”Demon Lord, the Heaven-Reaching River Basin, and the Lifeless Abyssal Realm beneath the Four Domains have been completely sealed. Within seven days, the blockade line has extended to a scope of ten thousand li.

Over the next half-month, the blockade line will continue expanding, ultimately reaching a hundred thousand li. Any cross-domain flying ship departing from the Four Domains or nearing them will come to our awareness.”

”Hmm.”

Xing Luo uttered a single word coldly in return.

Before long, Red Lotus’s voice issued again, ”Demon Lord, should the attacks on the Golan Floating Domain, Wuling Floating Domain, and Spirit Water Floating Domain be postponed? Prioritize identifying the one who took the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree.”

”Your task is only to initiate a blockade, finding the True Spirit Demon Tree is none of your concern. As for the assaults, there’s no need to pause. Let the other Demon Dao sects make a move, they should sacrifice for the future of the Demon Dao.”

”But with just them... perhaps they’re not a match for the forces of the Three Domains.”

”Then let them make a choice, whether to die on the expedition, or be buried under the black earth of the Lifeless Abyss.”

Xing Luo’s tone was icy, not permitting any challenge.

Evidently, Red Lotus dared not speak further in response, and shifted focus, accurately reporting the investigations of Dark Altar and Cyan Demon Lineage from recent times.

”Demon Lord, through the Cyan Demon Lineage, we have learned that Divine General Nangong Huan, Spirit Control Department’s Fate Gu Qinghe, and the Lu Family Ancestor have all perished in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. The deaths of Nangong Huan and Gu Qinghe have been confirmed by the Spirit Suppressing General and the Spirit Control Department, with their Life Soul Lamps completely extinguished, and the Lu Family has commenced a full migration to avoid the Longteng Family’s retaliation. The death of the Lu Family Ancestor is very likely true.

As for the East Splendor Divine Palace, no message has ever been relayed, and neither the Cyan Demon Lineage nor the Dark Altar Lineage have unearthed any information, yet Mingyi has not appeared since the event in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, seemingly living in hiding after the Nascent Soul-level Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion cultivator extinguished Nangong Huan and others for good.”

”Mingyi is dead, and that individual silenced him as well.” Xing Luo coldly responded, subsequently muttering to himself, eyes filled with murderous intent, ”The deeds truly are clean and decisive, but how much longer do you think you can hide? My Life techniques cannot foretell your existence, yet can you evade the Demon Monarch’s scrutiny?”
