Chapter 71: Since That’s the Case, Then Let’s Open a New Version
Five Elents Treasure Seals united as one.
The Five Elents Dojo.
The mountain-protecting grand formation of Canglan Mountain, refined generation after generation by twenty-three successive sect masters.
The power of all three fused into a single whole.
Even though this greatly limited the portability of the Five Elents Treasure Seals as an overwhelmingly powerful S-rank Hidden Treasure, the amplification it brought was unprecedented.
A crimson fissure split open across the do of heaven.
From that crack onward, the clouds began to churn and collapse, layer upon layer pressing down toward the earth.
At the center of the cloud vortex, arcs of lightning occasionally flashed, only to be swallowed inward, glowing with a terrifying violet-black hue.
The Listening Wind Grounds!
The brilliance of the formation diagram gradually dimd.
Only a faint glow remained.
At so unknown mont, a tallic coffin had appeared at the very center of the formation.
The coffin lid stood open.
Inside lay the corpse of a woman in silence, draped in a plain white silk dress that flowed over her body like water.
The fabric was thin.
It perfectly outlined the exquisite curves of her figure.
The silk over the front of her chest had been softly stretched apart to both sides, drawn taut at the center into a narrow fold.
Her waist was slender enough to be grasped in one hand, yet below it rose the full curve of her hips. Even through the cloth, one could imagine the delicate softness of that flesh.
This should have been the corpse of a human woman.
But the luster of her skin was far too warm and smooth.
Beneath it faintly lingered a pale, amber-like sheen of congealed cream.
Rather than flesh, she resembled so ticulously refined ointnt that had been granted the shape of life.
——Tai Sui Flesh Body!
Not far away—
Perfected Yue Su, pierced through by a longsword, collapsed in a pool of blood.
Cui Shuyu, still clutching the sword she had driven into her mother’s body, trembled violently from head to toe like a leaf in a storm.
Cui Wenxi stood frozen in place.
The enemy assault on the mountain. The sudden unification of the Five Elents Treasure Seals. Her younger sister’s overwhelming killing intent. Her mother collapsing in a pool of blood.
All of it.
The Five Elents Turbid Aura surged into her Violet Palace, disrupting her soul until her thoughts beca a chaotic ss.
Fang Chang rely watched.
Silently watched.
“Hehehe…”
A sudden chuckle escaped him.
He rapidly ford several hand seals and pressed them onto the formation diagram on the ground.
At once, the light flared brilliantly again.
So-called creation—
was the genesis of the Dao.
The Dao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two, Two gave birth to Three, and Three gave birth to all things.
Even non-human objects—plants, beasts, stone zithers, paintbrushes, wind, fire, thunder, lightning—when granted the spirituality of the Dao under specific circumstances, were simply the natural result of the Great Dao nurturing all existence.
Generally speaking,
there were considered to be three stages.
First, gaining qi through the passage of ti.
This Tai Sui Flesh Body had remained within the Nine Heavens Secret Realm for who knew how many years, and had even stayed in the innermost chamber rich with Spiritual Essence.
That posed no problem.
Second, refining form into shape.
This Tai Sui Flesh Body had originally been the substitute-death body of the master of the Nine Heavens Secret Realm. Since it served as a substitute body, it naturally needed to closely resemble its master.
Again, no problem.
Third, giving birth to spirituality.
The first two conditions were fulfilled because of the Nine Heavens Secret Realm and its master.
Yet this most crucial point was also obstructed because of them.
This was a substitute-death body.
Its spirituality had long since been erased.
The master of the Nine Heavens Secret Realm had been an expert in the path of vegetation. The rebirth of spirituality had been almost completely sealed away.
Back in his previous life, Fang Chang had discussed this with other players in the ga for a very long ti and had even ruined several alternate accounts.
This particular restriction had been airtight.
But later—
Fang Chang discovered a small bug exploit and succeeded.
Because he had not chosen Spiritual Awakening, but Demonic Awakening instead.
A strand of innate demon born from fragnts of Heavenly Dao Tribulation Qi, possessing nothing but instinct.
The refinent of the Tai Sui Flesh Body had been more than half successful.
All it needed was a period of nurturing and refinent, and he would beco the only Corpse Refinent Path cultivator in 《Fallen Immortal》 to use a Tai Sui Flesh Body as a Corpse Puppet.
And then he had worn his gaming helt, gone out onto the balcony during a thunderstorm, and eaten instant noodles.
Best not to ntion that matter.
Which raised the question—
How had Fang Chang activated a bug that would only appear in Version 2.0 while still in Version 1.0?
Fang Chang smiled and looked toward the gray-white air currents in the sky continuously being pierced through by the Five Elents Treasure Seals.
Very simple.
The Heavenly Dao was damaged. Dao Tribulation demonic qi leaked out, and demonic seeds manifested in the world.
If Version 2.0’s 【Innate Demonic Qi】had not yet arrived—
then he would open it himself.
“BOOM!!!”
Heavenly thunder crashed down violently.
The violet-black pillar of lightning was as thick as a basin opening, carrying surging demonic qi as it struck the coffin directly under the guidance of the formation diagram.
The coffin exploded apart, fragnts scattering in all directions wrapped in violet flas.
The air filled with the sll of burning flesh and sulfur as demonic qi intertwined with thunderfire.
Under the illumination of the lightning, the silk clinging tightly to every curve of that voluptuous body shattered into powder.
Fang Chang sensed sothing.
The corners of his mouth curled upward as he ford another hand seal, activating the formation once more.
The body instantly vanished from the center and reappeared beside him.
Fang Chang reached out to catch her.
A cool, soft, ointnt-like juicy texture flowed across his fingertips.
This—
was true skin like congealed cream.
The eyes of the Tai Sui Flesh Body trembled open.
They were completely white, devoid of any emotion, utterly hollow.
Although there were no pupils,
Fang Chang could still tell she was staring at him the entire ti.
The Tai Sui Flesh Body had originally been made as a substitute-death body, aning every aspect of her proportions had been replicated one-to-one from the original.
What should have had pale little knife scars had pale little knife scars.
What should have had Ultraman’s red warning light had Ultraman’s red warning light.
It was honestly rather embarrassing to look at.
Despite being kneaded and toyed with by the Yin Corpse for so long, Fang Chang still retained his innocent purity.
So he pulled out one of Zhao Yuntong’s bright red robes from the Black Tortoise Square Cauldron and wrapped her in it.
He opened the Corpse Refinent Path Class System, and joy imdiately appeared on his face.
【Corpse Material: ???】
【Traits:
Undying and Imperishable (Gold), Ancestor of Flesh Spirits (Gold), Tribulation Qi Body (Gold);
Tai Sui Pressure (Purple), Thousand Faces Without Features (Purple);
Newly Awakened Innocence (Dark Red), Spirit of Chaos (Dark Red).
】
Three gold traits?
They were sowhat different from the Corpse Material traits in the ga.
Perhaps it was because the thod used to invoke the demonic thunder had been different.
Fang Chang did not care. His smile only widened.
Though the corpse body possessed no cultivation whatsoever, it could gradually grow stronger through nurturing and refinent.
And with her Undying and Imperishable characteristic, she would undoubtedly beco an enormous asset!
The descent of the demonic thunder already proved that Innate Demonic Qi had begun leaking out. Yet Version 2.0 would not imdiately plunge into the era of grand demonic corruption.
It would take ti for demonic qi to combine with the world’s Spiritual Essence and condense into demonic seeds.
It would not happen overnight.
In short—
Version 2.0 was already not far away.
Fang Chang suppressed the emotions in his heart and once more looked toward Cui Wenxi.
Then—
next was her turn.
He softly called out.
Cui Wenxi shuddered violently, turning her head like a puppet that had lost its soul, her face covered in tears.
“Fang Chang…”
“Why… why did this happen…”
Fang Chang ford another hand seal.
The mountain-protecting grand formation flashed.
High above the sky, the fused bombardnt of the Five Elents Treasure Seals gradually ceased. The five seals abruptly separated, each refusing to yield to the others.
Streams of five-colored light scattered in all directions, dragging brilliant tails behind them.
Among them, the Fire Elent Treasure Seal, glowing with especially intense red radiance, suddenly made a sharp turn in midair. The red light dispersed as it descended at incredible speed before Fang Chang.
The Fire Elent Treasure Seal had a red copper base plated with gold, while the seal knob was shaped like a Vermilion Bird spreading its wings proudly skyward.
After years of nurturing and refinent by Cui Gao, the seal contained an enormous amount of Five Elents Turbid Aura.
In the ga,
this should originally have belonged to Dai Bojun after joining Canglan Mountain.
After absorbing the turbid aura, he fused the abilities of the Five Turbid Path and the Grand Void Path together, causing his cultivation to soar wildly.
But now—
Dai Bojun had never joined Canglan Mountain. Who knew where he was drifting about in the cultivation world.
Which ant—
Fang Chang would be the one accepting it instead.
