62: Enter the tomb of corpses and obtain the foundation-building inheritance!
Noon.
Nine Bend Market.
The sky was dim, and the streets had recovered some Life Qi compared to before, with slightly more people.
Many of the tightly shut doors belonged to miscellaneous servants and Outer Sect Disciples who had learned that the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall had been taken away by the Sect Master, and many Disciples had died.
The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was in chaos now, and everyone wanted to try their luck, to see if they could find any treasures near the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
After all, the Demonic Cultivators who initially survived had gained immense benefits, and just a few rumors had made many Cultivators green with envy.
For those Cultivators whose potential was exhausted, who could not advance an inch, and whose Physical Bodies were corroded by the Yin Fiend Corpse Poison, causing their Realms to gradually decline, this was an enormous temptation!
Many Disciples were willing to take risks.
At this moment.
Mao Kui Street, a corner of the Market.
Feng Dashan sat in his room, listening to the news from outside, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the communication jade slip in his right hand, lost in thought for a long time.
The Old Ancestor of their Feng Family, the Peak Master of Corpse Refining Peak, had indeed been captured by the Sect Master and had not returned, and no matter how he sent messages, he received no response.
On the surface, the Feng Family was already showing signs of harassment.
Feng Dashan was one of the Feng Family members in the shadows.
Feng Dashan had a three Spiritual Root potential, was now forty-nine years old, and his Realm was Qi Refining sixth layer, stuck at the threshold of Late Stage Qi Refining.
Originally, he had requested a Medicinal Pill for breaking through from his Family and had received approval.
But now, with their Old Ancestor Feng, their backer, missing, everything had turned to foam.
Feng Dashan's heart remained uneasy, knowing that many Feng Family members knew his identity. If Old Ancestor Feng truly perished.
Then, once his identity was exposed, he would inevitably be noticed by other Cultivators.
Being eaten clean would certainly be inevitable.
Even if he said he had no inheritance at all, his fellow Daoists in the Demonic Sect would never believe him.
“Wah—”
At this moment, Feng Dashan's window was smashed open by a Corpse Crow, and a crow's cry, like a great bell, exploded in his ears.
This made Feng Dashan feel dizzy and lightheaded.
Outside, after the Corpse Crow broke in, it opened its mouth, and a black Demonic Fiend Vine shot out from its mouth, instantly drilling into the dazed Feng Dashan's glabella.
...
Corpse Refining Cave.
Shi Chuan, inside his Immortal Cave in Great Pagoda Mountain, used the Demonic Fiend Vine within his body as a conduit to sense the aura of Feng Dashan, who was controlled by the Demonic Fiend Vine tens of miles away.
“It's done, I can control a Corpse Puppet with a Demonic Fiend Vine from tens of miles away!”
“However, the consumption of Spiritual Qi has increased several times.”
Shi Chuan sensed the speed at which his internal Spiritual Qi was being consumed, and his eyes showed understanding.
...
Feng Dashan in the Market.
After the Demonic Fiend Vine was implanted, he fell heavily to the ground.
A few breaths later.
Feng Dashan's limbs began to tremble, and then he shakily stood up.
His eyes lost some of their luster, becoming somewhat dull.
The Corpse Crow spat out a corpse mound token from its mouth.
If Feng Niu Mo's inheritance hidden in the Corpse Mound could only be opened with the Feng Family Bloodline.
Then find a Feng Family Bloodline, control him, and have him open it!
Just right, Shi Chuan could also test whether the Demonic Fiend Vine could maintain control over such a long distance.
Feng Dashan picked up the corpse mound token from the table, stood up, put on a wide black robe, and wore a bamboo hat to cover his face, heading straight for the Corpse Mound on Corpse Refining Peak.
The Corpse Mound on Corpse Refining Peak was located a thousand zhang at the base of the peak, connected to the great array on Corpse Refining Peak, and covered an area of over one hundred mu.
This Corpse Mound had been there since the establishment of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.
Occasionally, Disciples who violated Sect rules would be thrown into it, and the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall would also post missions for hunting Yao Beasts and throwing their bones into the Corpse Mound.
Over time, the Corpse Mound contained many potential Corpse Puppets.
The corpse mound token was the pass to enter it. This token was exchanged with Sect contribution points and was very valuable.
In less than half an hour.
Feng Dashan arrived at the entrance of the Corpse Mound underground.
Guarding the Corpse Mound was a Qi Refining Great Perfection spider Corpse Demon, nearly three zhang tall. It had woven a giant spider web with a diameter of a hundred zhang above the grotto at the entrance, sitting in the center, overlooking the scene inside the grotto below.
Feng Dashan walked to the entrance and dutifully handed over the corpse mound token.
A jade-eyed Corpse Crow stood on his shoulder.
The spider Corpse Demon hovering in the air spat out a ball of black Demonic Qi, swallowing the corpse mound token whole.
“Remember, you can only choose one Corpse Puppet to take out.”
An old female voice came from the spider demon's mouth, and then it began to move its long spider legs, pulling several spider silks as thick as water buckets.
Boom!
The Corpse Mound's gate opened, and Feng Danu bowed respectfully before entering.
“A first-grade superior Corpse Puppet.”
“An Outer Sect Disciple at Qi Refining sixth layer, actually having a Corpse Puppet of such a grade, his background is not simple!”
The spider demon above the grotto watched Feng Danu enter the Corpse Mound, calculating in its heart, and decided to abandon the idea of causing trouble for this Disciple.
Although Corpse Refining Peak now lacked two Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators, there were still other Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators who could oversee matters.
If it caused trouble and violated Sect rules at this time, its spider life would also come to an end.
Inside the Corpse Mound.
Feng Danu, guided by the voice in his mind, headed straight for the southeast corner of the Corpse Mound.
At the edge of the southeast corner, around the cold rock wall, Feng Danu wandered, searching for something.
The Corpse Crow on his shoulder, a flash of purple in its eyes, then flapped its wings and flew towards a spot on the rock wall.
With a few sharp claw strikes, it dug out a hidden compartment on the rock wall.
Inside the compartment.
There was a black wooden box, twenty to thirty inches in both width and length, with a Restriction set on it, emitting an unusual aura.
The Corpse Crow on one side rapidly grew larger, transforming into a giant bird several zhang tall. It opened its massive beak, bit the Restricted wooden box, and swallowed it whole.
Then, it flew back to Feng Danu's shoulder.
When he exited the Corpse Mound, Feng Danu controlled a medium-grade Corpse Puppet and left the place.
The spider demon perched above the gate watched Feng Danu leave in a hurry, only taking a medium-grade Corpse Puppet, and lost interest.
It seemed he had no real ability, and the so-called superior Yao Puppet might have been prepared by his Family behind him.
His talent was ordinary, not worth much attention.
...
Soon, an hour later.
Corpse Refining Cave, underground dark river, Yaksha Bay.
Under the gaze of the Eel Demon lurking nearby and the Corpse Crow standing on a protruding rock wall, Feng Danu stood within a seemingly complex rune array.
One of the inheritances left by a Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator, it naturally needed to be handled with caution when opening.
“Pfft!”
Feng Danu in the rune array spat out fresh blood, staining the Restricted wooden box in front of him.
The Restrictions, stained by the fresh blood, disintegrated and scattered.
In just a few breaths, the oppressive Restriction aura on the wooden box was completely eroded.
