Chapter 558: Elder Eagle’s Hidden Legacy
’Insane.’The Corpse King Art had actually dropped.
Judging from its description alone, this was an ancient secret manual of extraordinary value. The Navy Captain had cultivated it for only a little over a hundred years, yet that alone had given him the strength to challenge the Ghost Race’ supreme naval commander by himself. That was enough to prove just how terrifying this technique really was.
Marcus immediately opened its attributes and showed them to the girls.

Corpse King Art: An ancient secret manual. Created twenty thousand years ago by a supremely powerful ten-thousand-year Corpse Ghost King, who recorded his cultivation insights and personal experiences within it.
Effect: Upon unlocking the manual, the user may comprehend certain skills based on their Luck and aptitude. The Corpse Ghost King who created this manual nearly ascended to the Ghost Race’s throne and possessed power comparable to a Divine Beast. As a result, the techniques contained within are both incredibly powerful and exceedingly rare.
Restrictions: Can only be comprehended once every thousand years. The user must either possess a zombie-class profession or be a player above level 60 with a zombie bloodline.
Remaining uses: 22.

Since the Navy Captain last comprehended the Corpse King Art, more than two thousand years had already passed.
There was no doubt about it: this was an incredibly powerful ancient cultivation manual.
Unfortunately, immense power came with equally harsh restrictions. Not only did it require level 60, but it also demanded that the user become a zombie-class.
Marcus couldn’t help picturing himself as a stiff, pale zombie shuffling around with a blank expression. He immediately grimaced. ’No thanks.’ Strength was important, but looking like the walking dead was where he drew the line.
Besides, there was no way he’d ever ask the women traveling with him to become zombies either. They had their own paths to follow, and he wasn’t about to push something like that onto them.
That left only one obvious candidate: Invincible Strong.
As a Necromancer, his profession already belonged to the zombie-class branch. Once he reached level 60, he would meet every requirement needed to study the Corpse King Art.
With that in mind, Marcus opened the mercenary chat.
"Strong, Drunkard, what are you two up to?"
Replies flooded in almost instantly.
"Stone! Did you make it to Twin Wing Island? Have you found the Sea Lion’s Tomb yet?"
"Stone, what’s Twin Wing Island like? Is the scenery really as amazing as everyone says?"
The two sounded excited enough that Marcus could almost picture them bouncing in anticipation on the other side of the chat.
