Chapter 515: Chapter 263: The Truth Behind the Demonic Conception Method and Lu Chan’s Resolve
After divining with the Corpse Fate Technique to confirm that Lu Chan was still alive, Wen Jiu felt at ease controlling the East Spring Undying Bone, heading straight for East Pole Immortal City. To be cautious, Wen Jiu concealed the East Spring Undying Bone’s cultivation to the Fake Pill Realm.
All the way towards East Pole Immortal City, they had flown only about a thousand miles out when they saw numerous large Tier Three Flying Ships rushing by, fully loaded with the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army, numbering about a hundred thousand.
This contingent differed from the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army seen earlier in East Pole Immortal City; their armor was more refined, and their presence fiercer, clearly warriors experienced in life and death battles.
Besides, Wen Jiu also noticed familiar members of the Lu Family; among them were the Lu Family’s Great Elder and Lu Shouren. However, leading them was not these two, but the Lu Family’s oldest and strongest ancestor at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.
Lu Feng.
It was evident; the Lu Family was coming for him.
After this incident, the Lu Family, despite their naivety, would surely come to realize that he had used them during his Core Formation.
As for the Lu Family, Wen Jiu felt no guilt at all. The Lu Family wanted him to serve them for life, expecting great returns, which was a scheme; he desired the Lu Family’s Yin Vein, which was also a scheme. In this game of chess, the loser should accept the outcome.
As for the favor owed to Lu Chan, saving her life this time could be considered as partially repaying it.
If they meet again in the future, lending a hand out of convenience wouldn’t be impossible, but he must no longer do so under the identity of Li Bai.
Because upon seeing the Land of Absolute Spirit, sixteen thousand zhang long and a hundred li wide, at the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion, it’s likely that they would fully investigate Li Bai’s whereabouts. Whether to eliminate or utilize him, both are possibilities.
After all, the harm caused by the Land of Absolute Spirit is evidently no lesser than if the West Mountain Floating Domain were transformed into a Demon Realm.
Moreover, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect at their dark altars within the West Mountain Floating Domain would likely vigorously investigate him as well, searching for all clues related to Li Bai. The Lu Family would be at the forefront, but fortunately, the Lu Family would undoubtedly keep the secret tightly.
After all, the matter concerns not just Li Bai but the entire Lu Family’s black market chain.
The Lu Family, not wanting to be exterminated by the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion, can only conceal this matter.
"Although my true identity won’t be exposed, my origins won’t be revealed, and no one would connect it to me, a mere Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Corpse Cultivator, there is the legacy of the Blood Demon Sect in the Divine Fall Mountain Range. Once they catch wind of something, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect and the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion will eventually extend their reach. So, the potential risk exists... looks like I need to find another cultivation land this trip."
He put away his thoughts, simultaneously controlling the East Spring Undying Bone heading to East Pole Immortal City and reviewing the soul memories of the Three Karmic Demon and Jue Xing.
Firstly, the most important thing, the True Spirit Demon Tree. As expected, in Jue Xing’s soul memory, each dark altar held one True Spirit Demon Tree. Their purpose was to demonize the entire West Mountain Floating Domain. But how many exactly, and how many dark altars the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect had in the West Mountain Floating Domain, he didn’t know either.
He only knew that beneath an Independent Practitioner Immortal City outside the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, there was another Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect dark altar. His original purpose was to head there, but unfortunately, he perished before leaving the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.
"As long as the True Spirit Demon Tree exists, the East Spring Undying Bone, and even the other two corpses, will have resources for bloodline advancement." Wen Jiu immediately decided to seek a cultivation place within the West Mountain Floating Domain after the two corpses cross the tribulation.
The Lifeless Abyss would remain unexplored for now; after all, searching the East Spring River in the Lifeless Abyss to cultivate Formless Demon Corpses into Undying Bones was far less important than turning the Three Corpses into zombies. Once the Three Corpses become zombies, the enhancement would be unprecedentedly vast.
The Top-Grade Golden Core could already touch upon realms beyond the Golden Core. If they became zombies, what level could the Three Corpses reach?
Immortality?
When this notion arose, Wen Jiu was filled with boundless longing.
Very soon.
The East Spring Undying Bone returned to East Pole Immortal City; as he expected, the City Lord’s Mansion of East Pole Immortal City dispatched numerous cultivators rushing toward the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, sparking widespread rumors and discussions throughout East Pole Immortal City.
Wen Jiu also casually inquired about the He Family’s situation and found that despite not being attacked, He Changyi, the He Family’s ancestor, was captured by Demon Cultivators of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.
While not dead, he was imprisoned and being secretly transported to another dark altar.
"With He Changyi captured, the He Family is next in line to suffer. The He Family members may never understand why until their demise... they can only blame themselves for assisting the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect in setting up the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique."
While waiting for the daily settlement, Wen Jiu checked the real purpose of the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique from the soul memories of the Three Karmic Demon and Jue Xing. Starting with the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique within the soul memory of the Three Karmic Demon.
As expected.
It originated from the Blood Demon Sect, concurrently being something passed down by the Blood Demon Sect’s Sect Leader, suspected to be an Ancient Demon Sect technique.
Its function didn’t depart from the simplified information given during daily settlements, being a form of destruction to transform people into True Demons, a method for Demon Cultivators to develop the Demon Realm and create a Magic World.
Not only could it reside within Blood Corpse Mushrooms but also be contained in any Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine.
"But why just Blood Corpse Mushrooms, or was it that I hadn’t acquired any other items?" Wen Jiu promptly examined Jue Xing’s soul memories, discovering that after acquiring the cultivation method for Blood Corpse Mushrooms, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect began cultivating Blood Corpse Mushrooms extensively, embedding the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique within.
