Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Such an action.

Lu Feng did it intentionally.

Although he could never completely sever ties with the Qi Guang Sect due to his wife, he didn’t want to stand with the Qi Guang Sect.

At his peak, he didn’t want to. Now that the Qi Guang Sect was in decline and the Lu Family was beginning to soar, he naturally didn’t want to.

However, both his wife and Lin Hai began their cultivation under Lin Yingyun Mountain, and his wife had to call Lin Hai "senior brother", so even if he was unwilling, he still brought Lin Hai to the Cold Pool Mist Valley. And intentionally voicing the order to "cut the grass and root it out" was also to extinguish Lin Hai’s unrealistic ideas.

"Alas."

Lin Hai sighed but didn’t say much more.

Because he was mentally prepared before coming.

After taking a deep look in the direction of the Cold Pool Mist Valley, Lin Hai spoke with difficulty, "Lu Feng, my request is not high, and I’m willing to pay any price... I just want to preserve the Dao lineage of the Qi Guang Sect. At least ensure that the name ’Qi Guang Sect’ does not vanish like smoke after my master’s death."

Lu Feng responded indifferently, "No need to say more to me. Since I’ve brought you, I won’t chase you away."

"Thank you!"

Lin Hai raised his hand and saluted.

Then he stopped and said, "Lu Feng, regarding what Qi Guang Sect did to the Lu Family, I solemnly apologize today. I will not make excuses for my master, and I will certainly bear the mistakes. Regardless of whether the Corpse Ancestor helps the Qi Guang Sect, I will bring the three Golden Core Secret Techniques that I’ve kept to the Lu Family."

"The Lu Family has the Corpse Ancestor; there’s no need for any Golden Core Secret Techniques. I just hope that after this, you won’t bother her again," Lu Feng remained indifferent and transformed into a light, flying to the sky above the Cold Pond Array.

Lin Hai followed closely behind, saying no more.

When the Cold Pond was within reach, Lin Hai quickly bowed and attended with a voice like a large bell, "Qi Guang Sect’s Lin Hai pays respects to the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, wishing the Corpse Ancestor to transcend the Upper Realm barrier soon and attain perfection!"

Lin Hai’s voice instantly spread throughout the Cold Pool Mist Valley, causing many Lu Family members within the spirit veins to stop and gaze upwards.

"Lin Hai?"

"This name sounds familiar... Middle Stage of Golden Core, also called Lin Hai. Yes, yes, yes, it’s Qi Guang Sect’s Great Elder Lin Hai! It’s truly him!"

"In the Qi Guang Sect, he is second only to one person and above thousands. Across the entire western part of the West Mountain Floating Domain, let alone our Lu Family Ancestor, even the City Lord of the East Pole Immortal City must treat him with courtesy... I never thought there would be a time when he would be respectful and flattering to our Lu Family."

At this moment.

Many disciples of the Lu Family felt a sense of delight, for the Qi Guang Sect had always been a towering mountain that could only be gazed upon reverentially.

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone directly and moved him into the cave mansion, simultaneously enveloping his surroundings with Divine Sense, not allowing his Divine Sense to probe at will. Seeing this, Lu Feng silently stood guard outside the array.

Being suddenly moved into the great array, Lin Hai couldn’t help but be startled. Sensing the aura from the East Spring Undying Bone, which was even sharper than the ancestor’s, he quickly straightened his clothes and saluted again.

"Junior Lin Hai, pays respect to the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor!"

He didn’t even care to think about why the Lu Family suddenly had an ancestor, only one thought in mind.

This trip was right!

"To be frank, I don’t want to see you, nor do I want to meddle in your war with the Longteng Family, and I certainly don’t want to have anything to do with your Qi Guang Sect," Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone and said coldly.

Lin Hai hurriedly said, "Junior dares not to deceive the ancestor, coming today is to request the ancestor to protect the Qi Guang Sect’s Dao lineage. Junior dares not to expect the Qi Guang Sect to regain its former glory, nor dare to hope for revenge against the Longteng Family."

"You should know the order Longteng Liyi just issued to the Longteng Family," Wen Jiu, having Longteng Qianyue as an ear in the Longteng Family, naturally knew about it earlier than anyone else.

When learning about it, Wen Jiu almost burst into laughter.

The world still has many good people, indeed.

"I know." Lin Hai felt a knot in his heart, growing uneasy. After pondering for two breaths, he quickly added, "That’s why I carefully considered it before coming, and after much deliberation, I am willing to exchange the Qi Guang Sect’s thousand-year-old Hidden Techniques and a Secret Realm Cave Heaven for the ancestor to protect the Qi Guang Sect’s Dao lineage."

"Continue,"

Wen Jiu said.

Lin Hai was overjoyed.

"To be precise, it’s the heritage of two thousand three hundred years. Over the past two thousand three hundred years, every generation of Qi Guang Sect’s Golden Core cultivators has endeavored to fill the treasury, with numerous orthodox and heterodox techniques. The three major Golden Core techniques of Qi Guang Sect are among them, including the Night Bright Windless Heart Technique practiced by the ancestor. Regarding the myriad arts of celestial cultivation, whether it’s alchemy masters, talisman masters, spirit array masters, puppet masters, etc., the hidden techniques of the treasury include no less than seven methods of cultivation up to the third rank for each category..."

Lin Hai truthfully stated, giving Wen Jiu some insight. Other Golden Core influences consider themselves fortunate to obtain a complete third-rank alchemy method, yet the Qi Guang Sect possesses seven.

And every single celestial art has at least seven.

The foundation of two thousand years is indeed rich, and if converted into Spirit Stones, its value would be immeasurable. However, perhaps no force can afford it, even the East Splendor Divine Palace might find it challenging.

But instead, Wen Jiu was more impressed by the fact that in over two thousand years, the countless years of legacy by predecessors could only be used today to trade for the continuation of the Dao lineage, exchanging for mere survival, truly lamentable.

Putting aside his thoughts, Wen Jiu spoke again, "The hidden techniques are indeed many and significant, carrying the heritage of over two thousand years of Qi Guang Sect, but I am more curious about the Secret Realm Cave Heaven you mentioned. You dared to compare it with the two-thousand-year-old hidden techniques; it must have a story, right?"

Lin Hai was thrilled again. He wasn’t afraid to offer techniques, nor shy away from giving, having reached a dead end with no alternatives. Instead of dying at the hands of the Longteng Family’s Golden Core cultivators with these things, it’s better to offer them to others.

What he feared was that the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor was uninterested.!

"That Secret Realm Cave Heaven was discovered by the ancestor. However, instead of calling it a Secret Realm Cave Heaven, it’s more fitting to call it a Spiritless Death Land. The ancestor once said that within that Spiritless Death Land, there is not a shred of Spiritual Qi, every inch of land brimming with abundant Evil Qi. These would devour any Spiritual Qi trying to enter, also consuming any creatures attempting to enter the cave."

The ancestor explored it once, but only dared to stay momentarily, as the Evil Qi within was truly overwhelming. The ancestor estimated that it must have accumulated for at least three thousand years and had already developed consciousness. With consciousness, the Evil Qi becomes a malevolent spirit. Although they lack the prowess of a Golden Core cultivator, they’re insidious, even penetrating the Power of the Body-Protecting Golden Pill, extremely terrifying.

A normal Golden Core entering it would soon become possessed by the malevolent spirits, turning into a mad cultivator, neither human nor ghost. After understanding it, the ancestor sealed the cave, prohibiting anyone from entering.

Hearing this, Wen Jiu was noticeably intrigued; no wonder Lin Hai compared it to the two-three thousand-year-old hidden techniques. That Spiritless Death Land, frightful to the Golden Core, would be a dreamland for powerful heterodox evil cultivators. Those malevolent spirits, as long as they could be subdued, would become resources.

However, they needed to find out what caused the Evil Qi to arise and what the source was, as however much Evil Qi, it remained only Qi, at most a rare place for nourishing corpses and cultivating ghosts.

"Do you know what caused their birth?" Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to ask.

Lin Hai shook his head, "I’m not sure; the ancestor didn’t mention it in detail. I only heard that when he tried to delve deeper, the mist grew thicker, the range his Divine Sense could probe diminished, and finally, even an Upper Realm Divine Sense could only reach ten feet ahead.

However, through the mist, the ancestor saw many silhouettes standing in the fog, like statues. Flying a hundred miles, those figures hidden deep within the mist were still nowhere near an end. The ancestor initially wanted to investigate thoroughly, but the deeper he went, the denser the Evil Qi became. The Power of the Body-Protecting Golden Pill seemed like a fragile eggshell, about to shatter at the next breath."

"Did your family’s ancestor never go back?" Wen Jiu didn’t have time to search, quickly asking again.

Lin Hai shook his head.

"He never went back."

"Is there any other information?"

To be honest, Wen Jiu didn’t quite believe that he never went back. Either Lin Hai was deliberately withholding, or Lin Yingyun Mountain encountered something inside; otherwise, why seal it?

Even though the Spiritless Death Land was of little use to the Qi Guang Sect, cultivators are never short on greed.

Would Lin Yingyun Mountain really resist not entering?
