After asking so many questions from start to finish, this was the information I wanted to know the most.
Besides avoiding the pursuit of the Celestial Master Sect, I also had another important purpose in hiding in the Corpse Sect, which was to find the Heavenly Dao Corpse.
To put it simply, if the Heavenly Dao Corpse was really a living Tai Sui, I wanted to see it again.
From my contact with Xiao Jin, I vaguely felt that there was an inexplicable relationship between me and the Tai Sui. Although I didn't know what this relationship was, I knew that the Tai Sui was likely to follow me.
When Xiao Jin was with me, he had already lost his cultivation, but this Tai Sui was different. It was very likely to be a Tai Sui with complete power. If it was with me, then Mount Longhu and the Corpse Sect would all be my opponents.
If I wanted to figure this out, I would have to go to the cave again.
From the situation that day, the Corpse Sect's ancestor was in the cave, so I couldn't force my way in. This competition was obviously an opportunity.
I hurriedly asked about the competition.
Jiang Dongcheng was excited and didn't doubt me, so he excitedly told me about it.
According to him, the competition was a grand event held by the Corpse Sect on the 15th day of the seventh month during the Hungry Ghost Festival. The competition was divided into three groups: the Second Era Group, the Third Era Group, and the Fourth Era Group.
An era was twelve years long, so the three groups were, in fact, under 24 years old, 24 to 36 years old, and above 36 years old.
After the competition, the top three of each group would be selected to enter the Heavenly Yin Cave to cultivate.
Among them, the top three of the Second Era Group could only enter the Heavenly Yin Cave for three days, the Third Era Group for one month, and the Fourth Era Group for three months.
Although the Second Era Group had the shortest time to enter, that was only because the cultivation of the young people in the Second Era Group wasn't too high. Three days of cultivation was enough. In fact, the Second Era Group benefited the most because the talented young people in the Second Era Group were likely to be personally taught by the ancestor or even accepted as a disciple. As for the other two groups, due to their age, they simply didn't have this opportunity.
Because of this, among the three groups, the Second Era Group was often the most competitive.
After introducing the basic situation, Jiang Dong Cheng said to me with a bit of emotion, "In the past, the competitors were all geniuses of the sect. This year, with senior brother Wang's participation, us ordinary disciples can finally see some hope …. However, senior brother Wang, you should pay attention when the time comes. During the Large Competition, the sect doesn't restrict life and death. If I remember correctly, senior brother Wang, you're only 22 years old this year. You have pure yin blood, so even if you can't do it this year, you'll still have a chance next year or the year after.
He knows how to care about people. I nodded. "Of course I know that."
Afterwards, Jiang Dongcheng talked about some trivial matters of the sect, which were of no use to me. After chatting for a while, I politely sent him off.
After he left, I sat in the cave and started to make some calculations.
If it was possible, I definitely had to go to the Celestial Yin Cave. Moreover, I didn't have that much time, so I had to try my best in this Large Competition.
It wasn't a problem for me to get into the top three in the group under 24 years old. Even if I didn't use my cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult to do it just by relying on the yin energy in my eyes.
The only thing I had to consider was what I had to do to make people not doubt my rapid increase in power in a short period of time.
Wanting to do this was practically impossible. Anything out of the ordinary could be a demon. Not mentioning anything else, just the fact that I suddenly awakened some Pure Yin Bloodline was enough to make people suspicious. The 15th of the seventh month, the Hungry Ghost Festival, was only three months away. Looking at Xu Wei's desperate attempt to raise his Corpse Puppet to the Glory of Consciousness realm, only by reaching the Glory of Consciousness realm would he have the qualifications to fight for the top three spots.
So, in these three months, I had to reveal my cultivation step by step, to at least reach the Glory of Consciousness realm.
But to go from sealing the five acupoints to reaching the Glory of Consciousness realm in only three months, anyone would be speechless.
At first, I thought of using my pure yin blood to increase my cultivation by leaps and bounds, but after thinking about it, I rejected it.
On the path of cultivation, although talent was extremely important, it wasn't the only requirement. Hard work, perseverance, and perseverance were all indispensable. No matter how talented a person was, they couldn't go against the laws of nature.
Other people weren't fools. If I really did that and explained it like that, it would definitely arouse their suspicions.
Just as I was at a loss for what to do, I suddenly turned my head and saw the evil sacrificial spirit not far away. I remembered something that I had seen in Wei Sanpeng's memories.
In the Corpse Sect, there was a disciple whose cultivation was only at the Dragon Seeking realm, but he unexpectedly obtained a Heavenly Master realm corpse puppet and became an elder of the Corpse Sect.
In the Corpse Sect, the person and the corpse puppet were one. It would be too exaggerated for a person to reach the Glory of Consciousness realm, but if the corpse puppet suddenly encountered some opportunity and reached the Glory of Consciousness realm, it would be completely understandable.
It was just that I couldn't think of what kind of opportunity I should give the corpse puppet.
While I was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door again.
Jiang Dongcheng had just left, so it was impossible for him to come back. Could it be that Xu Wei had already come to take revenge?
With some doubts, I went to open the door. There was a young man that I didn't recognize standing at the door. When he saw me open the door, he smiled and told me that Palace Master Liu had called me to the middle hall.
Palace Master Liu?
Why did this cheap master call me?
Could it be that he wanted me to go to the middle hall to cultivate?
I didn't dare to be negligent and went back with the evil sacrificial spirit before following the young man to the middle hall.
When I reached the middle hall, Palace Master Liu was in the main hall, but he didn't sit on the main seat. Instead, he stood to the side. On the main seat sat a woman who looked to be in her thirties.
This was the first time that I had seen a woman in the Corpse Sect. I couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. The woman was very charming and had an excellent figure, but her face was very cold, giving off an unapproachable feeling.
When I turned to look at her, her gaze coincidentally turned to look at me. I hastily averted my gaze and greeted Palace Master Liu as my master before walking over to stand beside him.
Palace Master Liu seemed to be very respectful towards the woman and didn't pay any attention to me. Instead, he smiled and introduced her to the woman. "Martial Aunt Lin, this is my inferior disciple. I've personally examined her. She has Pure Yin blood. There's no mistake."
Hearing how he addressed the woman, my originally calm heart tensed up and my body tensed up.
Palace Master Liu had the Glory of Knowledge cultivation, yet he addressed the woman as Martial Aunt. This meant that the woman's cultivation realm was definitely that of a Celestial Master!
My current cultivation realm was only one step away from that of a Celestial Master. Normally, when I saw a Celestial Master, I would have a special feeling that would allow me to distinguish the other party's identity. However, I didn't know why, but I didn't feel the power of a Celestial Master from this woman. My spiritual sense told me that she only had the Glory of Knowledge cultivation, and that she was only at the middle stage.
Was I mistaken, or was there something wrong with how Palace Master Liu addressed her?
I didn't dare to take the risk, so I secretly started to accumulate my power and waited for the woman's next move.
After hearing Palace Master Liu's introduction, the woman didn't pay any attention to him. She stood up from her chair and walked in front of me. Her pair of cold eyes stared at me.
My heart was beating wildly, but I tried my best to keep my breathing steady. As I looked at the woman, I started to communicate with Tong Tong in my mind. I told her that if I was seen through, she should wake up the Spirit Snake and we would deal with the two of them together.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't happen. After the woman stared at me for half a minute, her gaze shifted to the Sacrificial Evil Spirit behind me.
She stared at the Sacrificial Evil Spirit for half a minute, just like how she had stared at me previously. Suddenly, she turned her head and asked me, "Is this your corpse puppet?"
Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, I suddenly tensed up again. Could it be that she sensed something wrong with the Sacrificial Evil Spirit?
I lifted my head to look at her and nodded. "That's right, this is my corpse puppet."
The woman finally moved her gaze away. She turned around and waved her hand. In a split second, a dark shadow appeared from the darkness and stood in front of the woman.
I focused my eyes and saw that the dark shadow was a tall, dark purple corpse. The corpse didn't have any hair on its body and wore strange clothes. There wasn't any rotten flesh or bones on its face, but its skin was glowing. It looked like a living person.
It was different from the ice-cold woman. With just a glance, I was sure that the corpse was a flying zombie, which had the cultivation base of a human Heavenly Master.
My heart became even colder. I already felt that the situation was bad when I had to face one Heavenly Master. Now, I might have to face two Heavenly Masters. What should I do?
While I was thinking, the ice-cold woman suddenly made a complicated hand seal and placed it on the purple corpse. Then, she extended her hand and pointed at the Sacrificial Evil Spirit.
Before I could react, the purple corpse was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it was next to the Sacrificial Evil Spirit. Like a dog, it moved closer to the Sacrificial Evil Spirit and sniffed. It seemed that it was trying to smell the Sacrificial Evil Spirit.
This strange scene made me dumbfounded. However, I didn't let my guard down. I secretly accumulated the shaman energy in my body. If something went wrong, I would immediately take action.
The Sacrificial Evil Spirit was much calmer than me. It stood there and didn't move. It let the purple corpse sniff its body.
After a full three minutes, the purple corpse finally stopped. It looked at the Sacrificial Evil Spirit with an intense fear in its eyes. Its body suddenly flew backwards, as if it had seen some kind of ancient beast. It hid behind the cold woman with its tail between its legs.
