Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

With the Demon Sound Dao Fruit in your possession, you become undying and indestructible... Fellow Daoist, don’t you want to see the scenery from an even higher vantage point? To behold the sights that even Demon Monarchs and True Monarchs may not witness after countless millennia!"

"I..."

Lin Yingyun was moved.

He was as excited as when he first discovered the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core, perhaps even more so.

Because compared to before, he had endured even more despair.

"According to legend, the True Spirit Demon Tree is eternal and indestructible. If not for the Heaven-Reaching River Water washing it away, the endless True Spirit Demon Trees would blanket the entire Hundred Floating Domains, turning the world entirely into a Demon Realm. This is an opportunity... an opportunity to survive, a chance to break free from this prison. I’ve already missed out on the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core; I can’t miss the True Spirit Demon Tree!"

Lin Yingyun gritted his teeth and nodded, his gaze filled with determination.

As for the Qi Guang Sect and his descendants, he didn’t care. For when his tranquility was shattered with the annihilation of the small town, nothing was shameful to him anymore. From then on, he had only the path of cultivation.

What of becoming a demon?

What of defying destiny?

He merely wished to shatter this unjust prison of Heavenly Dao and gaze upon the splendor beyond the Nascent Soul!

Just then, the calm voice of Anchaosheng softly echoed in his ear.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoist."

Lin Yingyun muttered, "Dao... Friend..."

He then suddenly looked at Anchaosheng with determination.

"Fellow Daoist!"

...

In the Cold Pool Mist Valley.

Over the next month, Wen Jiu continually kept the East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense extended.

He remained vigilant to any disturbances within a ten-thousand-mile radius, refusing to withdraw his Divine Sense until the Corpse Fate Technique reached perfection.

As for the anomalies previously manifesting in the Dark Realm, Wen Jiu hadn’t used the Corpse Fate Technique to divine them again, knowing it would be futile due to the low level of the Blood Ink Three Thousand Realm.

Within Donghua Immortal City, Wen Jiu frequently interacted with Gongyang Fu. As for Wuxinming’s Divine Storage Three Thousand Spiritless Yin Pill, Wen Jiu didn’t take it but allowed Wuxinming to consume it himself.

Without any mishaps, Wuxinming successfully achieved a Realm Breakthrough, attaining the Middle Stage of Golden Core, and Wen Jiu even protected him during his cultivation.

However, after his Realm Breakthrough, Wen Jiu showcased his abilities by repeatedly using the Blood Corpse Escape to hasten to Donghua Immortal City, under the guise of urgency. But after flying only five thousand miles, Wuxinming couldn’t hold on, reaching the limit his Spirit Body could endure.

Wen Jiu, appearing unbothered, reprimanded him for "wasting time," and then returned alone to East Pole Immortal City. When Wuxinming inquired upon arrival, learning that Wen Jiu had returned two days earlier, his newfound joy and pride from the breakthrough vanished completely.

Given the nearly forty thousand miles separating the two cities, Wen Jiu’s ability to arrive two days ahead was terrifying.

Wuxinming came to understand why Wen Jiu dared to venture alone into Donghua Immortal City.

"Thankfully, I only need to serve for fifty years." Wuxinming felt a wave of despair and reluctantly visited the Zhao Family.

Upon learning of Wuxinming’s achievement of the Middle Stage of Golden Core, the Zhao Family became exceedingly hospitable. Golden Core cultivators came in droves to congratulate him, and even the Elders from the Cyan Moon Sect spent half a month traveling over two or three hundred thousand miles to personally deliver gifts to the Zhao Family.

As a result, Wuxinming’s smile became much brighter.

Before long, several months had passed. The cultivation of Three Corpses and Five Ghosts proceeded steadily, neither fast nor slow, but Wen Jiu finally awaited the perfection of the Corpse Fate Technique. The heavens do not fail those who toil diligently.

[Skill: Corpse Fate Technique (Perfection)]

Seeing the filled experience bar, Wen Jiu unhesitatingly manipulated Blood Ink Three Thousand, deploying the Corpse Fate Technique to enter the Dark Realm. Upon re-entering, the Earth Destiny Star and Celestial Destiny Star within the Dark Realm were fully illuminated.

Meanwhile, he had already controlled the Blood Demon Undying Bone to return to Cold Pool Mist Valley and wait by the side. Since the perfected Corpse Fate Technique required a sacrifice of longevity to foretell one’s own fortune, at least a hundred years each time corresponded to a thousand years for the Blood Demon Undying Bone.

As longevity is self-used by the Demon Corpse without limit, but weakened tenfold when used by external entities or Corpse Nourishing individuals, it was fortunate the Blood Demon Undying Bone had recently absorbed enough longevity while mingling at the battlefront’s edge.

[Current absorbed longevity: 16,752 years.]

The first attempt.

Wen Jiu first divined his own fortune within Donghua Immortal City for the upcoming days.

Although limited by the Blood Ink Three Thousand Realm, displaying only a little, after consuming two thousand two hundred years of the Blood Demon Undying Bone’s longevity, Wen Jiu still gleaned much valuable information.

In the Dark Realm, previously dim Celestial Destiny Stars gradually brightened, though only one-tenth.

Fully illuminated Celestial Destiny Stars signify great fortune, while half-bright ones indicate moderate fortune.

One-tenth signifies small fortune.

If the Celestial Destiny Stars were entirely extinguished without the Earth Destiny Star shimmering, it implies intertwined fortune; neither auspicious nor ominous. Similarly, the more illumined the Earth Destiny Star, the more perilous the future.

"Small fortune..."

Wen Jiu immediately utilized the Corpse Fate Technique again, managing the Life Plate, expending a significant amount of corpse energy to delve deeper into the specific nuances of the small fortune’s Celestial Secret in greater depth. However, Wen Jiu was taken aback as the Blood Ink Three Thousand, Formless Demon Corpse’s corpse energy, and Five Ghosts were drained in an instant.

Merely an instant!

"This is just analyzing the Celestial Secret of the results, yet equates to divining a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator."

Wen Jiu gained a profound understanding of his heavy Celestial Secret.

"Then, the stronger the body’s strength and the heavier the Celestial Secret, the more corpse energy and longevity consumed? It seems when East Spring Undying Bone reaches a higher or perfect state, elevating the cultivation of Blood Ink Three Thousand must be prioritized, though not feasible in the short term... Oh yes, there’s also Zhao Ming’s Innate Fate Derivation Object. It seems that nurturing Zhao Ming needs to be expedited." //
