Chapter 94 – Yin Corpse Sect (3)
Wu Yu revealed a pleading expression and immediately said, “I can’t leave this place, but I want to ask you to go to the corpse sect and ask my senior apprentice sister, Ye Zi, to come save me.”
Wang Lin’s expression remained unchanged. “Do you have a way for me to leave without the corpse puppet noticing?” he asked.
Wu Yu nodded quickly and said sincerely, “I can use the rest of my Nascent Energy to open a transfer array that will take you straight to the corpse sect.”
Wang Lin looked at Wu Yu. He smiled faintly and said, “If you can open the transfer array, why don’t you go back there?”
Wu Yu sighed and said, “That corpse puppet can’t get more than 100 kilometers away from me, and I can’t get more than 100 kilometers away from it. If it leaves the 100 kilometers range, it will die instantly. If I still had my body, my soul would have suffered heavy injuries, but now I’m only a Nascent Soul. I really don’t want to die with that corpse puppet.”
The statue’s vibration frequency increased. Wu Yu saw that Wang Lin’s expression remained unchanged. He clenched his jaw and said, “I, Wu Yu, swear on my Nascent Soul that I mean you no harm, so please help me, little friend. I can even give you Adai as a gift. Those nine talismans were already on him when I found him, and they contain unimaginable power.”
“Furthermore, I can sense that your spiritual energy contains Yin properties. I also use Yin cultivation methods. I assume you came here to cultivate with Yin energy. The Yin energy here is Netherworld-type Yin energy. If you go to the Corpse Sect, there’s a cultivation place that has Earth-type Yin energy.”
Wang Lin narrowed his eyes and said, “If the corpse sect has a location with Earth-type Yin energy, why did you come here to make a breakthrough?”
Wu Yu stared intently at Wang Lin. This young man was extremely cautious. No matter how hard he tried to convince him, Wang Lin’s expression didn’t change at all.
After hearing Wang Lin’s question, he smiled wryly and said, “Little friend, I already swore in the name of my Nascent Soul. This corpse puppet is not the same as a living creature. Every time it wants to breakthrough, it has to absorb Underworld-type Yin energy, so I brought it here.”
Just then, the statue shook violently, and cracks appeared all over its body. A series of cracking sounds rang out as the cracks grew, and the statue seemed about to collapse. Wu Yu’s expression suddenly became extremely anxious, and he said, “Little friend, if you want to cultivate Yin techniques in the Corpse Sect, you can pretend to be my disciple. I’ll transfer you directly to the Corpse Sect, and they won’t suspect anything. Little friend, think about it yourself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the statue suddenly shook violently. Cracks now covered the entire statue, and some parts even began to fall off.
Wang Lin’s mind was spinning. He knew that if he didn’t leave, his life would be in danger when the corpse puppet entered. He immediately knew that the corpse puppet was a cold-hearted killer.
Thinking about it, he nodded towards Wu Yu without a word.
Wu Yu took a deep breath. His hands continuously formed seals as a pentagonal ring slowly appeared before him.
This ring of light emits rainbow colors and a small suction force can be felt.
At that moment, the statue shattered with a loud bang, and a cold voice rang out. “Sir, I want to see where you’re going to run now.”
Wu Yu showed a look of horror. Without waiting for the transfer array to fully open, he shouted, “Little friend, hurry up and leave! Whether I survive or not is entirely in your hands!” With that, he flew towards the stone man floating in the air.
At the same time, Wang Lin charged toward the transfer array. The transfer array was unstable and seemed about to collapse.
The strange man hesitated for a moment and followed Wang Lin into the transfer array.
Just then, the statue completely collapsed. The young man entered with a mocking smile. However, when he saw the transfer array, his expression changed drastically.
As for Wang Lin, after entering the transfer array, he found himself inside a tunnel. He could feel his body being stretched and countless specks of light flickering like stars in the sky.
Wang Lin turned around. He saw Adai behind him, looking left and right. After Adai realized Wang Lin was staring at him, he muttered some strange words toward Wang Lin. His gaze was no longer wary of Wang Lin, but filled with confusion.
After an unknown amount of time, a light appeared at the end of the tunnel. The light grew larger and larger, covering most of the tunnel. Wang Lin and Adai felt the light’s power and were sucked into it.
The Corpse Sect is a demonic sect in Zhao. Although weaker than the number one Heavenly Demon Sect, the Corpse Sect is far more mysterious. It can be said that the Corpse Sect is the number one most mysterious sect in Zhao.
How many followers the sect has, where the sect is located, how many Nascent Soul cultivators the sect has, and such information are all unknown to the outside world.
There are even rumors that the Corpse Sect has been completely wiped out.
In short, this is a sect that keeps a very low profile, but this kind of low profile is something that the world will never forget.
The only thing people know about the Corpse Sect is their cultivation method.
Corpse sect followers only have one chance to refine a corpse. Once they refine one, they will never refine another.
This is a very magical technique.
For Corpse Sect disciples, besides their own cultivation, cultivating their corpse puppets was also crucial. The reason why this technique was so miraculous was because 500 years ago, a Foundation Establishment disciple possessed a Nascent Soul corpse puppet.
Although this disciple eventually disappeared mysteriously, his appearance caused a stir in Zhao’s heart, especially among the lower-level cultivators who now dreamed of joining the Corpse Sect.
But no matter how many people tried to find it, the Corpse Sect was like a floating cloud and could not be found by anyone.
In the westernmost part of Zhao, there’s an area surrounded by Yin energy year-round. Even cultivators don’t often come here.
Because besides the fact that this area is shrouded in Yin energy, there’s also the Nine Earth energy, which even Nascent Soul cultivators don’t want to touch. Anyone below the Nascent Soul stage will be injured if they touch it.
It’s said that an area with so many restrictions like this hides some kind of great treasure. That’s the idea that crossed the minds of many cultivators. Eventually, several demonic sects gathered their experts and breached the restrictions in search of the area.
But to everyone’s surprise, there was nothing there. Some people extended their search underground and still found nothing.
This treasure hunt turned into a farce, and they were ridiculed by the orthodox sect.
Gradually, because this place had many prohibitions and no treasure, this place was forgotten by everyone.
In the middle of the plain there is an area shrouded in fog.
Within the mist was a swamp that covered most of the area, and beneath the swamp was a giant cave. Numerous tunnels connected the giant cave to smaller caves, and tunnels from those caves to other caves. The entire underground area was covered in large and small caves, all connected to one another.
This is where the most mysterious demonic sect in Zhao, the Corpse Sect, is located.
The largest cave in the center was the size of several main halls of the Heng Yue Sect. Inside, eight purple wooden pillars formed a formation. Endless waves of purple energy radiated from the wooden pillars.
Many strange symbols and patterns were carved into the eight wooden pillars. There were also strands of light connecting them. If one looked from above, they could see that these lights formed a total of 49 rings of light.
Eight young men sit on eight wooden pillars, a coffin floating behind each of them.
Five rings flashed and a young man dressed in blue and a coffin appeared in the cave.
One of the eight young men on the pillar opened his eyes and stared at the newcomer. He spoke without any emotion, “Where did you come from?”
The blue-robed youth immediately bowed and said, “Corpse Sect branch, rank 2 cultivation country Lu. I, Lin Yi, am here to participate in the promotion exam.
The young man looked coldly at the person and said, “The 18th cave on the right, go.”
The blue-robed youth respectfully clasped his hands and exited the formation. After that, he counted for a moment and entered a cave.
The young man on the pillar nodded slowly. He no longer paid any attention to the blue-robed youth and closed his eyes.
Over the next few hours, more people emerged from the transfer array. The strongest person to arrive caused 13 rings to light up. As the 13 rings lit up, two of the eight youths opened their eyes.
Time passed slowly. The rings in the formation lit up again. This time, there were six of them.
A young man atop a wooden pillar opened his eyes. Just then, there was a sudden flash of light, and the other seven rings lit up.
“What is this?” At that moment, another young man opened his eyes. The two of them looked at each other, then carefully observed the formation.
Shortly after, the formation lit up again and the number of illuminated rings increased from 13 to 28.
“It seems a senior has arrived.” The other two youths opened their eyes. There was a hint of respect in the four youths’ cold gazes as they stared at the formation.
At that moment, a rumbling sound was heard coming from the formation as the number of rings of light that lit up increased from 28 one by one.
The four remaining youths opened their eyes with shocked expressions. As the 40 rings lit up, the eight of them stood up, knelt on one knee, and formed a strange sign while saying, “Welcome, senior…”
