Chapter 491: Chapter 251: Corpse Fate Technique Advances, Three Golden Cores Approaching
Since there was no substantial loss, the Yin Technique, corpse energy, and ghost energy could slowly be replenished, and if the total amount was insufficient, one could simply enhance their cultivation to manage the vast amount of corpse energy needed for divination results.
"From the memories of a Yin Yang Cultivator, it’s certain that Life Techniques cannot be so powerful; only the Corpse Fate Technique can achieve this."
Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel a secret joy.
This Corpse Fate Technique was simply too advantageous for someone like him who liked to hide in the shadows as Old Six.
In the future, he wouldn’t have to step outside.
Yet he could perceive everything under the heavens.
This feeling was simply too exhilarating.
With this method, once he becomes powerful in cultivation, he could cultivate his forces, secretly groom confidants, and control everything invisibly.
"When I first arrived, my goal was merely longevity... But now I find that my ambitions are growing; I even start to want to be someone who controls everything behind the scenes." At this moment, Wen Jiu felt a bit sentimental.
Indeed.
People grow.
And they change.
The next morning.
After many days, Wen Jiu stepped out of the cave dwelling, glanced at Mu Chang’an, and checked the cultivation progress of his sister Wen Ya.
Originally intending to visit Feng Jue, but since Feng Jue wasn’t home, Wen Jiu had to go see Chen Li and his wife instead.
Cultivation was tedious.
One always needed to chat with someone and relieve stress.
As his own power increased, although he only displayed the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, combined with Feng Jue’s status elevation, Chen Li and his wife were evidently less relaxed in their interactions with him than at the beginning.
They became more cautious with their words and actions, and there were more words of flattery. However, Wen Jiu didn’t mind, for the further down the path of cultivation one went, the more it would be like this. To have a friend to talk to in this way was enough; if it couldn’t be a close friend for mutual jests, Wen Jiu didn’t care. On the contrary, Wen Jiu didn’t want friends like that.
Because he couldn’t trust anyone but himself, not even his own sister Wen Ya.
After all, this isn’t a game.
This is real life.
...
That morning.
Wen Jiu was eating the meals his sister Wen Ya brought him, listening to her talk about the recent interesting stories from the Outer Market of the Little Demon Realm, when his Divine Sense instantly sensed the Golden Core aura from three thousand miles away.
It wasn’t just one.
But three auras.
Wen Jiu immediately controlled the Three Thousand Blood Inks within the cave dwelling to calculate, uncovering the identities of these three people, who were the Masters of the Three Gates from the Jue Ying Sect, Yin Kui Sect, and Hidden Kill Sect. Their flight paths clearly indicated they were heading towards the Little Demon Realm.
"What do they want?" Wen Jiu immediately examined the life fate veins behind the three, accurately identifying their reason for coming here.
The main purpose was to see him.
To be precise, it was to see Du the Corpse Cultivator, who was actually East Spring Undying Bone in disguise.
The secondary purpose was to threaten Pei Wuxing, with intentions also beneath the Evil God Grotto Heaven.
As for other motives, the life fate involved was too profound, entailing the Blood Demon Sect and also the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. The Three Thousand Blood Inks, after exhausting its corpse energy, could only divine up to the purpose of the three coming here.
But this was enough.
"The more powerful the Three Thousand Blood Inks, the deeper the life fate veins it can calculate," Wen Jiu didn’t pay much attention to the three and continued eating.
Because compared with Master Jue Ying, these three were far inferior.
In other words.
Even if the three came together.
Wen Jiu wouldn’t be afraid now.
But for such matters, having Pei Wuxing stand in front is fine. It’s none of his business as for meeting him.
Seeing them is fine.
There must be a greeting gift.
Corpse Nourishing and Ghost Cultivation can rely on daily settlements in the Little Demon Realm, but some resources can’t be gained by lying still.
For example, nurturing a Ghost-faced Butcher, or an Earth Demon, or accelerating the cultivation of the Three Corpses, all require Flower Spirit Stones.
Where do Spirit Stones come from?
That’s obviously from taking the wealth of the rich!
Meanwhile, Feng Jue was reporting the affairs of the Little Demon Realm to the Hidden Pavilion while consulting about whom to challenge next. Recently, the Sea Cultivators from Celestial Demon Sea enjoyed challenging the Golden Core True Inheritors, intentionally or otherwise, with mixed results, but no matter how it went, losing put the Wind and Cloud Immortal City to shame.
So Feng Jue actively took the lead, starting to challenge those Sea Cultivators who won against Golden Core True Inheritors. He even challenged late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, winning with his middle-stage Foundation Establishment power against late-stage, which happened more than three times, truly making people’s spirits rise.
As a result, Feng Jue received a lot of cultivation resources as rewards, temporarily putting aside the assassination bounty issue.
"Master brother, recently, a Golden Core True Inheritor from the Yin Kui Sect named Zuo Xin Kui arrived at the Little Demon Realm, having just entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but his strength far exceeded that of many veteran late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Since they enjoy challenging our Wind and Cloud Immortal City’s Golden Core True Inheritors, I’ve decided to challenge him first and expel him from the Little Demon Realm."
Feng Jue resolutely spoke.
Daoist Wei slightly frowned, for he had heard of Zuo Xin Kui, who was one of the few true disciples of Yin Kui Sect Leader Mo Palace, strong in power. Just when he was in closed-door cultivation, Zuo Xin Kui challenged a late-stage Foundation Establishment wanderer into the Little Demon Realm, hoping he would settle down once inside. Unexpectedly, he began repeatedly challenging the Wind and Cloud Immortal City’s Honored Guest Elders.
Of course.
It wasn’t inside the Little Demon Realm, because outsiders couldn’t challenge Honored Guest Elders within the Little Demon Realm.
So he made his move outside the Little Demon Realm, often attracting cultivators from the Wusheng Three Gates to watch the battles.
Now the Far South has fallen into the hands of the Wusheng Three Gates, and though Daoist Wei felt displeased, he was helpless.
Seeing Daoist Wei hesitate, Feng Jue continued, "Master brother, it’s time to cut their arrogance, otherwise our situation will only get more difficult. Now cultivators from the Celestial Demon Sea are coming to the Divine Fall Mountain Range continuously, and a large part of the safe territory originally promised to us has been occupied by Sea Loose Cultivators. If we don’t cut back their smugness, more and more cultivators will come to provoke us in the Little Demon Realm."
"It’s fine if you win, but if you lose, it won’t just be your face that’s lost; it will make those Sea Cultivators even more arrogant." Daoist Wei reminded without rejecting Feng Jue’s proposal.
"I have the certainty of winning."
Feng Jue resolutely spoke.
"Alright, as our Wind and Cloud Immortal City recently acquired an additional Golden Core Zhenren to hold the fort, it’s time to strike back." Daoist Wei pondered briefly before suddenly rising up, "Then you’ll be the one to deliver this blow; I just want one result—win. If you win, you can cultivate in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven for three months."
"Thank you, master brother."
Feng Jue was delighted.
Recently, the Wind and Cloud Immortal City had been laying low, not issuing large bounties, and with no substantial Immortal City Contribution Points coming in, entering the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven was off the table. He was worried about this when Daoist Wei made such a promise.
If he could go to the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven again, he had the confidence to make a significant leap in his cultivation.
Could further shorten the time needed for a Realm Breakthrough.
Perhaps within a year, he could reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
If he reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the peak and the Golden Core wouldn’t be far off.
When he left the Hidden Pavilion, Feng Jue headed straight to Lengxi Mountain, intending to find Han Li for a calculation, to see Zuo Xin Kui’s true strength. Once confirmed, he could prepare accordingly to ensure everything would be foolproof.
"Brother Han!"
Returning to Lengxi Mountain, Feng Jue shouted from afar, seeing Wen Jiu eating outside the old pavilion and quickly flew over.
Wen Ya hurriedly stepped aside.
Wen Jiu glanced at Feng Jue, "Early in the morning, what are you yelling for, did you bring the Blood Corpse Mushroom?"
"Uh... There’s no Blood Corpse Mushroom today, but I do want to ask Brother Han for a favor; I promise to bring Blood Corpse Mushroom next time." Feng Jue smiled awkwardly and, without any courtesy, sat down to scrutinize the gourmet laid on the table.
Wen Jiu paused.
Audacious?
This Feng Jue truly was treating him less like an outsider, already bold enough to make such promises.
But Wen Jiu didn’t mind, perhaps his relationship with Feng Jue was getting closer.
Having such a friend as Feng Jue wasn’t bad.
But he wondered if Feng Jue could keep it up once he knew his true cultivation and strength.
Collecting his thoughts, Wen Jiu did not immediately inquire what Feng Jue wanted but rather focused on the area outside the Little Demon Realm.
Because the three were now only within a five hundred mile range of the Little Demon Realm, Elder Qiu, with his pseudo-core cultivation, should be able to sense it. Sure enough, the next moment, Elder Qiu transformed into a Startled Swan, soaring straight into the clouds.
Following Wen Jiu’s gaze, Feng Jue also witnessed this scene, his face congealed, and the words at his mouth froze.
