Chapter 95 – Entering the Sect
When the word “Senior” is pronounced, three more rings light up, bringing the total to 43. After 43 rings light up, no more lights up, but they begin to glow simultaneously.
The attitudes of each of the eight youths changed once again. Their faces were filled with shock, then turned into almost insane respect. They knelt on the ground from one knee to the other, staring intently at the transfer array. It had to be said that if 40 rings lit up, it meant that the person’s status in the Corpse Sect was extremely high, and if it was above 40, then it was a Nascent Soul ancestor.
With that knowledge, it made sense that the eight of them would react this way.
Slowly, the two figures that emerged within the formation became more solid. One of them was around 20 years old. He looked extremely handsome, had a cold aura, and was dressed in black, which made him appear even more upright.
Behind him followed a strange blue-skinned man with many strange symbols all over his body. The most striking feature were the nine yellow talismans attached to various parts of his body.
As the two appeared, a gust of cold air spread out.
Suddenly, one of the eight young men let out a surprised sound. Soon, everyone was shocked.
This person was Wang Lin. As soon as he appeared, he opened his mouth and spewed out green light. The flying sword spun around him, releasing a cold aura with the tip of the sword pointing towards the eight people on the wooden pillars.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Wang Lin relaxed slightly. The eight youths around him were only at the 15th layer of Qi Condensation. If he wanted, he could kill them all in an instant.
The strange man, Adai, also for some reason stopped looking around like he had when they were in the tunnel. He stood behind Wang Lin and stared at the strange symbols on the wooden pillars, seemingly lost in thought.
Eight people stood on wooden pillars. One of them had a strange expression on his face as he asked, “Senior, who are you?”
Wang Lin had already planned what he would say on the way here. At this moment, he was extremely calm as he said coldly, “I am Wang Lin. Please tell uncle-master Ye Zizai that I have something important to say to him.”
The young man was shocked. He looked at the other young man and said, “Senior, I can’t help you with that. Let me take you to the elder.”
Wang Lin nodded. He walked out of the formation, and Adai followed behind him.
The young man jumped from the wooden pillar and the coffin followed behind him.
“Senior, come here.” With that, the young man flew towards one of the tunnels.
Without saying anything, Wang Lin followed the young man.
Along the way, the young man silently observed Wang Lin. The more he saw, the more he respected him. After all, strength was everything in the cultivation world; and with Wang Lin’s Foundation Establishment cultivation level, the young man naturally respected Wang Lin.
Adai, who was behind Wang Lin, attracted most of the youths’ attention.
Similarly, Wang Lin also examined the young man, especially the coffin behind him. Waves of cold energy were emitting from the coffin, and there was a layer blocking his divine sense. However, because Wang Lin was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was able to see through it with little effort.
There was a corpse in the coffin. The corpse was like dry wood and asleep. When Wang Lin saw the corpse, it woke up. Although its eyes were cloudy, it was filled with killing intent.
The young man seemed to realize this and struck the coffin. The corpse closed its eyes, and the young man smiled. “Senior, this corpse puppet was given to me by my master. Master obtained it from the battlefield of the outside world. It is extremely sensitive to divine sense and is filled with killing intent. It took me a very long time to finally refine it.”
Wang Lin nodded and said, “Your corpse puppet has a cultivation of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Not bad.”
When the young man heard those words, he was secretly shocked and his respect for Wang Lin deepened. It must be said that the coffin had the ability to block the divine sense, but Wang Lin was able to see it directly. Obviously, Wang Lin was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Perhaps even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Thinking about it, his attitude became more respectful as he asked, “Senior, is this your corpse doll?”
Wang Lin’s expression was calm as he nodded.
The young man’s face was filled with curiosity as he stared at Adai before exclaiming, “Senior, how did you manage to make your corpse puppet so intelligent? The only other corpse puppet that’s as intelligent is Ancestor Ze’s Flying Luo Sha.
Wang Lin looked at the young man and did not answer.
The young man kept staring at Adai, making him very nervous, until Adai couldn’t take it anymore and started shouting at the young man.
The young man was shocked when he heard Adai speak and asked, “Senior, your corpse puppet has evolved to the point where it can speak?”
Wang Lin frowned slightly. “This guy really talks too much,” he thought.
The young man didn’t seem to realize how annoying he was and continued talking even though Wang Lin didn’t answer.
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the young man began talking about Wang Lin’s corpse puppet, then to the other disciples, then to his own teacher, his ancestors, and so on. Although Wang Lin was annoyed, he was able to learn a lot about the Corpse Sect.
“The Zhao Branch of the Corpse Sect is truly amazing. People from the top 4 and 5 ranked countries to the bottom 1 and 2 ranked countries, all pass through here as a transit point. For example, the Corpse Sect branches in the 1 and 2 ranked countries are held here.
The tunnel grew wider as the young man continued to speak.
Wang Lin really couldn’t stand the young man’s chatter, so when he saw the tunnel exit, he immediately quickened his pace and flew towards it.
Inside the cave there are five large stone pillars and on top of each pillar there is a large blue fireball.
Atop the central pillar sat an old man. His complexion was extremely ruddy. His face was red, and his hair swayed without any wind. As he cultivated, bits of gas from the fireball entered his body, exited his body, and then entered the pillar.
The cycle continues. It’s so strange.
As Wang Lin flew into the cave, the old man opened his eyes. His eyes shone as he carefully observed Wang Lin with a cold gaze.
Wang Lin checked with his divine senses and found that the old man was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
At that moment, the young man also quickly entered the cave and said to the old man, “Elder, this senior just arrived through the formation. 43 rings lit up when he arrived and he wants to meet Ancestor Ye.”
After hearing this, the old man’s expression suddenly changed. He looked at Wang Lin with a strange expression and asked, “Fellow cultivator, who in the Corpse Sect opened the tunnel for you?”
Wang Lin replied calmly, “Wu Yu.”
Hearing that name, the old man’s expression changed. He stood up and said, “Ancestor Wu Yu, who disappeared for several hundred years. What… what is your relationship with him?”
Wang Lin looked at the old man and said, “Disciple.”
The old man sucked in a breath of cold air. Wu Yu’s status was extremely high within the Corpse Sect. If what Wang Lin said was true, then he couldn’t afford to offend this person. With that, he immediately smiled and said, “So, uncle-master is back. Junior’s name is Mu Rong. What is senior’s name?”
Wang Lin smiled faintly and said, “My name is Wang Lin. As for being called uncle-master, I don’t deserve it.”
Mu Rong laughed. He turned his head and looked at the young man. His expression turned cold as he said, “You can go now. I will take Uncle-Master Wang to Ancestor Ye.”
The young man immediately agreed. He turned and muttered to himself before hurrying off.
After the young man left, Mu Rong invited Wang Lin to the stone pillar and asked, “Brother Wang, why didn’t the ancestor come back with you?”
Wang Lin looked at the person and replied, “My master’s corpse puppet encountered some problems, so he is taking care of it.
Mu Rong nodded and said, “Ancestor Wu Yu’s corpse puppet is almost as powerful as Ancestor Ye’s. The stronger the corpse puppet, the harder it is to deal with; however, with his strength, it shouldn’t be a big problem.” He stared at Wang Lin, trying to figure out some secrets.
Unfortunately, Wang Lin’s expression remained unchanged the entire time. Mu Rong pondered for a moment and said, “Please wait here, Brother Wang. I’ll contact Ancestor Ye immediately.” After that, he patted his storage bag and took out a piece of jade. He held the jade in his hand with a serious expression for a moment, then tossed it over.
The jade flashed a few times, then quickly flew into one of the tunnels.
After doing that, Mu Rong looked at Adai behind Wang Lin. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Lin spoke while staring at the blue flame on the pillar with a surprised expression. “Brother Mu, this Yin fire also contains Yan energy. It seems unusual.”
Mu Rong laughed and said, “Brother Wang, these Blue Firelord flames were created by melting the cores of several Core Formation cultivators from the orthodox sects hundreds of years ago. After being further refined by Ancestor Ye, they became the treasure of the Corpse Sect. They are extremely beneficial to our cultivation and are especially beneficial to our corpse puppets.”
Wang Lin stared at the blue flame. He waved his hand. A sliver of blue flame floated toward him. He studied it, then channeled some of his Yin energy into it. A sizzling sound came from the flame, and it transformed into a small blue ball that floated in his hand.
Mu Rong’s expression changed slightly to a smile. “Brother Wang, transforming this gas into a solid form isn’t easy without a lot of Yin energy. It seems Ancestor Wu Yu loves you very much.”
The last doubt Mu Rong had about Wang Lin disappeared after Wang Lin demonstrated that move. He didn’t know that although Wang Lin’s Yin energy was similar to the Yin methods practiced by the Corpse Sect, the two were very different.
At that moment, the blue flames suddenly dimmed as more and more gas gathered from them. The gas formed the shape of a person. The figure radiated a powerful pressure.
Wang Lin’s pupils constricted. Under the figure’s pressure, he felt a sense of dread. Then, he looked at Mu Rong, who was already kneeling on the ground.
A gloomy voice sounded from the figure. “Are you junior apprentice Wu Yu’s disciple?”
