"Peep, peep? You don’t even know how an eagle cries! It’s ’screech’—!"
The eagle went, "Tweet, tweet, tweet-dada."
... Forget it, sotis it’s just like dealing with a nutcase...
Ahem, anyway, according to these years of Chen Xuantian’s research,
this thing is the projection of a Kun on the other side of the string.
In short, a Kun is still a Kun, but on Tie Dan’s side, it’s a fish, and on his side, it’s a bird—it changes depending on the dinsion you’re observing from.
As for how it grew from a little chick to a gigantic chicken, no, a huge eagle, it’s because it needs to eat.
Hmm, after years of communicating with the Kun, the Outer Heaven Void Swallowing Star Lord couldn’t survive on just drinking water and eating barbecue; its main course is ’Void Stars’, stars being those balls of pure light and heat, and void being just that, ’void’.
So Chen Xuantian refined the remnants of the aged Kongsang Daosist into ’void’ and fed them to it, and naturally, it grew larger.
This is called the mystery of chicken fate...
"Doodledoo."
The eagle cried strangely, taking Chen Xuantian to burst through the clouds. In the distance lay a vast plain, endless farmlands, intersecting paths, and along the roads gathered villages, markets, and towns, with bustling carriages and crowds, smoke rising and bustling with life.
The eagle swooped down like an osprey diving into the sea, plunging straight into the rock layers of the Earth Vein, skimming over the mine tunnels and Earth rivers, and finally flapped its wings to land, tossing the Blood God’s Son at the entrance of an underground palace, then perched on Blood Shadow’s shoulder.
Chen Xuantian’s Divine Sense swept over, realizing that this was the secured territory of the Corpse Resolving Immortal.
Trying to focus his Divine Sense with full force, probing upward like a needle, yet unable to touch the ground surface, Chen Xuantian was a bit surprised. Knowing this place was hidden too deep, perhaps deep into the crust, inaccessible to ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Chen Xuantian entered the underground palace, studied for a mont, unsurprised. The architectural style here, and the seal character decorations suggest it is a relic from the era of the Immortal Venerable, indicating that this Corpse Resolving Immortal is likely one of the earliest ancient cultivators.
However, from the river-mountain frescoes in the underground palace and the many accompanying demon relics, it seems this person had a deep connection with the Immortal Palace, at least not a demon suppressed by the Demon Suppression Platform. There are no Sealing Arrays around, just a proper Yin Mansion Immortal Tomb.
According to Chen Xuantian’s research and calculation of the surrounding soil layers, he actually found traces of the "Mountain Shifting and Ridge Covering Earth Technique," indicating that this underground palace was likely constructed after being sunk into the earth by secret techniques.
Indeed, the layout of the underground palace should be the handiwork of the Ancient Immortal Palace’s Ban Shan Guard. Clearly, the Corpse Resolving Immortal was not actively breaking out to harm the world, but rather voluntarily cooperating, allowing the Immortal Palace to bury and seal himself underground.
It’s just like the result on Tie Dan’s side of space-ti, the entire underground palace is now filled with dense Death Qi, under imnse pressure and continuing to accumulate and compress with the Corpse Resolving Immortal’s ’breathing.’
Now the overlying rocky crust is succumbing to pressure, with arm-thick cracks appearing and expanding. If the Ban Shan Guard’s legacy was still active, always maintaining and guarding, perhaps there’d be a way to redy it. But now...
This calculation shows that the earthquake in a millennium is an unavoidable disaster, with the ergence of the Corpse Resolving Immortal and explosion of Death Qi all within Genzhou’s doom.
Thus, Chen Xuantian made his way to the main hall, indeed finding a coffin inside, without locks or seals, so he knocked on the coffin board.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, hey, fellow Daoist, hey, fellow Daoist."
"You’re so annoying! I can’t be bothered with you, yet you’re still breathing! What’s with all the knocking!"
A crystal skull angrily flipped open the coffin board, glaring at Chen Xuantian.
"If you’ve got sothing to say, say it!"
Chen Xuantian, "I’m just here to make friends with you fellow Daoist, forming a good fate."
The Corpse Resolving Immortal retorted angrily, "Go play with your bird elsewhere!"
The eagle declared it’s a Kun, not a bird.
Chen Xuantian asked,
"In a millennium, there will be a great disaster here; the underground palace is bound to collapse. By then, the explosion of Death Qi will likely infect countless undead, all living beings trapped in dead bodies, never to enter reincarnation again. You have confined yourself here, presumably unwilling to witness such a human tragedy."
The Corpse Resolving Immortal lay back in the coffin,
"What else can I do! You might as well kill !"
Chen Xuantian clasped his hands,
"Pardon my rudeness."
Then a flash of red light appeared as the Blood God’s Son pounced on the Corpse Resolving Immortal’s body, beginning to scan his skeletal fra and cell structure.
The Corpse Resolving Immortal allowed him to inspect, lying in the coffin,
"What kind of divine power is this of yours? It doesn’t quite look like a Nascent Soul, nor is it quite Refining God and Returning to Void."
Chen Xuantian replied,
"If the Immortal Master wants to learn, I’d be happy to teach you this technique."
The Corpse Resolving Immortal snorted coldly,
"Are you really so kind-hearted?"
Chen Xuantian said,
"It’s not about kindness; it’s just treating symptoms.
You’re currently bound by Death Qi and a dead body, unable to escape.
And as long as you remain undying, Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi will be continuously refined into Death Qi by you.
Over ti, the entire Three Realms would be refined into a Death Realm by you, with all living things turned into dead beings."
The Corpse Resolving Immortal nodded,
"You’re right. You seem capable. So, what do you suggest?"
Chen Xuantian curiously asked,
"Putting aside others, you gained the Dao legitimately. Becoming the lord of the Death Realm henceforth, would that not be good?"
The Corpse Resolving Immortal cursed,
"Good? What’s so good about it! I achieved immortality to get with warm, living won! I don’t want to be with stinking corpses, maggots, and rotten flesh!"
