Chapter 292 - 162: All Three Corpses Become Undying Bone, True Opportunity for Golden Core
What a pity.
No matter how many demons there are now, none can compare to the allure of the East Spring River.
Hunting demons would only be a waste of time.
As for the things on Celestial Extinction Mountain, Wen Jiu did have some interest. However, knowing that he might face death there, he decided against going. While his strength now rivals the Foundation Establishment realm, and when utilizing the East Spring Undying Bone along with the Three Thousand Blood Ink Foundation Establishment Power, he might be able to kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
But still, there’s no need to take risks.
Ku Yue is here.
Let Ku Yue fetch it for him.
If Ku Yue can’t get it, there’s always the Blood Eater Daoist or the disciples from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.
He merely needs to wait and reap the benefits like a fisherman, and when he exits the Celestial Extinction Ruins, he can use the identity of Wen Jiu without anyone suspecting him. Furthermore, should the Golden Core opportunity truly manifest, even the people from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks won’t have time to bother him.
"Being an outsider feels great."
Wen Jiu chuckled with satisfaction but quickly stopped when he saw the still unchanged thousand-zhang Absolute Spirit Death Land surrounding him.
It’s been days.
No sign of recovery at all.
Moreover, the corrosive Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi was even extending further underground, though today at least it showed signs of halting.
Nevertheless, it remained a headache.
If Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks could hold strong, it wouldn’t be a problem; joining them and mixing into the upper ranks would be sufficient.
With the control tactics of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, who would dare label him as an evil outsider? Who would dare come and enforce justice?
What a pity.
Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks seem unable to hold out for long.
Otherwise, the Three Life Gates wouldn’t dare to rampage the Divine Fall Mountain Range.
As for joining the Three Life Gates, Wen Jiu hadn’t considered it, though perhaps trying to keep a foot in two boats wouldn’t hurt.
After all, it’s the Heterodox Dao.
Joining multiple factions should be reasonable.
...
Meanwhile.
Upon seeing Celestial Extinction Mountain, the people of Eastern Celestial City and the other cultivators from the Two Sects and Five Peaks rushed towards the mountain.
The disciples from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, Blood Eater Daoist, and others didn’t linger any longer, quickly gathering at the foot of Celestial Extinction Mountain.
Once everyone congregated around, no one immediately climbed; instead, they observed the climbing situation from the mountain’s base. Eastern Celestial City scanned the surroundings but didn’t see Ku Yue, yet he wasn’t surprised.
Knowing Ku Yue’s personality, given that he has already reached Foundation Establishment, he wouldn’t show up so soon. However, since he has achieved Foundation Establishment, no matter how Ku Yue schemes and plots, Eastern Celestial City has no fear. This is the confidence Foundation Establishment brings.
"Follow me." Eastern Celestial City also didn’t bother about Ku Yue anymore, intending to head towards Celestial Extinction Mountain immediately.
At the foot of Celestial Extinction Mountain, demons abound.
But they are all Tier-One Demons.
Not enough to be feared.
Climb the mountain first, seize the initiative first.
"Master, aren’t we waiting for Junior Brother Wen?" Shan Yue Ru hastily asked.
Eastern Celestial City shook his head, "Don’t worry about him."
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Ye Chen quickly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, attempting to contact Wen Jiu, who hasn’t been heard from.
However.
There’s still no reply.
Eastern Celestial City said no more; in his view, Wen Jiu hadn’t come, perhaps because he had already found the East Spring River.
Compared to the importance of the East Spring River for corpse nurturers, the opportunity on Celestial Extinction Mountain is trivial.
Unless it holds the legendary Golden Core chance, but even so, whether it truly exists above remains unknown.
With Wen Jiu’s cautious and stable character, why would he abandon the East Spring River to risk Celestial Extinction Mountain?
"He has his own fortunes." Eastern Celestial City responded and waved his hand, sending hundreds of attacking demons flying.
Ye Chen and others quickly followed.
Neither the disciples of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks nor Blood Eater Daoist intended to lag behind.
Only Chen Yi and a few others didn’t move, for they were searching for the Ghost Cultivator they robbed before.
Without that Ghost Cultivator, they felt something was amiss.
However, seeing Eastern Celestial City kill his way to the base of the mountain, while the group from Deadman Peak had already begun flying towards Celestial Extinction Mountain, Chen Yi and the others couldn’t afford much delay and swiftly dashed toward Celestial Extinction Mountain.
Soon.
Eastern Celestial City was the first to reach the mountainside.
Upon arriving at the mountainside, breaking through the cloud sea, what appeared wasn’t a mountain path nor obstructing demons, but a dark forest void of leaves, only withered branches.
At the end of the dead trees lay darkness, impenetrable by Divine Sense, invisible to the naked eye, yet faintly echoed the low roars of True Demons.
"Demon Nurturing Forest!"
Eastern Celestial City exclaimed.
He had previously read in the secret records of Deadman Peak’s masters that Celestial Extinction Mountain was indeed the true dwelling place of Demon Cultivators. The Celestial Extinction Yin Vein nurtures demons, and while it nurtures Tier-One Demons, Celestial Extinction Mountain nurtures True Demons.
The first-generation Master of Deadman Peak stated, demon cultivators use their bodies to nurture demons, living with them, transforming into half-human half-demon beings. Such exists only if their Divine Soul isn’t annihilated; they can achieve immortality akin to the True Spirit Demon Race.
However, their immortality is brutal; to them, immortality equals eternal torment.
Under the rules of the world, they can’t surpass the consolidation of the Golden Core, can’t step into the Golden Core to covet true longevity. Cultivators pursue the seizing of the world’s fortune, yet they dare not defy the heavens.
These half-human half-demon demon cultivators, if they wish to attain the Golden Core, they can only battle the heavens... Yet they can’t even contend with True Demons.
How can they talk of battling the heavens?
"That Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse?" Ye Chen suddenly spoke, recalling the demon corpse consistently suppressed by Bai Jianxin.
Eastern Celestial City nodded, "Indeed, he originated from Celestial Extinction Mountain. According to the sect leader’s secret records, back then, that Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse killed our Peak Master, consumed seven of our Peak Elders, and finally even donned the Master’s human skin to escape from the Celestial Extinction Ruins.
If it weren’t for the old sect leader seeing through the plot and exchanging life for it, Deadman Peak might’ve become a demon den. But even though the old sect leader paid with his life, he couldn’t kill him, only manage to suppress him within the Blessed Land."
Upon hearing this, despite Ye Chen’s throbbing blood, he couldn’t help but cautiously gaze at the Demon Nurturing Forest ahead.
Eastern Celestial City collected his thoughts and glanced back at the group, "We have no retreat, we don’t have a choice either."
Should we fail to seize the Golden Core opportunity.
Deadman Peak will only follow the path of the Moon Extreme Sect.
If we obtain the Golden Core opportunity.
There might be room for maneuvering.
The Golden Core opportunity is undoubtedly crucial, but in his view, safeguarding the foundation of Deadman Peak and protecting its tens of thousands of people holds greater importance.
"Brother, we’ve got your back." Ye Chen gripped the Thousand-Pound Tyrant Axe tightly, closely following Eastern Celestial City.
The others hurried to keep up.
Just moments after Eastern Celestial City entered, Chen Yi and her group also reached the outside of Demon Nurturing Forest, but halted before its entrance. She knew of its peril, and so did the others; hence, they dared not hastily venture within.
Yet, Chen Yi and her group weren’t fearful.
For they had collected two Foundation Establishment Items.
Now to Foundation Establish.
Ten success to one failure.
With two Foundation Establishment Cultivators opening the path, it’s enough to advance through Demon Nurturing Forest.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
At the East Spring Riverbank.
While the group struggled through the Demon Nurturing Forest, Wen Jiu’s Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse finally transformed into Undying Bone.
[Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse · Blood Demon Undying Bone (Upper Level 6/28000)]
[Bloodline: (Blood Demon Undying Bone 0/100000) — Evolution Direction: Demon Zombie!]
[Skill: Ninth Layer of East Spring Blood Demon Body (6/28000)]
However, unlike the Three Thousand Blood Ink Two Corpses, the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse’s next evolution direction turns out to be Demon Zombie.
Clearly.
This Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse seems destined to walk the dark path of the demon corpse.
"Even the corpse body has transformed."
Wen Jiu glanced at the East Spring Blood Demon Body.
But his greatest anticipation lay with the absolute Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi of the demon corpse, for the corpse’s Qi also contains Demonic Qi.
The three combined.
What effect will it bring?
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu tried to use the corpse’s Qi to devour Spiritual Qi, as previously, instantly turning the thousand-zhang area into an Absolute Spirit Death Land. Unlike the East Spring Undying Bone and the Three Thousand Blood Ink, the death land created by the demon corpse began to breed Demonic Qi.
The Absolute Spirit Death Land gradually transformed into a Demon Realm.
Spiritual Qi entering instantly became contaminated by the leftover Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, turning into dark Demonic Qi that began to rampage.
"Great."
"With the demon corpse’s Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi out, I’ve truly earned the title of Evil Cultivator, fittingly!"
Wen Jiu, for a moment, didn’t know what to say.
This time entering the Celestial Extinction Ruins brought immense gains.
Yet the transformation of the Three Corpses into Undying Bone thoroughly marked him as a Heterodox Evil Cultivator, so low-key won’t be possible anymore.
After examining the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivation Demon Corpse for a few more moments, Wen Jiu sent it back to the East Spring Riverbank to continue Corpse Nourishing.
No doubt, the East Spring River Water should have a good effect on Corpse Nourishing.
Just a few more days.
Perhaps it can be elevated to the Realm of Perfection.
But just then, Wen Jiu suddenly received a transmission from Eastern Celestial City, revealing the situation of the past two days.
And one sentence that made Wen Jiu’s expression turn solemn.
Celestial Extinction Mountain.
Indeed holds Golden Core opportunity!
[Two Chapters completed.
See you tomorrow!]
