All kinds of thoughts flashed in my head. I stood there in a daze and even forgot to run away. Yan Nantian climbed up the stone wall and pushed me. Only then did I react. I took one last look at the giant corpse and then crawled through the hole in the wall.
Yan Nantian's corpse was small and thin, but he was much more agile than me. As soon as I got out of the hole, he followed me.
After we got out, the rumbling sounds in the stone room became louder. It seemed the giant corpse had gotten rid of the purple-green plants' restraint.
With such a big movement, the entire Corpse Yin Sect must have been alerted. We didn't dare to stay any longer and used our fastest speed to escape through the Yin Qi passage.
It had taken us around two hours to get to the other side of the tunnel. However, as we were running at full speed, it only took us less than one hour to reach the end of the tunnel. We crawled out of the tunnel through a small hole on the wall.
Although I was at the late stage of the Acupoint Pressing Realm, running like crazy had exhausted me. I fell to the ground and panted for a few minutes before I could calm down.
Yan Nantian's corpse didn't look tired at all. After crawling out of the small hole, he turned around and picked up a pile of stones and turf. He carefully covered the small hole. Then, he walked to me and said, "It's not safe here. Please get up and go to the place where my parents' bodies are. You can rest there."
We hurried on our way, but this time, I didn't rush as fast as before. Along the way, I used my Dao energy to help my body recover.
When we arrived, I didn't bother to rest. I immediately went to my parents' bodies to check. After confirming that there was nothing strange, I felt relieved. I wanted to find Yan Nantian and ask him what he wanted to do next.
At this moment, Yan Nantian was sitting at the entrance of the cave. He was holding a milky white porcelain bottle. His eyes looked blank as if he was thinking about something.
After seeing me, Yan Nantian seemed to have made up his mind. He picked up the bottle and directly poured the blood into his mouth.
I was bewildered. Although I didn't know what he wanted to do with the blood, Yan Nantian's body was just a Celestial Master's Yang Spirit. Why did he swallow the blood into the corpse's stomach?
After swallowing the blood, Yan Nantian closed his eyes. It seemed he had entered a meditative state. I didn't dare to disturb him, so I quietly pushed him back. I wanted to wait until he woke up.
He cultivated for several hours. When night fell, he finally opened his eyes.
Since we had stayed in this place for a long time, I was worried that the people of the Corpse Sect would start to search the place of the Yin energy passage. I of the Corpse Sect of the Corpse Sect of the Corpse Sect.
Who would have thought that when Yan Nantian heard my voice, he would suddenly turn around. His expression was ice cold as he impatiently glared at me. "Don't be impatient."
My heart froze. Yan Nantian had been so gentle that it was almost like he was trying to flatter me, but now he was arrogant and gloomy. His eyes were filled with disdain and disdain. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
A few minutes later, Yan Nantian finally stood up. He turned to me and said, "This place is temporarily safe. My Yang Spirit will temporarily come out of the corpse. You should start to refine the corpse."
A few minutes later, Yan Nantian finally stood up from the ground. He turned to me and said, "It's safe here for the time being. My Yang Spirit will temporarily come out of the corpse. You can start refining the corpse now."
I was surprised and doubtfully said, "It will take a long time to refine the corpse puppet. Should we leave Taihang Mountain first and find another place to refine it?"
Yan Nantian shook his head. "If we go down the mountain now, what if we meet the people of the Corpse Sect?
Your strength is too weak. If you meet the people of the Corpse Sect, it will be very difficult to escape.
After refining the corpse puppet, its strength cannot be underestimated. It will be a great help to you. Let's do it this way. "
Then, he closed his eyes and directly lay down on the ground. His Yang Spirit came out of the corpse puppet's body.
I didn't know why, but Yan Nantian gave me a strange feeling. I originally planned to refine the corpse puppet, but now I was hesitant.
Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit saw my hesitation and said to me, "What are you waiting for?
Quickly do it! "
At this time, I was finally sure that Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit had recovered its power.
In fact, when he risked his life to obtain the Heavenly Blood, I knew that it would be of help to him. It was very likely that it would help him recover his former strength. But out of trust and gratitude, I still helped him. I didn't expect that after leaving the Corpse Sect, he would change completely.
My heart sank to the bottom, but I still squeezed out a smile and said, "Big Brother Yan, the matter of the corpse puppet is not urgent. You told me before that when I brought you out of the Corpse Sect, you would give me a great fortune.
Now that we are out, I wonder what that great fortune is? "
Yan Nantian was stunned. His Yang Spirit turned to look at me. His face no longer had that gentle and flattering expression. Instead, he seemed to be pondering. With a mocking smile, he asked, "Do you really want to know?"
I nodded. "I was the one who brought you out of the Corpse Yin Sect. I believe that Brother Yan will fulfill the promise we made before."
"Alright."
Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit nodded. "I can tell you, but this great fortune can only be obtained after you refine this corpse puppet into a corpse puppet."
My heart became even more gloomy. Refining a corpse puppet into a corpse puppet was originally a good thing as it could greatly increase my strength. However, from the current situation, it seemed that Yan Nantian wasn't just thinking about me.
After being silent for a while, I asked again, "Big Brother Yan, did you already think of a way to reconstruct your body from the beginning?"
Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit sneered and nodded. "Of course."
"The method to reconstruct the body is the Corpse Sect's method of cultivating a human cauldron?"
Yan Nantian nodded again. "Apart from that, there is no other way.
Otherwise, why do you think those Heavenly Masters came to the Corpse Sect? "
After he completely admitted it, I finally understood. From the beginning, Yan Nantian had planned to use me as a human cauldron to achieve his goal of reconstructing his body.
It was the same as the Corpse Sect's method. He wanted me to refine a corpse puppet and then let his Yang Spirit reside in my corpse puppet. Finally, he would use the Corpse Sect's secret method to be reborn like the other Heavenly Masters who had reached the end of their lifespan.
The so-called great fortune was actually to take my life and reconstruct his own body.
I thought that after experiencing the tragedy of my parents' death, my heart had become cold and I would be wary of everyone. However, I never thought that I would be schemed against in such a short period of time.
Seeing that I was frozen in place, Yan Nantian seemed to be impatient and said, "Hurry up and refine it. After all, we have been traveling together for several days. Don't force this old man to make a move."
I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart. I raised my head and asked him again, "Big Brother Yan, you were previously used as a human cauldron. That's why your Yang Spirit had to leave its body. Why do you want to transfer this pain to someone else?"
After hearing my words, Yan Nantian suddenly laughed. His face was full of resentment as he said, "It's because this old man was harmed like this that I need to find a human cauldron to recover.
Others can harm me, so why can't I harm others?
Boy, is there something wrong with your head? "
I smiled wryly and nodded. Yes, he was right. This was a world where people harmed others. If others harmed them, they would naturally harm me.
Someone like me, who was still so naive, clearly had something wrong with my head.
After laughing, I didn't go to refine the corpse. Instead, I took out the Square Heaven Fan and raised my head to look at Yan Nantian. The bitterness and resentment in my eyes disappeared, leaving only coldness.
