School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 2172: Chapter 2258: Lord of Corpse Control

Chen Nan vaguely guessed something, but he was somewhat reluctant to believe it.

Looking at the suddenly appearing old man, Chen Nan pondered slightly, ”Senior, could you be the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, Mo Chenzi?”

Tonight, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect invited him to visit, but after being refused, there had been no development. Now this powerful figure appears, which is very likely.

”I am indeed Mo Chenzi. Chen Nan, you are quite clever, and your strength is not bad. You even slew the Fire Poison Ancestor. However, such cleverness is just a small path; what the Five Sects value more is the Great Way.”

Seeing doubt in Chen Nan’s eyes, Mo Chenzi’s gaze flashed with scorn, ”Any elder of the Five Sects could wipe out the Fire Poison Ancestor and his followers, but he lived until now mainly because he could be a scapegoat for many dark deeds of the Five Sects, and he is well aware of this.”

Having acted, Chen Nan would not let a few words from others affect his mood, ”So that’s how it is, but I find him unpleasant, so I killed him.”

Mo Chenzi hadn’t expected him to be so carefree, raising an eyebrow, ”Your Divine Soul cannot bear the flesh, and you will die within seven days. However, at the Heavenly Corpse Sect, I will not let you die just like that; I can give you an opportunity.”

Seeing Chen Nan’s boldness, he understood there was no advantage in further conversation, so he straightforwardly went to the main topic.

”Grand Elder Mo, I’d rather not be given an opportunity, let me perish here on my own,”

Chen Nan glanced at Mo Chenzi coldly, remaining calm.

”You...”

Mo Chenzi extended a hand and grabbed Chen Nan, ”You prefer punishment over a favor; do you know what the consequences are? It doesn’t matter if you die, but it affects the reputation of our Heavenly Corpse Sect.”

Chen Nan sneered inwardly; this old man pretends to control everything, deliberately mentioning the killing of the Fire Poison Ancestor, yet evidently unaware of the truth, including the involvement of Tianshu Zi and the Fire Poison Ancestor.

The visit to the Heavenly Corpse Sect was initially for Su Qingqing’s matters, though his own body also had problems. However, Chen Nan was not overly worried.

The runes on the Bronze Fragment were quite extraordinary.

If the Abyss Divine Tree could refine those runes, it would definitely aid in restoring his Divine Soul, though Chen Nan does not know how long that will take.

In the meantime, he needs to placate the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

”Alright, tell me what you have in mind,” Chen Nan smiled.

”Tonight is the full moon night; at midnight, the Taiyin Energy gathers, which is the moment when the power of our Eight Great Elders of the Heavenly Corpse Sect reaches its peak. At that time, we will activate the Dragon-breaking Stone and send you into the Heavenly Pillar Peak. You will break the seal inside to release our Sect Master, the Lord of Corpse Control. Then, your issue and the matter concerning Miss Qingqing will be minor.”

Mo Chenzi said solemnly.

”Previously, Eight Elders asked me to awaken your Sect Master, now it seems it’s not as simple as said, the seal... what’s the situation?”

Chen Nan had long suspected a fishy situation, now listening to these details, it seems far more complicated than he thought.

The Lord of Corpse Control wasn’t in seclusion but rather sealed.

The Dragon-breaking Stone was evidently not simple either, likely the second barrier after the seal was breached, hence requiring the combined effort of the Eight Elders, and only opening when the Taiyin Energy gathers.

”Did your Sect Master experience Deviation during cultivation or become a Evil Demon?” Chen Nan asked, as throughout history, there were generally a few reasons for seals.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect being such a sinister place, for the Sect Master to have gone berserk and massacred, then be sealed, seems quite normal.

However, the Jade Scroll obtained by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion today had no record of this matter, clearly suggesting either the Heavenly Corpse Sect is deliberately concealing it, or there are other reasons.

Indeed, Mo Chenzi’s following words solved Chen Nan’s confusion in an instant.

”Approximately three thousand years ago, the Lord of Corpse Control used Ancient Secret Techniques to refine an ultimate Heavenly Corpse King. That Heavenly Corpse King was powerful, helping him triumph in the Sect Master selection battle of that era.”

Mo Chenzi’s eyes harbored a reminiscence of bygone times, a period clearly making him yearn deeply.

”The Sect Master was a millennial corpse refining prodigy, and even after becoming a Sect Master, he did not give up on pursuing methods to refine a stronger Heavenly Corpse King. Eventually, he discovered a corpse of the Asura Clan in a death-land of the Outer Domain. This Asura corpse contained terrifying murderous intent, and this murderous intent perpetually restored the Asura’s Residual Soul. The Sect Master was thrilled, intent on refining the strongest Heavenly Corpse King...”

Speaking of this, Mo Chenzi’s expression changed, ”The Sect Master’s original plan was to use the body of the Asura Clan to refine the Heavenly Corpse King. Once a Heavenly Corpse King was achieved, the prohibition could be opened, allowing the slow revival of the Residual Soul from the Asura Path. At that time, the unparalleled killing and defensive Heavenly Corpse King, plus the restored true Spiritual Wisdom, would emerge as the strongest Heavenly Corpse King in the world.”

At his most impassioned, Mo Chenzi clenched both fists, fingertips piercing the palms, with blood dripping to the ground.

”Refining a Heavenly Corpse requires destroying the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, to achieve a Heavenly Corpse King, but even with Spiritual Wisdom, the incomplete Divine Soul cannot exert the strongest combat power, and many Heavenly Dao constraints exist; thus the Lord of Corpse Control was willing to take risks!” Chen Nan analyzed.

Mo Chenzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, ”You are indeed correct, enlightened by the Sect Master, we understood this truth. Unexpectedly, even an outsider like you...”

”And then, what transpired?” Chen Nan asked, sensing for the first time that Mo Chenzi was speaking truthfully.

Since he had encountered Asura warriors on Star Moon Slope, on that planet were countless Asura corpses, origins unknown, which would seize vitality and revive if any living being arrived.

If it were him, he would never act as the Lord of Corpse Control did, because although the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s members understood corpse refining well, evidently they lacked comprehension of the Asura Clan.

The Asura Clan, upon reaching adulthood, awakens the Asura Path, a unique killing Dao Law unparalleled both in heaven and earth, extremely terrifying.

In the Ghost Mist Forest, a witch named Hua Guzi executed the Asura Killing Dao. Had he not frightened her with the Bodhisattva Mantra, his end would be grave indeed.

Upon maturity awakening, once the Divine Soul of the Asura King reaches a certain level, the Asura Path would inevitably awaken as well. If the killing intent in the Asura Path grows strong enough, the control of the Divine Soul Mark would be shattered...

Chen Nan pondered in his heart but did not voice it.

Mo Chenzi’s face showed a hint of pain, ”After the Sect Master entered the Heavenly Pillar Peak, a most terrifying event occurred...”
