Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

”Deadman Peak, welcome, Fellow Daoist, to join us!” Seeing Wen Jiu nod, Eastern Celestial City was overjoyed.

Although the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse was quite precious, exchanging it for an Honored Guest Elder capable of easily slaying Liu Qianling and Yanposhan was worth it.

In one word.

Worth!

Bai Jianxin, who was standing beside, said nothing more and handed over the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse, along with the incantation to activate the Sealing Demon Coffin to suppress the Demon Corpse, to Wen Jiu. However, Wen Jiu noticed that Bai Jianxin hesitated to speak several times during the handover.

Wen Jiu could tell that Bai Jianxin was somewhat reluctant to hand over the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse to him, or more accurately, to him as a Heterodox Cultivator. But for Deadman Peak, Bai Jianxin abandoned his inner resolve.

Eastern Celestial City naturally noticed this as well, and quickly spoke, ”Fellow Daoist, please follow me to enter the sect; on the Main Peak, Fellow Daoist can open a cave residence at will. Three days later, this old man will hold a ceremony for your entrance into the sect!”

”No need for the entrance ceremony.”

Wen Jiu shook his head and refused.

”This...”

Eastern Celestial City was at a loss for words.

Wen Jiu naturally understood the hidden intention behind Eastern Celestial City’s plan to hold an entrance ceremony was to make his reputation known and deter the enemies of Deadman Peak. Otherwise, why hold a ceremony for an Honored Guest Elder of ten years?

”However, Elder Dongfang can spread the news of this old man’s joining the sect. Since I am an Honored Guest Elder of Deadman Peak, there is no need to keep it under wraps.”

Hearing this, Eastern Celestial City was overjoyed and clasped his hands in gratitude. After all, Deadman Peak now needed someone to intimidate Ku Yue, Yin Yang Dust, and the watchful Three Sects and Five Peaks, ”Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”

”Fellow Daoist, please!”

Ye Chen raised his hand to invite Wen Jiu into the sect.

Wen Jiu collected the Sealing Demon Coffin, manipulated his corpses to follow, and then, accompanied by Eastern Celestial City and Ye Chen, chose a secluded place on the peak to establish a cave residence, after which Bai Jianxin took his leave once Wen Jiu entered the sect.

Later, Eastern Celestial City couldn’t help but ask Wen Jiu’s name and why he assisted Deadman Peak in crossing the tribulation previously.

Wen Jiu casually fabricated a name, ”This old man is Han Li. As for why I helped Deadman Peak, it was just to repay a favor. As for whom I’m repaying, Elder Dongfang need not inquire further; now is not the time to speak of it.”

”I was presumptuous.” Eastern Celestial City forced a smile while searching his mind for information about Han Li.

However.

In the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak, for a century, there had never been a Corpse Nurturer by the name of Han Li.

Evidently, Han Li was likely just an alias.

Yet pondering Han Li’s terrifying strength, if he indeed harbored hostility towards Deadman Peak or harbored some other scheme, there would be no need for so many twists and turns—he alone could sweep through Deadman Peak to take what he desires.

After a few casual exchanges, Wen Jiu took his leave, ”If there is anything, you can contact me directly through a Sound Transmission Talisman.”

”Fellow Daoist Han, take care. Within seven days, the cave will surely be ready for habitation; by then, Fellow Daoist can move in.”

”Mm-hmm.”

Upon finishing his words.

Wen Jiu manipulated his corpses and departed.

In a brief moment, he disappeared into the night.

However, after flying ten miles beyond Deadman Peak, Wen Jiu executed a Blood Corpse Escape to return to the cultivation residence halfway up the mountain.

Once Wen Jiu left, Ye Chen couldn’t help but speak eagerly: ”Senior Brother, could Master have done him a favor in the past?”

”Perhaps so, otherwise, who in Deadman Peak could have done a favor for such a powerful Corpse Nurturer?” Eastern Celestial City pondered aloud as he gazed towards where Wen Jiu vanished, ”Although such a character can only be our Honored Guest Elder for ten years, this ten-year connection will certainly accompany his Heterodox Foundation Establishment. In the future, when he establishes his foundation, if we continue to maintain a good relationship with him, we could have a few more protections in the impending chaotic times!”

”Senior Brother indeed.”

Ye Chen lauded with admiration.

For he simply hadn’t thought so far ahead or so deeply.

...

In the days following, Wen Jiu continued to gain experience, yet through the messages from Ping Mountain, he became well-acquainted with the situation outside.

After he entered the sect under the identity of Han Li, the All-Knowing Tower began to widely publicize within the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak. Based on his records of killing Liu Qianling and defeating Gui Tian Sheng, he leapfrogged to become the number one person in the Heterodox Dao of Deadman Peak.

Even more impressive than Ku Yue, the leader of the Celestial Left Alliance.

And with Han Li’s joining, the prestige of Deadman Peak was restored to the level it was at before Celestial Official Bai’s incident.

Soon, this news reached Little Inference Mountain.

And then into Cloud Mist Peak.

Compared to the reaction of Little Inference Mountain, Cloud Mist Peak was in turmoil for a while. After all, the Peak Master of Cloud Mist Peak, Yanposhan, was dead. If Deadman Peak launched an offense at this time, there would be no one in Cloud Mist Peak able to withstand Eastern Celestial City and Han Li together.

Hence, on the third day after the news was conveyed, people from Cloud Mist Peak piloted a flying ship bearing gifts to Deadman Peak.

The purpose was to offer apologies.

Eastern Celestial City did not demand much, only accepting the gifts and acquiring a hundred miles of territory from Cloud Mist Peak.

After receiving the apology gifts, Eastern Celestial City also did not continue to make things difficult for the people of Cloud Mist Peak, promptly giving a promise not to invade Cloud Mist Peak. Although they lost a hundred miles of land, the people of Cloud Mist Peak were more or less satisfied when they left.

When Wen Jiu heard this news, he was not surprised. After all, Cloud Mist Peak did not only border Deadman Peak.

Among the Three Sects and Six Peaks, aside from the top-ranked Moon Extreme Sect, the other eight forces all shared borders with Cloud Mist Peak. If Deadman Peak demanded too much, it wouldn’t be a good thing and might invite trouble.

After all, those who gorge themselves alone never end well.

A few days later, Wen Jiu transformed into Han Li, took a tour of the new cave residence Eastern Celestial City had arranged for him, and found it quite satisfactory. The Spiritual Qi concentration was two to three times more abundant than the cave residence halfway up the mountain, which was quite impressive.

So, Wen Jiu set the Talisman Painting Land in the new cave residence. After all, whether for painting Yin Talismans or otherwise, the more abundant the Spiritual Qi, the better, as it speeds up the recovery of the Yin Technique.
