Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Ye Chen’s Cave Mansion.

Purple Flame Ming was still snoring loudly.

He spent most of the day in a deep slumber.

When Ye Chen opened the jade box and saw the Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Generating Pill filled with golden patterns, his expression changed, ”This Blood Generating Pill is enough to heal all my injuries from the battle at Black Moon City, and it might even help me step into the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer... I owe that guy a huge favor this time.”

If it were in the past.

He wouldn’t have accepted it.

He would rather die than owe Bai Jianxin a favor.

But now, with the great enemy before him, this Blood Generating Pill is enough to elevate him to a higher level, better dealing with the Celestial Left Alliance, so he couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to.

Eastern Celestial City smiled silently, then bowed and walked out of the cave, gazing at the entire Deadman Peak from afar, ”It’s evident he saw through my true plan by offering you the Blood Generating Pill at this moment.”

”I just worry that the Celestial Left Alliance people won’t dare to come.”

Ye Chen spoke.

Eastern Celestial City smiled, ”If they don’t come, wouldn’t that be perfect? I wouldn’t have to engage in such a risky gamble with them, and the pressure on the side peaks would ease a little. But you should know that Ku Yue will never miss any opportunity. He must have learned from Yanposhan that the Celestial Extinction Ruins will have the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Foundation Establishment attending, so this is the best chance to destabilize Deadman Peak.”

”Then junior brother will fight alongside senior brother once more. Leave Liu Qianling to me, after stepping into the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, I’ll use the Seven Divine Seals again, and surely kill him.” Ye Chen spoke without hesitation, having already come to terms with life and death.

”Junior brother...” Eastern Celestial City nodded, also understanding what it meant to use the Seven Divine Seals again.

It meant Ye Chen wouldn’t have much time left.

But someone must sacrifice for the centuries-long foundation of Deadman Peak.

Even if Bai Jianxin and the other are strong, they can’t defeat Liu Qianling; only Ye Chen with the Seven Divine Seals can slay him.

”Senior brother, we still need a catalyst.” Ye Chen spoke again, ”Whether or not Master has fallen, he surely knows better than us with the Three Life Gates backing him. The fact that they’re not attacking yet only means he isn’t sure... so we should give him news that forces him to make a decision!”

”I’ve already sent someone to arrange it, trading a Foundation Establishment Technique for the Fuhai Tower from the Far North to announce this news. Fuhai Tower, being the strongest intelligence force in both the Far West and Far North, won’t be doubted by Ku Yue.”

”Senior brother is truly willing to sacrifice.”

”If it can solve the crisis of Deadman Peak, I would even give up my life,” Eastern Celestial City spoke without hesitation.

Ye Chen didn’t doubt.

Because he believed.

”Breakthrough,” Eastern Celestial City left those four words before leaving Ye Chen’s cave mansion.

Ye Chen immediately activated the Cave Mansion Array.

He also consumed the Blood Generating Pill and broke through without hesitation.

However, a sense of regret lingered in his heart.

Having no children or family ties, at this moment, he felt no emotional waves, but he was concerned about his three disciples.

Li Mu wished to shoulder the responsibility of the Inspection Hall, unwilling to disappoint him, even if it meant wearing an emotionless facade.

But despite Li Mu’s decent spirit root, his aptitude wasn’t outstanding. Whether he could support the Inspection Hall in the future depended on opportunities yet to come. Following the path of cultivation, reaching the Qi Cultivation Seventh or Eighth Layer might be his limit.

And Yanyue’s heart is heavy with killing, similar to him; her spirit root and talent are excellent, but she has taken too many lives and amassed too much karma.

If no accidents occur, reaching the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer or even the Realm of Perfection shouldn’t be an issue, but achieving Foundation Establishment is as challenging as ascending to the heavens.

Lastly, there’s Wen Jiu.

This boy had the worst spirit root he had ever seen, yet the best Heterodox Talent, with great prospects of mastering the Yinzhou Heterodox Record. If Deadman Peak can safely weather this crisis, it will inevitably secure its place in the future.

If he could maintain a humble and diligent cultivation mindset, his future achievements would be extraordinary.

But Wen Jiu practiced the Corpse Nourishing Dao, and during cultivation, he was easily swayed.

It was hard to stay true to one’s essence.

Hard to maintain one’s boundaries.

Ku Yue was this way initially.

And that’s why he defected from Deadman Peak.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Within the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, after continuously hunting nearly twenty-five True Spirit Demons over these few days, the Three Evil Flying Corpses finally reached the Realm of Perfection, and the True Spirit Blood Body stepped into the Eighth Layer.

Though still unable to meet the requirements for External Foundation Establishment, it had reached the best state of fusion.

External Foundation Establishment had to withstand Thunder Punishment, and unless the True Spirit Blood Body reached perfection, Wen Jiu certainly wouldn’t attempt it.

Should the Flying Corpses perish under Thunder Punishment,

all previous efforts would be in vain.

”Now I just need to cultivate a Tier One High-grade Yin Talisman Master to create the Time Moon Rune Array, and then integrate them,” Wen Jiu decided to put Corpse Nourishing on hold and focus on gaining experience as a Talisman Master in the coming days.

In the past half month, Wen Jiu drew talismans for two hours daily, producing ten talismans, and with the daily settlement panel of the second level, he could gain twenty experience points.

Going forward, he could extend talisman drawing to ten hours daily, leaving only two hours for hunting True Spirit Demons, Corpse Nourishing, and making Talisman Paper.

Without elder sister Wen Ya’s assistance with the Talisman Paper, even two hours wouldn’t suffice.

Although Wen Ya observed Wen Jiu’s grueling twelve-hour training regimen, she said nothing. Yet after Wen Jiu began drawing talismans for ten hours daily, some nourishing medicinal meals appeared at home.

This reminded Wen Jiu that talisman drawing, unlike Corpse Nourishing or cultivation, doesn’t naturally recover from exhaustion.

It greatly depletes the vitality and spirit, and replenishing it isn’t instantaneous; only medicinal or spiritual cuisines and elixirs are genuinely effective in restoring mental strength. However, the medicinal meals Wen Ya procured were quite ordinary, offering negligible recovery after consecutive days.
