Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Upon hearing these words from the Upper Sect Demon Monarch, Xing Luo was taken aback. He never expected the Upper Sect Demon Monarch to say such a thing.

This caused Xing Luo's expression to change dramatically, "Demon Monarch, I did not intend to act first and report later, but the time was truly pressing. The True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree was given by you, and it was also an opportunity you granted to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect and me. I dare not slack off, so I had to seal off the Four Domains before consulting the Upper Sect..."

"No need to worry, I will continue to stand behind you," the voice from the Black Bone Token interrupted Xing Luo's words.

This allowed Xing Luo to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

That was precisely the assurance he needed.

Yet, it made him even more confused.

Why would the Demon Monarch say such a thing?

The Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion is a Nascent Soul major influence; without direct evidence, wouldn't the Upper Sect also feel pressured when facing the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion?

"Demon Monarch, I am somewhat puzzled," Xing Luo couldn't help but ask.

The voice from the Black Bone Token suddenly chuckled lightly, "Hehe, if you are puzzled, just do more work, continue doing what you intend to do."

"Understood," replied Xing Luo.

Xing Luo dared not ask more questions.

Yet, he sank into deep confusion.

The attitude of the Upper Sect Demon Monarch was truly baffling; could it be that the actions of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect were also what he wanted to see?

"Wait a minute..."

"If that's really the case, doesn't it mean..."

"It means that the Upper Sect also plans to take action on the lower reaches of the Heaven-Reaching River, so evidence does not matter anymore?"

The look in Xing Luo's eyes became increasingly brilliant, and a radiant smile appeared on his face. If that's the truth, it would be the scene he most wanted to witness.

The Demon Dao should be so.

How could the Demon Dao coexist harmoniously with the Orthodox Dao?

After putting his thoughts aside, Xing Luo quickly said again, "Demon Monarch, I have another matter to contact you about today."

"What is it?"

"I have already divined that person with life techniques, but the heavenly fate on the other party is extremely strong and rare. My life technique consumes hundreds of years of lifespan just to glance at it... Now, I can only request the Demon Monarch to take action."

"Heavenly Fate Magical Artifact in possession?"

"No, there is no detection of a Heavenly Fate Magical Artifact in possession, but that person's inherent heavenly fate is extraordinarily heavy."

Xing Luo originally wanted to add that divining felt like divining a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but thinking that if he said this and the Upper Sect Demon Monarch hesitated or refused, wouldn't that person remain hidden forever?

Sealing off the Four Domains could indeed ensure that person wouldn't escape, but if that person kept hiding, how vast the Four Domains are, finding them would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. So, he needed the Upper Sect Demon Monarch to take action.

"Oh, interesting, in that case, this matter, I'll assist you."

The words concluded.

The Black Bone Token fell silent.

When the cave returned to complete silence, Xing Luo rejoiced once more, then raised his head to gaze at the Four Domains above the Heaven-Reaching River.

The smile on his face grew radiant.

"Let's see where you can hide!"

...

Donghua Immortal City.

While cultivating the Three Corpses and Five Ghosts, Wen Jiu also painstakingly guided his disciple Zhao Ming in cultivation, even going out of his way to find a technique from the soul memories he harvested that could channel the meridians and assist in cultivation.

With his Main Body's Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivation, mastering a cultivation technique to help a Qi Refining Cultivator was not too difficult; he effortlessly maxed out his experience in two or three days. After reaching perfection, Wen Jiu began assisting Zhao Ming in her cultivation daily.

Thus, Zhao Ming's cultivation efficiency greatly improved, coupled with her own Star Fate Chart, her progress was astounding.

On the basis of Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection within one or two years and establishing Foundation will be no problem at all.

It's worth mentioning that although Zhao Ming knew that her mentor Wen Jiu was helping her for the sake of quickly obtaining the Innate Fate Derivation Object, Zhao Ming showed no resistance. Instead, she cultivated even more diligently.

Every day after receiving Wen Jiu's assistance in cultivation at the courtyard, she would immerse herself in her room, ceaselessly striving, seemingly determined to help her mentor acquire the object as quickly as possible.

In this, Wen Jiu was quite gratified.

He was gratified not only by Zhao Ming's diligence but also by her intelligence; she didn't develop any grudges or ulterior motives, such as intentionally slow her progress to hold him back, knowing he was helping her just to obtain the Innate Fate Derivation Object.

After all, from the Zhao Family's standpoint, the more he achieved, the longer his ties with the Zhao Family would be.

Even though the Zhao Family had the support of Wuxinming, who wouldn't want an additional Golden Core Cultivator as their backing?

For such intelligence, when she eventually achieves Nascent Soul status, making this girl a True Disciple wouldn't be out of the question.

...

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

The karmic force refinement of the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses was nearing completion, but it was on this day that Wen Jiu noticed some disturbances occurring in Donghua Immortal City. No, to be precise, it was the people of East Splendor Divine Palace who were in turmoil first.

Following that, it was Donghua Immortal City.

The news about the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect sealing the Four Domains spread without warning, as if someone was orchestrating it from behind the scenes, and as the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect openly confronted the East Splendor Divine Palace, even the cultivators residing in Donghua Immortal City were momentarily uneasy.

After all, though the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect couldn't possibly conquer the West Mountain Floating Domain in a short time, attacking Donghua Immortal City would be incredibly easy.

Yet, quite a few Golden Core Cultivators were unconcerned; they knew that behind East Splendor Divine Palace was a Nascent Soul major influence.

However.

When the hidden orchestrator claimed the Four Domains were all sealed off and forbade the influence of Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion from entering or leaving, and declared that unauthorized entry or exit meant death, even the Golden Core Cultivators became somewhat anxious.

The Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect daring to seal off the Four Domains, and being capable of doing so, indeed signified their unprecedented strength, and their current boldness further suggested they do not fear the Nascent Soul backing East Splendor Divine Palace.

Why aren't they afraid?

They must have a backing too.

When even the cultivating families passing by Hua Mansion discussed it, Wen Jiu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "It seems that discarding the disguise of Lu Family Corpse Ancestor is indeed valuable. In this way, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect's target is East Splendor Divine Palace, or even Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion. Although they surely wouldn't dare to directly conflict with the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, it has nothing to do with me after all."

While content with these results, Wen Jiu was somewhat surprised by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect's direct sealing of all exits from the Four Domains. Thinking of this, he hurried to employ the Three Thousand Blood Inks for divination.

The results were unexpected for Wen Jiu.

Minor misfortune.

Considering East Spring Undying Bone's current strength, the Golden Core Perfection can't say it can slaughter anyone with demons tied to the Demon Path Demon Monarch, as such figures often have hidden techniques that surpass their boundaries.

But for East Spring Undying Bone wanting to leave the Four Domains, certainly, no one could stop it, even the Demon Lord of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

Still, this minor misfortune could not be baseless.

Wen Jiu immediately used the Life Plate for analysis.

[In the circumstance where the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion cannot access the Four Domains, crossing the sealed areas by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect could be discovered. Within the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect exists a force capable of restraining East Spring Undying Bone, though possibly temporary, it still poses the risk of exposure, even catching the attention of the Demon Monarch.]

"It seems that this minor misfortune, at its core, does not emanate from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect; even the East Spring Undying Bone being temporarily restrained by their powers is not genuinely threatening... The true threat fundamentally originates from the Demon Monarch."

Wen Jiu sank into contemplation.

If the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion truly becomes inaccessible, then he really only has one path left to take.

Fortunately, since refining the Celestial Yin Food Seed gifted by Nangong Huan, East Spring Undying Bone gained the Heaven-Reaching Unity ability.

It can navigate freely within the Heaven-Reaching River, with even the deepest of Heaven-Reaching River Water downstream posing no threat to East Spring Undying Bone.

As for circumventing the Four Domains from the side near the Traceless Mountain Range in the West Mountain Floating Domain through the void, Wen Jiu never dared have such a thought based on the soul memories he harvested, for even Nascent Soul True Monarchs dare not tread that path.

"Looks like I have to make a trip to Gongyang Fu to get a lay of the land, the cross-domain Flying Ship from Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion arrives in a year. I believe Gongyang Fu and their party should be more anxious than I am by now." Wen Jiu collected his thoughts and prepared to seek out Gongyang Fu.
