The Corpse Yin Sect's cultivation method was rather extreme. The disciples of the sect could casually exchange pointers with each other. Fighting each other wasn't a big deal, so Xu Wei's act of stealing something wasn't rare.
The only thing I didn't understand was that I had just become Palace Lord Liu's disciple, yet he still dared to do such a thing. It was obvious that he didn't put Palace Lord Liu in his eyes. He probably had something to rely on.
However, no matter what he was relying on, I couldn't hand the Mysterious Yin Leaf over to him. This was a leaf from the Tai Sui's body. Who knows what secret it held.
Moreover, I had hurried back to study the Mysterious Yin Leaf, so I couldn't hand it over to him.
I smiled at Xu Wei and shook my head. "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Xu. I still have a use for the Mysterious Yin Leaf."
After saying that, I didn't pay any more attention to him and directly pushed open the door. I brought the evil sacrificial spirit back into the cave, leaving Xu Wei and Jiang Dongcheng to the side.
Not long after I entered, I heard a knock on the door.
I frowned and thought to myself, 'This Xu Wei really doesn't know what's good for him. Although I don't want to cause trouble, he's only at the Pressure Point Realm. I have countless ways to kill him without anyone noticing.'
If he really wants to die, then he can't blame me.
I walked over and opened the door. When I opened the door, I saw Jiang Dongcheng standing outside. When he saw that the door was opened, he immediately walked in with a distressed expression and said to me, "Brother Wang, your previous actions were somewhat wrong. Now that you've offended Xu Wei, I'm afraid that you'll have to suffer in the future. Listen to your brother's advice and quickly hand over the Mysterious Yin Leaf to him. Also, properly apologize and this matter can still be resolved. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you'll have to suffer greatly."
His words made me puzzled. I asked him curiously, "What right does he have to make me suffer?
We're all members of the sect, so how can he kill me and steal the Mysterious Yin Leaf? "
Jiang Dongcheng looked at me with a "you're very naive" expression and shook his head, "Of course he can't kill you, but just now when he left, he said that if you don't hand over the Mysterious Yin Leaf today, he will come and challenge you tomorrow. This is completely in accordance with the sect's rules … Also, Brother Wang, don't think that Palace Master Liu will help you just because you've become his disciple.
Xu Wei's elder brother is Elder Xu of the Purple Zombie Cave, and his father lives in the Flying Zombie Cave. If he really wants to fight you, Palace Master Liu won't dare to say a word. "
Challenge me?
A Seven Aperture Sealed acupoint cultivator challenging me, a Glorious Consciousness cultivator … Just thinking about it makes me feel awkward for Xu Wei.
At the same time, I felt that it was strange. Since this Xu Wei was the son of a Celestial Master, why did he want to snatch the Mysterious Yin Leaf from me?
After asking Jiang Dongcheng, I understood that everyone in the Corpse Sect had to climb up step by step from the White Zombie Cave. Even the son of a Celestial Master was the same. Also, in order to ensure that they could become useful, these geniuses didn't receive any special treatment, and were treated the same as normal disciples.
Of course, there were some areas where they had an advantage. For example, Xu Wei's talent was average, but his corpse puppet was a corpse with great potential that was personally picked by his father. That's why he was able to reach the Nine Aperture Sealed acupoint Sealed acupoint at the Six Aperture Sealed acupoint.
The reason why Xu Wei wanted to snatch the Mysterious Yin Leaf this time was because his corpse puppet was already at the peak of the Nine Aperture Sealed acupoint Sealed acupoint. As long as he took another Mysterious Yin Leaf, he would be able to reach the Complete Acupoint Sealed acupoint Sealed acupoint.
Moreover, a corpse puppet was different from a human. If a human wanted to advance to the Glorious Consciousness realm, their state of mind and cultivation couldn't be lacking. However, a corpse puppet only needed power to easily advance.
So after reaching the Complete Acupoint Sealed acupoint, his corpse puppet would immediately reach the Glorious Consciousness realm.
Every realm was a huge dividing line.
Possessing an Glorious Consciousness realm corpse puppet, Xu Wei could even move into the Purple Zombie Cave in advance. So he had already made ample preparations for the teaching exam this time. His goal was this Mysterious Yin Leaf. Who knew that I would snatch it first. He couldn't take it and came to find me, clearly wanting to snatch it.
After understanding, I shook my head. Who knew that such a simple matter would have such a complicated story behind it.
If it was anything else, I wouldn't care at all and just give it to him. However, this Mysterious Yin Leaf was related to the Tai Sui, so I definitely couldn't give it to him.
I shook my head towards Jiang Dongcheng, and said straightforwardly, "I can't call out the Mysterious Yin Leaf. If he wants to challenge me, then let him come."
Hearing my words, Jiang Dongcheng was clearly stunned. He looked at me as though he didn't know me. After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said to me, "Old Brother Wang … You're really different from before. Alright, since you're not willing, then I won't bother with this matter. But don't worry, I'll definitely pass on your message."
After saying that, he sighed again, as though he felt sorry for my attitude. Then, he silently left.
After he left, I immediately threw this matter to the back of my mind. I took out the Mysterious Yin Leaf and started to study it.
The last time I saw this kind of purple plant, I didn't observe it carefully because I was far away. But this time, I looked at it carefully. Just from the leaves, I couldn't see how terrifying this plant was. Apart from the strange color, it didn't look much different from the most ordinary leaves.
I closed my eyes and used my shaman energy to sense it. I could clearly feel that the shaman energy and Yin energy in this leaf were mixed together. The aura was almost the same as the aura in the Yin energy passage. The quantity and quality of the Yin energy in this leaf were quite good. It vaguely gave off the feeling that it was Heaven level Yin energy.
I understood that the huge purple plant was most likely a tool that the Corpse Sect used to transform the shaman energy in the Tai Sui's body into Yin energy. As for this leaf, it had been staying in the Tai Sui's body for a long time, so it was also contaminated with Heaven level Yin energy.
Because of the preciousness of Heaven level Yin energy, the Corpse Puppet was able to increase one acupuncture point.
After understanding the principle, this Mysterious Yin Leaf wasn't mysterious in my eyes anymore. I directly gave it to the evil sacrificial spirit and told him to eat it.
The sacrificial spirit needed a large amount of Heaven level Yin energy to recover his cultivation. Although the Mysterious Yin Leaf didn't contain much, it was still better than nothing. It was quite beneficial to him.
After understanding this matter, I stayed in the cave and continued to cultivate.
I was now at the Glorious Knowledge realm, so the next step was to break through to the Heavenly Master realm.
As long as a cultivator had the chance to reach the Heavenly Master realm, they would have a feeling that it was a revelation from the Heavens.
When I returned to the Fire God Temple and saw the silver-eyed man, I thought that I had received my Heavenly Enlightenment. However, the result was that he only helped me confirm my identity in my previous life. I didn't see any sign that could help me reach the Heavenly Master realm.
That was why I didn't have the extravagant hope of reaching the Heavenly Master realm immediately. I started to ponder the Astral Steps.
When I killed Lu Ziyang in the Imperial Tomb of the Shang Dynasty, I had already comprehended the sixth step of the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper.
In the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper, the sixth and seventh steps corresponded to each other. As long as I could comprehend the sixth step, the seventh step wouldn't be far away.
These two steps both contained great power. Now that I was in the Corpse Sect, who knew when my identity would be exposed. That was why it was most practical to first increase my combat power.
In the past few days, I had experienced countless hardships and dangers. Success was always honed in difficult situations. My cultivation smoothly reached the Glorious Knowledge realm and I also had a new understanding of the Astral Steps. After studying it for a few hours, I had a hint of understanding. Although I still couldn't immediately take the seventh step, I had a feeling that I wasn't far from taking the seventh step.
Generally speaking, the Astral Steps corresponded to the entire Glorious Knowledge realm. The two complemented each other. After reaching the Glorious Knowledge realm, the Astral Steps technique would also be completely comprehended.
However, the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper was different. The first seven steps already corresponded to the entire Glorious Knowledge realm. The last two steps couldn't increase my cultivation anymore, but they could unleash the power of a Heavenly Master.
In other words, the last two steps of the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper would allow me to have the ability to fight against a Heavenly Master in the Glorious Knowledge realm.
This was what I needed the most at the moment. That was why I planned to use the time I was hiding in the Corpse Sect to study the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper.
Immersed in cultivation, the night quickly passed. The next morning, just as I stood up to move around, there was a knock on the door.
