Capítulo 1480: Chapter 1469: Bagua Formation Diagram
Following Lin i’s pointing direction, Ning Fan discovered four more Corpse Raising Halls.
Lin i explained, “These four Corpse Raising Halls have always been closed.”
Ning Fan asked, “Is the Corpse Qi in all Corpse Raising Halls the sa?”
“Exactly the sa. The Corpse Qi doesn’t spread around, and its range of effect is completely identical.”
Fearing Ning Fan might not believe, Lin i suggested, “Why don’t we go inside and have a look?”
“No need.”
Ning Fan shook his head; there was no reason for Lin i to deceive him on this matter.
The eight locations where the Corpse Raising Halls are situated, the entire village only has Corpse Qi emanating from these places, and with such eerie Corpse Qi, Ning Fan couldn’t help but ponder deeply,
“Fei’er, do you think the geographical positions of these Corpse Raising Halls secretly symbolize the Eight Trigrams?”
“Qián Heaven, Kūn Earth, Zhèn Thunder…”
Matching the positions, one by one, Ma Fei’er beca increasingly shocked as she counted,
“That’s right. Divided in eight directions, equally spaced, this is a perfect Bagua Diagram; it is definitely not a coincidence.”
Removing these obstructive buildings would reveal the eight Corpse Raising Halls, with distances and angles between each totally consistently aligned, without the slightest deviation.
Ning Fan questioned, “Fei’er, might this Bagua Diagram be so kind of formation?”
“This…”
Ma Fei’er hesitated, gazing towards the central courtyard in the village core, which is the Corpse Herding Sect’s core Corpse Raising Ground.
And this Corpse Raising Ground is located at the center of the Bagua Diagram ford by the eight Corpse Raising Halls.
Seen from above, it is as if a giant Bagua Formation has tightly enclosed the Corpse Raising Ground.
Seeing Ma Fei’er still deep in thought, Ning Fan softly said, “Fei’er, don’t concern yourself with these matters.”
“Alright. Let’s first find Lin Batian.”
Soon, the three of them arrived at the courtyard.
Ning Fan spoke, “Fei’er, do you think Lin Batian knows we’re here?”
Before Ma Fei’er could answer, Lin i said, “The chances of him knowing are not high.”
“Why?”
“The Corpse Raising Ground is peculiar. Once inside, you lose perception of the outside world. Even with thunder rolling above, nothing can be heard below.”
They entered the central courtyard, approaching a downward sloping entrance, Lin i pointed and said, “Going down here leads to the Corpse Raising Ground.”
“You must be kidding. This is the Corpse Raising Ground.”
Ning Fan found it hard to believe, “This seems too unceremonious!”
In Ning Fan’s impression, such an important place must have many chanisms, heavily concealed, not so openly presented.
Lin i hurriedly said, “Young Master Ning, you have to believe . This truly is the Corpse Raising Ground.”
“I believe.”
Ning Fan felt a little emotionally challenged to accept it for the mont,
At this point, there was no reason for Lin i to deceive him on this matter.
Ning Fan asked quizzically, “Are you certain Lin Batian will be down there?”
“Absolutely correct. If Lin Batian wants to heal, he must go to the Corpse Raising Ground.”
Lin i added, “Even if he’s not injured. Over ti, Lin Batian would need to return here.”
“Why?”
Lin i spoke with a complex expression, “Due to the cultivation technique of the Corpse Herding Sect, if devoid of Corpse Qi for long, True Qi reverses, leading to deviation at best, or destruction at worst. Therefore, the Corpse Herding Sect rarely travels outside.”
Through Lin i’s explanation, Ning Fan learned a lot about the inside workings of the Corpse Herding Sect.
The Corpse Herding Sect cultivates a miraculous skill called Xuan Tian Corpse Refining, simultaneously cultivating True Qi while channeling Corpse Qi for their own use,
not only speeding up cultivation but allowing control over zombies a full realm higher than themselves.
It can be said to be a very formidable cultivation technique.
Everything with advantages has disadvantages.
Long-term cultivation of Xuan Tian Corpse Refining results in True Qi being mixed with Corpse Qi, residing within the cultivator’s body. Thus, everyone in the Corpse Herding Sect bears Corpse Qi.
This becos the biggest drawback of the Corpse Herding Sect,
cultivation of Xuan Tian Corpse Refining requires Corpse Qi; under the effect of the technique, the Corpse Qi entering the body and True Qi maintain a balance.
But losing this balance causes extrely severe side-effects for cultivators.
Excess Corpse Qi and uncontrolled True Qi lead the body to show signs of undead transformation, turning into half-zombies.
Although half-zombies are still human, they carry a corpse-like stench over their bodies, and beco easily angered, bloodthirsty, and fear sunlight.
If Corpse Qi continues to increase, they might even beco fully-fledged zombies.
Thus, disciples of the Corpse Herding Sect are cautious whether channeling Corpse Qi or refining zombies, fearing uncontrollable excess Corpse Qi.
But lacking Corpse Qi is also problematic, as the absence of Corpse Qi’s suppression leaves True Qi uncontrolled in reversal.
It can be said, once joining the Corpse Herding Sect and cultivating Xuan Tian Corpse Refining, one can only follow it to the end, leaving no room for regret.
Now that Lin i’s Dantian is destroyed, though her True Qi and Corpse Qi are both wasted, it is sowhat a rebirth.
Yet Lin i has unclear points.
The domineering aspect of Xuan Tian Corpse Refining is such that Corpse Qi doesn’t vanish due to a destroyed Dantian.
Instead, as the Dantian is destroyed and True Qi massively disappears, excess Corpse Qi gradually turns into zombie.
re wasted techniques cannot escape this pitfall.
Due to this, disciples of the Corpse Herding Sect venture further into darkness, automatically reinforcing their “loyalty” to the Corpse Herding Sect.
No matter how far they escape, even without pursuit from the Corpse Herding Sect, when the ti cos, rebelling disciples would return obediently.
Worldwide, only the Corpse Herding Sect possesses such Corpse Qi.
“Unexpected to hear your cultivation thod is so sinister.”
After speaking, Ning Fan questioned puzzledly, “Then how co you’re alright?”
Lin i shook her head, “I don’t know either.”
This was also her greatest uncertainty.
Ning Fan questioned internally, “Could it be the Divine Power in the True Qi dissipated the Corpse Qi.”
When Lin i was wrecked, she was already at the end of her strength, her remaining Corpse Qi was too little to rival Divine Power.
Thinking through various possibilities, Ning Fan could only conclude this reason.
“By this logic, Lin Batian indeed must return.”
Lin i affird, “Lin Batian has his Corpse Qi tightly contained, but it’s suppressed by cultivation strength. Once injured, he must return to the Corpse Raising Ground.”
“But is Lin Batian so foolish?”
Suddenly hearing this, Lin i asked puzzledly, “Young Master Ning, what do you an by this?”
“Would Lin Batian think I would spare him lightly?”
Ning Fan mocked lightly, “He can’t be that naive!”
“He won’t. Lin Batian is sly and suspicious, wouldn’t be careless.”
“Exactly. Soone so suspicious won’t risk being trapped like a fish in a barrel, will they?”
Ning Fan pointed at the Corpse Raising Ground entrance, “Unless there’s another passage inside.”
Lin i insisted, “Impossible. There’s only one entrance to the Corpse Raising Ground; I’ve verified it myself.”
Ning Fan laughed, “In that case, we just need to guard here.”
