Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Regarding Xiyue Market, Wen Jiu knows a bit, as Yanposhan, Liu Qianling, and Yin Yang Dust have memories of it.

Why do the three have memories of this small Independent Practitioner Market? It’s because it is the first stop to the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein and the last gathering place for cultivators from the Far West to the Central Shen Yun Mountain Range.

Beyond this point is the Thousand-Mile Wilderness Forest, where even Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivators would face mortal peril.

However, when Wen Jiu arrived at Xiyue Market, he discovered it was different from what Yanposhan remembered.

Gathered here are not only loose cultivators from the Far West, but also quite a few from the Central Shen Yun Mountain Range. More than a dozen flying ships are parked outside the market, and those entering and exiting are all late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he found no fewer than three hundred, including eight Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivators.

This number of late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators, in the absence of Foundation Establishment, is sufficient to contend with the entire Far West.

”Could these all be disciples of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks?”

So many late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners, if they all came for the Celestial Extinction Ruins, then what role do Two Sects and Six Peaks play?

Suddenly.

Feng Jue’s icy voice transmitted over.

”Fellow Daoist Han, for centuries Three Sects and Six Peaks fought over sixty Celestial Extremity Black Swords, with tens of thousands of cultivators dying. But now, with Celestial Extinction Mountain opening, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks suddenly has hundreds of Celestial Extremity Black Swords.

The so-called Celestial Extremity Black Sword as a rare item was a lie from the start! This time, Two Sects and Six Peaks plan to annihilate our Moon Extreme Sect and reward each with five Celestial Extremity Black Swords. Yet, seeing nearly three hundred Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks cultivators each holding a Celestial Extremity Black Sword makes me feel sorry for all those who sacrificed.

Fellow Daoist Han, such a sect, should it be destroyed? Is it worthy of our allegiance for hundreds of years?”

Wen Jiu’s divine sense instantly locked onto Feng Jue in the market tavern.

A Blood Corpse Escape passed through the market’s restriction and entered the tavern suite, established a sound insulation barrier, then raised his hand to greet, ”Fellow Daoist Feng.”

Wen Jiu had little interest in lamenting along with Feng Jue, because resources are always controlled by the strong.

Lamenting over this is a bit superficial.

Feng Jue still stood coldly by the window, looking at the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks disciples outside, ”Fellow Daoist Han, shall we kill them all? Three hundred late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners should sustain Corpse Nourishing for a while.”

”That’s an additional price.”

Wen Jiu bluntly refused.

He didn’t want to kill Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks disciples; what if some had late-stage Foundation Establishment practitioners behind them?

A Soul Seal hit, and even if he discarded the Han Li alias, he wouldn’t live in peace.

Not even for a Tier Two Yin Evil Spirit Medicine would Wen Jiu agree.

Upon hearing Wen Jiu’s response, Feng Jue turned his head with a helpless laugh, ”Forget it; we’ll use the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array later... Fellow Daoist, please sit, let’s have a few more drinks, and head to Celestial Extinction Yin Vein after nightfall.”

”Isn’t Celestial Extinction Yin Vein supposed to open in a few days?” If Yin Yang Dust’s memory is correct, the restrictions around Celestial Extinction Yin Vein open two days later; even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot enter before then.

Feng Jue explained, ”During that time, they will completely seal the path into Celestial Extinction Yin Vein, preventing any outsider cultivators and only allowing forces under Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks near. To silently set up the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array, we have to enter Celestial Extinction Yin Vein from another side, so more time is needed.”

”Another side?”

”Under Celestial Extinction Yin Vein lies a large amount of Celestial Extremity Yin Water. Not only Qi Refining Cultivators, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators dare not touch it! But rest assured, Fellow Daoist Shankui has provided a Tier Two Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, crafted by Wusheng Three Gates specifically to counter Celestial Extremity Yin Water, allowing us safe passage.”

Wen Jiu nodded.

But his thoughts focused on Celestial Extremity Yin Water, quickly flipping through Yin Yang Dust’s soul memories for information.

Yet, Yin Yang Dust knew little, only that Celestial Extremity Yin Water is formed from yin energy within Celestial Extinction Yin Vein. Extremely yin and cold, it causes severe damage to a cultivator’s spirit body and can corrode most worldly items.

Wen Jiu further inquired to Feng Jue, and Feng Jue merely shook his head to indicate he didn’t know, though whether it was truly unknown or deliberately unsaid was uncertain.

Soon.

Night fell over the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

Feng Jue put down his wine glass, activated a Tier One Top-Grade Yin Talisman, then vanished into the night.

Suddenly darting past Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks disciples’ flying ships and passing through the area of Qi Cultivation Perfection Cultivators, no one sensed anything amiss. Moments later, Wen Jiu followed Feng Jue with a Blood Corpse Escape, into the dense forest.

After flying ten miles forward, nocturnal demon beasts began to appear, though they were merely ordinary first-rank middle-grade demon beasts, so they were insignificant. But the further they flew, the more numerous the demon beasts became.

In just ten miles, Wen Jiu sensed over a hundred first-rank middle-grade demon beasts, densely populated enough to be somewhat abnormal.

As the entrance to Celestial Extinction Yin Vein drew nearer, the number of demon beasts increased even more.

Clearly.

They were drawn here.

Regarding this, Wen Jiu was not surprised; Yanposhan’s soul memories contained related information.

Before the Celestial Extinction Ruins opened, there would gather more and more demon beasts. In the past century, tens of thousands gathered because Celestial Extinction Yin Vein was also nourishing to demon beasts.

The Celestial Extinction Ruins is an opportunity for Human Race cultivators, but also for demon beasts, which is why they attack Human Race cultivators over Celestial Extinction Yin Vein.

This is one reason why Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks disciples guard the various entrances, as even though they are all late-stage Qi Cultivation, they cannot withstand thousands of demon beasts alone, and must wait for the restrictions to open.
