Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

He is a thorough heterodox tribulation cultivator.

But the remaining two at the early stage of Foundation Establishment are not. The techniques they practice aren’t purely heterodox, and they exude the heavier aura of a regular Qi Refining Cultivator. Evidently, they are absolutely not members of the Three Life Gates.

Cultivation values purity; the heterodox technique and the Qi Cultivation Dao should not be confused. Once confused, it becomes something unrecognizable.

The Qi cultivation techniques aren’t strong.

Nor are the heterodox techniques.

The only advantage is the fast cultivation speed.

”Fellow Daoist Shankui, pardon me for not welcoming you from afar, please forgive me.” Feng Jue raised his hand in salute, and then saluted the other two.

”Fellow Daoist Yang.”

”Fellow Daoist Wang.”

The man and woman raised their hands in response.

The elder cultivator, Shankui, looked at Feng Jue with appreciation and said with a smile, ”Fellow Daoist Feng is truly bold, worthy of being favored by our Three Life Gates... Once the Two Sects and Six Peaks have eradicated your Moon Extreme Sect and completely severed your past, your Heartless Blood Pill Technique will achieve minor success.”

”Thank you for bestowing the technique, Fellow Daoist.” Feng Jue responded with gratitude but didn’t say much.

Shankui inquired, ”What about the Corpse Nurturer cultivating the Yinzhou Heterodox Record?”

”He will arrive in two days.” Feng Jue honestly replied.

”It’s truly surprising, to be honest. When you mentioned Foundation Establishment during a tribulation, it not only shocked me but also amazed the Golden Core Elders in the sect... It’s been so many years, yet someone has finally succeeded in External Foundation Establishment using the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.” Shankui sighed with emotion, ”If we can recruit him into the Three Life Gates, it will also be a great contribution... Fellow Daoist Feng Jue, it will be a great contribution for you too!”

”But that fellow Daoist may not necessarily join the Three Life Gates.” Feng Jue spoke truthfully and revealed the necessity of making a Heavenly Dao Oath, ”At that time, I hope Fellow Daoist Shan will not take offense or be anxious...”

Shankui nodded, ”It’s just a Heavenly Dao Oath, and besides, I was never planning to harm him anyway. Being able to use the Yinzhou Heterodox Record for External Foundation Establishment with a Blood Evil Foundation Establishment makes him a seedling for the Earth Spirit Yin Pill!”

”Earth Spirit Yin Pill?”

”One of the Ten Heretical Pills, those who can form it are extremely rare. Its rarity far exceeds what is called the Ten Great Heterodox Foundation Establishment. Even within the Three Life Gates, there isn’t a single Earth Spirit Yin Pill in existence.

It’s said that a Golden Core Zhenren who has formed this Earth Spirit Yin Pill can descend to the Yellow Springs and ascend to explore the Nine Netherworlds. As long as the Yin Soul is not extinguished, they can reincarnate and rebuild their cultivation. But these are just legends, and the truth of them is unknown.

However, even if it is true, it can only be done by joining our Three Life Gates. If he continues to remain in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, he’ll only become someone else’s stepping stone.”

Feng Jue was stunned, ”Become someone else’s stepping stone?”

”Some things can only be told to him, you can’t know.” Shankui didn’t explain further and stepped inside.

After entering, Shankui promptly ordered eighteen young women to accompany him with drinks, and from then on, did not leave the room.

Of course.

Those eighteen young women did not come out either.

...

Upon hearing the phrase ’become someone else’s stepping stone’, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but be more curious.

Glancing at the old and young duo sleeping on the straw mat and nearby tea table, Wen Jiu took out a Spirit Stone and infused it with Spiritual Qi to nourish their bodies, meanwhile checking if either had Spirit Roots.

Unfortunately.

They didn’t even have inferior Spirit Roots.

In other words, they’re destined to toil away in the mundane world, perhaps not knowing when they might meet their end.

However, with Spiritual Qi nourishing them, even if they can’t become cultivators, in the future, they can at least become a martial artist.

Become a feared bandit.

Or take another path.

It’s up to that young man’s own choice.

After finishing all this, Wen Jiu left directly without entering the city.

After wandering outside the city for two days, on the third day, Wen Jiu used Divine Sense to contact Feng Jue inside the city.

”Fellow Daoist, you can make the Heavenly Dao Oath now. Once it’s made, I’ll enter the city.”

Feng Jue was pleased, and after his Divine Sense swept outside without discovering Wen Jiu’s trace, he quickly went to knock on the other three’s doors.

After conveying Wen Jiu’s words faithfully, Shankui also extended his Divine Sense, but did not detect Wen Jiu.

”Truly worthy of being a Corpse Nurturer who performs External Foundation Establishment, indeed extraordinary, even makes this old man somewhat envious.”

After Shankui sighed with emotion, he didn’t dwell on it, and immediately made the Heavenly Dao Oath, absolutely not to harm Wen Jiu.

Feng Jue and the other two also took the oath in succession.

After seeing the three of them finish taking the oath, only then did Wen Jiu enter the city, performing a Blood Corpse Escape to enter the Celestial Fragrance Tower where the trio were.

When Wen Jiu and his Three Evil Flying Corpses appeared, Feng Jue immediately raised his hand in greeting, and then remarked, ”Fellow Daoist Han, you are truly cautious... This is Fellow Daoist Shankui from the Three Life Gates.

This is Fellow Daoist Yang, a Foundation Establishment Wanderer from the Far North; this charming and gentle personality is fellow Daoist Wang from the central region of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. We’re here together to seek the opportunity at the Celestial Extinction Ruins.”

Wen Jiu saluted the few, ”Fellow Daoist Shan, Fellow Daoist Yang, Fellow Daoist Wang.”

”Fellow Daoist Han, let’s go inside with me to talk in detail; it was my idea to have Fellow Daoist Feng bring you here.” Shankui made a gesture of invitation, ”Although I don’t know how you obtained the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, I presume you must be quite curious why it was bestowed to Deadman Peak.”

Shankui was sure Wen Jiu didn’t know.

Otherwise, why come?

Wen Jiu nodded and immediately followed Shankui into a private room.

After entering, Shankui immediately set up a Sound Insulation Barrier, then sighed, ”It’s not that I intend to scare you, my fellow Daoist, but fortunately your use of the Yinzhou Heterodox Record for External Foundation Establishment hasn’t been discovered by the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.”

”What do you mean by this?” Wen Jiu inquired, puzzled.

Shankui was straightforward, and directly said, ”Because the whole thing with Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks giving the Yinzhou Heterodox Record to its vassals is a deception from start to finish. If you don’t believe me, I am willing to take a Heavenly Dao Oath.”

”A deception?”

”Indeed, don’t be misled into thinking that Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks suppresses the heterodox path just like that. Actually, it only suppresses the heterodox paths outside of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. It’s because the Golden Core Ancestor of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks is actually a heterodox cultivator as well… He also practices the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, but the complete one.

The complete Yinzhou Heterodox Record can condense an Earth Spirit Yin Pill, the Yin Soul doesn’t perish, reincarnation and re-cultivation is possible, but most importantly, it can seize another’s body. Even if he seizes the body of an average cultivator, he’d have to start his cultivation anew.

Even if the Spirit Root of the seized body is strong, it would be difficult to surpass his peak state, at most he could live a few hundred more years. But if he seizes someone practicing the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, it’s different, not only can he quickly regain his peak, but he can even aspire to surpass the Golden Core.

You are currently the only cultivator in the Divine Fall Mountain Range in a hundred years to have practiced External Foundation Establishment with the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.

So if the ancestor of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks finds out, my fellow Daoist, you might be in danger.”

Wen Jiu looked at Shankui with skepticism, ”Why are you telling me this?”

If it’s true.

The ancestor of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks has ulterior motives.

Then the Three Life Gates doesn’t?

He doesn’t believe it.

Shankui laughed and said, ”Naturally, it’s the instruction of the Golden Core Elders in my sect. A heterodox cultivator who has performed External Foundation Establishment with the Yinzhou Heterodox Record can, as long as nothing unexpected happens, aspire to become a Golden Core and form an Earth Spirit Yin Pill.

He could become the leader of a sect within the Three Life Gates.

If you’re willing, the Golden Core in my sect will groom you as a successor. In the future, you may choose any one of the three gates to lead. My Three Life Gates with its millions of cultivators will follow at your command!

By then, gathering the strength of the entire sect, perhaps it might be possible to aspire beyond the Golden Core.”

Wen Jiu smiled silently, poured a cup of wine, ”Fellow Daoist, drink, sometimes this mortal wine has its own particular flavor.”

”Are you skeptical of my words?”

Shankui’s face tensed.

Wen Jiu smiled awkwardly.

Did you notice?

To be honest.

Look at what you’ve said.

Who could believe it?

Who would dare believe it?

If I didn’t know you were just at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, someone might think you’re an esteemed Golden Core Cultivator.

”Never mind if you don’t believe, but let me warn you, Fang Xiaolin and others are investigating your situation. If anyone brings up the Thunder Tribulation, it would be hard not to think of the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.” Shankui warned heavily, ”Currently, the Golden Core Ancestor of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks is nearing his lifespan’s end, and you are his only chance for revitalizing Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks for another thousand years… So when making your decision, be cautious and prudent.”
