Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 301: Chapter 166: All Traps, No Opportunities

If it weren’t for the Demon Soul he devoured confirming that the other party practiced Yin Demonic Qi, he might have truly believed everything was normal.

”Fellow Daoist Han...”

Wen Jiu interrupted Eastern Celestial City’s words, ”I’ve already probed your bodies inside and out with Divine Sense, and found nothing abnormal. However, the Demon Soul at the mountain top is no trivial matter; I need to inject Corpse Qi into you for a detailed investigation to be sure.”

”Then I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Han.” Eastern Celestial City didn’t hesitate and immediately nodded, which left Ye Chen and others somewhat surprised.

The Great Elder actually trusts Han Li so much!

But thinking of Han Li’s power, if he truly wanted to do something to them, would he need to go through so much trouble?

When Eastern Celestial City sat down cross-legged, Wen Jiu immediately remotely mobilized the Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi, sending a wisp of Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi into Eastern Celestial City’s body, and started moving around under the control of the Divine Sense.

Of course, Wen Jiu had no absolute confidence in detecting anything, as this was after all one of the three great Demonic Qis of the Blood Demon Sect, the Yin Demonic Qi. In terms of disguise and concealment, even beyond the Divine Fall Mountain Range, according to the soul memory of the Demon Soul, there seems to be nothing comparable.

But aside from the Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi, he had no other means, so he could only try with the Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi.

Just as Ye Chen and others were anxiously waiting, Wen Jiu’s eyes suddenly lit up after a short while.

”Found it!”

Ye Chen dared not disturb, and only until he saw Wen Jiu’s Corpse Qi wrapped around a grain-sized object, he quickly asked, ”Fellow Daoist Han, what is this? When I scanned it with my Divine Sense, it seemed as if it didn’t exist at all.”

”Yin Demon Seed.”

Wen Jiu didn’t hide it, and after releasing another group of Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi to swallow it, he continued, ”This thing can hide within the Dantian and Dao Foundation, completely merging with them, making it impossible for even the strongest Divine Sense to detect.

And it doesn’t affect cultivation at all, it might even assist you in cultivation. But as your cultivation gradually improves, it will grow continuously in your Dantian, one becomes two, two becomes four...

When they reach a certain number, they will erode your body and memory, turning you into a ’Yin Demon Seed Flower,’ where the Yin Demon Seed becomes the pollen. Anyone who comes into contact with your Magical Power will absorb the Yin Demon Seed into their body.

When they are depleted to just one, you will completely lose consciousness, becoming sustenance for Demon Cultivators, and that final Yin Demon Seed will self-destruct, sacrificing your entire cultivation to the master of the Yin Demon Seed.”

After speaking.

The faces of Eastern Celestial City, Ye Chen, and others all froze.

”This Yin Demon Seed is so insidious!” Eastern Celestial City shuddered, feeling a wave of fear.

Wen Jiu continued, ”The cultivation techniques you obtained are also unusual. Although there appears to be nothing abnormal, they accelerate the growth rate of the Yin Demon Seed, a modified Pseudo-Demon Technique.”

At these words, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel a bit shocked.

If it weren’t for devouring that Demon Cultivator’s soul memory, who would have thought such a thing as the Yin Demon Seed would exist. Even though it once caused havoc across the Divine Fall Mountain Range, who would remember what happened three thousand years ago?

In a past life, perhaps there would have been historians willing to devote themselves to recording these things.

But in this world, all are cultivators, single-minded in their pursuit of the Dao, and those willing to be recorders are usually old cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan. How much can they record? Even if they did record it, who would preserve such things that seem to have no apparent value?

”Fortunately, the Avoidance Technique, Soul Capturing, and Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques worked.” Wen Jiu internally sighed with emotion.

Meanwhile, Eastern Celestial City and the others all showed increasingly gloomy expressions.

”Fellow Daoist Han, please check on my junior brothers as well. After leaving the Celestial Extinction Ruins, there will be a generous reward!” Eastern Celestial City knew Wen Jiu would certainly be willing to help willingly, but he wasn’t an unreasonable young man.

This time if Wen Jiu helped without any expression of thanks, even if Wen Jiu helps again out of old friendship, not many times would pass before the goodwill between Wen Jiu and them would be exhausted.

Once the goodwill is depleted, Wen Jiu would have no reason to help Deadman Peak anymore.

Knowing Wen Jiu’s character, even if bringing Tier Two Spirit Medicine to invite him, there’s a nine in ten chance he cannot be persuaded.

”Hmm.”

Wen Jiu nodded.

Immediately after, Wen Jiu meticulously examined the others with Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi once again.

To his surprise, only Eastern Celestial City, Ye Chen, and the other five had the Yin Demon Seed in their bodies. Those who hadn’t braved through the Three Halls to obtain cultivation techniques did not bear the Yin Demon Seed, and occasionally there were signs of other abnormalities.

Whether something else existed, yet the Absolute Spirit Corpse Qi couldn’t detect it, would depend on fate.

”The Yin Demon Seed has been dealt with. As for the cultivation techniques, you may keep them and practice if you wish.” Based on the information from the Demon Soul’s soul memory, practicing this kind of Pseudo-Demon Technique doesn’t really have side effects, at most one would not truly reach the False Pill or Golden Core Realm.

However, even if one can’t cultivate to False Pill or True Pill, for Eastern Celestial City and the rest, these techniques are still treasures and surpassing them in value is more difficult than reaching the heavens once missed.

Eastern Celestial City quickly raised his hand in salute, ”Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Han, Deadman Peak will never forget this favor.”

Ye Chen and others also quickly saluted in gratitude.

If not for Han Li.

They would likely be in danger.

Furthermore, acquiring cultivation techniques means getting planted with the Yin Demon Seed, so those Spiritual Medicines and Magical Artifacts of Celestial Extinction Mountain must not be simple either.

Had it not been for Han Li’s warning.

They might have already fallen victim.

”This matter is concluded. You can proceed to the exit and wait, but do not leave.” Wen Jiu immediately showed intent to depart, ”After today, there will be no more Han Li at Deadman Peak, take care everyone!”

After speaking.

Wen Jiu performed a Blood Corpse Escape and left directly.

”Fellow Daoist Han—” Ye Chen was shocked, because he hadn’t yet expressed his gratitude, yet in the blink of an eye, Han Li was nowhere to be seen.

With no other choice.

Ye Chen could only bow deeply in the direction where Wen Jiu disappeared.

The others followed suit.

Not rising for a long time.

”Senior Brother, now it seems, those Spiritual Medicines, Magical Artifacts and the like must also have something peculiar...as well as that Five Elements Spirit Liquid Pool and Yin Thunder Pool!” After saluting, Ye Chen spoke with a furrowed brow.

Eastern Celestial City nodded, agreeing deeply but didn’t say much more, just agreed on a unified stance.

Outwardly they said Han Li perished in the Celestial Extinction Ruins, and once more cast a Silencing Spell on everyone.

...

On the East Spring Riverbank.

Back at East Spring River, Wen Jiu continued to carefully examine the soul memory of the Demon Soul, searching for information about Yin Demonic Qi. Unfortunately, even as a fellow sect member, he knew little about Yin Demonic Qi.

However, Wen Jiu did gather some information, indicating that the one on Celestial Extinction Mountain must be a Demon Pill Zhenren of the Blood Demon Sect’s Vice Sect Leader rank. Because only they were qualified to cultivate Yin Demonic Qi.

Soon.

Two days passed.

The Celestial Extinction Ruins began to generate a force of repulsion, and it became increasingly severe, even the East Spring Undying Bone could barely withstand this force, and the East Spring River itself was gradually dwindling.

In a moment, the entire East Spring River disappeared without a trace.

”It’s time to leave.” Wen Jiu put away the Two Corpses and Five Ghosts, quickly flying towards the exit of the Celestial Extinction Ruins.

Upon reaching the exit, over a hundred late-stage Qi Cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, and fewer than twenty remaining Cultivators from Two Sects and Five Peaks had already departed, leaving only the people of Deadman Peak waiting at the exit.

Wen Jiu didn’t stop any of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Cultivators or the Two Sects and Five Peaks Cultivators, nor did he rob them again.

Since their spoils were mostly obtained from Celestial Extinction Mountain, after examining a few closely, Wen Jiu dared not even take a grain from them.

As expected.

Just like what was seen in the Demon Soul’s soul memory, anyone who took items from Celestial Extinction Mountain was corroded by Yin Demonic Qi, their souls already polluted, it wouldn’t take long before they became neither human nor demon.

This is the Yin Demon Soul-Seizing Contract Technique.

Detailed descriptions of this technique were found in the Demon Soul’s soul memory. This technique is a special Demonic Technique. Taking items under this contract is equivalent to willingly offering one’s soul.

Middle-level Practitioners wouldn’t know, and normal Cultivators couldn’t detect it. They wouldn’t spread the Yin Demon Seeds like those bearing them, nor become sustenance for Demon Cultivators. But these practitioners who took items would become the third eye of the Demon Cultivator, their souls constantly under the caster’s control.

Without intervention from a Golden Core Cultivator, breaking it would be impossible.

”This Celestial Extinction Mountain is truly sinister, all traps, where is any opportunity?” Wen Jiu couldn’t help but make a snide remark.
