Chapter 164 – Mysterious Corpse
Of the four major factions of the Fire Burning Alliance, only the Battle God Palace, Luohe Sect, and the Evil Demon Sect were stationed on top of the main peak, and as for the Corpse Yin Sect, apart from staying for a period of time at the initial stage, they immediately withdrew and returned to the territory of the Fire Burning Country after the plague of Fire Beasts was extinguished in the Level 4 Cultivation Country.
This move makes many people do not understand, fire burning country fire beasts although extinguished, but the aura is full of tyrannical atmosphere, simply can not be spit absorption, so that the formation of a cultivator’s Jedi.
In response, the Corpse Yin Sect did not have any explanation, but instead, late one night, the entire sect left.
In the eyes of the other three sects, the Corpse Yin Sect is extremely mysterious, although there are not many YuanYing stage within it, but every time the YuanYing stage cultivators of several sects meet, they can all feel, if anything, that the YuanYing cultivators of the Corpse Yin Sect seem to contain a terrifying power within their bodies.
Therefore, with regards to the Corpse Yin Sect’s move, the three major sects remained silent and did not do anything to stop them.
In the extreme west of the Fire Burning Country, under a continuous volcano, there was a huge cavern, with one cavern interconnected to another, forming a huge underground world.
Compared to the Corpse Yin Sect of Zhao, its structure was much the same, only the size, was a bit larger.
Corpse Yin Sect’s contemporary Patriarch, Zhao Chuanliang, was kneeling on one knee within a stone room, and directly in front of him, there floated an irregular crystallization formed by countless rhombic luminous bodies crossing together.
At this time, Zhao Chuanliang, with a respectful attitude, and even a trace of fear surfacing on his face if there was any, he said in a low voice: ”Supreme Sect, I will definitely find out everything about this matter. I ask the Upper Sect to grace me for a few more days, I will definitely be able to find the reason for 4876’s disappearance.
“I’ll grace you for a few days, who’s going to grace me?4876 is a disciple of the Tiangang Sect of the Tiangang Country, a fourth level cultivation country, and Mister Chen’s branch, which is also in the Tiangang Country, is now on the other side coming to demand someone. According to the time count, 4876 should have already completed the fusion of taking over the body a long time ago, what do you want me to take to hand over the person?” From within the diamond-shaped crystal, a hideous human face was revealed, and growls roared out from the mouth of that human face.
Zhao Chuanliang secretly grumbled, revealing a look of trepidation and fear, and hurriedly said, “Supreme Sect, I’ve already found out some clues and found the place where 4876 disappeared, and analyzed it from all the signs. A Battle God Temple disciple called Ma Liang has some connection with this matter, I have already sent out manpower to track it down, and I have received information that the other party is currently appearing in Xuanwu Country, as long as you give me ten days’ time, I will definitely be able to find out the truth.”
The human face within the crystallization. The expression slightly slowed down. After glancing at Zhao Chuanliang. Sighing, he said, “Chuanliang. For the sake of this body of mine right now. I’ll give you ten days. After ten days. If there is still no result. Then you won’t blame me for reporting this matter to the fifth level division, at that time. With the tactics of the fifth level division, it will definitely cancel your one chance to choose after your physical body is taken.”
Finished speaking. The human face within the crystallization. It slowly disappeared.
Zhao Chuanliang instantly sat paralyzed on the ground. Laughing bitterly, he said, “That 4876 is both from the Big Dipper Kingdom. Wouldn’t it be better to directly seize the body there. Why did it have to be thrown at me. Alas!” In fact, he understood in his heart. Cultivators from his own country seized their bodies. Generally the clan ministry would choose to throw it to another country to deal with it.
“Cancel your one chance to choose. Zhao Chuanliang. There’s something bad about you oh!” A gloomy voice. It came out within Zhao Chuanliang’s body.
“Night Self. What do you think should be done?” Zhao Chuanliang was silent for a little while. Sighing softly, he said.
“What to do? I don’t know, but old me was the head of the Corpse Yin Sect of Zhao back then. It’s not like I haven’t encountered things like this before. Back then, my senior brother’s matter was quite similar to this. It’s only slightly different.4876 The soul lamp is not extinguished, indicating that it is not dead. If we can find it. That would be great. If you can’t. You’re in danger. For the sake of his flesh, I’ll allow you ten days. What kind of person is that flesh body of yours?”
“It’s my younger brother, the two of us entered the Corpse Yin Sect at the same time four hundred years ago, and he has excellent natural talent, so he was chosen by the upper sect to be the flesh body.” Zhao Chuanliang spoke in a flat tone and said slowly.
“Hmph, if it wasn’t for the fact that my previous choice of that excellent flesh body was suddenly discovered by the Level 5 Sect and forcibly taken away, I would have completely recovered my cultivation by now and successfully seized my body.” Night Self smiled coldly, his tone full of indignation.
Zhao Chuanliang took a deep breath and stood up, taking out a jade slip and placing it on his forehead for a little while before flinging it out.
“Corpse Yin Sect cultivators above the JieDan stage, follow me to the Fire Burning Alliance!” With an order, the disciples who were in seclusion in the various stone chambers throughout the Corpse Yin Sect opened their eyes, and spots of ghostly light flashed in their eyes.
Besides, Wang Lin here, although the Divine Dao Technique was subtle, it wasn’t suitable for him to cultivate, he pondered for a little while, sighed darkly, got up and walked outside, but what made Wang Lin feel a little surprised was that the Divine Dao Technique, ever since he had looked through the stone wall, had stayed in his mind and hadn’t disappeared in the blink of an eye as it had in the past.
Only when Wang Lin took out the jade slip and tried to topographically print it, he realized that he still couldn’t do it, as if there was an invisible resistance that prevented the Divine Dao Art from being recorded.
Wang Lin was silent for a little while, gave up the idea of topography, looked around the water mirror door, behind each door, it was pitch black, could not see the inner appearance.
He pondered for a moment, his divine sense spread out, but as soon as he touched the water mirror door, it was as if there was a layer of obstruction, his divine sense was bounced back, Wang Lin’s eyes flickered, first he looked at the huge water mirror door at the exit, the red-faced old man should be right outside that door.
His body leaped and landed in front of a water mirror door on the surrounding wall, he reached out and probed into it, a cold sensation came from within his palm, when his arm was halfway deep, he touched a stone wall.
Wang Lin withdrew his hand, staring at the mirror door, after a moment of silence, he slapped his storage bag, the God of War Temple Weapon Refining Jade Simple, appeared in his hand, he swept his divine sense, and quickly flipped through it within the jade.
The three steps of the Battle God Temple’s weapon refining technique, tuning, fusion, and merging. All magic treasures are refined during these three processes. Wang Lin flipped through a little bit and immediately found a paragraph called the introduction of the Countercurrent Technique.
The so-called countercurrent technique was originally designed to allow refiners to communicate with each other. It was a means to deduce each other’s magic treasures in reverse, starting from the steps of the fit, and ultimately restoring the magic treasures to their initial state.
Long-term practice of the countercurrent technique can improve the experience of refining weapons, and then reverse the push, learn the strengths of others, so as to perfect their own refining.
It’s just that this reverse flow technique can only be used on magic treasures made in the way of tuning, fusing, and combining.
Wang Lin carefully read it once, put away the jade slip, two hands on the chest, ten fingers together, spiritual energy from the body to condense on top of the hands, pulling apart when a trace of spiritual line, appeared within the hands.
Wang Lin shouted: “Go.”
The spirit line immediately cut off from it, and a thin thread of spirit line quickly drilled into the water mirror door. The other end was connected to Wang Lin’s hands, and the scene at this moment was as if Wang Lin’s hands were reproducing countless filamentary branches, and these spirit threads were shaking in the Water Mirror Door, and as Wang Lin’s spiritual energy surged, the filaments became more and more long, and soon densely wrapped the entire Water Mirror Door, all of them.
The combined character stage of the art of refining. It was actually similar to opening the light for a magic treasure, so that the spiritual energy and formations within it could be perfectly fused with the artifact embryo, thus achieving some sort of mysterious balance.
The Reverse Flow Art, on the other hand, was the opposite, the first thing to destroy was this balance, and once it succeeded, then the Hopping Character was immediately broken. Spiritual energy continued to pour in, and Wang Lin looked as normal. However, the unlight flickered slightly, staring at the crystal door.
Suddenly, his expression moved. The thin lines that multiplied within his hands immediately trembled, only to see an extremely bright circle of light. Appearing at the center of the Water Mirror Door, this aperture emitted a slight sound of clicking. It slowly shattered, and at the moment it was completely broken. The aperture violently swept away in all directions, spreading to the four corners of the edge of the entire door before disappearing.
The entire water mirror door, immediately became dim, Wang Lin knew that the balance of the merging word stage, had been destroyed, and the next thing that needed to be done was to separate the artifact embryo that had been fused together through the melting word stage from the spirit sphere that had been tuned out!
Wang Lin’s expression was grave as he controlled the thin line of spiritual energy and slowly retracted it.
As the thin line retracted, the water mirror door rippled, and the edges of the four corners of the entire door flashed brightly, and this circle of light gradually shrunk, and finally coalesced completely in the center of the center, forming a ball of light that seemed like a crystal.
On the ball of light, there were countless densely-packed thin lines growing, and the other end of the thin line was connected to Wang Lin’s hand.
“Collect!” Wang Lin drank lowly.
The ball of light was immediately pulled by the fine threads, and with a boing, it was yanked out from within the stone wall, and the moment it appeared, Wang Lin shook his hands, and the fine threads of spiritual energy immediately disappeared into his hands.
Wang Lin looked at the ball of light in mid-air, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, the second step of the reverse flow technique, destroying the fusion of the fusion word stage, he had done it, now the ball of spiritual energy of this Battle God’s Temple refining technique had been separated from the weapon embryo.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and looked back at the exit, he didn’t know exactly how many days he had been here, but this Water Mirror Door isolated divine sense and spiritual energy fluctuations, even if there were even more changes generated here, it would be absolutely undetectable outside.
Plus, the red-faced old man simply didn’t believe that with Wang Lin’s JieDan stage cultivation, he could break the water mirror surface, so he didn’t wait inside all the time.
This gave Wang Lin an opportunity, but Wang Lin knew that he had to be quick, otherwise if the other party suddenly came in, then everything would be lost.
When he thought of this, he slapped his storage bag and took out the reaction furnace made from the beast bone at the bottom of the 14th Valley, and after carefully placing the ball of light in mid-air into it, he struck out a spirit skill and printed it on the reaction furnace, which immediately shook and quickly rotated in place, slowly, it turned faster and faster.
After playing the spirit skill, Wang Lin walked towards the stone wall of the embryo without saying a word.
This water mirror door was made up of two parts, one was the stone wall of the vessel embryo, and the second was the spirit sphere that was tuned out of the material, and the combination of the two appeared as the water mirror door. Now that Wang Lin had separated the two, the only thing left in front of him was the artifact embryo stone wall.
Wang Lin reached out and pressed his hand on it, and his divine sense penetrated and immediately entered it, and after sweeping inside the stone room, Wang Lin’s face immediately became odd.
Inside the stone room, there was only a corpse, which seemed to have an invisible force to support it, and it was on its knees, with its fingers on the ground. A trace of black gas came out from its bones and drilled into the ground along the finger.
Wang Lin’s divine sense carefully probed and withdrew his divine sense, he stroked his chin and looked inside the rapidly rotating reactor, his right hand grabbed it, the reactor stopped rotating and the spirit ball suddenly flew out, the color on it was slightly dimmed.
Wang Lin glanced at it. Once again, he threw it back into the reaction furnace, and the furnace immediately rotated again. Wang Lin’s gaze was directed to the next stone room. After opening more than ten water mirror doors in a row in the same manner, his face became more and more odd.
“What the hell is this War God Temple up to? Could this be the land of graves and mounds?” Wang Lin muttered. Within each stone chamber, a corpse was placed, and other than that, there were no other items.
Wang Lin looked around. After a few moments of silence, he once again searched one by one, and every time he opened one, after checking, he would immediately control the spirit orb to blend in and restore it as it was before, and finally after all the stone chambers had been opened by him, finally, in one of them, Wang Lin’s divine sense had just probed into it, and he immediately found an abnormality.
This stone room within the corpse, obviously different from the other, this corpse is not sitting on the ground, but the body floating in mid-air, a trace of black gas, from the stone room in all directions slowly dispersed, turned into a thin line, connected to the corpse.
Wang Lin immediately Bing inwardly.
This person is not dead, there is still life breath fluctuations, and from its fluctuations, the exuberance of its vitality, let a person some alarming.
Wang Lin was about to exit without thinking. But immediately, his eyes gazed at a black gold silk bag below the corpse. This was obviously a storage bag, Wang Lin’s eyes narrowed and after looking at it for a little while, he slightly pondered and didn’t act rashly, but withdrew his divine sense and immediately retreated.
After retreating, Wang Lin grabbed a slightly reduced speed of rotation of the reactor, inside the ball of light at this time has melted into a crystal clear liquid, Wang Lin did not think about it right hand fished.
He fished out most of the liquid. After rubbing his hands together for a few moments and typing in a spirit skill, he threw it at the outer wall of the earliest opened stone room. That stone room was instantly restored as before.
After doing this, he took a deep breath. Slightly hesitant, that storage bag was very different from the ones he had seen from the outside, but this was after all the land of the War God Temple. People had allowed him to come to watch the Divine Dao Technique, if he were to get rid of something before leaving, it would really be a bit unreasonable.
If there were weapon refining materials stored within the stone room, then he wouldn’t mind taking some of them, but at this time, of all the stone rooms, only this one existed oddly.
Slightly pondering, Wang Lin suddenly thought, he vaguely have a guess, would not have been here within the many stone room corpses, in fact, are that special stone room within the person practicing with.
When he thought of this, Wang Lin’s heart stirred, and just now he saw a scene, the black gas on the body of that corpse, and the black gas scattered from the bodies of the corpses in the other stone rooms was exactly the same.
Wang Lin’s face showed a horrified look, he was now certain that what he expected was definitely true, this person was definitely practicing some kind of divine art. He looked around the stone room, densely packed hundreds of rooms, these stone rooms within the corpse, must be for this person cultivation preparation.
Wang Lin was silent for a little while, he vaguely had a suspicion, this person is probably not the people of the War God Temple, and even the War God Temple does not know the existence of this person, if not, just now when the red-faced old man introduced, definitely will not be that calm, and most importantly, if he knows about the things in this place, he definitely will not allow himself to be rashly one person here.
Of course, the suspicion that the other party had evil intentions could not be ruled out, but under Wang Lin’s analysis, if he were to die, there would be no half-benefit to the War God Temple, and there was really no need to be so circumspect.
The more he analyzed, the more certain he was that this must be the burial place of the ancestors of the War God Temple, and somehow attracted that person’s attention, which led him to come here to cultivate.
When he thought of this, Wang Lin took a few steps back and only felt the gloomy wind gusting in this place, as if there was a pair of eyes that had been silently staring at him for the past few days.
But soon, his eyes flashed a few times, immediately returned to that unusual stone room outside, opened his mouth and sprayed out a mouthful of aura, the crystal light flying sword in the aura immediately flashed out.
Along the lower right corner of the stone wall, immediately stabbed, in the blink of an eye will cut out a fist-sized hole. Wang Lin divine sense tightly stared at the corpse, mind tense, gravitational force technique used in the air, grabbed the storage bag, quickly yanked out of the hole.
He was not able to take a closer look and immediately placed it in his arms, at the same time, his body backed up and waved his hands repeatedly, the light ball next to him immediately returned to the stone wall, in the blink of an eye the stone wall returned to normal, and the Water Mirror Door reappeared, except that in the lower right hand corner, there was a blank space that wasn’t very obvious.
Wang Lin’s body did not stop, quickly drilled out from the exit, came out and saw the red-faced old man meditating in the distance.
The red-faced old man opened his eyes and said in a low voice, “You were in there for seven days, did you realize it?”
Wang Lin shook his head. Smiling bitterly, he said, “This divine Dao Technique is too odd, often after reading it once, I immediately forget about it and I was never able to comprehend it. Senior, senior has a question, what exactly is sealed inside those water mirror doors inside the stone mansion? I wonder if I can tell you.”
The red-faced old man swept a glance at Wang Lin and said flatly, “All generations of ancestors of the Battle God Temple are sent inside the stone room after they die.”
Wang Lin looked as normal, but his heart was shaken, he could now be completely sure that his guess should be correct, so his body leapt up and cupped his fists and said, “The late generation will not disturb anymore, farewell!”
The red-faced old man nodded and got up to walk towards the stone mansion. The moment his body entered the Water Mirror Gate, Wang Lin immediately turned into sword light and rushed out from within the mountain peak.
In the blink of an eye, he left the Fire Burning Alliance peak, and from afar, he saw the green-shirted old man sitting on top of the clouds, and the moment Wang Lin flew in, his eyes suddenly opened, and he hummed softly, “If you don’t come out again, the old man is going to enter to find you.”
Without saying anything, Wang Lin quickly flew away. The green-shirted old man’s body moved, and the cloud layer he was sitting on immediately dispersed, revealing a huge gourd within the cloud layer, immediately catching up to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s footsteps slightly nodded and he stepped on the gourd and disappeared outside the sky with the green-shirted old man.
The speed of the gourd was extremely fast, even faster than Wang Lin’s Earth Escape Technique, and from a distance, the border between the Fire Burning Country and the Xuanwu Country was already within reach.
On the way above the two have never said a word, Wang Lin can feel the existence of the storage bag in his arms. But he didn’t immediately check it out, and didn’t even probe into his divine sense.
After all, the old man in the green shirt was right in front of him, if there was any unusual behavior that was detected by the other party, then there would definitely be some more trouble.
The gourd didn’t take long before it flew away from the border of Xuanwu Country and entered the Fire Burning Country. A day later, it had already arrived at the Cultivating Demon Sea, looking from afar. Cultivation of the devil sea within a cloudy, rolling fog slowly moving, in which there are even some in the fog to survive the spirit beasts, from time to time to reveal a bit, and then immediately disappeared.
Inside the Cultivation Demon Sea, the green-shirted old man slapped the gourd, and immediately the gourd shrunk and fell into his hands, and Wang Lin’s body leapt and landed on the ground. The old man put away the gourd and said with an expressionless face, “Wait here for a few days, there is another person who is coming, at that time the three of us will go in together.”
After saying this, he sat down on his knees and closed his eyes.
Wang Lin looked at the Cultivation Demon Sea and sat on the shore, layers of mist rolled up like a tide, and the slightest bit of cold emanated, he was silent for a little while and sat on his knees and exhaled.
Time is not long, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, only to see in the sea of cultivation of the devil in the air, suddenly appeared a strange scene, eight purple light columns from the void suddenly appeared, gradually changed into eight purple giant wood, interlocked together to form a circular legal formation, huge spiritual power such as a hurricane blowing out, even below the cultivation of the devil in the sea of fog, was also churned in all directions, revealing a huge vortex.
The eight giant logs were engraved with one ancient symbol and pattern after another, looking solemn and dignified. Between the eight heels of the giant wood, it was connected by several fluorescent-colored rays of light, and from the top, it could be found that the rays of light interlaced together, forming one aperture after another, latching on to each other, and after careful counting, there were forty-nine of these apertures.
“This Corpse Yin Sect’s unique teleportation array, this gang of inhuman and ghostly guys, I don’t know what kind of wind they are drawing, they dare to come here!” The green-shirted old man opened his eyes and said in a low voice with a light hum.
Corpse Yin Sect, these three words were extremely familiar to Wang Lin, even this formation was somewhat familiar to him, upon closer inspection, this was clearly the exact same formation that he had seen in the Corpse Yin Sect in the Kingdom of Zhao that day, only it had been enlarged countless times.
At this time the circle of light within the formation quickly light up, one after another until forty-nine circles of light all bright, more than thirty black shadow, in the formation appeared, these people despite the appearance of different, but the expression is the same, are all eyes emit ghostly light, the breath slightly chaotic, but the cultivation level, one by one, the lowest person is the late stage of the JieDan, and ultimately there are more than five people, to reach the stage of the first infancy.
In addition to those five YuanYing stage cultivators, the rest of the people behind, all floating with a black wooden coffin.
Zhao Chuanliang, who was one of those five YuanYing stage cultivators, was in the middle of the formation, and his gaze swept over the green-shirted old man, stopping for a little while before finally resting on Wang Lin.
After a slight hesitation, without saying anything, he grabbed his hand and immediately turned into a black mist that instantly rolled down from midair and attacked Wang Lin.
Wang Lin coldly smiled, and did not dodge, is still on his knees on the ground, the right to ignore, see that the black fog is about to run into Wang Lin, the cold air wants to pounce on the face when, the green-shirted old man face gloomy right hand wave, the black fog immediately bombarded dissipation of empty, the aftermath of the impact of the impact to Wang Lin body, was a very ordinary defense jade talisman that he flipped out from the storage bag easily dissolved.
