Chapter 295 - 164: Obtaining Demon Cultivator Remains, Fake Pill Demon Soul Possession
Immediately, Eastern Celestial City communicated again, "Fellow Daoist Han, you might want to try using the Sealing Demon Coffin for containment. Although the Sealing Demon Coffin is only a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, it has a Tier One Top-Grade Demon Suppression Array on its surface. By simultaneously activating the Sealing Demon Coffin and the Demon Suppression Array, you can effectively suppress the demonic energy, which might be somewhat useful.
If there are any issues, I can use Foundation Establishment Power to help you sustain the Tier One Top-Grade Demon Suppression Array. Despite having a Fake Pill, it is ultimately dead, and the demonic energy within the remains shouldn’t be strong enough to destroy the artifact or break the array."
Wen Jiu glanced at Eastern Celestial City and, after setting up a Yin Technique Shield to isolate the Divine Sense, did not continue to maintain the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment.
Forcing oneself to maintain the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment while transforming oneself and the Three Thousand Blood Inks into ghosts consumes a great deal of corpse energy. Even if it could hide one’s identity, it would consume three to four times more energy than when East Spring’s Undying Bone performs the Three Rivers Ghost Concealment.
The demonic energy within the demon cultivator remains was quite substantial; it was clear at a glance that relying solely on the Sealing Demon Coffin and the Demon Suppression Array would not suffice.
It also required supplementing with Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi.
Earlier, Wen Jiu had already tried using the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi of the Three Thousand Blood Inks; when it came into contact with the Blood Demon Demonic Qi, it was as if two demons were battling each other, but the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi could steadily hold the upper hand.
Although it couldn’t directly devour it and turn it into corpse energy, it could still suppress it.
"Everyone, step aside." Wen Jiu refused, understanding Eastern Celestial City’s intention, but if he were corroded by the Blood Demon Demonic Qi, it would also take time for him to dispel it, wasting quite a bit of time.
"Understood."
Eastern Celestial City nodded and withdrew first.
Ye Chen and Bai Jianxin followed closely behind.
As for the others on Deadman Peak, they retreated while looking at Wen Jiu’s unfamiliar face disguised with Hidden God Technique, then at the Three Thousand Blood Inks, and finally at the fearless Great Elder and Elder Ye, instantly understanding everything.
This person was Han Li.
Ji Peak Honored Guest Elder!
One of our own!
It turned out Fellow Daoist Han, no, Elder Han, was not merely a Qi Cultivation Perfection but was in fact a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
And not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
In shock, everyone retreated thirty zhang away, not daring to advance recklessly.
Wen Jiu then took out the Sealing Demon Coffin, activated the Demon Suppression Array on it, and used the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi to wrap the demon corpse remains, sending it into the Sealing Demon Coffin. To Wen Jiu’s surprise, the seemingly light demon cultivator remains were unexpectedly heavy.
It was as if a small mountain; the Three Thousand Blood Inks had to directly lift it to push it into the Sealing Demon Coffin.
Upon carefully examining the spiritual memories of the tall cultivator and Chen Yi, Wen Jiu found the explanation for this bizarre situation.
The reason lay in this person’s identity; the Blood Demon Sect’s practitioners were adept at cultivating demon bodies. In legends, there was said to be a sect-stabilizing demon body within the Blood Demon Sect, which, through cultivation, could increase one’s physical body, allowing it to grow as large as a small mountain after forming the Golden Core. After death, even a single finger could weigh a hundred pounds.
This body was known as the Demon Luo Blood Slaughter Body.
The demonic energy within this person’s remains was indeed one of the three major demonic energies of the Blood Demon Sect: the Blood Demon God-Stealing Demonic Qi, so it was reasonable to assume the practitioner could cultivate the legendary sect-stabilizing demon body, the Demon Luo Blood Slaughter Body.
Furthermore, the opponent had formed a Fake Pill; the level of the Demon Luo Blood Slaughter Body must not have been low. Even though only the remains were left, they weren’t merely demonic bones yet to dissipate.
"This Demon Luo Blood Slaughter Body is truly mystical." In magical techniques, there do exist methods for enlargement and reduction, but no matter how they change, the weight and strength of the body itself don’t change. However, the Demon Luo Blood Slaughter Body becomes stronger along with the growth of the demon body.
The Golden Core could grow as large as a small mountain, possibly three to fifty zhang tall; if it were above the Golden Core stage, it would be unimaginable.
However, it’s hard to even imagine, given that demon cultivators are suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth, with the Golden Core already being a path defying the heavens.
Above the Golden Core, it would require one to be truly extraordinary.
Meanwhile, seeing Wen Jiu easily putting it away and using corpse energy to suppress the demonic energy, Eastern Celestial City was once again secretly amazed.
That corpse energy could suppress demonic energy, and such a powerful understanding that even a trace could harm the Foundation Establishment, was indeed unheard of. It’s no wonder that Wen Jiu had to kill all mid-level and above demons and demon beasts on Deadman Peak back then.
He could confirm that this Corpse Nourishing Technique was definitely not from the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, nor was the corpse energy recorded in the Yinzhou Heterodox Record. Clearly, Wen Jiu had his own heterodox fortune.
And a significant one at that.
"Perhaps Wen Jiu could truly step above the Golden Core and become the second heterodox Golden Core of the Divine Fall Mountain Range." Eastern Celestial City sighed inwardly, finally understanding why Wen Jiu had abandoned Han Li’s identity.
Such an immense fortune, even if it were to cause one to be torn apart, many Foundation Establishment cultivators would likely covet it.
Just like Chen Yi and the others.
Was the demon cultivator remains not sinister enough?
Not venomous enough?
Yet they still wanted to claim it as their own.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Han, on acquiring the demon cultivator remains." Eastern Celestial City hastily approached to congratulate, already with a mind to depart.
Ye Chen and the others also stepped forward to offer congratulations.
Bai Jianxin was no exception.
"I hope all of you achieve your desires as well." Wen Jiu cupped his fists and with a flash used the Blood Corpse Escape to leave directly.
As soon as Wen Jiu left, Eastern Celestial City cast his gaze once more upon the top of Celestial Extinction Mountain, moving upward first.
There was no fear in his eyes.
Because he knew that, even if something unexpected happened to him, Wen Jiu could secretly look after Deadman Peak in the future.
Plus, with two Foundation Establishment Items already in hand, with Wen Jiu’s aid, Ye Chen’s future Foundation Establishment would surely have no issues.
So he had to go up the mountain and strive.
To see if he could obtain another Golden Core opportunity.
If it’s another cultivation technique or something, he planned to copy it down and give a copy to the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks; surely, they wouldn’t care who helped him lift the Foundation Breaking Method. Nor would they categorize him with the likes of Feng Jue, labeling him a traitor.
