Chapter 721 - 348: Secrets of the Dark, Slaying the Evil God’s Divine Thunder
This fortune-telling was unknown, but once divined, it shocked. The celestial secret behind the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse suddenly plummeted, and the Nascent Soul Level celestial secret that the Corpse Fate Technique could not even glimpse disappeared.
No.
To be precise, it temporarily disappeared.
Because if it was gone, the connection would be completely broken, yet Wen Jiu could still see that Nascent Soul Level celestial secret existing in the Dark Realm, just hidden.
This situation has many possibilities, but among the ones Wen Jiu knows, the greatest is that the Nascent Soul True Monarch has entered a place isolated from celestial secrets, thus reducing the celestial secrets on the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse. However, isolation is not disconnection, so it’s impossible to erase the Nascent Soul Level celestial secret from the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse, which is why it can be seen in the Dark Realm but its celestial secret enhancement cannot be felt.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu hurriedly continued divining.
Because who knows when the Nascent Soul True Monarch entered the place isolated from celestial secrets, and when they would come out?
"Just as expected, this Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse really is that so-called disciple of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect." Even though Wen Jiu was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel a bit startled.
Then, looking further down in the Life Plate, the other celestial secret information made Wen Jiu furrow his brow even deeper.
Where the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, where the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse belongs, comes from is indicated in the Life Plate.
Midstream of the Heaven-Reaching River, five thousand years ago, a place named Wandering Soul Bright Void Domain, where the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect was a hidden Nascent Soul Level sect, but one day, the Wandering Soul Bright Void Domain suddenly sank into the Heaven-Reaching River, and only those great sects possessing Secret Realm Cave Heaven survived.
It was from then that the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect began moving downstream the Heaven-Reaching River, but their destination was not the West Mountain Floating Domain, but an empty place within the spatial barrier.
What is an empty place?
An empty place is a spatial overlap existing within the spatial barrier, where the overlap forms a void. The left side of the void might be a Land of Death in the Lifeless Abyss, and the right side of the void could be an unknown Mortal Deep Mountain.
For hundreds of years, the Grotto Heaven where the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect resided, carrying the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven, continuously traversed across various Floating Domains. After passing through seven empty places, it finally reached the West Mountain Floating Domain.
Since then, it hadn’t moved until that day when the Sect Leader said the Grotto Heaven would be opened, letting the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect reappear in the Hundred Floating Domains. That day, all disciples of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect were very excited.
Everyone put down what they were doing to await the opening of the Grotto Heaven’s exit, but they were met with endless darkness, along with the Yellow Springs Undying Shadow Fire that instantly engulfed everyone from the exit.
"So ruthless, perhaps ever since leaving the Wandering Soul Bright Void Domain, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect had already planned to turn all the cultivators into Corpse Nourishing Items." Wen Jiu couldn’t help but be secretly astounded.
However, despite his surprise, Wen Jiu also noticed two details: the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect was already a Nascent Soul True Monarch five thousand years ago and might now be in an even higher realm.
If so, perhaps he long since disregarded the so-called Nine-Child Corpse. Although the Nine-Child Corpse is powerful, it pales in comparison to creatures like the Undying Corpse Demon. If one wishes to move forward, it can be used temporarily but not forever. As such, this Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse can be safely refined.
Of course, Wen Jiu wouldn’t think like this; such a thought is too optimistic, and he is not some protagonist from a tale, where would such fortune come from? The most likely scenario is that the Nascent Soul True Monarch has reached a higher realm, one that ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs cannot compare to.
In other words,
even if he cultivated the East Spring Undying Bone into an External Nascent Soul before the return of that Nascent Soul True Monarch,
he would very likely still be no match.
"The plan to leave at any time cannot be changed." Wen Jiu murmured, retracting his thoughts before looking at the celestial secret information again, "No wonder when settling accounts daily, the simple information of the Extreme Resentful Corpse’s Thousand-Year Origin showed that it was nourished by the Yellow Springs Undying Shadow Fire below the Six Abysses for a thousand years. I was previously wondering where on earth this Yellow Springs Undying Shadow Fire below the Six Abysses was, and now it seems, even without divining, the answer is already quite clear."
It’s right in the darkness!
Immediately, Wen Jiu divined again, divining the accompanying gruesome corpse, as it was also a corpse creature that brought minor malefic omens to the East Spring Undying Bone and needed to be thoroughly understood.
In a moment, the celestial secret information of the accompanying gruesome corpse appeared in the Life Plate.
The accompanying gruesome corpse originates from within the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse, born alongside the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses, serving as the protective corpse creature for the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses in the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven.
Its mission has only one purpose, which is to kill all living beings entering this place.
"No wonder they didn’t appear again after Lin Hai left." Wen Jiu continued to look down; upon learning that they only had Tier Three Upper Realm strength and there were only nine of them, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
No living beings enter.
They do not come out.
Even if the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse is refined, they will not have any movements, because their task is to protect the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses. The moment he thought of the four words ’Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses,’ Wen Jiu immediately performed another divination.
What exactly are the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses?
How are they related to the Nine-Child Corpse?
However.
Just as Wen Jiu continued divining, the celestial secrets began to increase rapidly, and the Dark Realm, unable to withstand the sudden growth of celestial secrets, shattered under the immense celestial pressure.
