Chapter 490: Chapter 251: Corpse Fate Technique Advances, Three Golden Cores Approaching Completion
"Behind us stands the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. Although some matters are not openly displayed, the large forces of the Lifeless Abyss must have heard of them. They dare not intervene, so this person is most likely from the West Mountain Floating Domain, or a Golden Core Wanderer from the Lifeless Abyss... But why come neither sooner nor later, and why come exactly at this time?" The Sect Leader of the Hidden Kill Sect crossed his arms, stroking his beard thoughtfully.
The Sect Leader of the Jue Ying Sect nodded in deep thought, "Indeed, why come neither sooner nor later, and why now?"
"We might as well first probe. We know what kind of characters corpse cultivators are across the world. It’s unlikely he’s here to help Wind and Cloud Immortal City resist our Lifeless Three Gates. So, it’s most likely for personal gain. If it’s for gain, no matter what Wind and Cloud Immortal City offers, we can offer double."
Mo Palace, the Sect Leader of the Yin Kui Sect, slowly spoke, finalizing the intention. His gaze swept over the two, and seeing no look of disagreement, he satisfactorily withdrew his gaze. These two old fellows often joined forces to oppose him, but feeling the powerful threat of the outsider corpse cultivator, they ceased their antics.
That’s just as well.
Mo Palace continued, "Since you have no objections, we will report this to the Master of the Three Gates and make a decision. Although we cannot go to Wind and Cloud Immortal City, we can force Pei Wuxing to invite the corpse cultivator to the Little Demon Realm."
"Shall we go to the Little Demon Realm together?"
"I think it’s feasible. Let’s also show those heterodox wanderers in the Little Demon Realm who the real master of this land will be in the future."
The Sect Leaders of the Jue Ying Sect and the Hidden Kill Sect responded successively.
"The Master of the Three Gates suspects that the Blood Demon Sect’s remnants are hidden in the Little Demon Realm. We can slowly pressure them and further test Pei Wuxing’s limits. It’s said that there is a place called the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven in the Little Demon Realm. If we can force Pei Wuxing to let us see inside, we might provide an explanation to the Master of the Three Gates and the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect."
"This is the best opportunity. If we can attract that corpse cultivator to our side, though we can’t fight Pei Wuxing to the death, we can find a way to force him to retreat another step."
The two continued.
Watching from the side, Mo Palace did not refute them. Because he also suspected the Blood Demon Sect’s remnants were hidden in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven. Last time, they almost broke in, but unfortunately, Pei Wuxing blocked their way.
Pei Wuxing’s strength should not be underestimated. Even if the three joined forces, they dared not claim a certain kill. Moreover, Wind and Cloud Immortal City has significant connections with Qi Guang Sect, and arbitrarily starting a battle could complicate matters if Qi Guang Sect intervenes.
Furthermore, with the great war just beginning, if a Golden Core battle erupts, the consequences are unpredictable. To secure a prosperous cultivation land filled with future and hope for the Lifeless Three Gates, they could only retreat.
But the arrival of the outsider corpse cultivator presented them with a new opportunity and reason.
...
Little Demon Realm.
In three days, with the aid of the East Spring Undying Bone, Three Thousand Blood Inks successfully refined twenty-five Tier Two Top-Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms, reaching Tier Two Upper Realm. After reaching this realm, the corpse energy increased several-fold.
Because of the presence of the Blood Evil Dao Foundation, even at just Tier Two Upper Realm, the total corpse energy within Three Thousand Blood Inks could rival East Spring Undying Bone at Tier Two Peak, which was somewhat exaggerated.
Of course.
Aside from boosting the total corpse energy, this advancement wasn’t significantly meaningful, as the Corpse Fate Technique could draw compensation from the Five Ghosts and the other two corpse components when the corpse energy was insufficient during divination.
The greatest benefit from the advancement of Three Thousand Blood Inks’ realm was the change in the divination effects of the Corpse Fate Technique.
Even though the Corpse Fate Technique was still only at a minor success level, the corpse energy required for divining a Golden Core level entity had significantly decreased.
Simultaneously, the Life Fate Veins presented in the Dark Realm were a lot clearer. The things or people being divined, who invisibly added weighty life fates, thus increasing the difficulty of divination, were now evident in the Dark Realm at a glance, eliminating the need to carefully inspect over time.
Moreover, the view became clearer and deeper. For instance, when further divining the Yin Sha Evil Spirit in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, deeper interwoven connections behind it became evident—the previously extremely vague information about the Blood Demon Hall now confirmed it indeed was a hall of the Blood Demon Sect.
More precisely, it was one of the Three Halls.
This point was something Wen Jiu had already seen in the soul memory of the Demon Soul, but now seeing it through the Corpse Fate Technique carried a completely different significance. He couldn’t always possess the key figures’ souls to obtain the relevant memories.
But with the Corpse Fate Technique, he could perform divinations to see more detailed related information.
Even exceptionally ancient lost information, the kind not present in the soul memories of cultivators.
"In this way, doesn’t it mean the stronger Three Thousand Blood Inks becomes, the stronger the Corpse Fate Technique also becomes? If it reaches Golden Core or above the Golden Core level, could a single divination reveal everything...
For instance, the true intent behind those continuously spreading Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Techniques related to the Blood Corpse Mushrooms; and divining a great force, directly using the Corpse Fate Technique to unveil the mysterious forces lurking behind the scenes, even seeing their purposes. If he becomes strong enough, he might even see what’s behind the behind."
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu suddenly felt that the power of the Corpse Fate Technique somewhat exceeded his imagination.
Although observing the results of such divinations would require an immense amount of corpse energy, Wen Jiu needed not to concern himself with it. Even if the Five Ghosts, four corpse components, including himself, were exhausted, it wouldn’t matter.
