If I can enhance and fully develop my True Spirit Root, wouldn’t it be...
"Just the thought makes excited." Wen Jiu was overjoyed, previously considering to imdiately find a way to obtain the second half of Yinzhou Heterodox Record once the East Spring Undying Bone returned, but that idea weakened significantly. "The next cultivation plan is to nurture the Five Ghosts and Two Corpses, and simultaneously cultivate the fourth zombie."
After making the corresponding plan, Wen Jiu’s gaze fell on the Corpse Nurturer interface.
Indeed, the Corpse Nurturer had reached level three, but there was only one quota for mutation.
Lv3 Corpse Nurturer (133/5000)
[Secret Technique: Mutated Corpse]
[Special Mutation Quota: 1]
Wen Jiu naturally noticed the word ’special’ and imdiately checked the simplified information. He was astonished at what he found. The special mutation quota could also mutate corpses, and the mutated corpse would inherit seventy percent of its strength from when it was alive.
In other words, if Master Jue Ying was mutated and then fused with the Demon Cultivator Remains nurtured for a thousand years in the Demon Nurturing Forest, both would retain seventy percent of their strength, possibly making the resulting zombie still have Golden Core power.
"This..."
The special mutation quota could tily provide Wen Jiu with a powerful ans of protection.
But it also ant Wen Jiu had one less opportunity to benefit himself; gains and losses are intertwined. Wen Jiu couldn’t definitively say whether he’s gaining more than losing or vice versa. However, given the current situation, if there really were two extra ordinary mutation quotas, Wen Jiu probably wouldn’t have enough resources to nurture them.
After all, there are also the Five Ghosts and Law-Devouring Yin Insect.
"No matter what, this is just right for realizing the idea of the Formless Demon Corpse." Thinking of this, Wen Jiu contentedly closed the interface.
Just waiting for the East Spring Undying Bone to return.
...
Several days later.
The East Spring Undying Bone smoothly left the West Mountain Floating Domain under the identity of a Heterodox Golden Core Corpse Cultivator. The Celestial River Guard did not conduct much investigation on the unfamiliar Heterodox Golden Core, nor did they even check the West Mountain Order.
Leaving the West Mountain Floating Domain was simpler than Wen Jiu imagined. But, just as the East Spring Undying Bone traveled upstream along the Heaven-Reaching River, the matters in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range had already caused a stir throughout the Lu Family.
Shortly after East Spring Undying Bone killed Master Jue Ying, the Lu Family’s Golden Core Middle Stage Ancestor, along with the Great Elder, and Third Elder, arrived one after another. Upon learning that Li Bai had achieved a Top-Grade Golden Core and a Demon Cultivator appeared, the three rushed to the scene with all their might.
However.
Li Bai was nowhere to be seen.
The Demon Cultivator was nowhere to be found.
Only a ruined Nightmare Blood Yin Vein remained, and Lu Shouren, whose strength had been reduced to less than ten percent due to the Soul Poison.
Before fainting, Lu Shouren uttered one sentence: Li Bai was abducted by Demon Cultivators colluding with He Xiong Wu, whereabouts unknown. The Lu Family’s Golden Core Middle Stage Ancestor Lu Feng was utterly furious and imdiately rallied the Lu Family to search the Traceless Mountain Range for seven consecutive days and nights.
However.
No trace of the Demon Cultivator was found, nor was He Xiong Wu’s presence detected. But fortunately, upon checking the Life-long Spirit Contract, it hadn’t been broken. Since the contract remained intact, Li Bai was still alive.
"Damn the He Family, colluding with Demon Cultivators to ruin the future of our Lu Family!" After searching fruitlessly for seven days, Lu Feng was utterly enraged. Originally a profitable venture, it now ended in ruin.
A Top-Grade Golden Core!
The entire West Mountain Floating Domain hasn’t seen such a core in a millennium.
Even the Domain Lord of the West Mountain Floating Domain, a Golden Core Perfection Great Cultivator, is rely an Upper-Rank Golden Core.
If not for the He Family, the Lu Family’s future would undoubtedly soar because of Li Bai, and with the Life-long Spirit Contract in place, even if Li Bai reached Golden Core Perfection, he would never be able to escape the Lu Family’s grasp, and would remain a Lu Family mber for life.
Why fear the Lu Family’s decline?
The Lu Family could even beco the most powerful Cultivation Clan in the West Mountain Floating Domain!
But now, all this has been destroyed by the He Family.
"Ancestor, what should we do now?" The Lu Family’s Great Elder was also exceptionally angry, although still asking, he already made up his mind.
The Lu Family Ancestor Lu Feng furiously exclaid, "What else can we do? Aside from Shouren, everyone follows to the He Clan Territory. If the He Family doesn’t hand over the person, then I will destroy them!"
"Yes!"
The Lu Family’s Great Elder imdiately nodded.
Half a day later, the Lu Family’s six Early Stage Golden Core mbers and one Golden Core Middle Stage Ancestor simultaneously arrived above the He Clan Territory. The He Family was as if facing a formidable enemy, imdiately activating a Tier Three Middle-Grade Defense Array, while the Lu Family Ancestor directly produced a Tier Three Middle Grade puppet, with an apparent intention to attack. This scene caused a commotion throughout East Pole Immortal City.
"He Changyi, co out! Your He Family colluded with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s Demon Cultivators and forcibly took away the newly ford Golden Core cultivator of my Lu Family. I’ll tell you now, if you don’t hand over the person today, I’ll leave not a single one of your He Family!" Lu Feng thunderously exclaid over the He Clan Territory.
The cultivators of East Pole Immortal City and the Golden Core Zhenren who had co to observe were quite amazed, not only by the He Family’s collusion with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, but also because the Lu Family had another Golden Core cultivator. The Golden Core Zhenren watching instantly understood that the Lu Family’s newly attained Golden Core was definitely not just a Low-Rank Golden Core, otherwise, why would the Lu Family be so eager to directly break ties with the He Family? Despite not being as strong as the Lu Family, the He Family still held the status of a Golden Core Influence, possessing several Golden Core cultivators, and possibly so protective items.
Just as everyone continued their wild speculations, an elderly white-haired figure flew out from the He Clan Territory, holding a Life Soul Lamp in hand, angrily saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu Feng, I haven’t even questioned your Lu Family yet, and here you are knocking on our door... very well, let’s have the entire East Pole Immortal City judge this.
My He Family’s Zhenren was forming a core at the Nightmare Blood Yin Vein along with your Lu Family’s cultivator, yet my He Family’s Zhenren He Xiong Wu was killed, with even his soul obliterated. As far as I know, Master Wu Jian remains peacefully within the Lu Family. If you don’t provide an explanation today, my He Family will not let this go easily!"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators of East Pole Immortal City were montarily bewildered, uncertain who was telling the truth.
Yet, the Tier Three Life Soul Lamp of He Xiong Wu indeed had extinguished. A Tier Three Life Soul Lamp is such that even Golden Core Perfection cannot put it out; only when its owner dies, with the soul completely vanished, does it extinguish.
Could the He Family Ancestor He Changyi possess the ability to extinguish the Tier Three Life Soul Lamp, thus framing Lu Family mbers?
Hardly likely.
As all continued their varied conjectures, Lu Feng’s expression darkened, "Stop spreading nonsense, your He Family colluded with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, abducted my family’s newly ford Golden Core, and now dare to falsely accuse us; you’re asking for death!"
"Lu Feng, does your Lu Family’s bullying have no bounds? Does the He Family actually need to murder a Golden Core cultivator to fra your Lu Family?" He Changyi suddenly produced a Yin Talisman from his storage bag, "I presu you recognize this talisman, it is the Sanhe Photography Talisman, an exclusive item from the great sect Sanhe Sect, known for its Heterodox Yin Talismans.
This talisman is divided into Mother Talisman and Child Talisman; the Child Talisman can invisibly remain within soone’s body and won’t vanish unless the person dies, and has the capability to record surrounding sounds, transmissions, and images during battles against formidable opponents.
My He Family’s Zhenren was clearly killed by the newly promoted Top-Grade Golden Core from your Lu Family, and now you’re going so far as to spew baseless accusations. Just having one Top-Grade Golden Core and you’re eager to find excuses to destroy my He Family; do you really think my He Family has no ans to counter your Lu Family’s designs... go ahead, take action, even in death my He Family will drag you down with us!"
He Changyi shouted angrily, and openly presented the images and sounds from the Sanhe Photography Talisman.
"Why, why can the Lu Family obtain such a monster..." He Xiong Wu’s unwilling voice echoed.
"You are indeed loyal to the He Family, but those who dare provoke my Lu Family will face certain death! Don’t worry, I’ll certainly hand your corpse to the Lu Family’s Corpse Cultivator, refine you into a corpse, and use your corpse to kill your He Family mbers to repay today’s debt!"
Soon followed by a strange transmission with a mysterious Ghost Cultivator face, capturing and killing the soul of He Xiong Wu on the spot.
As the mory Charm abruptly ended, He Changyi spoke again in fury, "Everybody look, see it clearly, as soon as their Lu Family has a new Top-Grade Golden Core they want an excuse to destroy my He Family... other influences here in East Pole Immortal City, consider if you’ve had any enmity with the Lu Family, today it’s the He Family, tomorrow it could very well be you!"
During He Changyi’s impassioned speech, Lu Feng, along with the Lu Family’s Golden Core mbers, stood stunned.
It was Li Bai’s voice.
The figure was also Li Bai.
Yet Shouren stated that He Xiong Wu fled, and when Li Bai returned to help, he was instead captured by the Demon Cultivators from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect?
However, why did Li Bai kill He Xiong Wu?
The Sanhe Photography Talisman is an exclusive item of the Sanhe Sect, extrely valuable and intricate, impossible for outsiders to fabricate. This rules out the possibility of He Changyi fabricating the images, and thus these recordings likely reflect the truth.
"This..."
Lu Feng was montarily speechless.
The Lu Family’s Great Elder and Third Elder were similarly at a loss.
