Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 653: Chapter 316: Three Corpses Calamity

If even Li Changgeng was like this, then if it were them, that instinctual fear might increase tenfold.

Slash...

Suddenly, Zhang Fan’s hand, like a knife, lightly cut through the void, and a stream of light turned into a trajectory, slicing Li Changgeng’s Primordial Spirit in two.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, this minute, this second.

Everyone’s eyes widened, watching the incredible scene before them.

The Primordial Spirit is inherently precious, any increase or decrease has an immense impact.

Yet at this moment, Li Changgeng’s Primordial Spirit was directly cut in half.

Sigh...

Indeed, the heavens trembled, the earth rumbled, as if they were bidding farewell to this cultivator who seized the fortune of heaven and earth.

Everyone could feel Li Changgeng’s aura weakening, like a candle in the wind, as if life and death were in silence.

This heir of the White Crane Temple ultimately fell at Zhang Fan’s feet.

The fragmented Primordial Spirit was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Dead... Li Changgeng is dead..."

Xiangtingshan and Yu Xuanji’s faces twitched, as if they had lost a loved one, they couldn’t believe it, nor did they want to believe it, the one hailed as the strongest heir of the White Crane Temple in a thousand years, a cultivator who seized the fortune of heaven and earth, who had awakened three Celestial Gifted Divine Techniques...

With such a halo, so incredible... Such a person should have shone like a pearl, intimidating the entire Daoist Sect, just like a Transcendent Zhenren.

How could such a person die?

"A tribulation was supposed to be the Longevity Technique, sadly there’s no place for you on this path anymore." Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit said indifferently.

"You think you can live?" Li Changgeng’s residual thought sneered.

"Hungry..."

"Hungry..."

"Hungry..."

Suddenly, an eerie, sinister voice echoed faintly between heaven and earth, resonating deep within the empty valley.

Zhang Fan’s face slightly changed, he abruptly looked up, and saw a squirming gray shadow shrouding above, with black particles continuously surging in from all around, merging into the gray shadow.

"What is this..."

The densely packed black particles were stripped from the Primordial Spirit during the recent Divine Fusion, of unknown nature.

"Three Corpses Cause Calamity... Three Corpses Cause Calamity..." Li Changgeng’s residual thought sneered.

"What is that?"

In the distance, Xiangtingshan’s eyes narrowed, instinctively taking a step forward, wanting to get a clearer look.

With just this step, his Primordial Spirit suddenly leaped out of his body, involuntarily flying towards that gray and blurry figure.

"Save me..."

Xiangtingshan shouted in panic, almost unable to control himself, yet the next moment, his Primordial Spirit was devoured by that continuously squirming gray figure.

Immediately after, a strange and horrifying chewing sound emanated from it.

"Run!"

Zhang Fan’s face changed drastically, he shouted uncontrollably.

Xia Weisheng, Qi Delong, Qi Dongqiang, Fang Changle, and others instantly realized, all leaping towards the distance.

At the same time, Zhang Fan took a step forward, arriving close to that gray and blurry figure.

He reached out a hand, incense wavering behind him, the trajectory he drew was like a stream of light, slicing through that squirming eerie figure.

Buzz...

Almost at the same moment, the split figure drifted away into the distance, and even under Zhang Fan’s gaze, it re-fused, continuously absorbing the black particles surging in from the surroundings.

Immediately after, an incredible scene unfolded.

The gray and blurry figure slowly took shape, its form nearly identical to a Primordial Spirit, and its appearance was almost indistinguishable from Zhang Fan’s.

"Three Corpses Gods!?"

In front of the dilapidated Daoist Temple, Li Miaoyin whispered blankly, looking at this eerie scene before her.

The Three Corpses, like the Primordial Spirit, are innately present.

Much like diseased genes in the human genome, they are congenital, not knowing when they suddenly mutate.

The Three Corpses represent the great illness in the quest for immortality and longevity, hidden within the Primordial Spirit, innately present from the start of cultivation, yet becoming a tribulation on the path to immortality.

Three Corpses Illuminating Fate, first the Divine Split, then the Divine Fusion, restructuring the Primordial Spirit, slaying the Three Corpses Gods born alongside.

Thus, the cultivation of Three Corpses Illuminating Fate truly begins.

This is the greatest tribulation of this technique!

Three Corpses Cause Calamity, with the Primordial Spirit transforming into tribulation.

"No wonder this technique is so difficult to cultivate, throughout history, those who achieved Great Success could be counted on one hand." Zhang Wuming said heavily, deep in thought.

"Hungry..."

The gray and blurry figure seemed like a Primordial Spirit but wasn’t a Primordial Spirit, as if gradually awakening to consciousness and instinct, it emitted a strange sound, its ethereal gaze fixed on Zhang Fan.

Between the two, a mutual response was born, like Yin and Yang, like life and death, like heaven and earth, like Divine Demon...

Sigh...

Suddenly, the gray and blurry figure opened its mouth wide, the three sticks of incense behind Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit wavered and swayed, sucked in wildly by it.

"Three Corpses Illuminating Fate is just the nourishment for this thing, it’s devouring Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit." Zhang Wuming exclaimed.

This scene was beyond belief, truly beyond the imagination of everyone present.

None had anticipated that the Three Corpses Illuminating Fate could also present such a great tribulation.

Buzz...

The gray and blurry figure crazily absorbed the incense phenomenon from Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit, the three ethereal figures were trembling, as if all were to be restrained and devoured by that thing.

In an instant, it grew significantly, the gray and blurry figure still squirming, yet more tangible, closer to a Primordial Spirit state.

"It got so much stronger in such a short time?" Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, daring only to watch from afar.

They could feel that Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit had weakened somewhat.

However, the gray and blurry figure seemed not yet sated, directly fixating on Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit.

For the Three Corpses Gods, the true Primordial Spirit was its greatest nourishment and opportunity.

Conversely, the same was true.

Buzz...

At this moment, the gray and blurry figure flowed along the phenomenon of incense, directly lunging towards Zhang Fan’s Primordial Spirit.

"This thing is simply the nemesis of the Primordial Spirit, especially concerning Zhang Fan," Zhang Wuming said in a deep voice.
