Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Only with absolute confidence will it work.

After refining the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses, the East Spring Undying Bone should complete its bloodline transformation, turning into the Extreme Undying Corpse Demon.

The next moment.

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to return.

Upon seeing the East Spring Undying Bone, Pei Wuxing’s face immediately bloomed with a smile of surprise and delight.

He bet correctly!

But what he didn’t know was that just now, the "Lu Family Corpse Ancestor" almost had the thought of capturing his soul.

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone and asked, "Regardless of whether what you said is true or false, could that True Spirit Divine Tree really exist, and I fear that little known passage would not be so easy to traverse, right?"

"That passage is located within the Heaven-Reaching River, and although it has been eroded by the river water for years, it is still stable. The dangers it poses may require extreme caution for the younger generation, but for you, Corpse Ancestor, they are insignificant." Pei Wuxing replied quickly, while making a Heart Demon Oath to prove that he was speaking the absolute truth.

Wen Jiu asked again, "Since you’ve sworn that not a single word was false, how do you know it’s the True Spirit Divine Tree, and that it is what helped the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch to achieve the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit?"

"It was personally mentioned by the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch’s remaining image, and furthermore, I have seen the True Spirit Demon Race, and I’ve seen fake True Spirit Divine Trees. Having seen the real tree, I am seventy to eighty percent sure I won’t mistake it." Pei Wuxing spoke with certainty.

"If so, why don’t you take it? Surely you have some desire for the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit?"

Pei Wuxing smiled wryly, "I am aware of my own limits. What the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch left behind is not something I can take. Moreover, I’m merely a low-rank Golden Core cultivator; it would be a blessing in this life just to reach the middle stage of Golden Core, and I dare not desire anything else. Currently, my only wish is to heal my Golden Core injuries and avenge my junior sister and disciples."

Wen Jiu asked no further, only glanced at Lin Hai. Lin Hai immediately understood and took a Silencing Spell and a Heart Demon Oath without delay. Seeing this, Wen Jiu’s rising intent to kill and silence faded away.

"You two will come with me to the Lu Family." To be cautious, Wen Jiu still decided to exert control over their souls.

Why not kill them?

Because it would be truly a waste to do so.

After all, they are both Golden Core.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two nodded in unison.

Lin Hai still wanted to leave a message for Red Fire Zhenren, but reconsidered; if the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor intended anything, why would he travel fifty to sixty thousand miles to the Celestial Yin Mountain Range, needlessly attracting attention?

Actually, at this moment, Lin Hai was also a bit expectant, thinking perhaps the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor was interested in giving him an opportunity when he himself was also requested to head over.

...

Upon leaving the Lake Bottom Grotto Heaven, Wen Jiu led the two towards the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. Along the journey, Wen Jiu asked about the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven, and upon learning that the True Spirit Divine Tree was also covered by a large array, he immediately thought of the True Spirit Divine Demon Array from before.

If so, perhaps he could once again rely on the True Spirit Divine Tree to enter without barriers and easily take it away.

Soon.

The East Spring Undying Bone returned to the Celestial Yin Mountain Range.

However, from a distance, Wen Jiu felt something was amiss; within a thousand miles of Cold Pool Mist Valley, there wasn’t a single loose cultivator in sight. Proceeding further, it was only at five hundred miles from Cold Pool Mist Valley that Wen Jiu saw Lu Family cultivators.

But unlike before, Lu Family cultivators stood guard around Cold Pool Mist Valley like sentinels. With a scan of the East Spring Undying Bone Divine Sense, Wen Jiu found that there were no fewer than a thousand guards stationed around Cold Pool Mist Valley.

Among them, there were also two Fake Pill Zhenrens.

And upon reaching Cold Pool Mist Valley, there wasn’t even a single Lu Family cultivator, even Lu Chan’s line was nowhere to be found. Lu Chan was missing, only Lu Feng was still guarding the Mist Valley.

The original buildings in the market had been mostly dismantled, leaving only a few dozen Qi Cultivation Foundation Establishment cultivators residing within and cultivators from the City Lord’s Mansion tasked with setting up an array.

And among the remaining Lu Family cultivators, the majority were female cultivators, all youthful and beautiful.

Wen Jiu instantly understood, the Lu Family was preparing to make Cold Pool Mist Valley and Qi Mountain his personal domain. Those still in Cold Pool Mist Valley were meant to serve him as retainers left by the Lu Family.

Wen Jiu took a careful glance; their spirit roots were all quite high, and though young, they were already at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, some even at Qi Cultivation Perfection, considered geniuses within the Lu Family. Seeing this, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Never thought he would also have a day to become an ancestral figure, that even the talented female cultivators of the Lu Family were suited only to be his servants.

Although Wen Jiu harbored no thoughts of romance and had little interest in such matters, this kind of treatment moved him to some extent. No wonder those Golden Core cultivators couldn’t part with their family foundations, likely some of it for reasons like this.

"Corpse Ancestor!"

Lu Feng immediately saluted upon seeing the East Spring Undying Bone, and nodded to Lin Hai and Pei Wuxing who followed.

Wen Jiu nodded, "These days have been hard on you. Carry on with your tasks."

"Being able to serve the Corpse Ancestor is old man’s honor." Lu Feng spoke respectfully, and then continued, "Corpse Ancestor, now Cold Pool Mist Valley and Qi Mountain, have been emptied, except for just a few of us including myself and Lu Chan, everyone else entering without permission is considered as betraying the clan. I have left some main lineage cultivators from the Lu Family in the market, they are people I watched grow up, absolutely trustworthy, and they are no older than twenty, Corpse Ancestor, you can instruct them at any time, they can do anything."

"Take them all away, having Lu Xinghe is enough." Even though each of those retainers were beautiful as flowers, Wen Jiu didn’t want to keep them.

As for mentioning Lu Xinghe, it’s simply because Lu Xinghe is Lu Chan’s disciple, and Lu Xinghe took good care of Fang Qian’s Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House, so Wen Jiu naturally intended for the Lu Family to focus on nurturing Lu Xinghe.

Lu Feng nodded, "I understand."

Wen Jiu spoke no further, taking Lin Hai and Pei Wuxing towards the Cold Pond. And just as they entered the Cold Pond, Feng Jue suddenly looked up towards the entrance, gazing at the person entering the Cold Pond. Upon seeing Pei Wuxing, his expression froze.

Pei Wuxing also sensed Feng Jue’s presence at that moment, bowing his head and locking eyes with Feng Jue.

"Feng... Jue..."

Feng Jue too spoke in surprise, "Master Pei..."

Neither expected to meet here.

In that moment, Pei Wuxing’s mind exploded because he clearly remembered, Feng Jue’s Spirit Contract was taken by Master Du, accompanied by Master Du accepting him as a disciple, yet why had they met here today?

At this moment, Pei Wuxing’s eyes held an incredulous look at the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor once more.

He originally thought it was just a mistake.

How could Master Du possibly be the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor?

The difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

Now it seemed, even if the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor isn’t Master Du, Master Du must have a close relationship with the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor.

Otherwise, how could an outsider like Feng Jue practice in the core region of the Yin Vein when even the Lu Family people have been cleared from the Mist Valley?

At this moment, Wen Jiu naturally noticed the exchange of looks between the two but paid no mind.

For from today onward, there was no harm in letting Pei Wuxing know he was Master Du.

And just when they landed in front of the cave dwelling, about to enter, Pei Wuxing finally couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask, Corpse Ancestor, do you have a disciple with the surname Du?"

"No."

Wen Jiu replied.

Pei Wuxing was taken aback.

Beside him, Lin Hai hadn’t yet reacted when a tremendously powerful soul-capturing force suddenly descended.

The familiar sense of oppression descended upon Pei Wuxing as well. It was at this moment that Pei Wuxing knew exactly who Master Du was.

"Du..."

As the word fell.

His consciousness began to blur.

Under the shock and surprise, Lin Hai also gradually lost consciousness, and when they reopened their eyes, respect and loyalty towards the East Spring Undying Bone filled their gaze. Of course, Pei Wuxing’s consciousness wasn’t erased.

"So, it’s all you..." Pei Wuxing saluted respectfully.

Wen Jiu nodded and said, "No need to dwell on past matters, where is the passage to the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven?"

"It is right below that Heaven-Reaching River entrance where you first encountered your subordinate, Corpse Ancestor. It was precisely because I discovered that passage, I was able to discover that entrance." Pei Wuxing spoke truthfully, "It has now been occupied by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, but they are unaware of the passage beneath the Heaven-Reaching River."
