Chapter 191: Foundation with the Five Elements
Enslavement would not last forever. As long as one had intelligence and instincts, few would willingly accept servitude.
It was said that higher-level astras could give birth to artifact spirits, but the relationship between an artifact spirit and its owner was closer to that of family or companions, fundamentally different from enslavement.
Once those enslaved gained the power to break free, they would inevitably turn on their master.
This was also true for the living corpses refined using the Heavenly Yin Corpse Art.
According to the secret art, it was best for the one refining corpses to use a cultivator at the same level to create a living corpse. If a refiner in the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm used a cultivator from the middle stage of Foundation Building Realm as the corpse, they would need to be cautious when controlling the corpse in battle.
A single stage difference wasn’t too significant and could generally still be suppressed under normal circumstances. But if a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator was turned into a living corpse, the refiner would be better off abandoning control entirely to avoid backlash and focus on escaping.
With the assistance of the Jade Buddha, I might be able to surpass this limitation. Qin Sang mused.
However, refining a living corpse was the most challenging step, as it required not only defeating the opponent but also capturing them alive and imprisoning their primordial spirit.
Since he couldn’t even handle a middle-stage Foundation Building cultivator on his own and lacked the help of a teacher, refining a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator into a living corpse was out of the question.
