I was bewildered as I looked at the absurd scene in front of me. My mind was blank.
Ever since I had embarked on the path of cultivation, I had experienced many life and death battles and seen countless corpses. However, I had never seen thousands of corpses piled up together like this.
Even the Corpse Storage Hall of the Corpse Sect didn't have so many corpses!
Although cultivators had Immortal techniques, they were still human beings. Seeing so many corpses of their own kind, no matter how high their cultivation base was, they couldn't remain indifferent.
While I was dumbstruck, the giant corpse hurriedly lifted his feet and stepped into the mountain of flesh. His legs slowly sank into the pile of broken corpses and rocks. Then, half of his body was buried in the rubble.
I was puzzled. I could say that he had destroyed the entire Corpse Sect to vent his anger, but now, he was gathering corpses and burying himself in the pile of flesh.
I couldn't help but ask the evil sacrificial spirit in front of me, "What is he doing?"
The evil sacrificial spirit coldly answered me, "Struggling at death's door."
Struggling at death's door?
What does that mean?
Before I could ask, the giant corpse suddenly roared again. His thick hair suddenly fluttered in the wind and seemed to extend a lot. Then, he inserted his hair into the pile of corpses.
When I was at the Yellow Spring River, I saw Goldie's hair connected to countless human corpses. The last time I came here, I also saw the giant corpse's hair connected to human corpses. However, this time, I didn't see those corpses … What is he doing now?
I asked the evil sacrificial spirit. He shook his head and said, "This is an innate divine ability of the Tai Sui. He can absorb the power of the Origin from the corpses … However, he just wants to absorb his own power to prolong his life … Unfortunately, it's all in vain."
What is the power of the Origin?
I asked again, but the evil sacrificial spirit shook his head and didn't answer me directly. "I'll know later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant corpse suddenly let out a sorrowful cry. The thick hair that was inserted into the pile of corpses retracted. Then, the aura of the entire person suddenly changed. There was no longer the feeling of madness and terror from before. Instead, there was a feeling of despair lingering around him. He was buried in the pile of corpses in a daze, and was silent for a long time.
I turned to look at the evil sacrificial spirit. He had just said that the giant corpse's efforts were futile. Looking at the giant corpse's dispirited face, it seemed he had suffered a great blow.
I tried to move my body. The power that had restrained me was gone, and the giant corpse didn't move. I thought for a while and decided to ask the evil sacrificial spirit what I should do next.
However, before I could say anything, the evil spirit turned around and said, "Follow me!"
Then, he didn't wait for my reply and walked toward the giant corpse.
I hesitated for a moment, then gritted my teeth and followed her.
When we stood in front of the giant corpse, the evil sacrificial spirit looked a little sad. He quietly watched for a while before speaking to the giant corpse, "You've lost your power of the Origin, and your blood of the Heavenly Path is gone. How long do you want to endure?"
The silent giant corpse finally moved. He turned around and looked at the evil sacrificial spirit. Then, he stared at me and said in a low voice, "Thousands of years have passed. The Heavenly Path doesn't tolerate us anymore. What else do you want?"
Although his words were directed at me, I didn't understand what he was saying at all, so I could only remain silent.
The evil sacrificial spirit continued, saying coldly, "The Heavenly Path doesn't tolerate you, but it doesn't tolerate us.
If it doesn't tolerate us, we will change the sky! "
"Haha …" The giant corpse suddenly laughed, a look of disdain on his face. "Change the sky … Haha, although I've been trapped here for thousands of years, I know the outcome of that battle. I don't know how you managed to escape, but you've already failed once. Do you still have any illusions in your hearts?
Last time, you wanted to borrow the power of the Tai Sui Clan. What power do you want to borrow this time? "
I didn't understand what he was saying, but I did understand the last few words, 'Tai Sui Clan'. This giant corpse really was the Tai Sui!
The evil priest suddenly laughed, but he only laughed coldly before stopping. He looked at the giant corpse with a burning gaze and said, "The power of your Tai Sui Clan is enough!
Why do you need to borrow any more power? "
The giant corpse seemed stunned. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "The power of the Tai Sui Clan has long since disappeared … There is no Tai Sui left!"
The evil sacrificial spirit shook his head. "Don't you see?
The Origin still exists. How can it disappear? "
When the giant corpse heard this, he suddenly turned to look at me. After staring at me for a long time, he said, "Right now … he's too weak."
The evil sacrificial spirit shook his head again. "He's not weak. He's just asleep."
"Asleep?"
The giant corpse laughed again. "My ancestor is also asleep in the Mountain and Sea Realm. So what if you've changed the world? Aren't you afraid that my ancestor will wake up and take away your Essence?"
The evil sacrificial spirit continued to laugh coldly, his voice filled with ridicule. "The Mountain and Sea Realm … hahaha! If he could take it away, why would he have thrown it away in the first place?
The Mountain and Sea Realm … hahaha! The Mountain and Sea Realm has long since changed! "
To me, the two of them seemed to be talking to each other like they were reading some heavenly scripture. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but it seemed like they were arguing.
The giant corpse didn't get too worked up, and didn't seem to want to argue with the evil sacrificial spirit any further. Listlessly, he asked, "Why did you help me undo my shackles?"
The evil sacrificial spirit shook his head. "We just happened to run into each other, that's all. However, now that you've reached the end of your lifespan, after you die, I'll consume your fleshly body. That should help me recover some of my power …. As for the remaining shaman qi in your body, I might as well return it to its Essence and give it to him."
As he spoke, the evil sacrificial spirit pointed at me.
I was stunned, but soon understood. The evil sacrificial spirit seemed to be telling the giant corpse to give me his shaman qi. Furthermore, after he died, the evil sacrificial spirit wanted to consume his fleshly body!
I couldn't believe it. Even if the evil sacrificial spirit wanted to consume the giant corpse's body, why would he say that?
Furthermore, he wanted the giant corpse to give me his shaman qi …. That was preposterous!
The evil sacrificial spirit's actions were preposterous, but the giant corpse's actions were even more preposterous!
He turned to look at me, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Very well. Since the Heavenly Dao doesn't tolerate the Tai Sui Clan, everything must return to its Essence …. However, I'm afraid my meager power won't be enough to wake him up."
A smile finally appeared on the evil sacrificial spirit's face. He nodded and said, "It will be of some help."
Then, he ignored the giant corpse and turned to me. "Go and sit cross-legged in front of him. He will release his shaman qi for you to absorb … Once you absorb his shaman qi, you will probably reach Heaven Master realm!"
I was completely dumbfounded, but when I heard 'Heaven Master realm', I was stunned. I asked confusedly, "Heaven Master realm requires one's mental state to reach a certain level in order to push open the door … Is it really possible to just absorb shaman qi?"
The evil sacrificial spirit suddenly looked up at me and smiled. "That door doesn't have to be pushed open. Plus, it's impossible for you to push it open … You can only smash it open."
I was shocked. I recalled back to when I'd reached Glory of Consciousness realm at the back mountain of the Metaphysics Society. In that illusion, I'd heard the voice speaking to me as I faced the river in front of me.
"Wisdom can cross the river, ignorance can cross the river.
Sages can cross the river, bandits can cross the river.
Butchers can cross the river, dogs can cross the river … You, can't cross the river! "
The evil sacrificial spirit had said that I couldn't push open the door, and the voice had also said that I couldn't cross the river!
My mind was in a daze as I walked to the giant corpse and sat down. Before I could retract my consciousness, I felt a vast amount of shaman qi enveloping me.
Before I could even absorb it, the shaman qi had already squeezed into my body through my limbs.
I already had the cultivation of Glory of Consciousness, and my Heaven Meridian was already filled with shaman qi. Now that the shaman qi had squeezed in, my Heaven Meridian was about to explode.
Compared to the shaman qi that had enveloped my body, only a small portion of it had entered my Heaven Meridian. If I were to absorb all of it, even if my Heaven Meridian expanded by ten times, it wouldn't be able to handle it!
Such terrifying power was far from just Heaven Master power!
Was the evil sacrificial spirit wrong? Could I really absorb such terrifying shaman qi?
