Chapter 346: Endless Valley
"This person is extremely strange. He lingers in a gloomy and eerie place within the Endless Valley, wandering like a lost soul. No one knows how long he has existed. Though he takes human form and seems to retain some consciousness, his strength is formidable. Even stranger, he is proficient in evasion techniques, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and he even uses incantations, yet he doesn't seem alive..."
Wandering Man carefully recounted his understanding of this peculiar figure, his tone laced with doubt. "At first, I thought he might have triggered one of the eerie barriers in Endless Valley and was trapped there. But then I discovered that Tan Jie’s aura bore a striking resemblance to that of this strange man..."
The more Qin Sang listened, the more he felt that the person Wandering Man described resembled a living corpse.
Moreover, from Wandering Man’s description, this living corpse possessed extraordinary strength. Even if it wasn’t a yaksha, it was at least refined from the corpse of a Fake Core cultivator.
Could it be that an expert from the Heavenly Corpse Sect met an untimely demise, leaving behind a living corpse trapped in Endless Valley?
Endless Valley lay deep within the Tianduan Mountains, surrounded by demonic sects. Legends spoke of it as a ghostly netherworld riddled with dangers, yet containing heaven-defying opportunities.
It wasn’t surprising for Heavenly Corpse Sect cultivators to be active in Endless Valley.
After some thought, Qin Sang cautiously said, "To be frank, if that strange person is related to this particular technique, I do have some means to influence it. However, this influence has its limits—I won’t be able to control it completely."
Back in the Heavenly Corpse Cave, he had been unable to control even an early-stage Foundation Building living corpse.
Each Heavenly Corpse Talisman was meticulously refined, embedding a soul imprint into it. Even though the body perished, the soul imprint remained.
Unless the original owner willingly relinquished control, it was nearly impossible for an outsider to take over.
