Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Feng Jue didn’t mention the previous incident.

He also didn’t mention the death of Yin Yang Dust.

He didn’t even ask a single question.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised by this; perhaps to Feng Jue, as long as Ku Yue was unharmed, the death of a few Yin Yang Dusts was insignificant. As for why he’d kill Yin Yang Dust or Ku Yue, Feng Jue clearly cared even less.

But Wen Jiu was puzzled by how this guy started right away with these words of caution, seemingly reminding him, though it felt more complex than that.

”Thank you for the warning, Fellow Daoist,” Wen Jiu casually responded, focusing on picking up food and eating rice.

Regardless of what Feng Jue was planning, Wen Jiu didn’t want to engage further. He didn’t wish to be like a grasshopper tied to the same rope as Feng Jue. If Feng Jue wanted to be a grasshopper, he could be one; Wen Jiu just wanted to quietly nourish corpses.

At worst, after dealing with Celestial Extinction Ruins, he could discard Han Li’s identity and let go of the benefits from Prohibition of Living People.

It wouldn’t affect him much.

But Feng Jue apparently didn’t want to stop. Instead, he boldly said something that nearly made Wen Jiu murderous, ”Fellow Daoist Han, don’t pretend to be calm; others can’t see, but I know you’re not from Three Life Gates.”

Feng Jue calmly raised his cup and said, seeing Wen Jiu still indifferent and seemingly unconcerned about being exposed, he then joked, ”Just pretend I didn’t say anything, let’s drink, drink... I almost forgot, with Fellow Daoist’s Escape Technique, my worry was indeed unnecessary.

However, Fellow Daoist also knows about the situation in Divine Fall Mountain Range, where Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks monopolizes techniques, cultivation methods, and resources, completely blocking outsiders from achieving the Golden Core, and the suppression of Heterodox Dao is particularly severe. If Fellow Daoist is interested in the future, pass a message to me, and we can find a new path together towards the Golden Core.”

”Let’s talk about future matters when the time comes.” At this moment Wen Jiu realized this guy wanted to completely pull him into the venture.

Rather than just a simple collaboration this time.

Though he wasn’t sure of Feng Jue’s true intentions, Wen Jiu felt Feng Jue had the inclination of wanting to join Three Life Gates.

If that were truly the case.

Wen Jiu could only think, someone who betrays for profit, would they truly be valued in Three Life Gates? If Feng Jue did such a thing, he wouldn’t just belittle himself, but might even be discarded as worthless by Three Life Gates.

Seeing Wen Jiu’s still indifferent expression, Feng Jue didn’t speak further, though he didn’t actually care about Wen Jiu’s reaction that much. In his view, as long as the seed was planted, it would eventually sprout.

After all, Wen Jiu was from the Heterodox Dao.

And in Divine Fall Mountain Range, it’s difficult to climb upward for Heterodox Dao; they might soon be driven to a dead end by Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

”After this event, where do you plan to go?” Wen Jiu changed the subject, gossiping a little appropriately.

After all, after this, Moon Extreme Sect would likely be implicated, since even he could see through Feng Jue’s Stealth Technique, how could Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks’ Foundation Establishment cultivator not?

Feng Jue paused and fell silent for a while before finally saying, ”To be honest, I’ll leave the Far West, leaving Divine Fall Mountain Range. For the Golden Core Daoist, to give myself an explanation, I must abandon my sect.

Maybe this doesn’t seem like much to Fellow Daoist, but it’s truly out of helplessness for me. Without this choice, my entire life could be overshadowed by Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, losing any chance thereby making the Golden Core hopeless.”

Hearing this, Wen Jiu didn’t want to express his opinion, only wanted to gossip while eating.

But upon hearing Feng Jue say abandoning his sect to him, a Corpse Nurturer, wasn’t much, Wen Jiu was speechless.

Is a Corpse Nurturer that unforgivable?

Could there be a Corpse Nurturer who not only abandoned his sect but also refined all sect members into blood essence to nourish corpses?

From Feng Jue’s demeanor, it really seemed possible!

”Let’s drink, let’s drink.”

Wen Jiu raised his cup.

Forget it.

He should stay out of these Evil Cultivators’ affairs.

Before Feng Jue could speak, Wen Jiu added, ”By the way, Fellow Daoist Feng, let me say beforehand, while I’ve agreed to join forces for Celestial Extinction Ruins, if the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks are truly too difficult to handle, then I’ll just have to apologize.”

”I understand what you mean, Fellow Daoist, don’t worry, besides us, I’ve also invited like-minded individuals to assist.”

Feng Jue replied.

Wen Jiu didn’t ask further, but he had a hunch, it’s likely the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Three Life Gates.

Otherwise, how would they know he wasn’t from Three Life Gates?

”That would be the best.”

Wen Jiu finished his drink and didn’t linger any longer.

Feng Jue didn’t stop him either, sending Wen Jiu out of the house, he drank alone for a while before leaving after a detailed discussion with Blood Eater Daoist and Ku Yue.

Before departing, he took a deep look at Wen Jiu’s dwelling, a meaningful glint flashed in his eyes.

...

Only after Feng Jue had completely left did Wen Jiu start to review Yin Yang Dust’s soul memory.

As expected, Yin Yang Dust’s soul memory indeed contained more detailed information about magic and more information on Three Life Gates.

However, there was still no memory of the sinister aura that suddenly appeared during the first practice of magic, but Wen Jiu had captured an astonishing piece of information from the memory of magic.

Magic is actually True Demon Technique.

Not a Human Race technique.

According to records within Three Life Gates, magic was created by a powerful True Demon, whose strength exceeded Golden Core, even involving the existence of an Undying Undying True Demon, thus another saying of sacrificing life when practicing magic.

The True Demon bestows strength upon cultivators through magic, thus using magic would shorten lifespan, and the purpose of the True Demon creating and leaving magic is to harvest the lives of cultivators, fulfilling its Undying Undying purpose.

This theory is of unknown truth, but based on the unexpected situation during Blood Ink Three Thousand’s first practice, Wen Jiu thinks the magic is undoubtedly complex. In future attempts with Blood Ink Three Thousand, no matter what, he must avoid practicing magic himself.

He must let Blood Ink Three Thousand perform it, if something unexpected happens, let Blood Ink Three Thousand bear it.

After all, Blood Ink Three Thousand can be destroyed and retrained.

It’s just a matter of time.

Apart from that, Yin Yang Dust’s soul memory also contained all his years of practicing magic, especially detailed.

And Yin Yang Dust even spent a large sum within Three Life Gates to exchange for an evil method that is more efficient for lighting the Earth Destiny Star.

Its name is Earth Demon Star Pointing Technique.

If performed after reaching Innate Death Land, the effect is better, if paired with the method to invoke Earthly Evil Yin Qi, the effect can ascend further, though the cost is greater, because it will evoke Innate Earthly Evil Yin Qi.

Innate Earthly Evil Yin Qi reduces life, damages the body, even harms the Spirit Root, which even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot withstand its trauma, and this trauma is irreversible, unrepairable through Elixir Pills or Spiritual Medicine.

In other words, once practiced, magic can succeed but the path is severed.

But for Wen Jiu, it’s as if there’s no side effect, since he has the advantage of being a Corpse Nurturer; being contaminated doesn’t matter. As for Blood Ink Three Thousand, it’s even less of a concern being a zombie.

Does it care about this?

See you tomorrow.]
